Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which
default to -march=i686.  This breaks building kernels for pre-i686
machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the
generation of CMOV instructions.

There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these
instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the
decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.

set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.

Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.

But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.

So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.

This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.

xsave_cntxt_init() does something like:

	cpuid(0xd, ..);	// find out what features FP/SSE/.. etc are supported

	xsetbv();	// enable the features known to OS

	cpuid(0xd, ..);	// find out the size of the context for features enabled

Depending on what features get enabled in xsetbv(), value of the
cpuid.eax=0xd.ecx=0.ebx changes correspondingly (representing the
size of the context that is enabled).

As we don't have volatile keyword for native_cpuid(), gcc 4.1.2
optimizes away the second cpuid and the kernel continues to use
the cpuid information obtained before xsetbv(), ultimately leading to kernel
crash on processors supporting more state than the legacy FP/SSE.

Add "volatile" for native_cpuid().

The trivial malloc implementation used in the pre-boot environment by the
decompressors returns a bad pointer on failure (falling through after
calling error).  This is doubly wrong - the callers expect malloc to
return NULL on failure, second the error function is intended to be

The instruction attribute table generator fails when run by mawk

	arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt > /dev/null
 Semantic error at 240: Second IMM error
 $ echo $?
 1

Line 240 contains "c8: ENTER Iw,Ib", which indicates that this
instruction has two immediate operands, the second of which is
one byte.  The script loops through the immediate operands using
a for loop.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee in awk that a for (variable
in array) loop will return the indices in increasing order.
Internally, both original-awk and mawk iterate over a hash table
for this purpose, and both implementations happen to produce the
index 2 before 1.  The supposed second immediate operand is more
than one byte wide, producing the error.

So loop over the indices in increasing order instead.  As a
side-effect, with mawk this means the silly two-entry hash table
never has to be built.

The commit f4780ca0 moves
swiotlb initialization before dma32_free_bootmem(). It's
supposed to fix a bug that the commit
75f1cdf1 introduced, we
initialize SWIOTLB right after dma32_free_bootmem so we wrongly
steal memory area allocated for GART with broken BIOS earlier.

However, the above commit introduced another problem, which
likely breaks machines with huge amount of memory. Such a box
use the majority of DMA32_ZONE so there is no memory for
swiotlb.

With this patch, the x86 IOMMU initialization sequence are:

1. We set swiotlb to 1 in the case of (max_pfn > MAX_DMA32_PFN
   && !no_iommu). If swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option,
   we go to the step 3 and finish (we don't try to detect IOMMUs).

2. We call the detection functions of all the IOMMUs. The
   detection function sets x86_init.iommu.iommu_init to the IOMMU
   initialization function (so we can avoid calling the
   initialization functions of all the IOMMUs needlessly).

3. We initialize swiotlb (and set dma_ops to swiotlb_dma_ops) if
   swiotlb is set to 1.

4. If the IOMMU initialization function doesn't need swiotlb
   (e.g. the initialization is sucessful) then sets swiotlb to zero.

5. If we find that swiotlb is set to zero, we free swiotlb
   resource.

This adds a new category of symbols to the relocs program: symbols
which are known to be relative, even though the linker emits them as
absolute; this is the case for symbols that live in the linker script,
which currently applies to _end.

Unfortunately the previous workaround of putting _end in its own empty
section was defeated by newer binutils, which remove empty sections
completely.

This patch also changes the symbol matching to use regular expressions
instead of hardcoded C for specific patterns.

This is a decidedly non-minimal patch: a modified version of the
relocs program is used as part of the Syslinux build, and this 	is
basically a backport to Linux of some of those changes; they have

that the copying is safe.

Without this, we get a build error for i386 allyesconfig:

/home/hpa/kernel/linux-2.6-tip.urgent/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:213:
error: call to ‘copy_from_user_overflow’ declared with attribute
error: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct

Unlike an earlier patch from Arjan, this doesn't introduce new
variables; merely reshuffles the compare so that gcc can see that an
overflow cannot happen.

When there are a large number of processors in a system, there
is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console.
It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the
console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take
about 84 minutes to clear the serial port.

This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages
which contain no additional information.  Much of this information
is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs.   Some of the messages
are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so
dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to
a problem.

The new cpu bootup sequence for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING:

Booting Node   0, Processors  #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 Ok.
Booting Node   1, Processors  #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 Ok.
...
Booting Node   3, Processors  #56 #57 #58 #59 #60 #61 #62 #63 Ok.
Brought up 64 CPUs

After the system is running, a single line boot message is displayed
when CPU's are hotplugged on:

    Booting Node %d Processor %d APIC 0x%x

Status of the following lines:

    CPU: Physical Processor ID:		printed once (for boot cpu)
    CPU: Processor Core ID:		printed once (for boot cpu)
    CPU: Hyper-Threading is disabled	printed once (for boot cpu)
    CPU: Thermal monitoring enabled	printed once (for boot cpu)
    CPU %d/0x%x -> Node %d:		removed
    CPU %d is now offline:		only if system_state == RUNNING
    Initializing CPU#%d:		KERN_DEBUG

Add documentation for kernel/bootloader_type and
kernel/bootloader_version to sysctl/kernel.txt.  This should really
have been done a long time ago.

The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.

This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
msr structs which are used on the respective cores.

Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
the callers of the MSR accessors.

Jens found the following crash/regression:

[    0.000000] found SMP MP-table at [ffff8800000fdd80] fdd80
[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 0-fff BIOS data page

and

[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 6000-7fff TRAMPOLINE

and bisected it to b24c2a92 ("x86: Move find_smp_config()
earlier and avoid bootmem usage").

It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable,
without reserving it.

So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of
hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.
