      Revert "ipmi: add new IPMI nmi watchdog handling" · faa8b6c3
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      This reverts commit f64da958.
      
      Andi Kleen is unhappy with the changes, and they really do not seem
      worth it.  IPMI could use DIE_NMI_IPI instead of the new callback, even
      though that ends up having its own set of problems too, mainly because
      the IPMI code cannot really know the NMI was from IPMI or not.
      
      Manually fix up conflicts in arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c and
      drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c.

      move die notifier handling to common code · 1eeb66a1
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
      various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
      code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
      the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
      sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
      
      arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
      arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
      declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
      this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

      ipmi: add new IPMI nmi watchdog handling · f64da958
      Corey Minyard authored
      
      Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an
      NMI.  This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs
      and if it has an NMI post processing call.  Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog
      to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in.
      
      It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

      Remove stack unwinder for now · d1526e2c
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      It has caused more problems than it ever really solved, and is
      apparently not getting cleaned up and fixed.  We can put it back when
      it's stable and isn't likely to make warning or bug events worse.
      
      In the meantime, enable frame pointers for more readable stack traces.

      [PATCH] Generic BUG for i386 · 91768d6c
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      
      This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery.  There are no functional
      changes from the old i386 implementation.
      
      The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the
      inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function)
      information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream.  This reduces
      cache pollution, and makes disassembly work properly.

      x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chain · 808dbbb6
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not
      only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves
      back down the stack frame.  It must always grow up (toward older stack
      frames).
      
      I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely
      unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
      pointer chain.
      
      This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of
      the other stack unwinding code.

      [PATCH] namespaces: utsname: use init_utsname when appropriate · 96b644bd
      Serge E. Hallyn authored
      
      In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the
      appropriate one to use.  This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname
      helper.
      
      Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname().  Hope I picked all the
      	right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c.  These are now changed to
      	utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous
      	patch (2/7)
