80b51f310b x86: use the stack frames to get exact stack-traces for CONFIG_FRAMEPOINTER on x86-64
x86 32 bit already has this feature: This patch uses the stack frames with
frame pointer into an exact stack trace, by following the frame pointer.
This only affects kernels built with the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER config option
enabled, and greatly reduces the amount of noise in oopses.

This code uses the traditional method of doing backtraces, but if it
finds a valid frame pointer chain, will use that to show which parts
of the backtrace are reliable and which parts are not

Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to
be well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

e4a94568b1 x86: turn 64 bit x86 HANDLE_STACK into print_context_stack like 32 bit has
This patch turns the x86 64 bit HANDLE_STACK macro in the backtrace code
into a function, just like 32 bit has. This is needed pre work in order to
get exact backtraces for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to work.

The function and it's arguments are not the same as 32 bit; due to the
exception/interrupt stack way of x86-64 there are a few differences.

This patch should not have any behavior changes, only code movement.

Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to be
well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

5bc27dc2f5 x86: pull bp calculation earlier into the backtrace path
Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but
only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile
the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace
functions on the stack with bp based backtracing).

This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer;
sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack,
but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.

e9d4efddbe x86: improve the 32 bit Frame Pointer backtracer to also use the traditional backtrace
The 32 bit Frame Pointer backtracer code checks if the EBP is valid
to do a backtrace; however currently on a failure it just gives up
and prints nothing. That's not very nice; we can do better and still
print a decent backtrace.

This patch changes the backtracer to use the regular backtracing algorithm
at the same time as the EBP backtracer; the EBP backtracer is basically
used to figure out which part of the backtrace are reliable vs those
which are likely to be noise.

bc850d6b37 x86: add the capability to print fuzzy backtraces
For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability
for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either
reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to
print the unreliable ones slightly different.

This patch adds the basic capability, the next patch will add a user
of this capability.

3d1f7cae88 x86: fix 32-bit FRAME_POINTER chasing code
The current x86 32 bit FRAME_POINTER chasing code has a nasty bug in
that the EBP tracer doesn't actually update the value of EBP it is
tracing, so that the code doesn't actually switch to the irq stack
properly.

The result is a truncated backtrace:

This patch fixes the code to update EBP properly, and to check the EIP
before printing (as the non-framepointer backtracer does) so that
the same test backtrace now looks like this:

e479c8306f x86 setup: be more verbose when probing EDD
On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message.

Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device
names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda)

There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems
with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too.

This patch is adds an informational message on early boot.

CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m)
so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays.

I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen
more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking
cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end-
user to find out, what`s the issue.
For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset.

This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

with a valid stack.  Note that the 32-bit code cannot rely on this
stack, or we'll break all other existing users of the 32-bit

6fdc05d479 x86: unify pgtable accessors which use
Make users of supported_pte_mask common.  This has the side-effect of
introducing the variable for 32-bit non-PAE, but I think its a pretty
small cost to simplify the code.

bac4894dfa x86: make NUMA work on 32-bit again
On 32-bit NUMA, the memmap representing struct pages on each node is
allocated from node-local memory if possible. As only node-0 has memory from
ZONE_NORMAL, the memmap must be mapped into low memory. This is done by
reserving space in the Kernel Virtual Area (KVA) for the memmap belonging
to other nodes by taking pages from the end of ZONE_NORMAL and remapping
the other nodes memmap into those virtual addresses. The node boundaries
are then adjusted so that the region of pages is not used and it is marked
as reserved in the bootmem allocator.

This reserved portion of the KVA is PMD aligned althought
strictly speaking that requirement could be lifted (see thread at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/24/220). The problem is that when aligned, there
may be a portion of ZONE_NORMAL at the end that is not used for memmap and
does not have an initialised memmap nor is it marked reserved in the bootmem
allocator. Later in the boot process, these pages are freed and a storm of
Bad page state messages result.

This patch marks these pages reserved that are wasted due to alignment
in the bootmem allocator so they are not accidently freed. It is worth
noting that memory from node-0 is wasted where it could have been put into
ZONE_HIGHMEM on NUMA machines. Worse, the KVA is always reserved from the
location of real memory even when there is plenty of spare virtual address
space.

This patch also makes sure that reserve_bootmem() is not called with a
0-length size in numa_kva_reserve().  When this happens, it usually means
that a kernel built for Summit is being booted on a normal machine. The
resulting BUG_ON() is misleading so it is caught here.

acdac87202 percpu: make the asm-generic/percpu.h more "generic"
- add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES

- fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro.

Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override
several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic
percpu.h for all arches.

An arch may define:

__per_cpu_offset	Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must
			define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390).

__my_cpu_offset		Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine
			the offset for variables of the currently executing
			processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390.

SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset)	If an arch defines it then special handling
			of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used
			by s/390.

(Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated
so that there are less cases to deal with.)

cf8fa920cb i386: handle an initrd in highmem (version 2)
The boot protocol has until now required that the initrd be located in
lowmem, which makes the lowmem/highmem boundary visible to the boot
loader.  This was exported to the bootloader via a compile-time
field.  Unfortunately, the vmalloc= command-line option breaks this
part of the protocol; instead of adding yet another hack that affects
the bootloader, have the kernel relocate the initrd down below the
lowmem boundary inside the kernel itself.

Note that this does not rely on HIGHMEM being enabled in the kernel.

reboot_{32|64}.c unification patch.

This patch unifies the code from the reboot_32.c and reboot_64.c files.

It has been tested in computers with X86_32 and X86_64 kernels and it
looks like all reboot modes work fine (EFI restart system hasn't been
tested yet).

Probably I made some mistakes (like I usually do) so I hope
we can identify and fix them soon.

4c4915627f x86: make arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S use a separate
While examining vmlinux namelist on i386 (nm -v vmlinux) I noticed :

c01021d0 t es7000_rename_gsi
c010221a T es7000_start_cpu
<Big Hole>
c0103000 T thread_saved_pc

and

c0113218 T acpi_restore_state_mem
c0113219 T acpi_save_state_mem
<Big Hole>
c0114000 t wakeup_code

This is because arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S forces a .text alignment
of 4096 bytes. (I have no idea if it is really needed, since
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S uses a 16 bytes alignment *only*)

So arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o also has this alignment

arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o:     file format elf32-i386

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .text         00018c94  00000000  00000000  00001000  2**12
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE

But as arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.o is not the first object linked
into arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o, linker had to build several holes to meet
alignement requirements, because of .o nestings in the kbuild process.

This can be solved by using a special section, .text.page_aligned, so that
no holes are needed.

# size vmlinux.before vmlinux.after
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4619942  422838  458752 5501532  53f25c vmlinux.before
4610534  422838  458752 5492124  53cd9c vmlinux.after

This saves 9408 bytes
