Lost a few hours debugging an early-bootup fault within printk itself,
which manifested itself as a hard to debug early hang.
This patch makes it much easier by printing out early faults via
early_printk(), which function is a lot simpler than a full printk, and
hence more likely to succeed in emergencies. (We do not recover from early
faults anyway, so there's no loss from not having these messages in the
normal printk buffer.)

With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's
`timeout' argument on return.
We were writing back a timeout larger than the original. We _deliberately_
round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks
us to.
The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of
timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and
select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which
was passed in.
The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new
timeout value to the old one and was returning that. It should just return
the new timeout value.
(We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in
time.h. But this code open-codes it all).

[description from AK]
The IBM Summit 3 chipset doesn't implement the HPET timer replacement
option. Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with
both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping. That
was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still
using the last interrupt offset in HPET. This resulted in x460 not
booting. Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter.
Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode
or no HPET at all.
TBD needs a similar 32bit fix.

The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.
This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.
This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch
maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).
The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

In an effort to kill libata-specific assert() and use generic

exception for the followings.
* In libata-core.c:ata_fill_sg(),
assert(qc->n_elem > 0) is converted to WARN_ON(qc->n_elem == 0) because
qc->n_elem is unsigned and unsigned <= 0 is weird.
* In libata-scsi.c:ata_gen_ata_desc/fixed_sense(),
assert(NULL != qc->ap->ops->tf_read) is converted to
WARN_ON(qc->ap->ops->tf_read == NULL), as there are no other users of

Even after the last fix, it's still possible for a send-only join to
start before the join for the broadcast group has finished. This
could cause us to create a multicast group using attributes from the
broadcast group that haven't been initialized yet, so we would use
garbage for the Q_Key, etc. Fix this by waiting until the broadcast

sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This
can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().)
This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last
segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt()
(vma->vm_end - addr) < size
addr == return address of shmat()
size == shmsize, argments to shmget()
size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end,
which is aligned.

Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that
a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather
than over possible ones. That can be quite expensive.
b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs. So with
CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.
I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case. Should be OK..
I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL. Suggest that it stop doing
that.

It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with
initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd
region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The
Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write
the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself
and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is
located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused
panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see
the similar issue even on other archs.
One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But,
the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch
fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel
memory in case overlaps.

I don't think the code is quite ready, which is why I asked for Peter's
additions to also be merged before I acked it (although it turned out that
it still isn't quite ready with his additions either).
Basically I have had similar observations to Suresh in that it does not
play nicely with the rest of the balancing infrastructure (and raised
similar concerns in my review).
The samples (group of 4) I got for "maximum recorded imbalance" on a 2x2
SMP+HT Xeon are as follows:
| Following boot | hackbench 20 | hackbench 40
-----------+----------------+---------------------+---------------------
2.6.16-rc2 | 30,37,100,112 | 5600,5530,6020,6090 | 6390,7090,8760,8470
+nosmpnice | 3, 2, 4, 2 | 28, 150, 294, 132 | 348, 348, 294, 347
Hackbench raw performance is down around 15% with smpnice (but that in
itself isn't a huge deal because it is just a benchmark). However, the
samples show that the imbalance passed into move_tasks is increased by
about a factor of 10-30. I think this would also go some way to explaining
latency blips turning up in the balancing code (though I haven't actually
measured that).
We'll probably have to revert this in the SUSE kernel.
