I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20
(dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors). The first is the kernel OOPSing
because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the
CPU information. The other is that only one processor was being brought up.
I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems.
The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using
register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures.
The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c. In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources,
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and
afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU. In the
same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed
CPU. cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards.
The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is
#define'd to be cpu_present_mask.
Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>
- cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing
on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug;
- allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does.
Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory.

Switching to automatic bigsmp causes a misleading error message, that more
then 8 cpus are detected, and user needs to select either X86_GENERICARCH
or X86_BIGSMP to handle.
Reason is we switched to bigsmp to avoid IP race when new cpu is comming
up. [bigsmp is nothing but using physical flat mode that can work for 1 ..
255 cpus] [default is X86_PC, that uses logical flat mode up to 8 CPUs
max] Current x86_64 code uses bigsmp as default when hotplug is enabled.
It would be preferable to make bigsmp as default, and work the dependencies
of other related code like SMP_SUSPEND, and some related to memory hotplug
code for i386.
Current logical flat mode doesnt use shortcuts that cause the race by using
the send_IPI_mask() instead of shortcuts when HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled.
In the meantime this patch is the path of lease resistance.
We will switch to bigsmp default sometime soon, when we get to work it again.

For some architectures, a few syscalls are not linked in noMMU mode. In
that case, the MMU depending syscalls are needed to be defined as
'cond_syscall'. For example, ARM architecture selectively links sys_mlock
by the mode configuration.
In case of FRV, it has been managed by #ifdef CONFIG_MMU macro in
arch/frv/kernel/entry.S. However these conditional macros are just
duplicates if they were defined as cond_syscall. Compilation test is done
with FRV toolchains for both of MMU and noMMU mode.

This patch changes the double registers numbering to 0-15 from even 0-30,
in preparation for future VFP extensions. It also fixes the VFP_REG_ZERO
bug (value 16 actually represents the 8th double register with the original
numbering).
The original mcrr/mrrc on CP10 were generating FMRRS/FMSRR instead of
FMRRD/FMDRR. The patch changes to CP11 for the correct instructions.

This effectively undoes the PCI resource allocation changes done in
commit b408cbc704, but leaves the cleanups
of that commit in place.
We're going back to marking the resources reported by e820 busy _before_
doing PCI probing, so that any PCI resource that clashes with the BIOS-
reported memory map will be reloacted to a non-clashing area.
The reason? Larry Finger reports that his laptop has the cardbus
controller set up by the BIOS so that it conflicts with the e820 memory
map, and needs to be relocated. See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6337
for more details.
We'll have to work out how to handle the fbcon problem that caused that
commit in the first place in some other way.

In linux-2.6.16, we have noticed a problem where the gs base value
returned from an arch_prtcl(ARCH_GET_GS, ...) call will be incorrect if:
- the current/calling task has NOT set its own gs base yet to a
non-zero value,
- some other task that ran on the same processor previously set their
own gs base to a non-zero value.
In this situation, the ARCH_GET_GS code will read and return the
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE msr register.
However, since the __switch_to() code does NOT load/zero the
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE register when the task that is switched IN has a zero
next->gs value, the caller of arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_GS, ...) will get back
the value of some previous tasks's gs base value instead of 0.
Change the arch_prctl() ARCH_GET_GS code to only read and return
the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE msr register if the 'gs' register of the calling
task is non-zero.
Side note: Since in addition to using arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_GS, ...),
a task can also setup a gs base value by using modify_ldt() and write
an index value into 'gs' from user space, the patch below reads
'gs' instead of using thread.gs, since in the modify_ldt() case,
the thread.gs value will be 0, and incorrect value would be returned
(the task->thread.gs value).
When the user has not set its own gs base value and the 'gs'
register is zero, then the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE register will not be
read and a value of zero will be returned by reading and returning
'task->thread.gs'.
The first patch shown below is an attempt at implementing this
approach.

If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day.

AMD systems have a modern APIC that supports 8 bit IDs, but
don't have a XAPIC version number. Add a new "modern_apic"
subfunction that handles this correctly and use it (nearly)
everywhere where XAPIC is tested for.
I removed one wart: the code specified that external APICs
would use an 8bit APIC ID. But I checked a real 82093 data sheet
and it says clearly that they only use 4bit. So I removed
this special case since it would a bit awkward to implement now.
I removed the valid APIC tests in mptable parsing completely. On any modern
system they only check against the full field width (8bit) anyways
and are no-ops. This also fixes them doing the wrong thing
on >8 core Opterons.
This makes i386 boot again on 16 core Opterons.

When nolapic was passed or the local APIC was disabled
for another reason ACPI would still parse the IO-APICs
until these were explicitely disabled with noapic.
Usually this resulted in a non booting configuration unless
"nolapic noapic" was used.
I also disabled the local APIC parsing in this case, although
that's only cosmetic (suppresses a few printks)
This hopefully makes nolapic work in all cases.

This patch introduces a user for the e820_all_mapped function:
There have been several machines that don't have a working MMCONFIG,
often because of a buggy MCFG table in the ACPI bios. This patch adds a
simple sanity check that detects a whole bunch of these cases, and when
it detects it, linux now boots rather than crash-and-burns.
The accuracy of this detection can in principle be improved if there was
a "is this entire range in e820 with THIS attribute", but no such
function exist and the complexity needed for this is not really worth
it; this simple check already catches most cases anyway.

The node setup code would try to allocate the node metadata in the node

This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so

Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes.
And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node.
To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that
