Capitalize function call interrupts consistently.

for "function call interrupts". Capitalize it too for consistency.

While that's technically a published ABI I think the risk of anyone

de014d6176 x86: Change warning message in TSC calibration.
When calibration against PIT fails, the warning that we print is misleading.
In a virtualized environment the VM may get descheduled while calibration
or, the check in PIT calibration may fail due to other virtualization
overheads.

The warning message explicitly assumes that calibration failed due to SMI's
which may not be the case. Change that to something proper.

fbb16e2438 [x86] Fix TSC calibration issues
Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59
"x86: merge tsc calibration".

The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.

Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.

On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
with SMI detection shows better results.

According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
calibration method.

The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
either/or decision.

1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
frequency

2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.

3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
based calibration

4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
decide after all iterations finished.

5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
makes sense.

The implementation does the reference calibration based on
HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
resulting calibration values.

Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
(affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

7414aa41a6 x86: generate names for /proc/cpuinfo from <asm/cpufeature.h>
We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its
predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in
/proc/cpuinfo.  This patch generates the latter from the former.

It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by
making that require a separate action it should at least be less
likely to happen.

It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are
gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace
interface and must remain constant.)

8735728ef8 x86 MCE: Fix CPU hotplug problem with multiple multicore AMD CPUs
During CPU hot-remove the sysfs directory created by
threshold_create_bank(), defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c, has to be removed before
its parent directory, created by mce_create_device(), defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_64.c .  Moreover, when the CPU in
question is hotplugged again, obviously the latter has to be created
before the former.  At present, the right ordering is not enforced,
because all of these operations are carried out by CPU hotplug
notifiers which are not appropriately ordered with respect to each
other.  This leads to serious problems on systems with two or more
multicore AMD CPUs, among other things during suspend and hibernation.

Fix the problem by placing threshold bank CPU hotplug callbacks in
mce_cpu_callback(), so that they are invoked at the right places,
if defined.  Additionally, use kobject_del() to remove the sysfs
directory associated with the kobject created by
kobject_create_and_add() in threshold_create_bank(), to prevent the
kernel from crashing during CPU hotplug operations on systems with
two or more multicore AMD CPUs.

This patch fixes bug #11337.

None of the spinlock API is exported GPL, so there's no reason for
pv_lock_ops to be.

bde78a79a6 x86: use WARN() in arch/x86/kernel
Use WARN() instead of a printk+WARN_ON() pair; this way the message
becomes part of the warning section for better reporting/collection.
This also allowed the folding of some if()'s into the WARN()

85d577979a werror: fix pci calgary
Fix an integer comparison always false warning in the PCI Calgary 64 driver.

A u8 is being compared to something that's 512 by default, resulting in the
following warning:

arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c:1285: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type

This was introduced by patch b34e90b8f0.

99dd871330 x86, SGI UV: hardcode the TLB flush interrupt system vector
The UV TLB shootdown mechanism needs a system interrupt vector.

Its vector had been hardcoded as 200, but needs to moved to the reserved
system vector range so that it does not collide with some device vector.

This is still temporary until dynamic system IRQ allocation is provided.
But it will be needed when real UV hardware becomes available and runs 2.6.27.

c6744955d0 x86: fix "kernel won't boot on a Cyrix MediaGXm (Geode)"
Cyrix MediaGXm/Cx5530 Unicorn Revision 1.19.3B has stopped
booting starting at v2.6.22.

The reason is this commit:

> commit f25f64ed5b
> Author: Juergen Beisert <juergen@kreuzholzen.de>
> Date:   Sun Jul 22 11:12:38 2007 +0200
>
>     x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions.

this commit activated a macro which was dormant before due to (buggy)
macro side-effects.

I've looked through various datasheets and found that the GXm and GXLV
Geode processors don't have an incrementor.

Remove the incrementor setup entirely.  As the incrementor value
differs according to clock speed and we would hope that the BIOS
configures it correctly, it is probably the right solution.

f607e3a03c Revert "[CPUFREQ][2/2] preregister support for powernow-k8"
This reverts commit 34ae7f35a2, which has
been reported to cause a number of problems.  During suspend and resume,
it apparently causes a crash in a CPU hotplug notifier to happen,
although the exact details are sketchy because of the inability to get
good traces during the suspend sequence.

See buzilla entries

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11296
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11339

for more examples and details.

[ Mark: "Revert the patch for now.  I'm still looking into getting a
  reliable reproduction and I do not have a fix at this time." ]
