Prior to commit 95492e4646e5de8b43d9a7908d6177fb737b61f0 ([PATCH] x86:
rewrite SMP TSC sync code), the headers in asm-i386 did not really require
anything in include/asm-x86_64. This means that distributions such as
fedora did not include asm-x86_64 in kernel-devel headers for i386. Ingo's
commit changed that, and broke things. This is easy enough to hack around
in package builds by just including asm-x86_64 on i386, but that's kind of
annoying. If anything, x86_64 should depend upon i386, not the other way
around.
This patch changes it so that asm-x86_64/tsc.h includes asm-i386/tsc.h,
rather than vice-versa.

there's a new NMI watchdog related problem: KVM crashes on certain
bzImages because ... we enable the NMI watchdog by default (even if the
user does not ask for it) , and no other OS on this planet does that so
KVM doesnt have emulation for that yet. So KVM injects a #GP, which
crashes the Linux guest:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1]
PREEMPT SMP
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0
EIP: 0060:[<c011a8ae>] Not tainted VLI
EFLAGS: 00000246 (2.6.20-rc5-rt0 #3)
EIP is at setup_apic_nmi_watchdog+0x26d/0x3d3
and no, i did /not/ request an nmi_watchdog on the boot command line!
Solution: turn off that darn thing! It's a debug tool, not a 'make life
harder' tool!!
with this patch the KVM guest boots up just fine.
And with this my laptop (Lenovo T60) also stopped its sporadic hard
hanging (sometimes in acpi_init(), sometimes later during bootup,
sometimes much later during actual use) as well. It hung with both
nmi_watchdog=1 and nmi_watchdog=2, so it's generally the fact of NMI
injection that is causing problems, not the NMI watchdog variant, nor
any particular bootup code.

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.
It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.
Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.
Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.
Also:
The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So
either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference
to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
has gone in.

The problem: After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown
the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location?
With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device
to flush all posted writes. This does not work for the oldest ioapics
because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different
data path. For some more modern ioapics when everything is using
front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a
read to the ioapic. For other modern ioapics emperical testing has
shown that this does not work.
So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an
ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to
received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed.
Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic
into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been
processed through the local apics.

There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable on SMP.
In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to needed cpu by means
of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some "virtual cpu" feature can migrate
process to anywhere. This triggers bugons and does wrong things in general.
This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing rdmsr
and wrmsr on given physical cpu by means of smp_call_function_single().
Dave Jones mentioned cpufreq might be not only user of rdmsr_on_cpu() and
wrmsr_on_cpu(), so I'm putting them into arch/{i386,x86_64}/lib/ .

make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and
i386.
The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and
i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems.
The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a
time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU
to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned
off.
The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

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.

When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold
overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space
to react to such events sooner.
The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the
machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between
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.
Also added some documentation for the mce sysfs interface.

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.

ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK is used by x86_64 arch . This arch needs to place a
read only copy of xtime_lock into vsyscall page. This read only copy is
named __xtime_lock, and xtime_lock is defined in
arch/x86_64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S as an alias. So the declaration of
xtime_lock in kernel/timer.c was guarded by ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK define,
defined to true on x86_64.
We can get same result with _attribute__((weak)) in the declaration. linker

Remove the statically allocated memory to NUMA node hash map in favor of a
dynamically allocated memory to node hash map (it is cache aligned).
This patch has the nice side effect in that it allows the hash map to grow
for systems with large amounts of memory (256GB - 1TB), but suffer from
having small PCI space tacked onto the boot node (which is somewhere
between 192MB to 512MB on the ES7000).

This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining.
This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth
in some case.
The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the
CPU again and it's better to not pollute the cache with it. Also it is a little
faster.

Current implementation allows the kernel to receive up to 255 characters from
the bootloader. While the boot protocol allows greater buffers to be sent.
In current environment, the command-line is used in order to specify many
values, including suspend/resume, module arguments, splash, initramfs and
more.
255 characters are not enough anymore.
After edd issue was fixed, and dynammic kernel command-line patch was
accepted, we can extend the COMMAND_LINE_SIZE without runtime memory
requirements.

The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture
individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in
asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be
architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios
structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h
anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of
the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too.
Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused
in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case
there are plans to use them yet.

On all targets that sucker boils down to memcpy_fromio(sbk->data, from, len).
The function name is highly misguiding (it _never_ does any checksums), the
last argument is just a noise and simply expanding the call to memcpy_fromio()
gives shorter and more readable source. For a lot of reasons it has almost
no remaining users, so it's better to just outright kill it.

Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it. Unfortunately there
are two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on
another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
state. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If
the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.
To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
tasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a
special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.
To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
its "freeze" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.
