The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_,
after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at
random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of
the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there
were interrupts lost or something similar.

Now that rpcb_next_version has been split into an IPv4 version and an IPv6

RPC procedure in rpcb_next_version.
Fix the Oops simply by having rpcb_getport_async pass the correct RPC
procedure as an argument.
It is wrong to be freeing up the rpcbind arguments if the call to
rpcb_call_async() fails, since they should already have been freed up by
rpcb_map_release().
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte
ranges.
Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM
pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the
evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns
more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on
page->index==0.

Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3.
I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write
a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
have the child incorrectly see the second write.
Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
much recently).
It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently,
hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they
are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware
which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and
so will have different needs anyway.

x86: use FIRMWARE_MEMMAP on x86/E820
This patch uses the /sys/firmware/memmap interface provided in the last patch

memory map very early, and registers the E820 map afterwards via
firmware_map_add_early().

sysfs: add /sys/firmware/memmap
This patch adds /sys/firmware/memmap interface that represents the BIOS
(or Firmware) provided memory map. The tree looks like:
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/start (hex number)
end (hex number)
type (string)
... /1/start
end
type
With the following shell snippet one can print the memory map in the same form
the kernel prints itself when booting on x86 (the E820 map).
--------- 8< --------------------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /sys/firmware/memmap
for dir in * ; do
start=$(cat $dir/start)
end=$(cat $dir/end)
type=$(cat $dir/type)
printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
done
--------- >8 --------------------------
That patch only provides the needed interface:
1. The sysfs interface.
2. The structure and enumeration definition.
3. The function firmware_map_add() and firmware_map_add_early()
that should be called from architecture code (E820/EFI, for
example) to add the contents to the interface.
If the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP, the interface does
nothing without cluttering the architecture-specific code with #ifdef's.
The purpose of the new interface is kexec: While /proc/iomem represents
the *used* memory map (e.g. modified via kernel parameters like 'memmap'
and 'mem'), the /sys/firmware/memmap tree represents the unmodified memory
map provided via the firmware. So kexec can:
- use the original memory map for rebooting,
- use the /proc/iomem for setting up the ELF core headers for kdump
case that should only represent the memory of the system.
Rather than using _PAGE_GLOBAL - which not all CPUs support - to test
CPA, use one of the reserved-for-software-use PTE flags instead. This
allows CPA testing to work on CPUs which don't support PGD.

x86_32: remove __PAGE_KERNEL(_EXEC)
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
Older x86-32 processors do not support global mappings (PGD), so must
only use it if the processor supports it.
The _PAGE_KERNEL* flags always have _PAGE_KERNEL set, since logically
we always want it set.
This is OK even on processors which do not support PGD, since all
_PAGE flags are masked with __supported_pte_mask before being turned
into a real in-pagetable pte. On 32-bit systems, __supported_pte_mask
is initialized to not contain _PAGE_GLOBAL, and it is then added if
the CPU is found to support it.
The x86-32 code used to use __PAGE_KERNEL/__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for this
purpose, but they're now redundant and can be removed.

Phew. OK, I've worked this out. Short version is that's it's a false
alarm, and there was no real failure here. Long version:
* I changed the code to create the physical mapping pagetables to
reuse any existing mapping rather than replace it. Specifically,
reusing an pud pointed to by the pgd caused this symptom to appear.
* The specific PUD being reused is the one created statically in
head_64.S, which creates an initial 1GB mapping.
* That mapping doesn't have _PAGE_GLOBAL set on it, due to the
inconsistency between __PAGE_* and PAGE_*.
* The CPA test attempts to clear _PAGE_GLOBAL, and then checks to
see that the resulting range is 1) shattered into 4k pages, and 2)
has no _PAGE_GLOBAL.
* However, since it didn't have _PAGE_GLOBAL on that range to start
with, change_page_attr_clear() had nothing to do, and didn't
bother shattering the range,
* resulting in the reported messages
The simple fix is to set _PAGE_GLOBAL in level2_ident_pgt.
An additional fix to make CPA testing more robust by using some other
pagetable bit (one of the unused available-to-software ones). This
would solve spurious CPA test warnings under Xen which uses _PAGE_GLOBAL
for its own purposes (ie, not under guest control).
Also, we should revisit the use of _PAGE_GLOBAL in asm-x86/pgtable.h,
and use it consistently, and drop MAKE_GLOBAL. The first time I
proposed it it caused breakages in the very early CPA code; with luck
that's all fixed now.

Use SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK in ia32entry.S in the places where the active
stack is the usermode stack.

x86: limit E820 map when a user-defined memory map is specified
This patch brings back limiting of the E820 map when a user-defined
E820 map is specified. While the behaviour of i386 (32 bit) was to limit
the E820 map (and /proc/iomem), the behaviour of x86-64 (64 bit) was not to
limit.
That patch limits the E820 map again for both x86 architectures.
Code was tested for compilation and booting on a 32 bit and 64 bit system.

x86, 64-bit: swapgs pvop with a user-stack can never be called
It's never safe to call a swapgs pvop when the user stack is current -
it must be inline replaced. Rather than making a call, the
SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK pvop always just puts "swapgs" as a placeholder,
which must either be replaced inline or trap'n'emulated (somehow).
