Andy Currid d44647b0a6 [PATCH] Fix HPET operation on 32-bit NVIDIA platforms
From: "Andy Currid" <ACurrid@nvidia.com>

This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms
that have HPET enabled.

When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is
advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the
kernel was ignoring this override.  The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides
from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.

Vivek Goyal be0d03f1c3 [PATCH] i386 kdump boot cpu physical apicid fix
o Kdump second kernel boot fails after a system crash if second kernel
  is UP and acpi=off and if crash occurred on a non-boot cpu.

o Issue here is that MP tables report boot cpu lapic id as 0 but second
  kernel is booting on a different processor and MP table data is stale
  in this context. Hence apic_id_registered() check fails in setup_local_APIC()
  when called from APIC_init_uniprocessor().

o Problem is not seen if ACPI is enabled as in that case
  boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from the LAPIC.

o Problem is not seen with SMP kernels as well because in this case also
  boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from LAPIC. (smp_boot_cpus()).

o The problem is fixed by reading boot_cpu_physical_apicid from LAPIC
  if it is a UP kernel and CRASH_DUMP is enabled.

Kimball Murray e0c1e9bf81 [PATCH] x86_64: avoid IRQ0 ioapic pin collision
The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device.  The patch
corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided.  Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up.  The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices.  The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

Ashok Raj 35076bdfa1 [PATCH] enable X86_PC for HOTPLUG_CPU
CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI.

- First we introduced no_broadcast option
    (see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h)

- x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386)
  since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI.

- We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as
  x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was
  compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP.  The message "You have >8
  CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the
  above ARCH wasnt selected.

So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386
until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done
right.

Andi Kleen 18bd057b14 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending.  This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.

This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.

The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.

This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.

I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.

Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.

Patch for both i386/x86-64.

The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.

This is CVE-2006-1056

Prasanna S Panchamukhi 34c37e1869 [PATCH] Switch Kprobes inline functions to __kprobes for i386
Andrew Morton pointed out that compiler might not inline the functions
marked for inline in kprobes.  There-by allowing the insertion of probes
on these kprobes routines, which might cause recursion.

This patch removes all such inline and adds them to kprobes section
there by disallowing probes on all such routines.  Some of the routines
can even still be inlined, since these routines gets executed after the
kprobes had done necessay setup for reentrancy.

Samuel Thibault 7337445455 [PATCH] apm: fix Armada laptops again
Fix the "apm: set display: Interface not engaged" error on Armada laptops
again.

Jordan said:

  I think this is fine.  It seems to me that this may be the fault of one or
  both of the APM solutions handling this situation in a non-standard way, but
  since APM is used very little on the Geode, and I have direct access to our
  BIOS folks, if this problem comes up with a customer again, we'll solve it
  from the firmware.
