In SLES10 (2.6.16) crash dumping (in my experience, LKCD) is unable to
capture the second page of the 2-page task/stack allocation.
This is particularly troublesome for dump analysis, as the stack traceback
cannot be done.
  (A similar convention is probably needed throughout the kernel to make
   kernel multi-page allocations detectable for dumping)

Multi-page kernel allocations are represented by the single page structure
associated with the first page of the allocation.  The page structures
associated with the other pages are unintialized.

If the dumper is selecting only kernel pages it has no way to identify
any but the first page of the allocation.

The fix is to make the task/stack allocation a compound page.

MPI programs using certain debug options have a long
startup time. This was traced to a "vmalloc/vfree" in
the code that reads /proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology. On large
systems, vfree requires an IPI to all cpus to do TLB
purging.

Replace the vmalloc/vfree with kmalloc/kfree. Although
the size of the structure being allocated is unknown, it
will not not exceed 96 bytes.

RECLAIM_DISTANCE is checked on bootup against the SLIT table distances.
Zone reclaim is important for system that have higher latencies but not for
systems that have multiple nodes on one motherboard and therefore low latencies.

We found that on motherboard latencies are typically 1 to 1.4 of local memory
access speed whereas multinode systems which benefit from zone reclaim have
usually more than 1.5 times the latency of a local access.

Set the reclaim distance for IA64 to 1.5 times.

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending.  This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.

This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.

The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.

This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.

I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.

Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.

Patch for both i386/x86-64.

The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.

This is CVE-2006-1056

- from the release of 2.6.16 till the release of 2.6.17:

  drivers for the same hardware
- after the release of 2.6.17 (and before 2.6.18):
  remove the subset of drivers marked at OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER without
  known regressions in the ALSA drivers for the same hardware

Additionally, correct some OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencies.

This fixes a hang in mpu401_uart.c that can occur when the mpu401 interface
is non-existent or otherwise doesn't respond to commands but we issue IO
anyway.  snd_mpu401_uart_cmd now returns an error code that is passed up
the stack so that an open() will fail immediately in such cases.

Eventually discovered after wine/cxoffice would constantly cause hard
lockups on my desktop immediately after loading (emulating Windows too
well).  Turned out that I'd recently moved my sound cards around and using
/dev/sequencer now talks to a sound card with a broken MPU.

This second version changes -EFAULT to -EIO and frees open resources on
error too.  Test booted and seems to work ok.

Fix for bug #6395:

Fail to resume on Tecra M2 with ADM1032 and Intel 82801DBM

The BIOS of the Tecra M2 doesn't like it when it has to reboot or resume
after the i2c-i801 driver has left the SMBus in PEC mode.  The most simple
fix is to clear the PEC bit after after every transaction.  That's what
this driver was doing up to 2.6.15 (inclusive).

On the MSI-K8T-NEO2 FIR ( Athlon-64, Socket 939 with VIA-K8T800- Chipset
and onboard Sound,...  ) the BIOS lets you choose "DISABLED" or "AUTO" for
the On-Board Sound Device.

If you add another PCI-Sound-Card the BIOS disables the on-board device.

So far I have a Quirk, that does set the correspondent BIT in the
PCI-registers to enable the soundcard.

But how to ensure that the code is executed ONLY on excactly this kind of
boards (not any other with similar Chipset)?
