      x86: stop_machine_text_poke() should issue sync_core() · 0e00f7ae
      由 Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于 
      Intel Archiecture Software Developer's Manual section 7.1.3 specifies that a
core serializing instruction such as "cpuid" should be executed on _each_ core
before the new instruction is made visible.

Failure to do so can lead to unspecified behavior (Intel XMC erratas include
General Protection Fault in the list), so we should avoid this at all cost.

This problem can affect modified code executed by interrupt handlers after
interrupt are re-enabled at the end of stop_machine, because no core serializing
instruction is executed between the code modification and the moment interrupts
are reenabled.

Because stop_machine_text_poke performs the text modification from the first CPU
decrementing stop_machine_first, modified code executed in thread context is
also affected by this problem. To explain why, we have to split the CPUs in two
categories: the CPU that initiates the text modification (calls text_poke_smp)
and all the others. The scheduler, executed on all other CPUs after
stop_machine, issues an "iret" core serializing instruction, and therefore
handles core serialization for all these CPUs. However, the text modification
initiator can continue its execution on the same thread and access the modified
text without any scheduler call. Given that the CPU that initiates the code
modification is not guaranteed to be the one actually performing the code
modification, it falls into the XMC errata.

Q: Isn't this executed from an IPI handler, which will return with IRET (a
   serializing instruction) anyway?
A: No, now stop_machine uses per-cpu workqueue, so that handler will be
   executed from worker threads. There is no iret anymore.

      microblaze: Do not copy reset vectors/manual reset vector setup · 0b9b0200
      由 Michal Simek 提交于 
      Reset vector can be setup by bootloader and kernel doens't need
to touch it. If you require to setup reset vector, please use
CONFIG_MANUAL_RESET_VECTOR throught menuconfig.
It is not possible to setup address 0x0 as reset address because
make no sense to set it up at all.

      microblaze: Fix _reset function · 7574349c
      由 Michal Simek 提交于 
      If soft reset falls through with no hardware assisted reset, the best
we can do is jump to the reset vector and see what the bootloader left
for us.

      microblaze: Fix microblaze init vectors · 626afa35
      由 Michal Simek 提交于 
      Microblaze vector table stores several vectors (reset, user exception,
interrupt, debug exception and hardware exception).
All these functions can be below address 0x10000. If they are, wrong
vector table is genarated because jump is not setup from two instructions
(imm upper 16bit and brai lower 16bit).
Adding specific offset prevent problem if address is below 0x10000.
For this case only brai instruction is used.

      x86, tlb, UV: Do small micro-optimization for native_flush_tlb_others() · 25542c64
      由 Xiao Guangrong 提交于 
      native_flush_tlb_others() is called from:

 flush_tlb_current_task()
 flush_tlb_mm()
 flush_tlb_page()

All these functions disable preemption explicitly, so we can use
smp_processor_id() instead of get_cpu() and put_cpu().
