b65780e123 [PATCH] unwinder: move .eh_frame to RODATA
The .eh_frame section contents is never written to, so it can as well
benefit from CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

Diff-ed against firstfloor tree.

c65f38d911 [PATCH] unwinder: fully support linker generated .eh_frame_hdr section
Now that binutils' ld is able to properly populate .eh_frame_hdr in the
Linux kernel case, here's a patch to add some functionality to the Dwarf2
unwinder to actually be able to make use of this (applies on firstfloor
tree with the previously sent patch to add debug output, but not on plain
2.6.19).

6bedb2ccb0 [PATCH] x86-64: don't use set_irq_regs()
We don't need to setup _irq_regs in smp_xxx_interrupt (except apic timer).
These handlers run with irqs disabled and do not call functions which need
"struct pt_regs".

ad892f5e0d [PATCH] x86-64: check vector in setup_ioapic_dest to verify if need setup_IO_APIC_irq
setup_IO_APIC_irqs could fail to get vector for some device when you have too
many devices, because at that time only boot cpu is online.  So check vector
for irq in setup_ioapic_dest and call setup_IO_APIC_irq to make sure IO-APIC
irq-routing table is initialized.

Also seperate setup_IO_APIC_irq from setup_IO_APIC_irqs.

e4b522d7ef [PATCH] x86-64: fix asm constraints in i386 atomic_add_return
Since v->counter is both read and written, it should be an output as well
as an input for the asm.  The current code only gets away with this because
counter is volatile.  Also, according to Documents/atomic_ops.txt,
atomic_add_return should provide a memory barrier, in particular a compiler
barrier, so the asm should be marked as clobbering memory.

Test case:

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct { int counter; } atomic_t; /* NB: no "volatile" */

#define ATOMIC_INIT(i)	{ (i) }

#define atomic_read(v)		((v)->counter)

static __inline__ int atomic_add_return(int i, atomic_t *v)
{
	int __i = i;

	__asm__ __volatile__(
		"lock; xaddl %0, %1;"
		:"=r"(i)
		:"m"(v->counter), "0"(i));
/*	__asm__ __volatile__(
		"lock; xaddl %0, %1"
		:"+r" (i), "+m" (v->counter)
		: : "memory"); */
	return i + __i;
}

int main (void) {
	atomic_t a = ATOMIC_INIT(0);
	int x;

	x = atomic_add_return (1, &a);
	if ((x!=1) || (atomic_read(&a)!=1))
		printf("fail: %i, %i\n", x, atomic_read(&a));
}

d331e739f5 [PATCH] x86-64: Fix interrupt race in idle callback (3rd try)
Idle callbacks has some races when enter_idle() sets isidle and subsequent
interrupts that can happen on that CPU, before CPU goes to idle. Due to this,
an IDLE_END can get called before IDLE_START. To avoid these races, disable
interrupts before enter_idle and make sure that all idle routines do not
enable interrupts before entering idle.

Note that poll_idle() still has a this race as it has to enable interrupts
before going to idle. But, all other idle routines have the race fixed.

f3d73707a1 [PATCH] x86-64: Mark rdtsc as sync only for netburst, not for core2
On the Core2 cpus, the rdtsc instruction is not serializing (as defined
in the architecture reference since rdtsc exists) and due to the deep
speculation of these cores, it's possible that you can observe time go
backwards between cores due to this speculation. Since the kernel
already deals with this with the SYNC_RDTSC flag, the solution is
simple, only assume that the instruction is serializing on family 15...

The price one pays for this is a slightly slower gettimeofday (by a
dozen or two cycles), but that increase is quite small to pay for a
really-going-forward tsc counter.

http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf) to early
quirks.

And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late
during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode.

This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which
selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata
workaround).

fd6d7d2689 [PATCH] i386: introduce the mechanism of disabling cpu hotplug control
Add 'enable_cpu_hotplug' flag and when cleared, the hotplug control file
("online") will not be added under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/

Next patch doing PCI quirks will use this.

274e1bbdee [PATCH] x86: add write_pci_config_byte() to direct PCI access routines
Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on
x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working
around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision
ID 0x9 and below.  errata #23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf).

This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be
directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by
BIOS on these platforms).

Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and
forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms.

Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.

This patch:

Add write_pci_config_byte() to direct PCI access  routines

79929fd1c1 [PATCH] i386: Convert more absolute symbols to section relative
o Convert more absolute symbols to section relative to keep the theme in
  vmlinux.lds.S file and to avoid problem if kernel is relocated.

o Also put a message so that in future people can be aware of it and
  avoid introducing absolute symbols.
