When the SMP kernel decides to crash_kexec() the local APICs may have
pending interrupts in their vector tables.

The setup routine for the local APIC has a deficient mechanism for
clearing these interrupts, it only handles interrupts that has already
been dispatched to the local core for servicing (the ISR register) safely,
it doesn't consider lower prioritized queued interrupts stored in the IRR
register.

If you have more than one pending interrupt within the same 32 bit word in
the LAPIC vector table registers you may find yourself entering the IO
APIC setup with pending interrupts left in the LAPIC.  This is a situation
for wich the IO APIC setup is not prepared.  Depending of what/which
interrupt vector/vectors are stuck in the APIC tables your system may show
various degrees of malfunctioning.  That was the reason why the
check_timer() failed in our system, the timer interrupts was blocked by
pending interrupts from the old kernel when routed trough the IO APIC.

Additional comment from Jiri Bohac:
==============
If this should go into stable release,
I'd add some kind of limit on the number of iterations, just to be safe from
hard to debug lock-ups:

+if (loops++  > MAX_LOOPS) {
+        printk("LAPIC pending clean-up")
+        break;
+}
 while (queued);

with MAX_LOOPS something like 1E9 this would leave plenty of time for the
pending IRQs to be cleared and would and still cause at most a second of delay
if the loop were to lock-up for whatever reason.

[trenn@suse.de:

V2: Use tsc if avail to bail out after 1 sec due to possible virtual
    apic_read calls which may take rather long (suggested by: Avi Kivity
    <avi@redhat.com>) If no tsc is available bail out quickly after
    cpu_khz, if we broke out too early and still have irqs pending (which
    should never happen?) we still get a WARN_ON...

V3: - Fixed indentation -> checkpatch clean
    - max_loops must be signed

V4: - Fix typo, mixed up tsc and ntsc in first rdtscll() call

V5: Adjust WARN_ON() condition to also catch error in cpu_has_tsc case]

This reverts commit 03ceedea, since it
breaks resume from suspend-to-ram on Rafael's Acer Ferrari One.
NetworkManager thinks everything is ok, but it can't connect to the AP
to get an IP address after the resume.

In fact, it even breaks resume for non-ath9k chipsets: reverting it also
fixes Rafael's Toshiba Protege R500 with the iwlagn driver.  As Johannes
says:

  "Indeed, this patch needs to be reverted. That mac80211 change is wrong
   and completely unnecessary."

commit 64ce4c2f (time: Clean up warp_clock()) breaks the timezone
update in a very subtle way. To avoid the direct access to timekeeping
internals it adds the timezone delta to the current time with
timespec_add_safe(). This works nicely when the timezone delta is > 0.
If timezone delta is < 0 then the wrap check in timespec_add_safe()
triggers and timespec_add_safe() returns TIME_MAX and screws up
timekeeping completely. 

The comment above timespec_add_safe() says:
    It's assumed that both values are valid (>= 0)

Add the timezone seconds adjustment directly.

Add a little strncpy optimization which can easily cut boot time by 20%.

When the kernel is booting with initramfs, it builds up the filesystem
from a cpio archive by calling strncpy_from_user() via fs/namei.c's
do_getname() on every file in the archive (which can be lots) with a
length of PATH_MAX (1024).  This causes the dest of the strncpy to be
padded with many NUL bytes.

This optimization mostly causes these NUL bytes to be padded with a call
to memset() which is already optimized for filling memory quickly, but
the hardware loop helps a little bit as well.

Boot time measured with 'loglevel=0' so UART speed doesn't get in the way.

Since 'extern inline' doesn't work correctly in the context of the Linux
kernel (too many overriding defines), move the string functions to normal
lib/ assembly files (like the existing mem funcs).  This avoids the forced
inline all over the kernel and allows us to place them constantly in L1.

This also avoids some module failures when gcc inserts calls to string
functions but the kernel build system doesn't fully consult the library
archives.
