      virtio: remove overzealous BUG_ON. · 2557a933
      Rusty Russell authored
      The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host
      we don't need callbacks now.  As it is not reliable, the debug check is
      overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time.  Document this.
      
      Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable
      callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance
      protection can be easily tripped even on UP.
      
      Thanks to Balaji Rao for the bug report and testing.

      x86: fix 64-bit asm NOPS for CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU · 871de939
      Suresh Siddha authored
      ASM_NOP's for 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is broken
      with the recent x86 nops merge. They were using GENERIC_NOPS
      which will truncate the upper 32bits of %rsi, because of the missing
      64bit rex prefix.
      
      For now, fall back ASM NOPS for generic cpu to K8 NOPS, similar
      to the code before the wrong x86 nop merge.
      
      This should resolve the crash seen by Ingo on a test-system:

      x86: fix call to set_cyc2ns_scale() from time_cpufreq_notifier() · 4f41c94d
      Karsten Wiese authored
      In time_cpufreq_notifier() the cpu id to act upon is held in freq->cpu. Use it
      instead of smp_processor_id() in the call to set_cyc2ns_scale().
      This makes the preempt_*able() unnecessary and lets set_cyc2ns_scale() update
      the intended cpu's cyc2ns.

      it has been identified to cause suspend regression - and the
      commit fixes a longstanding bug that existed before 2.6.25 was
      opened - so it can wait some more until the effects are better
      understood.
