... it turns out that when trying to enable MSI-X,

get vector because for x2apic target-cpus returns cpumask_of(0)

Update that to online_mask like xapic.

With CONFIG_STACK_PROTECTOR turned on, VMI doesn't boot with
more than one processor. The problem is with the gs value not
being initialized correctly when registering the secondary
processor for VMI's case.

The patch below initializes the gs value for the AP to
__KERNEL_STACK_CANARY. Without this the secondary processor
keeps on taking a GP on every gs access.

However, Ingo disapproves such fixes as it's dangerous (it can
hide future, relevant warnings) - in something as
performance-uncritical.

So, initialize 'err' to '0' to work around a GCC false positive

In uv_setup_irq(), the call to create_irq() initially assigns
IRQ vectors to cpu 0. The subsequent call to
assign_irq_vector() in arch_enable_uv_irq() migrates the IRQ to
another cpu and frees the cpu 0 vector - at least it will be
freed as soon as the "IRQ move" completes.

arch_enable_uv_irq() needs to send a cleanup IPI to complete
the IRQ move. Otherwise, assignment of GRU interrupts on large
systems (>200 cpus) will exhaust the cpu 0 interrupt vectors
and initialization of the GRU driver will fail.

This happens because the 64-bit version of efi_ioremap calls
init_memory_mapping for all addresses, regardless of whether they are
RAM or MMIO.  The EFI tables on this machine ask for runtime access to
some MMIO regions:

[    0.000000] EFI: mem195: type=11, attr=0x8000000000000000, range=[0x0000000093400000-0x0000000093401000) (0MB)

This arranges to pass the EFI memory type through to efi_ioremap, and
makes efi_ioremap use ioremap rather than init_memory_mapping if the
type is EFI_MEMORY_MAPPED_IO.  With this, the above warning goes away.

The latest Apple MacBook (MacBook5,2) doesn't reboot successfully
under Linux; neither the EFI reboot method nor the default method
using the keyboard controller works (the system just hangs and doesn't
reset).  However, the method using the "PCI reset register" at 0xcf9
does work.

This adds a quirk to detect this machine via DMI and force the
reboot_type to BOOT_CF9.  With this it reboots successfully without
requiring a command-line option.  Note that the EFI code forces
reboot_type to BOOT_EFI when the machine is booted via EFI, but this
overrides that since the core_initcall runs after the EFI
initialization code.

initial_code must be kept too. This patch fixes this. See below for
the section mismatch warning.

Timer interrupts are excluded from being disabled during suspend. The
clock events code manages the disabling of clock events on its own
because the timer interrupt needs to be functional before the resume
code reenables the device interrupts.

The mfgpt timer request its interrupt without setting the IRQF_TIMER
flag so suspend_device_irqs() disables it as well which results in a
fatal resume failure.

Adding IRQF_TIMER to the interupt flags when requesting the mrgpt
timer interrupt solves the problem.

Vince suggested that this code was trying to address erratum
Y17 in Pentium-M's:

  http://download.intel.com/support/processors/mobile/pm/sb/25266532.pdf

But that erratum (related to IA32_MISC_ENABLES.7) does not
affect perfcounters as we dont use this toggle to disable RDPMC
and WRMSR/RDMSR access to performance counters. We keep cr4's
bit 8 (X86_CR4_PCE) clear so unprivileged RDPMC access is not
allowed anyway.

Stephen reported that his DL585 G2 needed noapic after 2.6.22 (?)

Dann bisected it down to:
  commit 30a18d6c
  Date:   Tue Feb 19 03:21:20 2008 -0800

      x86: multi pci root bus with different io resource range, on
      64-bit

It turns out that:
  1. that AMD-based systems have two HT chains.
  2. BIOS doesn't allocate resources for BAR 6 of devices under 8132 etc
  3. that multi-peer-root patch will try to split root resources to peer
     root resources according to PCI conf of NB
  4. PCI core assigns unassigned resources, but they overlap with BARs
     that are used by ioapic addr of io4 and 8132.

The reason: at that point ioapic address are not inserted yet.  Solution
is to insert ioapic resources into the tree a bit earlier.

Ingo noticed that both AMD and P6 call
x86_pmu_disable_counter() on *_pmu_enable_counter(). This is
because we rely on the side effect of that call to program
the event config but not touch the EN bit.

We change that for AMD by having enable_all() simply write
the full config in, and for P6 by explicitly coding it.

The P6 doesn't seem to support cache ref/hit/miss counts, so
we extend the generic hardware event codes to have 0 and -1
mean the same thing as for the generic cache events.

Furthermore, it turns out the 0 event does not count
(that is, its reported that on PPro it actually does count
something), therefore use a event configuration that's
specified not to count to disable the counters.

Add basic P6 PMU support. The P6 uses the EVNTSEL0 EN bit to
enable/disable both its counters. We use this for the
global enable/disable, and clear all config bits (except EN)
to disable individual counters.

Actual ia32 hardware doesn't support lfence, so use a locked
op without side-effect to implement a full barrier.

perf stat and perf record seem to function correctly.

The function paravirt_ops_setup() has been refering the
variable no_timer_check, which is a __initdata. Thus generates
the following warning. paravirt_ops_setup() function is called
from kvm_guest_init() which is a __init function. So to fix
this we mark paravirt_ops_setup as __init.

The sections-check output that warned us about this was:

   LD      arch/x86/built-in.o
  WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x166ce): Section mismatch in
  reference from the function paravirt_ops_setup() to the variable
  .init.data:no_timer_check
  The function paravirt_ops_setup() references
  the variable __initdata no_timer_check.
  This is often because paravirt_ops_setup lacks a __initdata
  annotation or the annotation of no_timer_check is wrong.

Improve the code to be saner and simpler and just print out
the bitfield in a single line using hexa values - not as a
(rather pointless) binary bitfield.

About every callchains recorded with perf record are filled up
including the internal perfcounter nmi frame:

 perf_callchain
 perf_counter_overflow
 intel_pmu_handle_irq
 perf_counter_nmi_handler
 notifier_call_chain
 atomic_notifier_call_chain
 notify_die
 do_nmi
 nmi

We want ignore this frame as it's not interesting for
instrumentation. To solve this, we simply ignore every frames
from nmi context.
