120fad7240 [PATCH] i386: Fix Cyrix MediaGX detection
The old Cyrix 5520 CPU detection code relied upon the PCI layer setup being
done earlier than the CPU setup, which is no longer true.  Fortunately we
know that if the processor is a MediaGX we can do type 1 pci config
accesses to check the companion chip.  We thus do those directly and from
this find the 5520 and implement the workarounds for the timer problem

Original report from takada@mbf.nifty.com, I sent a proposed patch which
Takara then corrected, tested and sent back to the list on 10th January.

Submitting for merging as it seems to have been missed

Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for a
given cpu vector.  If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good chance
of continuing even though we dropped an irq message.  If we continue to
simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the system is likely to
become non-responsive shortly there after.

I've seen my box paralyzed by an endless spew of

    rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz.

messages on the serial console.  What seems to be happening is that
something real causes an interrupt to be lost and triggers the
message.  But then printing the message to the serial console (from
the hpet interrupt handler) takes more than 1/1024th of a second, and
then some more interrupts are lost, so the message triggers again....

Fix this by adding a printk_ratelimit() before printing the warning.

ee4eff6ff6 [PATCH] x86-64: update IO-APIC dest field to 8-bit for xAPIC
On the Unisys ES7000/ONE system, we encountered a problem where performing
a kexec reboot or dump on any cell other than cell 0 causes the system
timer to stop working, resulting in a hang during timer calibration in the
new kernel.

We traced the problem to one line of code in disable_IO_APIC(), which needs
to restore the timer's IO-APIC configuration before rebooting.  The code is
currently using the 4-bit physical destination field, rather than using the
8-bit logical destination field, and it cuts off the upper 4 bits of the
timer's APIC ID.  If we change this to use the logical destination field,
the timer works and we can kexec on the upper cells.  This was tested on
two different cells (0 and 2) in an ES7000/ONE system.

For reference, the relevant Intel xAPIC spec is kept at
ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/e8501/datashts/30962001.pdf,
specifically on page 334.

We can read National Semiconductor's datasheet without any NDAs.

from datasheets:
DIR1
0x30 - 0x33 GXm rev. 1.0 - 2.3
0x34 - 0x4f GXm rev. 2.4 - 3.x
0x5x        GXm rev. 5.0 - 5.4
0x6x        GXLV
0x7x         (unknow)
0x8x	    Gx1

In nsc driver of X, accept 0x30 through 0x82. What will 0x7x mean?

5d0e600d90 [PATCH] x86: fix laptop bootup hang in init_acpi()
During kernel bootup, a new T60 laptop (CoreDuo, 32-bit) hangs about
10%-20% of the time in acpi_init():

 Calling initcall 0xc055ce1a: topology_init+0x0/0x2f()
 Calling initcall 0xc055d75e: mtrr_init_finialize+0x0/0x2c()

 Calling initcall 0xc056c4bd: fbmem_init+0x0/0x87()
 Calling initcall 0xc056dd74: acpi_init+0x0/0x1ee()

It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through!  Frustratingly,
adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away
...

After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog
made these occasional hangs go away.

So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out
various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if
acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI
happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would
hang.  (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method
doing stores to chipset mmio registers?)

Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer
impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted
by this problem.

As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while
executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang.  I did a
boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch
it would hang every 5-10 attempts.  Out of caution i did not touch the
nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt
hang).

I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both
with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and
tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds
and works with the patch applied.

ffb6017563 [PATCH] x86-64: x86_64 - Fix FS/GS registers for VT execution
Initialize FS and GS to __KERNEL_DS as well.  The actual value of them is not
important, but it is important to reload them in protected mode.  At this time,
they still retain the real mode values from initial boot.  VT disallows
execution of code under such conditions, which means hardware virtualization
can not be used to boot the kernel on Intel platforms, making the boot time
painfully slow.

This requires moving the GS load before the load of GS_BASE, so just move
all the segments loads there to keep them together in the code.

When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold

The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the

all CPUs.

I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine
check polling code immediately to actually log any events
that might have caused the threshold interrupt.

24ce0e96f2 [PATCH] x86-64: Tighten mce_amd driver MSR reads
while debugging an unrelated problem in Xen, I noticed odd reads from
non-existent MSRs. Having now found time to look why these happen, I
came up with below patch, which
- prevents accessing MCi_MISCj with j > 0 when the block pointer in
MCi_MISC0 is zero
- accesses only contiguous MCi_MISCj until a non-implemented one is
found
- doesn't touch unimplemented blocks in mce_threshold_interrupt at all
- gives names to two bits previously derived from MASK_VALID_HI (it
took me some time to understand the code without this)

The first three items, besides being apparently closer to the spec, should
namely help cutting down on the time mce_threshold_interrupt() takes.

53fee04f31 [PATCH] x86-64: Fix fake numa for x86_64 machines with big IO hole
This patch resolves the issue of running with numa=fake=X on kernel command
line on x86_64 machines that have big IO hole.  While calculating the size
of each node now we look at the total hole size in that range.

Previously there were nodes that only had IO holes in them causing kernel
boot problems.  We now use the NODE_MIN_SIZE (64MB) as the minimum size of
memory that any node must have.  We reduce the number of allocated nodes if
the number of nodes specified on kernel command line results in any node
getting memory smaller than NODE_MIN_SIZE.

This change allows the extra memory to be incremented in NODE_MIN_SIZE
granule and uniformly distribute among as many nodes (called big nodes) as
possible.

3b3d5e1db6 [PATCH] i386: romsignature/checksum cleanup
Use adding __init to romsignature() (it's only called from probe_roms()
which is itself __init) as an excuse to submit a pedantic cleanup.

f9690982b8 [PATCH] i386: improve sched_clock() on i686
Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls
back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or
the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz.

This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all
hardware.  (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous
sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy
of jitter.)

Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the
desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously
this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed.  This makes
the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly
flag.

2ff2d3d747 [PATCH] i386: add idle notifier
Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop.  You can register a
callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle
loop.  The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call,
or the mwait instruction.  Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not
considered part of the low level loop.

The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless
execution (or low power mode).  The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off
monitoring.

f8657e1b55 [PATCH] i386: move startup_32() in text.head section
o Entry startup_32 was in .text section but it was accessing some init
  data too and it prompts MODPOST to generate compilation warnings.

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:boot_params from
.text between '_text' (at offset 0xc0100029) and 'startup_32_smp'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:boot_params from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to
.init.data:init_pg_tables_end from .text between '_text' (at offset
0xc0100099) and 'startup_32_smp'

o Can't move startup_32 to .init.text as this entry point has to be at the
  start of bzImage. Hence moved startup_32 to a new section .text.head and
  instructed MODPOST to not to generate warnings if init data is being
  accessed from .text.head section. This code has been audited.

o SMP boot up code (startup_32_smp) can go into .init.text if CPU hotplug
  is not supported. Otherwise it generates more warnings
