2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: Don't assume future AMD CPUs have K8 compatible performance ↵	Andi Kleen
	counters The NMI watchdog code did this incorrectly Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: Make kernel math errors a die() now	Andi Kleen
	There were no reports about the previous warning for FPU exceptions in the kernel, so make it a die() now. Also improve the error messages slightly. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: Support constantly ticking TSCs	Andi Kleen
	On Intel Noconas the TSC ticks with a constant frequency. Don't scale the factor used by udelay when cpufreq changes the frequency. This generalizes an earlier patch by Intel for this.

2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: Fix a small missing schedule race	Andi Kleen
	Could lead to a lost reschedule event when the process already rescheduled on exception exit, and needs it again while still being in the kernel. Unlikely case though. Also remove one redundant cli in another entry.S path. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: Regularize exception stack handling	Andi Kleen
	This fixes various issues in the return path for "paranoid" handlers (= running on a private exception stack that act like NMIs). Generalize previous hack to switch back to process stack for scheduling/signal handling purposes.

2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: Call do_notify_resume unconditionally in entry.S	Andi Kleen
	This removes some unnecessary code in the assembly files. Matches i386 behaviour. In addition don't clear the work check mask after work has been done. This fixes some theoretical signal/other event losses. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

	single stepping Ported from i386/Linus Still won't handle other TF changing instructions like IRET or LAHF. Prefix handling must be double checked... Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: clean up ptrace single-stepping	Andi Kleen
	Ported from i386 (originally from Linus) clean up ptrace single-stepping, make PT_DTRACE exact. (This makes the naming of "DTRACE" purely historical, since on x86 it now means "single step in progress").

2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: Use a VMA for the 32bit vsyscall	Andi Kleen
	Use a real VMA to map the 32bit vsyscall page This interacts better with Hugh's upcomming VMA walk optimization Also removes some ugly special cases.

2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64 genapic update	Jason Davis
	x86_64 genapic mechanism should be aware of machines that use physical APIC mode regardless of how many clusters/processors are detected. ACPI 3.0 FADT makes this determination very simple by providing a feature flag "force_apic_physical_destination_mode" to state whether the machine unconditionally uses physical APIC mode. Unisys' next generation x86_64 ES7000 will need to utilize this FADT feature flag in order to boot the x86_64 kernel in the correct APIC mode. This patch has been tested on both x86_64 commodity and ES7000 boxes.

2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: disable interrupts during SMP bogomips checking	Andi Kleen
	Port over a i386 kludge from rusty to x86-64 I don't think it is a full solution, but the upcomming smp bootup rewrite will solve it. This fixes BUGs at bootup on bigger x86-64 systems.

2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86-64/i386: Revert cpuinfo siblings behaviour back to 2.6.10	Andi Kleen
	Only display physical id/siblings when there are siblings or dual core. In 2.6.11 I accidentially broke it and it was always displaying these fields But for compatibility to all these /proc parsers around it is better to do it in the old way again.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
