97cfab6ac4 x86: PAT: fix ambiguous paranoia check in pat_init()
Starting with commit 8d4a430085 (x86:
cleanup PAT cpu validation) the PAT CPU feature flag is not cleared
anymore. Now the error message

  "PAT enabled, but CPU feature cleared"

in pat_init() is misleading.

Furthermore the current code does not check for existence of the PAT
CPU feature flag if a CPU is whitelisted in validate_pat_support.

This patch clears pat_wc_enabled if boot CPU has no PAT feature flag
and adapts the paranoia check.

c26421d019 x86: fix Xorg crash with xf86MapVidMem error
Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code
resilient to mtrr lookup problems.

Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what
conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type
when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat
consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup
for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr
lookup failure.

pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type
to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem
mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping
UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS
area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is
not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings.

(2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or
WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still
effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same
region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in
PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type
rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as
hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default.

In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the
memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple
users.

bbdf1c1e58 [ARM] 5037/1: Orion: fix DNS323/Kurobox Pro PCI initialisation
Whereas most Orion 5x machine support code would initialise the PCI
subsystem with nr_controllers in their struct hw_pci set to 2, the
DNS323 and Kurobox Pro machine support code had nr_controllers set
to 1.

This was presumably done because on those two machines, the PCI(-X)
controller (nr == 1) isn't used, requiring initialisation of only
the PCIe controller (nr == 0.)  However, not initialising the PCI(-X)
controller on boards that don't use it leads to a situation where
both the PCIe and the PCI(-X) controller think that their root bus is
zero, and it messes up IRQ assignment.

This patch changes the DNS323 and Kurobox Pro support code to always
use nr_controllers == 2.

e9623b3559 x86: disable mwait for AMD family 10H/11H CPUs
The previous revert of 0c07ee38c9 left
out the mwait disable condition for AMD family 10H/11H CPUs.

Andreas Herrman said:

It depends on the CPU. For AMD CPUs that support MWAIT this is wrong.
Family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs will enter C1 on HLT. Powersavings then
depend on a clock divisor and current Pstate of the core.

If all cores of a processor are in halt state (C1) the processor can
enter the C1E (C1 enhanced) state. If mwait is used this will never
happen.

Thus HLT saves more power than MWAIT here.

It might be best to switch off the mwait flag for these AMD CPU
families like it was introduced with commit
f039b75471 (x86: Don't use MWAIT on AMD
Family 10)

Re-add the AMD families 10H/11H check and disable the mwait usage for
those.

31f4d870b0 x86: fix crash on cpu hotplug on pat-incapable machines
pat_disable() is __init, which means it goes away after booting is complete.
Unfortunately it is used by the hotplug code if the machine is not
pat-capable, causing a crash.

Fix by marking pat_disable() as __cpuinit.
