The implementation comes from Zach's [RFC, PATCH 10/24] i386 Vmi
descriptor changes:
Descriptor and trap table cleanups. Add cleanly written accessors for
IDT and GDT gates so the subarch may override them. Note that this
allows the hypervisor to transparently tweak the DPL of the descriptors
as well as the RPL of segments in those descriptors, with no unnecessary
kernel code modification. It also allows the hypervisor implementation
of the VMI to tweak the gates, allowing for custom exception frames or
extra layers of indirection above the guest fault / IRQ handlers.

I've noticed some erratic behavior while testing the X86_64 version
of monotonic_clock().
While spinning in a loop reading monotonic clock values (pinned to a
single cpu) I noticed that the difference between subsequent values
occasionally went negative (time going backwards).
I found that in the following code:
this_offset = get_cycles_sync();
/* FIXME: 1000 or 1000000? */
--> offset = (this_offset - last_offset)*1000 / cpu_khz;
}
return base + offset;
the offset sometimes turns out to be 0, even though
this_offset > last_offset.
+Added fix From: Toyo Abe <toyoa@mvista.com>
The x86_64-mm-monotonic-clock.patch in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 made a change to
the updating of monotonic_base. It now uses cycles_2_ns().
I suggest that a set_cyc2ns_scale() should be done prior to the setup_irq().
Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0
is enabled.

This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section,
since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry,
that must be marked unsafe as well.
This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous"
for kprobes section.
AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert
AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in.
+From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to
do a .previous at the end of the function.
Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for
example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code
into .fixup. Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with
the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup). It's
surprising this didn't cause more havok.
The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests
properly. A further cleanup would be to get rid of all
.section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile.
+From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>
Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to
entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well.
The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry
point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same
section.
Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes
sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

We have a test that looks for invalid pairings of certain athlon/durons
that weren't designed for SMP, and taint accordingly (with 'S') if we find
such a configuration. However, this test shouldn't fire if there's only
a single CPU present. It's perfectly valid for an SMP kernel to boot on UP
hardware for example.

Fix a very dubious piece of code in
arch/i386/kernel/cpu/common.c:cpu_init(). This clears out %fs and
%gs, but clobbers %eax in the process without telling gcc. It turns
out that gcc happens to be not using %eax at that point anyway so it
doesn't matter much, but it looks like a bomb waiting to go off.
This does end up saving an instruction, because gcc wants %eax==0 for
the set_debugreg()s below.

Following x86-64 patches. Reuses code from them in fact.
Convert the standard backtracer to do all output using
callbacks. Use the x86-64 stack tracer implementation
that uses these callbacks to implement the stacktrace interface.
This allows to use the new dwarf2 unwinder for stacktrace
and get better backtraces.

This unifies the standard backtracer and the new stacktrace
in memory backtracer. The standard one is converted to use callbacks
and then reimplement stacktrace using new callbacks.
The main advantage is that stacktrace can now use the new dwarf2 unwinder
and avoid false positives in many cases.
I kept it simple to make sure the standard backtracer stays reliable.

Lockdep can call the dwarf2 unwinder early, and the dwarf2 code
uses safe_smp_processor_id which tries to access the local APIC page.
But that doesn't work before the APIC code has set up its fixmap.
Check for this case and always return boot cpu then.

The new dwarf2 unwinder needs to take locks to do backtraces

stacktrace is not reentered.

Introduce new function verify_bit_range(). Define two versions, one

incurs an unnecessary penalty on non debug builds.

I think it was only needed for the printks and we can do them later.
I put in a single early_printk so that we know the kernel is alive

Instead of hackish manual parsing
Requires earlier i386 patchkit, but also fixes i386 early_printk again.
I removed some obsolete really early parameters which didn't do anything useful.
Also made a few parameters that needed it early (mostly oops printing setup)
Also removed one panic check that wasn't visible without
early console anyways (the early console is now initialized after that
panic)
This cleans up a lot of code.

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.
This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:
1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/
2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone
actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]
3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h
4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).
5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
except one where it has subtle humor value.

We currently assume that boot parameters which are handled by
early_param() will not overlap boot parameters handled by __setup: if
they do, behaviour is dependent on link order, usually meaning __setup
will not get called.
ACPI wants to use early_param("pci"), and pci uses __setup("pci="), so
we modify the core to let them coexist: "pci=noacpi" will now get
passed to both.
