Pull a Xen fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "It is a bug-fix when we run the initial PV guest on a AMD K8 machine
  and have CONFIG_AMD_NUMA enabled and detect the NUMA topology from the
  Northbridge.

  We end up in the situation where the initial domain gets too much
  information and gets confused and crashes - the fix is to restrict the
  domain to get the information - and we do it by just disabling NUMA on
  the PV guest (the hypervisor is still able to do its proper NUMA
  allocations of guests).

  It is OK to disable the PV guest from accessing NUMA data as right now
  we do not inject any NUMA node information to the PV guests.  When we
  do get to that point, then this patch will have to be reverted."

 * Disable PV NUMA support as we do not do anything with it (yet) and it
   can cause bootup crashes on certain AMD machines.

      Chris Metcalf authored 
      An ABI numbering change was made in the hypervisor for Tilera's 4.1
MDE release (just shipped).  It's incompatible with the previous 4.0
release ABI numbering, so we track the new numbering going forward.
We plan to avoid modifying ABI numbering for these interfaces again.

      xen/boot: Disable NUMA for PV guests. · 8d54db79
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored 
      The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
patches are not yet present.

In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:

"we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).

This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.

This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)

We have this dump then:

so we just disable NUMA scanning by setting numa_off=1.

      edac_mc: edac_mc_free() cannot assume mem_ctl_info is registered in sysfs. · faa2ad09
      Shaun Ruffell authored 
      Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on
system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1.

Since commit 7a623c03 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct
device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in
struct mem_ctl_info.  Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply
decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless
the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc().

Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has
been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device
release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic
pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc().

The BUG this patch resolves for me:

   431                  kfree(mci->csrows);
   432          }

and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory
leak, out-of-bound reads etc.):

L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be
      "row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or
      out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault
      error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses).

L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop,
      which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak.

L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in
      previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which
      means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the
      same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free
      for the kfree(csr) in L427.

L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory.

The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem
allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1
merge window. Fix it by freeing up resources in this order:

  free csrows[i]->channels[j]
  free csrows[i]->channels
  free csrows[i]
  free csrows
