2009-11-24[CPUFREQ] Enable ACPI PDC handshake for VIA/Centaur CPUsHarald Welte
In commit 0de51088e6a82bc8413d3ca9e28bbca2788b5b53, we introduced the use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for VENDOR_INTEL. However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq. Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's. The resulting behavior of a current mainline kernel on such systems is: acpi-cpufreq loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes. However, the CPU stays at a single frequency This trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.

Rather than forcing GFP flags and DMA mask to be inconsistent, GFP flags should be determined even for the fallback device through dma_alloc_coherent_mask()/dma_alloc_coherent_gfp_flags(). This restores 64-bit behavior as it was prior to commits 8965eb19386fdf5ccd0ef8b02593eb8560aa3416 and 4a367f3a9dbf2e7ffcee4702203479809236ee6e (not sure why there are two of them), where GFP_DMA was forced on for 32-bit, but not for 64-bit, with the slight adjustment that afaict even 32-bit doesn't need this without CONFIG_ISA.

2009-11-05x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend.Chris Lalancette
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return value because of integer promotion rules. For the most part, this doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however, that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is probably not what the caller intended. This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend). This fixes booting certain guests under KVM. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val which is the correct value.
