1619cca292 Partially revert "Fix time going twice as fast problem on ATI Xpress chipsets"
Commit 66759a01ad introduced the fix for
time ticking too fast on some boards by disabling one of the doubly
connected timer pins on ATI boards.

However, it ends up being _much_ too broad a brush, and that just makes
some other ATI boards not work at all since they now have no timer
source.

So disable the automatic ATI southbridge detection, and just rely on
people who see this problem disabling it by hand with the option
"disable_timer_pin_1" on the kernel command line.

Maybe somebody can figure out the proper tests at a later date.

66759a01ad [PATCH] x86-64: i386/x86-64: Fix time going twice as fast problem on ATI Xpress chipsets
Original patch from Bertro Simul

This is probably still not quite correct, but seems to be
the best solution so far.

54d5d42404 [PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity
When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.

CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.

- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
  lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
  handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
  it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
  when using generic irq framework.

Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.

MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch.  Will test in a couple days.

208fb93162 [PATCH] kexec: x86_64: restore apic virtual wire mode on shutdown
When coming out of apic mode attempt to set the appropriate
apic back into virtual wire mode.  This improves on previous versions
of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic
into veritual wire mode.

This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has
an ExtInt input to make this decision.  A future improvement
is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode
at boot time and to remember it.  That is potentially a more accurate
method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

This works around the too fast timer seen on some ATI boards.

I don't feel confident enough about it yet to enable it by default, but give
users the option.

Patch and debugging from Christopher Allen Wing <wingc@engin.umich.edu>, with
minor tweaks (renamed the option and documented it)

67701ae976 [PATCH] check nmi watchdog is broken
A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the
check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing.

I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the
recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a
problem.  Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally
passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the
callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they
have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails
out.

On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is
also bougs...  by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the
NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs.  Its just that the test is
being done too early.

I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always
too early.  I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine
via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
