Alignment of alloc_bootmem() depends on the value of
L1_CACHE_SHIFT. What we need here, however, is 64 byte alignment. Use
alloc_bootmem_align() and explicitly specify the alignment instead.
This fixes a kernel boot crash reported by Jody when the cpu in .config
is set to MPENTIUMII but the kernel is booted on a xsave-capable CPU.

The vdso Makefile passes linker-style -m options not to the linker but
to gcc. This happens to work with earlier gcc, but fails with gcc
4.6. Pass gcc-style -m options, instead.
Note: all currently supported versions of gcc supports -m32, so there
is no reason to conditionalize it any more.

When adjusting the code to handle removing the old nmi watchdog,
I forgot to consider the compile case when the local apic is not
enabled.
This change fixes the following build error:

commit 995bd3bb5 (x86: Hpet: Avoid the comparator readback penalty)
chose 8 HPET cycles as a safe value for the ETIME check, as we had the
confirmation that the posted write to the comparator register is
delayed by two HPET clock cycles on Intel chipsets which showed
readback problems.
After that patch hit mainline we got reports from machines with newer
AMD chipsets which seem to have an even longer delay. See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1054283 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1069458 for further
information.
Boris tried to come up with an ACPI based selection of the minimum
HPET cycles, but this failed on a couple of test machines. And of
course we did not get any useful information from the hardware folks.
For now our only option is to chose a paranoid high and safe value for
the minimum HPET cycles used by the ETIME check. Adjust the minimum ns
value for the HPET clockevent accordingly.

The delayed TSC init function does not check whether the system has no
TSC or TSC is disabled at the kernel command line, which results in a
crash in the work queue based extended calibration due to division by
zero because the basic calibration never happened.
Add the missing checks and do not touch TSC when not available or
disabled.

setup_local_APIC() is used to setup local APIC early during CPU
initialization and already assumes that preemption is disabled on
entry. However, The function unnecessarily disables and enables
preemption and uses smp_processor_id() multiple times in and out of
the nested preemption disabled section. This gives the wrong
impression that the function might be able to handle being called with
preemption enabled and/or migrated to another processor in the middle.
Make it clear that the function is always called with preemption
disabled, drop the confusing preemption disable block and call
smp_processor_id() once at the beginning of the function.

Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the
unknown_nmi_panic to the traps.c file. Because the old nmi
watchdog was deleted before this change happened, the
unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost. This re-adds it.
Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its
documentation updated accordingly.

assign_to_mp_irq() is copying the struct mpc_intsrc members one by
one. That's silly. Use memcpy() and let the compiler figure it out.
Same for the identical function assign_to_mpc_intsrc()
mp_irq_mpc_intsrc_cmp() is comparing the struct members one by one,
but no caller ever checks the different return codes. Use memcmp()
instead.

Introduce text_poke_smp_batch(). This function modifies several
text areas with one stop_machine() on SMP. Because calling
stop_machine() is heavy task, it is better to aggregate
text_poke requests.

it is not for generic use. )

Unoptimization occurs when a probe is unregistered or disabled,
and is heavy because it recovers instructions by using
stop_machine(). This patch delays unoptimization operations and
unoptimize several probes at once by using
text_poke_smp_batch(). This can avoid unexpected system slowdown
coming from stop_machine().
Changes in v5:
- Split this patch into several cleanup patches and this patch.
- Fix some text_mutex lock miss.
- Use bool instead of int for behavior flags.
- Add additional comment for (un)optimizing path.
Changes in v2:
- Use dynamic allocated buffers and params.

This patch enables the UART on the CE4100. The UART has a couple of
issues that need to be worked around. First the UART is mostly PC
compatible except that it is clocked eight times faster than a
standard PC so the default configuration provided in
arch/x86/include/asm/serial.h needs to be overridden. Second the TX
interrupt may not be set correctly all the time. Lastly accessing the
UART via I/O space for early_prink() hangs the chip when the IOAPIC is
enabled.
A custom mem_serial_in() is provided to work around the TX interrupt
issue. The configuration issues are dealt with in the call back
registered with the 8250 driver via serial8250_set_isa_configurator()

Boot to boot the TSC calibration may vary by quite a large amount.
While normal variance of 50-100ppm can easily be seen, the quick
calibration code only requires 500ppm accuracy, which is the limit
of what NTP can correct for.
This can cause problems for systems being used as NTP servers, as
every time they reboot it can take hours for them to calculate the
new drift error caused by the calibration.
The classic trade-off here is calibration accuracy vs slow boot times,
as during the calibration nothing else can run.
This patch uses a delayed workqueue to calibrate the TSC over the
period of a second. This allows very accurate calibration (in my
tests only varying by 1khz or 0.4ppm boot to boot). Additionally this
refined calibration step does not block the boot process, and only
delays the TSC clocksoure registration by a few seconds in early boot.
If the refined calibration strays 1% from the early boot calibration
value, the system will fall back to already calculated early boot
calibration.
Credit to Andi Kleen who suggested using a timer quite awhile back,
but I dismissed it thinking the timer calibration would be done after
the clocksource was registered (which would break things). Forgive
me for my short-sightedness.
This patch has worked very well in my testing, but TSC hardware is
quite varied so it would probably be good to get some extended
testing, possibly pushing inclusion out to 2.6.39.

On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running:
# mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith
# find /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file
crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen. Often it results in oops
messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly
and made Xen print some rude messages:
(XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp

Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would
allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it. This is because
vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had
finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages
while still having these RW aliases.
Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and
so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages.
Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB
itself as needed to maintain its invariants.
When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes
immediately. There's no point in deferring this because there's no
amortization benefit.
The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the
cost of the IPIs.
This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression
since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use
of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf877b60 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped
pages") . XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

When remapping MSIs into pirqs for PV on HVM guests, qemu is responsible
for doing the actual mapping and unmapping.
We only give qemu the desired pirq number when we ask to do the mapping
the first time, after that we should be reading back the pirq number
from qemu every time we want to re-enable the MSI.
This fixes a bug in xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs that manifests itself when
trying to enable the same MSI for the second time: the old MSI to pirq
mapping is still valid at this point but xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs would
try to assign a new pirq anyway.
A simple way to reproduce this bug is to assign an MSI capable network
card to a PV on HVM guest, if the user brings down the corresponding
ethernet interface and up again, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the
device.

Only make swapper_pg_dir readonly and pinned when generic x86 architecture code
(which also starts on initial_page_table) switches to it. This helps ensure
that the generic setup paths work on Xen unmodified. In particular
clone_pgd_range writes directly to the destination pgd entries and is used to
initialise swapper_pg_dir so we need to ensure that it remains writeable until
the last possible moment during bring up.
This is complicated slightly by the need to avoid sharing kernel PMD entries
when running under Xen, therefore the Xen implementation must make a copy of
the kernel PMD (which is otherwise referred to by both intial_page_table and
swapper_pg_dir) before switching to swapper_pg_dir.

Xen will shoot all the VCPUs when we do a shutdown hypercall, so there's
no need to do it manually.
In any case it will fail because all the IPI irqs have been pulled
down by this point, so the cross-CPU calls will simply hang forever.
Until change 76fac077db6b34e2c6383a7b4f3f4f7b7d06d8ce the function calls
were not synchronously waited for, so this wasn't apparent. However after
that change the calls became synchronous leading to a hang on shutdown
on multi-VCPU guests.

If the guest domain has been suspend/resumed or migrated, then the
system clock backing the pvclock clocksource may revert to a smaller
value (ie, can be non-monotonic across the migration/save-restore).
Make sure we zero last_value in that case so that the domain
continues to see clock updates.

The AES-NI instructions are also available in legacy mode so the 32-bit
architecture may profit from those, too.
To illustrate the performance gain here's a short summary of a dm-crypt
speed test on a Core i7 M620 running at 2.67GHz comparing both assembler
implementations:
x86: i568 aes-ni delta
ECB, 256 bit: 93.8 MB/s 123.3 MB/s +31.4%
CBC, 256 bit: 84.8 MB/s 262.3 MB/s +209.3%
LRW, 256 bit: 108.6 MB/s 222.1 MB/s +104.5%
XTS, 256 bit: 105.0 MB/s 205.5 MB/s +95.7%
Additionally, due to some minor optimizations, the 64-bit version also
got a minor performance gain as seen below:
x86-64: old impl. new impl. delta
ECB, 256 bit: 121.1 MB/s 123.0 MB/s +1.5%
CBC, 256 bit: 285.3 MB/s 290.8 MB/s +1.9%
LRW, 256 bit: 263.7 MB/s 265.3 MB/s +0.6%
XTS, 256 bit: 251.1 MB/s 255.3 MB/s +1.7%
