723edb5060 Fix typos from signal_32/64.h merge
Fallout from commit 33185c504f ("x86:
merge signal_32/64.h")

Thanks to Dick Streefland who provided an useful testcase on
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/17/205 (only applicable to 2.6.24.x), that
helped a lot as a deterministic way to bisect an issue that leaded to
this fix.

da5e09a1b3 ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparam
"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT
instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH)
C-states.

When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally
negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1,
and use IO accesses for deeper C-states.

This option is useful for power and performance
comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs
where broken MWAIT support is advertised.

c1e3b377ad ACPI: Create "idle=halt" bootparam
"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using
the halt instruction.  No MWAIT, no IO accesses,
no C-states deeper than C1.

If something is broken in the idle code,
"idle=halt" is a less severe workaround
than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.

d73a731abe x86: use AS_CFI instead of UNWIND_INFO
In dwarf2_32.h, test for CONFIG_AS_CFI instead of
CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO. Turns out that searching for UNWIND_INFO
returns no match in any Kconfig or Makefile, so we're really
just throwing everything away regarding dwarf frames for i386.

The test that generates CONFIG_AS_CFI does not have anything
x86_64-specific, and right now, checking V=1 builds shows me
that the flags is there anyway, although unused.

d9fc3fd3fa x86: fix savesegment() bug causing crashes on 64-bit
i spent a fair amount of time chasing a 64-bit bootup crash that manifested
itself as bootup segfaults:

  S10network[1825]: segfault at 7f3e2b5d16b8 ip 00000031108748c9 sp 00007fffb9c14c70 error 4 in libc-2.7.so[3110800000+14d000]

eventually causing init to die and panic the system:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
  Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.26-rc9-tip #13878

after a maratonic bisection session, the bad commit turned out to be:

|     x86: remove open-coded save/load segment operations
|
|     This removes a pile of buggy open-coded implementations of savesegment
|     and loadsegment.

after some more bisection of this patch itself, it turns out that what
makes the difference are the savesegment() changes to __switch_to().

Taking a look at this portion of arch/x86/kernel/process_64.o revealed
this crutial difference:

| good:    99c:       8c e0                   mov    %fs,%eax
|          99e:       89 45 cc                mov    %eax,-0x34(%rbp)
|
| bad:     99c:       8c 65 cc                mov    %fs,-0x34(%rbp)

which is due to:

|                 unsigned fsindex;
| -               asm volatile("movl %%fs,%0" : "=r" (fsindex));
| +               savesegment(fs, fsindex);

savesegment() is implemented as:

 #define savesegment(seg, value)                                \
          asm("mov %%" #seg ",%0":"=rm" (value) : : "memory")

note the "m" modifier - it allows GCC to generate the segment move
into a memory operand as well.

But regarding segment operands there's a subtle detail in the x86
instruction set: the above 16-bit moves are zero-extend, but only
if it goes to a register.

If it goes to a memory operand, -0x34(%rbp) in the above case, there's
no zero-extend to 32-bit and the instruction will only save 16 bits
instead of the intended 32-bit.

The other 16 bits is random data - which can cause problems when that
value is used later on.

The solution is to only allow segment operands to go to registers.
This fix allows my test-system to boot up without crashing.

e2079c4386 x86: fix C1E && nx6325 stability problem
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.

Andreas Herrman reproduced similar problems:

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box.

This basically restores the dont-use-the-lapic-timer exception mechanism
that was unconditional on this box prior commit 8750bf5 ("x86: add C1E
aware idle function").

2dc807b37b x86: make max_pfn cover acpi table below 4g
When system have 4g less ram installed, and acpi table sit
near end of ram, make max_pfn cover them too,
so 64bit kernel don't need to mess up fixmap.
