The Intel manual changed the name of the CPUID bit to match the instruction name. We should follow suit for sanity's sake. (See Intel SDM Volume 2, Table 3-20 "Feature Information Returned in the ECX Register".)

Add support for newly documented SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution Protection) CPU feature flag. SMEP prevents the CPU in kernel-mode to jump to an executable page that has the user flag set in the PTE. This prevents the kernel from executing user-space code accidentally or maliciously, so it for example prevents kernel exploits from jumping to specially prepared user-mode shell code.

Add this_cpu_has() which determines if the current cpu has a certain ability using a segment prefix and a bit test operation. For that we need to add bit operations to x86s percpu.h. Many uses of cpu_has use a pointer passed to a function to determine the current flags. That is no longer necessary after this patch. However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr. The rest is work for later. -tj: Rolled up patch to add x86_ prefix and use percpu_read() instead of percpu_read_stable().

This patch adds support for AMD family 15h core counters. There are major changes compared to family 10h. First, there is a new perfctr msr range for up to 6 counters. Northbridge counters are separate now. This patch only adds support for core counters. Second, certain events may only be scheduled on certain counters. For this we need to extend the event scheduling and constraints. We use cpu feature flags to calculate family 15h msr address offsets. This way we later can implement a faster ALTERNATIVE() version for this.

The AMD SSE5 feature set as-it has been replaced by some extensions to the AVX instruction set. Thus the bit formerly advertised as SSE5 is re-used for one of these extensions (XOP). Although this changes the /proc/cpuinfo output, it is not user visible, as there are no CPUs (yet) having this feature. To avoid confusion this should be added to the stable series, too.

The new IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS MSR allows system software to give hardware a hint whether OS policy favors more power saving, or more performance. This allows the OS to have some influence on internal hardware power/performance tradeoffs where the OS has previously had no influence. The support for this feature is indicated by CPUID.06H.ECX.bit3, as documented in the Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual.

Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel panic.

Intel AES-NI is a new set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that are going to be introduced in the next generation of Intel processor, as of 2009. These instructions enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), defined by FIPS Publication number 197. The architecture introduces six instructions that offer full hardware support for AES. Four of them support high performance data encryption and decryption, and the other two instructions support the AES key expansion procedure. The white paper can be downloaded from: http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/downloads/intelavx/AES-Instructions-Set_WP.pdf AES may be used in soft_irq context, but MMX/SSE context can not be touched safely in soft_irq context. So in_interrupt() is checked, if in IRQ or soft_irq context, the general x86_64 implementation are used instead.
