New file - asm-generic/signal.h. Contains declarations of
__sighandler_t, __sigrestore_t, SIG_DFL, SIG_IGN, SIG_ERR and default
definitions of SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK and SIG_SETMASK.
asm-*/signal.h switched to including it. The only exception is
asm-parisc/signal.h that wants its own declaration of __sighandler_t;
that one is left as-is.
asm-ppc64/signal.h required one more thing - unlike everybody else it
used __sigrestorer_t instead of usual __sigrestore_t. PPC64 switched to
common spelling.

The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.
Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too. So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.

The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.
The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
on bootloader-setup code interface.
Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.
Tested on:
* grub booting bzImage
* lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
* pxeboot of bzImage
Side-effect:
bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

The recent support for K8 multicore was misported from x86-64 to i386, due
to an unnecessary inconsistency between the CPUID code. Sure, there is are
no x86-64 VIA chips yet, but it should happen eventually.
This patch fixes the i386 bug as well as makes x86-64 match i386 in the
handing of the CPUID array.

A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the
check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing.
I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the
recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a
problem. Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally
passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the
callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they
have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails
out.
On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is
also bougs... by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the
NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs. Its just that the test is
being done too early.
I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always
too early. I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine
via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.

This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of
crufty code. It also should plug some races that the old hackish way
introduces. Remove one old race workaround in NMI watchdog setup that is not
needed anymore.
I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code. The brag value of
BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market.
Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is
there now.
One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before. The
old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later. Instead the TSC of the
BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate.
akpm:
- sync_tsc_bp_init seems to have the sense of `init' inverted.
- SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated - use DEFINE_SPINLOCK.

Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying
the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo.
It adds two new fields "core id" and "cpu cores" to x86 /proc/cpuinfo and the
"core id" field for x86_64("cpu cores" field is already present in x86_64).
Number of processor cores in a die is detected using cpuid(4) and this is
documented in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual (vol 2a)
(http://developer.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/index_new.htm#sdm_vol2a)
This patch also adds cpu_core_map similar to cpu_sibling_map.

Calling a notifier three times in the debug handler does not make much sense,
because a debugger can figure out the various conditions by itself. Remove
the additional calls to DIE_DEBUG and DIE_DEBUGSTEP completely.
This matches what i386 does now.
This also makes sure interrupts are always still disabled when calling a
debugger, which prevents:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: tpopf/1470
caller is post_kprobe_handler+0x9/0x70

on preemptible debug kernels with kprobes when single stepping in user space.
This was probably a bug even on non preempt kernels, this function was
supposed to be running with interrupts off according to a comment there.
Note to third part debugger maintainers: please double check your debugger can
still single step.

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!
