Here function vmi_activate calls a init function activate_vmi , which

Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs
rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.
So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
support it.

In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that
gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in
question. By swapping to PAGE_KERNEL_UC_MINUS, we can get the actual
behavior the caller wanted (WC if you can manage it, UC otherwise).
This recovers the 40% performance improvement of using WC in the DRM
to upload vertex data.

the RDC and ELAN platforms use slighly different PIT clocks, resulting in
a timex.h hack that changes PIT_TICK_RATE during build time. But if a
tester enables any of these platform support .config options, the PIT
will be miscalibrated on standard PC platforms.
So use one frequency - in a subsequent patch we'll add a quirk to allow
x86 platforms to define different PIT frequencies.

On -rt we were seeing spurious bad page states like:

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.
This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
union {
struct {
unsigned long private;
struct address_space *mapping;
};
spinlock_t ptl;
struct kmem_cache *slab;
struct page *first_page;
};
Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.
It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

> x86: track memtype for RAM in page struct
This commit breaks mapping any RAM page through /dev/mem, as the
reserve_memtype() was not initializing the return attribute type and as such
corrupting the PTE entry that was setup with the return attribute type.
Because of this bug, application mapping this RAM page through /dev/mem
will die with "Corrupted page table at address xxxx" message in the kernel
log and also the kernel identity mapping which maps the underlying RAM
page gets converted to UC.
Fix this by initializing the return attribute type before calling
reserve_ram_pages_type()

while looking at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because
the code is processed much too early.
This patch:
- Declares mtrr.show as early_param
- Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt
that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work
- Declares mtrr_show as initdata

Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

This reverts commit 4217458dafaa57d8e26a46f5d05ab8c53cf64191.
Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox
crashes.
The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.
So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.
Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit
usercopy.c in the same way.

Impact: fix crash with memory hotplug enabled
kernel_physical_mapping_init() is called during memory hotplug
so it does not belong in the init section.
If the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y on
the make command line, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c is compiled with
the -fno-inline-functions-called-once gcc option defeating
inlining of kernel_physical_mapping_init() within init_memory_mapping().
When kernel_physical_mapping_init() is not inlined it is placed
in the .init.text section according to the __init in it's current
declaration. A later call to kernel_physical_mapping_init() during
a memory hotplug operation encounters an int3 trap because the
.init.text section memory has been freed.
This patch eliminates the crash caused by the int3 trap by moving the
non-inlined kernel_physical_mapping_init() from .init.text to .meminit.text.

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c is still broken: there's no
allocation of the variable mask, so we pass in an uninitialized cmd.mask
field to drv_read(), which then passes it to the scheduler which then
crashes ...

Impact: use new work_on_cpu function to reduce stack usage
Replace the saving of current->cpus_allowed and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with

Basically converts do_drv_{read,write} into "work_on_cpu" functions that
are now called by drv_read and drv_write.

The goal of this is to pave the way of the removal of the apic_version[]

landscape of systems [if so we dont handle them very well and probably
never will handle deep apic version assymetries well], but it's prudent

Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the
subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over
the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to
calculate pte addresses).
This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot
process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number
of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't
show up the problem).
Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its
entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered
and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile
scheme ever breaks again...
Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap
trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes
potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early
ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by
early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration,
namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the
time the fixmap area page tables get constructed.
Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space
needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for
large CPU counts to actually boot.

this is what firmware actually presents.
This patch makes us look for the "slb-size" property as well and in
preference to the "ibm,slb-size". This should future proof us if

Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware
- RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls. Unfortunately, for unknown
reason these calls work only on CPU #0. So current implementation for
arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI.
However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard
get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with
disabled interrupts.
Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions,
not for individual CMOS accesses. Which is also a lot more effective
performance-wise.
The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook.
My changes:
- tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to
avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h;
- sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs).
NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers. Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver
wont't work on marvel. Actually I think that we should just disable
CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK,
all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

Recently introduced generic pci_common_swizzle() relies on bus->self
being NULL for the root PCI bus. But on nautilus bus->self points to
the host bridge device, which is necessary as we do a root bus sizing
on this system. As a result, pci_common_swizzle() loops infinitely.
This worked until 2.6.29-rc1 because the alpha-specific swizzle routine
checked for bus->parent == NULL (instead of bus->self).
Fixed by clearing bus->self after bus sizing is done.

init_srm_irq() deals with irq's #16 and above, but size of irq_desc
array on nautilus and some other system types is 16. So gcc-4.3
complains that "array subscript is above array bounds", even though
this function is never called on those systems.
This adds a check for NR_IRQS <= 16, which effectively optimizes
init_srm_irq() code away on problematic platforms.
Thanks to Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> for detailed analysis
of the problem.

This reverts commit 58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff, which
makes my Nehalem come to a nasty crawling almost-halt. It looks like it
turns off caching of regular kernel RAM, with the understandable
slowdown of a few orders of magnitude as a result.

Often the cause of kernel unaligned access warnings is not
obvious from just the ip displayed in the warning. This adds
the option via proc to dump the stack in addition to the warning.
The default is off (just display the 1 line warning). To enable

sched_clock() on ia64 is based on ar.itc, so is never
completely synchronized between cpus. On some platforms
(e.g. certain models of SGI Altix) it may be running at
radically different frequencies.
Based on a patch from Dimitri Sivanich which set this
just for SN2 && GENERIC kernels ... it is needed for
all ia64 machines.

Here X is trying to map first 8KB of memory using /dev/mem. Existing
code treats first 0-4KB of memory as non-RAM and 4KB-8KB as RAM. Recent
code changes don't allow to map memory with different attributes
at the same time.
Fix this by treating the first 1MB legacy region as special and always
track the attribute requests with in this region using linear linked
list (and don't bother if the range is RAM or non-RAM or mixed)
