eb57c1cf05 Hibernation: Rework platform support ioctls (rev. 2)
Modify the hibernation userland interface by adding two new ioctls to it,
SNAPSHOT_PLATFORM_SUPPORT and SNAPSHOT_POWER_OFF, that can be used,
respectively, to switch the hibernation platform support on/off and to make the
kernel transition the system to the hibernation state (eg. ACPI S4) using the
platform (eg. ACPI) driver.

These ioctls are intended to replace the misdesigned SNAPSHOT_PMOPS ioctl,
which from now is regarded as obsolete and will be removed in the future.

af508b34d2 Hibernation: Introduce SNAPSHOT_GET_IMAGE_SIZE ioctl
Add a new ioctl, SNAPSHOT_GET_IMAGE_SIZE, returning the size of the (just
created) hibernation image, to the hibernation userland interface.

This ioctl is necessary so that the userland utilities using the interface need
not access the hibernation image header, owned by the kernel, in order to obtain
the size of the image.

de6bbd1d30 [AUDIT] break large execve argument logging into smaller messages
execve arguments can be quite large.  There is no limit on the number of
arguments and a 4G limit on the size of an argument.

this patch prints those aruguments in bite sized pieces.  a userspace size
limitation of 8k was discovered so this keeps messages around 7.5k

single arguments larger than 7.5k in length are split into multiple records
and can be identified as aX[Y]=

29e75252da [IPV4] route cache: Introduce rt_genid for smooth cache invalidation
Current ip route cache implementation is not suited to large caches.

We can consume a lot of CPU when cache must be invalidated, since we
currently need to evict all cache entries, and this eviction is
sometimes asynchronous. min_delay & max_delay can somewhat control this
asynchronism behavior, but whole thing is a kludge, regularly triggering
infamous soft lockup messages. When entries are still in use, this also
consumes a lot of ram, filling dst_garbage.list.

A better scheme is to use a generation identifier on each entry,
so that cache invalidation can be performed by changing the table
identifier, without having to scan all entries.
No more delayed flushing, no more stalling when secret_interval expires.

Invalidated entries will then be freed at GC time (controled by
ip_rt_gc_timeout or stress), or when an invalidated entry is found
in a chain when an insert is done.
Thus we keep a normal equilibrium.

This patch :
- renames rt_hash_rnd to rt_genid (and makes it an atomic_t)
- Adds a new rt_genid field to 'struct rtable' (filling a hole on 64bit)
- Checks entry->rt_genid at appropriate places :

The xfer_align sw_params parameter has never been used in a sane manner,
and no one understands what this does exactly.  The current
implementation looks also buggy because it allows write of shorter size
than xfer_align.  So, if you do partial writes, the write isn't actually
aligned at all.

109c53f840 [ALSA] sound/isa: kill pnp_resource_change
This removes the pnp_resource_change use from the ALSA ISAPnP drivers. In
2.4 these were useful in providing an easy path to setting the resources,
but in 2.6 they retain function as a layering violation only.
This makes for a nice cleanup (-550 lines) of ALSA but moreover, ALSA is the
only remaining user of pnp_init_resource_table(), pnp_resource_change() and
pnp_manual_config_dev() (and, in fact, of 'struct pnp_resource_table') in
the tree outide of drivers/pnp itself meaning it makes for more cleanup
potential inside the PnP layer.
Thomas Renninger acked their removal from that side, you did from the ALSA
side (CC list just copied from that thread).
Against current alsa-kernel HG. Many more potential cleanups in there, but
this _only_ removes the pnp_resource_change code. Compile tested against
current alsa-kernel HG and compile- and use-tested against 2.6.23.x (few
offsets).

f212ec4b7b x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.

If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.

With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.

In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.

An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data

without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

e6c4dc6c36 x86: GEODE add the "mfgptfix" boot time option to fix MFGPT timers
The new "mfgptfix" boot command line option may be usd to fix MFGPT
timers on AMD Geode platforms when the BIOS has incorrectly applied
a workaround. TinyBIOS version 0.98 is known to be affected, 0.99
fixes the problem by letting the user disable the workaround.

093af8d7f0 x86_32: trim memory by updating e820
when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the
RAM and need to update e820.

reuse some code on 64-bit as well.

here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move
mtrr_bp_init early.

The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system:

from:

 [    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable)

to:

 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable)
 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved)

According to Justin it makes quite a difference:

|  When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386,
|  takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).

ac72e7888a x86: add generic clearcpuid=... option
Add a generic option to clear any cpuid bit. I added it because it was
very easy to add with the new generic cpuid disable bitmap and perhaps
it will be useful in the future.

99fc8d424b x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrs
On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached.  Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e.  right around init time).

This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match.  A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.

Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.

This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

aaf2304242 x86: disable the GART early, 64-bit
For K8 system: 4G RAM with memory hole remapping enabled, or more than
4G RAM installed.

when try to use kexec second kernel, and the first doesn't include
gart_shutdown. the second kernel could have different aper position than
the first kernel. and second kernel could use that hole as RAM that is
still used by GART set by the first kernel. esp. when try to kexec
2.6.24 with sparse mem enable from previous kernel (from RHEL 5 or SLES
10). the new kernel will use aper by GART (set by first kernel) for
vmemmap. and after new kernel setting one new GART. the position will be
real RAM. the _mapcount set is lost.

So could try to disable that GART if possible.

According to Ingo

add e820 modification for gart inconsistent setting.

gart_fix_e820=off could be used to disable e820 fix.

a25bd94964 x86: add the "print code before the trapping instruction" feature to 64 bit
The 32 bit x86 tree has a very useful feature that prints the Code: line
for the code even before the trapping instrution (and the start of the
trapping instruction is then denoted with a <>). Unfortunately, the 64 bit
x86 tree does not yet have this feature, making diagnosing backtraces harder
than needed.

This patch adds this feature in the same was as the 32 bit tree has
(including the same kernel boot parameter), and including a bugfix
to make the code use probe_kernel_address() rarther than a buggy (deadlocking)
__get_user.
