8b6451fe5c x86: fix switch_to() clobbers
Liu Pingfan noticed that switch_to() clobbers more registers than its
asm constraints specify.

We get away with this due to luck mostly - schedule()
by its nature only has 'local' state which gets reloaded
automatically. Fix it nevertheless, we could hit this anytime.

it turns out that with the extra constraints gcc manages to make
schedule() even more compact:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  28626	    684	   2640	  31950	   7cce	sched.o.before

and will get:

   Marking TSC unstable due to TSCs unsynchronized

even if the CPUs have X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC set.

this quick fix will check if the cpu is from AMD.

but vsmp still needs that checking...

bc0a733fac x86: define outb_pic and inb_pic to stop using outb_p and inb_p
x86: define outb_pic and inb_pic to stop using outb_p and inb_p

The delay between io port accesses to the PIC is now defined using outb_pic
and inb_pic.  This fix provides the next step, using udelay(2) to define the
*PIC specific* timing requirements, rather than on bus-oriented timing, which
is not well calibrated.

Again, the primary reason for fixing this is to use proper delay strategy,
and in particular to fix crashes that can result from using port 80 writes
on machines that have resources on port 80, such as the ENE chips used by Quanta
in latops it designs and sells to, e.g. HP.

These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature,
the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the
pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs.

Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet.

Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the
boot line can be used to enable it. If enabled in the .config then
nogbpages boot option disables it.

From: Juergen Beisert <j.beisert@pengutronix.de>

This patch separates the current code into i.MX2 and i.MX3 and modifies
the Kconfig files to reflect this separation in the menus.

Things happend since last review:
 - make i.MX3 compile again
 - fix some structure names to be conform with all the shared/common
   sources from i.MX1/i.MX2

Previous changes:
 - stay conform to other Kconfig files (note from Russell King)

f1241c87a1 Add down_timeout and change ACPI to use it
ACPI currently emulates a timeout for semaphores with calls to
down_trylock and sleep.  This produces horrible behaviour in terms of
fairness and excessive wakeups.  Now that we have a unified semaphore
implementation, adding a real down_trylock is almost trivial.

9e74a6b898 [S390] kernel: show last breaking-event-address on oops
Newer s390 models have a breaking-event-address-recording register.
Each time an instruction causes a break in the sequential instruction
execution, the address is saved in that hardware register. On a program
interrupt the address is copied to the lowcore address 272-279, which
makes it software accessible.

This patch changes the program check handler and the stack overflow
checker to copy the value into the pt_regs argument.
The oops output is enhanced to show the last known breaking address.
It might give additional information if the stack trace is corrupted.

The feature is only available on 64 bit.

The new oops output looks like:

I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes -
I'm nervous about this causing include loops.

However, there's a separate point to be discussed here.

That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel.
If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then
that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h
rather than linux/irq.h.

So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a
couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity()
to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h
and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be
rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context
registers.)

Build tested on ARM PXA family kernels and ARM's Realview platform
kernels which both use genirq.

c10fde0d9e [S390] Vertical cpu management.
If vertical cpu polarization is active then the hypervisor will
dispatch certain cpus for a longer time than other cpus for maximum
performance. For example if a guest would have three virtual cpus,
each of them with a share of 33 percent, then in case of vertical
cpu polarization all of the processing time would be combined to a
single cpu which would run all the time, while the other two cpus
would get nearly no cpu time.

There are three different types of vertical cpus: high, medium and
low. Low cpus hardly get any real cpu time, while high cpus get a
full real cpu. Medium cpus get something in between.

In order to switch between the two possible modes (default is
horizontal) a 0 for horizontal polarization or a 1 for vertical
polarization must be written to the dispatching sysfs attribute:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/dispatching

The polarization of each single cpu can be figured out by the
polarization sysfs attribute of each cpu:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/polarization

horizontal, vertical:high, vertical:medium, vertical:low or unknown.

When switching polarization the polarization attribute may contain
the value unknown until the configuration change is done and the
kernel has figured out the new polarization of each cpu.

Note that running a system with different types of vertical cpus may
result in significant performance regressions. If possible only one
type of vertical cpus should be used. All other cpus should be
offlined.
