f0f12d85af x86_64: Check for .cfi_rel_offset in CFI probe
Very old 64bit binutils have .cfi_startproc/endproc, but
no .cfi_rel_offset. Check for .cfi_rel_offset too.

6e3515352b x86_64: Change PMDS invocation to single macro
Very old binutils (2.12.90...) seem to have trouble with newlines
in assembler macro invocation. They put them into the resulting
argument expansion. In this case this lead to a parse error because
a .rept expression ended up spread over multiple lines. Change the PMDS()
invocation to a single line.

0328ecef90 x86_64: Fix to keep watchdog disabled by default for i386/x86_64
Fixed wrong expression which enabled watchdogs even if nmi_watchdog kernel
parameter wasn't set. This regression got slightly introduced with commit
b7471c6da9.

Introduced NMI_DISABLED (-1) which allows to switch the value of NMI_DEFAULT
without breaking the APIC NMI watchdog code (again).

8154549cb8 x86_64: Fail dma_alloc_coherent on dma less devices
This should fix an oops with PCMCIA PATA devices

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8424

This is not a full fix for the problem, but probably
still the right thing to do.

[ I'm almost certain it's *not* the right thing to do, but it avoids an
  oops, and I want comments from others on what the right thing would
  actually be..  I suspect we should just remove the use of dma_mask
  entirely in this function, and just use coherent_dma_mask.  - Linus ]

e8c59c0cf9 [IA64] Failure to grow RBS
There is a bug in the ia64_do_page_fault code that can cause a failure
to grow the register backing store, or any mapping that is marked as
VM_GROWSUP if the mapping is the highest mapped area of memory.

When the address accessed is below the first mapping the previous mapping
is returned as NULL, and this case is handled.  However, when the address
accessed is above the highest mapping the vma returned is NULL, this
case is not handled correctly, and it fails to spot that this access
might require an existing mapping to grow upwards.

182fdd225d [IA64] Fix processor_get_freq
The core cpufreq code doesn't appear to understand returning -EAGAIN
for the get() function of the cpufreq_driver.  If PAL_GET_PSTATE returns
-1, such as when running on Xen, scaling_cur_freq is happy to return
4294967285 kHz (ie. (unsigned)-11).  The other drivers appear to return
0 for a failure, and doing so gives me the max frequency from
scaling_cur_frequency and "<unknown>" from cpuinfo_cur_frequency.  I
believe that's the desired behavior.

aa1cf632bd [POWERPC] Fix small race in 44x tlbie function
The 440 family of processors don't have a tlbie instruction.  So, we
implement TLB invalidates by explicitly searching the TLB with tlbsx.,
then clobbering the relevant entry, if any.  Unfortunately the PID for
the search needs to be stored in the MMUCR register, which is also
used by the TLB miss handler.  Interrupts were enabled in _tlbie(), so
an interrupt between loading the MMUCR and the tlbsx could cause
incorrect search results, and thus a failure to invalide TLB entries
which needed to be invalidated.

This fixes the problem in both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc by inhibiting
interrupts (even critical and debug interrupts) across the relevant
instructions.

c1a6e2b082 [x86 setup] Don't use EDD to get the MBR signature
At least one machine has been identified in the field which advertises
EDD for all drives but locks up if one attempts an extended read from
a non-primary drive.

The MBR is always at CHS 0-0-1, so there is no reason to use an
extended read, other than the possibility that the BIOS cannot handle
it.

Although this might break as many machines as it fixes (a small number
either way), the current state is a regression but the reverse is not.
Therefore revert to the previous state of not using extended read.

Quite probably the Right Thing to do is to read using plain (CHS) read
and extended read on failure, but that change would definitely have to
go through -mm first.

1115200a3d [IA64] SN2 needs platform specific irq_to_vector() function.
Add base support for implementing platform_irq_to_vector(), and
then use it on SN2.

71416bea5a [IA64] disable irq's and check need_resched before safe_halt
While sending interrupts to a cpu to repeatedly wake a thread, on occasion
that thread will take a full timer tick cycle (4002 usec in my case)
to wakeup.

The problem concerns a race condition in the code around the safe_halt()
call in the default_idle() routine.  Setting 'nohalt' on the kernel
command line causes the long wakeups to disappear.

void
default_idle (void)
{
        local_irq_enable();
        while (!need_resched()) {
-->             if (can_do_pal_halt)
-->                     safe_halt();
                else

A timer tick could arrive between the check for !need_resched and the
actual call to safe_halt() (which does a pal call to PAL_HALT_LIGHT).
By the time the timer tick completes, a thread that might now need to run
could get held up for as long as a timer tick waiting for the halted cpu.

I'm proposing that we disable irq's and check need_resched again before
calling safe_halt().  Does anyone see any problem with this approach?

cc75b92d11 genirq: mark io_apic level interrupts to avoid resend
Level type interrupts do not need to be resent.  It was also found that
some chipsets get confused in case of the resend.

Mark the ioapic level type interrupts as such to avoid the resend
functionality in the generic irq code.

b8d3f2448b Do not replace whole memcpy in apply alternatives
apply_alternatives uses memcpy() to apply alternatives.  Which has the
unfortunate effect that while applying memcpy alternative to memcpy
itself it tries to overwrite itself with nops - which causes #UD fault
as it overwrites half of an instruction in copy loop, and from this
point on only possible outcome is triplefault and reboot.

So let's overwrite only first two instructions of memcpy - as long as
the main memcpy loop is not in first two bytes it will work fine.
