d824395c59 [PATCH] x86: remove constant_tsc reporting from /proc/cpuinfo' power flags
remove the reporting of the constant_tsc flag from the "power management"
field in /proc/cpuinfo.  The NULL value there was replaced by "" because
the former would result in a printout of [8] if the flag is set.

5a90cf205c [PATCH] x86: Log reason why TSC was marked unstable
Change mark_tsc_unstable() so it takes a string argument, which holds the
reason the TSC was marked unstable.

This is then displayed the first time mark_tsc_unstable is called.

This should help us better debug why the TSC was marked unstable on certain
systems and allow us to make sure we're not being overly paranoid when
throwing out this troublesome clocksource.

0dbf7028c0 [PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation
Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.

__pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
spaces.  This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
__pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
the address.

There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
__pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.

Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
__pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one.  A little of
it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
instead of recalculating it several times.

swapper_pgd is now NULL.  leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd.  The
physical address changed.

Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization.  So this
should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
kernel.

As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
for anything I missed.  But it works for me (tm).

bf8696ed6d [PATCH] i386: i386 make NMI use PERFCTR1 for architectural perfmon (take 2)
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).

A similar patch for x86-64 is to follow.

Changelog:
        - make the i386 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
information, this can result in the kernel space fault trashing the
previously stored fault information if it arrives between the
userspace fault happening and the SIGSEGV being delivered to the process.

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

b2983f10f8 ACPI: prevent ACPI quirk warning mass spamming in logs
The following patch prevent this warning to be displayed again & again (eg:
nine times on my NForce2 motherboard) and thus improve signal to noise
ratio in logs.

The ATI quirk below probably needs a similar "fix" but I don't have
the hardware to test.

Btw arch/x86_64/kernel/early-quirks.c::nvidia_bugs() would probably need to
be synced (but I don't have an x86_64 NVidia motherboard to boot test it).
Still it shows the usefullity of the recent x86 merge thread.

9ce883becb [PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement option
noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.

Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.

Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it.

49f1971051 [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed.  The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.

Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code
ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode
driver to hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in
its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and
hangs.  It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the
microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it
from disk.

Allow the user to confirm that the local apic timer is trustworthy in C2
state. This keeps the default behaviour on the safe side.

4edc5db83f [PATCH] setup_boot_APIC_clock() irq-enable fix
latest -git triggers an irqtrace/lockdep warning of a leaked
irqs-off condition:

  BUG: at kernel/fork.c:1033 copy_process()

after some debugging it turns out that commit ca1b940c accidentally left
interrupts disabled - which trickled down all the way to the first time
we fork a kernel thread and triggered the warning.

the fix is to re-enable interrupts in the 'else' branch of
setup_boot_APIC_clock()'s pmtimers calibration path.

ad62ca2bd8 [PATCH] i386: disable local apic timer via command line or dmi quirk
The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States.  This is handled by
the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment
code.

Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch
into deeper C-States behind the kernels back.  This delays the local apic
timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable.

Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi
quirk for known broken systems.

Andi sayeth:

  While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic
  -- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide
  spread we will just continue extending it.

  But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with
  it.

6b3964cde7 [PATCH] i386: clockevents fix breakage on Geode/Cyrix PIT implementations
The PIT has no dedicated mode for shut down. The only way to disable PIT
is to put it into one shot mode. AMD implementations of PIT on Geode
(also observed on Cyrix) are confused by an "empty" transition from
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN, which puts the PIT
into one shot mode momentarily.

I realized after staring helpless at the bug report
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 for quite a while, that
the only change, which might influence the bogomips calibration, is the
above transition during the PIT initialization.

Avoiding the unnecessary switch to oneshot and later to periodic mode
fixes the weird bogomips value and also the resulting slowness.

The fix is confirmed on OLPC and another Geode based box.

Note: this is unrelated to the Dual Core problem discussed here:

ca1b940ce6 [PATCH] i386: trust the PM-Timer calibration of the local APIC timer
When PM-Timer is available for local APIC timer calibration we can skip the
verification of the calibrated time value.  The resulting error is quite
small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the
observed false positives.

We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to
avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10,
which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel
configuration.

The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to
emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard.  This
prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to
calibrate the local APIC timer.  Unfortunately we have no way to disable
this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process.

Add also the dropped cpu_relax() back to the wait loops.

fe69933652 [PATCH] ACPI: repair nvidia early quirk breakage on x86_64
x86_64 nvidia_bugs() broke when we bailed out on not finding the HPET.
However, the quirk works by checking for _not_ finding the HPET...

Delete the nvidia_hpet_detected flag and simply test for
not finding the HPET, which is simple to do now that
acpi_table_parse returns 1 on failure.
