Mike Travis 9f0e8d0400 x86: convert cpumask_of_cpu macro to allocated array
* Here is a simple patch to use an allocated array of cpumasks to
    represent cpumask_of_cpu() instead of constructing one on the stack.
    It's based on the Kconfig option "HAVE_CPUMASK_OF_CPU_MAP" which is
    currently only set for x86_64 SMP.  Otherwise the the existing
    cpumask_of_cpu() is used but has been changed to produce an lvalue
    so a pointer to it can be used.

Suresh Siddha 6ec6e0d9f2 srat, x86: add support for nodes spanning other nodes
For example, If the physical address layout on a two node system with 8 GB
memory is something like:
node 0: 0-2GB, 4-6GB
node 1: 2-4GB, 6-8GB

Current kernels fail to boot/detect this NUMA topology.

ACPI SRAT tables can expose such a topology which needs to be supported.

Pavel Machek e44b7b7525 x86: move suspend wakeup code to C
Move wakeup code to .c, so that video mode setting code can be shared
between boot and wakeup. Remove nasty assembly code in 64-bit case by
re-using trampoline code. Stack setup was fixed to clear high 16bits
of %esp, maybe that fixes some machines.

.c code sharing and morse code was done H. Peter Anvin, Sam Ravnborg
reviewed kbuild related stuff, and it seems okay to him. Rafael did
some cleanups.

[rjw:
* Made the patch stop breaking compilation on x86-32
* Added arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.h
* Got rid of compiler warnings in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.c
* Fixed 32-bit compilation on x86-64 systems

Randy Dunlap f408b43cee x86: fix VisualWS and Voyager kexec build failures
without this patch:

VOYAGER:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `crash_kexec':
(.text+0x28588): undefined reference to `machine_crash_shutdown'

VISWS:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `crash_kexec':
/next-20080401/kernel/kexec.c:1074: undefined reference to `machine_crash_shutdown'
make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

because arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c isn't built since CONFIG_X86_BIOS_REBOOT=n,
so machine_crash_shutdown() isn't available.

This patch does seem a small bit odd since the KEXEC help text says that
kexec is independent of the system firmware.

venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com 2e5d9c857d x86: PAT infrastructure patch
Sets up pat_init() infrastructure.

PAT MSR has following setting.
	PAT
	|PCD
	||PWT
	|||
	000 WB		_PAGE_CACHE_WB
	001 WC		_PAGE_CACHE_WC
	010 UC-		_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS
	011 UC		_PAGE_CACHE_UC

We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC.
UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem
users(X).

reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free
mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and
not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result
of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT.

pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr
are same.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 4fe29a8564 x86: use specialized routine for setup per-cpu area
We use the same routing as x86_64, moved now to setup.c.
Just with a few ifdefs inside.
Note that this routing uses prefill_possible_map().
It has the very nice side effect of allowing hotplugging of
cpus that are marked as present but disabled by acpi bios.

X86_HT is used for hyperthreading or multicore on 32-bit.
The X86_HT on 64-bit is different from 32-bit, it means hyperthreading only.
And X86_HT is not used on 64-bit except from cpu/initel_cacheinfo.c.

Turn X86_HT on when X86_64 and SMP are enabled.

Thomas Gleixner 985a34bd75 x86: remove quicklists
quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86,
as documented at:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991

the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose
cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for
anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's
the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was
supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated
by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as:

  Quicklists:    1194304 kB

given how much trouble this code has caused historically,
and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86
(years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.

[ any performance benefits of caching constructed pgds should
  be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page
  allocator), while still allowing constructed pages to be
  allocated by other workloads. ]

Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch/<arch>/Kconfig file for relevant

Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean.

Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies.

Linus Torvalds 2c020a99e0 Mark CC_STACKPROTECTOR as being BROKEN
It's always been broken, but recent fixes actually made it do something,
and now the brokenness shows up as the resulting kernel simply not
working at all.

So it used to be that you could enable this config option, and it just
didn't do anything.  Now we'd better stop people from enabling it by
mistake, since it _does_ do something, but does it so badly as to be
unusable.

Code to actually make it work is pending, but incomplete and won't be
merged into 2.6.25 in any case.
