matthieu castet 8969691343 x86: Fix jump label with RO/NX module protection crash
If we use jump table in module init, there are marked
as removed in __jump_table section after init is done.

But we already applied ro permissions on the module, so
we can't modify a read only section (crash in
remove_jump_label_module_init).

Make the __jump_table section rw.

Borislav Petkov 93789b32db x86, hotplug: Fix powersavings with offlined cores on AMD
ea53069231 made a CPU use monitor/mwait
when offline. This is not the optimal choice for AMD wrt to powersavings
and we'd prefer our cores to halt (i.e. enter C1) instead. For this, the
same selection whether to use monitor/mwait has to be used as when we
select the idle routine for the machine.

With this patch, offlining cores 1-5 on a X6 machine allows core0 to
boost again.

[ hpa: putting this in urgent since it is a (power) regression fix ]

In therm_throt.c, commit
9e76a97efd patch doesn't export
the symbol platform_thermal_notify.

Other drivers (e.g. drivers/hwmon/coretemp.c) can not find the

interrupt handler.

Please apply this patch to allow threshold interrupt handler in

Jan Beulich 9032160275 x86: Unify "numa=" command line option handling
In order to be able to suppress the use of SRAT tables that
32-bit Linux can't deal with (in one case known to lead to a
non-bootable system, unless disabling ACPI altogether), move the
"numa=" option handling to common code.

Ingo Molnar 6b35eb9ddc Revert "x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils"
This reverts commit 86b1e8dd83 ("x86: Make relocatable kernel work with
new binutils").

Markus Trippelsdorf reported a boot failure caused by this patch.

The real solution to the original patch will likely involve an
arch-generic solution to define an overlaid jiffies_64 and jiffies
variables.

Until that's done and tested on all architectures revert this commit to
solve the regression.

Oleg Nesterov 66832eb4ba perf: Validate cpu early in perf_event_alloc()
Starting from perf_event_alloc()->perf_init_event(), the kernel
assumes that event->cpu is either -1 or the valid CPU number.

Change perf_event_alloc() to validate this argument early. This
also means we can remove the similar check in
find_get_context().

Afaics, the bug was introduced by 38a81da2 "perf events: Clean

not exactly right, -ESRCH from find_task_by_vpid() is not

Aurelien Jarno 79aa18d557 MIPS: Malta: enable Cirrus FB console
While most users of a physical Malta board are using the serial port
as the console, a lot of QEMU users would prefer to interact with a
graphical console. Enable the Cirrus FB support in the Malta default
configuration to make that possible. Note that the default console will
still be the serial port, users have to pass "console=tty0" to the
kernel to use the Cirrus FB.

David Daney 1befdd5536 MIPS: Implement __read_mostly
Just do what everyone else is doing by placing __read_mostly things in
the .data.read_mostly section.

mips_io_port_base can not be read-only (const) and writable
(__read_mostly) at the same time.  One of them has to go, so I chose
to eliminate the __read_mostly.  It will still get stuck in a portion
of memory that is not adjacent to things that are written, and thus
not be on a dirty cache line, for whatever that is worth.
