The patch renames xsave_cntxt_init() and __xsave_init() into
xstate_enable_boot_cpu() and xstate_enable() as this names are more
meaningful.
It also removes the duplicate xcr setup for the boot cpu.

As xsave also supports other than fpu features, it should be
initialized independently of the fpu. This patch moves this out of fpu
initialization.
There is also a lot of cross referencing between fpu and xsave
code. This patch reduces this by making xsave_cntxt_init() and
init_thread_xstate() static functions.
The patch moves the cpu_has_xsave check at the beginning of
xsave_init(). All other checks may removed then.

UV NMI callback's should not write stack dumps when a kdump is to be written.
When invoking the crash kernel to write a dump, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
uses NMI's to get all the cpu's to save their register context and halt.
But the NMI interrupt handler runs a callback list. This patch sets a flag
to prevent any of those callbacks from interfering with the halt of the cpu.
For UV, which currently has the only callback to which this is relevant, the
uv_handle_nmi() callback should not do dumping of stacks.
The 'in_crash_kexec' flag is defined as an extern in kdebug.h firstly
because x2apic_uv_x.c includes it. Secondly because some future callback
might need the flag to know that it should not enter the debugger.
(Such a scenario was in fact present in the 2.6.32 kernel, SuSE distribution,
where a call to kdb needed to be avoided.)

Commit e534c7c5f8d6 ("numa: x86_64: use generic percpu var
numa_node_id() implementation") broke numa systems that don't have ram
on node0 when MEMORY_HOTPLUG is enabled, because cpu_up() will call
cpu_to_node() before per_cpu(numa_node) is setup for APs.
When Node0 doesn't have RAM, on x86, cpus already round it to nearest
node with RAM in x86_cpu_to_node_map. and per_cpu(numa_node) is not set
up until in c_init for APs.
When later cpu_up() calling cpu_to_node() will get 0 again, and make it
online even there is no RAM on node0. so later all APs can not booted up,
and later will have panic.

boot_cpu_id is there for historical reasons and was renamed to
boot_cpu_physical_apicid in patch:
c70dcb7 x86: change boot_cpu_id to boot_cpu_physical_apicid
However, there are some remaining occurrences of boot_cpu_id that are
never touched in the kernel and thus its value is always 0.

My platform makes use of the null_legacy_pic choice and oopses when doing
a shutdown as the shutdown code goes through all the registered sysdevs
and calls their shutdown method which in my case poke on a non-existing
i8259. Imho the i8259 specific sysdev should only be registered if the
i8259 is actually there.
Do not register the sysdev function when the null_legacy_pic is used so
that the i8259 resume, suspend and shutdown functions are not called.

xsaveopt is a more optimized form of xsave specifically designed
for the context switch usage. xsaveopt doesn't save the state that's not
modified from the prior xrstor. And if a specific feature state gets
modified to the init state, then xsaveopt just updates the header bit
in the xsave memory layout without updating the corresponding memory
layout.

With xsaveopt, if a processor implementation discern that a processor state
component is in its initialized state it may modify the corresponding bit in
the xsave_hdr.xstate_bv as '0', with out modifying the corresponding memory
layout. Hence wHile presenting the xstate information to the user, we always
ensure that the memory layout of a feature will be in the init state if the
corresponding header bit is zero. This ensures the consistency and avoids the
condition of the user seeing some some stale state in the memory layout during
signal handling, debugging etc.

UVH_LB_BAU_SB_ACTIVATION_CONTROL and UVH_BAU_DATA_BROADCAST on

Found one x2apic system kexec loop test failed
when CONFIG_NMI_WATCHDOG=y (old) or CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y (current tip)
first kernel can kexec second kernel, but second kernel can not kexec third one.
it can be duplicated on another system with BIOS preenabled x2apic.
First kernel can not kexec second kernel.
It turns out, when kernel boot with pre-enabled x2apic, it will not execute
disable_local_APIC on shutdown path.
when init_apic_mappings() is called in setup_arch, it will skip setting of
apic_phys when x2apic_mode is set. ( x2apic_mode is much early check_x2apic())
Then later, disable_local_APIC() will bail out early because !apic_phys.
So check !x2apic_mode in x2apic_mode in disable_local_APIC with !apic_phys.
another solution could be updating init_apic_mappings() to set apic_phys even
for preenabled x2apic system. Actually even for x2apic system, that lapic
address is mapped already in early stage.
BTW: is there any x2apic preenabled system with apicid of boot cpu > 255?

commit 30a564be (x86, hpet: Restrict read back to affected ATI
chipset) restricted the workaround for the HPET bug to SMX00
chipsets. This was reasonable as those were the only ones against
which we ever got a bug report.
Stephan Wolf reported now that this patch breaks his IXP400 based
machine. Though it's confirmed to work on other IXP400 based systems.
To error out on the safe side, we force the HPET readback workaround
for all ATI SMbus class chipsets.

We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number
for the alternatives index. This consumes a padding field and so
doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to
create assembly errors on overflow no longer works. We can retain the
test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however.

fxsave/xsave doesn't touch all the bytes in the memory layout used by
these instructions. Specifically SW reserved (bytes 464..511) fields
in the fxsave frame and the reserved fields in the xsave header.
To present a clean context for the signal handling, just clear these fields
instead of clearing the complete fxsave/xsave memory layout, when we dump these
registers directly to the user signal frame.
Also avoid the call to second xrstor (which inits the state not passed
in the signal frame) in restore_user_xstate() if all the state has already
been restored by the first xrstor.
These changes improve the performance of signal handling(by ~3-5% as measured
by the lat_sig).

To support cache events we have reserved the low 6 bits in
hw_perf_event::config (which is a part of CCCR register
configuration actually).
These bits represent Replay Event mertic enumerated in
enum P4_PEBS_METRIC. The caller should not care about
which exact bits should be set and how -- the caller
just chooses one P4_PEBS_METRIC entity and puts it into
the config. The kernel will track it and set appropriate
additional MSR registers (metrics) when needed.
The reason for this redesign was the PEBS enable bit, which
should not be set until DS (and PEBS sampling) support will
be implemented properly.
TODO
====
- PEBS sampling (note it's tricky and works with _one_ counter only
so for HT machines it will be not that easy to handle both threads)
- tracking of PEBS registers state, a user might need to turn
PEBS off completely (ie no PEBS enable, no UOP_tag) but some
other event may need it, such events clashes and should not
run simultaneously, at moment we just don't support such events
- eventually export user space bits in separate header which will
allow user apps to configure raw events more conveniently.

Before we had a generic breakpoint layer, x86 used to send a
sigtrap for any debug event that happened in userspace,
except if it was caused by lazy dr7 switches.
Currently we only send such signal for single step or breakpoint
events.
However, there are three other kind of debug exceptions:
- debug register access detected: trigger an exception if the
next instruction touches the debug registers. We don't use
it.
- task switch, but we don't use tss.
- icebp/int01 trap. This instruction (0xf1) is undocumented and
generates an int 1 exception. Unlike single step through TF
flag, it doesn't set the single step origin of the exception
in dr6.
icebp then used to be reported in userspace using trap signals
but this have been incidentally broken with the new breakpoint
code. Reenable this. Since this is the only debug event that
doesn't set anything in dr6, this is all we have to check.
This fixes a regression in Wine where World Of Warcraft got broken
as it uses this for software protection checks purposes. And
probably other apps do.

IRQ stacks provide much better safety against unexpected stack use from
interrupts, at the minimal downside of slightly higher memory usage.
Enable irq stacks also for the default 8k stack on 32-bit kernels to
minimize the problem of stack overflows through interrupt activity.
This is what the 64-bit kernel and various other architectures already do.

Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
attribute.
Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
recognize the "ret" instruction.
These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.

Define WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and create keventd with max_active set to half of
it which means that keventd now can process upto WQ_MAX_ACTIVE / 2 - 1
works concurrently. Unless some combination can result in dependency
loop longer than max_active, deadlock won't happen and thus it's
unnecessary to check whether current_is_keventd() before trying to
schedule a work. Kill current_is_keventd().
(Lockdep annotations are broken. We need lock_map_acquire_read_norecurse())

Newer systems (x3950M2) can have 48 PHBs per chassis and 8
chassis, so bump the limits up and provide an explanation
of the requirements for each class.

Instruction breakpoints need to have a specific length of 0 to
be working. Bring this support but also take care the user is not
trying to set an unsupported length, like a range breakpoint for
example.
