The idea with those routines is to slowly phase them out and not call
them on anything else besides K8. They even have a check for that which,
when called too early, fails. Let me explain:
It gets the cpuinfo_x86 pointer from the per_cpu array and when this
happens for cpu0, before its boot_cpu_data has been copied back to the
per_cpu array in smp_store_boot_cpu_info(), we get an empty struct and
thus the check fails.
Use boot_cpu_data directly instead.

"This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
one would like.
The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how
much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.
This has several advantages:
1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
early in the kernel startup).
2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large
systems.
3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.
The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.
Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
__phys_addr()/__pa()."

The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of
some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache.
This patch disables it on the affected CPUs.
The issue is similar to that one of last year:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html
This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another
quirk for newer CPUs.
The performance penalty without the patch depends on the
circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%.
The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same
physical page under different virtual addresses, so different
processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of
PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both
cores of the same compute unit.
More details can be found here:
http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf
CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver.
That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the
just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera).
The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2,
A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the
range of model ids.

f7f286a910 ("x86/amd: Re-enable CPU topology extensions in case BIOS

{rd,wr}msr variants for no real reason.
This caused boot panics on xen which wasn't initializing the
{rd,wr}msr_safe_regs pv_ops members properly.
This, in turn, caused a heated discussion leading to us reviewing all
uses of the AMD-specific variants and removing them where unneeded
(almost everywhere except an obscure K8 BIOS fix, see 6b0f43ddfa).
Finally, this patch switches to the standard {rd,wr}msr*_safe* variants
which should've been used in the first place anyway and avoided unneeded
excitation with xen.

It's only called from amd.c:srat_detect_node(). The introduced
condition for calling the fixup code is true for all AMD
multi-node processors, e.g. Magny-Cours and Interlagos. There we
have 2 NUMA nodes on one socket. Thus there are cores having
different numa-node-id but with equal phys_proc_id.
There is no point to print error messages in such a situation.
The confusing/misleading error message was introduced with
commit 64be4c1c24 ("x86: Add
x86_init platform override to fix up NUMA core numbering").
Remove the default fixup function (especially the error message)

Stephane Eranian reported that doing a scheduler latency
measurements with perf on AMD doesn't work out as expected due
to the fact that the sched_clock() granularity is too coarse,
i.e. done in jiffies due to the sched_clock_stable not set,
which, if set, would mean that we get to use the TSC as sample
source which would give us much higher precision.
However, there's no reason not to set sched_clock_stable on AMD
because all families from F10h and upwards do have an invariant
TSC and have the CPUID flag to prove (CPUID_8000_0007_EDX[8]).
Make it so, #1.

keeping up the distinction:

People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit
bcb80e5387 ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to
/proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into
"early_init_amd()".
At that point we are *so* early in the booth that the exception tables
haven't even been set up yet, so the whole
rdmsr_safe(MSR_AMD64_PATCH_LEVEL, &c->microcode, &dummy);
doesn't actually work: if the rdmsr does a GP fault (due to non-existant
MSR register on older CPU's), we can't fix it up yet, and the boot fails.
Fix it by simply moving the code to a slightly later point in the boot
(init_amd() instead of early_init_amd()), since the kernel itself
doesn't even really care about the microcode patchlevel at this point
(or really ever: it's made available to user space in /proc/cpuinfo, and
updated if you do a microcode load).

This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.
This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.
This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.
It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.
This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
and/or vendors unaffected.

Commit b87cf80af3 added support for
ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not
affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor
families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it
is in a deep C state, including C1E state.
Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may
have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat
complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT
support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to
broadcasting timer when going idle.

The workaround for Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012
introduced a read and a write to the MC4 mask msr.
Unfortunatly this MSR is not emulated by the KVM hypervisor
so that the kernel will get a #GP and crashes when applying
this workaround when running inside KVM.
This issue was reported as:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35132
and is fixed with this patch. The change just let the kernel
ignore any #GP it gets while accessing this MSR by using the
_safe msr access methods.

Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions
uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with
the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn
and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so
don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original
functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

This reverts commit e20a2d205c, as it crashes
certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models.
Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate
earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply
not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking
framework:
* missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831
* makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E
idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in
deeper C-states:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20
Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

Older AMD K8 processors (Revisions A-E) are affected by erratum
400 (APIC timer interrupts don't occur in C states greater than
C1). This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should
not be set for these parts.
This addresses regression introduced by commit
b87cf80af3 ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT
feature on AMD processors") where the system may become
unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input)
occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported
correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups.

This patch disables GartTlbWlk errors on AMD Fam10h CPUs if
the BIOS forgets to do is (or is just too old). Letting
these errors enabled can cause a sync-flood on the CPU
causing a reboot.
The AMD BKDG recommends disabling GART TLB Wlk Error completely.
This patch is the fix for
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012
on my machine.

Support for Always Running APIC timer (ARAT) was introduced in
commit db954b5898. This feature
allows us to avoid switching timers from LAPIC to something else
(e.g. HPET) and go into timer broadcasts when entering deep
C-states.
AMD processors don't provide a CPUID bit for that feature but
they also keep APIC timers running in deep C-states (except for
cases when the processor is affected by erratum 400). Therefore
we should set ARAT feature bit on AMD CPUs.

but causes a compiler warning:

The compiler is right - initialize it with a proper value.
Also, fix up a comment while at it.
