set nmi_watchdog to NMI_IO_APIC as by default. This causes hangs on some
machines with buggy watchdogs. Fix it - i.e. restore old behaviour.
Thanks to Sitsofe Wheeler and Adrian Bunk for catching the problem
and Maciej W. Rozycki for explanation what is going on there.

apic_write_around will be expanded to apic_write in 64bit mode

such an action. In general it should not hurt and could be cleaned
up for apic_write (just in case)

It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").
But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.
Also make fs/locks.c use it.

Update 3 more new-style i2c drivers to use standard module aliasing
instead of the old driver_name/type driver matching scheme. These
video drivers aren't used yet so converting them is trivial.
Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
As the old driver_name/type matching scheme is going away soon, change
the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme.
This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose
their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log
messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there
is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.

Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat:
- Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0
specification), not made-up-for-Linux names.
- Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and
point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute
different protocol operations than their names specify.
The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may
seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

We had a report that running sensors-detect on a Sapphire AM2RD790
motherbord killed the CPU. While the exact cause is still unknown,
I'd rather play it safe and prevent any access to the SMBus on that
machine by not letting the i2c-piix4 driver attach to the SMBus host
device on that machine. Also blacklist a similar board made by DFI.

Per the PIIX4 errata, there maybe a delay between setting the
start bit in the Smbus Host Controller Register and the transaction
actually starting. If the driver doesn't delay long enough, it
may appear that the transaction is complete when actually it
hasn't started, this may lead to bus collisions.
While 1 ms appears to be enough for most chips, the ServerWorks CSB5
wants 2 ms.

So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation
which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the
debugger looks at a process about to take a signal. It's meant
to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the
debugger need not be mindful of such things.
Problem is, this doesn't work.
The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so
that the debugger captures that state. Otherwise, if the debugger for
example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something
else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall
restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state.
The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually
passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that
we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have.
In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb
which is being debugged by yet another gdb. gdb uses sigsuspend
to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being
debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop(). The top-level gdb
does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the
signal. But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel
out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return
error was ERESTARTNOHAND.
Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing
a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly:
1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}.
It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully
visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets.
2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart. We have
to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in
case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop().
3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set
that bit in the real register.
As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just
like sparc64 has.
M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the
ptrace_signal_deliver hook. It needs to be fixed in the same exact
way as sparc.

Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally
recognized, regardless of the personality of the process.
Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h
header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH.
So continue to recognize this old value. Luckily, it doesn't conflict
with anything we actually care about.

The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.
The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec261 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.
This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.
As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.
These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:
"tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."
so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

This reverts commit bf726eab37, as it has
been reported to cause a regression with processes stuck in __down(),
apparently because some missing wakeup.
Quoth Sven Wegener:
"I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my
last git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e
"semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue.
Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get
several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o
on the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit
kernel and userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for
the output of sysrq-w."
See
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45
for full report.
In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by
reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead,
since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it
tries to be fair.

It actually makes much more sense there, and we do tend to need it for

other cases that have open-coded the same logic to use the same helper

System topology on intel based system needs to be exported
for non-numa case as well.
All parts of asm-i386/topology.h has come under
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA after the merge to asm-x86/topology.h
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/* is populated based on
ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
The sysfs cpu topology is not being populated on my dual socket
dual core xeon 5160 processor based (x86 32 bit) system.
CONFIG_NUMA is not set in my case yet the topology is relevant
and useful.
irqbalance daemon application depends on topology to build the
cpus and package list and it fails on Fedora9 beta since the
sysfs topology was not being populated in the 2.6.25 kernel.
I am not sure if it was intentional to not define ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
for non-numa systems.
This fix has been tested on the above mentioned dual core, dual socket
system.

On some of our (single board computer) boards (x86) we are using an
IPMI controller that uses I/O ports 0x62 and 0x66 for a KCS (keyboard
controller style) IPMI system interface.
Trying to load the openipmi driver fails, because the ports
(0x62/0x66) are reserved for keyboard. keyboard reserves the full
range 0x60-0x6F while it doesn't need to.
Reserve only ports 0x60 and 0x64 for the legacy PS/2 i8042 keyboad
controller instead of 0x60-0x6F to allow the openipmi driver to work.
