f25f64ed5b x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions.
Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line
like this fails (and does nothing):

	setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88);

With inlined functions this line will work as expected.

Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the
"suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this
wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but
this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction.
Kernel output something like this:
	Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns)

This is the 3rd version of this patch.

 - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c
	Thanks to Andres Salomon

19d36ccdc3 x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text
Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write
protected by DEBUG_RODATA

Add a general utility function to change write protected text.  The new
function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU
synchronization.  It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.

There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
comment.

This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.

Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu
Desnoyers.

abd4f7505b x86: i386-show-unhandled-signals-v3
This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a
segfault happens.  A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools
that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between
debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 >
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace)

Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to
deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the
following:

main()
{
       while (1)
               if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0;
}

This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of
new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this.
Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old
'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.

AK: Enabling by default for i386 will be likely controversal, but let's see what happens
AK: Really folks, before complaining just fix your segfaults
AK: I bet this will find a lot of silent issues

4259fa01a2 [PATCH] get rid of AVC_PATH postponed treatment
Selinux folks had been complaining about the lack of AVC_PATH
records when audit is disabled.  I must admit my stupidity - I assumed
that avc_audit() really couldn't use audit_log_d_path() because of
deadlocks (== could be called with dcache_lock or vfsmount_lock held).
Shouldn't have made that assumption - it never gets called that way.
It _is_ called under spinlocks, but not those.

        Since audit_log_d_path() uses ab->gfp_mask for allocations,
kmalloc() in there is not a problem.  IOW, the simple fix is sufficient:
let's rip AUDIT_AVC_PATH out and simply generate pathname as part of main
record.  It's trivial to do.

c926e4f432 [PATCH] audit: fix broken class-based syscall audit
The sanity check in audit_match_class() is wrong.  We are able to audit
2048 syscalls but in audit_match_class() we were accidentally using
sizeof(_u32) instead of number of bits in _u32 when deciding how many
syscalls were valid.  On ia64 in particular we were hitting syscall
numbers over the (wrong) limit of 256.  Fixing the audit_match_class
check takes care of the problem.

7fd7218610 [POWERPC] MPIC protected sources
Some HW platforms, such as the new cell blades, requires some MPIC sources
to be left alone by the operating system. This implements support for
a "protected-sources" property in the mpic controller node containing a list
of source numbers to be protected against operating system interference.

For those interested in the gory details, the MPIC on the southbridge of
those blades has some of the processor outputs routed to the cell, and
at least one routed as a GPIO to the service processor. It will be used
in the GA product for routing some of the southbridge error interrupts
to the service processor which implements some of the RAS stuff, such
as checkstopping when fatal errors occurs before they can propagate.

08ae6cc15d [POWERPC] Allow exec faults on readable areas on classic 32-bit PowerPC
Classic 32-bit PowerPC CPUs, and the early 64-bit PowerPC CPUs, don't
provide a way to prevent execution from readable pages, that is, the
MMU doesn't distinguish between data reads and instruction reads,
although a different exception is taken for faults in data accesses
and instruction accesses.

Commit 9ba4ace39f, in the course of
fixing another bug, added a check that meant that a page fault due
to an instruction access would fail if the vma did not have the
VM_EXEC flag set.  This gives an inconsistent enforcement on these
CPUs of the no-execute status of the vma (since reading from the page
is sufficient to allow subsequent execution from it), and causes old
versions of ppc32 glibc (2.2 and earlier) to fail, since they rely
on executing the word before the GOT but don't have it marked
executable.

This fixes the problem by allowing execution from readable (or writable)
areas on CPUs which do not provide separate control over data and
instruction reads.

ca8ffc974d [POWERPC] Fix future firmware feature fixups function failure
Move firmware feature initialisation from pSeries_init_early to the
earlier pSeries_probe_hypertas so they are initialised before firmware
feature fixups are applied.

Currently firmware feature sections are only used for iSeries which
initialises the these features much earlier.  This is a bug in waiting
on pSeries.

Also adds some whitespace fixups.

4d404edce3 [POWERPC] fix showing xmon help
In some configuration, xmon help string is larger than xmon_printf
buffer.  We need not to use printf.  This patch adds xmon_puts and
change to use it to show help string.

776568d4c9 [POWERPC] Make xmon_write accept a const buffer
Because xmon_write doesn't change the buffer, we should add 'const'
qualifier to the argument which points it.
