617d34d9e5 x86, mm: Hold mm->page_table_lock while doing vmalloc_sync
Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region.  This prevents
a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the
page_table_lock is already held.  If this race occurs, then Xen can see
an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable
page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either
the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel.

vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of
page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users.

The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't
be otherwise used for pgds.

e360adbe29 irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.

The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

5bcd757f93 x86/amd-iommu: Reenable AMD IOMMU if it's mysteriously vanished over suspend
AMD's reference BIOS code had a bug that could result in the
firmware failing to reenable the iommu on resume. It
transpires that this causes certain less than desirable
behaviour when it comes to PCI accesses, to whit them ending
up somewhere near Bristol when the more desirable outcome
was Edinburgh. Sadness ensues, perhaps along with filesystem
corruption.  Let's make sure that it gets turned back on,
and that we restore its configuration so decisions it makes
bear some resemblance to those made by reasonable people
rather than crack-addled lemurs who spent all your DMA on
Thunderbird.

Intel Medfield platform has a high speed UART device, which
could act as a early console. To enable early printk of HSU
console, simply add "earlyprintk=hsu" in kernel command line.

Currently we put the code in the early_printk_mrst.c as it is
also for Intel MID platforms like the mrst early console

c20b5c3318 x86, earlyprintk: Add earlyprintk for Intel Moorestown platform
Intel Moorestown platform has a spi-uart device(Maxim3110),
which connects to a Designware spi core controller. This patch
will add early console function based on it.

As it will be used long before Linux spi subsystem get
initialised, we simply directly manipulate the spi controller's
register to acheive the early console func. This is safe as it
will be disabled when devices subsytem get initialised.

To use it, user need enable CONFIG_X86_MRST_EARLY_PRINTK in
kenrel config and add "earlyprintk=mrst" in kernel command line.

5a47c7dae8 x86: Add two helper macros for fixed address mapping
Sometimes fixmap will be used to map an physical address which
is not PAGE align, so to use it we need first map it and then
add the address offset to the mapped fixed address. These 2 new
helpers are suggested by Ingo Molnar to make the process
simpler.

For a physicall address like "phys", a directly usable virtual
address can be get by
	virt = (void *)set_fixmap_offset(fixed_idx, phys);
or
	virt = (void *)set_fixmap_offset_nocache(fixed_idx, phys);
(depends on whether the physical address is cachable or not).

c9e2fbd909 x86: Avoid 'constant_test_bit()' misoptimization due to cast to non-volatile
While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4
misoptimization of non-inlined constant_test_bit() due to non-volatile
addr when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *'
with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading
to hang.

Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined
constant_test_bit() and correct jump, thus working around the kernel bug.

Other arches than asm-x86 may implement this slightly differently;
2.6.29 mitigates the misoptimization by changing the function prototype
(commit c4295fbb60) but probably fixing the issue
itself is better.

4c894f47bb x86/amd-iommu: Work around S3 BIOS bug
This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to
the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the
IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system
comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The
bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware
specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the
contents of these registers at boot time and restores them
on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific
IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.

95fccd465e jump label: Remove duplicate structure for x86
The structure in the x86 jump label code uses the typedef jump_label_t,
which is defined by the #ifdef arch type. The structure does not need
to be duplicated there.

d9f5ab7b1c jump label: x86 support
add x86 support for jump label. I'm keeping this patch separate so its clear
to arch maintainers what was required for x86 support this new feature.
Hopefully, it wouldn't be too painful for other archs.

bf5438fca2 jump label: Base patch for jump label
base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.

23ac4ae827 x86, k8: Rename k8.[ch] to amd_nb.[ch] and CONFIG_K8_NB to CONFIG_AMD_NB
The file names are somehow misleading as the code is not specific to
AMD K8 CPUs anymore. The files accomodate code for other AMD CPU
northbridges as well.

Same is true for the config option which is valid for AMD CPU
northbridges in general and not specific to K8.

ea53069231 x86, hotplug: Use mwait to offline a processor, fix the legacy case
The code in native_play_dead() has a number of problems:

1. We should use MWAIT when available, to put ourselves into a deeper
   sleep state.
2. We use the existence of CLFLUSH to determine if WBINVD is safe, but
   that is totally bogus -- WBINVD is 486+, whereas CLFLUSH is a much
   later addition.
3. We should do WBINVD inside the loop, just in case of something like
   setting an A bit on page tables.  Pointed out by Arjan van de Ven.

This code is based in part of a previous patch by Venki Pallipadi, but
unlike that patch this one keeps all the detection code local instead
of pre-caching a bunch of information.  We're shutting down the CPU;
there is absolutely no hurry.

This patch moves all the code to C and deletes the global
wbinvd_halt() which is broken anyway.

900f9ac9f1 x86, k8-gart: Decouple handling of garts and northbridges
So far we only provide num_k8_northbridges. This is required in
different areas (e.g. L3 cache index disable, GART). But not all AMD
CPUs provide a GART. Thus it is useful to split off the GART handling
from the generic caching of AMD northbridge misc devices.

3ee48b6af4 mm, x86: Saving vmcore with non-lazy freeing of vmas
During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing
ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed
vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next()
is chewing up most of that time).

This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It
causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the
vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()).

With this patch we have seen the time for writing a 250MB
compressed dump drop from 71 seconds to 44 seconds.

89e45aac42 x86: Fix instruction breakpoint encoding
Lengths and types of breakpoints are encoded in a half byte
into CPU registers. However when we extract these values
and store them, we add a high half byte part to them: 0x40 to the
length and 0x80 to the type.
When that gets reloaded to the CPU registers, the high part
is masked.

While making the instruction breakpoints available for perf,
I zapped that high part on instruction breakpoint encoding
and that broke the arch -> generic translation used by ptrace
instruction breakpoints. Writing dr7 to set an inst breakpoint
was then failing.

There is no apparent reason for these high parts so we could get
rid of them altogether. That's an invasive change though so let's
do that later and for now fix the problem by restoring that inst
breakpoint high part encoding in this sole patch.
