Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch
6ba1b91213e81aa92b5cf7539f7d2a94ff54947c as sys_nanosleep() was moved to
hrtimer. This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer
tree for next event.
Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event
was supposed to happen. At least ARM and S390 currently use
next_timer_interrupt().

This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given mm
and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task size to
decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread flags (which
broke when ptracing).
(akpm: I expect that mm_struct.task_size will become the way in which we
finally sort out the confusion between 32-bit processes and 32-bit mm's. It
may need tweaks, but at this stage this patch is powerpc-only.)

Before the merge I updated create_pte_mapping() to work for iSeries, by
calling iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert. (4c55130b2aa93370f1bf52d2304394e91cf8ee39)
Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called
that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping)
(3c726f8dee6f55e96475574e9f645327e461884c).
Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute
address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This
leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is
seriously bogus.
This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation
can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout
of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others.
The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For
2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an
address.

Some hotplug driver functions were migrated to the kernel for use by EEH
in commit 2bf6a8fa21570f37fd1789610da30f70a05ac5e3.
Previously, the PCI Hotplug module had been changed to use the new
OFDT-based PCI probe when appropriate:
5fa80fcdca9d20d30c9ecec30d4dbff4ed93a5c6
When rpaphp_pci_config_slot() was moved from the rpaphp driver to the
new kernel function pcibios_add_pci_devices(), the OFDT-based probe
stuff was dropped. This patch restores it.

A recent change requires cpu_possible_map to be initialized before
smp_sched_init() but most MIPS platforms were initializing their
processors in the prom_prepare_cpus callback of smp_prepare_cpus. The
simple fix of calling prom_prepare_cpus from one of the earlier SMP
initialization hooks doesn't work well either since IPIs may require
init_IRQ() to have completed, so bit the bullet and split
prom_prepare_cpus into two initialization functions, plat_smp_setup
which is called early from setup_arch and plat_prepare_cpus called where
prom_prepare_cpus used to be called.

The change to kernel/sched.c's init code to use for_each_cpu()

Commit 9c869edac591977314323a4eaad5f7633fca684f broke voyager again
rather subtly because it already had its own topology exporting
functions, so now each CPU gets registered twice.
I think we can actually use the generic ones, so I don't propose
reverting it. The attached should eliminate the voyager topology
functions in favour of the generic ones.
I also added a define to ensure voyager is never hotplug CPU (we don't
have the support in the SMP harness).

The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't
work out very well. In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often
don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless. There were also
some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all.
I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other
things but they didn't really work well neither.
I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is
actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems. We just
turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC.
I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there. In fact it worked
on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on.
According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the
IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the
old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64).
But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change:
- Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254
and IO-APIC setup everywhere
- Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254
- Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets
- Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia)
In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because
it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe
timer or not.
This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early.
This fixes a couple of problems:
- apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was
set up time_init_gtod too late.
- The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading
because time_init_gtod could actually change it later. Now always
print the final timer choice

This makes x86-64 use the common X86_PM_TIMER Kconfig entry in drivers/acpi
And since PM timer is needed for correct timing on a lot of systems
now (e.g. AMD dual cores) and we often get bug reports from people
who forgot to set it make it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. x86-64 had
this change before and it's a good thing.
I also fixed the description slightly to make this more clear.

[description from AK]
This fixes booting in APIC mode on some ACER laptops. x86-64
did a similar change some time ago.

assumption on IBM systems
Big Unisys systems have multiple clusters too, but they have an
synchronized TSC.
I'm using the SMBIOS to check for vendor == IBM.

In previous versions of pci-gart.c, no_iommu was used to determine if IOMMU was
disabled in the GART DMA mapping functions. This changed in 2.6.16 and now
gart_xxx() functions are only called if gart is enabled. Therefore, uses of
no_iommu in the GART code are no longer necessary and can be removed.
Also, it removes double deceleration of no_iommu and force_iommu in pci.h and
proto.h, by removing the deceleration in pci.h.
Lastly, end_pfn off by one error.
Tested (along with patch 1/2) on dual opteron with gart enabled, iommu=soft,
and iommu=off.

Commit 9c869edac591977314323a4eaad5f7633fca684f moved the i386 topology.c
file. That change broke x86-64 compiles, as it uses the same file.

mem= command line option was being ignored in arch/powerpc if we were not
a CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM (which is handled via prom_init stub). The initial
command line extraction and parsing needed to be moved earlier in the boot
process and have code to actual parse mem= and do something about it.
Also, fixed a compile warning in the file.

When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel
build. This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail. In addition,
on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to
reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall
in topology.c which calls register_cpu. This causes a kernel panic on boot
on newer Intel processors. Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes
both of these problems.
Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition. The name.
Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.
Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
because it would break the ABI. But the fact remains that some application
might want this behavior.
We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
behavior could be invoked.
I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the
parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this. Can we
get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the
syscall API?

Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

Right at the moment (thanks to a patch from Andrew), cpu_possible_map on
voyager is CPU_MASK_NONE, which means the machine always thinks it has no
CPUs. Fix that by doing an early initialisation of the cpu_possible_map
from the cpu_phys_present_map.

Fix a problem seen on i686 machine with NX support where the instruction
could not be single stepped because of NX bit set on the memory pages
allocated by kprobes module. This patch provides allocation of instruction
solt so that the processor can execute the instruction from that location
similar to x86_64 architecture. Thanks to Bibo and Masami for testing this
patch.
