Apparently not all versions of glibc and utilities treat an empty
LC_ALL as nonexistent, causing error messages to be garbled. Instead,
explicitly unexport it from the environment.

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.
So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.
This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.

Not all awk implementations (including the default awk in Ubuntu 9.10)

There are a number of common Unix constructs like character ranges in
grep/sed/awk which don't work as expected with LC_COLLATE set to other
than C. Similarly, set LC_CTYPE and LC_NUMERIC to C to avoid other
nasty surprises.
In order to make sure these actually take effect we also have to
clear LC_ALL.

xsave_cntxt_init() does something like:
cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out what features FP/SSE/.. etc are supported
xsetbv(); // enable the features known to OS
cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out the size of the context for features enabled
Depending on what features get enabled in xsetbv(), value of the
cpuid.eax=0xd.ecx=0.ebx changes correspondingly (representing the
size of the context that is enabled).
As we don't have volatile keyword for native_cpuid(), gcc 4.1.2
optimizes away the second cpuid and the kernel continues to use
the cpuid information obtained before xsetbv(), ultimately leading to kernel
crash on processors supporting more state than the legacy FP/SSE.
Add "volatile" for native_cpuid().

Randy Dunlap reported the following build error:

ERROR: "msrs_free" [drivers/edac/amd64_edac_mod.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "msrs_alloc" [drivers/edac/amd64_edac_mod.ko] undefined!"
This is due to the fact that <arch/x86/lib/msr.c> is conditioned on
CONFIG_SMP and in the UP case we have only the stubs in the header.
Fork off SMP functionality into a new file (msr-smp.c) and build
msrs_{alloc,free} unconditionally.

register_chrdev() hardcodes registering 256 minors, presumably to
avoid breaking old drivers. However, we need to register enough
minors so that we have all possible CPUs.
checkpatch warns on this patch, but the patch is correct: NR_CPUS here
is a static *upper bound* on the *maximum CPU index* (not *number of
CPUs!*) and that is what we want.

The decompressors return error by calling a supplied error function, and/or
by returning an error return value. The initramfs code, however, fails to
check the exit code returned by the decompressor, and only checks the error
status set by calling the error function.
This patch adds a return code check and calls the error function.

The trivial malloc implementation used in the pre-boot environment by the
decompressors returns a bad pointer on failure (falling through after
calling error). This is doubly wrong - the callers expect malloc to
return NULL on failure, second the error function is intended to be
used by the decompressors to propagate errors to *their* callers. The
decompressors have no access to any state set by the error function.

The instruction attribute table generator fails when run by mawk
or original-awk:
$ mawk -f arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk \
arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt > /dev/null
Semantic error at 240: Second IMM error
$ echo $?
1
Line 240 contains "c8: ENTER Iw,Ib", which indicates that this
instruction has two immediate operands, the second of which is
one byte. The script loops through the immediate operands using
a for loop.
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee in awk that a for (variable
in array) loop will return the indices in increasing order.
Internally, both original-awk and mawk iterate over a hash table
for this purpose, and both implementations happen to produce the
index 2 before 1. The supposed second immediate operand is more
than one byte wide, producing the error.
So loop over the indices in increasing order instead. As a
side-effect, with mawk this means the silly two-entry hash table
never has to be built.

The commit f4780ca005404166cc40af77ef0e86132ab98a81 moves
swiotlb initialization before dma32_free_bootmem(). It's
supposed to fix a bug that the commit
75f1cdf1dda92cae037ec848ae63690d91913eac introduced, we
initialize SWIOTLB right after dma32_free_bootmem so we wrongly
steal memory area allocated for GART with broken BIOS earlier.
However, the above commit introduced another problem, which
likely breaks machines with huge amount of memory. Such a box
use the majority of DMA32_ZONE so there is no memory for
swiotlb.
With this patch, the x86 IOMMU initialization sequence are:
1. We set swiotlb to 1 in the case of (max_pfn > MAX_DMA32_PFN
&& !no_iommu). If swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option,
we go to the step 3 and finish (we don't try to detect IOMMUs).
2. We call the detection functions of all the IOMMUs. The
detection function sets x86_init.iommu.iommu_init to the IOMMU
initialization function (so we can avoid calling the
initialization functions of all the IOMMUs needlessly).
3. We initialize swiotlb (and set dma_ops to swiotlb_dma_ops) if
swiotlb is set to 1.
4. If the IOMMU initialization function doesn't need swiotlb
(e.g. the initialization is sucessful) then sets swiotlb to zero.
5. If we find that swiotlb is set to zero, we free swiotlb
resource.

This adds a new category of symbols to the relocs program: symbols
which are known to be relative, even though the linker emits them as
absolute; this is the case for symbols that live in the linker script,
which currently applies to _end.
Unfortunately the previous workaround of putting _end in its own empty
section was defeated by newer binutils, which remove empty sections
completely.
This patch also changes the symbol matching to use regular expressions
instead of hardcoded C for specific patterns.
This is a decidedly non-minimal patch: a modified version of the
relocs program is used as part of the Syslinux build, and this is
basically a backport to Linux of some of those changes; they have
thus been well tested.

The MSR driver would compute the values for cpu and c at declaration,
and then again in the body of the function. This isn't merely
redundant, but unsafe, since cpu might not refer to a valid CPU at
that point.
Remove the unnecessary and dangerous references in the declarations.
This code now matches the equivalent code in the CPUID driver.

Add check if APIC is not disabled since thermal
monitoring depends on it. As only apic gets disabled
we should not try to install "thermal monitor" vector,
print out that thermal monitoring is enabled and etc...
Note that "Intel Correct Machine Check Interrupts" already
has such a check.
Also I decided to not add cpu_has_apic check into
mcheck_intel_therm_init since even if it'll call apic_read on
disabled apic -- it's safe here and allow us to save a few code
bytes.

This fixes the following breakage of the commit
75f1cdf1dda92cae037ec848ae63690d91913eac:
- GART systems that don't AGP with broken BIOS and more than 4GB
memory are forced to use swiotlb. They can allocate aperture by
hand and use GART.
- GART systems without GAP must disable GART on shutdown.
- swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option,
gart_iommu_hole_init() is not called, so we disable GART
early_gart_iommu_check().

The reason of removal, "replaced by allowdac and no dac
combination" is incorrect. There is no way to do the same thing
with "allowdac" and "nodac" combination.
The usedac option enables us to stop via_no_dac() setting
forbid_dac to 1. That is, someone who uses VIA bridges can use
DAC with this option even if some of VIA bridges seem to be

In nvram_write, first of all, correctly handle the case where the file
pointer is already beyond the end; we should return EOF in that case.
Second, make the logic a bit more explicit so that gcc can statically
prove that the copy_from_user() is safe. Once the condition of the
beyond-end filepointer is eliminated, the copy is safe but gcc can't
prove it, causing build failures for i386 allyesconfig.
Third, eliminate the entirely superfluous variable "len", and just use
the passed-in variable "count" instead.

When there are a large number of processors in a system, there
is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console.
It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the
console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take
about 84 minutes to clear the serial port.
This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages
which contain no additional information. Much of this information
is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs. Some of the messages
are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so
dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to
a problem.

Add documentation for kernel/bootloader_type and
kernel/bootloader_version to sysctl/kernel.txt. This should really
have been done a long time ago.

The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.
This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
msr structs which are used on the respective cores.
Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
the callers of the MSR accessors.

Jens found the following crash/regression:
[ 0.000000] found SMP MP-table at [ffff8800000fdd80] fdd80
[ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 0-fff BIOS data page
and
[ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 6000-7fff TRAMPOLINE
and bisected it to b24c2a9 ("x86: Move find_smp_config()
earlier and avoid bootmem usage").
It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable,
without reserving it.
So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of
hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.

The per_cpu cpuid4_info shared_map can contain stale data when CPUs are added
and removed.
The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a
CPU that has had siblings previously removed.
This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before
adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of
the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache
maps when a cpu is added.

The arg should be in %eax, but that is clobbered by the return value
of clone. The function pointer can be in any register. Also, don't
push args onto the stack, since regparm(3) is the normal calling
convention now.
