560c06ae1a [CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkey
Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.

This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.

Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm.  The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

b9f535ffe3 [CRYPTO] twofish: i586 assembly version
The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests.
This rewrite resulted in some nice perfomance increase over my last patch.

Short summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:

Twofish Assembler vs. Twofish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -33% Cycles
decrypt: -45% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: +3%  Cycles
decrypt: -22% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -20% Cycles
decrypt: -36% Cycles

http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~fritschi/twofish/tcrypt-speed-aes-asm-i586.txt


Here is another bonnie++ benchmark with encrypted filesystems. All runs with
the twofish assembler modules max out the drivespeed. It should give some
idea what the module can do for encrypted filesystem performance even though
you can't see the full numbers.

79e453d49b Revert mmiocfg heuristics and blacklist changes
This reverts commits 11012d419c and
40dd2d20f2, which allowed us to use the
MMIO accesses for PCI config cycles even without the area being marked
reserved in the e820 memory tables.

Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some
newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old
2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage.

Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken
Intel 965 boards, which will be applied once they get wider testing.

max U is second pos. All pos between these two are used.
Assume that min U is for min f and max U for max f. For frequency

current frequency and min f.

30f3174d1c [PATCH] Fix faulty HPET clocksource usage (fix for bug #7062)
Apparently some systems export valid HPET addresses, but hpet_enable()
fails.  Then when the HPET clocksource starts up, it only checks for a
valid HPET address, and the result is a system where time does not advance.

This patch just makes sure we better check that the HPET is functional

ea424055b7 [PATCH] x86: Make backtracer fallback logic more bullet-proof
The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to
the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once
serving as a separator) of this.

Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as
restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack
tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but
this could certainly be further improved.

Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

11012d419c [PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristics
The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally
added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also
breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need
a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work.

After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again.
It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much
problems there because old style port access for PCI config space
still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use
pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more
important.

Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

954c0b7cd5 [PATCH] PCI: use PCBIOS as last fallback
there was a change in 2.6.17 which affected the order in which the PCI
access methods are probed.  this gives regressions on some machines with
broken BIOS.  the problem is that PCBIOS sometimes reports last bus wrong,
leaving cardbus non-funcational.  previously those system worked fine with
direct access.

The patch changes the PCI init code to have PCBIOS as last fallback, yet
the PCBIOS code still has to run first to set pcibios_last_bus to the value
reported by the BIOS.  this is needed in case legacy PCI probing
(arch/i386/pci/legacy.c) is used to detect peer busses.  using direct
access if available fixes the cardbus problems.

A BIOS has been found that resumes from S3 to the routine that invoked suspend,
ignoring the resume vector.  This appears to the OS as a failed S3 attempt.

This same system suspend/resume's properly with Windows.

It is possible to invoke the protected mode register restore routine (which
would normally restore the sysenter registers) when the BIOS returns from
S3.  This has no effect on a correctly running system and repairs the
damage from the deviant BIOS.

ACPI C3 works for "Powersaver" processors, so use it only for them.

Older CPU will change frequency on "halt" only. But we can protect transition
in two ways:
- by ACPI PM2 register, there is "bus master arbiter disable" bit.
  This isn't tested because VIA mainboards don't have PM2 register,
- by PLE133 PCI/AGP arbiter disable register.
  There are two bits in this register. First is "PCI arbiter disable",
  second "AGP arbiter disable". This is working on VIA Epia 800 mainboards.

Test on bm_control is more proper because this is true
when PM2 register exist.

48b7bde0f6 [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Workaround issues with APIC.
There is no need to worry about local APIC.
There is need to worry about I/O APIC, because I/O APIC
is replacing good old 8259. According to Nehemiah datasheet VIA is
using 3-wire bus to connect local APIC to I/O APIC.

"[...] When IA32_APIC_BASE[11] is set to 0, processor APICs based on the 3-wire APIC
 bus cannot be generally re-enabled until a system hardware reset. The 3-wire bus
 looses track of arbitration that would be necessary for complete re-enabling. Certain
 (local) APIC functionality can be enabled. [...]"

So we must set disable bit for each interrupt in I/O APIC registers.
Same situation as for PIC - we must poke registers direcly.
How to do this? I don't know. So at the moment it is better to fail.

0b0bf7a3cc [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

cea6a4ba8a [PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()
This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
all architectures that implement it.

It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
all.

This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
accordinly.  I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
too long, feedback welcome.

For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.

Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
already not present.

1e86240f3f [PATCH] IDE: Touch NMI watchdog during resume from STR
When resuming from suspend-to-RAM, the NMI watchdog detects a lockup in
ide_wait_not_busy.  Here's a screenshot of the trace taken by a digital
camera: http://www.uamt.feec.vutbr.cz/rizeni/pom/DSC03510-2.JPG

Let's touch the NMI watchdog in ide_wait_not_busy.  The system then resumes
correctly from STR.

c39df470e0 [PATCH] kprobe-booster: disable in preemptible kernel
The kprobe-booster's safety check against preemption does not work well
now, because the preemption count has been modified by read_rcu_lock() in
atomic_notifier_call_chain() before we check it.  So, I'd like to prevent
boosting kprobe temporarily if the kernel is preemptable.

Now we are searching for the good solution.
