Ravikiran G Thirumalai c11efdf94d [PATCH] x86_64: Align and pad x86_64 GDT on page boundary
This patch is on the same lines as Zachary Amsden's i386 GDT page alignemnt
patch in -mm, but for x86_64.

Patch to align and pad x86_64 GDT on page boundries.

[AK: some minor cleanups and fixed incorrect TLS initialization
in CPU init.]

Jan Beulich b556b35e98 [PATCH] x86_64: Move int 3 handler to debug stack and allow to increase it.
This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
  breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
  %gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
  the INT1 handler's
[AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry
points]
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
  debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
  handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
  debugger-free kernel doesn't need it

James Cleverdon 6004e1b7ef [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Share interrupt vectors when there is a large number of interrupt sources
Here's a patch that builds on Natalie Protasevich's IRQ compression
patch and tries to work for MPS boots as well as ACPI.  It is meant for
a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt
pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc.

The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with
I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540.  This is much bigger
than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64).  Also, there aren't enough
vectors to go around.  There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting
the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F.  So, my patch
attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

Adrian Bunk 9c0aa0f9a1 [PATCH] Replace extern inline with static inline in asm-x86_64/*
They should be identical in the kernel now, but this
makes it consistent with other code.

Andi Kleen a940199f20 [PATCH] x86_64: Some cleanup in setup64.c
Minor cleanup.

Move things into their include files, remove obsolete includes, fix
indentation, remove obsolete special cases etc.

I also added the per cpu section to asm-generic/sections.h and fixed
init/main.c to use it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
