2a16a3007d [PATCH] x86_64: cpu hotplug changes kills nmi watchdog
When the x86_64 cpu hotplug changes went in it added a check in
default_do_nmi() which kills NMI delivery on any CPU but the BSP.

The NMI watchdog is brought up quite some time before the online bit is set
in num_online_cpus so this won't work very well.  The nmi watchdogs on cpus
that are not BSP will never be reprogrammed and no NMIs.

Why was this check added? How does an offlined cpu receive an NMI?

76e4f660d9 [PATCH] x86_64: CPU hotplug support
Experimental CPU hotplug patch for x86_64
  -----------------------------------------
This supports logical CPU online and offline.
- Test with maxcpus=1, and then kick other cpu's off to test if init code
  is all cleaned up. CONFIG_SCHED_SMT works as well.
- idle threads are forked on demand from keventd threads for clean startup

TBD:
1. Not tested on a real NUMA machine (tested with numa=fake=2)
2. Handle ACPI pieces for physical hotplug support.

76381fee7e [PATCH] xen: x86_64: use more usermode macro
Make use of the user_mode macro where it's possible.  This is useful for Xen
because it will need only to redefine only the macro to a hypervisor call.

0a65800243 [PATCH] x86_64: Rewrite exception stack backtracing
Exceptions and hardware interrupts can, to a certain degree, nest, so when
attempting to follow the sequence of stacks used in order to dump their
contents this has to be accounted for.  Also, IST stacks have their tops
stored in the TSS, so there's no need to add the stack size to get to their
ends.

Minor changes from AK.

daeeafecf0 [PATCH] x86_64: Keep only a single debug notifier chain
Calling a notifier three times in the debug handler does not make much sense,
because a debugger can figure out the various conditions by itself.  Remove
the additional calls to DIE_DEBUG and DIE_DEBUGSTEP completely.

This matches what i386 does now.

This also makes sure interrupts are always still disabled when calling a
debugger, which prevents:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: tpopf/1470
caller is post_kprobe_handler+0x9/0x70

Call Trace:<ffffffff8024f10f>{smp_processor_id+191} <ffffffff80120e69>{post_kpro
be_handler+9} 
<ffffffff80120f7a>{kprobe_exceptions_notify+58} 
<ffffffff80144fc0>{notifier_call_chain+32} <ffffffff80110daf>{do_debug+335} 
<ffffffff8010f513>{debug+127}  <EOE> 

on preemptible debug kernels with kprobes when single stepping in user space.

This was probably a bug even on non preempt kernels, this function was
supposed to be running with interrupts off according to a comment there.

Note to third part debugger maintainers: please double check your debugger can
still single step.

3a848f632f [PATCH] x86_64: Make kernel math errors a die() now
There were no reports about the previous warning for FPU exceptions in the
kernel, so make it a die() now.

Also improve the error messages slightly.

6fefb0d175 [PATCH] x86_64: Regularize exception stack handling
This fixes various issues in the return path for "paranoid"
handlers (= running on a private exception stack that act like NMIs).

Generalize previous hack to switch back to process stack for
scheduling/signal handling purposes.

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!
