915f34e20c [PATCH] x86_64: Remove useless KDB vector
It was set as an NMI, but the NMI bit always forces an interrupt
to end up at vector 2. So it was never used. Remove.

95833c83f3 [PATCH] x86_64: Add idle notifiers
This adds a new notifier chain that is called with IDLE_START
when a CPU goes idle and IDLE_END when it goes out of idle.
The context can be idle thread or interrupt context.

Since we cannot rely on MONITOR/MWAIT existing the idle
end check currently has to be done in all interrupt
handlers.

They were originally inspired by the similar s390 implementation.

They have a variety of applications:
- They will be needed for CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
- They can be used for oprofile to fix up the missing time
in idle when performance counters don't tick.
- They can be used for better C state management in ACPI
- They could be used for microstate accounting.

This is just infrastructure so far, no users.

3506229ff9 [PATCH] x86_64: Don't enable interrupt unconditionally in reboot path
When they were disabled before (e.g. after a panic) it's better
to keep them off, otherwise followon panics can happen from timer
interrupt handlers etc.

Drawback is that pageup in the console won't work anymore though.

Remove duplicate __cpuinit in smp.c. Already defined in init.h which is
already included.

e5bc8b6baf [PATCH] x86-64: Make remote TLB flush more scalable
Instead of using a global spinlock to protect the state
of the remote TLB flush use a lock and state for each sending CPU.

To tell the receiver where to look for the state use 8 different
call vectors.  Each CPU uses a specific vector to trigger flushes on other
CPUs. Depending on the received vector the target CPUs look into
the right per cpu variable for the flush data.

When the system has more than 8 CPUs they are hashed to the 8 available
vectors. The limited global vector space forces us to this right now.
In future when interrupts are split into per CPU domains this could be
fixed, at the cost of needing more IPIs in flat mode.

Also some minor cleanup in the smp flush code and remove some outdated
debug code.

Requires patch to move cpu_possible_map setup earlier.

3d483f4757 [PATCH] Fix sync_tsc hang
sync_tsc was using smp_call_function to ask the boot processor to report
it's tsc value.  smp_call_function performs an IPI_send_allbutself which is
a broadcast ipi.  There is a window during processor startup during which
the target cpu has started and before it has initialized it's interrupt
vectors so it can properly process an interrupt.  Receveing an interrupt
during that window will triple fault the cpu and do other nasty things.

Why cli does not protect us from that is beyond me.

The simple fix is to match ia64 and provide a smp_call_function_single.
Which avoids the broadcast and is more efficient.

This certainly fixes the problem of getting stuck on boot which was
very easy to trigger on my SMP Hyperthreaded Xeon, and I think
it fixes it for the right reasons.

884d9e40b4 [PATCH] x86_64: Dont use broadcast shortcut to make it cpu hotplug safe.
Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug.  CPU's in
offline state also end up receiving the IPI.  Once the cpus become online they
receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour.

This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the
CPU's in online map.  Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big
overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64
systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the
API's.

The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no
degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway.  Its simpler to just
not use broadcast anymore.

a8ab26fe5b [PATCH] x86_64: Switch SMP bootup over to new CPU hotplug state machine
This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of
crufty code.  It also should plug some races that the old hackish way
introduces.  Remove one old race workaround in NMI watchdog setup that is not
needed anymore.

I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code.  The brag value of
BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market.

Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is
there now.

One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before.  The
old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later.  Instead the TSC of the
BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate.

akpm:

- sync_tsc_bp_init seems to have the sense of `init' inverted.

- SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated - use DEFINE_SPINLOCK.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
