This is a chipset erratum.

Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and
hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for
this particular erratum.

Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a
write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most
recently written value.

Erratum 15 in
"Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update"
(http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf)

Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first
one fails.

      bootmem, x86: Fix 32bit numa system without RAM on node 0 · aa235fc7
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      When 32bit numa is used, free_all_bootmem() will still only go over with
node id 0.

If node 0 doesn't have RAM installed, the lowest populated node
becomes low RAM.

This one fixes BOOTMEM path by iterating over the bdata_list.

-v3: add more comments, and fix bootmem path too.
-v4: seperate from one big patch

When 32bit NUMA is used, free_all_bootmem() will still only go over with

If node 0 doesn't have RAM installed, We need to go with node1
because early_node_map still use 1 for all ranges, and ram from node1
become low ram.

Use MAX_NUMNODES like 64-bit NUMA does.

Note: BOOTMEM path has the same problem.
      this bug exist before We have NO_BOOTMEM support.

-v3: add more comments, and fix bootmem path too.
-v4: seperate bootmem path fix

      x86: Handle overlapping mptables · 909fc87b
      Andi Kleen authored 
      We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap.

That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI,
but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping
reservations in 2.6.33.

Earlier kernels handled this without problems.

Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid
the panic.

      x86: Make e820_remove_range to handle all covered case · 9f3a5f52
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      Rusty found on lguest with trim_bios_range, max_pfn is not right anymore, and
looks e820_remove_range does not work right.

[    0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[    0.000000]  LGUEST: 0000000000000000 - 0000000004000000 (usable)
[    0.000000] Notice: NX (Execute Disable) protection missing in CPU or disabled in BIOS!
[    0.000000] DMI not present or invalid.
[    0.000000] last_pfn = 0x3fa0 max_arch_pfn = 0x100000
[    0.000000] init_memory_mapping: 0000000000000000-0000000003fa0000

root cause is: the e820_remove_range doesn't handle the all covered
case.  e820_remove_range(BIOS_START, BIOS_END - BIOS_START, ...)
produces a bogus range as a result.

Make it match e820_update_range() by handling that case too.

      x86-32, resume: do a global tlb flush in S4 resume · 8ae06d22
      Shaohua Li authored 
      Colin King reported a strange oops in S4 resume code path (see below). The test
system has i5/i7 CPU. The kernel doesn't open PAE, so 4M page table is used.
The oops always happen a virtual address 0xc03ff000, which is mapped to the
last 4k of first 4M memory. Doing a global tlb flush fixes the issue.

      x86: Do not free zero sized per cpu areas · eed63519
      Ian Campbell authored 
      This avoids an infinite loop in free_early_partial().

Add a warning to free_early_partial() to catch future problems.

-v5: put back start > end back into WARN_ONCE()
-v6: use one line for warning, suggested by Linus
-v7: more tests
-v8: remove the function name as suggested by Johannes
     WARN_ONCE() will print out that function name.

      x86: Make sure free_init_pages() frees pages on page boundary · c967da6a
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or
in a more compact fashion.

Example:

 Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57
 Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56

The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned.
Last page could be shared with other users.

When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page
could be freed and we could corrupt other data.

code segment in free_init_pages():

 |        for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) {
 |                ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
 |                init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr));
 |                memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)),
 |                        POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE);
 |                free_page(addr);
 |                totalram_pages++;
 |        }

last half page could be used as one whole free page.

So page align the boundaries.

-v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to
     Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page.
     we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could
     confuse decompressor.
-v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes.
-v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes.
     We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN
     Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned
     in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it
     to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes.
-v6: remove one WARN()
     We need to align beginning in free_init_pages()
     do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes
