eee45269b0 [PATCH] Alpha: convert to generic irq framework (generic part)
Thanks to Christoph for doing most of the work.

This allows automatic SMP IRQ affinity assignment other than default "all
interrupts on all CPUs" which is rather expensive.  This might be useful if
the hardware can be programmed to distribute interrupts among different
CPUs, like Alpha does.

1fa744e6e9 [PATCH] cpu hotplug/x86_64: disable interrupt in play_dead
With physical CPU hotplug, the CPU is hot removed and it should not receive
any interrupts.  Disabling interrupt is much safer.  This basically is what we
do in ia64 & x86.

76865c3f87 [PATCH] i386: ioapic virtual wire mode fix
o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual
  wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting
  timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode.

o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
  to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
  on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.

o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer
  interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero).
  This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a
  non-boot cpu.

bcf0f0d233 [PATCH] fix cpu frequency detection in arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c::recalibrate_cpu_khz()
When we re-calibrate the frequency, it is likely that an interrupt (as for
example the main system clock) will be triggered by the system.  Therefore
the calibration may not be accurate.  This will also provide a fix to bug
#5266.

f8af095d3a [PATCH] x86: change_page_attr() fix
The 'make rodata read-only' patch in -mm exposes a latent bug in the 32-bit
change_page_attr() function, which causes certain CPUs (Those with NX
basically) to reboot instantly after pages are marked read-only.

The same bug got fixed a while back on x86-64, but never got propagated to
i386.

Stuart Hayes from Dell also picked up on this last June, but it never got
fixed, as the only thing affected by it aparently was the nvidia driver.

Blatantly stealing description from his post..

"It doesn't appear to be fixed (in the i386 arch).  The
 change_page_attr()/split_large_page() code will still still set all the
 4K PTEs to PAGE_KERNEL (setting the _PAGE_NX bit) when a large page
 needs to be split.

 This wouldn't be a problem for the bulk of the kernel memory, but there
 are pages in the lower 4MB of memory that's free, and are part of large
 executable pages that also contain kernel code.  If change_page_attr()
 is called on these, it will set the _PAGE_NX bit on the whole 2MB region
 that was covered by the large page, causing a large chunk of kernel code
 to be non-executable."

1855a2c4ce [PATCH] x86: convert bigsmp to use flat physical mode
When we bring up a new CPU via INIT/startup IPI messages, the CPU that's
coming up sends a xTPR message to the chipset.  Intel chipsets (at least)
don't provide any architectural guarantee on what the chipset will do with
this message.  For example, the E850x chipsets uses this xTPR message to
interpret the interrupt operating mode of the platform.  When the CPU
coming online sends this message, it always indicates that it is in logical
flat mode.  For the CPU hotplug case, the platform may already be
functioning in cluster APIC mode at this time, the chipset can get confused
and mishandle I/O device and IPI interrupt routing.

The situation eventually gets corrected when the new CPU sends another xTPR
update when we switch it to cluster mode, but there's a window during which
the chipset may be in an inconsistent state.  This patch avoids this
problem by using the flat physical interrupt delivery mode instead of
cluster mode for bigsmp (>8 cpu) support.

c728252c7a [PATCH] x86/x86_64: mark rodata section read only: generic x86-64 bugfix
Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64:

when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb
pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider
the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms.  This is
fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last
part of the kernel .text!  The fix is to not invent a new permission for the
new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.

5fe9fe3c6f [PATCH] x86: Pnp byte granularity
The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP
BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out.  These parameteres may be passed
from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to
stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size.

Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the
limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity.

When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get
system device node" call:

 mov ax, es:[bx]

Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

3012d2d209 [PATCH] x86: Always relax segments
APM BIOSes have many bugs regarding proper representation of the appropriate
segment limits for calling the BIOS.  By default, APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS is always
turned on to support running the APM BIOS on these buggy machines.  Keeping
64k limits poses very little danger to the kernel, because the pages where the
APM BIOS is located will always be in low physical memory BIOS areas, which
should already be marked reserved, and only buggy BIOSes would possibly
overstep the segment bounds with writes to data anyway.

Since forcing stricter limits breaks many machines and is not default
behavior, it seems reasonable to deprecate the older code which may cause APM
BIOS to fault.

If you really have a badly enough broken APM BIOS that you have to turn off
APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS, seems like the best recourse here would be to disable the
APM BIOS and / or not compile it into your kernel to begin with, and / or add
your system to the known bad list.

The reason I want to deprecate this code is there is underlying brokenness
with the set_limit macros, and getting rid of many of the call sites rather
than rewriting them seems to be the simplest and most correct course of
action.

7c4cb60e5b [PATCH] x86: GDT alignment fix
Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a
hypervisor.  This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot
data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in
VMware.

Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT
(which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is
allocated dynamically.

fef2b580eb [PATCH] frv: improve signal handling
The attached patch improves the signal handling:

 (1) It makes do_signal() static as it isn't called from anywhere outside of
     the arch code.

 (2) It removes the regs argument to all the static functions within that file,
     using __frame instead (which is the same thing held in a global register).

8efc0ab50e [PATCH] frv: fix signal handling
The attached patch makes FRV signal handling work properly:

 (1) After do_notify_resume() has been called, the work flags must be checked
     again (there may be another signal to deliver or the process might require
     rescheduling for instance).

 (2) After the signal frame is set up on the userspace stack, ptrace() should
     be given an opportunity to single-step into the signal handler.

 (3) The error state from setting up a signal frame should be passed back up
     the call chain.

 (4) The segfault handler shouldn't be preemptively reset in the arch if we
     fail to deliver a SEGV signal: force_sig() will take care of that.

7ee1dd3fee [PATCH] FRV: Make futex code compilable on nommu [try #2]
Make the futex code compilable and usable on NOMMU by making the attempt to
handle page faults conditional on CONFIG_MMU.  If this is not enabled, then
we can assume that EFAULT returned from futex_atomic_op_inuser() is not
recoverable, and that the address lies outside of valid memory.

handle_mm_fault() is made to BUG if called on NOMMU without attempting to
invoke the actual handler (__handle_mm_fault).

b0e15190ea [PATCH] NOMMU: Make SYSV IPC SHM use ramfs facilities on NOMMU
The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.

The following changes are made:

 (1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
     allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
     code.

 (2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
     the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
     attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.

 (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

642fb4d1f1 [PATCH] NOMMU: Provide shared-writable mmap support on ramfs
The attached patch makes ramfs support shared-writable mmaps by:

 (1) Attempting to perform a contiguous block allocation to the requested size
     when truncate attempts to increase the file from zero size, such as
     happens when:

	fd = shm_open("/file/on/ramfs", ...):
	ftruncate(fd, size_requested);
	addr = mmap(NULL, subsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED,
		    fd, offset);

 (2) Permitting any shared-writable mapping over any contiguous set of extant
     pages. get_unmapped_area() will return the address into the actual ramfs
     pages. The mapping may start anywhere and be of any size, but may not go
     over the end of file. Multiple mappings may overlap in any way.

 (3) Not permitting a file to be shrunk if it would truncate any shared
     mappings (private mappings are copied).

Thus this patch provides support for POSIX shared memory on NOMMU kernels,
with certain limitations such as there being a large enough block of pages
available to support the allocation and it only working on directly mappable
filesystems.

It still compiles as there's a weak definition of the function in
misc-embedded.c, but the kernel crashes as the bd_t fixup isn't performed.
