The current tsc_init() clears the TSC feature bit if the TSC khz
cannot be calculated, causing us to panic in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c check_config(). We should simply mark it
unstable.
Frankly, someone should take an axe to this code. mark_tsc_unstable()
not only marks it unstable, but sets tsc_enabled to 0, which seems
redundant but is actually important here because means it won't be
used by sched_clock() either. Perhaps a tristate enum "UNUSABLE,
UNSTABLE, OK" would be clearer, and separate mark_tsc_unstable() and
mark_tsc_broken() functions?

This patch is an add-on to the 64-bit ebda patch. It makes
the functions reserve_ebda_region (renamed from reserve_ebda)
and copy_e820_map equal to the 32-bit versions of the previous
patch.
Changes:
Use u64 and u32 for local variables in copy_e820_map.
The amount of conventional memory and the start of the EBDA are
detected by reading the BIOS data area directly. Paravirtual
environments do not provide this area, so we bail out early
in that case. They will just have to set up a correct memory

fix code to access CMOS rtc registers so that it does not use inb_p and
outb_p routines, which are deprecated. Extensive research on all known
CMOS RTC chipset timing shows that there is no need for a delay in
accessing the registers of these chips even on old machines. These chipa
are never on an expansion bus, but have always been "motherboard"
resources, either in the processor chipset or explicitly on the
motherboard, and they are not part of the ISA/LPC or PCI buses, so
delays should not be based on bus timing. The reason to fix it:
1) port 80 writes often hang some laptops that use ENE EC chipsets,
esp. those designed and manufactured by Quanta for HP;
2) RTC accesses are timing sensitive, and extra microseconds may matter;
3) the new "io_delay" function is calibrated by expansion bus timing needs,
thus is not appropriate for access to CMOS rtc registers.

Replace the hardcoded list of initialization functions for each CPU
vendor by a list in an ELF section, which is read at initialization in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu.c to fill the cpu_devs[] array. The ELF
section, named .x86cpuvendor.init, is reclaimed after boot, and
contains entries of type "struct cpu_vendor_dev" which associates a
vendor number with a pointer to a "struct cpu_dev" structure.
This first modification allows to remove all the VENDOR_init_cpu()
functions.
This patch also removes the hardcoded calls to early_init_amd() and
early_init_intel(). Instead, we add a "c_early_init" member to the
cpu_dev structure, which is then called if not NULL by the generic CPU
initialization code. Unfortunately, in early_cpu_detect(), this_cpu is
not yet set, so we have to use the cpu_devs[] array directly.
This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is needed for
further patch that will allow to disable compilation of unused CPU
support code.

If the vDSO was not mapped, don't use it as the "restorer" for a signal
handler. Whether we have a pointer in mm->context.vdso depends on what
happened at exec time, so we shouldn't check any global flags now.
Background:
Currently, every 32-bit exec gets the vDSO mapped even if it's disabled
(the process just doesn't get told about it). Because it's in fact
always there, the bug that this patch fixes cannot happen now. With
the second patch, it won't be mapped at all when it's disabled, which is
one of the things that people might really want when they disable it (so
nothing they didn't ask for goes into their address space).
The 32-bit signal handler setup when SA_RESTORER is not used refers to
current->mm->context.vdso without regard to whether the vDSO has been
disabled when the process was exec'd. This patch fixes this not to use
it when it's null, which becomes possible after the second patch. (This
never happens in normal use, because glibc's sigaction call uses
SA_RESTORER unless glibc detected the vDSO.)

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.
Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on
certain laptops.
Earlier commit 40d6a14662 added
smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless
idle. Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be
over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle
handler).
Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy
smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler
and start using the new idle handler. It eliminates code in the idle
loop to handle cpu_idle_wait.

We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there
is a subtle bug which has been in the code for ever. This can cause
time jumps in the range of hours.
This was reported in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96
and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23
I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a
dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized
TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the
kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still
there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed
with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this
with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this
might be observable with the syscall based version as well.
CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and
CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right
after the seqlock was unlocked.
The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and
the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference
data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned
subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm
can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like
pm timer.
The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which
is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1
will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the
reference value.
To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value
against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger
than the actual TSC value.
I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than
the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast
clocksource unusable without a real good reason.

will tickle KVM's missing support for the MSR and crash the guest
kernel. Though host KVM is the buggy one, this makes for a regression
in the guest behavior from 2.6.24->2.6.25 that we can easily avoid.
I also corrected some bad whitespace.

Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine.
This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The
vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following:
# makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
_exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.
makedumpfile Failed.
#
The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile
misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.
To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a
vmcoreinfo data.

x86: reserve dma32 early for gart
The patch has a dependency on bootmem modifications which are not .25
material that late in the -rc cycle. The problem which is addressed by
the patch is limited to machines with 256G and more memory booted with
NUMA disabled. This is not a .25 regression and the audience which is
affected by this problem is very limited, so it's safer to do the

The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.
This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.
For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
signedness there.
The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64. This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.
This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix". This didn't
matter until that was fixed.
The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly. It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.
This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension. Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway. So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

Notice how the TSC cap bit goes from Off to On.
(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported
to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after
the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.)
Here's how the breakage occurs:
1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc,
so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC).
2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears
the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps
3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps
in with cleared_cpu_caps
HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC
Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly
sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results.
The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the
bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here.
A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following
patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again.

based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps
misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review
of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is
fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons:
1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs
2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread
3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in
exactly the same problem as in #2
4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then
the syscall is not patched out
as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching.
The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching.

#define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (40*1024*1024)
which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:
text data bss dec hex filename
29703744 4222751 8646224 42572719 2899baf vmlinux
40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/
So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)
So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)
We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
pointless and arbitrary.

We have been promoting Transmeta TM3x00/TM5x00 chips to i686-class
based on the notion that they contain all the user-space visible
features of an i686-class chip. However, this is not actually true:
they lack the EA-taking long NOPs (0F 1F /0). Since this is a
userspace-visible incompatibility, downgrade these CPUs to the
manufacturer-defined i586 level.

Remove redundant irq_desc[NR_IRQS] element initialization in
init_ISA_irqs(). irq_desc[NR_IRQS] is already statically
initialized with the same values in kernel/irq/handle.c .
besides the clean-up value this also saves some space:
text data bss dec hex filename

Though we use PDA for regular task stack but that
is not acceptable for init_task wich is special
one. We still have to allocate init_task's stack
in that manner.

It's much better to use PAGE_SIZE then magic 4096
(though it's almost synonym in most cases on x86 but
not for *all* cases ;)

initial_code are initially used to hold a function pointer
from __init and later from __cpuinit. This confuses modpost
and changing initial_code to REFDATA silence the warning.
(But now we do not discard the variable anymore).
