116f570e5d x86: nmi_watchdog - use nmi_watchdog variable for printing
Since it is possible NMI_ definitions could be changed
one day we better print out real nmi_watchdog value instead
of constant string.

b6df1b8bc1 x86: fix stack overflow for large values of MAX_APICS
physid_mask_of_physid() causes a huge stack (12k) to be created if the
number of APICS is large. Replace physid_mask_of_physid() with a
new function that does not create large stacks. This is a problem only
on large x86_64 systems.

this paves the way to increase MAX_APICS.

23ca4bba3e x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4
* Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU".  This is
    used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
    before there are per_cpu areas allocated.

    ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu
    areas have been setup".]

    This patchset adds these new macros:

	DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue)
	EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name)
	DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name)

	early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)
	early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx)
	early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu)

    The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
    map and pointer.  It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
    elements to "_initvalue".  The early_* macros provide access to
    the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
    pointer.  This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
    but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup.  After
    that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.

    The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
    access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
    "early" and "late".  It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
    then it's still valid.  Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
    instead:

	#define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) 			\
		(early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ?			\
			early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] :	\
			per_cpu(_name, _cpu))

    A better method is to actually check the pointer manually.  In the
    case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late":

	void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node)
	{
	    int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map);

	    if (cpu_to_node_map)
		    cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node;
	    else
		    per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
	}

  * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
    to topology cpumask_t maps are available.  Otherwise, use the function
    returning the cpumask_t value.  This is useful if cpumask_t set size
    is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack.

  * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while
    the non-debug case has been optimized a bit.

  * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c

  * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c

For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

acae7d906f x86: APIC/UP: Downgrade the NMI watchdog for no I/O APIC
If configured to use the I/O APIC, the NMI watchdog is deemed to fail if
the chip will not be used in the UP configuration, because "noapic" has
been specified or the chip is simply not there.  Downgrade to the local
APIC watchdog to rectify.

The new #ifdef is ugly, I know.  A proper solution is to provide suitable
definitions of smp_found_config, etc. for !CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC in a header.
Likewise the whole if () condition should be moved to a static inline
function.  Such clean-ups are beyond the scope of this change and can be
done once the whole issue of the timer has been sorted out.

|     x86: I/O APIC: clean up the 8259A on a NMI watchdog failure

the problem is that in the dummy-lapic branch we rely on the i8259A
but if the NMI watchdog fails we turn off IRQ 0 - which doesnt work
too well ;-)

aa276e1caf x86, clockevents: add C1E aware idle function
C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to
now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops
when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high
resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based
laptops.

The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw
as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module
is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point.

To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle
function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the
Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting
for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well.

af5ca3f4ec Driver core: change sysdev classes to use dynamic kobject names
All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer
need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just
unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup.

f44d9efd35 x86: fix APIC related bootup crash on Athlon XP CPUs
warmbloodedcreature@gmail.com reported that an APIC-enabled
Asus a7v8x-x with an Athlon XP reboots early in the bootup:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8723

after a long marathon of spontaneous-reboot debugging, it turns
out to be caused by sync_Arb_ids(). AMD CPUs never really needed
this sequence anyway, so just return early if we meet an AMD CPU.

38e760a133 x86: expand /proc/interrupts to include missing vectors, v2
Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.

/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.

This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:

	rescheduling interrupts
	TLB flush interrupts
	function call interrupts
	thermal event interrupts
	threshold interrupts
	spurious interrupts

A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency.  Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.

Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip.  IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.

A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC.  Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from.  For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.

Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS.  Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.

AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.
