I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was
tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler.
There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC
interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs.
Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context,
the disable is done with a schedule_work(). But with continual CMC
interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed.
The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current
CPU. This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts,
execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest
of the CPUs.

By allocating early memory for the firmware page tables, we
can write over the beginning of the initrd image.
So what we do now is:
1) Read in firmware translations table while still on the
firmware's trap table.
2) Switch to Linux trap table.
3) Init bootmem.
4) Build firmware page tables using __alloc_bootmem().
And this keeps the initrd from being clobbered.

Older Macs which uses the VIA chip timers to calibrate the timebase used
some code that wouldn't work if HZ wasn't divisible by 100...
This fixes it at least for 250. Not totally perfect but should be
enough for now (so it at least works with the default value which is now
250).
There is still a potential issue with the core using CLOCK_TICK_RATE to
maintain xtime and CLOCK_TICK_RATE value on ppc32 is pure crap, but that
is a different problem, this patch at least brings us back to our
previous situation.

Drop global bit from early low mappings
Suggested by Linus, originally also proposed by Suresh.
This fixes a race condition with early start of udev, originally
tracked down by Suresh B. Siddha. The problem was that switching
to the user space VM would not clear the global low mappings
for the beginning of memory, which lead to memory corruption.
Drop the global bits.
The kernel mapping stays global because it should stay constant.

2.6.14-rc2 does not assign cpus to proper nodeids on our em64t numa boxen.
Our boxes use acpi srat for parsing the numa information.
srat_detect_node() used phys_proc_id[] to get to the cpu's local apic id,
but phys_proc_id[] represents the cpu<->initial_apic_id mapping. The
following patch fixes this problem. Now apicid_to_node[] is properly

The tests Alok carried out on Petr's box confirmed that cpu_to_node[BP] is
not setup early enough by numa_init_array due to the x86_64 changes in
2.6.14-rc*, and unfortunately set wrongly by the work around code in
numa_init_array(). cpu_to_node[0] gets set with 1 early and later gets set
properly to 0 during identify_cpu() when all cpus are brought up, but
confusing the numa slab in the process.
Here is a quick fix for this. The right fix obviously is to have
cpu_to_node[bsp] setup early for numa_init_array(). The following patch
will fix the problem now, and the code can stay on even when
cpu_to_node{BP] gets fixed early correctly.
Thanks to Petr for access to his box.

cpu_to_node[] is setup much later at srat_detect_node on acpi srat based

The attempt to fixup the lockless mce log buffer introduced an infinite loop
when trying to find a free entry.
And:
Using rcu_dereference() to load mcelog.next doesn't seem to be sufficient
enough to ensure that mcelog.next is loaded each time around the loop in
mce_log(). Instead, use an explicit rmb() to ensure that the compiler gets it
right.
