lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't handle quite right. This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.

For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to be aligned to the size of a hugepage. In commit 68589bc3, the check for this was moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks. But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to commit 4b1d8929, prepare_hugepage_range() is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings. This means we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc and i386 at least. This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range() and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap(). I'm putting it there, rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2, TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems. ( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and printk-timestamps as well. ) Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise task statistics. the ACPI bits were acked by Len. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

With commit ab144f5e the patching code now collects the complete new instruction stream into a temp buffer before finally patching in the new insns. In some cases the paravirt patchers will choose to leave the patch site unpatched (length mismatch, clobbers mismatch, etc). This causes the new patching code to copy an uninitialized temp buffer, i.e. garbage, to the callsite. Simply make sure to always initialize the buffer with the original instruction stream. A better fix is to audit all the patchers and return proper length so that apply_paravirt() can skip copies when we leave the patch site untouched.

At least one machine has been identified in the field which advertises EDD for all drives but locks up if one attempts an extended read from a non-primary drive. The MBR is always at CHS 0-0-1, so there is no reason to use an extended read, other than the possibility that the BIOS cannot handle it. Although this might break as many machines as it fixes (a small number either way), the current state is a regression but the reverse is not. Therefore revert to the previous state of not using extended read. Quite probably the Right Thing to do is to read using plain (CHS) read and extended read on failure, but that change would definitely have to go through -mm first. Signed-off-by: NH.

The new percpu code has apparently broken the doublefault handler when CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is set. Doublefault is handled by a hardware task, making the check SPIN_BUG_ON(lock->owner == current, lock, "recursion"); fault because it uses the FS register to access the percpu data for current, and that register is zero in the new TSS. (The trace I saw was on 2.6.20 where it was GS, but it looks like this will still happen with FS on 2.6.22.) Initializing FS in the doublefault_tss should fix it.

Commit 19d36ccd "x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text" uses code which is being patched for patching. In particular, paravirt_ops does patching in two stages: first it calls paravirt_ops.patch, then it fills any remaining instructions with nop_out(). nop_out calls text_poke() which calls lookup_address() which calls pgd_val() (aka paravirt_ops.pgd_val): that call site is one of the places we patch. If we always do patching as one single call to text_poke(), we only need make sure we're not patching the memcpy in text_poke itself. This means the prototype to paravirt_ops.patch needs to change, to marshal the new code into a buffer rather than patching in place as it does now. It also means all patching goes through text_poke(), which is known to be safe (apply_alternatives is also changed to make a single patch). AK: fix compilation on x86-64 (bad rusty!)

This patch finishes the i386 and x86-64 ->sysdata conversion and hopefully also fixes Riku's and Andy's observed bugs. It is based on Yinghai Lu's and Andy Whitcroft's patches (thanks!) with some changes: - introduce pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() and use it instead of pci_scan_bus() where appropriate. pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() will allocate the sysdata structure and then call pci_scan_bus(). - always allocate pci_sysdata dynamically. The whole point of this sysdata work is to make it easy to do root-bus specific things (e.g., support PCI domains and IOMMU's). I dislike using a default struct pci_sysdata in some places and a dynamically allocated pci_sysdata elsewhere - the potential for someone indavertantly changing the default structure is too high. - this patch only makes the minimal changes necessary, i.e., the NUMA node is always initialized to -1. Patches to do the right thing with regards to the NUMA node can build on top of this (either add a 'node' parameter to pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() or just update the node when it becomes known). The patch was compile tested with various configurations (e.g., NUMAQ, VISWS) and run-time tested on i386 and x86-64. Unfortunately none of my machines exhibited the bugs so caveat emptor. Andy, could you please see if this fixes the NUMA issues you've seen? Riku, does this fix "pci=noacpi" on your laptop?

Revert 7e92b4fc. It broke Sébastien Dugué's machine and Jeff said (persuasively) This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS." It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year, and your box won't have a serial port either! :) I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver), but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again? It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade. Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.
