When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not
only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves
back down the stack frame. It must always grow up (toward older stack
frames).
I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely
unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
pointer chain.
This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of
the other stack unwinding code.

The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped
working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU!
The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8.

a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is
on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never
restores it ...
and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all
inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this
bug too.

Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(),
causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like
eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
eth0: found link beat
eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected
eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
...
Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said:
"Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the
Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic
_before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is
masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not
cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt).
So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,
because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while
you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,
and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point
instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a
self-IPI."
This trivial patch solves the problem.

Timer overrides are normally disabled on Nvidia board because
they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support.
Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that
don't have HPET, but need a timer override.
We don't know yet how to handle this transparently,
but at least add a command line option to force the timer override
and let them boot.

This refactoring actually optimizes the code a little by caching the value
that we think the device is programmed with instead of reading it back from
the hardware. Which simplifies the code a little and should speed things up a
bit.
This patch introduces the concept of a ht_irq_msg and modifies the
architecture read/write routines to update this code.
There is a minor consistency fix here as well as x86_64 forgot to initialize
the htirq as masked.

If the microcode driver is built in (rather than module) there are some,
ehm, interesting effects happening due to the new "call out to userspace"
behavior that is introduced.. and which runs too early. The result is a
boot hang; which is really nasty.
The patch below is a minimally safe patch to fix this regression for 2.6.19
by just not requesting actual microcode updates during early boot. (That
is a good idea in general anyway)
The "real" fix is a lot more complex given the entire cpu hotplug scenario
(during cpu hotplug you normally need to load the microcode as well); but
the interactions for that are just really messy at this point; this fix at
least makes it work and avoids a full detangle of hotplug.

Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we
need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it.
The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which
case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word
doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

This avoids some problems with gcc 4.x and earlier generating
invalid unwind information. In 4.1 the option is default
when unwind information is enabled.
And it seems to generate smaller code too, so it's probably
a good thing on its own. With gcc 4.0:
i386:
4683198 902112 480868 6066178 5c9002 vmlinux (before)
4449895 902112 480868 5832875 5900ab vmlinux (after)
x86-64:
4939761 1449584 648216 7037561 6b6279 vmlinux (before)
4854193 1449584 648216 6951993 6a1439 vmlinux (after)
On 4.1 it shouldn't make much difference because it is
default when unwind is enabled anyways.

Interrupts must be disabled during alternative instruction patching. On
systems with high timer IRQ rates, or when running in an emulator, timing
differences can result in random kernel panics because of running partially
patched instructions. This doesn't yet fix NMIs, which requires extricating
the patch code from the late bug checking and is logically separate (and also
less likely to cause problems).

Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.
The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.
This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

Problem:
New Dell PowerEdge servers have 2 embedded ethernet ports, which are
labeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and
in the printed documentation. Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports
in the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1
respectively. Many people have come to expect this naming. Linux 2.6
kernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from
expectations). I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers
have similar behavior.
Root cause:
Linux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be
sorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,
which most often is breadth-first also). 2.6 kernels have both the
pci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter
is what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this
klist happens to be in depth-first order.
On systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a
lower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2's bridge is discovered first in
the depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1. If the
list were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.
A PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily
exhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device
lists.
-[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub
+-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)
+-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)
Other factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of
PCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate
this problem; I'm not trying to solve those here, just restore the
device order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.
Solution:
The solution can come in multiple steps.
Suggested fix #1: kernel
Patch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first
ordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels. It adds two new
command line options:
pci=bfsort
pci=nobfsort
to force the sort order, or not, as you wish. It also adds DMI checks
for the specific Dell systems which exhibit "backwards" ordering, to
make them "right".
Suggested fix #2: udev rules from userland
Many people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always
discovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).
Using the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it's easy to
determine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot
they're in. I'm working on a tool that would allow udev to name
ethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,
subsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first. It'll be possible to use it
independent of udev as well for those distributions that don't use
udev in their installers.
Suggested fix #3: system board routing rules
One can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2
regardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order. This adds
a significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be
possible in all instances (witness the above systems from several
major manufacturers). I don't want to encourage this particular train
of thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.
Feedback appreciated. Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade
with 2.6.18.
You'll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist
abstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm. I think
that's both safe and appropriate in this instance.

pci_fixup_video turns into generic code because there are many platforms need this fixup
for embedded VGA as well as x86. The Video BIOS integrates into System BIOS on a machine
has embedded VGA although embedded VGA generally don't have PCI ROM. As a result,
embedded VGA need the way that the sysfs rom points to the Video BIOS of System
RAM (0xC0000). PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture specification describes the condition whether
or not PCI ROM forwards VGA compatible memory address. fixup_video suits this specification.
Although the Video ROM generally implements in x86 code regardless of platform, some
application such as X Window System can run this code by dosemu86. Therefore,
pci_fixup_video should turn into generic code.

Avoid possible PIT livelock issues seen on SMP systems (and reported by
Andi), by not allowing it as a clocksource on SMP boxes.
However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle
the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC.
Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again. So this
changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0.
Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems:
tsc [if present & stable]
hpet [if present]
cyclone [if present]
acpi_pm [if present]
pit [if UP]
jiffies
Rather then the current more complicated:
tsc [if present & stable]
hpet [if present]
cyclone [if present]
acpi_pm [if present]
pit [if cpus < 4]
tsc [if present & unstable]
jiffies

The Linux group at Stratus Technologies has come across an issue with SCI
routing under ACPI. We were bitten by this when we made an x86_64 platform
whose BIOS provides an Interrupt Source Override for the SCI itself.
Apparently the override has no effect for the System Control Interrupt, and
this appears to be because of the way the SCI is setup in the ACPI code.
It does not handle the case where busirq != gsi.
The code that sets up the SCI routing assumes that bus irq == global irq.
So there is simply no provision for telling it otherwise. The attached
patch provides this mechanism.
This patch provided by David Bulkow, was tested on an i386 platform, which
does not use the SCI override, and also on an x86_64 platform which does
use an override.

With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.
One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.

Apparently whoever converted voyager never actually checked that the
patch would compile ...
Remove as much of the pt_regs references as possible and move the
remaining ones into line with what's in x86 generic.

The implementation of genirq in x86 completely broke voyager (and
presumably visws). Since it's plugged into so much of the x86
infrastructure, you can't expect it to work unconverted.
This patch introduces a voyager IRQ handler type and switches voyager
to the genirq infrastructure.

Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism
with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait
is:
int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);
The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait. For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:

Makes UML compile on any possible processor choice. The two problems were:
*) x86 code, when 386 is selected, checks at runtime boot_cpuflags, which we do
not have.
*) 3Dnow support for memcpy() et al. does not compile currently and fixing this
is not trivial, so simply disable it; with this change, if one selects MK7
UML compiles (while it did not).

Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to
offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns). The unintended
impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead
of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. As a result, the
the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.
The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses
symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using
arch-independent zone-sizing. Two users have successfully booted their
powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4). It has also been boot tested on x86,
x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.
Credit to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for identifying the bug and rolling the
first fix. Additional credit to Johannes Berg and Andreas Schwab for
reporting the problem and testing on powerpc.

Which vector an irq is assigned to now varies dynamically and is
not needed outside of io_apic.c. So remove the possibility
of accessing the information outside of io_apic.c and remove
the silly macro that makes looking for users of irq_vector
difficult.
The fact this compiles ensures there aren't any more pieces
of the old CONFIG_PCI_MSI weirdness that I failed to remove.

In commit ace80ab796ae30d2c9ee8a84ab6f608a61f8b87b I removed the weird
logic that used the vector number as the irq number when MSI was
defined. However pci_enable_irq was using a different test in the
io_apic_assign_irqs path and I missed it :(
This patch removes the wrong code so no one hits this problem.
This code is only active when a specific set of boot command line
parameters is specified which likely explains why no one has notices
this earlier.
