When reserving space for the hypervisor the Xen paravirt backend adds
an extra two pages (this was carried forward from the 2.6.18-xen tree
which had them "for safety"). Depending on various CONFIG options this
can cause the boot time fixmaps to span multiple PMDs which is not
supported and triggers a WARN in early_ioremap_init().
This was exposed by 2216d199b1430d1c0affb1498a9ebdbd9c0de439 which
moved the dmi table parsing earlier.
x86: fix CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=y
The bad_bios_dmi_table() quirk never triggered because we do DMI setup
too late. Move it a bit earlier.
There is no real reason to reserve these two extra pages and the
fixmap already incorporates FIX_HOLE which serves the same
purpose. None of the other callers of reserve_top_address do this.

When pinning/unpinning a pagetable with split pte locks, we can end up
holding multiple pte locks at once (we need to hold the locks while
there's a pending batched hypercall affecting the pte page). Because
all the pte locks are in the same lock class, lockdep thinks that
we're potentially taking a lock recursively.
This warning is spurious because we always take the pte locks while
holding mm->page_table_lock. lockdep now has spin_lock_nest_lock to
express this kind of dominant lock use, so use it here so that lockdep
knows what's going on.

There are a couple of Xen features which rely on directly accessing
per-cpu data via a segment register, which is not yet available on
x86-64. In the meantime, just disable direct access to the vcpu info
structure; this leaves some of the code as dead, but it will come to
life in time, and the warnings are suppressed.

Impact: Functional TSC is marked unstable on AMD family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs.
This would be wrong because for those CPUs "invariant TSC" means:
"The TSC counts at the same rate in all P-states, all C states, S0,
or S1"
(See "Processor BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guides" for those CPUs.)

Impact: hang which happens across CPU offline/online on AMD C1E systems.
When a CPU goes offline then the corresponding bit in the broadcast
mask is cleared. For AMD C1E enabled CPUs we do not reenable the
broadcast when the CPU comes online again as we do not clear the
corresponding bit in the c1e_mask, which keeps track which CPUs
have been switched to broadcast already. So on those !$@#& machines
we never switch back to broadcasting after a CPU offline/online cycle.
Clear the bit when the CPU plays dead.

Such a crash is possible if the CPU in this system is a 64-bit
processor which doesn't support NX (ie, old Intel P4 -based64-bit
processors).
Certainly, if we support such processors, then we should start with
_PAGE_NX initially clear in __supported_pte_flags, and then set it once
we've established that the processor does indeed support NX. That will
prevent early_ioremap - or anything else - from trying to set it.
The simple fix is to simply call check_efer() earlier.

On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the
default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do
look better.
So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the
CONFIG_X86_64 thing.
The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just
have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for
them.

Krzysztof Helt found MTRR is not detected on k6-2
root cause:
we moved mtrr_bp_init() early for mtrr trimming,
and in early_detect we only read the CPU capability from cpuid,
so some cpu doesn't have that bit in cpuid.
So we need to add early_init_xxxx to preset those bit before mtrr_bp_init
for those earlier cpus.

We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because:
1) some HPETs are 32bit only
2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide
The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did
not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and
64 bit.
This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents
code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit
unawareness.
unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit.
but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless
loops.

The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal,
and doesn't include all possible CPUID words. In particular, it
doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta),
3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered). Zero them out, so we
can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this
allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and
therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.

The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks,

The C1E idle patches made this prominent on AMD/RS690 chipsets,
where the HPET runs with 25MHz. Set it to 5us which seems to be

machines. We have a further sanity check now in the clock events,
which increases the delta when it is not sufficient.

When calibration against PIT fails, the warning that we print is misleading.
In a virtualized environment the VM may get descheduled while calibration
or, the check in PIT calibration may fail due to other virtualization

which may not be the case. Change that to something proper.

The TSC calibration function is still very complicated, but this makes

helper function of its own.

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59
"x86: merge tsc calibration".
The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.
Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.
On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
with SMI detection shows better results.
According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
calibration method.
The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
either/or decision.
1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
frequency
2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.
3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
based calibration
4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
decide after all iterations finished.
5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
makes sense.
The implementation does the reference calibration based on
HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
resulting calibration values.
Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
(affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

Breaking lines due to some imaginary problem with a long line length is
often stupid and wrong, but never more so when it splits a string that
is printed out into multiple lines. This really ended up making it much
harder to find where some error strings were printed out, because a
simple 'grep' didn't work.
I'm sure there is tons more of this particular idiocy hiding in other
places, but this particular case hit me once more last week. So fix it.

BAR, v3"
This reverts commit a2bd7274b47124d2fc4dfdb8c0591f545ba749dd.
It wasn't really right to begin with (there's a better fix for the
problem with e820 reservations clashing with PCI BAR's pending), but it
also actually causes more regressions, so it should be reverted even
before the better fix is finalized.
Rafael reports that this commit broke AHCI detection, and thus causes
the kernel to not boot on his quad core test box.

Enable some option commonly used by testers in defconfig, including
some very common device drivers and network boot support. defconfig
is still not meant to be a kitchen-sink configuration.

Return the correct return value when the CPUID driver partially
completes a request (we should return the number of bytes actually
read or written, instead of the error code.)
