For 64 bit the following functional changes are introduced: - .data.page_aligned has moved - .data.cacheline_aligned has moved - .data.read_mostly has moved - ALIGN() moved out of output section for .data.cacheline_aligned - ALIGN() moved out of output section for .data.page_aligned Notice that 32 bit and 64 bit has different location of _edata. .data_nosave is 32 bit only as 64 bit is special due to PERCPU.

32 bit x86 had a dedicated .text.head output section, whereas 64 bit had it all in a single output section. In the unified version the dedicated .text.head output section was kept to have full control over the head code. 32 bit: - Moved definition of _stext to the linker script. The definition is located _after_ .text.page_aligned as this is what 32 bit did before. The ALIGN(8) was introduced so we hit the exact same address (on the tested config) before and after the move. I assume that it is a bug that _stext did not cover the .text.page_aligned section - if this is true it can be fixed in a follow-up patch (and the ugly ALIGN() can be dropped).

Look at the: diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a "pgtable" thing. So unify them. There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion. For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64", and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't do that. Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about "head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;) [ Impact: cleanup, unification ] Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: NSam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like 'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work. My bad. 'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"): (a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()' and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does. (b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the call on that CPU. Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel. So let's just work around the silly semantic bugs in that function.

Revert part of af5c820a ("x86: cpumask: use work_on_cpu in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c") That change is causing only one Intel CPU's microcode to be updated e.g. microcode: CPU3 updated from revision 0x9 to 0x17, date = 2005-04-22 where before it announced that also for CPU0 and CPU1 and CPU2. We cannot use work_on_cpu() in the CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE code, because Intel's request_microcode_user() involves a copy_from_user() from /sbin/microcode_ctl, which therefore needs to be on that CPU at the time.

To simplify level irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping, Suresh used a virtual vector (io-apic pin number) to eliminate io-apic RTE modification. Level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. So in addition to do the local apic EOI, it still needs to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. Pls refer to Suresh's patch for more details (commit 0280f7c4). Now interrupt remapping is decoupled from x2apic, it also needs to do the directed EOI for apic. Otherwise, apic interrupts won't work correctly.
