65d2f0bc65 x86: Always flush pages in change_page_attr
Fix a bug introduced with the CLFLUSH changes: we must always flush pages
changed in cpa(), not just when they are reverted.

Reenable CLFLUSH usage with that now (it was temporarily disabled
for .22)

Add some BUG_ONs

c0d1217202 drivers/edac: add new nmi rescan
Provides a way for NMI reported errors on x86 to notify the EDAC
subsystem pending ECC errors by writing to a software state variable.

Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can
have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also
implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection
mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option.
Please review/test. Thx!

Also, I only made changes to some of the chipset drivers since I am
unfamiliar with the other ones. We can add similar changes as we go.

2e1d5b8f24 x86_64: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segment
This changes the x86_64 linker script to use the asm-generic NOTES macro so
that ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image
along with other read-only data.  The PT_NOTE also points to their location.

This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

b6a2fea393 mm: variable length argument support
Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.

We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space.  Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.

It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

f34e3b61f2 use the new percpu interface for shared data
Currently most of the per cpu data, which is accessed by different cpus,
has a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute.  Move all this data to the
new per cpu shared data section: .data.percpu.shared_aligned.

This will seperate the percpu data which is referenced frequently by other
cpus from the local only percpu data.

5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

97ac73506c sys_fallocate() implementation on i386, x86_64 and powerpc
fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.

Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
   and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
   previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
   once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
   in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
   a) to support fallocate() system call
   b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

608e261968 generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()
The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit.  Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning.  This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc...  In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning.  E.g.  on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():

 [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)

b716395e2b diskquota: 32bit quota tools on 64bit architectures
OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools
working on 64bit architectures.  In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function
was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be
32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right.  Look at
if_dqblk structure:

struct if_dqblk {
        __u64 dqb_bhardlimit;
        __u64 dqb_bsoftlimit;
        __u64 dqb_curspace;
        __u64 dqb_ihardlimit;
        __u64 dqb_isoftlimit;
        __u64 dqb_curinodes;
        __u64 dqb_btime;
        __u64 dqb_itime;
        __u32 dqb_valid;
};

For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44.
But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment!
Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function,
that handles this and related situations.

48d8d7ee5d x86_64 irq: use mask/unmask and proper locking in fixup_irqs()
Force irq migration path during cpu offline, is not using proper locks and
irq_chip mask/unmask routines.  This will result in some races(especially
the device generating the interrupt can see some inconsistent state,
resulting in issues like stuck irq,..).

Appended patch fixes the issue by taking proper lock and encapsulating
irq_chip set_affinity() with a mask() before and an unmask() after.

This fixes a MSI irq stuck issue reported by Darrick Wong.

There are several more general bugs in this area(irq migration in the
process context). For example,

 1. Possibility of missing edge triggered irq.
 2. Reliable method of migrating level triggered irq in the process context.

We plan to look and close these in the near future.

Eric says:
	In addition even with the fix from Suresh there is still at least one
	nasty hardware race in fixup_irqs().   However we exercise that code
	path rarely enough that we are unlikely to hit it in the real world,
	and that race seems to have existed since the code was merged.  And a
	fix for that is not coming soon as it is an open investigation area
	if we can fix irq migration to work outside of irq context or if
	we have to rework the requirements imposed by the generic cpu hotplug
	and layer on fixup_irqs().  So this may come up again.

4f84e4be53 x86_64: fix misplaced `continue' in mce.c
Background:
  When a userspace application wants to know about machine check events, it
  opens /dev/mcelog and does a read(). Usually, we found that this interface
  works well, but in some cases, when the system was taking large numbers of
  machine check exceptions, the read() would hang. The system would output a
  soft-lockup warning, and the daemon reading from /dev/mcelog would suck up
  as much of a single CPU as it could spinning in system space.

Description:
  This patch fixes this bug. In particular, there was a "continue" inside a
  timeout loop that presumably was intended to break out of the outer loop,
  but instead caused the inner loop to continue. This patch also makes the
  condition for the break-out a little more evident by changing a
  !time_before to a time_after_eq.

Result:
  The read() no longer hangs in this test case.

Testing:
  On my system, I could replicate the bug with the following command:
    # for i in `seq 15000`; do ./inject_sbe.sh; done
  where inject_sbe.sh contains commands to inject a single-bit error into the
  next memory write transaction.

Patch:
  This patch is against git f1518a088b.

12710a56cb fix sysrq-m oops
We aren't sampling for holes in memory.  Thus we encounter a section hole
with empty section map pointer for SPARSEMEM and OOPs for show_mem.  This
issue has been seen in 2.6.21, current git and current mm.  The patch below
is for mainline and mm.  It was boot tested for SPARSEMEM, current VMEMMAP
of Andy's in mm ml and DISCONTIGMEM.  A slightly different patch will be
posted to stable for 2.6.21.

Previous to commit f0a5a58aa8 memory_present
was called for node_start_pfn to node_end_pfn.  This would cover the
hole(s) with reserved pages and valid sections.  Most SPARSEMEM supported
arches do a pfn_valid check in show_mem before computing the page structure
address.

This issue was brought to my attention on IRC by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
Thanks to Arnaldo for testing.

e5e3c84b70 enable interrupts in user path of page fault.
This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong.
In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be
in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;)  then the
do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the

  goto bad_area_nosemaphore;

But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the
process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole
time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a
higher priority task.

This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the
bad_area_nosemaphore.

d0aff6e6f4 x86_64: vsyscall time() fix
The vsyscall time() function basically returns the second portion of
xtime directly.  This however means that there is about a ticks worth of
time each second where time() will return a second value less then what
gettimeofday() does.

Additionally, this window where vtime() is behind vgettimeofday() grows
when dynticks is enabled, so its probably good to get this in before
dynticks lands.

Big thanks to Sripathi for noticing this issue and creating a test case
to work with!

This patch changes the vtime() implemenation to call vgettimeofday(),
much as syscall time() implementation calls gettimeofday().

	Author: Russell King <rmk@dyn-67.arm.linux.org.uk>
	Date:   Mon Mar 20 20:00:09 2006 +0000

Glen Turner reported that writing LFCR rather than the more
traditional CRLF causes issues with some terminals.

Since this afflicts many serial drivers, extract the common code to a
library function (uart_console_write) and arrange for each driver to
supply a "putchar" function.

but early_printk is left out.

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up

e54dc2431d [PATCH] audit signal recipients
When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security
context for each target process. Optimize the data collection by
adding a counter for signal-related rules, and avoiding allocating an
aux struct unless we have more than one target process. For process
groups, collect pid/context data in blocks of 16. Move the
audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so we audit
attempts where permission is denied.

8bb7844286 Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

7e92b4fc34 x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices
Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them
if we have PNP.

This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by
the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g.,

    serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
    00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be
claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA
drivers and administration.

In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init
script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART
stuff back in.  On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel"
option does this.

To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or
ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with
the "legacy_serial.force" option.

bf8f6e5b3e Kprobes: The ON/OFF knob thru debugfs
This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off

o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or
  not (default enabled)
o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes
o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but
  not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case.
o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones
  registered in the intervening period) will be enabled
o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally
  enabled or not.
o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there
  also update the doc to make it current.

We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling
feature provided by this patch.

1c710c896e utimensat implementation
Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it

a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps
b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value
c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime
d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines
   of the BSD lutimes(3) functions

For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to
accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter.

Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime
which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work.

Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added.  We have
such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which
not everybody likes (chroot etc).

Test application (the syscall number will need per-arch editing):

#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <syscall.h>

code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

69331af79c Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console
The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag.  The implementation has some flaws though.  The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).

This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead.  This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.

The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.

I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed.  The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).

Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by
Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

74dfd666de swsusp: do not use page flags
Make swsusp use memory bitmaps instead of page flags for marking 'nosave' and
free pages.  This allows us to 'recycle' two page flags that can be used for
other purposes.  Also, the memory needed to store the bitmaps is allocated
when necessary (ie.  before the suspend) and freed after the resume which is
more reasonable.

The patch is designed to minimize the amount of changes and there are some
nice simplifications and optimizations possible on top of it.  I am going to
implement them separately in the future.

e3ebadd95c Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation"
This was broken.  It adds complexity, for no good reason.  Rather than
separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
is more readable and has nicer semantics.

However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
the exact same as __pa().  That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.

Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
more sanity-checking of the argument.

7fe3730de7 MSI: arch must connect the irq and the msi_desc
set_irq_msi() currently connects an irq_desc to an msi_desc. The archs call
it at some point in their setup routine, and then the generic code sets up the
reverse mapping from the msi_desc back to the irq.

set_irq_msi() should do both connections, making it the one and only call
required to connect an irq with it's MSI desc and vice versa.

The arch code MUST call set_irq_msi(), and it must do so only once it's sure
it's not going to fail the irq allocation.

Given that there's no need for the arch to return the irq anymore, the return
value from the arch setup routine just becomes 0 for success and anything else
for failure.

8a336b0a4b [PATCH] x86-64: Dynamically adjust machine check interval
Background:
 We've found that MCEs (specifically DRAM SBEs) tend to come in bunches,
 especially when we are trying really hard to stress the system out.  The
 current MCE poller uses a static interval which does not care whether it
 has or has not found MCEs recently.

Description:
 This patch makes the MCE poller adjust the polling interval dynamically.
 If we find an MCE, poll 2x faster (down to 10 ms).  When we stop finding
 MCEs, poll 2x slower (up to check_interval seconds).  The check_interval
 tunable becomes the max polling interval.  The "Machine check events
 logged" printk() is rate limited to the check_interval, which should be
 identical behavior to the old functionality.

Result:
 If you start to take a lot of correctable errors (not exceptions), you
 log them faster and more accurately (less chance of overflowing the MCA
 registers).  If you don't take a lot of errors, you will see no change.

Alternatives:
 I considered simply reducing the polling interval to 10 ms immediately
 and keeping it there as long as we continue to find errors.  This felt a
 bit heavy handed, but does perform significantly better for the default
 check_interval of 5 minutes (we're using a few seconds when testing for
 DRAM errors).  I could be convinced to go with this, if anyone felt it
 was not too aggressive.

Testing:
 I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors
 and verified that the polling interval accelerates.  The printk() only
 happens once per check_interval seconds.

Patch:
 This patch is against 2.6.21-rc7.

8339e9fba3 [PATCH] x86-64: safe_apic_wait_icr_idle - x86_64
apic_wait_icr_idle looks like this:

static __inline__ void apic_wait_icr_idle(void)
{
  while (apic_read(APIC_ICR) & APIC_ICR_BUSY)
    cpu_relax();
}

The busy loop in this function would not be problematic if the
corresponding status bit in the ICR were always updated, but that does
not seem to be the case under certain crash scenarios. Kdump uses an IPI
to stop the other CPUs in the event of a crash, but when any of the
other CPUs are locked-up inside the NMI handler the CPU that sends the
IPI will end up looping forever in the ICR check, effectively
hard-locking the whole system.

Quoting from Intel's "MultiProcessor Specification" (Version 1.4), B-3:

"A local APIC unit indicates successful dispatch of an IPI by
resetting the Delivery Status bit in the Interrupt Command
Register (ICR). The operating system polls the delivery status
bit after sending an INIT or STARTUP IPI until the command has
been dispatched.

A period of 20 microseconds should be sufficient for IPI dispatch
to complete under normal operating conditions. If the IPI is not
successfully dispatched, the operating system can abort the
command. Alternatively, the operating system can retry the IPI by
writing the lower 32-bit double word of the ICR. This “time-out”
mechanism can be implemented through an external interrupt, if
interrupts are enabled on the processor, or through execution of
an instruction or time-stamp counter spin loop."

Intel's documentation suggests the implementation of a time-out
mechanism, which, by the way, is already being open-coded in some parts
of the kernel that tinker with ICR.

Create a apic_wait_icr_idle replacement that implements the time-out
mechanism and that can be used to solve the aforementioned problem.

3ebad59056 [PATCH] x86: Save and restore the fixed-range MTRRs of the BSP when suspending
Note: This patch didn'nt need an update since it's initial post.

Some BIOSes may modify fixed-range MTRRs in SMM, e.g. when they
transition the system into ACPI mode, which is entered thru an SMI,
triggered by Linux in acpi_enable().

SMIs which cause that Linux is interrupted and BIOS code is
executed (which may change e.g. fixed-range MTRRs) in SMM may
be raised by an embedded system controller which is often found
in notebooks also at other occasions.

If we would not update our copy of the fixed-range MTRRs before
suspending to RAM or to disk, restore_processor_state() would
set the fixed-range MTRRs of the BSP using old backup values
which may be outdated and this could cause the system to fail
later during resume.

This patch ensures that our copy of the fixed-range MTRRs
is updated when saving the boot processor state on suspend
to disk and suspend to RAM.

In combination with other patches this allows to fix s2ram
and s2disk on the Acer Ferrari 1000 notebook and at least
s2disk on the Acer Ferrari 5000 notebook.

2b1f6278d7 [PATCH] x86: Save the MTRRs of the BSP before booting an AP
Applied fix by Andew Morton:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/8/88 - Fix `make headers_check'.

AMD and Intel x86 CPU manuals state that it is the responsibility of
system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across
all processors in Multi-Processing Environments.

Quote from page 188 of the AMD64 System Programming manual (Volume 2):

7.6.5 MTRRs in Multi-Processing Environments

"In multi-processing environments, the MTRRs located in all processors must
characterize memory in the same way. Generally, this means that identical
values are written to the MTRRs used by the processors." (short omission here)
"Failure to do so may result in coherency violations or loss of atomicity.
Processor implementations do not check the MTRR settings in other processors
to ensure consistency. It is the responsibility of system software to
initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors."

Current Linux MTRR code already implements the above in the case that the
BIOS does not properly initialize MTRRs on the secondary processors,
but the case where the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor are changed
after Linux started to boot, before the initialsation of a secondary
processor, is not handled yet.

In this case, secondary processors are currently initialized by Linux
with MTRRs which the boot processor had very early, when mtrr_bp_init()
did run, but not with the MTRRs which the boot processor uses at the
time when that secondary processors is actually booted,
causing differing MTRR contents on the secondary processors.

Such situation happens on Acer Ferrari 1000 and 5000 notebooks where the
BIOS enables and sets AMD-specific IORR bits in the fixed-range MTRRs
of the boot processor when it transitions the system into ACPI mode.
The SMI handler of the BIOS does this in SMM, entered while Linux ACPI
code runs acpi_enable().

Other occasions where the SMI handler of the BIOS may change bits in
the MTRRs could occur as well. To initialize newly booted secodary
processors with the fixed-range MTRRs which the boot processor uses
at that time, this patch saves the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot
processor before new secondary processors are started. When the
secondary processors run their Linux initialisation code, their
fixed-range MTRRs will be updated with the saved fixed-range MTRRs.

If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_state
as an empty statement because there is nothing to do.

Possible TODOs:

*) CPU-hotplugging outside of SMP suspend/resume is not yet tested
   with this patch.

*) If, even in this case, an AP never runs i386/do_boot_cpu or x86_64/cpu_up,
   then the calls to mtrr_save_state() could be replaced by calls to
   mtrr_save_fixed_ranges(NULL) and  mtrr_save_state() would not be
   needed.

   That would need either verification of the CPU-hotplug code or
   at least a test on a >2 CPU machine.

*) The MTRRs of other running processors are not yet checked at this
   time but it might be interesting to syncronize the MTTRs of all
   processors before booting. That would be an incremental patch,
   but of rather low priority since there is no machine known so
   far which would require this.

6fb14755a6 [PATCH] x86: tighten kernel image page access rights
On x86-64, kernel memory freed after init can be entirely unmapped instead
of just getting 'poisoned' by overwriting with a debug pattern.

On i386 and x86-64 (under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA), kernel text and bug table
can also be write-protected.

Compared to the first version, this one prevents re-creating deleted
mappings in the kernel image range on x86-64, if those got removed
previously. This, together with the original changes, prevents temporarily
having inconsistent mappings when cacheability attributes are being
changed on such pages (e.g. from AGP code). While on i386 such duplicate
mappings don't exist, the same change is done there, too, both for
consistency and because checking pte_present() before using various other
pte_XXX functions is a requirement anyway. At once, i386 code gets
adjusted to use pte_huge() instead of open coding this.

8f9aeca7a0 [PATCH] x86: add command line length to boot protocol
Because the command line is increased to 2048 characters after 2.6.21, it's
not possible for boot loaders and userspace tools to determine the length
of the command line the kernel can understand.  The benefit of knowing the
length is that users can be warned if the command line size is too long
which prevents surprise if things don't work after bootup.

This patch updates the boot protocol to contain a field called
"cmdline_size" that contain the length of the command line (excluding the
terminating zero).

The patch also adds missing fields (of protocol version 2.05) to the x86_64

8b8ca80e19 [PATCH] x86-64: configurable fake numa node sizes
Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes.  These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.

The old command-line option is still supported:
  numa=fake=32	gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
		actual machine.

But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
  numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
		gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
		the rest of system memory to a sixth node.

The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.

Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range.  The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate.  These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.

Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

a4831e08b7 [PATCH] x86-64: Move cpu verification code to common file
o This patch moves the code to verify long mode and SSE to a common file.
  This code is now shared by trampoline.S, wakeup.S, boot/setup.S and
  boot/compressed/head.S

o So far we used to do very limited check in trampoline.S, wakeup.S and
  in 32bit entry point. Now all the entry paths are forced to do the
  exhaustive check, including SSE because verify_cpu is shared.

o I am keeping this patch as last in the x86 relocatable series because
  previous patches have got quite some amount of testing done and don't want
  to distrub that. So that if there is problem introduced by this patch, at
  least it can be easily isolated.

8035d3ea78 [PATCH] x86-64: Extend bzImage protocol for relocatable bzImage
o Extend the bzImage protocol (same as i386) to allow bzImage loaders to
  load the protected mode kernel at non-1MB address. Now protected mode
  component is relocatable and can be loaded at non-1MB addresses.

o As of today kdump uses it to run a second kernel from a reserved memory
  area.

6a50a664ca [PATCH] x86-64: build-time checking
o X86_64 kernel should run from 2MB aligned address for two reasons.
	- Performance.
	- For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference
	  between compile time address and load time physical address.
	  This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data
	  is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB
	  aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time
	  kernel addresses are 2MB aligned.

o Flag the error at compile time if one is trying to build a kernel which
  does not meet alignment restrictions.

1ab60e0f72 [PATCH] x86-64: Relocatable Kernel Support
This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run
at any 2M aligned address, below 512G.  The technique used is to
compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor
is fully relocatable.  For the main kernel the page tables are
modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address.  In
addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address
the kernel is loaded at.  __pa_symbol is modified to add that when
we take the address of a kernel symbol.

When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress
the kernel to 2M and it will run there.  This both ensures the
relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M
pages for the kernel and the cpu.

AK: changed to not make RELOCATABLE default in Kconfig

0dbf7028c0 [PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation
Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.

__pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
spaces.  This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
__pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
the address.

There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
__pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.

Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
__pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one.  A little of
it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
instead of recalculating it several times.

swapper_pgd is now NULL.  leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd.  The
physical address changed.

Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization.  So this
should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
kernel.

As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
for anything I missed.  But it works for me (tm).
