c8cbee61c9 ACPI: preserve the ebx value in acpi_copy_wakeup_routine
Register %ebx serves as the "global offset table base register" for
position-independent code.  For absolute code, %ebx serves as a local
register and has no specified role in the function calling sequence.  In
either case, a function must preserve the register value for the caller.

acpi_copy_wakeup_routine overrides %ebx without saving it, this may corrupt
the called data.

Kevin found that most time the value of Sx is saved in %esi, however
sometimes compiler also uses %ebx.  When this happens, suspends fails since
sleep value in ebx is changed by acpi_copy_wakeup_routine.

The same funtion in X86_64 doesn't have this problem.

9d9bbd4d24 i386: Make CMPXCHG64 only dependent on PAE
It is only used for PAE kernels in set_64bit.

The problem is that due to a old Windows bug many CPUs need magic MSRs
to enable CMPXCHG64, and we can't do that nicely early enough before
it is potentially used.

But since we only need it in PAE kernels so only force the checking
for CMPXCHG65 with PAE.

This fixes a boot failure on Transmeta Crusoe

0864a4e201 Allow DEBUG_RODATA and KPROBES to co-exist
Do not mark the kernel text read only if KPROBES is in the kernel;
kprobes needs to hot-patch the kernel text to insert it's
instrumentation.

In this case, only mark the .rodata segment as read only.

018d2ad0cc x86: change_page_attr bandaids
- Disable CLFLUSH again; it is still broken. Always do WBINVD.
- Always flush in the i386 case, not only when there are deferred pages.

These are both brute-force inefficient fixes, to be improved
next release cycle.

The changes to i386 are a little more extensive than strictly
needed (some dead code added), but it is more similar to the x86-64 version
now and the dead code will be used soon.

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.

 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:00:04.0
 PCI: Error while updating region 0000:00:04.0/0 (a8008000 != fec08000)

Note that the BAR seems to have high address bits hardwired to fec00000.
And device 0000:00:04.0 is

 00:04.0 System peripheral: Siemens Nixdorf AG FSC Multiprocessor Interrupt Controller (rev 02)

I'd guess that when we try to reassign this resource, PCI interrupts might
just stop working. This could explain SCSI timeouts and other weird things.

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
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

This reverts commit c8fdd24725.

It turns out the kernel was correct, and the gcc complaint was a gcc
bug.  The preferred stack boundary is expressed not in bytes, but in the
the log2() of the preferred boundary, so "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2"
is in fact exactly what we want, but a gcc that is compiled for x86-64
will consider it an error (because the 64-bit calling sequence says that
the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to
generate 32-bit code.

6a3ee3d552 i386: fix voyager build
This adds an smp_ops for voyager, and hooks things up appropriately.  This is
the first baby-step to making subarch runtime switchable.

297d9c035e i386: move common parts of smp into their own file
Several parts of kernel/smp.c and smpboot.c are generally useful for other
subarchitectures and paravirt_ops implementations, so make them available for
reuse.

faa8b6c3c2 Revert "ipmi: add new IPMI nmi watchdog handling"
This reverts commit f64da958df.

Andi Kleen is unhappy with the changes, and they really do not seem
worth it.  IPMI could use DIE_NMI_IPI instead of the new callback, even
though that ends up having its own set of problems too, mainly because
the IPMI code cannot really know the NMI was from IPMI or not.

Manually fix up conflicts in arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c and
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c.

dc2585eb47 [CPUFREQ] powernow-k7: fix MHz rounding issue with perflib
When the PST tables are broken, powernow-k7 uses ACPI's processor_perflib to
deduce the available frequency multipliers from the _PSS tables.

Upon frequency change, processor_perflib performs some verification on the
frequency (checks that it's within allowable bounds).

powernow-k7 deals with absolute frequencies in KHz, whereas perflib only
deals with MHz values. When performing the above verification, perflib
multiplies the MHz values by 1000 to obtain the KHz value.

We then end up with situations like the following:
 - powernow-k7 multiplies the multiplier by the FSB, and obtains a value
   such as 1266768 KHz
 - perflib belives the same state has frequency of 1266 MHz
 - acpi_processor_ppc_notifier calls cpufreq_verify_within_limits to verify
   that 1266768 is in the allowable range of 0 to 1266000 (i.e. 1266 * 1000)
 - it's not, so that frequency is rejected
 - the maximum CPU frequency is not reachable

This patch solves the problem by rounding up the MHz values stored in perflib's
tables. Additionally it corrects a broken URL.

It also fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8255 although this
case is a bit different: the frequencies in the _PSS tables are wildly wrong,
but we get better results if we force ACPI to respect the fsb * multiplier
calculations (even though it seems that the multiplier values aren't entirely
correct either).

f1d1a842d8 SLUB: i386 support
SLUB cannot run on i386 at this point because i386 uses the page->private and
page->index field of slab pages for the pgd cache.

Make SLUB run on i386 by replacing the pgd slab cache with a quicklist.
Limit the changes as much as possible. Leave the improvised linked list in place
etc etc. This has been working here for a couple of weeks now.

5a18c92aab Revert "[PATCH] paravirt: Add startup infrastructure for paravirtualization"
This reverts commit c9ccf30d77.

Entering the kernel at startup_32 without passing our real mode data in
%esi, and without guaranteeing that physical and virtual addresses are
identity mapped makes head.S impossible to maintain.

The only user of this infrastructure is lguest which is not merged so
nothing we currently support will break by removing this over designed
nightmare, and only the pending lguest patches will be affected.  The
pending Xen patches have a different entry point that they use.

We are currently discussing what Xen and lguest need to do to boot the
kernel in a more normal fashion so using startup_32 in this weird manner is
clearly not their long term direction.

So let's remove this code in head.S before it causes brain damage to people
trying to maintain head.S
