So why are we calling smp_send_stop from machine_halt?
We don't.
Looking more closely at the bug report the problem here
is that halt -p is called which triggers not a halt but
an attempt to power off.
machine_power_off calls machine_shutdown which calls smp_send_stop.
If pm_power_off is set we should never make it out machine_power_off
to the call of do_exit. So pm_power_off must not be set in this case.
When pm_power_off is not set we expect machine_power_off to devolve
into machine_halt.
So how do we fix this?
Playing too much with smp_send_stop is dangerous because it
must also be safe to be called from panic.
It looks like the obviously correct fix is to only call
machine_shutdown when pm_power_off is defined. Doing
that will make Andi's assumption about not scheduling
true and generally simplify what must be supported.
This turns machine_power_off into a noop like machine_halt
when pm_power_off is not defined.
If the expected behavior is that sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF)
becomes sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT) if pm_power_off is NULL
this is not quite a comprehensive fix as we pass a different parameter
to the reboot notifier and we set system_state to a different value
before calling device_shutdown().
Unfortunately any fix more comprehensive I can think of is not
obviously correct. The core problem is that there is no architecture
independent way to detect if machine_power will become a noop, without
calling it.

I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP

The following patch ends that dependency. I thought of hiding it under
CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons
other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible. I will also update the
documentation accordingly.
o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for
kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend
on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose
CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer

- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton
crash_get_current_regs(). This is not a inline function hence a stack frame
is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured. Later
this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec).
- In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a
frame and that frame is no more valid. This seems to have created back
trace problems for ppc64.
- This patch fixes it up. The very first thing it does after entering
crash_kexec() is to capture the register states. Anyway we don't want the
back trace beyond crash_kexec(). crash_get_current_regs() has been made
inline
- crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should
be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some
architecture dependent tricks. For ex. fixing up ss and esp for i386.
crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is

sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration
This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first
half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process. A process may
have migrated to another node. Memory was allocated optimally for the prior
context. sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node.
sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have
changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory. Paul
Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic
migration if the cpuset of a process is changed. However, a user may decide
to manually control the migration.
This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and
functions that are also needed for mbind and friends. The patch also provides
a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically
move memory. sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's
implementation.
The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and
thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing
nodeset (which may be a cpuset). When direct page migration becomes available
then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages
between different nodesets. The current implementation simply evicts all
pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset.
Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.

The 'make rodata read-only' patch in -mm exposes a latent bug in the 32-bit
change_page_attr() function, which causes certain CPUs (Those with NX
basically) to reboot instantly after pages are marked read-only.
The same bug got fixed a while back on x86-64, but never got propagated to
i386.
Stuart Hayes from Dell also picked up on this last June, but it never got
fixed, as the only thing affected by it aparently was the nvidia driver.
Blatantly stealing description from his post..
"It doesn't appear to be fixed (in the i386 arch). The
change_page_attr()/split_large_page() code will still still set all the
4K PTEs to PAGE_KERNEL (setting the _PAGE_NX bit) when a large page
needs to be split.
This wouldn't be a problem for the bulk of the kernel memory, but there
are pages in the lower 4MB of memory that's free, and are part of large
executable pages that also contain kernel code. If change_page_attr()
is called on these, it will set the _PAGE_NX bit on the whole 2MB region
that was covered by the large page, causing a large chunk of kernel code
to be non-executable."

PnP BIOS data, code, and 32-bit entry segments all have fixed limits as well;
set them in the GDT rather than adding more code. It would be nice to add
these fixups to the boot GDT rather than setting the GDT for each CPU; perhaps
I can wiggle this in later, but getting it in before the subsys init looks
tricky.
Also, make some progress on deprecating the ugly Q_SET_SEL macros.

The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP
BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out. These parameteres may be passed
from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to
stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size.
Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the
limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity.
When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get
system device node" call:
mov ax, es:[bx]
Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

APM BIOSes have many bugs regarding proper representation of the appropriate
segment limits for calling the BIOS. By default, APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS is always
turned on to support running the APM BIOS on these buggy machines. Keeping
64k limits poses very little danger to the kernel, because the pages where the
APM BIOS is located will always be in low physical memory BIOS areas, which
should already be marked reserved, and only buggy BIOSes would possibly
overstep the segment bounds with writes to data anyway.
Since forcing stricter limits breaks many machines and is not default
behavior, it seems reasonable to deprecate the older code which may cause APM
BIOS to fault.
If you really have a badly enough broken APM BIOS that you have to turn off
APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS, seems like the best recourse here would be to disable the
APM BIOS and / or not compile it into your kernel to begin with, and / or add
your system to the known bad list.
The reason I want to deprecate this code is there is underlying brokenness
with the set_limit macros, and getting rid of many of the call sites rather
than rewriting them seems to be the simplest and most correct course of
action.

Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a

VMware.
Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT

It just probes all func 0 devices on bus 0 (the internal northbridge is
currently always on bus 0) and if they are not accessible using MCFG they are
put into a special fallback bitmap.

What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of
changing frequency?
Today the answer is: It depends.
On i386:
SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency
UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set.
On x86_64:
There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So,
the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the
CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc
capable CPU or not.
On ia64:
It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed.
The patch below changes this to:
Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If
cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency
will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

Linux invokes the AML _PDC method (Processor Driver Capabilities)
to tell the BIOS what features it can handle. While the ACPI
spec says nothing about the OS invoking _PDC multiple times,
doing so with changing bits seems to hopelessly confuse the BIOS
on multiple platforms up to and including crashing the system.
Factor out the _PDC invocation so Linux invokes it only once.
