I would suggest to remove the "experimental" status from Kdump.
Kdump is now in the kernel since a long time and used by Enterprise

This patch series adds a new interface /sys/firmware/memmap

While the first patch adds the generic interface, the second

Hi Bernhard,
Thanks for the patch. Couple of thoughts.
Do we really need another CONFIG option (CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP)? To,
me this does not seem to be a big chunk of code at the same time I am
assuming that most of the people will use it (because of kexec). So
probably, it might not make lot of sense to put additional CONFIG option.
How about leaving the decision of memory type on arch dependent code? How

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.

your /proc/interrutps showed just eth1, and it was on IRQ 177 --
was that from a different boot than this dmesg?
in any case, when you boot these on a new kernel
they should both show up on IRQ 18 (because they're on GSI 18).
Also, these IOAPIC interrupts are not programmable -- they
are hard-coded, so the issue is not in the ACPI PCI interrupt

Hi Andrew.
quirk_system_pci_resources() disables a PnP mem resource that overlaps a
PCI BAR so as to not keep the PCI driver from claiming the resource.
Have it do the same for io resources.
Here, ACPI claims ports that overlap with my soundcard causing the
soundcard driver to fail to load. It's unknown why my ACPI BIOS claims
those ports; it did not use to but this is not a (kernel) regression.
Some odd BIOS reconfig triggered by temporarily removing the card seems
to have brought this on.

But I think you're right and resource.flags is wrong. Because there's

| Agner Fog | ABI change for device drivers using future AVX instruction set
The announced future Intel AVX instruction set extends the 128-bit XMM
registers to 256-bit YMM registers.
Intel has proposed relevant ABI extensions, which I assume will be
adopted in the System V ABI. See references below.
Some details are not covered in the Intel documents. I have discussed
this with an Intel engineer who has supplied all the details I asked
for. I have listed the necessary ABI changes in detail in my manual on
calling conventions (see below).
One problem that has not ...

Linux uses its own routines in these cases - and in fact for MMX we
The beauty of the Linux kernel being source based - we don't have to worry

the answer is: you don't use AVX in drivers just as you don't use SSE
in drivers.
Let me repeat this loud and clear:
It is not allowed to use floating point, SSE of AVX in device drivers.
(there are few places that very carefully do this anyway, the raid5
a patch introducing xsave/xrestor is being discussed already here...
this is not correct; the library functions are provided by the kernel
and do not use AVX etc.
