3b3d5e1db6 [PATCH] i386: romsignature/checksum cleanup
Use adding __init to romsignature() (it's only called from probe_roms()
which is itself __init) as an excuse to submit a pedantic cleanup.

f9690982b8 [PATCH] i386: improve sched_clock() on i686
Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls
back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or
the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz.

This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all
hardware.  (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous
sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy
of jitter.)

Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the
desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously
this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed.  This makes
the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly
flag.

2ff2d3d747 [PATCH] i386: add idle notifier
Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop.  You can register a
callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle
loop.  The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call,
or the mwait instruction.  Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not
considered part of the low level loop.

The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless
execution (or low power mode).  The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off
monitoring.

7b35520243 [PATCH] i386: Profile pc badness
Profile_pc was broken when using paravirtualization because the
assumption the kernel was running at CPL 0 was violated, causing
bad logic to read a random value off the stack.

The only way to be in kernel lock functions is to be in kernel
code, so validate that assumption explicitly by checking the CS
value.  We don't want to be fooled by BIOS / APM segments and
try to read those stacks, so only match KERNEL_CS.

I moved some stuff in segment.h to make it prettier.

bbab4f3bb7 [PATCH] i386: vMI timer patches
VMI timer code.  It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code.  The backend
timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
hypervisors as well.  So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

Add VMI SMP boot hook.  We emulate a regular boot sequence and use the same
APIC IPI initiation, we just poke magic values to load into the CPU state when
the startup IPI is received, rather than having to jump through a real mode
trampoline.

This is all that was needed to get SMP to work.

9226d125d9 [PATCH] i386: paravirt CPU hypercall batching mode
The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched.  This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions.  This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.

To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
 Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active.  Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.

c119ecce89 [PATCH] MM: page allocation hooks for VMI backend
The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page
tables.  The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky.  We need to
clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to
correctly copy the shadow.

We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as
they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which
makes shadowing them rather simple.

For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook
point we need.  Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page,
and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool.

Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also
uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or
released.

Current mmconfig has some problems of remapped range.

a) In the case of broken MCFG tables on Asus etc., we need to remap 256M

b) The base address always corresponds to bus number 0, but currently we
   are assuming it corresponds to start bus number.

(akpm: Arjan suggests that if the MCFG table is broken we just shouldn't use
it, rather than try to work around things).

464d1a78fb [PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fs
Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data.  This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).

On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.

This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

- Removed an extraneous debug message from allocate_cachealigned_map

- Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to return 63 for the case where there was

- Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to use only the starting memory address of
  a node.  On an ES7000, our nodes overlap the starting and ending address,
  meaning, that we see nodes like

	00000 - 10000
	10000 - 20000

  But other systems have nodes whose start and end addresses do not overlap.
   For example:

	00000 - 0FFFF
	10000 - 1FFFF

  In this case, using the ending address will result in an LSB much lower
  than what is possible.  In this case an LSB of 1 when in reality it should
  be 16.

754661f143 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

fbdb3e5be3 [PATCH] ps3: Preallocate bootmem memory for ps3fb
Preallocate bootmem memory for the PS3 frame buffer device, which needs a
large block of physically-contiguous memory. The size of this memory block is
configurable:
  - The config option CONFIG_FB_PS3_DEFAULT_SIZE_M allows to specify the
    default amount of memory (in MiB) allocated to the virtual frame buffer.
  - The early boot parameter `ps3fb=xxx' allows to override the default value.
    It will be rounded up to a multiple of 1 MiB, if needed.
