Ray Lee reported, that on an UP kernel with "noapic" command line option
set, the box locks hard during boot.
Adding some debug printks revealed, that the last action on the box
before stalling was "Send IPI" - a debug printk which was put into
smp_send_timer_broadcast_ipi().
It seems that send_IPI_mask(mask, LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR) fails when
"noapic" is set on the command line on an UP kernel.
Aside of that it does not make much sense to trigger an interrupt
instead of calling the function directly on the CPU which gets the
PIT/HPET interrupt in case of broadcasting.

The segment register slots in struct pt_regs are padded to 32 bits.
Some of these are stored with instructions like "pushl %es", which
leaves the high 16 bits as they were. So the high bits of these
fields in struct pt_regs contain kernel stack garbage. These bits are
ignored by everything and never leak to user space, except in core
dumps. The user struct pt_regs is always at the base of the thread's
kernel stack and so it seems unlikely the information that leaks from
here is ever worthwhile so as to be a security concern, but I'm not
sure about that. It has been this way for ages; userland consumers of
core dumps all mask off these high bits themselves. So it is not urgent.
This change masks off the padding bits of the segment register slots
in core dumps. ptrace already masks off these high bits, so this
makes the values in core dumps consistent with what ptrace would
report just before the process died.
As I read the processor manuals, the cs and ss values will always be
padded with zero bits rather than stack garbage. But unlike "pushl %es",
this is not simple to test with a userland program. So I added the two
instructions rather than wonder if they are really never necessary.
I think that x86_64 does not have this problem (for either 32-bit or
64-bit processes). It only uses "mov" instructions from segment
registers, which zero-extend.

Fix the /proc/pid/stat representation of executable boundaries. It should

Before the patch is applied, the bug can be seen by examining, say, inetd:

$1 = 0xc3458000
(gdb) p/x 3276141668
$2 = 0xc345f464

lockdep's data shouldn't be used when debug_locks == 0 because it's not
updated after this, so it's more misleading than helpful.
PS: probably lockdep's current-> fields should be reset after it turns
debug_locks off: so, after printing a bug report, but before return from
exported functions, but there are really a lot of these possibilities (e.g.
after DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON), so, something could be missed. (Of course
direct use of this fields isn't recommended either.)

Fix unannotated variable declarations. Variables that have allocation
section annotations (such as __meminitdata) on their definitions must also
have them on their declarations as not doing so may affect the addressing
mode used by the compiler and may result in a linker error.

The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States. This is handled by
the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment
code.
Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch
into deeper C-States behind the kernels back. This delays the local apic
timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable.
Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi
quirk for known broken systems.
Andi sayeth:
While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic
-- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide
spread we will just continue extending it.
But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with
it.

The PIT has no dedicated mode for shut down. The only way to disable PIT
is to put it into one shot mode. AMD implementations of PIT on Geode
(also observed on Cyrix) are confused by an "empty" transition from
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN, which puts the PIT
into one shot mode momentarily.
I realized after staring helpless at the bug report
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 for quite a while, that
the only change, which might influence the bogomips calibration, is the
above transition during the PIT initialization.
Avoiding the unnecessary switch to oneshot and later to periodic mode
fixes the weird bogomips value and also the resulting slowness.
The fix is confirmed on OLPC and another Geode based box.
Note: this is unrelated to the Dual Core problem discussed here:
