It seems that a margin for stack overflow checking is added to
top of a kernel stack but is not added to IRQ and exception
stacks in stack_overflow_check(). Therefore, the overflows of
IRQ and exception stacks are always detected only after they
actually occurred and data corruption might occur due to them.
This patch adds the margin to top of IRQ and exception stacks
as well as a kernel stack to enhance reliability.

The node_distance function is not x86 64-bit specific. Having
the #ifdef around the extern function declaration and the
#define causes the default node_distance macro to be used in
asm-generic/topology.h. This also causes a sparse warning in
arch/x86/mm/numa.c when CONFIG_X86_64 is not set:
warning: symbol '__node_distance' was not declared. Should it be
static?
Remove the #ifdef to fix both issues.

We currently fail to build on CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MID=y and
CONFIG_X86_MRST unset.
We could build all the bits to make generic MID work if you
picked MID platform alone but that's really silly. Instead use
select and two variables.
This looks a bit daft right now but once we add a Medfield
selection it'll start to look a good deal more sensible.

The x86_64 kernel pushes the fake kernel stack in
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:FAKE_STACK_FRAME, and
rflags register in it does not conform to the specification.
Although Intel's manual[1] says bit 1 of it shall be set to 1,
this bit is cleared to 0 on pushing the fake stack.

If it is not on purpose, it is better to be fixed, because
it can lead some tools misunderstanding the stack frame. For example,
"crash" utility[2] actually detects it and warns you like
below:

When (no)bootmem finish operation, it pass pages to buddy

not protect pages, what is not what we want with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y.
To fix remove debug_pagealloc_enabled. That variable was
introduced by commit 12d6f21e "x86: do not PSE on

The current x86 event scheduler fails to resolve scheduling problems
of certain combinations of events and constraints. This happens if the
counter mask of such an event is not a subset of any other counter
mask of a constraint with an equal or higher weight, e.g. constraints
of the AMD family 15h pmu:
counter mask weight
amd_f15_PMC30 0x09 2 <--- overlapping counters
amd_f15_PMC20 0x07 3
amd_f15_PMC53 0x38 3
The scheduler does not find then an existing solution. Here is an
example:
event code counter failure possible solution
0x02E PMC[3,0] 0 3
0x043 PMC[2:0] 1 0
0x045 PMC[2:0] 2 1
0x046 PMC[2:0] FAIL 2
The event scheduler may not select the correct counter in the first
cycle because it needs to know which subsequent events will be
scheduled. It may fail to schedule the events then.
To solve this, we now save the scheduler state of events with
overlapping counter counstraints. If we fail to schedule the events
we rollback to those states and try to use another free counter.
Constraints with overlapping counters are marked with a new introduced
overlap flag. We set the overlap flag for such constraints to give the
scheduler a hint which events to select for counter rescheduling. The
EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macro can be used for this.
Care must be taken as the rescheduling algorithm is O(n!) which will
increase scheduling cycles for an over-commited system dramatically.
The number of such EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macros and its counter
masks must be kept at a minimum. Thus, the current stack is limited to
2 states to limit the number of loops the algorithm takes in the worst
case.
On systems with no overlapping-counter constraints, this
implementation does not increase the loop count compared to the
previous algorithm.
V2:
* Renamed redo -> overlap.
* Reimplementation using perf scheduling helper functions.
V3:
* Added WARN_ON_ONCE() if out of save states.
* Changed function interface of perf_sched_restore_state() to use bool
as return value.

This patch introduces x86 perf scheduler code helper functions. We
need this to later add more complex functionality to support
overlapping counter constraints (next patch).
The algorithm is modified so that the range of weight values is now
generated from the constraints. There shouldn't be other functional
changes.
With the helper functions the scheduler is controlled. There are
functions to initialize, traverse the event list, find unused counters
etc. The scheduler keeps its own state.
V3:
* Added macro for_each_set_bit_cont().
* Changed functions interfaces of perf_sched_find_counter() and
perf_sched_next_event() to use bool as return value.
* Added some comments to make code better understandable.
V4:
* Fix broken event assignment if weight of the first event is not
wmin (perf_sched_init()).

do_notify_resume() gets called with interrupts disabled on x86_32. This
is different from the x86_64 behavior, where interrupts are enabled at
the time.
Queries on lkml on this issue hasn't yielded any clear answer. Lets make
x86_32 behave the same as x86_64, unless there is a real reason to
maintain status quo.
Please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/27/130 for more

tsc=reliable boot parameter is supposed to skip all the TSC
stablility checks during boot time.
On a 8-socket system where we want to run an experiment with the
"tsc=reliable" boot option, TSC synchronization checks are not
getting skipped and marking the TSC as not stable.
Check for tsc_clocksource_reliable (which is set via
tsc=reliable or for platforms supporting synthetic TSC_RELIABLE
feature bit etc) and when set, skip the TSC synchronization
tests during boot.

system_call_after_swapgs doesn't really benefit from forcing
alignment from it - quite the opposite, native code needlessly
so far got a big NOP instruction inserted in front of it. Xen
being the only user of the separate entry point can well live
with the branch going to three bytes into a cache line.
The compatibility mode ptregs entry points for one can make use
of the GLOBAL() macro, and should be suitably aligned. Their
shared continuation point (ia32_ptregs_common) otoh doesn't need
to be global at all, but should continue to be properly aligned.

GET_THREAD_INFO() involves a memory read immediately followed by
an "sub" on the value read, in turn (in several cases)
immediately followed by a use of the calculated value as the
base address of a memory access. This combination of
instructions has a non-negligible potential for stalls.
In the system call entry point code, however, the (fixed) offset
of the stack pointer from the end of the stack is generally
known, and hence we can instead avoid the memory load and
subtract, and instead do the memory reference using %rsp as the
base register. To do so in a legible fashion, introduce a
THREAD_INFO() macro which, provided a register (generally %rsp)
and the known offset from the end of the stack, produces a
suitable memory access operand.
The patch attempts to only touch the fast paths (no auditing and
alike), but manages to do so only in the 64-bit entry point
case; the compatibility mode entry points have so many
interdependencies between their various branch targets that it
was necessary to also adjust the slow paths to eliminate the
risk of having missed some register dependency during code
analysis.

Previously these up to 32 entry points, consisting of all the
same code except for their very first instruction, consumed 0x70
bytes per instance. Just like for device interrupt entry points,
fold them together so that they all use a single instance of the
code after having pushed their vector indicator (resulting in
0x10 bytes per instance, to retain 16-byte alignment of the
individual entry points).

Testing for a return to ring 0 was necessary here solely because
of the branch out of ret_from_fork. That branch, however, can be
directed to retint_restore_args, and thus the test-and-branch
can be eliminated here.

Adds support for Numascale NumaChip large-SMP systems. It is
needed to enable the booting of more than ~168 cores.
v2:
- [Steffen] enumerate only accessible northbridges
- [Daniel] rediffed and validated against 3.1-rc10
v3:
- [Daniel] use x86_init core numbering override
- [Daniel] cleanups as per feedback
v4:
- [Daniel] use updated x86_cpuinit override
v5:
- drop disabling interrupts locally, as ISR write is atomic; drop delay
- added read-mostly annotations where appropriate
- require CONFIG_SMP, so drop conditional path
Workload tested on 96 cores/16 sockets.

Add an x86_init vector for handling inconsistent core numbering.
This is useful for multi-fabric platforms, such as Numascale
NumaConnect.
v2:
- use struct x86_cpuinit_ops
- provide default fall-back function to warn

Reduce the startup time for slave cpus.
Adds hooks for an arch-specific function for clock calibration.
These hooks are used on x86. If a newly started cpu has the
same phys_proc_id as a core already active, uses the TSC for the
delay loop and has a CONSTANT_TSC, use the already-calculated
value of loops_per_jiffy.
This patch reduces the time required to start slave cpus on a
4096 cpu system from: 465 sec OLD 62 sec NEW
This reduces boot time on a 4096p system by almost 7 minutes.
Nice...

Replace the bubble sort in sanitize_e820_map() with a call to
the generic kernel sort function to avoid pathological
performance with large maps.
On large (thousands of entries) E820 maps, the previous code
took minutes to run; with this change it's now milliseconds.

On x86_32 casting the unsigned int result of get_random_int() to
long may result in a negative value. On x86_32 the range of
mmap_rnd() therefore was -255 to 255. The 32bit mode on x86_64
used 0 to 255 as intended.
The bug was introduced by 675a081 ("x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.c")
in January 2008.

regardless of lazy_mmu mode
Fix an outstanding issue that has been reported since 2.6.37.
Under a heavy loaded machine processing "fork()" calls could
crash with:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f573fc8c

[<c06bfb71>] ? syscall_call+0x7/0xb
The problem is that in copy_page_range() we turn lazy mode on,
and then in swap_entry_free() we call swap_count_continued()
which ends up in:
map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;
and then later we touch *map.
Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually
set up the PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done
synchronously and ends up trying to dereference a page that has
not been set.
Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses
'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and doing the same in
kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem go
away.
Interestingly, commit b8bcfe997e4615 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy
mode in interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt
issue - but it went to far and did not consider this scenario.

Looks like on some Acer Aspire 1s with older bioses, reboot via bios
fails. It works on my machine, (with BIOS version 0.3310) but
not on some others (BIOS version 0.3309).
There's a log of problems at:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124136
This patch adds a different callback to the reboot quirk table,
to allow rebooting via keybaord controller.

Following is from Notes of section 11.5.3 of Intel processor
manual available at:
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/325384.pdf
For the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors, after the sequence of
steps given above has been executed, the cache lines containing the
code between the end of the WBINVD instruction and before the
MTRRS have actually been disabled may be retained in the cache
hierarchy. Here, to remove code from the cache completely, a
second WBINVD instruction must be executed after the MTRRs have
been disabled.
This patch provides resolution for that.
Ideally, I will like to make changes only for Pentium 4 and Xeon
processors. But, I am not finding easier way to do it.
And, extra wbinvd() instruction does not hurt much for other
processors.

Add instruction dump mode to insn_sanity tool for
checking decoder really decoded instructions.
This mode is enabled when passing double -v (-vv) to
insn_sanity. It is useful for who wants to check whether
the decoder can decode some instructions correctly.
e.g.
$ echo 0f 73 10 11 | ./insn_sanity -y -vv -i -
Instruction = {
.prefixes = {
.value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0},
.got = 1, .nbytes = 0},
.rex_prefix = {
.value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0},
.got = 1, .nbytes = 0},
.vex_prefix = {
.value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0},
.got = 1, .nbytes = 0},
.opcode = {
.value = 29455, bytes[] = {f, 73, 0, 0},
.got = 1, .nbytes = 2},
.modrm = {
.value = 16, bytes[] = {10, 0, 0, 0},
.got = 1, .nbytes = 1},
.sib = {
.value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0},
.got = 1, .nbytes = 0},
.displacement = {
.value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0},
.got = 1, .nbytes = 0},
.immediate1 = {
.value = 17, bytes[] = {11, 0, 0, 0},
.got = 1, .nbytes = 1},
