i386: fix a hang on stuck nmi watchdog
In the case when an nmi gets stucks the endflag stays equal to zero.
This causes the busy looping on other cpus to continue, even though the
nmi test is done.
On my machine with out the change below the system would hang right
after check_nmi_watchdog(). The change below just sets endflag prior to
checking if the test was successful or not.
The CLFLUSH for the modified code line in text_poke was supposed
to speed up CPU recovery. Unfortunately it seems to cause hangs
on some VIA C3s (at least on VIA Esther Model 10 Stepping 9)
Remove it.
Fix the NMI watchdog on Intel CoreDuo processor where the kernel would
get stuck during boot. The issue is related to errata AE49, where the
PERFEVTSEL1 counter does not have a working enable bit. Thus it is not
possible to use it for NMI.
The patch creates a dedicated wd_ops for CoreDuo which falls back to
using PERFEVTSEL0. The other Intel processors supporting the
architectural PMU will keep on using PERFEVTSEL1 as this allows other
subsystems, such as perfmon, to use PERFEVTSEL0 for PEBS monitoring in
particular. Bug initially reported by Daniel Walker.

Fix spurious syscall tracing after PTRACE_DETACH + PTRACE_ATTACH
When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This
means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an
unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.
A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this
constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.
Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

[XFS] fix nasty quota hashtable allocation bug
This git mod: 77e4635ae191774526ed695482a151ac986f3806
converted to a "greedy" allocation interface, but for the quota hashtables
it switched from allocating XFS_QM_HASHSIZE (nr of elements)
xfs_dqhash_t's to allocating only XFS_QM_HASHSIZE *bytes* - quite a lot
smaller! Then when we converted hsize "back" to nr of elements (the
division line) hsize went to 0. This was leading to oopses when running
any quota tests on the Fedora 8 test kernel, but the problem has been
there for almost a year.
- in xfs_probe_cluster rename the inner len to pg_len. There's no harm
here because the outer len isn't used after the inner len comes into
existence but it keeps the code clean.
- in xfs_da_do_buf remove the inner i because they don't overlap
and they are both the same type.
- remove the != 0 inside the unlikely in ASSERT_ALWAYS because sparse now
complains about comparisons between pointers and 0
- add a standalone ASSERT implementation because defining it to
ASSERT_ALWAYS means the string is expanded before the token passing
stringification. This way we get the actual content of the
assertion in the assfail message and don't overflow sparse's
stringification buffer leading to sparse error messages.
Apparently XEN does not keep the contents of the 48-bit gdt_48 data
structure that is passed to lgdt in the XEN machine state. Instead it
appears to save the _address_ of the 48-bit descriptor
somewhere. Unfortunately this data happens to reside on the stack and
is probably no longer availiable at the time of the actual protected
mode jump.
This is Xen bug but given that there is a one-line patch to work
around this problem, the linux kernel should probably do this. My fix
is to make the gdt_48 description in setup_gdt static (in setup_idt
this is already the case). This allows the kernel to boot under
Xen HVM again.

Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old

even when there was no actual requirement for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
This was triggered by SUSPEND_SMP that does a select HOTPLUG_CPU.

NFS: Fix the mount regression
This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when
mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters).
The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel
first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the
user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if
that search fails.
Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere
since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.
x86: be even more careful about checking the stack frame on dumping
lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel
does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking
that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't
handle quite right.
This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the
code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.
Thanks to Rusty Russell for debugging the lguest failure-

Do not use the ia64 clocksource on non-ia64 architectures
The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code
for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource
implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use.
On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially
multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one
is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs.
Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but
that is not the case right now.
