[PATCH] x86-64: Make lockless machine check record passing a bit more robust.
One machine is constantly throwing NMI watchdog timeouts in mce_log
This was one attempt to fix it.
(AK: this doesn't actually fix the bug I'm seeing unfortunately, probably
drop. I don't like it that the reader can spin forever now waiting
for a writer)
This leads to bootmem allocating first from node 0 instead
of from the last node. This avoids swiotlb allocating on the last node, which
doesn't really work on a machine with >4GB.
Note: there is a better patch around from someone else that gets
rid of the pgdat list completely.
[PATCH] x86-64: Avoid unnecessary double bouncing for swiotlb
PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS has to be zero even when the GART IOMMU is disabled
and the swiotlb is used. Otherwise the block layer does unnecessary
double bouncing.
[PATCH] x86-64: Support dualcore and 8 socket systems in k8 fallback node parsing
In particular on systems where the local APIC space and node space
is very different from the Linux CPU number space.
Previously the older NUMA setup code directly parsing the K8
northbridge registers had some issues on 8 socket or dual core
systems. This patch fixes them.
This is mainly done by fixing some confusion between Linux
CPU numbers and local APIC ids. We now pass the local APIC IDs
to later code, which avoids mismatches.
Also add some heuristics to detect cases where the Hypertransport
nodeids and the local APIC IDs don't match, but are shifted
by a constant offset.
This is still all quite hackish, hopefully BIOS writers fill
in correct SRATs instead.
[PATCH] x86-64: Don't assign CPU numbers in SRAT parsing
Do that later when the CPU boots. SRAT just stores the APIC<->Node
mapping node. This fixes problems on systems where the order
of SRAT entries does not match the MADT.

[PATCH] cpuset semaphore depth check optimize
Optimize the deadlock avoidance check on the global cpuset
semaphore cpuset_sem. Instead of adding a depth counter to the
task struct of each task, rather just two words are enough, one
to store the depth and the other the current cpuset_sem holder.
Thanks to Nikita Danilov for the idea.

[ We may want to change this further, but at least it's now
a totally internal decision to the cpusets code ]
Mark ia64-specific MCA/INIT scheduler hooks as dangerous
..and only enable them for ia64. The functions are only valid
when the whole system has been totally stopped and no scheduler
activity is ongoing on any CPU, and interrupts are globally
disabled.
In other words, they aren't useful for anything else. So make
sure that nobody can use them by mistake.

[PATCH] ppc64: Add definitions for new PTRACE calls
- Add PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG/PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG. The definition is
as follows:
/*
* Get or set a debug register. The first 16 are DABR registers and the
* second 16 are IABR registers.
*/
#define PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG 25
#define PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG 26
DABR == data breakpoint and IABR = instruction breakpoint in IBM
speak. We could split out the IABR into 2 more ptrace calls but I
figured there was no need and 16 DABR registers should be more
than enough (POWER4/POWER5 have one).
- Add 2 new SIGTRAP si_codes: TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRANCH. I couldnt
find any standards on either of these so I copied what ia64 is
doing. Again this might be better placed in

ppc64: Set up PCI tree from Open Firmware device tree
This adds code which gives us the option on ppc64 of instantiating the
PCI tree (the tree of pci_bus and pci_dev structs) from the Open
Firmware device tree rather than by probing PCI configuration space.
The OF device tree has a node for each PCI device and bridge in the
system, with properties that tell us what addresses the firmware has
configured for them and other details.
There are a couple of reasons why this is needed. First, on systems
with a hypervisor, there is a PCI-PCI bridge per slot under the PCI
host bridges. These PCI-PCI bridges have special isolation features
for virtualization. We can't write to their config space, and we are
not supposed to be reading their config space either. The firmware
tells us about the address ranges that they pass in the OF device
tree.
Secondly, on powermacs, the interrupt controller is in a PCI device
that may be behind a PCI-PCI bridge. If we happened to take an
interrupt just at the point when the device or a bridge on the path to
it was disabled for probing, we would crash when we try to access the
interrupt controller.
I have implemented a platform-specific function which is called for
each PCI bridge (host or PCI-PCI) to say whether the code should look
in the device tree or use normal PCI probing for the devices under
that bridge. On pSeries machines we use the device tree if we're
running under a hypervisor, otherwise we use normal probing. On
powermacs we use normal probing for the AGP bridge, since the device
for the AGP bridge itself isn't shown in the device tree (at least on
my G5), and the device tree for everything else.
This has been tested on a dual G5 powermac, a partition on a POWER5
machine (running under the hypervisor), and a legacy iSeries
partition.
[PATCH] i810fb: Change option ext_vga to extvga to match documentation
Reported by: Manuel Lauss <mano@roarinelk.homelinux.net>
He was getting random initial video modes depending on the kernel
configuration. His option line includes 'extvga'.
The i810fb documentation describes the option 'extvga', however the
driver accepts 'ext_vga'. Besides 'extvga' being ignored by i810fb,
it also confuses the option parser of i810fb and assigns 'extvga' to
'mode_option'. This leads to an incorrect video mode at boot time.
[PATCH] m68knommu: common RAM based 68360 startup code

[PATCH] uclinux: add NULL check, 0 end valid check and some more exports to nommu.c
Move call to get_mm_counter() in update_mem_hiwater() to be

following a null pointer here. This patch submitted by
Javier Herrero <jherrero@hvsistemas.es>.
Modify the end check for munmap regions to allow for the
legacy behavior of 0 being valid. Pretty much all current
uClinux system libc malloc's pass in 0 as the end point.
A hard check will fail on these, so change the check so
that if it is non-zero it must be valid otherwise it fails.
A passed in value will always succeed (as it used too).
Also export a few more mm system functions - to be consistent
with the VM code exports.

kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chain
When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare
So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.
prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.
The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.
Updated Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.
This ports the Sun GEM ROM mapping/enable fixes it sunhme (which used
the same PCI ROM mapping code).
Without this, I get NULL MAC addresses for all 4 ports (it's a SUN QFE).
With it, I get the correct addresses (the ones printed on the label on
the card).
This same patch was reported to fix the MAC address detection on sunhme
(next patch). Most people seem to be running this on Sparcs or PPC
machines, where we get the MAC address from their respective firmware
rather than from the (previously broken) ROM mapping routines.

The UML fault handler was recently changed to enforce PROT_NONE protections,
by requiring VM_READ or VM_EXEC on VMA's.
However, by mistake, things were changed such that VM_READ is always checked,
also on write faults; so a VMA mapped with only PROT_WRITE is not readable
(unless it's prefaulted with MAP_POPULATE or with a write), which is different
from i386.
Discovered while testing remap_file_pages protection support.

Turns out that, for UML, a *lot* of VM-related trivial functions are not
inlined but rather normal functions.
In other sections of UML code, this is justified by having files which
interact with the host and cannot therefore include kernel headers, but in
this case there's no such justification.
I've had to turn many of them to macros because of missing declarations. While
doing this, I've decided to reuse some already existing macros.
