Remove pagex pseudo page fault code. It does not work together with the
system call speedup that makes the complete system call path enabled for
interrupts. To make pagex and the syscall speedup code work together we would
have to add code to the program check handler to do a critical section cleanup
like the asynchronous interrupt code. This would make program checks slower.
Not what we want.
Newer versions of z/VM have the improved pfault pseudo page fault interface.
This replaces the old pagex interface and does not have the problem. So its
better to just rip out the pagex code.

This patch reverts back the changes to HOSTCFLAGS and HOSTLDFLAGS
When we were building complete binaries to get constants (such as ptrace
register layout on stack) from host userspace headers, we needed to make the
arch for building HOST binaries match our one: i.e. on a 64bit system
compiling 32bit binaries, we compile 32-bit hostprogs and need, say, 32-bit
ncurses. Now we can revert that - that avoids problem with, say, menuconfig
and ncurses, on a system which can't compile well 32-bit programs.

So I fixed the thing by rewriting the __asm__ constraints more like unistd.h
ones.
Note: in syscall6 case I had to add one more instruction (i.e. moving arg6 in
eax and shuffling things around) - it's needed for the function to be valid in
general (we can't load the value from the stack, relative to ebp, because we
change it), but could be avoided since we actually use a constant as param 6.
The only fix would be to turn stub_syscall6 to a macro and use a "i"

[PATCH] i386: LVT entries remaining unmasked on reboot
Excerpt from bugzilla entry
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5518
"i386 version of Reboot-through-BIOS is unsafe: it forgets to mask APIC LVT
interrupts before jumping to a BIOS entry point. As a result, BIOS ends up
bombarded with interrupts early on boot. The BIOS does not expect it since
following a "normal" hardware cpu reset, all APIC LVT registers have the
Mask bit (16) set and can't generate interrupts.
For example, the version of Phoenix BIOS used by VMware enables interrupts
for the first time before masking/clearing APIC LVT. The APIC Timer LVT
register is still set up for a timer interrupt delivery with a high vector
from the previous Linux incarnation (0xef in our case). The BIOS has not
fully initialized its IDT at this point and the real mode gate for 0xef
remains all zeros. Vector 0xef dispatches BIOS to address 0:0, BIOS takes
a #GP and eventually hangs.
machine_shutdown() does attempt to shut down APIC before jumping to BIOS,

[PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepages
This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to
fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by
this patch).
The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64
introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id c594adad5653491813959277fb87a2fef54c4e05) due to a misunderstanding of the
srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit
process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual).
In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for
hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for
hugepages.
In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to
be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages
if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all
addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is
governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage
if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M
granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked
for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB
granularity).
To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending
patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a
hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of
1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when
using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are
stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply
disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable
them some other day).
Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5
LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

[ARM] Fix /proc/cpuinfo format for ARM SMP
glibc expects to count lines beginning with "processor" to determine

We don't want to call dump_cpu_info() from cpu_init() after boot since
it produces a lot of unnecessary noise - since cpu_init() gets called
on resume and hotplug cpu insertion events.

[PATCH] kbuild: permanently fix kernel configuration include mess
Include autoconf.h into every kernel compilation via the gcc command line
using -imacros. This ensures that we have the kernel configuration
included from the start, rather than relying on each file having #include
<linux/config.h> as appropriate. History has shown that this is something
which is difficult to get right.
Since we now include the kernel configuration automatically, make
configcheck becomes meaningless, so remove it.

[PATCH] reset tss->io_bitmap_owner in sys_ioperm()
my patch "x86: initialise tss->io_bitmap_owner to something" (commit ID d5cd4aadd3d220afac8e3e6d922e333592551f7d) introduced a problem with a
program (DOSEMU) that called ioperm after already doing some port i/o.
The problem is that a process switch return causes tss->io_bitmap_base
to be set to IO_BITMAP_OFFSET so that the fault (that *really* sets the
io bitmap) never triggers.

[PATCH] Set the vga cursor even when hidden
Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,
so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This
is a great loss for such people.
Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the
cursor while still moving it.
Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies
asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too.
