d331e739f5 [PATCH] x86-64: Fix interrupt race in idle callback (3rd try)
Idle callbacks has some races when enter_idle() sets isidle and subsequent
interrupts that can happen on that CPU, before CPU goes to idle. Due to this,
an IDLE_END can get called before IDLE_START. To avoid these races, disable
interrupts before enter_idle and make sure that all idle routines do not
enable interrupts before entering idle.

Note that poll_idle() still has a this race as it has to enable interrupts
before going to idle. But, all other idle routines have the race fixed.

446f713ba1 [PATCH] unwinder: always use unlocked module list access in unwinder fallback
We're already well protected against module unloads because module
unload uses stop_machine(). The only exception is NMIs, but other

f3d73707a1 [PATCH] x86-64: Mark rdtsc as sync only for netburst, not for core2
On the Core2 cpus, the rdtsc instruction is not serializing (as defined
in the architecture reference since rdtsc exists) and due to the deep
speculation of these cores, it's possible that you can observe time go
backwards between cores due to this speculation. Since the kernel
already deals with this with the SYNC_RDTSC flag, the solution is
simple, only assume that the instruction is serializing on family 15...

The price one pays for this is a slightly slower gettimeofday (by a
dozen or two cycles), but that increase is quite small to pay for a
really-going-forward tsc counter.

b0d0a4ba45 [PATCH] x86: fix the irqbalance quirk for E7320/E7520/E7525
Move the irqbalance quirks for E7320/E7520/E7525(Errata 23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf) to early
quirks.

And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late
during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode.

This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which
selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata
workaround).

274e1bbdee [PATCH] x86: add write_pci_config_byte() to direct PCI access routines
Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on
x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working
around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision
ID 0x9 and below.  errata #23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf).

This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be
directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by
BIOS on these platforms).

Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and
forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms.

Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.

365bff806e [PATCH] i386: fix MTRR code
Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.

While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
  is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
  might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
  physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
  startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value
  in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get
  used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR)
- the generic range validation code checked that the end of the
  to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been
  the start of the range
- when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only
  when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new
  region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's
  documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also
  compatible with the respective opposite in the other

While not strictly required with the current code (as the upper half of
page table entries generated by __set_fixmap() cannot be non-zero due
to the second parameter of this function being 'unsigned long'), the
use of set_pte() in __set_fixmap() in the context of clear_fixmap() is
still improper with CONFIG_X86_PAE (see the respective comment in

103efcd9aa [PATCH] x86-64: fix perms/range of vsyscall vma in /proc/*/maps
The final line of /proc/<pid>/maps on x86_64 for native 64-bit
tasks shows an incorrect ending address and incorrect permissions.  There
is only a single page mapped in this vsyscall region, and it is accessible
for both read and execute.

The patch below fixes this.  (Since 32-bit-compat tasks have a real vma
with correct perms/range, no change is necessary for that scenario.)

Before the patch, a "cat /proc/self/maps | tail -1" shows this:

        ffffffffff600000-ffffffffffe00000 ---p 00000000 [...]

After the patch, this is the output:

        ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 [...]

c55d92d141 [PATCH] i386: Add support for compilation for Core2
gcc doesn't support -mtune=core2 yet, but will be soon. Use -mtune=generic or -mtune=i686
as fallback

TBD need benchmarking for INTEL_USERCOPY etc. So far I used the same defaults as MPENTIUMM

713819989a [PATCH] x86-64: Add option to compile for Core2
Add an option to compile for Intel's Core 2

The Kconfig help is a mouthful due to the inventiveness of Intel's
product naming department.

Mainly for the 64bit cache line sizes because gcc doesn't support
optimizing for core2 yet. However it will and then the kernel
should be ready by passing the right option

Also fix the old MPSC help text to confirm better to reality.

8542b200cb [PATCH] paravirt: Add option to allow skipping the timer check
Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option.  The
VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which
probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings.  It fires
100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using
a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs
have not yet been delivered.

In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug
could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter
SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs.

While here, make check_timer be __init.

bd472c794b [PATCH] paravirt: Be careful about touching BIOS address space
BIOS ROM areas may not be mapped into the guest address space, so be careful
when touching those addresses to make sure they appear to be mapped.

da181a8b39 [PATCH] paravirt: Add MMU virtualization to paravirt_ops
Add the three bare TLB accessor functions to paravirt-ops.  Most amusingly,
flush_tlb is redefined on SMP, so I can't call the paravirt op flush_tlb.
Instead, I chose to indicate the actual flush type, kernel (global) vs. user
(non-global).  Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page
table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not
global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is
confusingly overloaded.

AK: folded in fix from Zach for PAE compilation
