This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an
NMI.  This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs
and if it has an NMI post processing call.  Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog
to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in.

It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

Now we have an explicit per-cpu GDT variable, we don't need to keep the

We could go further and make load_gdt() pack the descriptor for us, or even

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data.  This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).

On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.

This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery.  There are no functional
changes from the old i386 implementation.

The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the
inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function)
information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream.  This reduces
cache pollution, and makes disassembly work properly.

i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature.  Chuck reports that this gives him a +/-
0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark

x86_64 description follows:

Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily.  This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore
all the time).  However for very frequent FPU users...  you take an extra trap
every context switch.

The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.  If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap
is avoided.  (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5
having done so are quite high obviously).

After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there
are 5 consecutive ones again).  The reason for this is to give apps that do
longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.

This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since
iBCS stopped being supported.  This means it is now possible to actually
set an empty LDT segment.

In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been
replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both
setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register.
If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL
descriptor.

When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not
only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves
back down the stack frame.  It must always grow up (toward older stack
frames).

I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely
unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
pointer chain.

Descriptor and trap table cleanups.  Add cleanly written accessors for

allows the hypervisor to transparently tweak the DPL of the descriptors
as well as the RPL of segments in those descriptors, with no unnecessary
kernel code modification.  It also allows the hypervisor implementation
of the VMI to tweak the gates, allowing for custom exception frames or

To quote Alan Cox:

The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.

A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
that directory.

This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to

Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as

tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but
this could certainly be further improved.
