With CONFIG_STACK_PROTECTOR turned on, VMI doesn't boot with
more than one processor. The problem is with the gs value not
being initialized correctly when registering the secondary
processor for VMI's case.
The patch below initializes the gs value for the AP to
__KERNEL_STACK_CANARY. Without this the secondary processor
keeps on taking a GP on every gs access.

In uv_setup_irq(), the call to create_irq() initially assigns
IRQ vectors to cpu 0. The subsequent call to
assign_irq_vector() in arch_enable_uv_irq() migrates the IRQ to
another cpu and frees the cpu 0 vector - at least it will be
freed as soon as the "IRQ move" completes.
arch_enable_uv_irq() needs to send a cleanup IPI to complete
the IRQ move. Otherwise, assignment of GRU interrupts on large
systems (>200 cpus) will exhaust the cpu 0 interrupt vectors
and initialization of the GRU driver will fail.

The latest Apple MacBook (MacBook5,2) doesn't reboot successfully
under Linux; neither the EFI reboot method nor the default method
using the keyboard controller works (the system just hangs and doesn't
reset). However, the method using the "PCI reset register" at 0xcf9
does work.
This adds a quirk to detect this machine via DMI and force the
reboot_type to BOOT_CF9. With this it reboots successfully without
requiring a command-line option. Note that the EFI code forces
reboot_type to BOOT_EFI when the machine is booted via EFI, but this
overrides that since the core_initcall runs after the EFI
initialization code.

Timer interrupts are excluded from being disabled during suspend. The
clock events code manages the disabling of clock events on its own
because the timer interrupt needs to be functional before the resume
code reenables the device interrupts.
The mfgpt timer request its interrupt without setting the IRQF_TIMER
flag so suspend_device_irqs() disables it as well which results in a
fatal resume failure.
Adding IRQF_TIMER to the interupt flags when requesting the mrgpt
timer interrupt solves the problem.

Vince suggested that this code was trying to address erratum
Y17 in Pentium-M's:
http://download.intel.com/support/processors/mobile/pm/sb/25266532.pdf
But that erratum (related to IA32_MISC_ENABLES.7) does not
affect perfcounters as we dont use this toggle to disable RDPMC
and WRMSR/RDMSR access to performance counters. We keep cr4's
bit 8 (X86_CR4_PCE) clear so unprivileged RDPMC access is not
allowed anyway.

Date: Tue Feb 19 03:21:20 2008 -0800
x86: multi pci root bus with different io resource range, on
64-bit
It turns out that:
1. that AMD-based systems have two HT chains.
2. BIOS doesn't allocate resources for BAR 6 of devices under 8132 etc
3. that multi-peer-root patch will try to split root resources to peer
root resources according to PCI conf of NB
4. PCI core assigns unassigned resources, but they overlap with BARs
that are used by ioapic addr of io4 and 8132.
The reason: at that point ioapic address are not inserted yet. Solution
is to insert ioapic resources into the tree a bit earlier.

The P6 doesn't seem to support cache ref/hit/miss counts, so
we extend the generic hardware event codes to have 0 and -1
mean the same thing as for the generic cache events.
Furthermore, it turns out the 0 event does not count
(that is, its reported that on PPro it actually does count
something), therefore use a event configuration that's
specified not to count to disable the counters.

This sparse warning:
arch/x86/kernel/amd_iommu.c:1195:23: warning: symbol 'device_nb' was not declared. Should it be static?

also addresses the sparse warning.
This sparse warning:
arch/x86/kernel/amd_iommu.c:1766:10: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
triggers because plain integer 0 is used in place of a NULL
pointer. change 0 to NULL to fix that - this also address the
sparse warning.
