Some BIOSes use PMU resources, which can cause various bugs: - Non-working or erratic PMU based statistics - the PMU can end up counting the wrong thing, resulting in misleading statistics - Profiling can stop working or it can profile the wrong thing - A non-working or erratic NMI watchdog that cannot be relied on - The kernel may disturb whatever thing the BIOS tries to use the PMU for - possibly causing hardware malfunction in extreme cases. - ... and other forms of potential misbehavior Various forms of such misbehavior has been observed in practice - there are BIOSes that just corrupt the PMU state, consequences be damned. The PMU is a CPU resource that is handled by the kernel and the BIOS stealing+corrupting it is not acceptable nor robust, so we detect it, warn about it and further refuse to touch the PMU ourselves.

When adjusting the code to handle removing the old nmi watchdog, I forgot to consider the compile case when the local apic is not enabled.

Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the unknown_nmi_panic to the traps.c file. Because the old nmi watchdog was deleted before this change happened, the unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost. This re-adds it. Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its documentation updated accordingly.

Use the reboot notifier to detach all running counters on reboot, this solves a problem with kexec where the new kernel doesn't expect running counters (rightly so). It will however decrease the coverage of the NMI watchdog. Making a kexec specific reboot notifier callback would be best, however that would require touching all notifier callback handlers as they are not properly structured to deal with new state. As a compromise, place the perf reboot notifier at the very last position in the list.

Currently the {set,get}_pull callbacks of the s3c24xx_gpiocfg_default structure are initalized via s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1up. This results in a linker error when only CONFIG_CPU_S3C2442 is selected: arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/built-in.o:(.data+0x13f4): undefined reference to `s3c_gpio_getpull_1up' arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/built-in.o:(.data+0x13f8): undefined reference to `s3c_gpio_setpull_1up' The s3c2442 has pulldowns instead of pullups compared to the s3c2440. The method of controlling them is the same though. So this patch modifies the existing s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1up helper functions to take an additional parameter deciding whether the pin has a pullup or pulldown. The s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1{down,up} functions then wrap that functions passing either S3C_GPIO_PULL_UP or S3C_GPIO_PULL_DOWN. Furthermore this patch sets up the s3c24xx_gpiocfg_default.{get,set}_pull fields in the s3c244{0,2}_map_io function to the new pulldown helper functions.
