f5e8861583 [PATCH] i386: pit_latch_buggy has no effect
Eliminated the arch/i386/kernel/timers in 2.6.18, use clocksoures instead.
pit_latch_buggy was referred in timers/timer_tsc.c, and currently removed.
Therefore nobody refer it.

Until 2.6.17, MediaGX's TSC works correctly.  after 2.6.18, warned "TSC
appears to be running slowly.  Marking it as unstable".  So marked unstable
TSC when CS55x0.

9964cf7d77 [PATCH] x86: consolidate smp_send_stop()
Synchronize i386's smp_send_stop() with x86-64's in only try-locking
the call lock to prevent deadlocks when called from panic().
In both version, disable interrupts before clearing the CPU off the
online map to eliminate races with IRQ handlers inspecting this map.
Also in both versions, save/restore interrupts rather than disabling/
enabling them.
On x86-64, eliminate one function used here by folding it into its
single caller, convert to static, and rename for consistency with i386
(lkcd may like this).

28609f6e49 [PATCH] i386: adjustments to page table dump during oops (v4)
- make the page table contents printing PAE capable
- make sure the address stored in current->thread.cr2 is unmodified
  from what was read from CR2
- don't call oops_may_print() multiple times, when one time suffices
- print pte even in highpte case, as long as the pte page isn't in
  actually in high memory (which is specifically the case for all page
  tables covering kernel space)

(Changes to v3: Use sizeof()*2 rather than the suggested sizeof()*4 for
printing width, use fixed 16-nibble width for PAE, and also apply the
max_low_pfn range check to the middle level lookup on PAE.)

8cdfb29c0c libata/IDE: remove combined mode quirk
Both old-IDE and libata should be able handle all controllers and
devices found using normal resource reservation methods.

This eliminates the awful, low-performing split-driver configuration
where old-IDE drove the PATA portion of a PCI device, in PIO-only mode,
and libata drove the SATA portion of the /same/ PCI device, in DMA mode.
Typically vendors would ship SATA hard drive / PATA optical
configuration, which would lend itself to slow (PIO-only) CD-ROM
performance.

For Intel users running in combined mode, it is now wholly dependent on
your driver choice (potentially link order, if you compile both drivers
in) whether old-IDE or libata will drive your hardware.

In either case, you will get full performance from both SATA and PATA
ports now, without having to pass a kernel command line parameter.

b2983f10f8 ACPI: prevent ACPI quirk warning mass spamming in logs
The following patch prevent this warning to be displayed again & again (eg:
nine times on my NForce2 motherboard) and thus improve signal to noise
ratio in logs.

The ATI quirk below probably needs a similar "fix" but I don't have
the hardware to test.

Btw arch/x86_64/kernel/early-quirks.c::nvidia_bugs() would probably need to
be synced (but I don't have an x86_64 NVidia motherboard to boot test it).
Still it shows the usefullity of the recent x86 merge thread.

9ce883becb [PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement option
noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.

Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.

Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it.

49f1971051 [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed.  The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.

Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix.

This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed
differently.

b6a8b316c6 [PATCH] i386: fix file_read_actor() and pipe_read() for original i386 systems
The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read()
are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as
__copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might
sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic()
region.

The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved
during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap.

Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic
region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and
pipe_read() are taken.

This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for
WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive
and can be done later.

1d64b9cb1d [PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problem
Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code
ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode
driver to hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in
its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and
hangs.  It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the
microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it
from disk.

ad62ca2bd8 [PATCH] i386: disable local apic timer via command line or dmi quirk
The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States.  This is handled by
the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment
code.

Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch
into deeper C-States behind the kernels back.  This delays the local apic
timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable.

Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi
quirk for known broken systems.

Andi sayeth:

  While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic
  -- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide
  spread we will just continue extending it.

  But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with
  it.

6b3964cde7 [PATCH] i386: clockevents fix breakage on Geode/Cyrix PIT implementations
The PIT has no dedicated mode for shut down. The only way to disable PIT
is to put it into one shot mode. AMD implementations of PIT on Geode
(also observed on Cyrix) are confused by an "empty" transition from
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN, which puts the PIT
into one shot mode momentarily.

I realized after staring helpless at the bug report
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 for quite a while, that
the only change, which might influence the bogomips calibration, is the
above transition during the PIT initialization.

Avoiding the unnecessary switch to oneshot and later to periodic mode
fixes the weird bogomips value and also the resulting slowness.

The fix is confirmed on OLPC and another Geode based box.

Note: this is unrelated to the Dual Core problem discussed here:

small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the
observed false positives.

We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to
avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10,
which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel
configuration.

The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to
emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard.  This
prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to
calibrate the local APIC timer.  Unfortunately we have no way to disable
this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process.

Add also the dropped cpu_relax() back to the wait loops.

92b35e910f [PATCH] x86: Export _proxy_pda for gcc 4.2
The symbol is not actually used, but the compiler unforunately generates
a (unused) reference to it. This can happen even in modules. So export it.

caused a regression by letting sched_clock use the TSC even when cpufreq
disabled it. This caused scheduling weirdnesses.

VMI ROMs are pretty intimate to the kernel, so enforce their GPLness.

No \0 tricks checking for now

This rules out BSD/MIT modules for now, sorry -- the trouble is those

b6bc5d7149 [PATCH] Fix VMI and COMPAT_VDSO for 2.6.21
VMI is broken under COMPAT_VDSO, as Xen and other non hardware assisted
hypervisors will be.  I have been working on a fix for this which works
for older glibcs that panic when the new relocatable VDSO is used.

However, I believe at this time that the fix is going to be too radical
to consider at this stage in the release of 2.6.21.  We don't expect
this config option to be turned on by vendors for new distributions, so
at this point we are willing to drop support for it when VMI is compiled
in, and work on a patch for 2.6.22 which more fully addresses the
problem.

fe69933652 [PATCH] ACPI: repair nvidia early quirk breakage on x86_64
x86_64 nvidia_bugs() broke when we bailed out on not finding the HPET.
However, the quirk works by checking for _not_ finding the HPET...

Delete the nvidia_hpet_detected flag and simply test for
not finding the HPET, which is simple to do now that
acpi_table_parse returns 1 on failure.

d04f41e353 [PATCH] CPU hotplug: call check_tsc_sync_source() with irqs off
check_tsc_sync_source() depends on being called with irqs disabled (it
checks whether the TSC is coherent across two specific CPUs). This is
incidentally true during bootup, but not during cpu hotplug __cpu_up().
This got found via smp_processor_id() debugging.

disable irqs explicitly and remove the unconditional enabling of
interrupts. Add touch_nmi_watchdog() to the cpu_online_map busy loop.

this bug is present both on i386 and on x86_64.
