Impact: cleanup
Refactor the MP-table parsing code via the introduction of the
following helper functions:
skip_entry()
smp_reserve_bootmem()
check_irq_src()
check_slot()
To simplify the code flow and to reduce the size of the
following oversized functions: smp_read_mpc(), smp_scan_config().
There should be no impact to functionality.

Don't boost at the addresses which are listed on exception tables,
because major page fault will occur on those addresses. In that case,
kprobes can not ensure that when instruction buffer can be freed since
some processes will sleep on the buffer.
kprobes-ia64 already has same check.

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of
the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another
way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize
properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.
The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).
However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.
So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.
In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer)
to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC
calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow
the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value.
That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest
way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after
programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the
counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers
Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence
we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths.
x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need
a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory
stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI.
Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

Impact: fix spurious IRQs
During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous
irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt
starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after
modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches.
This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as
multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While
there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup
IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler
can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can
see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple
vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(),
other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local
cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled).
When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that
vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and
do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to
service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector
allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler.
This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors
at the same time.
[ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to
the best of our knowledge it has never been seen. The stable
maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ]

Impact: simplification
In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the
io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt
remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that
remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI.
With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification
(with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin
number). Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from
the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be
edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE.
So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic
cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC.
With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying
the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE.
And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the
local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote
IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE.
This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping.

interrupt-remapping
Impact: make kexec work with x2apic
disable_IO_APIC() gets called during crashdump aswell, which configures the
IO-APIC/LAPIC so that legacy interrupts can be delivered for the kexec'd kernel.
In the presence of interrupt-remapping, we need to change the
interrupt-remapping configuration aswell as modifying IO-APIC for virtual wire
B mode.
To keep things simple during the crash, use virtual wire A mode
(for which we don't need to touch io-apic and interrupt-remapping tables).

Impact: crash fix
head_32.S needs to map the kernel itself, and enough space so
that mm/init.c can allocate space from the e820 allocator
for the linear map of low memory.

Impact: makes vmlinux section information more useful
Don't use ram after _end blindly for pagetables. aka init pages is before _end
put those pg table into .bss
[Adapted to use brk segment - Jeremy]
v2: keep initial page table up to 512M only.
v4: put initial page tables just before _end

Impact: new interface; remove hard-coded limit
Add RESERVE_BRK(name, size) macro to reserve space in the brk
area. This should be a conservative (ie, larger) estimate of
how much space might possibly be required from the brk area.
Any unused space will be freed, so there's no real downside
on making the reservation too large (within limits).
The name should be unique within a given file, and somewhat
descriptive.
The C definition of RESERVE_BRK() ends up being more complex than
one would expect to work around a cluster of gcc infelicities:
The first attempt was to simply try putting __section(.brk_reservation)
on a variable. This doesn't work because it ends up making it a
@progbits section, which gets actual space allocated in the vmlinux
executable.
The second attempt was to emit the space into a section using asm,
but gcc doesn't allow arguments to be passed to file-level asm()
statements, making it hard to pass in the size.
The final attempt is to wrap the asm() in a function to allow
it to have arguments, and put the function itself into the
.discard section, which vmlinux*.lds drops entirely from the
emitted vmlinux.

Impact: use new interface instead of previous ad hoc implementation
Rather than having special purpose init_pg_table_start/end variables
to delimit the kernel pagetable built by head_32.S, just use the brk
mechanism to extend the bss for the new pagetable.
This patch removes init_pg_table_start/end and pg0, defines __brk_base
(which is page-aligned and immediately follows _end), initializes
the brk region to start there, and uses it for the 32-bit pagetable.

Impact: new interface
Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than
using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
get used.
The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
something into it.
The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
(__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
up to __bss_stop.
Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
kernel memory pool.
Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system
has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

Impact: cleanup
Move the symbols delimiting a section part of the section
(section relative) rather than absolute. This avoids any
unexpected gaps between the section-start symbol and the first
data in the section, which could be caused by implicit
alignment of the section data. It also makes the general
form of vmlinux_64.lds.S consistent with vmlinux_32.lds.S.

Impact: bug fix + BIOS workaround
BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs
after fixed MTRRs are configured.
Some BIOSes do not clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs).
This can lead to obfuscation in Linux when this bit is not cleared on
BP but cleared on APs. A consequence of this is that the saved
fixed-MTRR state (from BP) differs from the fixed-MTRRs of APs --
because RdDram/WrDram bits are read as zero when
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] is cleared -- and Linux tries to sync
fixed-MTRR state from BP to AP. This implies that Linux sets
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and activates those bits.
More important is that (some) systems change these bits in SMM when
ACPI is enabled. Hence it is racy if Linux modifies RdMem/WrMem bits,
too.
(1) The patch modifies an old fix from Bernhard Kaindl to get
suspend/resume working on some Acer Laptops. Bernhard's patch
tried to sync RdMem/WrMem bits of fixed MTRR registers and that
helped on those old Laptops. (Don't ask me why -- can't test it
myself). But this old problem was not the motivation for the
patch. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/3/110)
(2) The more important effect is to fix issues on some more current systems.
On those systems Linux panics or just freezes, see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
(and also duplicates of this bug:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11714)
The affected systems boot only using acpi=ht, acpi=off or
when the kernel is built with CONFIG_MTRR=n.
The acpi options prevent full enablement of ACPI. Obviously when
ACPI is enabled the BIOS/SMM modfies RdMem/WrMem bits. When
CONFIG_MTRR=y Linux also accesses and modifies those bits when it
needs to sync fixed-MTRRs across cores (Bernhard's fix, see (1)).
How do you synchronize that? You can't. As a consequence Linux
shouldn't touch those bits at all (Rationale are AMD's BKDGs which
recommend to clear the bit that makes RdMem/WrMem accessible).
This is the purpose of this patch. And (so far) this suffices to
fix (1) and (2).
I suggest not to touch RdDram/WrDram bits of fixed-MTRRs and
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and to clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] as
suggested by AMD K8, and AMD family 10h/11h BKDGs.
BIOS is expected to do this anyway. This should avoid that
Linux and SMM tread on each other's toes ...

Referring commit cc3ca22063784076bd240fda87217387a8f2ae92,
Peter removed __cpuinit annotations for mce_cpu_features()
and its successor functions, which caused troubles on UP
configurations.
However the intel_init_cmci() was introduced after that and
it also has __cpuinit annotation even though it is called from
mce_cpu_features(). Remove the annotation from that function
too.

there should be no difference, except:
* the 64bit variant now also initializes the padlock unit.
* ->c_early_init() is executed again from ->c_init()
* the 64bit fixups made into 32bit path.

Commit c2724775ce57c98b8af9694857b941dc61056516 put a statement
after return, which makes that statement unreachable.
Move that statement before return.

Impact: fix left range size on head
| commit 5c0e6f035df983210e4d22213aed624ced502d3d
| x86: fix code paths used by update_mptable
| Impact: fix crashes under Xen due to unrobust e820 code
fixes one e820 bug, but introduces another bug.
Need to update size for left range at first in case it is header.
also add __e820_add_region take more parameter.

Impact: fix crashes under Xen due to unrobust e820 code
find_e820_area_size() must return a properly distinguishable and
out-of-bounds value when it fails, and -1UL does not meet that
criteria on i386/PAE. Additionally, callers of the function must
check against that value.
early_reserve_e820() should be prepared for the region found to be
outside of the addressable range on 32-bits.
e820_update_range_map() should not blindly update e820, but should do
all it work on the map it got a pointer passed for (which in 50% of the
cases is &e820_saved). It must also not call e820_add_region(), as that
again acts on e820 unconditionally.
The issues were found when trying to make this option work in our Xen
kernel (i.e. where some of the silent assumptions made in the code
would not hold).
