Somewhere recently, the TSC got re-enabled for timekeeping on NUMAQ
machines. However, the hardware makes these get unsynchronized quite
badly. So badly, in fact, that the code to fix up the skew can just hang
on boot.
This patch re-disables them. It's nicely confined to the numaq.c file. It
would be great if this could make it into 2.6.13, I think it counts as a
bugfix.
Tested on a 16-proc 4-node NUMAQ.

It's wrong to pop a fixed number of words from stack before calling sigreturn,
as the number depends on what code is generated by the compiler for the start
of stub_segv_handler(). What we need is esp containing the address of
sigcontext. So we explicitly load that pointer into esp.

With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>
Revert the following patch, because of miscompilation problems in different
environments leading to UML not working *at all* in TT mode; it was merged
lately in 2.6 development cycle, a little after being written, and has
caused problems to lots of people; I know it's a bit too long, but it
shouldn't have been merged in first place, so I still apply for inclusion
in the -stable tree. Anyone using this feature currently is either using
some older kernel (some reports even used 2.6.12-rc4-mm2) or using this
patch, as included in my -bs patchset.
For now there's not yet a fix for this patch, so for now the best thing is
to drop it (which was widely reported to give a working kernel, and as such
was even merged in -stable tree).
"Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork. They were
essentially doing fork anyway. This cleans up the code a bit, and makes
valgrind a bit happier about grinding it."

Without this patch, intel x86_64 boxes with hyperthreading disabled in the

When the x86_64 cpu hotplug changes went in it added a check in
default_do_nmi() which kills NMI delivery on any CPU but the BSP.
The NMI watchdog is brought up quite some time before the online bit is set
in num_online_cpus so this won't work very well. The nmi watchdogs on cpus
that are not BSP will never be reprogrammed and no NMIs.
Why was this check added? How does an offlined cpu receive an NMI?

This patch:

uncovered a k7m bios bug, where the VT82C686A router is reported as
being "586-compatible". The two chips have different pirq mapping, so
this leads to "irq routing conflict" on many pci devices.
The suggested fix was discussed with Aleksey Gorelov, who helped me
to identify the problem as a probable bios bug.

On 8xx, in the case where a pagefault happens for a process who's not
the owner of the vma in question (ptrace for instance), the flush
operation is performed via the physical address.
Unfortunately, that results in a strange, unexplainable "icbi"
instruction fault, most likely due to a CPU bug (see oops below).
Avoid that by flushing the page via its kernel virtual address.

The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs. When
running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but
within a fixed polling invervall. This can lead to delays where the system
appears to do nothing. Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP
emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.

Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.
The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is
1000.
