bf3647c44b x86: tone down mtrr_trim_uncached_memory() warning
kerneloops.org is reporting a lot of these warnings that come due to
vmware not setting up any MTRRs for emulated CPUs:

| Reported 709 times (14696 total reports)
| BIOS bug (often in VMWare) where the MTRR's are set up incorrectly
| or not at all
|
| This warning was last seen in version 2.6.29-rc2-git1, and first
| seen in 2.6.24.
|
| More info:
|   http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=mtrr_trim_uncached_memory

Keep a one-liner KERN_INFO about it - so that we have so notice if empty
MTRRs are caused by native hardware/BIOS weirdness.

30a0fb947a x86: correct the CPUID pattern for MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE availability
Impact: re-enable CPUID unmasking on affected processors

As far as I am capable of discerning from the documentation,
MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE should be available for all family 0xf CPUs, as
well as family 6 for model >= 0xd (newer Pentium M).

The documentation on this isn't ideal, so we need to be on the lookout
for errors, still.

99fb4d349d x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs, fix
Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs

rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.

So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
support it.

ef5fa0ab24 x86: work around PAGE_KERNEL_WC not getting WC in iomap_atomic_prot_pfn.
In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that
gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in
question.  By swapping to PAGE_KERNEL_UC_MINUS, we can get the actual
behavior the caller wanted (WC if you can manage it, UC otherwise).

This recovers the 40% performance improvement of using WC in the DRM
to upload vertex data.

e1b4d11436 x86: use standard PIT frequency
the RDC and ELAN platforms use slighly different PIT clocks, resulting in
a timex.h hack that changes PIT_TICK_RATE during build time. But if a
tester enables any of these platform support .config options, the PIT
will be miscalibrated on standard PC platforms.

So use one frequency - in a subsequent patch we'll add a quirk to allow
x86 platforms to define different PIT frequencies.

[<c0218875>] do_page_fault+0x36f/0x88a

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.

This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.

union {
    struct {
        unsigned long private;
        struct address_space *mapping;
    };
    spinlock_t ptl;
    struct kmem_cache *slab;
    struct page *first_page;
};

Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.

But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.

The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.

It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

reserve_memtype() was not initializing the return attribute type and as such
corrupting the PTE entry that was setup with the return attribute type.

Because of this bug, application mapping this RAM page through /dev/mem
will die with "Corrupted page table at address xxxx" message in the kernel
log and also the kernel identity mapping which maps the underlying RAM
page gets converted to UC.

Fix this by initializing the return attribute type before calling
reserve_ram_pages_type()

731f1872f4 x86: mtrr fix debug boot parameter
while looking at:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541

I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because
the code is processed much too early.

This patch:
 - Declares mtrr.show as early_param
 - Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt
   that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work
 - Declares mtrr_show as initdata

a1e46212a4 x86: fix page attribute corruption with cpa()
Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages

This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916df) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.

This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.

In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.

If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:

	__change_page_attr_set_clr()
		__change_page_attr()
			returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
			set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
		cpa_process_alias()
			uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
			which can potentially lead to changing the page
			attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
			mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!

This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.

Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

552b8aa4d1 Revert "x86: signal: change type of paramter for sys_rt_sigreturn()"
This reverts commit 4217458daf.

Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox
crashes.

The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.

So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

e0a96129db x86: use early clobbers in usercopy*.c
Impact: fix rare (but currently harmless) miscompile with certain configs and gcc versions

Hugh Dickins noticed that strncpy_from_user() was miscompiled
in some circumstances with gcc 4.3.

Thanks to Hugh's excellent analysis it was easy to track down.

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.

Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit
usercopy.c in the same way.

f5495506c3 x86: remove kernel_physical_mapping_init() from init section
Impact: fix crash with memory hotplug enabled

kernel_physical_mapping_init() is called during memory hotplug
so it does not belong in the init section.

If the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y on
the make command line, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c is compiled with
the -fno-inline-functions-called-once gcc option defeating
inlining of kernel_physical_mapping_init() within init_memory_mapping().

When kernel_physical_mapping_init() is not inlined it is placed
in the .init.text section according to the __init in it's current
declaration.  A later call to kernel_physical_mapping_init() during
a memory hotplug operation encounters an int3 trap because the
.init.text section memory has been freed.

This patch eliminates the crash caused by the int3 trap by moving the
non-inlined kernel_physical_mapping_init() from .init.text to .meminit.text.

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c is still broken: there's no
allocation of the variable mask, so we pass in an uninitialized cmd.mask
field to drv_read(), which then passes it to the scheduler which then
crashes ...

Switch it over to the much simpler constant-cpumask-pointers approach.

7285908185 cpufreq: use work_on_cpu in acpi-cpufreq.c for drv_read and drv_write
Impact: use new work_on_cpu function to reduce stack usage

Replace the saving of current->cpus_allowed and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with
a work_on_cpu function for drv_read() and drv_write().

Basically converts do_drv_{read,write} into "work_on_cpu" functions that
are now called by drv_read and drv_write.

Note: This patch basically reverts 50c668d6 which reverted 7503bfba, now
that the work_on_cpu() function is more stable.

b2b815d80a x86: put trigger in to detect mismatched apic versions
Impact: add debug warning

Fire off one message if two apic's discovered with different
apic versions. (this code is only called during CPU init)

The goal of this is to pave the way of the removal of the apic_version[]
array. We dont expect any apic version incompatibilities in the x86
landscape of systems [if so we dont handle them very well and probably
never will handle deep apic version assymetries well], but it's prudent
to have a debug check for one kernel cycle nevertheless.
