The AMD SSE5 feature set as-it has been replaced by some extensions to the AVX instruction set. Thus the bit formerly advertised as SSE5 is re-used for one of these extensions (XOP). Although this changes the /proc/cpuinfo output, it is not user visible, as there are no CPUs (yet) having this feature. To avoid confusion this should be added to the stable series, too.

We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number for the alternatives index. This consumes a padding field and so doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to create assembly errors on overflow no longer works.

The new IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS MSR allows system software to give hardware a hint whether OS policy favors more power saving, or more performance. This allows the OS to have some influence on internal hardware power/performance tradeoffs where the OS has previously had no influence. The support for this feature is indicated by CPUID.06H.ECX.bit3, as documented in the Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual. This patch discovers support of this feature and displays it as "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo.

gcc 3 is too braindamaged to be able to compile static_cpu_has() -- apparently it can't tell that a constant passed to an inline function is still a constant -- so if we're using gcc 3, just use the dynamic test.

For CPU-feature-specific code that touches performance-critical paths, introduce a static patching version of [boot_]cpu_has(). This is run at alternatives time and is therefore not appropriate for most initialization code, but on the other hand initialization code is generally not performance critical.

More information about PCLMULQDQ can be found at: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/ Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash.

Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel panic. This patch introduces a Linux specific feature flag to indicate support for extended APIC id (8 bits instead of 4 bits width) and sets the flag on AMD CPUs if applicable.

Intel AES-NI is a new set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that are going to be introduced in the next generation of Intel processor, as of 2009. These instructions enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), defined by FIPS Publication number 197. The architecture introduces six instructions that offer full hardware support for AES. Four of them support high performance data encryption and decryption, and the other two instructions support the AES key expansion procedure. The white paper can be downloaded from: http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/downloads/intelavx/AES-Instructions-Set_WP.pdf AES may be used in soft_irq context, but MMX/SSE context can not be touched safely in soft_irq context. So in_interrupt() is checked, if in IRQ or soft_irq context, the general x86_64 implementation are used instead.
