Being kernel-threads, nfsd servers don't get pre-empted (depending on
CONFIG).  If there is a steady stream of NFS requests that can be served
from cache, an nfsd thread may hold on to a cpu indefinitely, which isn't
very friendly.

So it is good to have a cond_resched in there (just before looking for a
new request to serve), to make sure we play nice.

This is needed for large multinode IBM systems which have a sparse
APIC space in clustered mode, fully covering the available 8 bits.

The previous kernels would limit the local APIC number to 127,
which caused it to reject some of the CPUs at boot.

I increased the maximum and shrunk the apic_version array a bit
to make up for that (the version is only 8 bit, so don't need
an full int to store)

CONFIG_CHECKING covered some debugging code used in the early times
of the port. But it wasn't even SMP safe for quite some time
and the bugs it checked for seem to be gone.

This patch removes all the code to verify GS at kernel entry. There
haven't been any new bugs in this area for a long time.

Previously it also covered the sysctl for the page fault tracing.
That didn't make much sense because that code was unconditionally
compiled in. I made that a boot option now because it is typically
only useful at boot.

The current x86_64 NUMA memory code is inconsequent when it comes to node
memory ranges. The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option
that is used.

setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to
calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine
if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the
current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes
as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might
lose a page at the end of the range.

This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU
so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is
the same way as the single node code.

The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations,
but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?

The logging for boot errors was turned off because it was broken

On x86_64 arches, there is no way to choose ACPI_NUMA without having to choose
K8_NUMA.  CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes.  It also
looks odd if you have to select ACPI_NUMA from the power management menu.
This patch fixes those oddities.  Patch does the following:

1. Makes NUMA a config option like other arches
2. Makes topology detection options like K8_NUMA dependent on NUMA
3. Choosing ACPI NUMA detection can be done from the standard
   "Processor type and features" menu

Keeping this function does not makes sense because it's a copied (and
buggy) copy of sys_time.  The only difference is that now.tv_sec (which is
a time_t, i.e.  a 64-bit long) is copied (and truncated) into a int
(32-bit).

The prototype is the same (they both take a long __user *), so let's drop
this and redirect it to sys_time (and make sure it exists by defining
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME).

Only disadvantage is that the sys_stime definition is also compiled (may be
fixed if needed by adding a separate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_STIME macro, and
defining it for all arch's defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME except x86_64).

The current value was correct before the introduction of Intel EM64T support -
but now L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be less than L1_CACHE_SHIFT, which _is_ funny!

Between the few users of ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp, we also have (for
example) rcu_ctrlblk, and struct zone, with zone->{lru_,}lock.  I.e.  we have
a lot of excess cacheline bouncing on them.

No correctness issues, obviously.  So this could even be merged for 2.6.14
(I'm not a fan of this idea, though).

Fields obtained through cpuid vector 0x1(ebx[16:23]) and
vector 0x4(eax[14:25], eax[26:31]) indicate the maximum values and might not
always be the same as what is available and what OS sees.  So make sure
"siblings" and "cpu cores" values in /proc/cpuinfo reflect the values as seen
by OS instead of what cpuid instruction says. This will also fix the buggy BIOS
cases (for example where cpuid on a single core cpu says there are "2" siblings,
even when HT is disabled in the BIOS.

Compute the highest possible value for memnode_shift, in order to reduce
footprint of memnodemap[] to the minimum, thus making all users
(phys_to_nid(), kfree()), more cache friendly.

Before the patch :

 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 00000001ffffffff
 Node 1 MemBase 0000000200000000 Limit 00000003ffffffff
 Using 23 for the hash shift. Max adder is 3ffffffff

After the patch :

 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 00000001ffffffff
 Node 1 MemBase 0000000200000000 Limit 00000003ffffffff
 Using 33 for the hash shift.

In this case, only 2 bytes of memnodemap[] are used, instead of 2048

With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB
on per CPU data of all possible CPUs.  The reason was that HOTPLUG
always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate
that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now)

The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs
the platform supports.  So the old code just assumed all, which would
lead to this memory wastage.

This implements some new heuristics:

 - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they
   can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit,
   but seems like a obvious extension)
 - The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option
 - Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.
