94ea03cdda x86: provide read and write cr8 paravirt hooks
Since the cr8 manipulation functions ended up staying in the tree,
they can't be defined just when PARAVIRT is off: In this patch,
those functions are defined for the PARAVIRT case too.

99fc8d424b x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrs
On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached.  Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e.  right around init time).

This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match.  A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.

Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.

This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

03252919b7 x86: print which shared library/executable faulted in segfault etc. messages v3
They now look like:

hal-resmgr[13791]: segfault at 3c rip 2b9c8caec182 rsp 7fff1e825d30 error 4 in libacl.so.1.1.0[2b9c8caea000+6000]

This makes it easier to pinpoint bugs to specific libraries.

And printing the offset into a mapping also always allows to find the
correct fault point in a library even with randomized mappings. Previously
there was no way to actually find the correct code address inside
the randomized mapping.

Relies on earlier patch to shorten the printk formats.

They are often now longer than 80 characters, but I think that's worth it.

ca74a6f84e x86: optimize lock prefix switching to run less frequently
On VMs implemented using JITs that cache translated code changing the lock
prefixes is a quite costly operation that forces the JIT to throw away and
retranslate a lot of code.

Previously a SMP kernel would rewrite the locks once for each CPU which
is quite unnecessary. This patch changes the code to never switch at boot in
 the normal case (SMP kernel booting with >1 CPU) or only once for SMP kernel
on UP.

This makes a significant difference in boot up performance on AMD SimNow!
Also I expect it to be a little faster on native systems too because a smp
switch does a lot of text_poke()s which each synchronize the pipeline.

0c07ee38c9 x86: use the correct cpuid method to detect MWAIT support for C states
Previously there was a AMD specific quirk to handle the case of
AMD Fam10h MWAIT not supporting any C states. But it turns out
that CPUID already has ways to detectly detect that without
using special quirks.

The new code simply checks if MWAIT supports at least C1 and doesn't
use it if it doesn't. No more vendor specific code.

Note this is does not simply clear MWAIT because MWAIT can be still
useful even without C states.

Credit goes to Ben Serebrin for pointing out the (nearly) obvious.

The size of the system call table for 32-bit x86 kernels is obtained by
compile-time calculation of the sys_call_table array, not from the value,
which the NR_syscalls macro expands to. This trivial patch removes the
fossil macro.

Manually tested by grepping the x86 files for the "NR_syscalls" string.
No relevant use cases found.

Build-tested using allyesconfig, allnoconfig and a couple of randconfig
instances. All builds successfully finished.

Based on patch from Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>.

Don't rely on kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) returning PAGE_SIZE aligned memory
(Xen requires GDT *and* LDT to be page-aligned). Using the page
allocator interface also removes the (albeit small) slab allocator
overhead. The same change being done for 64-bits for consistency.

Further, the Xen hypercall interface expects the LDT address to be
virtual, not machine.

Rather than remove and/or mangle inb_p/outb_p we want to remove the use

depend on 32/64bitism or similar so start by adding inb/outb_pit and
inb/outb_pic so that we can make them use any scheme we settle on without
disturbing the existing, correct (for ISA), port 0x80 usage. (eg we can
make inb_pit use udelay without messing up inb_p).

Floppy already does this for the fdc. That really only leaves the CMOS as

0723a69a63 x86: fix synchronize_rcu(): high latency on idle system
an otherwise idle system takes about 3 ticks per network
interface in unregister_netdev() due to multiple calls to synchronize_rcu(),
which adds up to quite a few seconds for tearing down thousands of
interfaces.  By flushing pending rcu callbacks in the idle loop, the system
makes progress hundreds of times faster.  If this is indeed a sane thing to,
it probably needs to be done for other architectures than x86.  And yes, the
network stack shouldn't call synchronize_rcu() quite so much, but fixing that
is a little more involved.

6b8be6df7f x86: add ENDPROC() markers
The ENDPROCs() were not used everywhere.  Some code used just END() instead,
while other code used nothing.  um/sys-i386/checksum.S didn't #include
<linux/linkage.h> .  I also got confused because gcc puts the
.type near the ENTRY, while ENDPROC puts it on the opposite end.

6f4d368ef9 x86: last of trivial fault_32|64.c unification
Comments, indentation, printk format.

Uses task_pid_nr() on X86_64 now, but this is always defined
to task->pid.

608566b4ed x86: do_page_fault small unification
Copy the prefetch of map_sem from X86_64 and move the check
notify_page_fault (soon to be kprobe_handle_fault) out of
the unlikely if() statement.

This makes the X86_32|64 pagefault handlers closer to each
other.

f2857ce920 x86: remove last user of get_segment_eip
is_prefetch was the last user of get_segment_eip and only on
X86_32.  This function returned the faulting instruction's
address and set the upper segment limit.

Instead, use the convert_ip_to_linear helper and rely on
probe_kernel_address to do the segment checks which was
already done everywhere the segment limit was being checked
on X86_32.

Remove get_segment_eip as well.
