52292c9b8c [PATCH] ppc64: fix gcc 4.0 vs CONFIG_ALTIVEC
gcc-4.0 generates altivec code implicitly when -mcpu indicates an
altivec capable CPU which is not suitable for the kernel.  However, we
used to set -mcpu=970 when CONFIG_ALTIVEC was set because a gcc-3.x bug
prevented from using -maltivec along with -mcpu=power4, thus prevented
building the RAID6 altivec code.

This patch fixes all of this by testing for the gcc version.  If 4.0 or
later, just normally use -mcpu=power4 and let the RAID6 code add
-maltivec to the few files it needs to be compiled with altivec support.
For 3.x, we still use -mcpu=970 to work around the above problem, which
is fine as 3.x will never implicitly generate altivec code.

The Makefile hackery may not be the most lovely, I welcome anybody more
skilled than me to improve it.

e521dca64e [PATCH] ppc32: Fix might_sleep() warning with clock spreading
The clock spreading disable/enable code was called to late/early during
the suspend/resume code on some laptops and would trigger a
might_sleep() warning due to the down() call in the low level i2c code.

This fixes it by calling those functions earlier/later when interrupts
are still enabled.

A typo in the machine table incorrectly mark the 101 PowerBook as
needing explicit callback from the video driver to enable sleep mode. I
did not implement that mecanism for chipsest older than r128, so we need
to mark this machine as always beeing able to sleep for now.

15fd56867b [PATCH] ppc32: Workaround a cache flush issue on sleep
We are experiencing a problem when flushing the CPU caches before sleep
on some laptop models using the 750FX CPU rev 1.X. While I haven't been
able to figure out a proper explanation for what's going on, I do have a
workaround that seem to work reliably and allows those machine to sleep
and wakeup properly again.

I'll re-update that code if/when I ever find exactly what is happening
with those CPU revisions.

e49332bd12 [PATCH] misc verify_area cleanups
There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
access_ok - deprecate those.

There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
code, fix those up to use access_ok.

After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
or two.

c9e3735359 [PATCH] s390: fix memory holes and cleanup setup_arch
The memory setup didn't take care of memory holes and this makes the memory
management think there would be more memory available than there is in
reality.  That causes the OOM killer to kill processes even if there is enough
memory left that can be written to the swap space.

The patch fixes this by using free_area_init_node with an array of memory
holes instead of free_area_init.  Further the patch cleans up the code in
setup.c by splitting setup_arch into smaller pieces.

but I'll avoid that since I'm not so sure the change works so well.  I gave it

Reuse asm-x86-64/unistd.h to build our syscall table, like x86-64 already

Note: I noted a bogus:
	[ __NR_sched_yield ] = (syscall_handler_t *) yield,

but I would ignore this possibility).  I'm changing this without notice.

Fix the moved syscall table for the x86_64 SUBARCH:

- redirect __NR_chown and such to versions aware of 32-bit UIDs,

- avoid the useless hack for sys_nfsservctl,

- use sys_sendfile64 in the table rather than sys_sendfile.

- __NR_uselib is sys_ni_syscall on x86_64 (which does not support A.OUT).

- __NR_getrlimit is sys_getrlimit, not sys_old_getrlimit

included in the previous one (so actually there is no difference between them)

syscall table changes (which is inherently error-prone).

We must only insert the right #defines to inject the changes we need from the
i386 syscall table (for instance some different function names); also, we
don't implement some i386 syscalls, as ioperm(), nor some TLS-related ones
(yet to provide).

ad6714230f [PATCH] Linux 2.6.x VM86 interrupt emulation fixes
Patch solves VM86 interrupt emulation deadlock on SMP systems.  The VM86
interrupt emulation has been heavily tested and works well on UP systems
after last update, but it seems to deadlock when we have used it on SMP/HT
boxes now.

It seems, that disable_irq() cannot be called from interrupts, because it
waits until disabled interrupt handler finishes
(/kernel/irq/manage.c:synchronize_irq():while(IRQ_INPROGRESS);).  This
blocks one CPU after another.  Solved by use disable_irq_nosync.

There is the second problem.  If IRQ source is fast, it is possible, that
interrupt is sometimes processed and re-enabled by the second CPU, before
it is disabled by the first one, but negative IRQ disable depths are not
allowed.  The spinlocking and disabling IRQs over call to
disable_irq_nosync/enable_irq is the only solution found reliable till now.

f9ba70535d [PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128
The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
the number of e820 entries.  But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
reaching close to 32.  Patch below bumps the number upto 128.

The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
on bootloader-setup code interface.

Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.

Tested on:
* grub booting bzImage
* lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
* pxeboot of bzImage

Side-effect:
bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

35492df5ae [PATCH] i386: fix hpet for systems that don't support legacy replacement
Currently the i386 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from
the spec is present.  This breaks on boxes that do not implement the
optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec.

This patch, which is very similar to my x86-64 patch for the same issue,
fixes the problem allowing i386 systems that cannot use the HPET for the
timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source.  I've
tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without
legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement.

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.

fd51f666fa [PATCH] i386/x86_64 segment register access update
The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving
between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e.,

        movl (%eax),%ds
        movl %ds,(%eax)

To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a
16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66,

        mov (%eax),%ds
        mov %ds,(%eax)

should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The
assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support

        movw (%eax),%ds
        movw %ds,(%eax)

without the 0x66 prefix. I am enclosing patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels
here. The resulting kernel binaries should be unchanged as before, with
old and new assemblers, if gcc never generates memory access for

               unsigned gsindex;
               asm volatile("movl %%gs,%0" : "=g" (gsindex));

If gcc does generate memory access for the code above, the upper bits
in gsindex are undefined and the new assembler doesn't allow it.

d03853d566 [PATCH] PPC64: Remove hot busy-wait loop in __hash_page
It turns out that our current __hash_page code will do a very hot busy-wait
loop waiting on _PAGE_BUSY to be cleared.  It even does ldarx/stdcx in the
loop, which will bounce reservations around like crazy if there's more than
one CPU spinning on the same PTE (or even another PTE in the same
reservation granule).  The end result is that each fault takes longer when
there's contention, which in turn increases the chance of another thread
hitting the same fault and also piling up.  Not pretty.

There's two options here:
1. Do an out-of-line busy loop a'la spinlocks with just loads (no
   reserves)
2. Just bail and refault if needed.

(2) makes sense here: If the PTE is busy, chances are it's in flux anyway
and the other code path making a change might just be ready to hash it.

This fixes a stampede seen on a large-ish system where a multithreaded
HPC app faults in the same text pages on several cpus at the same time.

66faf9845a [PATCH] ppc64: tell firmware about kernel capabilities
On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are
supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about
our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that
describe available memory we are expecting to see.  The way we end up
having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed
for AIX and doesn't suit us very well.  This patch adds the code to supply
this data structure to the firmware.
