x86 32 bit already has this feature: This patch uses the stack frames with
frame pointer into an exact stack trace, by following the frame pointer.
This only affects kernels built with the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER config option
enabled, and greatly reduces the amount of noise in oopses.
This code uses the traditional method of doing backtraces, but if it
finds a valid frame pointer chain, will use that to show which parts
of the backtrace are reliable and which parts are not
Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to
be well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

This patch turns the x86 64 bit HANDLE_STACK macro in the backtrace code
into a function, just like 32 bit has. This is needed pre work in order to
get exact backtraces for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to work.
The function and it's arguments are not the same as 32 bit; due to the
exception/interrupt stack way of x86-64 there are a few differences.
This patch should not have any behavior changes, only code movement.

Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but
only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile
the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace
functions on the stack with bp based backtracing).
This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer;
sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack,
but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.

The 32 bit Frame Pointer backtracer code checks if the EBP is valid
to do a backtrace; however currently on a failure it just gives up
and prints nothing. That's not very nice; we can do better and still
print a decent backtrace.
This patch changes the backtracer to use the regular backtracing algorithm
at the same time as the EBP backtracer; the EBP backtracer is basically
used to figure out which part of the backtrace are reliable vs those
which are likely to be noise.

The current x86 32 bit FRAME_POINTER chasing code has a nasty bug in
that the EBP tracer doesn't actually update the value of EBP it is
tracing, so that the code doesn't actually switch to the irq stack
properly.
The result is a truncated backtrace:

On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message.
Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device
names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda)
There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems
with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too.
This patch is adds an informational message on early boot.
CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m)
so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays.
I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen
more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking
cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end-
user to find out, what`s the issue.
For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset.
This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

On 32-bit NUMA, the memmap representing struct pages on each node is
allocated from node-local memory if possible. As only node-0 has memory from
ZONE_NORMAL, the memmap must be mapped into low memory. This is done by
reserving space in the Kernel Virtual Area (KVA) for the memmap belonging
to other nodes by taking pages from the end of ZONE_NORMAL and remapping
the other nodes memmap into those virtual addresses. The node boundaries
are then adjusted so that the region of pages is not used and it is marked
as reserved in the bootmem allocator.
This reserved portion of the KVA is PMD aligned althought
strictly speaking that requirement could be lifted (see thread at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/24/220). The problem is that when aligned, there
may be a portion of ZONE_NORMAL at the end that is not used for memmap and
does not have an initialised memmap nor is it marked reserved in the bootmem
allocator. Later in the boot process, these pages are freed and a storm of
Bad page state messages result.
This patch marks these pages reserved that are wasted due to alignment
in the bootmem allocator so they are not accidently freed. It is worth
noting that memory from node-0 is wasted where it could have been put into
ZONE_HIGHMEM on NUMA machines. Worse, the KVA is always reserved from the
location of real memory even when there is plenty of spare virtual address
space.
This patch also makes sure that reserve_bootmem() is not called with a
0-length size in numa_kva_reserve(). When this happens, it usually means
that a kernel built for Summit is being booted on a normal machine. The
resulting BUG_ON() is misleading so it is caught here.

The boot protocol has until now required that the initrd be located in
lowmem, which makes the lowmem/highmem boundary visible to the boot
loader. This was exported to the bootloader via a compile-time
field. Unfortunately, the vmalloc= command-line option breaks this
part of the protocol; instead of adding yet another hack that affects
the bootloader, have the kernel relocate the initrd down below the
lowmem boundary inside the kernel itself.
Note that this does not rely on HIGHMEM being enabled in the kernel.

This is because arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S forces a .text alignment

arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S uses a 16 bytes alignment *only*)
So arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o also has this alignment

But as arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.o is not the first object linked
into arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o, linker had to build several holes to meet
alignement requirements, because of .o nestings in the kbuild process.
This can be solved by using a special section, .text.page_aligned, so that
no holes are needed.
