On platforms where the BIOS handles the thermal monitor interrupt,
APIC_LVTTHMR on each logical CPU is programmed to generate a SMI
and OS must not touch it.

Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clears all
the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in
all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set
to masked (clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR).

And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring
interrupt on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed
value only on BSP).

As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal
monitoring interrupt is generated.

Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on
BSP and if bios has taken over the control, then program the
same value on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring
interrupt control on all the logical cpu's to the bios.

This approach is the first baby step towards solving many of the
structural problems the x86 MCE logging code is having today:

 - It has a private ring-buffer implementation that has a number
   of limitations and has been historically fragile and buggy.

 - It is using a quirky /dev/mcelog ioctl driven ABI that is MCE
   specific. /dev/mcelog is not part of any larger logging
   framework and hence has remained on the fringes for many years.

 - The MCE logging code is still very unclean partly due to its ABI
   limitations. Fields are being reused for multiple purposes, and
   the whole message structure is limited and x86 specific to begin
   with.

All in one, the x86 tree would like to move away from this private
implementation of an event logging facility to a broader framework.

By using perf events we gain the following advantages:

 - Multiple user-space agents can access MCE events. We can have an
   mcelog daemon running but also a system-wide tracer capturing
   important events in flight-recorder mode.

 - Sampling support: the kernel and the user-space call-chain of MCE
   events can be stored and analyzed as well. This way actual patterns
   of bad behavior can be matched to precisely what kind of activity
   happened in the kernel (and/or in the app) around that moment in
   time.

 - Coupling with other hardware and software events: the PMU can track a
   number of other anomalies - monitoring software might chose to
   monitor those plus the MCE events as well - in one coherent stream of
   events.

 - Discovery of MCE sources - tracepoints are enumerated and tools can
   act upon the existence (or non-existence) of various channels of MCE
   information.

 - Filtering support: we just subscribe to and act upon the events we
   are interested in. Then even on a per event source basis there's
   in-kernel filter expressions available that can restrict the amount
   of data that hits the event channel.

 - Arbitrary deep per cpu buffering of events - we can buffer 32
   entries or we can buffer as much as we want, as long as we have
   the RAM.

 - An NMI-safe ring-buffer implementation - mappable to user-space.

 - Built-in support for timestamping of events, PID markers, CPU
   markers, etc.

 - A rich ABI accessible over system call interface. Per cpu, per task
   and per workload monitoring of MCE events can be done this way. The
   ABI itself has a nice, meaningful structure.

 - Extensible ABI: new fields can be added without breaking tooling.
   New tracepoints can be added as the hardware side evolves. There's
   various parsers that can be used.

 - Lots of scheduling/buffering/batching modes of operandi for MCE
   events. poll() support. mmap() support. read() support. You name it.

 - Rich tooling support: even without any MCE specific extensions added
   the 'perf' tool today offers various views of MCE data: perf report,
   perf stat, perf trace can all be used to view logged MCE events and
   perhaps correlate them to certain user-space usage patterns. But it
   can be used directly as well, for user-space agents and policy action
   in mcelog, etc.

With this we hope to achieve significant code cleanup and feature
improvements in the MCE code, and we hope to be able to drop the
/dev/mcelog facility in the end.

This patch is just a plain dumb dump of mce_log() records to
the tracepoints / perf events framework - a first proof of
concept step.

On some Intel processors, not all events can be measured in all
counters. Some events can only be measured in one particular
counter, for instance. Assigning an event to the wrong counter does
not crash the machine but this yields bogus counts, i.e., silent
error.

This patch changes the event to counter assignment logic to take
into account event constraints for Intel P6, Core and Nehalem
processors. There is no contraints on Intel Atom. There are
constraints on Intel Yonah (Core Duo) but they are not provided in
this patch given that this processor is not yet supported by
perf_events.

As a result of the constraints, it is possible for some event
groups to never actually be loaded onto the PMU if they contain two
events which can only be measured on a single counter. That
situation can be detected with the scaling information extracted
with read().

Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also
reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using
iwlagn.

It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get
checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic
timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other
wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible.

The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer
interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that:

 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less

 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
    the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.

I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the
original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported
success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec
range.

Make decoding of MCEs happen only on AMD hardware by registering a
non-default callback only on CPU families which support it.

While looking at the interaction of decode_mce() with the other MCE
code i also noticed a few other things and made the following
cleanups/fixes:

 - Fixed the mce_decode() weak alias - a weak alias is really not
   good here, it should be a proper callback. A weak alias will be
   overriden if a piece of code is built into the kernel - not
   good, obviously.

 - The patch initializes the callback on AMD family 10h and 11h.

 - Added the more correct fallback printk of:

	No support for human readable MCE decoding on this CPU type.
	Transcribe the message and run it through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode.

   On CPUs that dont have a decoder.

 - Made the surrounding code more readable.

Note that the callback allows us to have a default fallback -
without having to check the CPU versions during the printout
itself. When an EDAC module registers itself, it can install the
decode-print function.

(there's no unregister needed as this is core code.)

This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
all modern systems.

If you use the kernel argument:

  earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200

This will cause a recursive hang printing the same line
again and again:

Instead warn the end user that they specified the device
a second time, and ignore that second console.

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message

    Skipping synchronization checks as TSC is reliable.

once for every non-boot CPU.

This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a
64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:

    $ dmesg | grep 'TSC is reliable' | wc
         63     567    4221

There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is
just checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a
printk_once() to make the message appears only once.

* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h --
   not needed after kref conversion
 * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it

NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however
due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related
headers and files alone.

Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask (to be a pointer).

It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

This snuck in after the patch which removed all the others.
