552be871e6 x86: pass in cpu number to switch_to_new_gdt()
Impact: cleanup, prepare for xen boot fix.

Xen needs to call this function very early to setup the GDT and
per-cpu segments.  Remove the call to smp_processor_id() and just
pass in the cpu number.

2749ebe320 x86: UV fix uv_flush_send_and_wait()
Impact: fix possible tlb mis-flushing on UV

uv_flush_send_and_wait() should return a pointer if the broadcast
remote tlb shootdown requests fail. That causes the conventional IPI
method of shootdown to be used.

99fb4d349d x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs, fix
Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs

rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.

So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
support it.

ef5fa0ab24 x86: work around PAGE_KERNEL_WC not getting WC in iomap_atomic_prot_pfn.
In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that
gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in
question.  By swapping to PAGE_KERNEL_UC_MINUS, we can get the actual
behavior the caller wanted (WC if you can manage it, UC otherwise).

This recovers the 40% performance improvement of using WC in the DRM
to upload vertex data.

e1b4d11436 x86: use standard PIT frequency
the RDC and ELAN platforms use slighly different PIT clocks, resulting in
a timex.h hack that changes PIT_TICK_RATE during build time. But if a
tester enables any of these platform support .config options, the PIT
will be miscalibrated on standard PC platforms.

So use one frequency - in a subsequent patch we'll add a quirk to allow
x86 platforms to define different PIT frequencies.

[<c0218875>] do_page_fault+0x36f/0x88a

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.

This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.

union {
    struct {
        unsigned long private;
        struct address_space *mapping;
    };
    spinlock_t ptl;
    struct kmem_cache *slab;
    struct page *first_page;
};

Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.

But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.

The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.

It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

>	    x86: track memtype for RAM in page struct

This commit breaks mapping any RAM page through /dev/mem, as the
reserve_memtype() was not initializing the return attribute type and as such
corrupting the PTE entry that was setup with the return attribute type.

Because of this bug, application mapping this RAM page through /dev/mem
will die with "Corrupted page table at address xxxx" message in the kernel
log and also the kernel identity mapping which maps the underlying RAM
page gets converted to UC.

Fix this by initializing the return attribute type before calling
reserve_ram_pages_type()

on my modest config.

731f1872f4 x86: mtrr fix debug boot parameter
while looking at:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541

I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because
the code is processed much too early.

This patch:
 - Declares mtrr.show as early_param
 - Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt
   that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work
 - Declares mtrr_show as initdata

a1e46212a4 x86: fix page attribute corruption with cpa()
Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages

This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916df) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.

This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.

In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.

If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:

	__change_page_attr_set_clr()
		__change_page_attr()
			returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
			set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
		cpa_process_alias()
			uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
			which can potentially lead to changing the page
			attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
			mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!

This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.

Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

ace6c6c840 x86: make x86_32 use tlb_64.c, build fix, clean up X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES
Fix:

  arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:47: error: ‘CONFIG_X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES’ undeclared here (not in a function)

The CONFIG_X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES symbol is only defined on 64-bit,
because vsmp support is 64-bit only. Define it on 32-bit too - where it
will always be equal to X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES.

Also move the default of X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES (which is separate from the
more commonly used L1_CACHE_SHIFT kconfig symbol) from 128 bytes to
64 bytes.

 arch/x86/mm/srat_64.c: In function ‘acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init’:
 arch/x86/mm/srat_64.c:141: error: implicit declaration of function ‘get_uv_system_type’

 arch/x86/mm/srat_64.c:141: error: for each function it appears in.)

A couple of UV definitions were moved to asm/uv/uv.h, but srat_64.c did
not include that header. Add it.

55f4949f57 x86, mm: move tlb.c to arch/x86/mm/
Impact: cleanup

Now that it's unified, move the (SMP) TLB flushing code from arch/x86/kernel/
to arch/x86/mm/, where it belongs logically.

Conflicts:
	arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c
	arch/x86/kernel/tlb_32.c

Merge it here because both the cpumask changes and the ongoing percpu
work is touching the TLB code. The percpu changes take precedence, as
they eliminate tlb_32.c altogether.
