Hopefully the addition of -E to my applypatch script
will mean that I won't have these kinds of leftovers
in the future.

The recent change to add a timeout to strbuf flushing had
a negative performance impact. The udelay()'s are too long,
and they were done in the wrong order wrt. the register read
checks. Fix both, and things are happy again.
There are more possible improvements in this area. In fact,
PCI streaming buffer flushing seems to be part of the bottleneck
in network receive performance on my SunBlade1000 box.

This fixes an uninitialized variable warning in arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c,
and this time gcc is actually right, there is a path that could result
in offset being uninitialized. Zero is a sane default in this instance.

Recently the __copy_tofrom_user routine was modified to avoid doing
prefetches past the end of the source array. However, in doing so we
introduced a bug in that it now returns the wrong value for the number
of bytes not copied when a fault is encountered. This fixes it to
return the correct number.

On ppc32, the platform code can supply a "progress" function that is
used to show progress through the boot. These functions are usually
in an init section and so can't be called after the init pages are
freed. Now that the cpu bringup code can be called after the system
is booted (for hotplug cpu) we can get the situation where the
progress function can be called after boot. The simple fix is to set
the progress function pointer to NULL when the init pages are freed,
and that is what this patch does (note that all callers already check
whether the function pointer is NULL before trying to call it).

This patch removes the assumption that LAPIC entries contain the BSP as its
first entry. This is a slight improvement to the temporary fix submitted by
Suresh Siddha.
- Removes assumption that LAPIC entries contain BSP first.
- Builds x86_acpiid_to_apicid[] and bios_cpu_apicid[] properly with BSP as
first entry.
- Made maxcpus=1 boot on these systems. Since the parsing earlier in
arch/x86_64/kernel/mpparse.c stopped after maxcpus entries, other entries
were not processed, this causes kernel not to boot on these systems.
TBD: x86_acpiid_to_apicid and bios_cpu_apicid[] seem to be exactly the
same. This could be removed, but might need more work to cleanup.

Collected NMI watchdog fixes.
- Fix call of check_nmi_watchdog
- Remove earlier move of check_nmi_watchdog to later. It does not fix the
race it was supposed to fix fully.
- Remove unused P6 definitions
- Add support for performance counter based watchdog on P4 systems.
This allows to run it only once per second, which saves some CPU time.
Previously it would run at 1000Hz, which was too much.
Code ported from i386
Make this the default on Intel systems.
- Use check_nmi_watchdog with local APIC based nmi
- Fix race in touch_nmi_watchdog
- Fix bug that caused incorrect performance counters to be programmed in a
few cases on K8.
- Remove useless check for local APIC
- Use local_t and per_cpu variables for per CPU data.
- Keep other CPUs busy during check_nmi_watchdog to make sure they really
tick when in lapic mode.
- Only check CPUs that are actually online.
- Various other fixes.
- Fix fallback path when MSRs are unimplemented

There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which
don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge. This covers in particular
Nvidia and VIA chipsets. They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are
synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are
nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs.
The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we
could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems. But this doesn't work
there.
Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source. This
patch does that. The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice
because it has some disadvantages.
Ported over from i386. It should be faster than the i386 version because I
dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower
than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be
disabled.

The new TSC sync algorithm recently submitted did not work too well.
The result was that some MP machines where the TSC came up of the BIOS very
unsynchronized and that did not have HPET support were nearly unusable because
the time would jump forwards and backwards between CPUs.
After a lot of research ;-) and some more prototypes I ended up with just
using the one from IA64 which looks best. It has some internal self tuning
that should adapt to changing interconnect latencies. It holds up in my tests
so far.
I believe it was originally written by David Mosberger, I just ported it over
to x86-64. See the inline comment for a description.
This cleans up the code because it uses smp_call_function for syncing instead
of having custom hooks in SMP bootup.
Please note that the cycle numbers it outputs are too optimistic because they
do not take into account the latency of WRMSR and RDTSC, which can be hundreds
of cycles. It seems to be able to sync a dual Opteron to 200-300 cycles,
which is probably good enough.
There is a timing window during AP bootup where interrupts can see
inconsistent time before the TSC is synced. It is hard to avoid unfortunately
because we can only do the TSC sync after some setup, and we need to enable
interrupts before that. I just ignored it for now.

Last round hopefully of cpu_core_id changes hopefully fow now:
- Always initialize cpu_core_id for all CPUs, even when no dual core setup
is detected. This prevents funny /proc/cpuinfo output
- Do the same with phys_proc_id[] even when no HyperThreading - dito.
- Use the CPU APIC-ID from CPUID 1 instead of the linux virtual CPU number
to identify the core for AMD dual core setups.

tt-mode closes switch_pipes in exit_thread_tt and kills processes in
switch_to_tt, if the exit_state is EXIT_DEAD or EXIT_ZOMBIE.
In very rare cases the exiting process can be scheduled out after having set
exit_state and closed switch_pipes (from release_task it calls proc_pid_flush,
which might sleep). If this process is to be restarted, UML failes in
switch_to_tt with:
write of switch_pipe failed, err = 9
We fix this by closing switch_pipes not in exit_thread_tt, but later in
release_thread_tt. Additionally, we set switch_pipe[0] = 0 after closing.
switch_to_tt must not kill "from" process depending on its exit_state, but
must kill it after release_thread was processed only, so it examines
switch_pipe[0] for its decision.

s390 needs to change some parts of arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c. Thus, the code
regarding PEEKUSER and POKEUSER are shifted to arch/um/sys-<subarch>/ptrace.c.
Also s390 debug registers need to be updated, when singlestepping is switched
on / off. Thus, setting/resetting of singlestepping is centralized in the new
function set_singlestep(), which also inserts the macro
SUBARCH_SET_SINGLESTEP(mode), if defined.
Finally, s390 has the "ieee_instruction_pointer" in its
registers, which also is allowed to be read via
ptrace( PTRACE_PEEKUSER, getpid(), PT_IEEE_IP, 0);
To implement this feature, sys_ptrace inserts the macro
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL, if defined.
