Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global).  Update
the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the
lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver.  The assignement of
timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the
compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook()

Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast
function for ACPI.

No changes to existing functionality.

<title>[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation</title>

<content type='text'>
Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be
replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native
operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized
instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure.  Currently these are
function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops
structure with their own variants.

All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific
register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier.

And:

+From: Andy Whitcroft &lt;apw@shadowen.org&gt;

The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup().
Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86:

    arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of
                `memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior

Move memory_setup() to avoid this.

<title>IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers</title>
<updated>2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00</updated>

<id>7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5</id>
<content type='text'>
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

<content type='text'>
This patch removes the change in behavior of the irq allocation code when
CONFIG_PCI_MSI is defined.  Removing all instances of the assumption that irq
== vector.

create_irq is rewritten to first allocate a free irq and then to assign that
irq a vector.

assign_irq_vector is made static and the AUTO_ASSIGN case which allocates an
vector not bound to an irq is removed.

The ioapic vector methods are removed, and everything now works with irqs.

The definition of NR_IRQS no longer depends on CONFIG_PCI_MSI

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.

Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless.  So this patch removes
it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

<title>[PATCH] x86: increase MAX_MP_BUSSES on default arch</title>

Vitezslav Samel &lt;samel@mail.cz&gt; reports that an HP DL380 g4 fails using the
default arch due to the ISA bus having an ID of 32.

It would have worked OK with the generic arch - for some reason the default
arch doesn't support as many busses.

So bump that up to support 256 busses, but leave it at 32 if we're building a
tiny system to save a bit of memory.

On some i386/x86_64 systems, sending an NMI IPI as a broadcast will
reset the system.  This seems to be a BIOS bug which affects machines
where one or more cpus are not under OS control.  It occurs on HT
systems with a version of the OS that is not compiled without HT
support.  It also occurs when a system is booted with max_cpus=n where
2 &lt;= n &lt; cpus known to the BIOS.  The fix is to always send NMI IPI as
a mask instead of as a broadcast.

<title>[PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 2: Rework TSC Support</title>

As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this
introduces a new tsc.c file.  The code in this file replaces the TSC
initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which
will be removed) that we want to preserve.

The code also introduces the following functionality:

o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not
  change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency

o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping
  usability

o minor cleanups to calibration math.

This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.
