ES7000 platform code clean up for compilation errors and a warning. Ifdef'd the ACPI related parts in the ES7000 platform code. They were causing compile errors in certain configuration (without ACPI defined). I think this approach would be best (as opposed to Kconfig changes) since it only touches the subarch...

When vendor-specific i386 initialization code is unavailable the kernel falls back to a default CPU model name. Make that model name reflect the CPU family instead of an internal vendor index. Tested on Pentium II (family 6 model 5). /proc/cpuinfo before: model name : ff/05 after: model name : 06/05 Signed-off-by:"Seth, Rohit" <rohit.seth@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

In some code I am developing I had occasion to change the type of a variable. This made the value put_user was putting to user space wrong. But the code continued to build cleanly without errors. Introducing a temporary fixes this problem and at least with gcc-3.3.5 does not cause gcc any problems with optimizing out the temporary. gcc-4.x using SSA internally ought to be even better at optimizing out temporaries, so I don't expect a temporary to become a problem. Especially because in all correct cases the types on both sides of the assignment to the temporary are the same. Signed-off-by:

Several places in arch/i386/kernel/cpu and kernel/cpu were using __devinit when they should have been __cpuinit. Fixing that saves ~4K when CONFIG_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. Noticed by Andrew Morton. Signed-off-by:

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug. With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number of CPUs goes up to 2. Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released afterwards. The changes in detail: * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file, the SMP alternatives code is added there. * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel: .smp_altinstructions like .altinstructions, also contains a list of alt_instr structs. .smp_altinstr_replacement like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to save original instruction before replaving it. .smp_locks list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out on UP. The first two are used to replace more complex instruction sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling them as special case the table sizes become much smaller. * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they can be free if they are not needed. * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

Print stack backtraces in multiple columns, saving screen space. Number of columns is configurable and defaults to one so behavior is backwards-compatible. Also removes the brackets around addresses when printing more that one entry per line so they print as: <address> instead of: [<address>] This helps multiple entries fit better on one line.

This patch address several issues in the current BSD Secure Levels code: o plaintext_to_sha1: Missing check for a NULL return from __get_free_page o passwd_write_file: A page is leaked if the password is wrong. o fix securityfs registration order o seclvl_init is a mess and can't properly tolerate failures, failure path is upside down (deldif and delf should be switched) Cleanups: o plaintext_to_sha1: Use buffers passed in o passwd_write_file: Use kmalloc() instead of get_zeroed_page() o passwd_write_file: hashedPassword comparison is just memcmp o s/ENOSYS/EINVAL/ o misc (akpm: after some discussion it appears that the BSD secure levels feature should be scheduled for removal. But for now, let's fix these problems up). Signed-off-by:

We have noticed lockups during boot when stress testing kexec on ppc64. Two cpus would deadlock in scheduler code trying to grab already taken spinlocks. The double_rq_lock code uses the address of the runqueue to order the taking of multiple locks. This address is a per cpu variable: if (rq1 < rq2) { spin_lock(&rq1->lock); spin_lock(&rq2->lock); } else { spin_lock(&rq2->lock); spin_lock(&rq1->lock); } On the other hand, the code in wake_sleeping_dependent uses the cpu id order to grab locks: for_each_cpu_mask(i, sibling_map) spin_lock(&cpu_rq(i)->lock); This means we rely on the address of per cpu data increasing as cpu ids increase. While this will be true for the generic percpu implementation it may not be true for arch specific implementations. One way to solve this is to always take runqueues in cpu id order. To do this we add a cpu variable to the runqueue and check it in the double runqueue locking functions. Signed-off-by:Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by:
