Hi!
I sent this simple patch to lkml about two weeks ago and also cc'ed
to Linus, but seems that the patch got ignored. I decided to write to
you, because you have modified the relevant file most recently.
Below is a copy of the mail that is also available at

The reboot_fixups stuff seems to be a bit of a mess, specifically the
header is in linux/ when its a purely i386-specific piece of code. I'm
not sure why it has its config option; its only currently needed for
"geode-gx1/cs5530a", so perhaps whatever config option controls that
hardware should enable this?

The kernel only supports gcc 3.2+ now so it doesn't make sense
anymore to explicitely check for options this compiler version
already has.
This actually fixes a bug. The -mprefered-stack-boundary check
never worked because gcc rightly complains
CC arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s
cc1: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12
We just never saw the error because of cc-options.
I changed it to 4 to actually work.
Tested by compiling i386 and x86-64 defconfig with gcc 3.2.
Should speed up the build time a tiny bit and improve
stack usage on i386 slightly.

Hello,
This patch against 2.6.20-git14 makes the NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1
instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting Intel architectural
perfmon, such as Intel Core 2. Although all PMU events can work on
both counters, the Precise Event-Based Sampling (PEBS) requires that the
event be in PERFCTR0 to work correctly (see section 18.14.4.1 in the
IA32 SDM Vol 3b). This versions has 3 chunks compared to previous where
we had missed on check.
Changelog:
- make the x86-64 NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0
on processors supporting the Intel architectural perfmon (e.g. Core 2 Duo).
This allows PEBS to work when the NMI watchdog is active.

Otherwise, if the process is handling SIGSEGV and examining the fault

previously stored fault information if it arrives between the
userspace fault happening and the SIGSEGV being delivered to the process.

Eliminated the arch/i386/kernel/timers in 2.6.18, use clocksoures instead.
pit_latch_buggy was referred in timers/timer_tsc.c, and currently removed.
Therefore nobody refer it.
Until 2.6.17, MediaGX's TSC works correctly. after 2.6.18, warned "TSC
appears to be running slowly. Marking it as unstable". So marked unstable
TSC when CS55x0.

Synchronize i386's smp_send_stop() with x86-64's in only try-locking
the call lock to prevent deadlocks when called from panic().
In both version, disable interrupts before clearing the CPU off the
online map to eliminate races with IRQ handlers inspecting this map.
Also in both versions, save/restore interrupts rather than disabling/
enabling them.
On x86-64, eliminate one function used here by folding it into its
single caller, convert to static, and rename for consistency with i386
(lkcd may like this).

- make the page table contents printing PAE capable
- make sure the address stored in current->thread.cr2 is unmodified

- don't call oops_may_print() multiple times, when one time suffices
- print pte even in highpte case, as long as the pte page isn't in
actually in high memory (which is specifically the case for all page
tables covering kernel space)
(Changes to v3: Use sizeof()*2 rather than the suggested sizeof()*4 for
printing width, use fixed 16-nibble width for PAE, and also apply the
max_low_pfn range check to the middle level lookup on PAE.)

Remove clustered APIC mode. There's little point in the use of clustered APIC
mode, broadcasting is limited to within the cluster only, and chipsets have
bugs in this area as well. So default to physical APIC mode when the CPU
count is large, and default to logical APIC mode when the CPU count is 8 or
smaller.
(this patch only removes the use of genapic_cluster and cleans up the
resulting genapic.c file - removal of all remaining traces of clustered
mode will be done by another patch.)

Fix a couple of inconsistencies/problems I found while reviewing the x86_64
genapic code (when I was chasing mysterious eth0 timeouts that would only
trigger if CPU_HOTPLUG is enabled):
- AMD systems defaulted to the slower flat-physical mode instead
of the flat-logical mode. The only restriction on AMD systems
is that they should not use clustered APIC mode.
- removed the CPU hotplug hacks, switching the default for small
systems back from phys-flat to logical-flat. The switching to logical
flat mode on small systems fixed sporadic ethernet driver timeouts i
was getting on a dual-core Athlon64 system:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0c 0005 c07f media 80.
eth0: Tx queue start entry 32 dirty entry 28.
eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008a04a. (queue head)
eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0008a04a.
eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 0008a04a.
eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008a04a.
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1
- The use of '<= 8' was a bug by itself (the valid APIC ids
for logical flat mode go from 0 to 7, not 0 to 8). The new logic
is to use logical flat mode on both AMD and Intel systems, and
to only switch to physical mode when logical mode cannot be used.
If CPU hotplug is racy wrt. APIC shutdown then CPU hotplug needs
fixing, not the whole IRQ system be made inconsistent and slowed
down.
- minor cleanups: simplified some code constructs
build & booted on a couple of AMD and Intel SMP systems.

This patch makes a few small cleanups to the cuboot code.
- It removes the double layered selection of images, via
cuboot-plat-y, instead having the cuboot platforms directly select a
suitable image-y (this changes the name of the final cuboot image from
plain cuImage to cuImage.<platform>).
- Factors out some code in the wrapper that's potentially
useful to platforms other than uboot.

In commit 0fba3a1f39 (a very long time ago,
May 2006), I fixed a bug that caused powermacs to crash when you tried
entering standby/mem suspend states.
As I'm now getting more familiar with the suspend code I notice a few
more things:
1. we previously misunderstood what pm_ops is for, it isn't supposed to be
for doing platform dependent suspend/resume stuff that needs to be done
for suspend to disk (as we currently try to use it!), it is instead for
entering platform dependent suspend states ("standby", "mem").
2. due to the first point, we never properly save FPU and altivec states
when suspending to disk. It probably hasn't hurt yet because the process
that writes the "disk" to /sys/power/state uses neither and its context
is used.
This patch addresses these points as follows:
1. remove all pm_ops from powermac, powermac suspend to ram isn't currently
usable via /sys/power/state but is done via the PMU instead.
2. move the code responsible for storing FPU/altivec state into
save_processor_state and the set_context() call to restore_processor_state.
3. add a call to kernel_enable_spe()
It may look like there is some code removal missing but that is
actually because the new suspend.h file overrides the ppc/suspend.h
one which was previously used.

Since we don't have it active by default, the STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
option has bitrotted again. This patch fixes a couple of simple build
fixes if the option is selected. First, pud_t mustn't be defined in
page.h on 32-bit systems, because it conflicts with the version in the
generic pud-folding code. Second, pci_32.c is missing a __pgprot()
wrapper call. Third, a couple of PS3 files use constants of type
pgprot_t when they need the raw values, we add pgprot_val() calls to
fix this.

This patch takes the definitions for the PPC44x MMU (a software loaded

in arch/powerpc and puts them in a new asm-powerpc/mmu_44x.h file. It
also substantially simplifies arch/powerpc/mm/44x_mmu.c and makes a
couple of small fixes necessary for the 44x MMU code to build and work
properly in arch/powerpc.
