When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This
means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an
unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.
A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this
constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.
Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

This patch cleans up the `enable early console for SKI' patch
(471e7a44848f467c9b83adc3463d019d2fa8817f), and
1. potentially allows the gensparse_defconfig to work again.
(there are other problems running a generic kernel on Ski)
2. fixes the `console registered twice' problem.
3. Cleans up the code by moving the `extern hpsim_cons' declaration to
a new asm/hpsim.h file.
Thanks to Jes for comments.

Fix handling for spurious interrupts not being mapped to any IRQs.
Currently, spurious interrupts that are not mapped to any IRQs are
handled as IRQ 15 (== IA64_SPURIOUS_VECTOR). But it is not proper
because vector != irq. We need special handlings for such spurious
interrupts not being mapped to any IRQs.

The core cpufreq code doesn't appear to understand returning -EAGAIN
for the get() function of the cpufreq_driver. If PAL_GET_PSTATE returns
-1, such as when running on Xen, scaling_cur_freq is happy to return
4294967285 kHz (ie. (unsigned)-11). The other drivers appear to return
0 for a failure, and doing so gives me the max frequency from
scaling_cur_frequency and "<unknown>" from cpuinfo_cur_frequency. I
believe that's the desired behavior.

Explicitly put the unwind section into its own program-header. This
used to be unnecessary (probably because binutils did it for us), but
with current binutils (e.g., v2.17.50.20070804) we won't get
the PT_IA_64_UNWIND header without this patch which will break
unwinding in a debugger and simulators such as Ski.

Add NOTES to linker script such that the kernel can be built with
recent versions of binutils. Without this patch, final link fails
with this error:
ld: .tmp_vmlinux1: section `.text' can't be allocated in segment 0
ld: final link failed: Bad value
This error is due to the fact that the --build-id option is used
with newer linkers to include a .notes section on the kernel, but
without the NOTES macro, that section won't be included in the kernel
which then leads to the above error message.

While sending interrupts to a cpu to repeatedly wake a thread, on occasion
that thread will take a full timer tick cycle (4002 usec in my case)
to wakeup.
The problem concerns a race condition in the code around the safe_halt()
call in the default_idle() routine. Setting 'nohalt' on the kernel
command line causes the long wakeups to disappear.
void
default_idle (void)
{
local_irq_enable();
while (!need_resched()) {
--> if (can_do_pal_halt)
--> safe_halt();
else
A timer tick could arrive between the check for !need_resched and the
actual call to safe_halt() (which does a pal call to PAL_HALT_LIGHT).
By the time the timer tick completes, a thread that might now need to run
could get held up for as long as a timer tick waiting for the halted cpu.
I'm proposing that we disable irq's and check need_resched again before
calling safe_halt(). Does anyone see any problem with this approach?

Make sure to reduce the rating of the ITC clock if ITCs are drifty. If they
are drifting then we have not synchronized the ITC values, nor are we doing
the jitter compensation (useless since drift may increase the differentials
arbitrarily).
Without this patch it is possible that the ITC clock becomes selected as
the system clock on systems with drifty ITCs which will result in
nanosleep hanging.
One can still select the itc clock manually on such systems via
clocksource=itc
(Produces nice hangs on SGI Altix.)

Fix the problem that interrupts are not initialized correctly at PCI
hotplug or driver reloading time.
By vector domain change, the iosapic_rte_info structure was changed to
be on the iosapic_intr_info[irq].rtes list even after the interrupts
are unregistered. So iosapic_intr_info[irq].rtes list must not be
checked to see if there are registered interrupts (RTEs) on the
irq. We must check iosapic_intr_info[irq].count counter instead.

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.
As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

u32* volatile cyclone_timer means volatile auto pointer to u32,
which is clearly not what had been intended (we never even take
the address of that variable, let alone pass it to something that
could change it behind our back). u32 volatile * is what the
authors apparently wanted to say, but in reality we don't need that
qualifier there at all - it's (properly) only passed to iomem helpers
which takes care of that stuff just fine.

I did it on purpose (and gave the warning a miss...) and I consider
iosapic_free_rte() is no longer needed.
I decided to remain iosapic_rte_info to keep gsi-to-irq binding
after device disable. Indeed it needs some extra memory, but it
is only "sizeof(iosapic_rte_info) * <the number of removed devices>"
bytes and has no memory leak becasue re-enabled devices use the
iosapic_rte_info which they used before disabling.

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once
wrote code like this:
struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };
And then his kernel exploded. Oops.
This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.
We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

If the kernel OOPSed or BUGed then it probably should be considered as
tainted. Thus, all subsequent OOPSes and SysRq dumps will report the
tainted kernel. This saves a lot of time explaining oddities in the
calltraces.

This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86.
Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new
sysctl. This patch adds the necessary documentation.
From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>
When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled
in an architecture-independent manner.
This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter. It is
only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing
(i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures will
ignore the boot parameter.
