2013-02-16perf/x86/amd: Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15hJacob Shin
On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses). Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same northbridge). We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce this sharing.

2013-02-13tools/power turbostat: display SMI count by defaultLen Brown
The SMI counter is popular -- so display it by default rather than requiring an option. What the heck, we've blown the 80 column budget on many systems already... Note that the value displayed is the delta during the measurement interval. The absolute value of the counter can still be seen with the generic 32-bit MSR option, ie. -m 0x34 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2013-01-31x86, AMD: Enable WC+ memory type on family 10 processorsBoris Ostrovsky
In some cases BIOS may not enable WC+ memory type on family 10 processors, instead converting what would be WC+ memory to CD type. On guests using nested pages this could result in performance degradation. This patch enables WC+.

2013-01-27x86, boot: Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocolH. Peter Anvin
Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional fields to allow the command line, initramfs and struct boot_params to live above the 4 GiB mark. The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points are supported. Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness at least until the issue can be researched further. This is based on patches by Yinghai Lu and David Woodhouse.

2013-01-09x86, MCE: Retract most UAPI exportsBorislav Petkov
Retract back most macro definitions which went into the user-visible mce.h header. Even though those bits are mostly hardware-defined/-architectural, their naming is not. If we export them to userspace, any kernel unification/renaming/cleanup cannot be done anymore since those are effectively cast in stone. Besides, if userspace wants those definitions, they can write their own defines and go crazy. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
