daedb82d6b [PATCH] x86: vmx cpu feature detection
If VMX feature is available in the CPU, this patch will make it visible in
the /proc/cpuinfo with the cpuid detection.

3d1675b41b [PATCH] i386 kexec-on-panic: Don't shutdown the apics.
It is dangerous to shutdown the apics in machine_crash_shutdown.

With my previous patch to initialize apics in init_IRQ we should be able to
boot a kernel without this.  As long as we reinitialize the APICs we don't
care what state they were in during bootup.

This should make machine_crash_shutdown noticeably more reliable.

f2b36db692 [PATCH] i386: move apic init in init_IRQs
All kinds of ugliness exists because we don't initialize
the apics during init_IRQs.
- We calibrate jiffies in non apic mode even when we are using apics.
- We have to have special code to initialize the apics when non-smp.
- The legacy i8259 must exist and be setup correctly, even
  when we won't use it past initialization.
- The kexec on panic code must restore the state of the io_apics.
- init/main.c needs a special case for !smp smp_init on x86

In addition to pure code movement I needed a couple
of non-obvious changes:
- Move setup_boot_APIC_clock into APIC_late_time_init for
  simplicity.
- Use cpu_khz to generate a better approximation of loops_per_jiffies
  so I can verify the timer interrupt is working.
- Call setup_apic_nmi_watchdog again after cpu_khz is initialized on
  the boot cpu.

29b70081f7 [PATCH] i386 nmi_watchdog: Merge check_nmi_watchdog fixes from x86_64
The per cpu nmi watchdog timer is based on an event counter.  idle cpus
don't generate events so the NMI watchdog doesn't fire and the test to see
if the watchdog is working fails.

- Add nmi_cpu_busy so idle cpus don't mess up the test.
- kmalloc prev_nmi_count to keep kernel stack usage bounded.
- Improve the error message on failure so there is enough
  information to debug problems.

fcfd636a72 [PATCH] i386 io_apic.c: Memorize at bootup where the i8259 is connected
Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected.  This is very
useful when we kexec another kernel and likely helpful when dealing with a
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.

Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.

Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.

In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.  As
there does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.

f014a556e7 [PATCH] fixup bogus e820 entry with mem=
This was reported because someone was getting oopses reading /proc/iomem.
It was tracked down to a zero-sized 'struct resource' entry which was
located right at 4GB.

You need two conditions to hit this bug: a BIOS E820_RAM area starting at
exactly the boundary where you specify mem= (to get a zero-sized entry),
and for the legacy_init_iomem_resources() loop to skip that resource (which
only happens at exactly 4G).

I think the killing zero-sized e820 entry is the easiest way to fix this.

750deaa402 [PATCH] asus vt8235 router buggy bios workaround
Hopefully fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5235

Similar problem has been reported before here:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/def4ca19dbc3cd4/5cffbf349f2c87a4?tvc=2&q=Aleksey+Gorelov&hl=en#5cffbf349f2c87a4
and was related to bug in BIOS reporting 82C686 router compatible to 586.

I suspect BIOS on this board has similar issue: reports VT8235 router to be
compatible with 586 one - which is obviously not true.  Patch from the link
above has already incorporated in both 2.6 & 2.4 series, but might not work

which made to the base used dynamic array allocation, with this

I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the
arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function.  It uses a
cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz.  In the specific case of an
Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an
imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with
nearly nanosecond accuracy.

Fix the x86_64 architecture too.

d381d8a9a0 [PATCH] SELinux: canonicalize getxattr()
This patch allows SELinux to canonicalize the value returned from
getxattr() via the security_inode_getsecurity() hook, which is called after
the fs level getxattr() function.

The purpose of this is to allow the in-core security context for an inode
to override the on-disk value.  This could happen in cases such as
upgrading a system to a different labeling form (e.g.  standard SELinux to
MLS) without needing to do a full relabel of the filesystem.

In such cases, we want getxattr() to return the canonical security context
that the kernel is using rather than what is stored on disk.

The implementation hooks into the inode_getsecurity(), adding another
parameter to indicate the result of the preceding fs-level getxattr() call,
so that SELinux knows whether to compare a value obtained from disk with
the kernel value.

We also now allow getxattr() to work for mountpoint labeled filesystems
(i.e.  mount with option context=foo_t), as we are able to return the
kernel value to the user.

The second argument to ata_qc_complete() was being used for two
purposes: communicate the ATA Status register to the completion
function, and indicate an error.  On legacy PCI IDE hardware, the latter
is often implicit in the former.  On more modern hardware, the driver
often completely emulated a Status register value, passing ATA_ERR as an
indication that something went wrong.

Now that previous code changes have eliminated the need to use drv_stat
arg to communicate the ATA Status register value, we can convert it to a
mask of possible error classes.

This will lead to more flexible error handling in the future.

5fcbb23050 [PATCH] Remove policy contextualization from mbind
Policy contextualization is only useful for task based policies and not for
vma based policies.  It may be useful to define allowed nodes that are not
accessible from this thread because other threads may have access to these
nodes.  Without this patch strange memory policy situations may cause an
application to fail with out of memory.

Example:

Let's say we have two threads A and B that share the same address space and
a huge array computational array X.

Thread A is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 0 and 1 and thread B is
restricted by its cpuset to nodes 2 and 3.

Thread A now wants to restrict allocations to the first node and thus
applies a BIND policy on X to node 0 and 2.  The cpuset limits this to node
0.  Thus pages for X must be allocated on node 0 now.

Thread B now touches a page that has never been used in X and faults in a
page.  According to the BIND policy of the vma for X the page must be
allocated on page 0.  However, the cpuset of B does not allow allocation on
0 and 1.  Now the application fails in alloc_pages with out of memory.

61b13993a8 [PATCH] memory hotplug: call setup_per_zone_pages_min after hotplug
From: IWAMOTO Toshihiro <iwamoto@valinux.co.jp>
> I found the tests does not work well with Dave's patchset.
> I've found the followings:
>
> 	- setup_per_zone_pages_min() calls should be added in
> 	   capture_page_range() and online_pages()
> 	- lru_add_drain() should be called before try_to_migrate_pages()

The following patch deals with the first item.

0b0acbec1b [PATCH] memory hotplug: move section_mem_map alloc to sparse.c
This basically keeps up from having to extern __kmalloc_section_memmap().

The vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() helper could go in a vmalloc header, but that
header gets hard to work with, because it needs some arch-specific macros.
Just stick it in here for now, instead of creating another header.

3947be1969 [PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions
This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory
hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option.

Individual architecture patches will follow.

For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled.  There's a lot of
churn there right now.  We'll fix it up properly once it calms down.

bdc8cb9845 [PATCH] memory hotplug locking: zone span seqlock

208d54e551 [PATCH] memory hotplug locking: node_size_lock
pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.

Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
locking in show_mem().  However, they are all included for completeness.  This
should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
little more straightforward.

This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
sections are invalidated.  This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
for a memory area that's being removed.  The lock is only required when doing
pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a
reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

c6a57e19e4 [PATCH] memory hotplug prep: fixup bad_range()
When doing memory hotplug operations, the size of existing zones can obviously
change.  This means that zone->zone_{start_pfn,spanned_pages} can change.

There are currently no locks that protect these structure members.  However,
they are rarely accessed at runtime.  Outside of swsusp, the only place that I
can find is bad_range().

So, split bad_range() up into two pieces: one that needs to be locked and
anther that doesn't.

ed8ece2ec8 [PATCH] memory hotplug prep: break out zone initialization
If a zone is empty at boot-time and then hot-added to later, it needs to run
the same init code that would have been run on it at boot.

This patch breaks out zone table and per-cpu-pages functions for use by the
hotplug code.  You can almost see all of the free_area_init_core() function on
one page now.  :)

The following series implements memory hot-add for ppc64 and i386.  There are
x86_64 and ia64 implementations that will be submitted shortly as well,
through the normal maintainers.

This patch:

local_mapnr is unused, except for in an alpha header.  Keep the alpha one,
kill the rest.
