d7b9f7be21 x86: Calgary: Convert detect_calgary() to use iommu_init hook
This changes detect_calgary() to set init_calgary() to
iommu_init hook if detect_calgary() finds the Calgary IOMMU.

We can kill the code to check if we found the IOMMU in
init_calgary() since detect_calgary() sets init_calgary() only
when it found the IOMMU.

d07c1be069 x86: Add iommu_init to x86_init_ops
We call the detections functions of all the IOMMUs then all
their initialization functions. The latter is pointless since we
don't detect multiple different IOMMUs. What we need to do is
calling the initialization function of the detected IOMMU.

This adds iommu_init hook to x86_init_ops so if an IOMMU
detection function can set its initialization function to the
hook.

338bac527e x86: Use x86_platform for iommu_shutdown
This patch cleans up pci_iommu_shutdown() a bit to use
x86_platform (similar to how IA64 initializes an IOMMU driver).

This adds iommu_shutdown() to x86_platform to avoid calling
every IOMMUs' shutdown functions in pci_iommu_shutdown() in
order. The IOMMU shutdown functions are platform specific (we
don't have multiple different IOMMU hardware) so the current way
is pointless.

An IOMMU driver sets x86_platform.iommu_shutdown to the shutdown
function if necessary.

2c75910f1a x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend.
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules.  For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0.  If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff...  which is
probably not what the caller intended.

This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend).  This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.

d39b7dd1dc sgi-gru: decrapfiy options_write() function
Not a single line of actual code in the function was really
fundamentally correct.

Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last
character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting
hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that
format.

This tries to do better.

89240ba059 x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit
This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.

The new implementation now returns the right value.

This patch adds a NOTES macro to a linker script vmlinux.ld.S to put

Then, the .note section will be removed, because "-R .note" option is

e65cc194f7 ahci: Enable SB600 64bit DMA on MSI K9A2 Platinum v2
Like the Asus M2A-VM, MSI's K9A2 Platinum (MS-7376) can also support 64bit
DMA. It is a new enough board that all the BIOS releases work correctly with
64bit DMA enabled.

4b27e1bb44 cfq-iosched: limit coop preemption
CFQ has an optimization for cooperated applications. if several
io-context have close requests, they will get boost. But the
optimization get abused. Considering thread a, b, which work on one
file. a reads sectors s, s+2, s+4, ...; b reads sectors s+1, s+3, s
+5, ... Both a and b are sequential read, so they can open idle window.
a reads a sector s and goes to idle window and wakeup b. b reads sector
s+1, since in current implementation, cfq_should_preempt() thinks a and
b are cooperators, b will preempt a. b then reads sector s+1 and goes to
idle window and wakeup a. for the same reason, a will preempt b and
reads s+2. a and b will continue the circle. The circle will be very
long, and a and b will occupy whole disk queue. Other applications will
nearly have no chance to run.

Fix this limiting coop preempt until a queue is scheduled normally
again.

e6ec4fe245 cfq-iosched: fix bad return value cfq_should_preempt()
Commit a6151c3a5c inadvertently reversed
a preempt condition check, potentially causing a performance regression.
Make the meta check correct again.

8c4db3355b backing-dev: bdi sb prune should be in the unregister path, not destroy
Commit 592b09a42f was different from
the tested path, in that it moved the bdi super_block prune from
unregister to destroy context. This doesn't fully fix the sync hang
bug on unexpected device removal, as need to prune the bdi cache
pointer before killing flusher thread.

82d6469916 xen: mask extended topology info in cpuid
A Xen guest never needs to know about extended topology, and knowing
would just confuse it.

This patch just zeros ebx in leaf 0xb which indicates no topology info,
preventing a crash under Xen on cpus which support this leaf.

7825cf10e3 xen/hvc: make sure console output is always emitted, with explicit polling
We never want to rely on the hvc workqueue to emit output, because the
most interesting output is when the kernel is broken.  This will
improve oops/crash/console message for better debugging.

Instead, we force-poll until all output is emitted.
