I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e.  it missed
converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm.  While most of
them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi
doesn't appear to be.

Jan Beulich 101f12af16 [PATCH] i386: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain callbacks
Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously
primarily intended for use by modules.  However, the way these currently
get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by
modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger
the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result.

This is because the callback gets invoked

(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
    gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
    entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and

(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
    since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
    potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in-
kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed
memory inside their handlers.

Stas Sergeev 99b7de3347 [PATCH] x86: early printk handling fixes
The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months
already.  The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init,
and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing...  OK,
booting kernel", and silence.  Early console didn't work too.  With the
latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown
interrupt or fault" messages.  So today my patience ran out and I started
to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report.  Attached
is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem
by making an early console more useable.  I can't properly test the patch,
as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope
someone else can justify the intrusive changes.

arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk().

setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype.  Moved
setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover
the bug I was fighting with.

early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen,
otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you
can't read them.

Gerd Hoffmann 9a0b5817ad [PATCH] x86: SMP alternatives
Implement SMP alternatives, i.e.  switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP.  The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.

With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.

Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.

The changes in detail:

  * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
    the SMP alternatives code is added there.

  * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
    .smp_altinstructions
	like .altinstructions, also contains a list
	of alt_instr structs.
    .smp_altinstr_replacement
	like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
	save original instruction before replaving it.
    .smp_locks
	list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
	out on UP.
    The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
    sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores.  It would be possible
    to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
    them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.

 * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
   can be free if they are not needed.

 * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
   use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

Also removes the brackets around addresses when printing more

instead of:
    [<address>]
This helps multiple entries fit better on one line.

Andrew Morton 78eef01b0f [PATCH] on_each_cpu(): disable local interrupts
When on_each_cpu() runs the callback on other CPUs, it runs with local
interrupts disabled.  So we should run the function with local interrupts
disabled on this CPU, too.

And do the same for UP, so the callback is run in the same environment on both
UP and SMP.  (strictly it should do preempt_disable() too, but I think
local_irq_disable is sufficiently equivalent).

Also uninlines on_each_cpu().  softirq.c was the most appropriate file I could
find, but it doesn't seem to justify creating a new file.

Oh, and fix up that comment over (under?) x86's smp_call_function().  It

Bryce reported a bug wherein offlining CPU0 (on x86 box) and then
subsequently onlining it resulted in a lockup.

On x86, CPU0 is never offlined.  The subsequent attempt to online CPU0
doesn't take that into account.  It actually tries to bootup the already
booted CPU.  Following patch fixes the problem (as acknowledged by Bryce).
Please consider for inclusion in 2.6.16.

Andi Kleen f9262c12c0 [PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 II
ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled.  This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.

This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.

I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)

Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.

I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.

Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

Quoth Andi:
  "After some consideration and feedback from various people it turns
   out this wasn't that good an idea.  It has some problems and needs
   more work.  Since it was only an optimization anyways it's best to
   just back it out again for now."

Zachary Amsden 9c869edac5 [PATCH] Fix topology.c location
When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel
build.  This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail.  In addition,
on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to
reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall
in topology.c which calls register_cpu.  This causes a kernel panic on boot
on newer Intel processors.  Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes
both of these problems.

Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

James Bottomley 2b932f6cf0 [PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequence
Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero.  There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S).  This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

Lost a few hours debugging an early-bootup fault within printk itself,
which manifested itself as a hard to debug early hang.

This patch makes it much easier by printing out early faults via
early_printk(), which function is a lot simpler than a full printk, and
hence more likely to succeed in emergencies.  (We do not recover from early
faults anyway, so there's no loss from not having these messages in the
normal printk buffer.)

Ulrich Drepper cff2b76009 [PATCH] fstatat64 support
The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline.  The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.

This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined.  I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear.  Other archs will continue to use the existing code.  On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function.  this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.

This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall).  Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode.  I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected).  It should be done by the arch
maintainers.  I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly.  Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).

The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

Andrew Morton 7a8ef1cb77 [PATCH] x86: don't initialise cpu_possible_map to all ones
Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that

a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather
   than over possible ones.  That can be quite expensive.

b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs.  So with
   CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.

I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case.  Should be OK..

I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL.  Suggest that it stop doing
that.

Chuck Ebbert fe38d8553c [PATCH] i386 cpu hotplug: don't access freed memory
i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug.  The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.

Fix that by:

        1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
        2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
        3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
           to a safe default when the vendor is not found.

This does not change behavior for AMD systems.  They were broken already
but no error was reported.

Eric Dumazet 88a2a4ac6b [PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUs
percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of
cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus.

As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS
loops to use for_each_cpu().

(The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h.  powerpc has gone it
alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's
currently corrupting memory).
