On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance
counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can
be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses).
Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance
counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these
MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same
northbridge).
We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h
northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce
this sharing.

CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported
Basic design is to emulate the MSR by allowing reads and writes to a guest
vcpu specific location to store the value of the emulated MSR while adding
the value to the vmcs tsc_offset. In this way the IA32_TSC_ADJUST value will
be included in all reads to the TSC MSR whether through rdmsr or rdtsc. This
is of course as long as the "use TSC counter offsetting" VM-execution control
is enabled as well as the IA32_TSC_ADJUST control.
However, because hardware will only return the TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST +
vmsc tsc_offset for a guest process when it does and rdtsc (with the correct
settings) the value of our virtualized IA32_TSC_ADJUST must be stored in one
of these three locations. The argument against storing it in the actual MSR
is performance. This is likely to be seldom used while the save/restore is
required on every transition. IA32_TSC_ADJUST was created as a way to solve
some issues with writing TSC itself so that is not an option either.
The remaining option, defined above as our solution has the problem of
returning incorrect vmcs tsc_offset values (unless we intercept and fix, not
done here) as mentioned above. However, more problematic is that storing the
data in vmcs tsc_offset will have a different semantic effect on the system
than does using the actual MSR. This is illustrated in the following example:
The hypervisor set the IA32_TSC_ADJUST, then the guest sets it and a guest
process performs a rdtsc. In this case the guest process will get
TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST_hyperviser + vmsc tsc_offset including
IA32_TSC_ADJUST_guest. While the total system semantics changed the semantics
as seen by the guest do not and hence this will not cause a problem.

On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now
unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16
bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much.
However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for
the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit
59e97e4d6f ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative").
So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good
idea.
On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly
hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had
used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts
have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and
rwsem).
That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment
would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section,
causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction
replacement.
So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's
unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the
linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the
proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive
were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious
bug to begin with.

This is an assembler implementation of the SHA1 algorithm using the
Supplemental SSE3 (SSSE3) instructions or, when available, the
Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX).
Testing with the tcrypt module shows the raw hash performance is up to
2.3 times faster than the C implementation, using 8k data blocks on a
Core 2 Duo T5500. For the smalest data set (16 byte) it is still 25%
faster.
Since this implementation uses SSE/YMM registers it cannot safely be
used in every situation, e.g. while an IRQ interrupts a kernel thread.
The implementation falls back to the generic SHA1 variant, if using
the SSE/YMM registers is not possible.
With this algorithm I was able to increase the throughput of a single
IPsec link from 344 Mbit/s to 464 Mbit/s on a Core 2 Quad CPU using
the SSSE3 variant -- a speedup of +34.8%.
Saving and restoring SSE/YMM state might make the actual throughput
fluctuate when there are FPU intensive userland applications running.
For example, meassuring the performance using iperf2 directly on the
machine under test gives wobbling numbers because iperf2 uses the FPU
for each packet to check if the reporting interval has expired (in the
above test I got min/max/avg: 402/484/464 MBit/s).
Using this algorithm on a IPsec gateway gives much more reasonable and
stable numbers, albeit not as high as in the directly connected case.
Here is the result from an RFC 2544 test run with a EXFO Packet Blazer
FTB-8510:
frame size sha1-generic sha1-ssse3 delta
64 byte 37.5 MBit/s 37.5 MBit/s 0.0%
128 byte 56.3 MBit/s 62.5 MBit/s +11.0%
256 byte 87.5 MBit/s 100.0 MBit/s +14.3%
512 byte 131.3 MBit/s 150.0 MBit/s +14.2%
1024 byte 162.5 MBit/s 193.8 MBit/s +19.3%
1280 byte 175.0 MBit/s 212.5 MBit/s +21.4%
1420 byte 175.0 MBit/s 218.7 MBit/s +25.0%
1518 byte 150.0 MBit/s 181.2 MBit/s +20.8%
The throughput for the largest frame size is lower than for the
previous size because the IP packets need to be fragmented in this
case to make there way through the IPsec tunnel.

A simple implementation that only supports the word size and does not
have a fallback mode (would require a spinlock).
Add 32 and 64 bit support for cmpxchg_double. cmpxchg double uses
the cmpxchg8b or cmpxchg16b instruction on x86 processors to compare
and swap 2 machine words. This allows lockless algorithms to move more
context information through critical sections.
Set a flag CONFIG_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE to signal that support for double word
cmpxchg detection has been build into the kernel. Note that each subsystem
using cmpxchg_double has to implement a fall back mechanism as long as
we offer support for processors that do not implement cmpxchg_double.

Add this_cpu_has() which determines if the current cpu has a certain
ability using a segment prefix and a bit test operation.
For that we need to add bit operations to x86s percpu.h.
Many uses of cpu_has use a pointer passed to a function to determine
the current flags. That is no longer necessary after this patch.
However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where
cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr. The rest is work for later.
-tj: Rolled up patch to add x86_ prefix and use percpu_read() instead
of percpu_read_stable().

This patch adds support for AMD family 15h core counters. There are
major changes compared to family 10h. First, there is a new perfctr
msr range for up to 6 counters. Northbridge counters are separate
now. This patch only adds support for core counters. Second, certain
events may only be scheduled on certain counters. For this we need to
extend the event scheduling and constraints.
We use cpu feature flags to calculate family 15h msr address offsets.
This way we later can implement a faster ALTERNATIVE() version for
this.

Using cpuid_eax() to determine feature availability on other than

checked in the hotplug code path.

The AMD SSE5 feature set as-it has been replaced by some extensions
to the AVX instruction set. Thus the bit formerly advertised as SSE5
is re-used for one of these extensions (XOP).
Although this changes the /proc/cpuinfo output, it is not user visible, as
there are no CPUs (yet) having this feature.
To avoid confusion this should be added to the stable series, too.

Accomodate the original C1E-aware idle routine to the different times
during boot when the BIOS enables C1E. While at it, remove the synthetic
CPUID flag in favor of a single global setting which denotes C1E status
on the system.

Add package level thermal and power limit feature support.
The two MSRs and features are new starting with Intel's Sandy Bridge processor.
Please check Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDMV Vol 3A 14.5.6 Power Limit
Notification and 14.6 Package Level Thermal Management.
This patch also fixes a bug which defines reverse THERM_INT_LOW_ENABLE bit and
THERM_INT_HIGH_ENABLE bit.

We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number
for the alternatives index. This consumes a padding field and so
doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to
create assembly errors on overflow no longer works. We can retain the
test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however.
