Impact: Bug fix This fixes a long standing bug in the machine check code. On resume the boot CPU wouldn't get its vendor specific state like thermal handling reinitialized. This means the boot cpu wouldn't ever get any thermal events reported again. Call the respective initialization functions on resume v2: Remove ancient init because they don't have a resume device anyways.

For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1]. This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the monitored address was recently written to.

This reverts commit 7503bfba. Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system. The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code, but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the policy lock taken. Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch. work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.

Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state. On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime. Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too. Changes on v2: We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing. This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper function used at this stage.

Impact: reward non-stop TSCs with good TSC-based clocksources, etc. Add support for CPUID_0x80000007_Bit8 on Intel CPUs as well. This bit means that the TSC is invariant with C/P/T states and always runs at constant frequency. With Intel CPUs, we have 3 classes * CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate and does not stop n C-states * CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate, but will stop in deep C-states * CPUs where TSC rate will vary based on P/T-states and TSC will stop in deep C-states. To cover these 3, one feature bit (CONSTANT_TSC) is not enough. So, add a second bit (NONSTOP_TSC). CONSTANT_TSC indicates that the TSC runs at constant frequency irrespective of P/T-states, and NONSTOP_TSC indicates that TSC does not stop in deep C-states. CPUID_0x8000000_Bit8 indicates both these feature bit can be set. We still have CONSTANT_TSC _set_ and NONSTOP_TSC _not_set_ on some older Intel CPUs, based on model checks. We can use TSC on such CPUs for time, as long as those CPUs do not support/enter deep C-states.
