Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work.

The config option used by archs to let the build system know that the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and compile times show ~ 12% improvement. After verifying this works, other archs can add: HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount instead of the perl version.

When testing cpu hotplug code on 32-bit we kept hitting the "CPU%d: Stuck ??" message due to multiple cores concurrently accessing the cpu_callin_mask, among others. Since these codepaths are not protected from concurrent access due to the fact that there's no sane reason for making an already complex code unnecessarily more complex - we hit the issue only when insanely switching cores off- and online - serialize hotplugging cores on the sysfs level and be done with it.

Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range 0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's page table. This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer x86 hardware.

There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware breakpoints. The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example. The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address registers can host either instruction or data address and the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control register. This is the case of x86 and Super H. This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and data breakpoints. The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and instruction breakpoints.

de957628 changed setting of the x86_init.iommu.iommu_init function ptr only when GART IOMMU is found. One side effect of it is that num_k8_northbridges is not initialized anymore if not explicitly called. This resulted in uninitialized pointers in <arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:amd_calc_l3_indices()>, for example, which uses the num_k8_northbridges thing through node_to_k8_nb_misc(). Fix that through an initcall that runs right after the PCI subsystem and does all the scanning. Then, remove initialization in gart_iommu_init() which is a rootfs_initcall and we're running before that. What is more, since num_k8_northbridges is being used in other places beside GART IOMMU, include it whenever we add AMD CPU support. The previous dependency chain in kconfig contained K8_NB depends on AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU which was clearly incorrect. The more natural way in terms of hardware dependency should be AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU depends on K8_NB depends on CPU_SUP_AMD && PCI. Make it so Number One!

The NUMAQ initialization sets x86_init.pci.init to pci_numaq_init, which obviously isn't defined if CONFIG_PCI isn't defined. This dependency was implicit in the past, because pci_numaq_init was invoked from arch/x86/pci/legacy.c, which itself was conditioned on CONFIG_PCI. I suspect that no NUMA-Q machines without PCI were ever built, so instead of complicating the code by adding #ifdefs or stub functions, just disable this bit of the configuration space.

Introduce x86 arch-specific optimization code, which supports both of x86-32 and x86-64. This code also supports safety checking, which decodes whole of a function in which probe is inserted, and checks following conditions before optimization: - The optimized instructions which will be replaced by a jump instruction don't straddle the function boundary. - There is no indirect jump instruction, because it will jumps into the address range which is replaced by jump operand. - There is no jump/loop instruction which jumps into the address range which is replaced by jump operand. - Don't optimize kprobes if it is in functions into which fixup code will jumps. This uses text_poke_multibyte() which doesn't support modifying code on NMI/MCE handler. However, since kprobes itself doesn't support NMI/MCE code probing, it's not a problem. Changes in v9: - Use *_text_reserved() for checking the probe can be optimized. - Verify jump address range is in 2G range when preparing slot. - Backup original code when switching optimized buffer, instead of preparing buffer, because there can be int3 of other probes in preparing phase. - Check kprobe is disabled in arch_check_optimized_kprobe(). - Strictly check indirect jump opcodes (ff /4, ff /5).

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable, potentially turning an oops to an expolit. To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values. This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains areas that cannot be mapped. Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config dependencies. Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't ensure perf can never be disabled under us. We have: config X86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS select PERF_EVENTS config PERF_EVENTS [...] x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is necessary for the breakpoints. What we need is: - x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS - HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86. This fixes the following kind of build errors: In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31: include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr': include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr' v2: Select also ANON_INODES from x86, required for perf Reported-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Reported-by: NMichal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Reported-by: NAndrew Randrianasulu <randrik_a@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> LKML-Reference: <1261010034-7786-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

With generic modular drivers handling all of this stuff, the geode-specific code can go away. The cs5535-gpio, cs5535-mfgpt, and cs5535-clockevt drivers now handle this.

Previously, OLPC support for the mic extensions was only enabled in the ALSA driver if CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_MGEODE_LX were both set. This was because the old geode GPIO code was written in a manner that assumed CONFIG_MGEODE_LX. With the new cs553x-gpio driver, this is no longer the case; as such, we can drop the requirement on CONFIG_MGEODE_LX and instead include a requirement on GPIOLIB. We use the generic GPIO API rather than the cs553x-specific API.

COMPAT_VDSO has 2 help text blocks, but kconfig only uses the last one found, so merge the 2 blocks. It would be real nice if kconfig would warn about this. Signed-off-by: NRandy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <4AF9FB6C.70003@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

STACKPROTECTOR_ALL has a really high overhead (runtime and stack footprint) and is not really worth it protection wise (the normal STACKPROTECTOR is in effect for all functions with buffers already), so lets just remove the option entirely.
