      [PATCH] x86-64: no paravirt for X86_VOYAGER or X86_VISWS · f0f32fcc
      Randy Dunlap authored
      Since Voyager and Visual WS already define ARCH_SETUP,
      it looks like PARAVIRT shouldn't be offered for them.

      [PATCH] i386: Fix io_apic.c warning · 306a22c2
      Andi Kleen authored
      gcc 4.2 warns
      
      linux/arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c: In function ‘create_irq’:
      linux/arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c:2488: warning: ‘vector’ may be used uninitialized in this function
      
      The warning is false, but somewhat legitimate so work around it.

      [PATCH] i386: export smp_num_siblings for oprofile · 7e74437c
      Randy Dunlap authored
      oprofile uses smp_num_siblings without testing for CONFIG_X86_HT.
      I looked at modifying oprofile, but this way is cleaner & simpler
      and I didn't see a good reason not to just export it when CONFIG_SMP.

      [PATCH] x86: Work around gcc 4.2 over aggressive optimizer · 1bac3b38
      Andi Kleen authored
      The new PDA code uses a dummy _proxy_pda variable to describe
      memory references to the PDA. It is never referenced
      in inline assembly, but exists as input/output arguments.
      gcc 4.2 in some cases can CSE references to this which causes
      unresolved symbols.  Define it to zero to avoid this.

      [PATCH] x86: Fix boot hang due to nmi watchdog init code · 92715e28
      Ravikiran G Thirumalai authored
      2.6.19  stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64
      systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19.  check_nmi_watchdog schedules an
      IPI on all cpus to  busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait
      flag if NMI functionality is disabled.  This causes the secondary cpus
      to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang.
      Depending upon the build, the  busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable)
      and caused  the kernel to bootup on certain builds.  Following patch fixes
      the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog.
      I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could
      potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.
      
      AK: I redid the patch significantly to be cleaner

      Andi Kleen authored
      Fix verify_quirk_intel_irqbalance(). genapic checks should really
      happen only on affected versions of the E7520/E7320/E7525 based platforms.
