include/linux/platform.h contained nothing that was actually used except
the default_idle() prototype, and is therefore removed by this patch.
This patch does the following with the platform specific default_idle()
functions on different architectures:
- remove the unused function:
- parisc
- sparc64
- make the needlessly global function static:
- arm
- h8300
- m68k
- m68knommu
- s390
- v850
- x86_64
- add a prototype in asm/system.h:
- cris
- i386
- ia64

While working on these patch set, I found several possible cleanup on x86-64
and ia64.
akpm: I stole this from Andi's queue.
Not only does it clean up bitops. It also unrelatedly changes the prototype
of pci_mmcfg_init() and removes its arch_initcall(). It seems that the wrong
two patches got joined together, but this is the one which has been tested.
This patch fixes the current x86_64 build error (the pci_mmcfg_init()
declaration in arch/i386/pci/pci.h disagrees with the definition in
arch/x86_64/pci/mmconfig.c)
This also means that x86_64's pci_mmcfg_init() gets called in the same (new)
manner as x86's: from arch/i386/pci/init.c:pci_access_init(), rather than via
initcall.
The bitops cleanups came along for free.
All this worked OK in -mm testing (since 2.6.16-rc4-mm1) because x86_64 was
tested with both patches applied.

"In some cases, especially on modern laptops with a lot of PCI and cardbus
bridges, we're unable to assign correct secondary/subordinate bus numbers
to all cardbus bridges due to BIOS limitations unless we are using
"pci=assign-busses" boot option." -- Ivan Kokshaysky (from a patch comment)
Without it, Cardbus cards inserted are never seen by PCI because the parent
PCI-PCI Bridge of the Cardbus bridge will not pass and translate Type 1 PCI
configuration cycles correctly and the system will fail to find and
initialise the PCI devices in the system.
Reference: PCI-PCI Bridges: PCI Configuration Cycles and PCI Bus Numbering:
http://www.science.unitn.it/~fiorella/guidelinux/tlk/node72.html
The reason for this is that:
``All PCI busses located behind a PCI-PCI bridge must reside between the
secondary bus number and the subordinate bus number (inclusive).''
"pci=assign-busses" makes pcibios_assign_all_busses return 1 and this
turns on PCI renumbering during PCI probing.
Alan suggested to use DMI automatically set assign-busses on problem systems.
The only question for me was where to put it. I put it directly before
scanning PCI bus into pcibios_scan_root() because it's called from legacy,
acpi and numa and so it can be one place for all systems and configurations
which may need it.
AMD64 Laptops are also affected and fixed by assign-busses, and the code is
also incuded from arch/x86_64/pci/ that place will also work for x86_64
kernels, I only ifdef'-ed the x86-only Laptop in this example.
Affected and known or assumed to be fixed with it are (found by googling):
* ASUS Z71V and L3s
* Samsung X20
* Compaq R3140us and all Compaq R3000 series laptops with TI1620 Controller,
also Compaq R4000 series (from a kernel.org bugreport)
* HP zv5000z (AMD64 3700+, known that fixup_parent_subordinate_busnr fixes it)
* HP zv5200z
* IBM ThinkPad 240
* An IBM ThinkPad (1.8 GHz Pentium M) debugged by Pavel Machek
gives the correspondig message which detects the possible problem.
* MSI S260 / Medion SIM 2100 MD 95600
The patch also expands the "try pci=assign-busses" warning so testers will
help us to update the DMI table.

Yes. However, it's pretty clear that the e820 entries are there for a
reason. Probably they are a hack by the BIOS maintainers to keep Windows
from stomping/moving that region, exactly because they want to keep the
bridge where it is (or, it's actually for the BIOS itself - the BIOS
tables are a horrid mess, and BIOS engineers are pretty hacky people:
they'll add random entries to make their own broken algorithms do the
"right thing").

I think we could (and probably should) solve this another way: consider
the ACPI "reserved regions" from the e820 map exactly the same way that we
do other ACPI hints - they should restrict _new_ allocations, but not
impact stuff we figure out on our own.
Basically, right now we assign _unassigned_ resources at "fs_initcall"
time. If we were to add in the e820 "reserved region" stuff before that
(but after we've done PCI discovery), we'd probably do the right thing.
Right now we do the e820 reserved regions very early indeed: we call
"register_memory()" from setup_arch(). We could move at least part of it
(the part that registers the resources) down a bit.
Here's a test-patch. I'm not saying we should absolutely do this, but it
might be interesting to try...

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen
due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs.
If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option.
It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single
time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs
to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed.
The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that
architectures other than x86 will find it useful.

I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e. it missed
converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm. While most of
them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi
doesn't appear to be.

callbacks
Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously
primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently
get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by
modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger
the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result.
This is because the callback gets invoked
(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and
(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.
Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in-
kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed
memory inside their handlers.

The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months
already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init,
and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK,
booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the
latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown
interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started
to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached
is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem
by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch,
as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope
someone else can justify the intrusive changes.
arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk().
setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved
setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover
the bug I was fighting with.
early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen,
otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you
can't read them.

Several places in arch/i386/kernel/cpu and kernel/cpu were using __devinit
when they should have been __cpuinit. Fixing that saves ~4K when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
Noticed by Andrew Morton.

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.
Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.
The changes in detail:
* The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
the SMP alternatives code is added there.
* The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
.smp_altinstructions
like .altinstructions, also contains a list
of alt_instr structs.
.smp_altinstr_replacement
like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
save original instruction before replaving it.
.smp_locks
list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
out on UP.
The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible
to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
* The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
can be free if they are not needed.
* Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

Print stack backtraces in multiple columns, saving screen space. Number of
columns is configurable and defaults to one so behavior is
backwards-compatible.
Also removes the brackets around addresses when printing more
that one entry per line so they print as:
<address>
instead of:
[<address>]
This helps multiple entries fit better on one line.
Original idea by Dave Jones, taken from x86_64.

REGPARM has already gotten much testing, what about removing the
dependency on EXPERIMENTAL?
Additionally, this patch does:
- remove the useless "default n"
- remove note regarding binary only modules (nowadays, there are even
some binary only modules compiled with REGPARM=y available)

Remove the assumption that driver_register() returns the number of devices
bound to the driver. In fact, it returns zero for success or a negative
error value.
Nobody uses the return value of of_register_driver() anyway.
