As CPUs are migrated over to more fully-featured clock frameworks of
their own and off of the legacy CPG code, they no longer have any real
need for defining the PCLK value. The PCLK define in itself is already
fairly misleading, as many boards get their input clocks from different
sources, making this value fairly arbitrary anyways.
Outside of the legacy CPG clock framework, the only place where this
value is used is for deriving CLOCK_TICK_RATE, which we set back to the
legacy PIT value that it was before the PCLK definitions were added in
the first place.

Andrew Morton reported a strange looking kmemcheck warning:

The above printout is missing register dump completely. The
problem here is that the output comes from syslog which doesn't
show KERN_INFO log-level messages. We didn't see this before
because both of us were testing on 32-bit kernels which use the
_default_ log-level.
Fix that up by explicitly using KERN_DEFAULT log-level for
__show_regs() printks.

The invlpg prefault optimization breaks Windows 2008 R2 occasionally.
The visible effect is that the invlpg handler instantiates a pte which
is, microseconds later, written with a different gfn by another vcpu.
The OS could have other mechanisms to prevent a present translation from
being used, which the hypervisor is unaware of.
While the documentation states that the cpu is at liberty to prefetch tlb
entries, it looks like this is not heeded, so remove tlb prefetch from
invlpg.

Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which
default to -march=i686. This breaks building kernels for pre-i686
machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the
generation of CMOV instructions.
There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these
instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the
decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.

This reverts commit 9f15226e75. It's just
wrong, and broke resume for Rafael even on a non-AMD CPU.
As Rafael says:
"... it causes microcode_init_cpu() to be called during resume even for
CPUs for which there's no microcode to apply. That, in turn, results
in executing request_firmware() (on Intel CPUs at least) which doesn't
work at this stage of resume (we have device interrupts disabled, I/O
devices are still suspended and so on).
If I'm not mistaken, the "if (uci->valid)" logic means "if that CPU is
known to us" , so before commit 9f15226e75 microcode_resume_cpu() was
called for all CPUs already in the system during suspend, which was
the right thing to do. The commit changed it so that the CPUs without
microcode to apply are now treated as "unknown", which is not quite
right.
The problem this commit attempted to solve has to be handled
differently."

Presently acpi-cpufreq will perform the MSR read on the first CPU in the
mask. That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU.
Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
rdmsr on the current CPU.
So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), which will perform the
call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).

On Oprofile ARMv7 the PMNC_D bit was set to lower the PMU IRQs
and so to decrease the risk of errata #628216 from appearing.
The effect of setting the PMNC_D bit is that the CCNT counter

inaccurate.

The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config
dependencies.
Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't
ensure perf can never be disabled under us.
We have:
config X86
selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
select PERF_EVENTS
config PERF_EVENTS
[...]
x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf
events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is
necessary for the breakpoints.
What we need is:
- x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS
- HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS
so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86.
This fixes the following kind of build errors:

set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.
Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).

On machines using the Apple U4 bridge (AKA IBM CPC945) PCIe interface such
as the latest generation G5 machines x16 slot or the x16 slot of the
PowerStation, MSIs are currently broken (and will oops when enabling).
This fixes the oops and implements proper support for those. Instead of
using the PCIe <-> HT bridge conversion, on such slots we need to use
a bunch of magic registers in the bridge as the MSI target, encoding
the interrupt number in the low bits of the address itself

Now we have high res timers there is less of a reason for a high HZ value.
Furthermore I think there a few reasons we should reduce HZ to 100:
- Timer interrupt overhead. While this overhead is small, there are
applications that are very sensitive to jitter (eg some HPC apps).
- Issues with the timer wheel code. When coming out of NO_HZ idle we work our
way through the timer code one tick at a time. If we have been idle a long
time, this adds up - I sometimes see milliseconds of time spent in that
loop.
Long term we should fix the timer wheel algorithm, but for now if we reduce
HZ then we reduce the amount of work the timer code has to do when coming
out of idle.

The Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) module allocates individual pages
over time that are not migratable. On a long running system this can
severely impact the ability to find enough pages to support a hotplug
memory remove operation.
This patch adds a memory isolation notifier and a memory hotplug notifier.
The memory isolation notifier will return the number of pages found in
the range specified. This is used to determine if all of the used pages
in a pageblock are owned by the balloon (or other entities in the notifier
chain). The hotplug notifier will free pages in the range which is to be
removed. The priority of this hotplug notifier is low so that it will be
called near last, this helps avoids removing loaned pages in operations
that fail due to other handlers.
CMM activity will be halted when hotplug remove operations are active and
resume activity after a delay period to allow the hypervisor time to
adjust.

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.
So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.
This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.

Add pseudo-DMA by FIQ to the S3C24XX SPI driver. This allows the driver
to get DMA-like performance where there are either no free DMA channels or
when doing transfers that required both TX and RX data paths.
Since this patch requires the addition of an assembly file to hold the FIQ
code, we rename the module (instead of adding a rename of the .c file to
this patch). We expect most users are loading this via udev and thus
there should be no change to the userland configuration.

The loop condition is fragile: we compare an unsigned value to zero, and
then decrement it by something larger than one in the loop. All the

It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk
through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept
reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates.
Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack
walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace
processing.
This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered
by call-graph tracing timer events.
