I've been chasing Jeff about this for months. Jeff added the Marvell
device identifiers to the ahci driver without making the AHCI driver
handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users can't use current
kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.
This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
for the 6145!!!
This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
to Jeff about this are ignored also.
To quote Jeff in email
> "Just switch the order of 'ahci' and 'pata_marvell' in
> /etc/modprobe.conf, then use Fedora's tools regenerate the initrd.

(Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
breaks at install time is in fact impossible)
To quote Jeff in August 2007
> " mv-ahci-pata
> Marvell 6121/6141 PATA support. Needs fixing in the 'PATA controller
> command' area before it is usable, and can go upstream."
Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.
The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.

2. nf_conntrack_irc helper use simple_strtoul() for DCC request parsing.
Data first copied into 64KB buffer, so theoretically nothing prevents

This is not actually a problem currently since we're guaranteed to have

to make this more robust, make sure the string is actually terminated.

Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug
offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for
a CPU.
Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is
set online for the first time.

What I realized recently is that calling rebuild_sched_domains() in
arch_reinit_sched_domains() by itself is not enough when cpusets are enabled.
partition_sched_domains() code is trying to avoid unnecessary domain rebuilds
and will not actually rebuild anything if new domain masks match the old ones.
What this means is that doing
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
on a system with cpusets enabled will not take affect untill something changes
in the cpuset setup (ie new sets created or deleted).
This patch fixes restore correct behaviour where domains must be rebuilt in
order to enable MC powersaving flags.

Krzysztof Helt found MTRR is not detected on k6-2
root cause:
we moved mtrr_bp_init() early for mtrr trimming,
and in early_detect we only read the CPU capability from cpuid,
so some cpu doesn't have that bit in cpuid.
So we need to add early_init_xxxx to preset those bit before mtrr_bp_init
for those earlier cpus.

On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a
hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the
ACPI PMTMR fails. On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value
at least three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while
(i.e. within a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus
result. During normal operation we work around this issue, but during
initialization reading a bogus value may lead to -EINVAL even though the
hardware is usable.

We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC
synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as
possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to
be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec
equals 5e8 (500000000).
If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose
instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the
next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated
offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the
timer.
Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode,
where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of
now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC
rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2.
As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the
time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 +
TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the
same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an
integer multiple of TICK_NSEC.
This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the
nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be
equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in
timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

This patch provides an ARM implementation of ioremap_wc().
We use different page table attributes depending on which CPU we
are running on:
- Non-XScale ARMv5 and earlier systems: The ARMv5 ARM documents four
possible mapping types (CB=00/01/10/11). We can't use any of the
cached memory types (CB=10/11), since that breaks coherency with
peripheral devices. Both CB=00 and CB=01 are suitable for _wc, and
CB=01 (Uncached/Buffered) allows the hardware more freedom than
CB=00, so we'll use that.
(The ARMv5 ARM seems to suggest that CB=01 is allowed to delay stores
but isn't allowed to merge them, but there is no other mapping type
we can use that allows the hardware to delay and merge stores, so
we'll go with CB=01.)
- XScale v1/v2 (ARMv5): same as the ARMv5 case above, with the slight
difference that on these platforms, CB=01 actually _does_ allow
merging stores. (If you want noncoalescing bufferable behavior
on Xscale v1/v2, you need to use XCB=101.)
- Xscale v3 (ARMv5) and ARMv6+: on these systems, we use TEXCB=00100
mappings (Inner/Outer Uncacheable in xsc3 parlance, Uncached Normal
in ARMv6 parlance).
The ARMv6 ARM explicitly says that any accesses to Normal memory can
be merged, which makes Normal memory more suitable for _wc mappings
than Device or Strongly Ordered memory, as the latter two mapping
types are guaranteed to maintain transaction number, size and order.
We use the Uncached variety of Normal mappings for the same reason
that we can't use C=1 mappings on ARMv5.
The xsc3 Architecture Specification documents TEXCB=00100 as being
Uncacheable and allowing coalescing of writes, which is also just
what we need.

We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because:
1) some HPETs are 32bit only
2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide
The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did
not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and
64 bit.
This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents
code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit
unawareness.
unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit.

The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal,
and doesn't include all possible CPUID words. In particular, it
doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta),
3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered). Zero them out, so we
can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this
allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and
therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.
