Got it. i8259A_resume calls init_8259A(0) unconditionally, even if auto_eoi has been set. Keep track of the current status and restore that on resume. This fixes it for AMD64 and i386. Signed-off-by:

Sometimes, bug reports come in where we've had an oops, and the only record we have is what the reporter saw on screen shortly before the system locked up completely. Unfortunatly, syslog only prints lines beginning with KERN_EMERG to the console, so some lines get lost. An example of this can be seen at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203723 Some of this information isn't vital to diagnosis, but some parts are useful, such as the tainted flag.

Fix pack_descriptor: 1. flags are bits 20-23 in the high word 2. limit's 4 msb are bits 16-19 in the high word These haven't mattered so far, because all users have had small limits and a flags setting of 0. Signed-off-by:

Patch inserts the GART region into the iomem resource map. The GART will then be visible within /proc/iomem. It will also allow for other users utilizing the GART to subreserve the region (agp or IOMMU). Signed-off-by:

Needs earlier patch to split type 1 probing from use. This patch should fix the x86 macs where type 1 PCI config space access doesn't work, but MCFG does. They also don't have a usable e820 table so the e820 sanity check failed. Instead assume now that if type 1 doesn't work then MCFG must work and don't do the e820 check. Signed-off-by: -

First probe if type1/2 accesses work, but then only initialize them at the end. This is useful for a later patch that needs this information inbetween. Signed-off-by: -

Previously exit_idle would be called more often than enter_idle Now instead of using complicated tests just keep track of it using the per CPU variable as a flip flop. I moved the idle state into the PDA to make the access more efficient. Original bug report and an initial patch from Stephane Eranian, but redone by AK.

kexec has been marked experimental for a year now and all of the serious problems have been worked through. So it is time (if not past time) to remove the experimental mark. Signed-off-by:

- Don't zero for __copy_from_user_inatomic following i386. This will prevent spurious zeros for parallel file system writers when one does a exception - The string instruction version didn't zero the output on exception. Oops. Also I cleaned up the code a bit while I was at it and added a minor optimization to the string instruction path. Signed-off-by: -

We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0. This requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking privilege level (user vs kernel). This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used "get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in the code... 1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero. And: Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0: a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros. b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.) c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them. d. Change the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros Signed-off-by:

Abstract sensitive instructions in assembler code, replacing them with macros (which currently are #defined to the native versions). We use long names: assembler is case-insensitive, so if something goes wrong and macros do not expand, it would assemble anyway. Resulting object files are exactly the same as before. Signed-off-by:

Add a feature check that checks that the gcc compiler has stack-protector support and has the bugfix for PR28281 to make this work in kernel mode. The easiest solution I could find was to have a shell script in scripts/ to do the detection; if needed we can make this fancier in the future without making the makefile too complex. Signed-off-by:

GCC emits a call to a __stack_chk_fail() function when the stack canary is not matching the expected value. Since this is a bad security issue; lets panic the kernel rather than limping along; the kernel really can't be trusted anymore when this happens. Signed-off-by:

kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, i386) This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel. The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd. Signed-off-by:

The EDD code would scan the command line as a fixed array, without taking account of either whitespace, null-termination, the old command-line protocol, late overrides early, or the fact that the command line may not be reachable from INITSEG. This should fix those problems, and enable us to use a longer command line. Signed-off-by:
