_cpu_pda array first uses statically allocated storage in data.init
and then switches to allocated bootmem to conserve space. However,
after folding pda area into percpu area, _cpu_pda array will be
removed completely. Drop the reallocation part to simplify the code
for soon-to-follow changes.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]
CPU startup code in head_64.S loaded address of a zero page into %gs
for temporary use till pda is loaded but address to the actual pda is
available at the point. Load the real address directly instead.
This will help unifying percpu and pda handling later on.
This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]
This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding
PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on
the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S. A new
PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address
zero. PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which
always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region.
The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address
change.
* code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the
load address to the gdt_page offset.
* __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area
is necessary.
* pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero
value doesn't work anymore.
This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Base percpu
variables at zero" patch.

Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the
subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over
the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to
calculate pte addresses).
This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot
process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number
of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't
show up the problem).
Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its
entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered
and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile
scheme ever breaks again...
Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap
trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes
potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early
ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by
early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration,
namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the
time the fixmap area page tables get constructed.
Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space
needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for
large CPU counts to actually boot.

This reverts commit 58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff, which
makes my Nehalem come to a nasty crawling almost-halt. It looks like it
turns off caching of regular kernel RAM, with the understandable
slowdown of a few orders of magnitude as a result.

Impact: fix build warning
The macro cpu_to_node did not reference it's argument, and instead
simply returned a 0. This causes a "unused variable" warning if
it's the only reference in a function (show_cache_disable).

Here X is trying to map first 8KB of memory using /dev/mem. Existing
code treats first 0-4KB of memory as non-RAM and 4KB-8KB as RAM. Recent
code changes don't allow to map memory with different attributes

track the attribute requests with in this region using linear linked

Right now the generic cacheline size is 128 bytes - that is wasteful
when structures are aligned, as all modern x86 CPUs have an (effective)
cacheline sizes of 64 bytes.
It was set to 128 bytes due to some cacheline aliasing problems on
older P4 systems, but those are many years old and we dont optimize
for them anymore. (They'll still get the 128 bytes cacheline size if
the kernel is specifically built for Pentium 4)

Impact: micro-optimization, memory reduction
On x86_64 flush tlb data is stored in per_cpu variables. This is
unnecessary because only the first NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS entries
are accessed.
This patch aims at making the code less confusing (there's nothing
really "per_cpu") by using a plain array. It also would save some memory
on most distros out there (Ubuntu x86_64 has NR_CPUS=64 by default).

is ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp, so that there's no
bouncing on vsmp. ]

Impact: reduce scope of debug check - avoid warnings
The logic to find whether identity map exists or not using
high_memory or max_low_pfn_mapped/max_pfn_mapped are not complete
as the memory withing the range may not be mapped if there is a
unusable hole in e820.
Specifically, on my test system I started seeing these warnings with
tools like hwinfo, acpidump trying to map ACPI region.

We can add logic to check for this. But, there can also be other holes in
identity map when we have 1GB of aligned reserved space in e820.
This patch handles it by removing the WARN_ON and returning a specific
error value (EFAULT) to indicate that the address does not have any
identity mapping.
The code that tries to keep identity map in sync can ignore
this error, with other callers of cpa still getting error here.

Impact: avoid warning message, potentially solve 3D performance regression
Change x86 PAT code to return compatible memtype if the exact memtype that
was requested in remap_pfn_rage and friends is not available due to some
conflict.
This is done by returning the compatible type in pgprot parameter of
track_pfn_vma_new(), and the caller uses that memtype for page table.
Note that track_pfn_vma_copy() which is basically called during fork gets the
prot from existing page table and should not have any conflict. Hence we use
strict memtype check there and do not allow compatible memtypes.
This patch fixes the bug reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123108883716357&w=2
Specifically the error message:

Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.
Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.
Probably should be done for other architectures too.
Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.
On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.
With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:
6116998 1138540 883788 8139326 7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch
6137043 1138540 883788 8159371 7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining
~20k / 0.3% difference.

Impact: fix potential boot crash on MAXSMP
Remove code left over by:
50c668d: Revert "cpumask: use work_on_cpu in acpi-cpufreq.c for drv_read
That cmd.cpumask is not allocated anymore. No impact on default !MAXSMP
kernels.

This reverts commit e0c7317557c8fc8eacf611e30c2a80f4e24e47a3.
This patch was wrong, as lockdep (and thus the irq state tracer)
aren't nmi safe. People are already seeing lockdep warnings due
to this.

This reverts commit 7503bfbae89eba07b46441a5d1594647f6b8ab7d.
Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to
this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system.
The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code,
but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the
hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before
lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the
policy lock taken.
Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack
trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel
place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch.
work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.

Fix this by reintroducing asm/smp.h include in apic.c - later on
I will fix this by removing non-smp data from smp.h
Also fix the __inquire_remote_apic() prototype/inline.

Ajith Kumar noticed:
I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear
about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function.
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address);
pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address);
Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

The commit is fine - but the on-stack workqueue entry needs annotation.
