Impact: stack protector for x86_32 Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it. It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes. CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu variable. x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely need something better.

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.

At this time, the PowerNow! driver for K8 uses an experimentally derived formula to calculate transition latency. The value it provides is orders of magnitude too large on modern systems. This patch replaces the formula with ACPI _PSS latency values for more accuracy and better performance. I've tested it on two 2nd generation Opteron systems, a 3rd generation Operton system, and a Turion X2 without seeing any stability problems.

Impact: split out a function, no functional change Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on. For various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time. It does, however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no pressing need to reload the gdt. Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call it directly.

The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between 'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support': config X86_SMP bool depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64) This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended more to cover all the specialities of Voyager. So remove this complication in the Kconfig space. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: Fixes potential crashes on misconfigured systems. Some CPU features require specific CPUID levels to be available in order to function, as they contain information about the operation of a specific feature. However, some BIOSes and virtualization software provide the ability to mask CPUID levels in order to support legacy operating systems. We try to enable such CPUID levels when we know how to do it, but for the remaining cases, filter out such CPU features when there is no way for us to support them. Do this in one place, in the CPUID code, with a table-driven approach. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>

Impact: cleanup Make the following uv related cleanups. * collect visible uv related definitions and interfaces into uv/uv.h and use it. this cleans up the messy situation where on 64bit, uv is defined properly, on 32bit generic it's dummy and on the rest undefined. after this clean up, uv is defined on 64 and dummy on 32. * update uv_flush_tlb_others() such that it takes cpumask of to-be-flushed cpus as argument, instead of that minus self, and returns yet-to-be-flushed cpumask, instead of modifying the passed in parameter. this interface change will ease dummy implementation of uv_flush_tlb_others() and makes uv tlb flush related stuff defined in tlb_uv proper.
