Bug fixes:
1) Fix build when MAGIC_SYSRQ is turned off.
2) of_device.h header usage cleanups from Stephen Rothwell.
3) Implement IRQ stacks to deal with very real deep stack code path
situations, as reported by Mikulas Patocka. Also, fix a recursion
bug in stack overflow detection.

On older machines, probing for a nonexistent AEM interface returned an IPMI
error; when we saw this, we'd stop probing. On the x3650 M2 and (presumably)
later, we are returned a value indicating success and a buffer full of garbage
or zeroes. This causes the probe function to run in an infinite loop. To fix
this, we add one last check--if the interface number we're looking for is
higher than the number of interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing.

gcc 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 are known to miscompile the kernel:

Unfortunately a simple revert results in an uncompilable kernel.

commit "date" of three months prior to the 2.6.26 release, however it

Actually you can get the parent without frame pointer if you just
force gcc to emit mcount before touching the stack frame (and manual
insertion pass would do that). Then parent is at 4(%esp)/8(%rsp)

without frame pointers, also e.g. crash or systemtap know how to do proper

| Linus Torvalds | Re: Efficient x86 and x86_64 NOP microbenchmarks
Andi, you seem to have missed the whole point. This is a _correctness_
issue as long as the nop is not a single instruction. And the workaround
for that is uglier than just making a single-instruction nop.
So the question now is to find a good nop that _is_ a single atomic
instruction. Your blathering about frame pointers is missing the whole
point!

| Aug 13, 4:21 pm 2008 |
| Jeremy Fitzhardinge | Re: Efficient x86 and x86_64 NOP microbenchmarks
Why? You can always get the calling function, because its return
address is on the stack (assuming mcount is called before the function
puts its own frame on the stack). But without a frame pointer, you
can't necessarily get the caller's caller.
But I think Andi's point is that gcc forces frame pointers on when you
enable mcount, so there's no choice in the matter.

fxsave/xsave instructions will not touch all the bytes in the
fxsave/xsave frame. Clear the user buffer before doing fxsave/xsave
directly to user buffer during the sigcontext setup.
This is essentially needed in the context of xsave(for example,
some of the fields in the xsave header are not touched by the xsave
and defined as must be zero).
This will also present uniform and clean context to the user (from
which user can safely do fxrstor/xrstor).

save_i387_xstate() is already doing the required access_ok(). Remove
the redundant access_ok() before it.

| cboulte | [PATCH] /proc/self/maps doesn't display the real file offset
2.6.26 kernel on i386 platform.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11318
In function show_map (file: fs/proc/task_mmu.c), if vma->vm_pgoff >
2^20 than (vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SIZE) is greater than 2^32 (with
PAGE_SIZE equal to 4096 (i.e. 2^12). The next seq_printf use an
unsigned long for the conversion of (vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SIZE), as a
result the offset value displayed in /proc/self/maps is truncated if
the page offset is greater than 2^20.

| Mark Langsdorf | [PATCH][retry 1] 2.6.27-rc2: invalidate caches before going ...
When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed
to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed.
Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush,
which can add dirty data back to the cache. On some AMD platforms,
additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because
of this dirty data.
Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before
halting.

(please keep Cc:s intact)
hm, why not do what i suggested in my first mail:
if (cpu >= i486)
asm("cli; wbinvd; cli; 1: hlt; jmp 1b")
else
halt();
perhaps turn it into a wbivd_halt() primitive, to make it clean and even
more obvious.
This sequence does matter to reliable suspend/resume, and in theory gcc
could insert something before a halt() as well.
[ i only have a pretty far-fetched example that in all likelyhood wont
happen in practice: fo...

I agree. I have already begun to bisect to find where the other problem,
which prevents reverting, might have been introduced. Unfortunately, I'm
on my way to work as soon as I hit the "Send" button on this msg, so I
I assumed I should use 'git' to apply the patch. Using 'git apply' worked
perfectly, though -- 'git status' reported that the files had changed, and
I looked over the files to see if the changes were what were intended by
the patch. Also, the kernel built without errors.
I'll c...

I see several things that should be fixed in ISAPNP. I'm working
on those, but they're probably post-2.6.27 material.
In the meantime, are you seeing new problems that were introduced
between 2.6.26 and 2.6.27-rc3? If so, I should try to fix them
right away so we can get a fix in 2.6.27.
Your original report of "WARNING: at lib/vsprintf.c:609 vsnprintf+0x36/0x43d()"
has been fixed already. I *think* the remaining issues about the
parport1 IRQ and the MPU401 are related to the BIOS configurat...
