The MCE initialization code explicitly says it doesn't handle
asymmetric configurations where different CPUs support different
numbers of MCE banks, and it prints a big warning in that case.
Therefore, printing the "mce: CPU supports <x> MCE banks"
message into the kernel log for every CPU is pure redundancy
that clutters the log significantly for systems with lots of
CPUs.

A few parts of the uv_hub_info structure are initialized
incorrectly.
- n_val is being loaded with m_val.
- gpa_mask is initialized with a bytes instead of an unsigned long.
- Handle the case where none of the alias registers are used.
Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val
which is the correct value.
Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a
problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode
and the bau will not operate.

Older binutils breaks if ASSERT() is used without a sink
for the output.
For example 2.14.90.0.6 is known to be broken, the link
fails with:
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
ld:arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:678: parse error
Document this quirk in all three files that use it.

As only apic noop is used we allow to use almost any operation
caller wants (and which of them noop driver supports of
course).
Initially it was reported by Ingo Molnar that apic noop
issue a warning for pkg id (which is actually false positive
and should be eliminated).
So we save checking (and warning issue) for read/write
operations while allow any other ops to be freely used.
Also:
- fix noop_cpu_to_logical_apicid, it should be 0.
- rename noop_default_phys_pkg_id to noop_phys_pkg_id
(we use default_ prefix for more general routines
in apic subsystem).

Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.
v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

In case if a system has a large number of cpus printing apics
contents may consume a long time period.
We limit such an output by 1 apic by default. But to have an
ability to see all apics or some part of them we introduce
"show_lapic" setup option which allow us to limit/unlimit the
number of APICs being dumped.
Example: apic=debug show_lapic=5, or apic=debug show_lapic=all
Also move apic_verbosity checking upper that way so helper routines
do not need to inspect it at all.

The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a hook
to trace the exit of the function call. This hook will finish by
returning to the real location the function should return to.
But the current implementation uses a ret to jump to the real
return location. This causes a imbalance between calls and ret.
That is the original function does a call, the ret goes to the
handler and then the handler does a ret without a matching call.
Although the function graph tracer itself still breaks the branch
predictor by replacing the original ret, by using a second ret and
causing an imbalance, it breaks the predictor even more.
This patch replaces the ret with a jmp to keep the calls and ret
balanced. I tested this on one box and it showed a 1.7% increase in
performance. Another box only showed a small 0.3% increase. But no
box that I tested this on showed a decrease in performance by
making this change.

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.

Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.
Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
This takes into account comments made by:
. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
one) it has received so far.
. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
in the next call.
This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for
SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates
node setup into detection and registration steps, with the
exception of registering e820 active regions in
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init(). This is now moved to
acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred.
acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an
underlying SRAT was located. If so, that topology can be used by
the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes
or to register the nodes for ACPI.
acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical
topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

To eventually interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes, we
need to know the physical topology of the machine without actually
registering it. This does the k8 node setup in two parts:
detection and registration. NUMA emulation can then used the
physical topology detected to setup the address ranges of emulated
nodes accordingly. If emulation isn't used, the k8 nodes are
registered as normal.
Two formals are added to the x86 NUMA setup functions: `acpi' and
`k8'. These represent whether ACPI or K8 NUMA has been detected;
both cannot be true at the same time. This specifies to the NUMA
emulation code whether an underlying physical NUMA topology exists
and which interface to use.
This patch deals solely with separating the k8 setup path into
Northbridge detection and registration steps and leaves the ACPI
changes for a subsequent patch. The `acpi' formal is added here,
however, to avoid touching all the header files again in the next
patch.
This approach also ensures emulated nodes will not span physical
nodes so the true memory latency is not misrepresented.
k8_get_nodes() may now be used to export the k8 physical topology
of the machine for NUMA emulation.

Add an atomic notifier which ensures proper locking when conveying
MCE info to EDAC for decoding. The actual notifier call overrides a
default, negative priority notifier.
Note: make sure we register the default decoder only once since
mcheck_init() runs on each CPU.

As reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940
on some system when acpi are enabled, acpi clears some BAR for some
devices without reason, and kernel will need to allocate devices for
them. It then apparently hits some undocumented resource conflict,
resulting in non-working devices.
Try to increase alignment to get more safe range for unassigned devices.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current,
it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k!
Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this.

The only thing left that differs between the standard and compat
start_thread functions is the actual segment numbers and the
prototype, so have a single common function which contains the guts
and two very small wrappers.

For no real good reason, compat_start_thread() was embedded inline in
<asm/elf.h> whereas the native start_thread() lives in process_*.c.
Move compat_start_thread() to process_64.c, remove gratuitious
differences, and fix a few items which mostly look like bit rot.
In particular, compat_start_thread() didn't do free_thread_xstate(),
which means it was hanging on to the xstate store area even when it
was not needed. It was also not setting old_rsp, but it looks like
that generally shouldn't matter for a 32-bit process.
Note: compat_start_thread *has* to be a macro, since it is tested with
start_thread_ia32() as the out of line function name.

There is an erratum for IOMMU hardware which documents
undefined behavior when forwarding SMI requests from
peripherals and the DTE of that peripheral has a sysmgt
value of 01b. This problem caused weird IO_PAGE_FAULTS in my
case.
This patch implements the suggested workaround for that
erratum into the AMD IOMMU driver. The erratum is
documented with number 63.

This reverts commit 9bcbdd9c58617f1301dd4f17c738bb9bc73aca70.
The real bug producing LatencyTop latencies has been fixed in:
f5dc375: sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected
And the commit being reverted here triggers local timer processing
from every device IRQ. If device IRQs come in at a high frequency,
this could cause a performance regression.
The commit being reverted here purely 'fixed' the reported latency
as a side effect, because CPUs were being moved out of idle more
often.
