For some reason old binutils genertate larger headers so increase the text
offset of the vdso to avoid linker errors.

Roland McGrath explains:
  "There are extra symbols in the '.dynsym' section that are responsible
   for the size difference (They also cause corresponding inflation in
   '.gnu.version')

   Older ld's wrongly generated these unneeded symbols in .dynsym.  This
   was fixed not all that long ago (2006); binutils-2.17.50.0.6 might be
   the first fixed version, but I have not verified for sure where the
   cutoff was.

   The unneeded symbols et al from old ld add almost 700 bytes excess.
   This limits fairly tightly the amount by which the actual text and
   data in the vDSO can grow in the future without pushing the whole
   file over 4kb.  If it does grow later on, we should consider changing

Nick Piggin [Sat, 29 Sep 2007 13:28:48 +0000 (15:28 +0200)] 
i386: remove bogus comment about memory barrier

The comment being removed by this patch is incorrect and misleading.

In the following situation:

1. load  ...
2. store 1 -> X
3. wmb
4. rmb
5. load  a <- Y
6. store ...

4 will only ensure ordering of 1 with 5.
3 will only ensure ordering of 2 with 6.

Further, a CPU with strictly in-order stores will still only provide that
2 and 6 are ordered (effectively, it is the same as a weakly ordered CPU
with wmb after every store).

In all cases, 5 may still be executed before 2 is visible to other CPUs!

The additional piece of the puzzle that mb() provides is the store/load
ordering, which fundamentally cannot be achieved with any combination of
rmb()s and wmb()s.

This can be an unexpected result if one expected any sort of global ordering
guarantee to barriers (eg. that the barriers themselves are sequentially
consistent with other types of barriers).  However sfence or lfence barriers
need only provide an ordering partial ordering of memory operations -- Consider
that wmb may be implemented as nothing more than inserting a special barrier
entry in the store queue, or, in the case of x86, it can be a noop as the store
queue is in order. And an rmb may be implemented as a directive to prevent
subsequent loads only so long as their are no previous outstanding loads (while
there could be stores still in store queues).

I can actually see the occasional load/store being reordered around lfence on
my core2. That doesn't prove my above assertions, but it does show the comment
is wrong (unless my program is -- can send it out by request).

So:
   mb() and smp_mb() always have and always will require a full mfence
   or lock prefixed instruction on x86.  And we should remove this comment.

It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the

The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a

special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length

Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on

Revert "x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E"

This reverts commit e66485d747505e9d960b864fc6c37f8b2afafaf0, since
Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in
mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken
on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom
of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not
work).

It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since
x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet.

Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as
per Thomas:

  "I just looked into the code and the logic vs.  noapictimer on SMP is
   completely broken.

   On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC
   timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP
   systems.

   The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is
   active, i.e.  "noapictimer" is not on the command line.  This defeats
   the whole purpose of "noapictimer".  It should be there to make boxen
   work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem,
   e.g.  the nx6325.

   The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states
   related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else.

   On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E
   enabled we run into the following:

   PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer
   interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect.

   I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong
   nevertheless.

   I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the
   clock events conversion."

On further reflection, Thomas noted:

   "It's even worse than I thought on the first check:

    "noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the
    boot CPU apic timer from being used.  But the secondary CPU is still
    unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non
    calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to
    setup the APIC timer.  Wreckage guaranteed."

so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up
for x86-64.

 [PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E

solves a problem with AMD dual core laptops e.g. HP nx6325 (Turion 64
X2) with C1E enabled:

When both cores go into idle at the same time, then the system switches
into C1E state, which is basically the same as C3. This stops the local
apic timer.

This was debugged right after the dyntick merge on i386 and despite the
patch title it fixes only the 32 bit path.

x86_64 is still missing this fix. It seems that mainline is not really
affected by this issue, as the PIT is running and keeps jiffies
incrementing, but that's just waiting for trouble.

-mm suffers from this problem due to the x86_64 high resolution timer
patches.

This is a quick and dirty port of the i386 code to x86_64.

I spent quite a time with Rafael to debug the -mm / hrt wreckage until
someone pointed us to this. I really had forgotten that we debugged this
half a year ago already.

Sigh, is it just me or is there something yelling arch/x86 into my ear?

[POWERPC] spufs: fix mismerge, making context signal{1,2} files readable again

The commit 8b6f50ef1d5cc86b278eb42bc91630fad455fb10 seems to have
been affected by a mismerge of a duplicate patch
(d054b36ffd302ec65aabec16a0c60ddd9e6b5a62) - both the
spufs_dir_contents and spufs_dir_nosched_contents have been given
write-only signal notification files.

This change reverts the spufs_dir_contents array to use the
readable signal notification file implementation.
