In time_cpufreq_notifier() the cpu id to act upon is held in freq->cpu. Use it
instead of smp_processor_id() in the call to set_cyc2ns_scale().
This makes the preempt_*able() unnecessary and lets set_cyc2ns_scale() update
the intended cpu's cyc2ns.

We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there
is a subtle bug which has been in the code for ever. This can cause
time jumps in the range of hours.
This was reported in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96
and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23
I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a
dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized
TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the
kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still
there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed
with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this
with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this
might be observable with the syscall based version as well.
CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and
CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right
after the seqlock was unlocked.
The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and
the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference
data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned
subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm
can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like
pm timer.
The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which
is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1
will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the
reference value.
To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value
against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger
than the actual TSC value.
I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than
the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast
clocksource unusable without a real good reason.

This avoids using wrmsr on MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR when it's not needed.
No wrmsr ever needs to be done if noone has ever used block stepping.
Without this change, using ptrace on 2.6.25 on an x86 KVM guest
will tickle KVM's missing support for the MSR and crash the guest
kernel. Though host KVM is the buggy one, this makes for a regression
in the guest behavior from 2.6.24->2.6.25 that we can easily avoid.
I also corrected some bad whitespace.

Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine.
This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The
vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following:
# makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
_exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.
makedumpfile Failed.
#
The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile
misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.
To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a
vmcoreinfo data.

We need to set up the shared_info pointer once we've mapped the real
shared_info into its fixmap slot. That needs to happen once the general
pagetable setup has been done. Previously, the UP shared_info was set
up one in xen_start_kernel, but that was left pointing to the dummy
shared info. Unfortunately there's no really good place to do a later
setup of the shared_info in UP, so just do it once the pagetable setup
has been done.

xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.
Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.
The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary. The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.
This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.

fix the 3D performance drop reported at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328
fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.
The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.
We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

we could call find_max_pfn() directly instead of setup_memory() to get

otherwise setup_memory() is called two times... that is duplicated...
[ mingo@elte.hu: both Thomas and me simulated a double call to
setup_bootmem_allocator() and can confirm that it is a real bug
which can hang in certain configs. It's not been reported yet but
that is probably due to the relatively scarce nature of

Latitude L400 clobbers the ECX register in speedstep_set_state, causing
unneccessary retries because the "state" variable has changed silently (GCC

The vmx hardware state restore restores the tss selector and base address, but
not its length. Usually, this does not matter since most of the tss contents
is within the default length of 0x67. However, if a process is using ioperm()
to grant itself I/O port permissions, an additional bitmap within the tss,
but outside the default length is consulted. The effect is that the process
will receive a SIGSEGV instead of transparently accessing the port.
Fix by restoring the tss length. Note that i386 had this working already.

It appears that 64-bit PCI resources cannot possibly ever have worked on
x86-32 even when the RESOURCES_64BIT config option was set, because any
driver that tried to [pci_]ioremap() the resource would have been unable
to do so because the high 32 bits would have been silently dropped on
the floor by the ioremap() routines that only used "unsigned long".
Change them to use "resource_size_t" instead, which properly encodes the
whole 64-bit resource data if RESOURCES_64BIT is enabled.

The patch has a dependency on bootmem modifications which are not .25
material that late in the -rc cycle. The problem which is addressed by
the patch is limited to machines with 256G and more memory booted with
NUMA disabled. This is not a .25 regression and the audience which is

almost near 4G..., and vmemmap_alloc_block will use up the ram under 4G.
solution will be:
1. make memmap allocation get memory above 4G...
2. reserve some dma32 range early before we try to set up memmap for all.
and release that before pci_iommu_alloc, so gart or swiotlb could get some
range under 4g limit for sure.
the patch is using method 2.
because method1 may need more code to handle SPARSEMEM and SPASEMEM_VMEMMAP
will get

errata list
We recently got some of the "Desktop Form Factor" Optiplex 745's in. I
noticed that there's an entry for the SFF one's, but the BIOS model number
of the DFF differs from that of the SFF. We have been reliably
experiencing the same (as far as I can tell) reboot bug as the SFF boxes.

quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86,
as documented at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991
the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose
cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for
anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's
the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was
supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated
by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as:
Quicklists: 1194304 kB
given how much trouble this code has caused historically,
and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86
(years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.
[ any performance benefits of caching constructed pgds should
be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page
allocator), while still allowing constructed pages to be
allocated by other workloads. ]

The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.
This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.
For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
signedness there.
The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.
