Clean up the hypervisor layer and the hypervisor drivers, using an ops
structure instead of an enumeration with if statements.
The identity of the hypervisor, if needed, can be tested by testing
the pointer value in x86_hyper.
The MS-HyperV private state is moved into a normal global variable
(it's per-system state, not per-CPU state). Being a normal bss
variable, it will be left at all zero on non-HyperV platforms, and so
can generally be tested for HyperV-specific features without
additional qualification.

This should have been GPLv2 only, we cut and pasted from the wrong file
originally, sorry.
Also removed some unneeded boilerplate license code, we all know where
to find the GPLv2, and that there's no warranty as that is implicit from

This patch integrates HyperV detection within the framework currently
used by VmWare. With this patch, we can avoid having to replicate the
HyperV detection code in each of the Microsoft HyperV drivers.
Reworked and tweaked by Greg K-H to build properly.

Currently, we're allocating L3 cache info and calculating indices for

Add a struct representing L3 cache attributes (subcache sizes and
indices count) and move the respective members out of _cpuid4_info.
Also, stash the struct pci_dev ptr into the struct simplifying the code
even more.
There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch except
slightly slimming the _cpuid4_info per-cpu vars.

The L3 cache index disable feature of AMD CPUs has to be disabled if the
kernel is running as guest on top of a hypervisor because northbridge
devices are not available to the guest. Currently, this fixes a boot
crash on top of Xen. In the future this will become an issue on KVM as
well.
Check if northbridge devices are present and do not enable the feature
if there are none.

Starting with F10h, revE, AMD processors add support for a dynamic
core boosting feature called Core Performance Boost. When a specific
condition is present, a subset of the cores on a system are boosted
beyond their P0 operating frequency to speed up the performance of
single-threaded applications.
In the normal case, the system comes out of reset with core boosting
enabled. This patch adds a sysfs knob with which core boosting can be
switched on or off for benchmarking purposes.
While at it, make the CPB code hotplug-aware so that taking cores
offline wouldn't interfere with boosting the remaining online cores.
Furthermore, add cpu_online_mask hotplug protection as suggested by
Andrew.
Finally, cleanup the driver init codepath and update copyrights.

By semi-popular demand, this adds the Core Performance Boost feature
flag to /proc/cpuinfo. Possible use case for this is userspace tools
like cpufreq-aperf, for example, so that they don't have to jump through
hoops of accessing "/dev/cpu/%d/cpuid" in order to check for CPB hw
support, or call cpuid from userspace.

In commit 9df93939b735 ("ext3: Use bitops to read/modify
EXT3_I(inode)->i_state") ext3 changed its internal 'i_state' variable to
use bitops for its state handling. However, unline the same ext4
change, it didn't actually change the name of the field when it changed
the semantics of it.
As a result, an old use of 'i_state' remained in fs/ext3/ialloc.c that
initialized the field to EXT3_STATE_NEW. And that does not work
_at_all_ when we're now working with individually named bits rather than
values that get masked. So the code tried to mark the state to be new,
but in actual fact set the field to EXT3_STATE_JDATA. Which makes no
sense at all, and screws up all the code that checks whether the inode
was newly allocated.
In particular, it made the xattr code unhappy, and caused various random
behavior, like apparently
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577911
So fix the initialization, and rename the field to match ext4 so that we
don't have this happen again.

Official patch to fix the r8169 frame length check error.
Based on this initial thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=126202972828626&w=1
This is the official patch to fix the frame length problems in the r8169
driver. As noted in the previous thread, while this patch incurs a performance
hit on the driver, its possible to improve performance dynamically by updating
the mtu and rx_copybreak values at runtime to return performance to what it was
for those NICS which are unaffected by the ideosyncracy (if there are any).
Summary:
A while back Eric submitted a patch for r8169 in which the proper
allocated frame size was written to RXMaxSize to prevent the NIC from dmaing too
much data. This was done in commit fdd7b4c3302c93f6833e338903ea77245eb510b4. A
long time prior to that however, Francois posted
126fa4b9ca5d9d7cb7d46f779ad3bd3631ca387c, which expiclitly disabled the MaxSize
setting due to the fact that the hardware behaved in odd ways when overlong
frames were received on NIC's supported by this driver. This was mentioned in a
security conference recently:
http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html
It seems that if we can't enable frame size filtering, then, as Eric correctly
noticed, we can find ourselves DMA-ing too much data to a buffer, causing
corruption. As a result is seems that we are forced to allocate a frame which
is ready to handle a maximally sized receive.
This obviously has performance issues with it, so to mitigate that issue, this
patch does two things:
1) Raises the copybreak value to the frame allocation size, which should force
appropriately sized packets to get allocated on rx, rather than a full new 16k
buffer.
2) This patch only disables frame filtering initially (i.e., during the NIC
open), changing the MTU results in ring buffer allocation of a size in relation
to the new mtu (along with a warning indicating that this is dangerous).
Because of item (2), individuals who can't cope with the performance hit (or can
otherwise filter frames to prevent the bug), or who have hardware they are sure
is unaffected by this issue, can manually lower the copybreak and reset the mtu
such that performance is restored easily.

For 32-bit processes, we save the full 64-bits of the regs in pt_regs.
But unlike when the userspace actually does load and store
instructions, the top 32-bits don't get automatically truncated by the
cpu in kernel mode (because the kernel doesn't execute with PSTATE_AM
address masking enabled).
So we have to do it by hand.

Add missing newline to dev_warn() message string. This is more of an issue
with older kernels that don't automatically add a newline if it was missing
from the end of the previous line.

If the device contains on old logfs image and the journal is moved to
segment that have never been used by the current logfs and not all
journal segments are erased before the next mount, the old content can
confuse mount code. To prevent this, always erase the new journal
segments.

This avoids an infinite loop in free_early_partial().
Add a warning to free_early_partial() to catch future problems.
-v5: put back start > end back into WARN_ONCE()
-v6: use one line for warning, suggested by Linus
-v7: more tests
-v8: remove the function name as suggested by Johannes
WARN_ONCE() will print out that function name.

When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or
in a more compact fashion.
Example:
Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57
Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56
The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned.
Last page could be shared with other users.
When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page
could be freed and we could corrupt other data.
code segment in free_init_pages():
| for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) {
| ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
| init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr));
| memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)),
| POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE);
| free_page(addr);
| totalram_pages++;
| }
last half page could be used as one whole free page.
So page align the boundaries.
-v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to
Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page.
we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could
confuse decompressor.
-v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes.
-v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes.
We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN
Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned
in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it
to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes.
-v6: remove one WARN()
We need to align beginning in free_init_pages()
do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes
