67664c8f7e [PATCH] i386: Dont use IPI broadcast when using cpu hotplug.
This patch introduces a startup parameter no_broadcast.  When we enable
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, we dont want to use broadcast shortcut as it has ill
effects on a offline cpu.  If we issue broadcast, the IPI is also delivered
to offline cpus, or partially up cpu causing stale IPI's to be handled,
which is a problem and can cause undesirable effects.

Introduces a new startup cmdline option no_ipi_broadcast, that can be
switched at cmdline if necessary.

f370513640 [PATCH] i386 CPU hotplug
(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel
is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua
<shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing)

The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and
registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree.  In
order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs().  The difference being
that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
queued external interrupts on the APICs.  There are additional changes to s390
and ppc64 to account for this change.

1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

8749af6821 [PATCH] ARM: Generic Dynamic Tick Timer support for ARM, take 4
This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).

Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October.  The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined.  This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
  have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c

 I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
 - Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
   a normal interrupt
 - if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
 - generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
 - added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
   of this feature

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The later ixp2000 models don't need the PCI I/O workaround that we
currently perform.  Add a config option to disable the workaround,
and panic on boot if a kernel without the workaround is booted on a
buggy chip.  As only pre-production ixp2000s need the workaround,
the default is for it not to be configured in.

89cb14c0dd [PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: check jprobe break before handling
Once the jprobe instrumented function returns, it executes a jprobe_break
which is a break instruction with __IA64_JPROBE_BREAK value.  The current
patch checks for this break value, before assuming that jprobe instrumented
function just completed.

The previous code was not checking for this value and that was a bug.

708de8f11c [PATCH] Kprobes IA64: safe register kprobe
The current kprobes does not yet handle register kprobes on some of the
following kind of instruction which needs to be emulated in a special way.

1) mov r1=ip
2) chk -- Speculation check instruction

This patch attempts to fail register_kprobes() when user tries to insert
kprobes on the above kind of instruction.

1674eafcbd [PATCH] Kprobes IA64: cmp ctype unc support
The current Kprobes when patching the original instruction with the break
instruction tries to retain the original qualifying predicate(qp), however
for cmp.crel.ctype where ctype == unc, which is a special instruction
always needs to be executed irrespective of qp.  Hence, if the instruction
we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to
the break instruction, this is because we always want the break fault to
happen so that we can emulate the instruction.

This patch is based on the feedback given by David Mosberger

a5403183d8 [PATCH] Kprobes IA64: arch_prepare_kprobes() cleanup
arch_prepare_kprobes() was doing lots of functionality
in just one single function. This patch
attempts to clean up arch_prepare_kprobes() by moving
specific sub task to the following (new)functions
1)valid_kprobe_addr() -->> validate the given kprobe address
2)get_kprobe_inst(slot..)->> Retrives the instruction for a given slot from the bundle
3)prepare_break_inst() -->> Prepares break instruction within the bundle
	3a)update_kprobe_inst_flag()-->>Updates the internal flags, required
			for proper emulation of the instruction at later
			point in time.
