cf6567fe40 x86, x2apic: fix clear_local_APIC() in the presence of x2apic
Impact: cleanup, paranoia

We were not clearing the local APIC in clear_local_APIC() in the
presence of x2apic. Fix it.

7c6d9f9785 x86, x2apic: use virtual wire A mode in disable_IO_APIC() with interrupt-remapping
Impact: make kexec work with x2apic

disable_IO_APIC() gets called during crashdump aswell, which configures the
IO-APIC/LAPIC so that legacy interrupts can be delivered for the kexec'd kernel.

In the presence of interrupt-remapping, we need to change the
interrupt-remapping configuration aswell as modifying IO-APIC for virtual wire
B mode.

To keep things simple during the crash, use virtual wire A mode
(for which we don't need to touch io-apic and interrupt-remapping tables).

4bb9c5c021 VM, x86, PAT: Change is_linear_pfn_mapping to not use vm_pgoff
Impact: fix false positive PAT warnings - also fix VirtalBox hang

Use of vma->vm_pgoff to identify the pfnmaps that are fully
mapped at mmap time is broken. vm_pgoff is set by generic mmap
code even for cases where drivers are setting up the mappings
at the fault time.

The problem was originally reported here:

 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123383810628583&w=2

Change is_linear_pfn_mapping logic to overload VM_INSERTPAGE
flag along with VM_PFNMAP to mean full PFNMAP setup at mmap
time.

Problem also tracked at:

698609bdcd x86: create a non-zero sized bm_pte only when needed

Since in most configurations the pmd page needed maps the same range of
virtual addresses which is also mapped by the earlier inserted one for
covering FIX_DBGP_BASE, that page (and its insertion in the page
tables) can be avoided altogether by detecting the condition at compile
time.

5c0e6f035d x86: fix code paths used by update_mptable
Impact: fix crashes under Xen due to unrobust e820 code

find_e820_area_size() must return a properly distinguishable and
out-of-bounds value when it fails, and -1UL does not meet that
criteria on i386/PAE. Additionally, callers of the function must
check against that value.

early_reserve_e820() should be prepared for the region found to be
outside of the addressable range on 32-bits.

e820_update_range_map() should not blindly update e820, but should do
all it work on the map it got a pointer passed for (which in 50% of the
cases is &e820_saved). It must also not call e820_add_region(), as that
again acts on e820 unconditionally.

The issues were found when trying to make this option work in our Xen
kernel (i.e. where some of the silent assumptions made in the code
would not hold).

86d6f2bf61 UML on UML fixed: it did not start
It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
user-mode linux (UML on UML).  It breaks after a few instructions.  When
it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an
inconsistent result (from the outer UML).

This is the output of a broken attempt:
$ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow
Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0
Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000
Core dump limits :
        soft - 0
        hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256
$

The problem is the following:

PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.

PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
kernel/ptrace).

This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes
the problem.

a644b2774d MIPS: NEC VR5500 processor support fixup
Current VR5500 processor support lacks of some functions which are
expected to be configured/synthesized on arch initialization.

Here're some VR5500A spec notes:

* All execution hazards are handled in hardware.

* Once VR5500A stops the operation of the pipeline by WAIT instruction,
  it could return from the standby mode only when either a reset, NMI
  request, or all enabled interrupts is/are detected.  In other words,
  if interrupts are disabled by Status.IE=0, it keeps in standby mode
  even when interrupts are internally asserted.

  Notes on WAIT: The operation of the processor is undefined if WAIT
  insn is in the branch delay slot.  The operation is also undefined
  if WAIT insn is executed when Status.EXL and Status.ERL are set to 1.

* VR5500A core only implements the Load prefetch.

With these changes, it boots fine.

5e47c478b0 x86: remove zImage support
Impact: obsolete feature removal

The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
time.  It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
anyone ever uses it.  Furthermore, although it is still supported by
most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
not having even noticed.

Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
meaning.

211b3d03c7 x86: work around Fedora-11 x86-32 kernel failures on Intel Atom CPUs
Impact: work around boot crash

Work around Intel Atom erratum AAH41 (probabilistically) - it's triggering
in the field.

It may be useful for kmap_atomic_pfn() and iomap_atomic_prot_pfn()

kmap_atomic_pfn() and iomap_atomic_prot_pfn() are almost same
except pgprot. This patch removes the code duplication for these
two functions.

bb7f5f6c26 x86: shrink __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR definitions
Impact: cleanup

1) .p2align 4 and .align 16 are the same meaning
   (until a.out format for i386 is used which is
    not our case for CONFIG_X86_ALIGNMENT_16 anyway)

2) having 15 as max allowed bytes to be skipped
   does not make sense on modulo 16
