[PATCH] x86_64: Allow to run main time keeping from the local APIC interrupt
Another piece from the no-idle-tick patch.
This can be enabled with the "apicmaintimer" option.
This is mainly useful when the PIT/HPET interrupt is unreliable.
Note there are some systems that are known to stop the APIC
timer in C3. For those it will never work, but this case
should be automatically detected.
It also only works with PM timer right now. When HPET is used
the way the main timer handler computes the delay doesn't work.
It should be a bit more efficient because there is one less
regular interrupt to process on the boot processor.

be no libata driver (yet), but there is an ide driver, hpt366. When the
driver gets loaded, it causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference in
pci_bus_clock_list. It seems to be because the driver is waiting for clock
stabilization in init_hpt37x() which never comes. The driver just
continues on with the pci drvdata set to NULL, instead of a valid clock
entry. The following patch prevents the NULL dereference from happening,

[PATCH] Export cpu topology in sysfs
The patch implements cpu topology exportation by sysfs.
Items (attributes) are similar to /proc/cpuinfo.
1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id:
represent the physical package id of cpu X;
2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:
represent the cpu core id to cpu X;
3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings:
represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core;
4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings:
represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package;
To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,
driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes.
If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to
implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
The 4 defines are:
#define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
#define topology_core_id(cpu)
#define topology_thread_siblings(cpu)
#define topology_core_siblings(cpu)
The type of **_id is int.
The type of siblings is cpumask_t.
To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have
deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule.
1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the
default value.
2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0.
3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
HT/multi-thread.
4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
multi-core and HT/Multi-thread.
So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported.

Fix the problem in kernel 2.6.15.1 (and early versions) that OProfile on

The original code in valid_kernel_stack() in arch/i386/oprofile/backtrace.c
assumes that the frame pointer (headaddr) should be greater than stack
(i.e., regs).
This assumption is wrong for x86_64 because NMIs in x86_64 use a seperate
stack different from the kernel stack. Therefore, the variable stack now
points to some location on the NMI stack, which turns out to be at a higher
address than the frame pointer (headaddr) on the kernel stack. The correct
comparison here should be between headaddr and regs->rsp for x86_64.
