Andi Kleen eddb6fb9a5 [PATCH] x86_64: Disallow kprobes on NMI handlers
A kprobe executes IRET early and that could cause NMI recursion
and stack corruption.

I added a space before the CPU id for readability and killed the trailing

Paul E. McKenney 19306059cd [PATCH] NMI: Update NMI users of RCU to use new API
Uses of RCU for dynamically changeable NMI handlers need to use the new
rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() facilities.  This change makes
it clear that these uses are safe from a memory-barrier viewpoint, but the
main purpose is to document exactly what operations are being protected by
RCU.  This has been tested on x86 and x86-64, which are the only
architectures affected by this change.

Ingo Molnar 8446f1d391 [PATCH] detect soft lockups
This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP.

When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run
once per second.  If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a
callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a
warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident).  The feature
is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it
only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by
the lockup.

Ashok Raj e6982c671c [PATCH] x86_64: Change init sections for CPU hotplug support
This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past
boot to support cpu hotplug.

Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from
Andi Kleen.  Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other
archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont
mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and
__devinitdata.

If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all
existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit,
and __cpudevinit.

Andi Kleen 751521149a [PATCH] x86_64: Collected NMI watchdog fixes.
Collected NMI watchdog fixes.

- Fix call of check_nmi_watchdog

- Remove earlier move of check_nmi_watchdog to later.  It does not fix the
  race it was supposed to fix fully.

- Remove unused P6 definitions

- Add support for performance counter based watchdog on P4 systems.

  This allows to run it only once per second, which saves some CPU time.
  Previously it would run at 1000Hz, which was too much.

  Code ported from i386

  Make this the default on Intel systems.

- Use check_nmi_watchdog with local APIC based nmi

- Fix race in touch_nmi_watchdog

- Fix bug that caused incorrect performance counters to be programmed in a
  few cases on K8.

- Remove useless check for local APIC

- Use local_t and per_cpu variables for per CPU data.

- Keep other CPUs busy during check_nmi_watchdog to make sure they really
  tick when in lapic mode.

- Only check CPUs that are actually online.

- Various other fixes.

- Fix fallback path when MSRs are unimplemented

Jack F Vogel 67701ae976 [PATCH] check nmi watchdog is broken
A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the
check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing.

I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the
recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a
problem.  Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally
passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the
callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they
have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails
out.

On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is
also bougs...  by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the
NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs.  Its just that the test is
being done too early.

I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always
too early.  I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine
via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.

Andi Kleen a8ab26fe5b [PATCH] x86_64: Switch SMP bootup over to new CPU hotplug state machine
This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of
crufty code.  It also should plug some races that the old hackish way
introduces.  Remove one old race workaround in NMI watchdog setup that is not
needed anymore.

I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code.  The brag value of
BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market.

Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is
there now.

One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before.  The
old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later.  Instead the TSC of the
BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate.

akpm:

- sync_tsc_bp_init seems to have the sense of `init' inverted.

- SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated - use DEFINE_SPINLOCK.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
