They seem to have been due to AMD errata 63/122; the fix is to disable
TLB flush filtering in SMP configurations.

Several implementations were essentialy a common piece of C code using
the cmpxchg() macro. Put the implementation in one spot that everyone
can share, and convert sparc64 over to using this.
Alpha is the lone arch-specific implementation, which codes up a
special fast path for the common case in order to avoid GP reloading
which a pure C version would require.

Commit 66759a01ad introduced the fix for
time ticking too fast on some boards by disabling one of the doubly
connected timer pins on ATI boards.
However, it ends up being _much_ too broad a brush, and that just makes
some other ATI boards not work at all since they now have no timer
source.
So disable the automatic ATI southbridge detection, and just rely on
people who see this problem disabling it by hand with the option
"disable_timer_pin_1" on the kernel command line.
Maybe somebody can figure out the proper tests at a later date.

Pavel Emelianov and Kirill Korotaev observe that fs and arch users of
security_vm_enough_memory tend to forget to vm_unacct_memory when a
failure occurs further down (typically in setup_arg_pages variants).
These are all users of insert_vm_struct, and that reservation will only
be unaccounted on exit if the vma is marked VM_ACCOUNT: which in some
cases it is (hidden inside VM_STACK_FLAGS) and in some cases it isn't.
So x86_64 32-bit and ppc64 vDSO ELFs have been leaking memory into
Committed_AS each time they're run. But don't add VM_ACCOUNT to them,
it's inappropriate to reserve against the very unlikely case that gdb
be used to COW a vDSO page - we ought to do something about that in
do_wp_page, but there are yet other inconsistencies to be resolved.
The safe and economical way to fix this is to let insert_vm_struct do
the security_vm_enough_memory check when it finds VM_ACCOUNT is set.
And the MIPS irix_brk has been calling security_vm_enough_memory before
calling do_brk which repeats it, doubly accounting and so also leaking.
Remove that, and all the fs and arch calls to security_vm_enough_memory:
give it a less misleading name later on.

Like previously done for i386, get the x86_64 watchdog tick calculation
into a state where it can also be used on CPUs with frequencies beyond
4GHz.

This is probably still not quite correct, but seems to be
the best solution so far.

This is the same patch that went into i386 just before 2.6.13
came out. I still can't build 64-bit user apps, so I tested
with program (see below) in 32-bit mode on 64-bit kernel:
Before:
$ fpsig
handler: nr = 8, si = 0x0804bc90, vuc = 0x0804bd10
handler: altstack is at 0x0804b000, ebp = 0x0804bc7c
handler: si_signo = 8, si_errno = 0, si_code = 0 [unknown]
handler: fpu cwd = 0xb40, fpu swd = 0xbaa0
handler: i387 unmasked precision exception, rounded up
After:
$ fpsig
handler: nr = 8, si = 0x0804bc90, vuc = 0x0804bd10
handler: altstack is at 0x0804b000, ebp = 0x0804bc7c
handler: si_signo = 8, si_errno = 0, si_code = 6 [inexact result]
handler: fpu cwd = 0xb40, fpu swd = 0xbaa0
handler: i387 unmasked precision exception, rounded up

The x86_64 nmi code is missing a newline in one of its messages.
I added a space before the CPU id for readability and killed the trailing
space on the previous line as well.

Rather than blindly re-enabling interrupts in oops_end(), save their state
in oope_begin() and then restore that state.

The only difference was the inline assembly, so move that into
asm/msr.h and merge with the i386 version.
This adds some missing sysfs support code to x86-64.

Being the foundation for reliable stack unwinding, this fixes CFI unwind
annotations in many low-level x86_64 routines, plus a config option
(available to all architectures, and also present in the previously sent
patch adding such annotations to i386 code) to enable them separatly
rather than only along with adding full debug information.
