[PATCH] X86_64 monotonic_clock goes backwards

I've noticed some erratic behavior while testing the X86_64 version
of monotonic_clock().

While spinning in a loop reading monotonic clock values (pinned to a
single cpu) I noticed that the difference between subsequent values
occasionally went negative (time going backwards).

I found that in the following code:
                this_offset = get_cycles_sync();
                /* FIXME: 1000 or 1000000? */
-->             offset = (this_offset - last_offset)*1000 / cpu_khz;
        }
        return base + offset;

the offset sometimes turns out to be 0, even though
this_offset > last_offset.

+Added fix From: Toyo Abe <toyoa@mvista.com>

The x86_64-mm-monotonic-clock.patch in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 made a change to
the updating of monotonic_base. It now uses cycles_2_ns().

I suggest that a set_cyc2ns_scale() should be done prior to the setup_irq().
Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0
is enabled.

[PATCH] x86: error_code is not safe for kprobes

This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section,
since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry,
that must be marked unsafe as well.
This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous"
for kprobes section.

AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert
AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in.

+From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>

KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to
do a .previous at the end of the function.

Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for
example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code
into .fixup.  Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with
the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup).  It's
surprising this didn't cause more havok.

The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests
properly.  A further cleanup would be to get rid of all
.section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile.

+From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>

Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to
entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well.
The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry
point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same
section.

[PATCH] i386: Replace i386 open-coded cmdline parsing with

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390).  The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.

This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:

1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/

2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning.  When someone
   actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
   early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]

3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h

4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).

5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
   except one where it has subtle humor value.

18 years ago[PATCH] x86: AUX_DEVICE_INFO is one byte long, use 'movb'

[PATCH] x86: AUX_DEVICE_INFO is one byte long, use 'movb'

Bugzilla #6552 says:

"In arch/i386/boot/setup.S, movw is used instead of movb for PS/2 mouse
information, although it is unsigned char. This does not harm, because
the jmp instruction overwritten by movw is used before executing movw,
and never be used again"

I've no idea if this is a real bug or how it gets fixed, so I'm submitting
it for review instead of letting it die of boredom in bugzilla. Aditionally
to i386, I've changed x86-64, which mirrors the same code.

Credits to Yoshinori K. Okuji, who found the problem and suggested a fix.
