- add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
- modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

[PATCH] x86: Add portable getcpu call

For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.

x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.

I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.

The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time.  The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow

The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable

I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.

[PATCH] i386: Enable NMI watchdog by default

I've had good experiences with having this on by default on x86-64.
It turns nasty hangs into easier to debug oopses.

Enable the local APIC wdog by default for systems newer than 2004.

This comes from a strange compromise: according to arjan the reason
it was off by default was some old IBM systems that corrupted
registered when NMI happened in SMI. Can't remember more specific,
but >= 2004 should avoid these. It's probably overly broad
because most older systems should be ok (and the really old systems
won't be supported by the local apic watchdog anyways)

To quote Alan Cox:

The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.

A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
that directory.

This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

[PATCH] load_module: no BUG if module_subsys uninitialized

Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in
mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet.

In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to
create a UNIX socket.  Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init
initcall.

Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch)
moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not
early enough in the boot process in some cases.  In particular,
topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the
UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module.  Moving
param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race,
but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module
to load earlier still.

The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the
kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

goes no further if it is zero.  This is not the right thing to do at
