i386: Do not include other cpus' interrupt 0 in nmi_watchdog
kstat_irqs(0) includes the count of interrupt 0 from all cpus, not just
the current cpu. The updated interrupt 0 on other cpus can stop the
nmi_watchdog from tripping, so only include the current cpu's int 0.
When a machine check or NMI occurs while multiple byte code is patched
the CPU could theoretically see an inconsistent instruction and crash.
Prevent this by temporarily disabling MCEs and returning early in the
NMI handler.
x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text
Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write

Add a general utility function to change write protected text. The new

synchronization. It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.
There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
comment.
This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.
Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu
Desnoyers.
This patch uses the read and write functions provided at system.h
for control registers instead of writting raw assembly over and

This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a
segfault happens. A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools
that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between
debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 >
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace)
Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to
deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the
following:
main()
{
while (1)
if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0;
}
This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of
new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this.
Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old
'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.

[PATCH] get rid of AVC_PATH postponed treatment
Selinux folks had been complaining about the lack of AVC_PATH

that avc_audit() really couldn't use audit_log_d_path() because of
deadlocks (== could be called with dcache_lock or vfsmount_lock held).
Shouldn't have made that assumption - it never gets called that way.
It _is_ called under spinlocks, but not those.

Some HW platforms, such as the new cell blades, requires some MPIC sources
to be left alone by the operating system. This implements support for
a "protected-sources" property in the mpic controller node containing a list
of source numbers to be protected against operating system interference.
For those interested in the gory details, the MPIC on the southbridge of
those blades has some of the processor outputs routed to the cell, and
at least one routed as a GPIO to the service processor. It will be used
in the GA product for routing some of the southbridge error interrupts
to the service processor which implements some of the RAS stuff, such
as checkstopping when fatal errors occurs before they can propagate.

[POWERPC] Allow exec faults on readable areas on classic 32-bit PowerPC
Classic 32-bit PowerPC CPUs, and the early 64-bit PowerPC CPUs, don't
provide a way to prevent execution from readable pages, that is, the
MMU doesn't distinguish between data reads and instruction reads,
although a different exception is taken for faults in data accesses
and instruction accesses.
Commit 9ba4ace39fdfe22268daca9f28c5df384ae462cf, in the course of
fixing another bug, added a check that meant that a page fault due
to an instruction access would fail if the vma did not have the
VM_EXEC flag set. This gives an inconsistent enforcement on these
CPUs of the no-execute status of the vma (since reading from the page
is sufficient to allow subsequent execution from it), and causes old
versions of ppc32 glibc (2.2 and earlier) to fail, since they rely
on executing the word before the GOT but don't have it marked
executable.
This fixes the problem by allowing execution from readable (or writable)
areas on CPUs which do not provide separate control over data and
instruction reads.
