fbdbf70993 x86, debug: gpio_free might sleep
According to the documentation gpio_free should only be called from task
context only.  To make this more explicit add a might sleep to all
implementations.

This patch changes the gpio_free implementations for the x86
architecture.

a0a29b62a9 x86, microcode rework, v2
this is a rework of the microcode splitup in tip/x86/microcode

(1) I think this new interface is cleaner (look at the changes
    in 'struct microcode_ops' in microcode.h);

(2) it's -64 lines of code;

e38e05a858 x86: extended "flags" to show virtualization HW feature in /proc/cpuinfo
The hardware virtualization technology evolves very fast. But currently
it's hard to tell if your CPU support a certain kind of HW technology
without digging into the source code.

The patch add a new catagory in "flags" under /proc/cpuinfo. Now "flags"
can indicate the (important) HW virtulization features the CPU supported
as well.

Current implementation just cover Intel VMX side.

91030ca1e7 x86: unsigned long pte_pfn
pte_pfn() has always been of type unsigned long, even on 32-bit PAE;
but in the current tip/next/mm tree it works out to be unsigned long
long on 64-bit, which gives an irritating warning if you try to printk
a pfn with the usual %lx.

Now use the same pte_pfn() function, moved from pgtable-3level.h
to pgtable.h, for all models: as suggested by Jeremy Fitzhardinge.
And pte_page() can well move along with it (remaining a macro to
avoid dependence on mm_types.h).

823e7e8c6e x86: dma_alloc_coherent sets gfp flags properly
Non real IOMMU implemenations (which doesn't do virtual mappings,
e.g. swiotlb, pci-nommu, etc) need to use proper gfp flags and
dma_mask to allocate pages in their own dma_alloc_coherent()
(allocated page need to be suitable for device's coherent_dma_mask).

This patch makes dma_alloc_coherent do this job so that IOMMUs don't
need to take care of it any more.

Real IOMMU implemenataions can simply ignore the gfp flags.

BIOS though, since I've killed mine. I tested the DMI version, but not

7414aa41a6 x86: generate names for /proc/cpuinfo from <asm/cpufeature.h>
We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its
predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in
/proc/cpuinfo.  This patch generates the latter from the former.

It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by
making that require a separate action it should at least be less
likely to happen.

It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are
gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace
interface and must remain constant.)

08970fc4e0 x86: msr: fix bogus return values from rdmsr_safe/wrmsr_safe
Impact: bogus error codes (+other?) on x86-64

The rdmsr_safe/wrmsr_safe routines have macros for the handling of the
edx:eax arguments.  Those macros take a variable number of assembly
arguments.  This is rather inherently incompatible with using
%digit-style escapes in the inline assembly; replace those with
%[name]-style escapes.

This fixes miscompilation on x86-64, which at the very least caused
bogus return values.  It is possible that this could also corrupt the
return value; I am not sure.

18b13e5457 KVM: Use .fixup instead of .text.fixup on __kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot
vmlinux.lds expects the fixup code to be on a section named .fixup. The
.text.fixup section is not mentioned on vmlinux.lds, and is included on
the resulting vmlinux (just after .text) only because of ld heuristics on
placing orphan sections.

However, placing .text.fixup outside .text breaks the definition of
_etext, making it exclude the .text.fixup contents. That makes .text.fixup
be ignored by the kernel initialization code that needs to know about
section locations, such as the code setting page protection bits.

8735728ef8 x86 MCE: Fix CPU hotplug problem with multiple multicore AMD CPUs
During CPU hot-remove the sysfs directory created by
threshold_create_bank(), defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c, has to be removed before
its parent directory, created by mce_create_device(), defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_64.c .  Moreover, when the CPU in
question is hotplugged again, obviously the latter has to be created
before the former.  At present, the right ordering is not enforced,
because all of these operations are carried out by CPU hotplug
notifiers which are not appropriately ordered with respect to each
other.  This leads to serious problems on systems with two or more
multicore AMD CPUs, among other things during suspend and hibernation.

Fix the problem by placing threshold bank CPU hotplug callbacks in
mce_cpu_callback(), so that they are invoked at the right places,
if defined.  Additionally, use kobject_del() to remove the sysfs
directory associated with the kobject created by
kobject_create_and_add() in threshold_create_bank(), to prevent the
kernel from crashing during CPU hotplug operations on systems with
two or more multicore AMD CPUs.

This patch fixes bug #11337.

f86399396c x86, paravirt_ops: use unsigned long instead of u32 for alloc_p*() pfn args
This patch changes the pfn args from 'u32' to 'unsigned long'
on alloc_p*() functions on paravirt_ops, and the corresponding
implementations for Xen and VMI. The prototypes for CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n
are already using unsigned long, so paravirt.h now matches the prototypes
on asm-x86/pgalloc.h.

It shouldn't result in any changes on generated code on 32-bit, with
or without CONFIG_PARAVIRT. On both cases, 'codiff -f' didn't show any
change after applying this patch.

On 64-bit, there are (expected) binary changes only when CONFIG_PARAVIRT
is enabled, as the patch is really supposed to change the size of the
pfn args.

e621bd1895 i386: vmalloc size fix
Booting kernel with vmalloc=[any size<=16m] will oops on my pc (i386/1G memory).

BUG_ON in arch/x86/mm/init_32.c triggered:
BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory > VMALLOC_START);

It's due to the vm area hole.

In include/asm-x86/pgtable_32.h:
#define VMALLOC_OFFSET	(8 * 1024 * 1024)
#define VMALLOC_START	(((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) \
			 & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))

There's several related point:
1. MAXMEM :
 (-__PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE).
The space after VMALLOC_END is included as well, I set it to
(VMALLOC_END - PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE)

2. VMALLOC_OFFSET is not considered in __VMALLOC_RESERVE
fixed by adding VMALLOC_OFFSET to it.

3. VMALLOC_START :
 (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))
So it's not always 8M, bigger than 8M possible.
I set it to ((unsigned long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET)

4. the VMALLOC_RESERVE is an unused macro, so remove it here.

The UV TLB shootdown mechanism needs a system interrupt vector.

Its vector had been hardcoded as 200, but needs to moved to the reserved
system vector range so that it does not collide with some device vector.

This is still temporary until dynamic system IRQ allocation is provided.
But it will be needed when real UV hardware becomes available and runs 2.6.27.

8d02c2110b x86: configuration options to compile out x86 CPU support code
This patch adds some configuration options that allow to compile out
CPU vendor-specific code in x86 kernels (in arch/x86/kernel/cpu). The
new configuration options are only visible when CONFIG_EMBEDDED is
selected, as they are mostly interesting for space savings reasons.

An example of size saving, on x86 with only Intel CPU support:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
1125479	 118760	 212992	1457231	 163c4f	vmlinux.old

  -4124   -2224       0   -6348   -18CC +/-

However, I'm not exactly sure that the Kconfig wording is correct with
regard to !64BIT / 64BIT.

c6a92a2501 x86, percpu: silence section mismatch warnings related to EARLY_PER_CPU variables
Quoting Mike Travis in "x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4"
(23ca4bba3e):

    The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
    map and pointer.  It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
    elements to "_initvalue".  The early_* macros provide access to
    the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
    pointer.  This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
    but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup.  After
    that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.

As these variables are NULL'ed before __init sections are dropped
(in setup_per_cpu_maps), they can be safely annotated as __ref.

This change silences following section mismatch warnings:

3c3b5c3b0b x86: correct register constraints for 64-bit atomic operations
x86_64 add/sub atomic ops does not seems to accept integer values bigger
than 32 bits as immediates. Intel's add/sub documentation specifies they
have to be passed as registers.

The only operations in the x86-64 architecture which accept arbitrary
64-bit immediates is "movq" to any register; similarly, the only
operation which accept arbitrary 64-bit displacement is "movabs" to or
from al/ax/eax/rax.

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Machine-Constraints.html

states :

e
    32-bit signed integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to fit
    that range (for immediate operands in sign-extending x86-64
    instructions).
Z
    32-bit unsigned integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to
    fit that range (for immediate operands in zero-extending x86-64
    instructions).

Since add/sub does sign extension, using the "e" constraint seems appropriate.

It applies to 2.6.27-rc, 2.6.26, 2.6.25...

1f49a2c2ae x86: revert replace LOCK_PREFIX in futex.h
Since we now use DS prefixes instead of NOP to remove LOCK prefixes,
there are no longer any issues with instruction boundaries moving around.

Depends on :

x86 alternatives : fix LOCK_PREFIX race with preemptible kernel and CPU hotplug

Ok, so I think this is an _excellent_ patch, but I'd like to also then use
LOCK_PREFIX in include/asm-x86/futex.h.

See commit 9d55b9923a.

Applies to 2.6.27-rc2 (and -rc3 unless hell broke loose in futex.h between rc2
and rc3).

cd98a04a59 x86: add MAP_STACK mmap flag
as per this discussion:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/423

Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the
combined size of ~4GB, slow down drastically in pthread_create() - because
glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is
a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model
64-bit P4 CPUs.

So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain
64-bit apps like this.

glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored
by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for
it can be implemented.
