      [PATCH] x86-64 architecture specific sync for 2.5.8 · 88e4bc32
      Andi Kleen authored
      This patch brings 2.5.8 in sync with the x86-64 2.4 development tree again
      (excluding device drivers)
      
      It has lots of bug fixes and enhancements. It only touches architecture
      specific files.
      
      - Sync with 2.5.8
      - SMP/APIC supported now.
      - Module loading works now.
      - Time keeping bugs fixed.
      - entry.S streamlined and some bugs fixed.
      - modify_ldt works now
      - mostly rewritten FPU support (including FXRSTOR for initial FPU
        initialization based on the initial state)
      - 32bit emulation enhanced and bugs fixed.
      - rewrote mm initialization and lots of cleanups in the page table handling
        __PAGE_OFFSET is now moved to 0x10000000000 and some vmalloc/ioremap
        problems have been fixed. They have an own PML4 slot now.
      - WCHAN reporting support for RIP (but not RSP)
      - Lots of various other bug fixes and cleanups.
      
      Currently broken:
      - ACPI
      - MTRR
      
      It needs some other bugfixes outside architecture specific code. I sent
      them all in separate mail.

      [PATCH] Fix console initialization deadlock for x86-64 · 61aacaa2
      Andi Kleen authored
      When vt_init happens to run before the keyboard is initialized (the order is random
      because they're both different initcalls) then set_leds raises an not yet enabled
      tasklet. This causes an endless loop on the first schedule() call because the tasklet
      handling cannot handle raised but disabled tasklets.
      
      This patch just does not do set_leds in virtual terminal initialization to avoid that.
      It is done later anyways.

      [PATCH] 1096/3: trizeps PCMCIA support · fd014d52
      Guennadi Liakhovetski authored
      (a minor fix to the previous version - 1096/2)
      The enclosed patch includes trizeps-specific PCMCIA code. All
      modifications are enclosed in
      #ifdef CONFIG_SA1100_TRIZEPS
      #endif
      blocks or are linked as
      +sa1100_cs-objs-        += sa1100_trizeps.o
      so, other platforms remain unaffected. The patch is built against
      2.5.6-rmk1.

      [PATCH] SSE related security hole · af9086a7
      Brian Gerst authored
      Initialize the saved FPU/XMM state in the task struct and fall through
      to restore_fpu() to make sure that all state is fully initialized.
      
      This means that old SSE/SSE2 information cannot ever leak into newly
      created processes.

      [PATCH] ide updates · 0540fcdf
      Jens Axboe authored
       - (tcq, general) Remove the 'attempt to keep queue full option'. It worked
         on some IBM models, but failed miserably on others. Also removes some
         uglies in ide_queue_commands()
      
       - (tcq0 Change default depth back to 32.
      
       - (general) Add isr for no-dataphase taskfile, like task_no_data_intr but
         doesn't complain about failure. This is handy for commands what we _know_
         will fail, such as WIN_NOP.
      
       - (general) ide_cmd_type_parser() must set a handler to WIN_NOP... Otherwise
         we will just hang the ide system issuing a nop.
      
       - (general) HWGROUP(drive)->rq->special -> IDE_CUR_AR(drive)
      
       - (general) Have ide_raw_taskfile() copy back the taskfile after execution,
         otherwise we cannot use the info that ide_end_drive_cmd() puts in
         there.
      
       - (tcq) Use nIEN bit correctly in ide-tcq
      
       - (tcq) Small ide_tcq_wait_altstat() changes. Do initial 400ns delay (1us
         here), then 10us each successive run.
      
       - (tcq) Add beginning for 'nop auto poll' support check.
      
       - (tcq) Arm handler before GET_STAT() service check in
         ide_dma_queued_start, WD seemed to trigger interrupt before that.
         Makes WD Expert drives work with tcq.

      Fix drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/Makefile for building a modular aic7xxx driver · 2b31db8a
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      Use the (well, one) standard way to build a multi-part module. 
      Standard except for that we build aix7xxx_mod.o but then rename it
      at modules_install time (just as it was before).

      [PATCH] more migration thread cleanups · b85f47ad
      Erich Focht authored
      I'm currently working on a node affine scheduler extension for NUMA
      machines and the load balancer behaves a bit different from the original.
      So after a few boot failures with those slowly booting 16 CPU IA64
      machines I thought there must be a simpler solution than synchronizing and
      waiting for the load balancer: just let migration_CPU0 do what it is
      designed for. So my proposal is:
         - start all migration threads on CPU#0
         - initialize migration_CPU0 (trivial, reliable, as it already is on
           the right CPU)
         - let all other migration threads use set_cpus_allowed() to get to the
           right place
      
      The only synchronization needed is the non-zero migration threads waiting
      for migration_CPU0 to start working, which it will, as it is already on
      the right CPU. This saves quite some lines of code.
      
      I first posted this to LKML on March 6th (BTW, the fix #1, too) and since
      then it was tested on several big NUMA platforms: 16 CPU NEC AzusA (IA64)
      (also known as HP rx....), up to 32 CPU SGI IA64, 16 CPU IBM NUMA-Q
      (IA32). No more lock-ups at boot since then. So I consider it working.
      
      There is another good reason for this approach: the integration of the CPU
      hotplug patch with the new scheduler becomes easier. One just needs to
      create the new migration thread, it will move itself to the right CPU
      without any additional magic (which you otherwise need because of the
      synchronizations which won't be there at hotplug). Kimi Suganuma in the
      neighboring cube is fiddling this out currently.

      [PATCH] migration thread fix · 5cfceb83
      Robert Love authored
      Attached is a patch that disables interrupts while holding the rq_lock.
      This is certainly needed to prevent a race against the timer tick, as
      Erich Focht pointed out.

      - DEBUG_PARANOIA was bad. "if (debug > x) {" is nice;
      - state_check() now has only one return point;
      - try_get_rx_skb() cosmetic;
      - dscc4_rx_update() belongs to HOLD mode to LxDA changes;
      - dscc4_wait_ack_cec() behaves like dscc4_xpr_ack();
      - dscc4_rx_skb() refill logic is ready for LxDA mode and does everything
        to fulfill what its name suggests.
      - document some errata voodoo in dscc4_init_one();
      - dscc4_init_ring() should handle try_get_rx_skb() failure.
