    [PATCH] x86-64 merge · d8f19f2c
    Andi Kleen authored
    This brings the x86-64 port uptodate in 2.5.60. Unfortunately I cannot
    test too much because i constantly get deadlocks in exit/wait in initscripts
    on SMP bootup. The kernel seems to still lose a lot of SIGCHLD. 2.5.59/SMP
    had the same problem. Uniprocessor and SMP kernel on UP seems to work.
    
    This patch only touches x86-64 specific files. It requires a few simple
    changes to arch independent files that I will send separately.
    
     - Fixed a lot of obsolete/misleading configure help texts.
     - Remove old bootblock disk loader and support fdimage target for syslinux
       instead (H. Peter Anvin)
     - Fix potential fpu signal restore problem on 32bit emulation.
     - Merge with 2.5.60 i386 (hugetlbfs, acpi etc.)
     - Some fixes for local apic disabled modus.
     - Beginngs of S3 ACPI wakeup from real-mode (not working yet, don't use)
     - Beginnings of NUMA/CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM support for AMD K8 (work in progress,
       port from 2.4): clean up memory mapping at bootup, generalize bootmem etc.
     - Fix 64bit GS base reload problem and reenable (Karsten Keil)
     - Fix race with vmalloc accesses from interrupt handlers disturbing page fault/
       similar race for the debug handler (thanks to Andrew Morton)
     - Merge cpu access primitives with i386
     - Revert to private module list for now because putting modules
       nto vmlist triggered too many problems.
     - Some cleanups, removal of unneeded code.
     - Let early __get_free_pages see consistent pda
     - Preempt disabled for now because it is too broken right now
     - Signal handler fixes
     - Fix do_gettimeofday to be completely lockless and reenable vsyscalls
     - Optimize context switch path a bit (should be ported to i386)
     - Get thread_info via stack for better code
     - Don't leak pmd pages
     - Clean up hardcoded task stack sizes.
