Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.
However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.
Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.
This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.
End result looks like below:

Support for Always Running APIC timer (ARAT) was introduced in
commit db954b5898dd3ef3ef93f4144158ea8f97deb058. This feature
allows us to avoid switching timers from LAPIC to something else
(e.g. HPET) and go into timer broadcasts when entering deep
C-states.
AMD processors don't provide a CPUID bit for that feature but
they also keep APIC timers running in deep C-states (except for
cases when the processor is affected by erratum 400). Therefore
we should set ARAT feature bit on AMD CPUs.

Commit 7f74f8f28a2bd9db9404f7d364e2097a0c42cc12
(x86 quirk: Fix polarity for IRQ0 pin2 override on SB800
systems) introduced a regression. It removed some SB600 specific
code to determine the revision ID without adapting a
corresponding revision ID check for SB600.
See this mail thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129980296006380&w=2
This patch adapts the corresponding check to cover all SB600
revisions.

Intel Archiecture Software Developer's Manual section 7.1.3 specifies that a
core serializing instruction such as "cpuid" should be executed on _each_ core
before the new instruction is made visible.
Failure to do so can lead to unspecified behavior (Intel XMC erratas include
General Protection Fault in the list), so we should avoid this at all cost.
This problem can affect modified code executed by interrupt handlers after
interrupt are re-enabled at the end of stop_machine, because no core serializing
instruction is executed between the code modification and the moment interrupts
are reenabled.
Because stop_machine_text_poke performs the text modification from the first CPU
decrementing stop_machine_first, modified code executed in thread context is
also affected by this problem. To explain why, we have to split the CPUs in two
categories: the CPU that initiates the text modification (calls text_poke_smp)
and all the others. The scheduler, executed on all other CPUs after
stop_machine, issues an "iret" core serializing instruction, and therefore
handles core serialization for all these CPUs. However, the text modification
initiator can continue its execution on the same thread and access the modified
text without any scheduler call. Given that the CPU that initiates the code
modification is not guaranteed to be the one actually performing the code
modification, it falls into the XMC errata.
Q: Isn't this executed from an IPI handler, which will return with IRET (a
serializing instruction) anyway?
A: No, now stop_machine uses per-cpu workqueue, so that handler will be
executed from worker threads. There is no iret anymore.

The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled
along with ACPI, which would lead to problems. However, acpi_init()
is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has
returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used. Namely, if
acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means
that ACPI is enabled. Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled
in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with
ACPI.

The caller of ioapic_register_intr() has a pointer to the irq_cfg for
the irq already. Hand it in to avoid a full lookup.
In msi_compose_msg() the pointer to irq_cfg is already available. No

The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build
yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that
refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very
strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol.
[ mingo:
This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils
version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning
several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream
kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially
affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs).
Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch
bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8:
3d75e1b8 (Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END()
debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the
ENTRY() and the END():
ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
...
END(do_hypervisor_callback)
Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils
never even warned about it either.
This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels
since v2.6.27, out of the blue.
This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels
impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred
thousand historic commits. (!)
This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn
this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ]

Currently the index to the ret_stack is updated and the real return address
is saved in the ret_stack. Then we call the trace function. The trace
function could decide that it doesn't want to trace this function
(ex. set_graph_function does not match) and it will return 0 which means
not to trace this call.
The normal function graph tracer has this code:
if (!(trace->depth || ftrace_graph_addr(trace->func)) ||
ftrace_graph_ignore_irqs())
return 0;
What this states is, if the trace depth (which is curr_ret_stack)
is zero (top of nested functions) then test if we want to trace this
function. If this function is not to be traced, then return 0 and
the rest of the function graph tracer logic will not trace this function.
The problem arises when an interrupt comes in after we updated the
curr_ret_stack. The next function that gets called will have a trace->depth
of 1. Which fools this trace code into thinking that we are in a nested
function, and that we should trace. This causes interrupts to be traced
when they should not be.
The solution is to trace the function first and then update the ret_stack.

Return 0 on failure. This will cause the initialization of the driver
to fail and prevent the driver from loading if the BIOS cannot handle
the PCC interface command to "get frequency". Otherwise, the driver
will load and display a very high value like "4294967274" (which is
actually -EINVAL) for frequency:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
4294967274

Due to commit 781c5a67f152c17c3e4a9ed9647f8c0be6ea5ae9 it is
likely that the number of areas to scan for BIOS corruption is 0
-- especially when the first 64K is already reserved
(X86_RESERVE_LOW is 64K by default).
If that's the case then don't set up the scan.
