This is a multi-part message in MIME format.  If the cpu lacks 3DNOW
feature, we can use a normal prefetcht0 instruction instead of NOP5.
"prefetchw (%rxx)" and "prefetcht0 (%rxx)" have the same length, ranging
from 3 to 5 bytes depending on the register.  So this patch even helps
AMD64, shortening the length of the code.

i386 arch cleanup.  Introduce the serialize macro to serialize processor
state.  Why the microcode update needs it I am not quite sure, since wrmsr()
is already a serializing instruction, but it is a microcode update, so I will
keep the semantic the same, since this could be a timing workaround.  As far
as I can tell, this has always been there since the original microcode update
source.

Chuck Ebbert noticed that the desc_empty macro is incorrect.  Fix it.

Thankfully, this is not used as a security check, but it can falsely
overwrite TLS segments with carefully chosen base / limits.  I do not
believe this is an issue in practice, but it is a kernel bug.

Add 2 macros to set and get debugreg on x86_64.  This is useful for Xen
because it will need only to redefine each macro to a hypervisor call.

Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly.  This will
fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running
compatibility mode apps.

a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000.  During
   exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
   not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
   freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page.  And instead of exec
   failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to
   succeed previously.

b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area
   may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption
   because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning
   ENOMEM.

c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail.

  mmap((void *)(0xFFFFE000UL), 0x10000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
	MAP_FIXED|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, 0, 0);

x86_64: Switch SMP bootup over to new CPU hotplug state machine
EDESC
From: "Andi Kleen" <ak@suse.de>

This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of
crufty code.  It also should plug some races that the old hackish way
introduces.  Remove one old race workaround in NMI watchdog setup that is not
needed anymore.

I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code.  The brag value of
BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market.

Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is
there now.

One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before.  The
old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later.  Instead the TSC of the
BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
