Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions
uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with
the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn
and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so
don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original
functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

This reverts commit e20a2d20, as it crashes
certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models.

Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate
earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply
not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking
framework:

* missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831

* makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E
idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in
deeper C-states:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20

Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

Older AMD K8 processors (Revisions A-E) are affected by erratum
400 (APIC timer interrupts don't occur in C states greater than
C1). This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should
not be set for these parts.

This addresses regression introduced by commit
b87cf80a ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT
feature on AMD processors") where the system may become
unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input)
occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported
correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups.

Support for Always Running APIC timer (ARAT) was introduced in
commit db954b58. This feature
allows us to avoid switching timers from LAPIC to something else
(e.g. HPET) and go into timer broadcasts when entering deep
C-states.

AMD processors don't provide a CPUID bit for that feature but
they also keep APIC timers running in deep C-states (except for
cases when the processor is affected by erratum 400). Therefore
we should set ARAT feature bit on AMD CPUs.

Unlike 64bit, 32bit has been using its own cpu_to_node_map[] for
CPU -> NUMA node mapping.  Replace it with early_percpu variable
x86_cpu_to_node_map and share the mapping code with 64bit.

* USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID is now enabled for 32bit too.

* x86_cpu_to_node_map and numa_set/clear_node() are moved from
  numa_64 to numa.  For now, on 32bit, x86_cpu_to_node_map is initialized
  with 0 instead of NUMA_NO_NODE.  This is to avoid introducing unexpected
  behavior change and will be updated once init path is unified.

* srat_detect_node() is now enabled for x86_32 too.  It calls
  numa_set_node() and initializes the mapping making explicit
  cpu_to_node_map[] updates from map/unmap_cpu_to_node() unnecessary.

The mapping between cpu/apicid and node is done via
apicid_to_node[] on 64bit and apicid_2_node[] +
apic->x86_32_numa_cpu_node() on 32bit. This difference makes it
difficult to further unify 32 and 64bit NUMA handling.

This patch unifies it by replacing both apicid_to_node[] and
apicid_2_node[] with __apicid_to_node[] array, which is accessed
by two accessors - set_apicid_to_node() and numa_cpu_node().  On
64bit, numa_cpu_node() always consults __apicid_to_node[]
directly while 32bit goes through apic->numa_cpu_node() method
to allow apic implementations to override it.

srat_detect_node() for amd cpus contains workaround for broken
NUMA configuration which assumes relationship between APIC ID,
HT node ID and NUMA topology.  Leave it to access
__apicid_to_node[] directly as mapping through CPU might result
in undesirable behavior change.  The comment is reformatted and
updated to note the ugliness.

On multi-node CPUs we don't need the socket wide compute unit ID
but the node-wide compute unit ID. Thus we need to normalize the

A compute unit is then identified by physical_package_id,

Replace all uses of current_cpu_data with this_cpu operations on the
per cpu structure cpu_info.  The scala accesses are replaced with the
matching this_cpu ops which results in smaller and more efficient
code.

In the long run, it might be a good idea to remove cpu_data() macro
too and use per_cpu macro directly.

6b37f5a2 introduced the CPU frequency
calibration code for AMD CPUs whose TSCs didn't increment with the
core's P0 frequency. From F10h, revB onward, however, the TSC increment
rate is denoted by MSRC001_0015[24] and when this bit is set (which
should be done by the BIOS) the TSC increments with the P0 frequency
so the calibration is not needed and booting can be a couple of mcecs
faster on those machines.

Besides, there should be virtually no machines out there which don't
have this bit set, therefore this calibration can be safely removed. It
is a shaky hack anyway since it assumes implicitly that the core is in
P0 when BIOS hands off to the OS, which might not always be the case.

Errata are defined using the AMD_LEGACY_ERRATUM() or AMD_OSVW_ERRATUM()
macros. The latter is intended for newer errata that have an OSVW id
assigned, which it takes as first argument. Both take a variable number
of family-specific model-stepping ranges created by AMD_MODEL_RANGE().

Iff an erratum has an OSVW id, OSVW is available on the CPU, and the
OSVW id is known to the hardware, it is used to determine whether an
erratum is present. Otherwise, the model-stepping ranges are matched
against the current CPU to find out whether the erratum applies.

For certain special errata, the code using this framework might have to
conduct further checks to make sure an erratum is really (not) present.

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.

This counts when building sched domains in case NUMA information
is not available.

( See cpu_coregroup_mask() which uses llc_shared_map which in turn is
  created based on cpu_llc_id. )

Currently Linux builds domains as follows:
(example from a dual socket quad-core system)

 CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
  domain 0: span 0-7 level CPU
   groups: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  ...

 CPU7 attaching sched-domain:
  domain 0: span 0-7 level CPU
   groups: 7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Ever since that is borked for multi-core AMD CPU systems.
This patch fixes that and now we get a proper:

 CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
  domain 0: span 0-3 level MC
   groups: 0 1 2 3
   domain 1: span 0-7 level CPU
    groups: 0-3 4-7

  ...

 CPU7 attaching sched-domain:
  domain 0: span 4-7 level MC
   groups: 7 4 5 6
   domain 1: span 0-7 level CPU
    groups: 4-7 0-3

This allows scheduler to assign tasks to cores on different sockets
(i.e. that don't share last level cache) for performance reasons.

bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel
