if the resulting executable actually has unwind information.
This is useful to prevent compilation errors when users select
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND on old binutils and also allows to use
CFI in the future for non kernel debugging applications.

The MPS table specification says that the operating system should
renumber the IO-APICs following the table as needed. However in
ACPI this is not allowed or neeeded and all x86-64 systems are ACPI
compliant.
The code was already disabled on some systems because it caused
problems there. Remove it completely now.

Bugzilla #6552 says:
"In arch/i386/boot/setup.S, movw is used instead of movb for PS/2 mouse
information, although it is unsigned char. This does not harm, because
the jmp instruction overwritten by movw is used before executing movw,
and never be used again"
I've no idea if this is a real bug or how it gets fixed, so I'm submitting
it for review instead of letting it die of boredom in bugzilla. Aditionally
to i386, I've changed x86-64, which mirrors the same code.

The IO APIC code had lots of duplicated code to read/write 64bit
routing entries into the IO-APIC. Factor this out int common read/write
functions
In a few cases the IO APIC lock is taken more often now, but this
isn't a problem because it's all initialization/shutdown only

- Move the slow path fallbacks to their own assembly files
This makes them much easier to read and is needed for the next change.
- Add CFI annotations for unwinding (XXX need review)
- Remove constant case which can never happen with out of line spinlocks
- Use patchable LOCK prefixes
- Don't use lock sections anymore for inline code because they can't

Hello,
Following my discussion with Andi. Here is a patch that introduces
two new TIF flags to simplify the context switch code in __switch_to().
The idea is to minimize the number of cache lines accessed in the common
case, i.e., when neither the debug registers nor the I/O bitmap are used.
This patch covers the x86-64 modifications. A patch for i386 follows.
Changelog:
- add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
- add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
- modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.
x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.
I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.
The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time. The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow
The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable
I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.
AK: Also added some cleanups from Andrew Morton

This patch adds a vgetcpu vsyscall, which depending on the CPU RDTSCP
capability uses either the RDTSCP or CPUID to obtain a CPU and node
numbers and pass them to the program.
AK: Lots of changes over Vojtech's original code:
Better prototype for vgetcpu()
It's better to pass the cpu / node numbers as separate arguments
to avoid mistakes when going from SMP to NUMA.
Also add a fast time stamp based cache using a user supplied
argument to speed things more up.
Use fast method from Chuck Ebbert to retrieve node/cpu from
GDT limit instead of CPUID
Made sure RDTSCP init is always executed after node is known.

Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.
What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.
Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.

To quote Alan Cox:
The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.
A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
that directory.
This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

By entering a non-zero value here, a user can enable the nmi watchdog to
monitor the online cpus in the system. By entering a zero value here, a
user can disable the nmi watchdog and free up a performance counter which
could then be utilized by the oprofile subsystem, otherwise oprofile may be

This patch cleans up the NMI interrupt path. Instead of being gated by if
the 'nmi callback' is set, the interrupt handler now calls everyone who is
registered on the die_chain and additionally checks the nmi watchdog,
reseting it if enabled. This allows more subsystems to hook into the NMI if
they need to (without being block by set_nmi_callback).

Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance
counters on the x86 chips. Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to
make reviewing easier. The SMP portion makes a lot more changes.
Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different
counter. In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate
event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it
will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they
break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).
This will help prevent subsystems like oprofile from interfering with the
nmi watchdog.

Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.
This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.
Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm. The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey

This reverts commits 11012d419c and
40dd2d20f2, which allowed us to use the
MMIO accesses for PCI config cycles even without the area being marked
reserved in the e820 memory tables.
Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some
newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old
2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage.
Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken
