a1a70c25be [PATCH] i386: always enable regparm
-mregparm=3 has been enabled by default for some time on i386, and AFAIK
there aren't any problems with it left.

This patch removes the REGPARM config option and sets -mregparm=3
unconditionally.

b0d0a4ba45 [PATCH] x86: fix the irqbalance quirk for E7320/E7520/E7525
Move the irqbalance quirks for E7320/E7520/E7525(Errata 23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf) to early
quirks.

And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late
during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode.

This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which
selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata
workaround).

274e1bbdee [PATCH] x86: add write_pci_config_byte() to direct PCI access routines
Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on
x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working
around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision
ID 0x9 and below.  errata #23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf).

This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be
directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by
BIOS on these platforms).

Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and
forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms.

Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.

This patch:

365bff806e [PATCH] i386: fix MTRR code
Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.

While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
  is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
  might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
  physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
  startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value
  in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get
  used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR)
- the generic range validation code checked that the end of the
  to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been
  the start of the range
- when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only
  when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new
  region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's
  documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also
  compatible with the respective opposite in the other

still improper with CONFIG_X86_PAE (see the respective comment in

with correct perms/range, no change is necessary for that scenario.)

Before the patch, a "cat /proc/self/maps | tail -1" shows this:

8542b200cb [PATCH] paravirt: Add option to allow skipping the timer check
Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option.  The
VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which
probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings.  It fires
100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using
a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs
have not yet been delivered.

In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug
could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter
SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs.

While here, make check_timer be __init.

8ecb895069 [PATCH] paravirt: fix missing pte update
The function ptep_get_and_clear uses an atomic instruction sequence to get and
clear an active pte.  Rather than add such an atomic operator to all virtual
machine implementations in paravirt-ops, it is easier to support the raw
atomic sequence and use either a trapping writable pagetable approach, or a
post-update notification.  For the post update notification, we require the
pte_update function to be called after the access.  Combine the 2-level and
3-level paging operators into one common function which does the post-update
notification, and rename the actual atomic sequences to raw_ptep_xxx
operators.

da181a8b39 [PATCH] paravirt: Add MMU virtualization to paravirt_ops
Add the three bare TLB accessor functions to paravirt-ops.  Most amusingly,
flush_tlb is redefined on SMP, so I can't call the paravirt op flush_tlb.
Instead, I chose to indicate the actual flush type, kernel (global) vs. user
(non-global).  Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page
table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not
global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is
confusingly overloaded.

13623d7930 [PATCH] paravirt: Add APIC accessors to paravirt-ops.
Add APIC accessors to paravirt-ops.  Unfortunately, we need two write
functions, as some older broken hardware requires workarounds for
Pentium APIC errata - this is the purpose of apic_write_atomic.

6020c8f315 [PATCH] paravirt: Allow disable power management under hypervisor
Two legacy power management modes are much easier to just explicitly disable
when running in paravirtualized mode - neither APM nor PnP is still relevant.
The status of ACPI is still debatable, and noacpi is still a common enough
boot parameter that it is not necessary to explicitly disable ACPI.

Allow selected bug checks to be skipped by paravirt kernels.  The two most
important are the F00F workaround (which is either done by the hypervisor,
or not required), and the 'hlt' instruction check, which can break under
some hypervisors.

c9ccf30d77 [PATCH] paravirt: Add startup infrastructure for paravirtualization
1) Each hypervisor writes a probe function to detect whether we are
   running under that hypervisor.  paravirt_probe() registers this
   function.

2) If vmlinux is booted with ring != 0, we call all the probe
   functions (with registers except %esp intact) in link order: the
   winner will not return.

139ec7c416 [PATCH] paravirt: Patch inline replacements for paravirt intercepts
It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops.  These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.

The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).

Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

And:

Don't abuse CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, add CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.

AK:  Fix warnings in x86-64 alternative.c build
