[PATCH] Add 64bit jiffies compares (for use with get_jiffies_64)

The current time_before/time_after macros will fail typechecks
when passed u64 values (as returned by get_jiffies_64()). On 64bit
systems, this will just result in a warning about mismatching types
without explicit casts, but since unsigned long and u64
(unsigned long long) are of same size, it will still work.
On 32bit systems, a long is 32bits, so the value from get_jiffies_64()
will be truncated by the cast and thus lose all the precision gained by
64bit jiffies.

[PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing conf1

Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses
happen for some non existent devices.  i386/x86-64 do some early
device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable
this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early
accesses which are always type1.

This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter.

a single global that is only used by PCI.

[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinder

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.

This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information.  Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.

For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem.  The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.

It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.

This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16
unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame

[PATCH] Put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment

This patch updates x86_64 linker script to pack any .note.* sections
into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file.

To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment.  This requires
us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need
to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the
sections to them appropriately.  Fortunately, each section will
default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many
changes to vmlinux.lds.S.

The corresponding change is already made for i386 in -mm and I'd like
this patch to join it. The section to segment mappings do change as do
the segment flags so some time in -mm would be good for that reason as
well, just in case.

In particular .data and .bss move from the text segment to the data
segment and .data.cacheline_aligned .data.read_mostly are put in the
data segment instead of a separate one.

I think that it would be possible to exactly match the existing section
to segment mapping and flags but it would be a more intrusive change and
I'm not sure there is a reason for the existing layout other than it is
what you get by default if you don't explicitly specify something else.
If there is a reason for the existing layout then I will of course make
the more intrusive change. If there is no reason we could probably drop
the executable or writable flags from some segments but I don't know how
much attention is paid to them anyway so it might not be worth the
effort.

The vsyscall related sections need to go in a different segment to the
normal data segment and so I invented a "user" segment to contain them.
I believe this should appear to be another data segment as far as the
kernel is concerned so the flags are setup accordingly.

The notes will be used in the Xen paravirt_ops backend to provide
additional information to the domain builder. I am in the process of
converting the xen-unstable kernels and tools over to this scheme at the
moment to support this in the future.

It has been suggested to me that the notes segment should have flags 0
(i.e. not readable) since it is only used by the loader and is not used
at runtime. For now I went with a readable segment since that is what
the i386 patch uses.

AK: dropped NOTES addition right now because the needed infrastructure
for that is not merged yet

[PATCH] non lazy "sleazy" fpu implementation

Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily.  This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive
save/restore all the time).  However for very frequent FPU users...  you
take an extra trap every context switch.

The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.  If the app indeed uses the FPU, the
trap is avoided.  (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the
previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously).

After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until
there are 5 consecutive ones again).  The reason for this is to give apps
that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some
time.

[PATCH] X86_64 monotonic_clock goes backwards

I've noticed some erratic behavior while testing the X86_64 version
of monotonic_clock().

While spinning in a loop reading monotonic clock values (pinned to a
single cpu) I noticed that the difference between subsequent values
occasionally went negative (time going backwards).

I found that in the following code:
                this_offset = get_cycles_sync();
                /* FIXME: 1000 or 1000000? */
-->             offset = (this_offset - last_offset)*1000 / cpu_khz;
        }
        return base + offset;

the offset sometimes turns out to be 0, even though
this_offset > last_offset.

+Added fix From: Toyo Abe <toyoa@mvista.com>

The x86_64-mm-monotonic-clock.patch in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 made a change to
the updating of monotonic_base. It now uses cycles_2_ns().

I suggest that a set_cyc2ns_scale() should be done prior to the setup_irq().
Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0
is enabled.
