I'd like to thank John Stul and others for helping
me along the way.
A lot of cleanups fell out of this. For example, the get_compare()
tick_op was totally unused, so was deleted. And the most often used
tick_op members were grouped together for cache-friendlyness.
The sparc64 TSC is given to the kernel as a one-shot timer.
tick_ops->init_timer() simply turns off the privileged bit in
the tick register (when possible), and disables the interrupt
by setting bit 63 in the compare register. The ->disable_irq()
op also sets this bit.
tick_ops->add_compare() is changed to:
1) Add the given delta to "tick" not to "compare"
2) Return a boolean which, if true, means that the tick
value read after writing the compare value was found
to have incremented past the initial tick value. This
mirrors logic used in the HPET driver's ->next_event()
method.
Each tick_ops implementation also now provides a name string.
And we feed this into the clocksource and clockevents layers.

Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if
this were done by default.
1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
->get_stats is set.
This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.
Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...

For the places where we need a pointer to the mac header, it is still legal to

noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.
Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.

Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is

The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved

Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic

ia64 expects following vm layout:
== low memory
[register-stack grows up]
[memory-stack grows down]
== high memory
But the code assigns the base of the register stack at the
maximum stack size offset from the fixed address where the
stack *might* start. Stack randomization will result in the
memory stack starting at a lower address than this, and if the
user has set a low stack limit with "ulimit -s", then you can
end up with the register stack above the memory stack (or if
you were very unlucky right on top of it!).
Fix: Calculate the base address for the register stack starting
from the actual address of the memory stack.

When device-mapper's DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD ioctl is called to create a new device,
dev_create()->dm_create()->alloc_dev()-> blk_queue_bounce_limit(md->queue,
BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) is called.
blk_queue_bounce_limit(BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) calls init_emergency_isa_pool() if
blk_max_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn. This is the case on UML, but
init_emergency_isa_pool() hits BUG_ON(!isa_page_pool) because there doesn't
seem to be a dma zone on UML for mempool_create() to allocate from.
Most architectures seem to have max_low_pfn == max_pfn, but UML doesn't
because of the uml_reserved chunk it keeps for itself. From what I can see,
max_pfn and max_low_pfn don't get much use after the bootmem-allocator stops
being used anyway, except that they initialize the block layer's
blk_max_low_pfn/blk_max_pfn.
This ensures init_emergency_isa_pool() doesn't crash uml in this situation by
setting max_low_pfn == max_pfn in mem_init().

Commit 62f96cb01e introduced per-devices
queues and locks, which was fine as far as it went, but left in place a
global which controlled access to submitting requests to the host. This
should have been made per-device as well, since it causes I/O hangs when
multiple block devices are in use.
This patch fixes that by replacing the global with an activity flag in the
device structure in order to tell whether the queue is currently being run.

This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size.
FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the

When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because
of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file. The

Running a probe on s390 with a probe address that is not 4 byte aligned
results in a Kernel BUG. The problem is that the stura instruction used
by swap_instruction requires the destination address to be 4 byte aligned.
As stura only writes 4 bytes, aligning to the next 4 byte aligned address
results in the breakpoint instruction being stored past the probe address.
The fix is to align the address backward (to the previous 4 byte aligned
address) and writing the two byte breakpoint instruction in the appropriate
bytes.

Ray Lee reported, that on an UP kernel with "noapic" command line option
set, the box locks hard during boot.
Adding some debug printks revealed, that the last action on the box
before stalling was "Send IPI" - a debug printk which was put into
smp_send_timer_broadcast_ipi().
It seems that send_IPI_mask(mask, LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR) fails when
"noapic" is set on the command line on an UP kernel.
Aside of that it does not make much sense to trigger an interrupt
instead of calling the function directly on the CPU which gets the
PIT/HPET interrupt in case of broadcasting.

The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States. This is handled by
the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment
code.
Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch
into deeper C-States behind the kernels back. This delays the local apic
timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable.
Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi
quirk for known broken systems.

While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic

The PIT has no dedicated mode for shut down. The only way to disable PIT
is to put it into one shot mode. AMD implementations of PIT on Geode
(also observed on Cyrix) are confused by an "empty" transition from
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN, which puts the PIT
into one shot mode momentarily.
I realized after staring helpless at the bug report
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 for quite a while, that
the only change, which might influence the bogomips calibration, is the
above transition during the PIT initialization.
Avoiding the unnecessary switch to oneshot and later to periodic mode
fixes the weird bogomips value and also the resulting slowness.
The fix is confirmed on OLPC and another Geode based box.
Note: this is unrelated to the Dual Core problem discussed here:

We have seen bad_pte_print when testing crashdump on an SN machine in
recent 2.6.20 kernel. There are tons of bad pte print (pfn < max_low_pfn)
reports when the crash kernel boots up, all those reported bad pages
are inside initmem range; That is because if the crash kernel code and
data happens to be at the beginning of the 1st node. build_node_maps in
discontig.c will bypass reserved regions with filter_rsvd_memory. Since
min_low_pfn is calculated in build_node_map, so in this case, min_low_pfn
will be greater than kernel code and data.
Because pages inside initmem are freed and reused later, we saw
pfn_valid check fail on those pages.
I think this theoretically happen on a normal kernel. When I check
min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation in contig.c and discontig.c.
I found more issues than this.
1. min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is inconsistent between
contig.c and discontig.c,
min_low_pfn is calculated as the first page number of boot memmap in
contig.c (Why? Though this may work at the most of the time, I don't
think it is the right logic). It is calculated as the lowest physical
memory page number bypass reserved regions in discontig.c.
max_low_pfn is calculated include reserved regions in contig.c. It is
calculated exclude reserved regions in discontig.c.
2. If kernel code and data region is happen to be at the begin or the
end of physical memory, when min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is
bypassed kernel code and data, pages in initmem will report bad.
3. initrd is also in reserved regions, if it is at the begin or at the
end of physical memory, kernel will refuse to reuse the memory. Because
the virt_addr_valid check in free_initrd_mem.
So it is better to fix and clean up those issues.

When PM-Timer is available for local APIC timer calibration we can skip the
verification of the calibrated time value. The resulting error is quite
small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the
observed false positives.
We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to
avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10,
which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel
configuration.
The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to
emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard. This
prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to
calibrate the local APIC timer. Unfortunately we have no way to disable
this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process.
