Now for a completely different but trivial approach.
I just boot tested it with 255 CPUS and everything worked.

Currently everything (except module data) we place in
the per cpu area we know about at compile time.  So
instead of allocating a fixed size for the per_cpu area
allocate the number of bytes we need plus a fixed constant
for to be used for modules.

It isn't perfect but it is much less of a pain to
work with than what we are doing now.

This unifies the standard backtracer and the new stacktrace
in memory backtracer. The standard one is converted to use callbacks
and then reimplement stacktrace using new callbacks.

The main advantage is that stacktrace can now use the new dwarf2 unwinder
and avoid false positives in many cases.

I kept it simple to make sure the standard backtracer stays reliable.

Lockdep can call the dwarf2 unwinder early, and the dwarf2 code
uses safe_smp_processor_id which tries to access the local APIC page.
But that doesn't work before the APIC code has set up its fixmap.

Check for this case and always return boot cpu then.

Instead of hackish manual parsing

Requires earlier i386 patchkit, but also fixes i386 early_printk again.

I removed some obsolete really early parameters which didn't do anything useful.
Also made a few parameters that needed it early (mostly oops printing setup)

Also removed one panic check that wasn't visible without
early console anyways (the early console is now initialized after that
panic)

This cleans up a lot of code.

Hello,

Following my discussion with Andi. Here is a patch that introduces
two new TIF flags to simplify the context switch code in __switch_to().
The idea is to minimize the number of cache lines accessed in the common
case, i.e., when neither the debug registers nor the I/O bitmap are used.

This patch covers the x86-64 modifications. A patch for i386 follows.

Changelog:
	- add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
	- add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
	- modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.

What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.

Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.

This patch cleans up the NMI interrupt path.  Instead of being gated by if
the 'nmi callback' is set, the interrupt handler now calls everyone who is
registered on the die_chain and additionally checks the nmi watchdog,
reseting it if enabled.  This allows more subsystems to hook into the NMI if
they need to (without being block by set_nmi_callback).

Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance
counters on the x86 chips.  Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to
make reviewing easier.  The SMP portion makes a lot more changes.

Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different
counter.  In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate
event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it
will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they
break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).

This will help prevent subsystems like oprofile from interfering with the
nmi watchdog.

This fixes a bunch of mislabelled and unlabelled #endifs in unistd.h and also

the minimal fix for the error reported about would have involved a more
