Instead of making init a two pass sequence, to satisfy the Intel's TLB
Application note (developer.intel.com/design/processor/applnots/317080.pdf
Section 6 page 26), we preserve the original page permissions
when fragmenting the large mappings and don't touch the existing memory
mapping (which satisfies Xen's requirements).
Only open issue is: on a native linux kernel, we will go back to mapping
the first 0-1GB kernel identity mapping as executable (because of the
static mapping setup in head_64.S). We can fix this in a different
patch if needed.

Track the memtype for RAM pages in page struct instead of using the
memtype list. This avoids the explosion in the number of entries in
memtype list (of the order of 20,000 with AGP) and makes the PAT
tracking simpler.
We are using PG_arch_1 bit in page->flags.
We still use the memtype list for non RAM pages.

Do a global flush tlb after splitting the large page and before we do the
actual change page attribute in the PTE.
With out this, we violate the TLB application note, which says
"The TLBs may contain both ordinary and large-page translations for
a 4-KByte range of linear addresses. This may occur if software
modifies the paging structures so that the page size used for the
address range changes. If the two translations differ with respect
to page frame or attributes (e.g., permissions), processor behavior
is undefined and may be implementation-specific."
And also serialize cpa() (for !DEBUG_PAGEALLOC which uses large identity
mappings) using cpa_lock. So that we don't allow any other cpu, with stale
large tlb entries change the page attribute in parallel to some other cpu
splitting a large page entry along with changing the attribute.

No alias checking needed for setting present/not-present mapping. Otherwise,
we may need to break large pages for 64-bit kernel text mappings (this adds to
complexity if we want to do this from atomic context especially, for ex:
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC). Let's keep it simple!

Don't use large pages for kernel identity mapping with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
This will remove the need to split the large page for the
allocated kernel page in the interrupt context.
This will simplify cpa code(as we don't do the split any more from the
interrupt context). cpa code simplication in the subsequent patches.

In the first pass, kernel physical mapping will be setup using large or
small pages but uses the same PTE attributes as that of the early
PTE attributes setup by early boot code in head_[32|64].S
After flushing TLB's, we go through the second pass, which setups the
direct mapped PTE's with the appropriate attributes (like NX, GLOBAL etc)
which are runtime detectable.
This two pass mechanism conforms to the TLB app note which says:
"Software should not write to a paging-structure entry in a way that would
change, for any linear address, both the page size and either the page frame
or attributes."

Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest,

Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I

DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first
invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here.

There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which
connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that
if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the
thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them
become 16 degrees Celsius). As a result, thermal throttling kicks in
and knock the system down to its shoes.
Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.
To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be
affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case).
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as
a regression from 2.6.26.

The Swarm IDE driver uses a release method which is defined in the driver
itself thus potentially oopsable. The simple fix would be to just leak

This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.
In addition this patch fixes also the following:
rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

Commit 00c5372d37 caused the MPC8544DS
board to hang at boot. The MPC8544DS is unique in that it doesn't use
the PCI slots on the ULI (unlike the MPC8572DS or MPC8610HPCD). So
the dummy read at the end of the address space causes us to hang.

Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch.
This patch makes a number of significant changes:
(1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from
the one for level-triggered interrupts.
This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's
interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to
assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in
the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when
we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not
GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register.
Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling
mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails
to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is
still asserting its interrupt line at this point.
(2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as
__do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but
according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do.
(5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than
handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on
masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is
sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end.
(6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and
there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the
same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is
masked.
Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same
as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead.
It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as
the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.
