When the through-8259A mode is used for the timer, the call to
set_irq_handler() will register a NULL handler name, resulting in
"IO-APIC-<NULL>" reported. Fix by calling ioapic_register_intr() as done
for all the other I/O APIC interrupts.
The 64-bit variation calls set_irq_chip_and_handler_name() here
needlessly and should get fixed with the upcoming merge.

The local APIC interrupt handler gets registered with
set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), which results in
"local-APIC-edge-fasteoi" reported as the name of the handler. Fix by
removing the type of the handler left over from before the generic
handlers were introduced.
The 64-bit variation should get fixed with the upcoming merge.
NB It should really use the "edge" handler and not the "fasteoi" one,
but that's a separate issue.

The code that used to be in do_slow_gettimeoffset() that relied on the
IRR bit of the master 8259A PIC for IRQ0 to check the state of the output
timer 0 of the PIT is no longer there. As a result, there is no need to
use the POLL command to acknowledge the timer interrupt in the "8259A
Virtual Wire", except for the NMI watchdog when the i82489DX APIC is used
(this is because this particular APIC treats NMIs as level-triggered and
keeping the input asserted would keep motherboard NMI sources held off for
too long). Remove the unneeded bits and adjust comments accordingly.

resume causes 32-bit Intel Mac machines to reboot very early when

The EFI code appears to manage low mappings for itself when needed; but
like many before it, confuses PSE with PAE. So it has only been mapping
half the space it needed when PSE but not PAE. This remained unnoticed
until we moved the SMP zap_low_mappings() before

Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121413950227884&w=4
In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling
__raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when
calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's
not right.
By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit.
Consider below call chain:
_cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu.
So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if
boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later
on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to
report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from
cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL.
Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to
change it.
Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in
cpu_possible_map.

Booting 2.6.26-rc6 on my 486 DX/4 fails with a "BUG: Int 6"
(invalid opcode) and a kernel halt immediately after the
kernel has been uncompressed. The BUG shows EIP pointing
to an rdtsc instruction in native_read_tsc(), invoked from
native_sched_clock().
(This error occurs so early that not even the serial console
can capture it.)
A bisection showed that this bug first occurs in 2.6.26-rc3-git7,
via commit 9ccc906c97:
>x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable

>tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from

>Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
The core reason for this bug is that native_sched_clock() gets
called before tsc_init().
Before the commit above, tsc_32.c used a "tsc_enabled" variable
which defaulted to 0 == disabled, and which only got enabled late
in tsc_init(). Thus early calls to native_sched_clock() would skip
the TSC and use jiffies instead.
After the commit above, tsc_32.c uses a "tsc_disabled" variable
which defaults to 0, meaning that the TSC is Ok to use. Early calls
to native_sched_clock() now erroneously try to use the TSC on
!cpu_has_tsc processors, leading to invalid opcode exceptions.
My proposed fix is to initialise tsc_disabled to a "soft disabled"
state distinct from the hard disabled state set up by the "notsc"
kernel option. This fixes the native_sched_clock() problem. It also
allows tsc_init() to be simplified: instead of setting tsc_disabled = 1
on every error return, we just set tsc_disabled = 0 once when all
checks have succeeded.
I've verified that this lets my 486 boot again. I've also verified
that a Core2 machine still uses the TSC as clocksource after the patch.

Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not
allocated or freed.
Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization
which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation
patch.
New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point.
flush_thread() {
...
/*
* Forget coprocessor state..
*/
clear_fpu(tsk);
<----- Preemption point
clear_used_math();
...
}
Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set
and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets
the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point
it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate().
Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is
null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will
trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops.
Fix this by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me. It

past, and now it have regressed.
The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from. Too bad,
lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
this is the case. Yep, seems like it.

Currently arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c always adds __GFP_NORETRY
to the allocation flags, because it wants to be reasonably
sure not to deadlock when calling alloc_pages().
But really that should only be done in two cases:
- when allocating memory in the lower 16 MB DMA zone.
If there's no free memory there, waiting or OOM killing is of no use
- when optimistically trying an allocation in the DMA32 zone
when dma_mask < DMA_32BIT_MASK hoping that the allocation
happens to fall within the limits of the dma_mask
Also blindly adding __GFP_NORETRY to the the gfp variable might
not be a good idea since we then also use it when calling
dma_ops->alloc_coherent(). Clearing it might also not be a
good idea, dma_alloc_coherent()'s caller might have set it
on purpose. The gfp variable should not be clobbered.

Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT,
and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc2076, "i386: add sleazy FPU
optimization".
Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore()
which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents
making a blocking call in __switch_to().
Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling
and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible.
It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario:
process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math()
Got an interrupt and pre-empted out.
At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore
the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math()
This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore()
And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored
(save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining
part of the signal handling after the context switch.

Fix the math emulation that got broken with the recent lazy allocation of FPU
area. init_fpu() need to be added for the math-emulation path aswell
for the FPU area allocation.
math emulation enabled kernel booted fine with this, in the presence
of "no387 nofxsr" boot param.

Okay, so how about this then ?

When the TSC calibration fails then TSC is still used in
sched_clock(). Disable it completely in that case.

tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from
the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace
tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock()
decision when to use TSC understandable.
Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit.

When the TSC is calibrated against the PIT due to the nonavailability
of PMTIMER/HPET or due to SMI interference then the setup of the per
CPU cyc2ns variables is skipped. This is unlikely to happen but it
would definitely render sched_clock() unusable.
This was introduced with commit 53d517cdba

The most common error with powernow-k8 is an ACPI _PSS error
caused either by failure to load the ACPI processor module
or a bad parse of the _PSS object. Make the error message
returned to the user in these situations more straightforward
and easier to understand.
