The IRQ operation(enable/disable) should be avoided when throttling is controlled via PTC method. It is replaced by the migration of task. This fixes an oops on T61 -- a regression due to f79f06ab b/c FixedHW support tried to read remote MSR with interrupts disabled.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. -- Bug cause is blast_dcache_range() in preemptible code [in r4k_dma_cache_wback_inv()]. blast_dcache_range() is constructed via __BUILD_BLAST_CACHE_RANGE that uses cpu_dcache_line_size(). It uses current_cpu_data that use smp_processor_id() in turn. In case of CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT smp_processor_id emits BUG if we are executing with preemption enabled. Cpu options of cpu0 are assumed to be the superset of all processors. Can I make the same assumptions for cache line size and fix this issue the following way: Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The database performance group have found that half the cycles spent in kmem_cache_free are spent in this one call to BUG_ON. Moving it into the CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG-only function cache_free_debugcheck() is a performance win of almost 0.5% on their particular benchmark. The call was added as part of commit ddc2e812 with the comment that "overhead should be minimal". It may have been minimal at the time, but it isn't now.

Subdividing the paravirt_ops structure caused a regression in certain non-GPL modules which try to use mmu_ops and cpu_ops. This restores the old behaviour, and makes it consistent with the non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT case. Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> adds: > I took at this problem (as I have an nvidia card on one of my > workstations), and found out that the following suffer from > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL changes: > > * local_disable_irq(), local_irq_save*(), etc. > * MSR-related macros like rdmsr(), wrmsr(), read_cr0(), etc. > wbinvd(), too. > * pmd_val(), pgd_val(), etc are all involved with pv_mm_ops. > pmd_large() and pmd_bad() is also indirectly involved. > __flush_tlb() and friends suffer, too. Christoph Hellwig objects to this patch on the grounds that modules shouldn't be using these operations anyway. I don't think this is a particularly good reason to reject the patch, for several reasons: 1. These operations are still available to modules when not using CONFIG_PARAVIRT, since they are implicitly exported as inline functions via the kernel headers. Exporting the same functionality as GPL-only symbols just adds a gratuitious difference between CONFIG_PARAVIRT and non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT configurations. If we really think these operations are not for module use (or non-GPL module use), then we should solve the problem in a general way. 2. It's a regression from previous kernels, which would work these modules even with CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled. 3. The operations in question seem pretty reasonable for modules to use. The control registers/MSRs can be accessed directly anyway, so there's no benefit in preventing modules from using standard interfaces. And it seems reasonable to allow a graphics driver to create its own mappings if it wants. Therefore, I think this patch should go in for 2.6.24. If people really think that these operations should not be available to modules, then we can address that separately.

ACPI uses NR_CPUS in various loops and in some it accesses per cpu data of processors that are not present(!) and that will never be present. The pointers to per cpu data are typically not initialized for processors that are not present. So we seem to be reading something here from offset 0 in memory. Make ACPI use nr_cpu_ids instead. That stops at the end of the possible processors. Convert one loop to NR_CPUS to use the cpu_possible map instead. That way ranges of processor that can never be brought online are skipped during the loop.

In wait_task_stopped() exit_code already contains the right value for the si_status member of siginfo, and this is simply set in the non WNOWAIT case. If you call waitid() with a stopped or traced process, you'll get the signal in siginfo.si_status as expected -- however if you call waitid(WNOWAIT) at the same time, you'll get the signal << 8 | 0x7f Pass it unchanged to wait_noreap_copyout(); we would only need to shift it and add 0x7f if we were returning it in the user status field and that isn't used for any function that permits WNOWAIT.

Arrange the sections in the FRV arch so that a BRA instruction with a 16-bit displacement can always reach from the trap table to entry.S, tlb-miss.S and break.S. The problem otherwise is that the linker can insert sufficient code between the slots in the trap table and the targets of the branch instructions in those slots that the displacement field in the instruction isn't sufficiently large. This is because the branch targets were in the .text section along with most of the other code in the kernel.

This patch adds Graphics Output Protocol support to the kernel. UEFI2.0 spec deprecates Universal Graphics Adapter (UGA) protocol and only Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) is produced. Therefore, the boot loader needs to query the UEFI firmware with appropriate Output Protocol and pass the video information to the kernel. As a result of GOP protocol, an EFI framebuffer driver is needed for displaying console messages. The patch adds a EFI framebuffer driver. The EFI frame buffer driver in this patch is based on the Intel Mac framebuffer driver. The ELILO bootloader takes care of passing the video information as appropriate for EFI firmware. The framebuffer driver has been tested in i386 kernel and x86_64 kernel on EFI platform.

It will take me a few days to get to looking at a correct fix but that keyspan_send_setup(port, 1) (and the '1' is the important part) must happen once when the port is first opened. The cflag can just be set to whatever the normal default is for your serial environment. So revert this again pending the proper fix.
