There is no need to keep NMI_DISABLED definition and use it

- IO-APIC and APIC chips are programmed for nmi_watchdog support at very
early stage of kernel booting and not having nmi_watchdog specified as

- enable nmi_watchdog thru /proc/sys/kernel/nmi if it was not specified at

x86 boot: allow overlapping early reserve memory ranges
Add support for overlapping early memory reservations.
In general, they still can't overlap, and will panic
with "Overlapping early reservations" if they do overlap.
But if a memory range is reserved with the new call:
reserve_early_overlap_ok()

reserve_early()
then subsequent early reservations are allowed to overlap.
This new reserve_early_overlap_ok() call is only used in one
place so far, which is the "BIOS reserved" reservation for the
the EBDA region, which out of Paranoia reserves more than what
the BIOS might have specified, and which thus might overlap with
another legitimate early memory reservation (such as, perhaps,

Making a variable page-aligned by using

variables in the remainder of the section unaligned.
This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and

linker will make sure they're aligned properly. Unfortunately it
requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros...

This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on
the local node. The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush
messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit".
The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to
native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c).
This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware
is not yet available.
The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics.
The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of
many /sys files. The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics
should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging.
Issues to be fixed later:
- The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200
(see UV_BAU_MESSAGE). It should be dynamically assigned in the future.
- The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem
in the simulator.

The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to
the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After
that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.
The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
"early" and "late". It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
then it's still valid. Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
instead:
* Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
to topology cpumask_t maps are available. Otherwise, use the function
returning the cpumask_t value. This is useful if cpumask_t set size

for (cpu = 0; cpu < NR_CPUS; cpu++)
prev_nmi_count[cpu] = cpu_pda(cpu)->__nmi_count;
As I mentioned it works fine on both of my systems so could you try it out?
Thanks!
Mike

x86, ioapic, acpi quirk: disable IRQ 0 through I/O APIC for some HP systems
Some HP laptops have a problem with their DSDT reporting as
HP/SB400/10000, which includes some code which overrides all temperature
trip points to 16C if the INTIN2 input of the I/O APIC is enabled. This
input is incorrectly designated the ISA IRQ 0 via an interrupt source
override even though it is wired to the output of the master 8259A and
INTIN0 is not connected at all. So far two models have been identified,
namely nx6125 and nx6325.
Use a knob provided by the I/O APIC interrupt registration code to
abandon any attempts to route IRQ 0 through the I/O APIC for these
systems.

x86, ioapic, acpi: add a knob to disable IRQ 0 through I/O APIC
As discovered recently some systems exhibit problems when the 8254 timer
IRQ is routed through the I/O APIC. These problems do not affect the
timer IRQ itself and therefore cannot be detected when the correctness of
operation of the interrupt is verified in check_timer(). Therefore the
I/O APIC path of the timer IRQ has to be disabled entirely.
This is a change that lets platforms ask for the timer IRQ not to be
registered in the I/O APIC interrupt tables. The local APIC and ExtINTA
paths are unaffected. This request is only taken into account for ACPI
platforms as MP table systems seem unaffected so far.
