This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.
The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).
The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.
The new implementation now returns the right value.

Yanmin Zhang reported that SD_PREFER_LOCAL induces an order of
magnitude increase in select_task_rq_fair() overhead while
running heavy wakeup benchmarks (tbench and vmark).
Since SD_BALANCE_WAKE is off at node level, turn SD_PREFER_LOCAL
off as well pending further investigation.

When sending a NMI_VECTOR IPI using the UV_HUB_IPI_INT register,
we need to ensure the delivery mode field of that register has
NMI delivery selected.
This makes those IPIs true NMIs, instead of flat IPIs. It
matters to reboot sequences and KGDB, both of which use NMI
IPIs.

Create an inline function to extract the pnode from a global
physical address and then convert the broadcast assist unit to
use the newly created uv_gpa_to_pnode function.
The open-coded code was wrong as well - it might explain a
few of our unexplained bau hangs.

Yanmin reported that both tbench and hackbench were significantly
hurt by trying to keep tasks local on these domains, esp on small
cache machines.
So disable it in order to promote spreading outside of the cache
domains.

Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled,
and debugged it back to edx register corruption.
For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special
calling sequences to make them more efficient. With the more
recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations
this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_
macros.
This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left
edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in
__PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use.

There is an erratum for IOMMU hardware which documents
undefined behavior when forwarding SMI requests from
peripherals and the DTE of that peripheral has a sysmgt
value of 01b. This problem caused weird IO_PAGE_FAULTS in my
case.
This patch implements the suggested workaround for that
erratum into the AMD IOMMU driver. The erratum is
documented with number 63.

Make decoding of MCEs happen only on AMD hardware by registering a
non-default callback only on CPU families which support it.
While looking at the interaction of decode_mce() with the other MCE
code i also noticed a few other things and made the following
cleanups/fixes:
- Fixed the mce_decode() weak alias - a weak alias is really not
good here, it should be a proper callback. A weak alias will be
overriden if a piece of code is built into the kernel - not
good, obviously.
- The patch initializes the callback on AMD family 10h and 11h.
- Added the more correct fallback printk of:
No support for human readable MCE decoding on this CPU type.
Transcribe the message and run it through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode.
On CPUs that dont have a decoder.
- Made the surrounding code more readable.
Note that the callback allows us to have a default fallback -
without having to check the CPU versions during the printout
itself. When an EDAC module registers itself, it can install the
decode-print function.
(there's no unregister needed as this is core code.)
version -v2 by Borislav Petkov:
- add K8 to the set of supported CPUs
- always build in edac_mce_amd since we use an early_initcall now
- fix checkpatch warnings

Just like ip_fast_csum, the assembly snippet in csum_ipv6_magic needs a
memory clobber, as it is only passed the address of the buffer, not a
memory reference to the buffer itself.
This caused failures in Hurd's pfinetv4 when we tried to compile it with
gcc-4.3 (bogus checksums).

cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code.
cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there,
but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking.
This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
all modern systems.
Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems
are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)
