04aaa7ba09 x86: fix cmos read and write to not use inb_p and outb_p
fix code to access CMOS rtc registers so that it does not use inb_p and
outb_p routines, which are deprecated.  Extensive research on all known
CMOS RTC chipset timing shows that there is no need for a delay in
accessing the registers of these chips even on old machines. These chipa
are never on an expansion bus, but have always been "motherboard"
resources, either in the processor chipset or explicitly on the
motherboard, and they are not part of the ISA/LPC or PCI buses, so
delays should not be based on bus timing. The reason to fix it:

 1) port 80 writes often hang some laptops that use ENE EC chipsets,
    esp. those designed and manufactured by Quanta for HP;

 2) RTC accesses are timing sensitive, and extra microseconds may matter;

 3) the new "io_delay" function is calibrated by expansion bus timing needs,
    thus is not appropriate for access to CMOS rtc registers.

03ae5768b6 x86: use ELF section to list CPU vendor specific code
Replace the hardcoded list of initialization functions for each CPU
vendor by a list in an ELF section, which is read at initialization in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu.c to fill the cpu_devs[] array. The ELF
section, named .x86cpuvendor.init, is reclaimed after boot, and
contains entries of type "struct cpu_vendor_dev" which associates a
vendor number with a pointer to a "struct cpu_dev" structure.

This first modification allows to remove all the VENDOR_init_cpu()
functions.

This patch also removes the hardcoded calls to early_init_amd() and
early_init_intel(). Instead, we add a "c_early_init" member to the
cpu_dev structure, which is then called if not NULL by the generic CPU
initialization code. Unfortunately, in early_cpu_detect(), this_cpu is
not yet set, so we have to use the cpu_devs[] array directly.

This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is needed for
further patch that will allow to disable compilation of unused CPU
support code.

1a3e4ca41c x86 vDSO: don't use disabled vDSO for signal trampoline
If the vDSO was not mapped, don't use it as the "restorer" for a signal
handler.  Whether we have a pointer in mm->context.vdso depends on what
happened at exec time, so we shouldn't check any global flags now.

Background:

Currently, every 32-bit exec gets the vDSO mapped even if it's disabled
(the process just doesn't get told about it).  Because it's in fact
always there, the bug that this patch fixes cannot happen now.  With
the second patch, it won't be mapped at all when it's disabled, which is
one of the things that people might really want when they disable it (so
nothing they didn't ask for goes into their address space).

The 32-bit signal handler setup when SA_RESTORER is not used refers to
current->mm->context.vdso without regard to whether the vDSO has been
disabled when the process was exec'd.  This patch fixes this not to use
it when it's null, which becomes possible after the second patch. (This
never happens in normal use, because glibc's sigaction call uses
SA_RESTORER unless glibc detected the vDSO.)

54a0151041 asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.

Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.

More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

783e391b7b x86: Simplify cpu_idle_wait
This patch also resolves hangs on boot:
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/263
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10093

The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on
certain laptops.

Earlier commit 40d6a14662 added
smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless
idle.  Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be
over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle
handler).

Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy
smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler
and start using the new idle handler.  It eliminates code in the idle
loop to handle cpu_idle_wait.

f4be31ec96 pop previous section in alternative.c
gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type.
The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs
in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when
the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when
executing this code.

This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the
original section.

Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a
bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel.  ;-)

4f41c94d5c x86: fix call to set_cyc2ns_scale() from time_cpufreq_notifier()
In time_cpufreq_notifier() the cpu id to act upon is held in freq->cpu. Use it
instead of smp_processor_id() in the call to set_cyc2ns_scale().
This makes the preempt_*able() unnecessary and lets set_cyc2ns_scale() update
the intended cpu's cyc2ns.

it has been identified to cause suspend regression - and the
commit fixes a longstanding bug that existed before 2.6.25 was
opened - so it can wait some more until the effects are better

64ba4f230d Fix booting pentium+ with dodgy TSC
We handle a broken tsc these days, so no need to panic.  We clear the
TSC bit when tsc_init decides it's unreliable (eg.  under lguest w/ bad
host TSC), leading to bogus panic.

    x86: assign IRQs to HPET timers

have been identified to cause a regression on some platforms due to
the assignement of legacy IRQs which makes the legacy devices
connected to those IRQs disfunctional.

Revert them.

47001d6033 x86: tsc prevent time going backwards
We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there
is a subtle bug which has been in the code for ever. This can cause
time jumps in the range of hours.

This was reported in:
     http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96
and
     http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23

I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a
dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized
TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the
kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still
there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed
with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this
with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this
might be observable with the syscall based version as well.

CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and
CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right
after the seqlock was unlocked.

The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and
the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference
data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned
subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm
can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like
pm timer.

The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which
is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1
will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the
reference value.

To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value
against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger
than the actual TSC value.

I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than
the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast
clocksource unusable without a real good reason.

  cpu family      : 15
  model           : 6
  model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz

the watchdog's ->setup() method is safe anyway, so if the CPU
cannot support it we'll bail out safely.

4ba51fd75c x86 ptrace: avoid unnecessary wrmsr
This avoids using wrmsr on MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR when it's not needed.
No wrmsr ever needs to be done if noone has ever used block stepping.

Without this change, using ptrace on 2.6.25 on an x86 KVM guest
will tickle KVM's missing support for the MSR and crash the guest
kernel.  Though host KVM is the buggy one, this makes for a regression
in the guest behavior from 2.6.24->2.6.25 that we can easily avoid.

I also corrected some bad whitespace.

629c8b4cdb vmcoreinfo: add the symbol "phys_base"
Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine.

This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data.  The
vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.

On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following:

 # makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
 The kernel version is not supported.
 The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
 _exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.

 makedumpfile Failed.
 #

The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
x86_64 kernel as non relocatable.  As the result, makedumpfile
misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.

To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a
vmcoreinfo data.
