Quoting Mike Travis in "x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4"
(23ca4bba3e20c6c3cb11c1bb0ab4770b724d39ac):
The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to
the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After
that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.
As these variables are NULL'ed before __init sections are dropped
(in setup_per_cpu_maps), they can be safely annotated as __ref.
This change silences following section mismatch warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x46c0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable x86_cpu_to_apicid_early_ptr to the variable .init.data:x86_cpu_to_apicid_early_map

x86_64 add/sub atomic ops does not seems to accept integer values bigger
than 32 bits as immediates. Intel's add/sub documentation specifies they
have to be passed as registers.
The only operations in the x86-64 architecture which accept arbitrary
64-bit immediates is "movq" to any register; similarly, the only
operation which accept arbitrary 64-bit displacement is "movabs" to or
from al/ax/eax/rax.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Machine-Constraints.html
states :
e
32-bit signed integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to fit
that range (for immediate operands in sign-extending x86-64
instructions).
Z
32-bit unsigned integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to
fit that range (for immediate operands in zero-extending x86-64
instructions).
Since add/sub does sign extension, using the "e" constraint seems appropriate.
It applies to 2.6.27-rc, 2.6.26, 2.6.25...

as per this discussion:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/423
Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the
combined size of ~4GB, slow down drastically in pthread_create() - because
glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is
a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model
64-bit P4 CPUs.
So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain
64-bit apps like this.
glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored
by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for
it can be implemented.

Adds a simple IRQ autodetection to the AMD Geode MFGPT driver, and more
importantly, adds some checks, if IRQs can actually be received on the
chosen line. This fixes cases where MFGPT is selected as clocksource
though not producing any ticks, so the kernel simply starves during
boot.

When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed
to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed.
Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush,
which can add dirty data back to the cache. On some AMD platforms,
additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because
of this dirty data.
Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before
halting. Tie into an assembly line so the compile will not
reorder it. Add some documentation explaining what is going
on and why we're doing this.

The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28
require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure,
particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU
will have to be observed.
Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current
and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more
easily.
Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID,
EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed
user_struct. These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header
files mitigates against making them inline functions.
linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h.
Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised
versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision
otherwise incurred.

=======================
Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
around the padlock instructions fix the oops.
Suresh wrote:
These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves
similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults
when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
oops with the recent fpu code changes.
This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem:
a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()
b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
cleared.
c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
in the task's xstate.
d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
the TS_USEDFPU is still set.
e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()
Now:
1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.
2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.
3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
math state was always in an allocated state.
With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
instructions generating DNA fault).
This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
changes:
0. CPU's TS flag is set
1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing
kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()
2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.
3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts
4. We complete the padlock routine
5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
set and not cleared.
6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
but take a DNA fault for the prev task.
This causes the fpu leakage.
Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
the possible FPU leakage issue.

In commit 37437bb2e1ae8af470dfcd5b4ff454110894ccaf
("pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.")
the test of the queue being stopped was erroneously
removed from qdisc_run().
When the TX queue of the device fills up, this omission
causes lots of extraneous useless work to be queued up
to softirq context, where we'll just return immediately
because the device is still stuffed up.

XFS object flushing doesn't quite match existing completion semantics. It
mixed exclusive access with completion. That is, we need to mark an object as
being flushed before flushing it to disk, and then block any other attempt to
flush it until the completion occurs. We do this but adding an extra count to
the completion before we start using them. However, we still need to
determine if there is a completion in progress, and allow no-blocking attempts
fo completions to decrement the count.
To do this we introduce:
int try_wait_for_completion(struct completion *x)
returns a failure status if done == 0, otherwise decrements done
to zero and returns a "started" status. This is provided
to allow counted completions to begin safely while holding
object locks in inverted order.
int completion_done(struct completion *x)
returns 1 if there is no waiter, 0 if there is a waiter
(i.e. a completion in progress).
This replaces the use of semaphores for providing this exclusion
and completion mechanism.

The attached patch seems to already exist in a number of branches -- it
keeps popping up on Google for me, and is certainly already in Debian --
but is strangely absent from mainstream.
The problem appears to be that the patched file ends up as part of the
target toolchain, but unfortunately the gcc constant folding doesn't
appear to eliminate the __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC value early
enough. Certainly compiling C++ programs which use _IO... macros as
constants fails without this patch.

Similar to above, but return swapped value from a naturally-aligned pointer
u16 swab16p(u16 *p)
u32 swab32p(u32 *p)
u64 swab64p(u64 *p)
u32 swahw32p(u32 *p)
u32 swahb32p(u32 *p)
Similar to above, but swap the value in-place (in-situ)
void swab16s(u16 *p)
void swab32s(u32 *p)
void swab64s(u64 *p)
void swahw32s(u32 *p)
void swahb32s(u32 *p)
Arches can override any of these with an optimized version by defining an
inline in their asm/byteorder.h (example given for swab16()):
u16 __arch_swab16() {}
#define __arch_swab16 __arch_swab16

Short enough reads from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity return -EINVAL for no
good reason.
This became noticed with NR_CPUS=4096 patches, when length of printed
representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with
1024-byte chunks. bitmap_scnprintf() in good faith fills buffer, returns
1023, check returns -EINVAL.
Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and
doesn't care about offsets, length, filling EOF and all this crap.
For that add seq_bitmap(), and wrappers around it -- seq_cpumask() and
seq_nodemask().

Some chips appear to have the 2D engine hang during screen redraw,
typically in a sequence of copyarea operations. This appear to be
solved by adding a flush of the engine destination pixel cache
and waiting for the engine to be idle before issuing the accel
operation. The performance impact seems to be fairly small.
Here is a trace on an RV370 (PCI device ID 0x5b64), it records the
RBBM_STATUS register, then the source x/y, destination x/y, and
width/height used for the copy:
----------------------------------------

radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002611b] src[248:80] dst[248:70] wh[68:10]
----------------------------------------
When things are going fine the copies complete before the next ROP is
even issued, but all of a sudden the 2D unit becomes active (bit 17 in
RBBM_STATUS) and the FIFO retry (bit 13) and FIFO pipeline busy (bit
14) are set as well. The FIFO begins to backup until it becomes full.
What happens next is the radeon_fifo_wait() times out, and we access
the chip illegally leading to a bus error which usually wedges the
box. None of this makes it to the console screen, of course :-)
radeon_fifo_wait() should be modified to reset the accelerator when
this timeout happens instead of programming the chip anyways.

Ker:xnel panic - not syncing: Irrecoverable deferred error trap.
----------------------------------------
Another quirk is that these copyarea calls will not happen until the
first drivers/char/vt.c:redraw_screen() occurs. This will only happen
if you 1) VC switch or 2) run "consolechars" or 3) unblank the screen.
This seems to happen because until a redraw_screen() the screen scrolling
method used by fbcon is not finalized yet. I've seen this with other fb
drivers too.
So if all you do is boot straight into X you will never see this bug on
the relevant chips.

The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug"
on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to
execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes
it will
1) print if it had an error code
2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off)
and
3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds.
While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving
number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that
the same thing was done for module loading.
This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's
a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late
binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding
where things are too slow in my boot.
