yesterday I tried to reactivate my old 486 box and wanted to install a
current Linux with latest kernel on it. But it turned out that the
latest kernel does not boot because the machine crashes early in the
setup code.
After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the query_ist()
function. If this interrupt with that function is called the machine
simply locks up. It looks like a BIOS bug. Looking for a workaround for
this problem I wrote the attached patch. It checks for the CPUID
instruction and if it is not implemented it does not call the speedstep
BIOS function. As far as I know speedstep should be available since some
Pentium earliest.
Alan Cox observed that it's available since the Pentium II, so cpuid
levels 4 and 5 can be excluded altogether.
H. Peter Anvin cleaned up the code some more:
> Right in concept, but I dislike the implementation (duplication of the
> CPU detect code we already have). Could you try this patch and see if
> it works for you?
which, with a small modification to fix a build error with it the
resulting kernel boots on my machine.

The attached patch seems to already exist in a number of branches -- it
keeps popping up on Google for me, and is certainly already in Debian --
but is strangely absent from mainstream.
The problem appears to be that the patched file ends up as part of the
target toolchain, but unfortunately the gcc constant folding doesn't
appear to eliminate the __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC value early
enough. Certainly compiling C++ programs which use _IO... macros as
constants fails without this patch.

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.
Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.
Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with

Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and

For that add seq_bitmap(), and wrappers around it -- seq_cpumask() and
seq_nodemask().

Some chips appear to have the 2D engine hang during screen redraw,
typically in a sequence of copyarea operations. This appear to be
solved by adding a flush of the engine destination pixel cache
and waiting for the engine to be idle before issuing the accel
operation. The performance impact seems to be fairly small.
Here is a trace on an RV370 (PCI device ID 0x5b64), it records the
RBBM_STATUS register, then the source x/y, destination x/y, and
width/height used for the copy:
----------------------------------------

radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002611b] src[248:80] dst[248:70] wh[68:10]
----------------------------------------
When things are going fine the copies complete before the next ROP is
even issued, but all of a sudden the 2D unit becomes active (bit 17 in
RBBM_STATUS) and the FIFO retry (bit 13) and FIFO pipeline busy (bit
14) are set as well. The FIFO begins to backup until it becomes full.
What happens next is the radeon_fifo_wait() times out, and we access
the chip illegally leading to a bus error which usually wedges the
box. None of this makes it to the console screen, of course :-)
radeon_fifo_wait() should be modified to reset the accelerator when
this timeout happens instead of programming the chip anyways.

Ker:xnel panic - not syncing: Irrecoverable deferred error trap.
----------------------------------------
Another quirk is that these copyarea calls will not happen until the
first drivers/char/vt.c:redraw_screen() occurs. This will only happen
if you 1) VC switch or 2) run "consolechars" or 3) unblank the screen.
This seems to happen because until a redraw_screen() the screen scrolling
method used by fbcon is not finalized yet. I've seen this with other fb
drivers too.
So if all you do is boot straight into X you will never see this bug on
the relevant chips.

In the normal case, hugetlbfs reserves hugepages at map time so that the
pages exist for future faults. A struct file_region is used to track when
reservations have been consumed and where. These file_regions are
allocated as necessary with kmalloc() which can sleep with the
mm->page_table_lock held. This is wrong and triggers may-sleep warning
when PREEMPT is enabled.
Updates to the underlying file_region are done in two phases. The first
phase prepares the region for the change, allocating any necessary memory,
without actually making the change. The second phase actually commits the
change. This patch makes use of this by checking the reservations before
the page_table_lock is taken; triggering any necessary allocations. This
may then be safely repeated within the locks without any allocations being
required.
Credit to Mel Gorman for diagnosing this failure and initial versions of
the patch.

.. since a failed allocation is being (initially) handled gracefully, and
panic()-ed upon failure explicitly in the function if retries with smaller
sizes failed.

The s390 software large page emulation implements shared page tables by
using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page to
store page table information. This is set up in arch_prepare_hugepage(),
which is called from alloc_fresh_huge_page_node().
A similar call to arch_prepare_hugepage() is missing for surplus large
pages that are allocated in alloc_buddy_huge_page(), which breaks the
software emulation mode for (surplus) large pages on s390. This patch
adds the missing call to arch_prepare_hugepage(). It will have no effect
on other architectures where arch_prepare_hugepage() is a nop.
Also, use the correct order in the error path in alloc_fresh_huge_page_node().

This patch changes ia64 to use the new bcd2bin/bin2bcd functions instead
of the obsolete BCD2BIN/BIN2BCD macros.

Under rare circumstances, the ehca hardware might erroneously generate
two CQEs for the same WQE, which is not compliant to the IB spec and
will cause unpredictable errors like memory being freed twice. To
avoid this problem, the driver needs to detect the second CQE and
discard it.
For this purpose, introduce an array holding as many elements as the
SQ of the QP, called sq_map. Each sq_map entry stores a "reported"
flag for one WQE in the SQ. When a work request is posted to the SQ,
the respective "reported" flag is set to zero. After the arrival of a
CQE, the flag is set to 1, which allows to detect the occurence of a
second CQE.
The mapping between WQE / CQE and the corresponding sq_map element is
implemented by replacing the lowest 16 Bits of the wr_id with the
index in the queue map. The original 16 Bits are stored in the sq_map
entry and are restored when the CQE is passed to the application.
