This patch adds a vgetcpu vsyscall, which depending on the CPU RDTSCP
capability uses either the RDTSCP or CPUID to obtain a CPU and node
numbers and pass them to the program.
AK: Lots of changes over Vojtech's original code:
Better prototype for vgetcpu()
It's better to pass the cpu / node numbers as separate arguments
to avoid mistakes when going from SMP to NUMA.
Also add a fast time stamp based cache using a user supplied
argument to speed things more up.
Use fast method from Chuck Ebbert to retrieve node/cpu from
GDT limit instead of CPUID
Made sure RDTSCP init is always executed after node is known.

Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.
What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.
Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.

To quote Alan Cox:
The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.
A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
that directory.
This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance
counters on the x86 chips. Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to
make reviewing easier. The SMP portion makes a lot more changes.
Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different
counter. In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate
event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it
will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they
break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).
This will help prevent subsystems like oprofile from interfering with the

The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to
the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once
serving as a separator) of this.
Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as
restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack

this could certainly be further improved.

The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally
added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also
breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need
a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work.
After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again.
It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much
problems there because old style port access for PCI config space
still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use
pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more
important.

The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.
The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.
This patch addresses the problem in two ways.
First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.
Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
all architectures that implement it.
It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
all.
This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
too long, feedback welcome.
For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.

Calgary hits a NULL pointer dereference when booting in a multi-chassis
NUMA system. See Redhat bugzilla number 198498, found by Konrad
Rzeszutek (konradr@redhat.com).
There are many issues that had to be resolved to fix this problem.
Firstly when I originally wrote the code to handle NUMA systems, I
had a large misunderstanding that was not corrected until now. That was
that I thought the "number of nodes online" referred to number of
physical systems connected. So that if NUMA was disabled, there
would only be 1 node and it would only show that node's PCI bus.
In reality if NUMA is disabled, the system displays all of the
connected chassis as one node but is only ignorant of the delays
in accessing main memory. Therefore, references to num_online_nodes()
and MAX_NUMNODES are incorrect and need to be set to the maximum
number of nodes that can be accessed (which are 8). I created a
variable, MAX_NUM_CHASSIS, and set it to 8 to fix this.
Secondly, when walking the PCI in detect_calgary, the code only
checked the first "slot" when looking to see if a device is present.
This will work for most cases, but unfortunately it isn't always the
case. In the NUMA MXE drawers, there are USB devices present on the
3rd slot (with slot 1 being empty). So, to work around this, all
slots (up to 8) are scanned to see if there are any devices present.
Lastly, the bus is being enumerated on large systems in a different
way the we originally thought. This throws the ugly logic we had
out the window. To more elegantly handle this, I reorganized the
kva array to be sparse (which removed the need to have any bus number
to kva slot logic in tce.c) and created a secondary space array to
contain the bus number to phb mapping.
With these changes Calgary boots on an x460 with 4 nodes with and
without NUMA enabled.

until that's done we need a quick fix for 2.6.18 to avoid
incomplete backtraces.
So when this happens dump the rest of the stack with the old unwinder
instead of silently not dumping it. There was already a optional

I also clarified the headers for the different backtraces a bit.

a race - when a user program jumps to a kernel lock address and
a NMI happens before the illegal page fault exception is raised
and the program has a unmapped esp or ebp then the kernel could
oops. NMIs have a higher priority than exceptions so that could
happen.
