Ftrace depends on some processor state that we destroyed during kexec and
restored by restore_processor_state(). So save_processor_state() and
restore_processor_state() are moved into machine_kexec() and ftrace is
restored after restore_processor_state().

This is the minimal sequence that jams the allocator:
void *p, *q, *r;
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
q = alloc_bootmem(64);
free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE);
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
r = alloc_bootmem(64);
after this sequence (assuming that the allocator was empty or page-aligned
before), pointer "q" will be equal to pointer "r".
What's hapenning inside the allocator:
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains bits 10000...
q = alloc_bootmem(64);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 11000...
free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 01000...
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains 11000...
r = alloc_bootmem(64);
and now:
it finds bit "2", as a place where to allocate (sidx)
it hits the condition
if (bdata->last_end_off && PFN_DOWN(bdata->last_end_off) + 1 == sidx))
start_off = ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align);
-you can see that the condition is true, so it assigns start_off =
ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align); (that is PAGE_SIZE) and allocates
over already allocated block.
With the patch it tries to continue at the end of previous allocation only
if the previous allocation ended in the middle of the page.

Do we actually want these DirectMap lines in the x86 /proc/meminfo?
I can see they're interesting to CPA developers and TLB optimizers,
but they don't fit its usual "where has all my memory gone?" usage.
If they are to stay, here are some fixes.
1. On x86_32 without PAE, they're not 2M but 4M pages: no need to
mess with the internal enum, but show the right name to users.
2. Many machines can never show anything but 0 for DirectMap1G,
so suppress that line unless direct_gbpages are really enabled.
3. The unit in /proc/meminfo is kB not number of pages: HugePages
messed that up, but they're an example to regret not to follow.
4. Once we use kB, it's easy to see that 1GB has gone missing (which
explains why CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG=y soon wraps DirectMap2M negative):
because head_64.S's level2_ident_pgt entries were not counted.
My fix is not ideal, but works for more and for less than 1G,
and avoids interfering with early bootup pagetable contortions.

When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed
to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed.
Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush,
which can add dirty data back to the cache. On some AMD platforms,
additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because
of this dirty data.
Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before
halting. Tie into an assembly line so the compile will not
reorder it. Add some documentation explaining what is going

There's no guarantee that acpi_register_gsi() will return an IRQ

I have not seen a failure I can attribute to this. However,
ACPI_MAX_IRQS is only 256, and I'm pretty sure ia64 can have

When EC is in Polling mode, OS will check the EC status continually by using
the following source code:
clear_bit(EC_FLAGS_WAIT_GPE, &ec->flags);
while (time_before(jiffies, delay)) {
if (acpi_ec_check_status(ec, event))
return 0;
msleep(1);
}
But msleep is realized by the function of schedule_timeout. At the same time
although one process is already waken up by some events, it won't be scheduled
immediately. So maybe there exists the following phenomena:
a. The current jiffies is already after the predefined jiffies.
But before timeout happens, OS has no chance to check the EC
status again.
b. If preemptible schedule is enabled, maybe preempt schedule will happen
before checking loop. When the process is resumed again, maybe
timeout already happens, which means that OS has no chance to check
the EC status.
In such case maybe EC status is already what OS expects when timeout happens.
But OS has no chance to check the EC status and regards it as AE_TIME.
So it will be more appropriate that OS will try to check the EC status again
when timeout happens. If the EC status is what we expect, it won't be regarded
as timeout. Only when the EC status is not what we expect, it will be regarded
as timeout, which means that EC controller can't give a response in time.

Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
change its own flags in a different way at the same time.
__capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This
patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.
This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:
(1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one
process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
current is the parent.
(2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child.
In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.
Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
been changed to calls to capable().
Of the places that were using __capable():
(1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
process. All of these now use has_capability().
(2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above,
these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.
(3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().
(4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
switched and capable() is used instead.
(5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.
(6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.

AMD SB700 based systems with spread spectrum enabled use a SMM based
HPET emulation to provide proper frequency setting. The SMM code is
initialized with the first HPET register access and takes some time to
complete. During this time the config register reads 0xffffffff. We
check for max. 1000 loops whether the config register reads a non
0xffffffff value to make sure that HPET is up and running before we go
further. A counting loop is safe, as the HPET access takes thousands
of CPU cycles. On non SB700 based machines this check is only done
once and has no side effects.

For some reason we had two parsers registered for maxcpus=. One in init/main.c
and another in arch/x86/smpboot.c. So I nuked the one in arch/x86.
Also 64-bit kernels used to handle maxcpus= as documented in
Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt. CPUs with 'id > maxcpus' are initialized
but not booted. 32-bit version for some reason ignored them even though
all the infrastructure for booting them later is there.
In the current mainline both 64 and 32 bit versions are broken.
This patch restores the correct behaviour. I've tested x86_64 version on
4- and 8- way Core2 and 2-way Opteron based machines. Various config
combinations SMP, !SMP, CPU_HOTPLUG, !CPU_HOTPLUG.
Booted with maxcpus=1 and maxcpus=4, etc. Everything is working as expected.
So far we've received two reports from different people confirming that 32-bit
version also works fine, both on dual core laptops and 16way server machines.
