Jesper Juhl reported that testing the software math-emulation by forcing
"no387" doesn't work on modern CPU's.
The reason was two-fold:
- you also need to pass in "nofxsr" to make sure that we not only don't
touch the old i387 legacy hardware, it also needs to disable the
modern XMM/FXSR sequences
- "nofxsr" didn't actually clear the capability bits immediately,
leaving the early boot sequence still using FXSR until we got to
the identify_cpu() stage.
This fixes the "nofxsr" flag to take effect immediately on the boot CPU.

This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using
_syscall3() to implement execve.
The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the
unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these
architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386.
Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or
by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do
it for now.

This is a the first of a series of patch-sets aiming at making kdump more
robust against stack overflows.
This patch set does the following:
* Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was
inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name).
* Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe
"safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel.
This patch:
On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the
bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should
be avoided.
In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id
ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides
at the bottom of the stack. x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by
this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure.
To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()"
(it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement
for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel. This is a
possible implementation for i386.

With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.
This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information
provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago
and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid
static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid)
{
return logical_apicid >> 5;
}
is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid
matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped
out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its
bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa.
The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT
table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use
this information to create a table for use at run time.

This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output
file.
To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to
start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly
create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them
appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous
section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S.
This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for
other architectures will be as simple.
This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros
for actually creating ELF notes.

Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa
system. Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory
by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating
space for the kva). The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into
this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside
max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable
memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :(
My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the
bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low
memory). Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse
addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be
mapped below the initrd if present.
I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa
based systems.

Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses
happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early
device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable
this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early
accesses which are always type1.
This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter.

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.
This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.
For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.
It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.
This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16

This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section,
since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry,
that must be marked unsafe as well.
This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous"
for kprobes section.
AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert
AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in.
+From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to
do a .previous at the end of the function.
Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for
example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code
into .fixup. Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with
the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup). It's
surprising this didn't cause more havok.
The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests
properly. A further cleanup would be to get rid of all
.section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile.
+From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>
Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to
entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well.
The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry
point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same
section.
Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes
sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.
This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:
1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/
2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone
actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
early_param().

For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.
x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.
I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.
The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time. The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow
The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable
I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.
