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.

x86: use FIRMWARE_MEMMAP on x86/E820
This patch uses the /sys/firmware/memmap interface provided in the last patch
on the x86 architecture when E820 is used. The patch copies the E820
memory map very early, and registers the E820 map afterwards via
firmware_map_add_early().
Bernhard Walle [Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:12:54 +0000 (13:12 +0200)]
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.

result of the inconsistencies.
This patch only affects x86-64, which generally always supports PGD.
