    [PATCH] x86-64 architecture specific sync for 2.5.8 · 88e4bc32
    Andi Kleen authored
    This patch brings 2.5.8 in sync with the x86-64 2.4 development tree again
    (excluding device drivers)
    
    It has lots of bug fixes and enhancements. It only touches architecture
    specific files.
    
    - Sync with 2.5.8
    - SMP/APIC supported now.
    - Module loading works now.
    - Time keeping bugs fixed.
    - entry.S streamlined and some bugs fixed.
    - modify_ldt works now
    - mostly rewritten FPU support (including FXRSTOR for initial FPU
      initialization based on the initial state)
    - 32bit emulation enhanced and bugs fixed.
    - rewrote mm initialization and lots of cleanups in the page table handling
      __PAGE_OFFSET is now moved to 0x10000000000 and some vmalloc/ioremap
      problems have been fixed. They have an own PML4 slot now.
    - WCHAN reporting support for RIP (but not RSP)
    - Lots of various other bug fixes and cleanups.
    
    Currently broken:
    - ACPI
    - MTRR
    
    It needs some other bugfixes outside architecture specific code. I sent
    them all in separate mail.
