Impact: bug fix + BIOS workaround BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs after fixed MTRRs are configured. Some BIOSes do not clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs). This can lead to obfuscation in Linux when this bit is not cleared on BP but cleared on APs. A consequence of this is that the saved fixed-MTRR state (from BP) differs from the fixed-MTRRs of APs -- because RdDram/WrDram bits are read as zero when SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] is cleared -- and Linux tries to sync fixed-MTRR state from BP to AP. This implies that Linux sets SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and activates those bits. More important is that (some) systems change these bits in SMM when ACPI is enabled. Hence it is racy if Linux modifies RdMem/WrMem bits, too. (1) The patch modifies an old fix from Bernhard Kaindl to get suspend/resume working on some Acer Laptops. Bernhard's patch tried to sync RdMem/WrMem bits of fixed MTRR registers and that helped on those old Laptops. (Don't ask me why -- can't test it myself). But this old problem was not the motivation for the patch. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/3/110) (2) The more important effect is to fix issues on some more current systems. On those systems Linux panics or just freezes, see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541 (and also duplicates of this bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11714) The affected systems boot only using acpi=ht, acpi=off or when the kernel is built with CONFIG_MTRR=n. The acpi options prevent full enablement of ACPI. Obviously when ACPI is enabled the BIOS/SMM modfies RdMem/WrMem bits. When CONFIG_MTRR=y Linux also accesses and modifies those bits when it needs to sync fixed-MTRRs across cores (Bernhard's fix, see (1)). How do you synchronize that? You can't. As a consequence Linux shouldn't touch those bits at all (Rationale are AMD's BKDGs which recommend to clear the bit that makes RdMem/WrMem accessible). This is the purpose of this patch. And (so far) this suffices to fix (1) and (2). I suggest not to touch RdDram/WrDram bits of fixed-MTRRs and SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and to clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] as suggested by AMD K8, and AMD family 10h/11h BKDGs. BIOS is expected to do this anyway. This should avoid that Linux and SMM tread on each other's toes ...

Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

radeonfb and aty128fb have a special hook called by the PowerMac platform code very very early on resume from sleep to bring the screen back. This is useful for debugging wakup problems, but unfortunately, this also became a source of problems of its own. The hook is called extremely early, with interrupts still off, and the code path involved with that code nowadays rely on things like taking mutexes, GFP_KERNEL allocations, etc... In addition, the driver now relies on the PCI core to restore the standard config space before calling resume which doesn't happen with this early code path. I'm keeping the code in but commented out along with a fixup call to pci_restore_state(). The reason is that I still want to make it easy to re-enable temporarily to track wake up problems, and it's possible that I can revive it at some stage if we make sleeping things save to call in early resume using a system state. In the meantime, this should fix several reported regressions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The hvcs and hvsi backends both set tty->low_latency to one, along with more or less scary comments regarding bugs or races that would happen if not doing so. However, they also both call tty_flip_buffer_push() in conexts where it's illegal to do so since some recent tty changes (or at least it may have been illegal always but it nows blows) when low_latency is set (ie, hard interrupt or with spinlock held and irqs disabled). This removes the setting for now to get them back to working condition, we'll have to address the races described in the comments separately if they are still an issue (some of this might have been fixed already).

Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland. Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global 'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter value holder (i810_main.c:2174). If i810fb is compiled-in or if this param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params). The patch simply replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given parameter structure lookup. This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library.
