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.

I found it strange that the struct sk_buff definition was found
inside the DWARF debugging sections in the generated object, so I verified
and found that there is no need for the files that bring struct sk_buff
definition into this file and verified also that sk_buff is not brought
in indirectly too, thru other headers.
I went on and removed many other unneeded includes and the end
result is:

The AMD Fam10h CPUs support new Gigabyte page table entry for

Only done for 64bit because i386 does not support GB page tables.
This only applies to the data portion of the direct mapping; the
kernel text mapping stays with 2MB pages because the AMD Fam10h
microarchitecture does not support GB ITLBs and AMD recommends
against using GB mappings for code.

We map a VMA for the 32-bit vDSO even when it's disabled, which is stupid.
For the 32-bit kernel it's the vdso_enabled boot parameter/sysctl
and for the 64-bit kernel it's the vdso32 boot parameter/syscall32 sysctl.
When it's disabled, we don't pass AT_SYSINFO_EHDR so processes don't use
the vDSO for anything, but we still map it. For the non-compat vDSO,
this means we're always putting an extra VMA somewhere, maybe lousing
up the control of the address space the user was hoping for.
Honor the setting by doing nothing in arch_setup_additional_pages.

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.)

x86-64: introduce struct pci_sysdata to facilitate sharing of ->sysdata
This patch introduces struct pci_sysdata to x86 and x86-64, and
converts the existing two users (NUMA, Calgary) to use it.
This lays the groundwork for having other users of sysdata, such as
the PCI domains work.
The Calgary bits are tested, the NUMA bits just look ok.
replaces pcibios_scan_root by pci_scan_bus_parented...
but in pcibios_scan_root we have a check about scanned busses.

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.

This patch also resolves hangs on boot:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/263http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10093
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.

gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type.
The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs
in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when
the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when
executing this code.
This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the
original section.
