Enable NMI on all cpus in UV system and add an NMI handler
to dump_stack on each cpu.
By default on x86 all the cpus except the boot cpu have NMI
masked off. This patch enables NMI on all cpus in UV system
and adds an NMI handler to dump_stack on each cpu. This
way if a system hangs we can NMI the machine and get a
backtrace from all the cpus.
Version 2: Use x86_platform driver mechanism for nmi init, per
Ingo's suggestion.
Version 3: Clean up Ingo's nits.

CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86

this information is already available to userspace via generic

Causes crashes that have not been fixed + minimal utility -> remove.

Commit d1c84f79a6
leads to a regression when microcode_amd.c is compiled into the kernel.
It causes a big boot delay because the firmware is not available.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126267290920060
It also renders the reload sysfs attribute useless.
Fixing this is too intrusive for an -rc5 kernel.
Thus I'd like to restore the microcode loading behaviour of kernel
2.6.32.

In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an

With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed
"No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM
AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit:

> x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg
As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check
in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a
situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector
mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration
might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get
the "No IRQ handler" messages.
Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move
is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup
interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the
new cpu destination).

Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path
to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace.
Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the
callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because
we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before
retrieving the interrupted point.
We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the
captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.

This reverts commit 9f15226e75. It's just
wrong, and broke resume for Rafael even on a non-AMD CPU.
As Rafael says:
"... it causes microcode_init_cpu() to be called during resume even for
CPUs for which there's no microcode to apply. That, in turn, results
in executing request_firmware() (on Intel CPUs at least) which doesn't
work at this stage of resume (we have device interrupts disabled, I/O
devices are still suspended and so on).
If I'm not mistaken, the "if (uci->valid)" logic means "if that CPU is
known to us" , so before commit 9f15226e75 microcode_resume_cpu() was
called for all CPUs already in the system during suspend, which was
the right thing to do. The commit changed it so that the CPUs without
microcode to apply are now treated as "unknown", which is not quite
right.
The problem this commit attempted to solve has to be handled
differently."

Presently acpi-cpufreq will perform the MSR read on the first CPU in the
mask. That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU.
Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
rdmsr on the current CPU.
So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), which will perform the
call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).

set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.
Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).

* 'cpumask-cleanups' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus:
cpumask: rename tsk_cpumask to tsk_cpus_allowed
cpumask: don't recommend set_cpus_allowed hack in Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt
cpumask: avoid dereferencing struct cpumask
cpumask: convert drivers/idle/i7300_idle.c to cpumask_var_t
cpumask: use modern cpumask style in drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe.c
cpumask: avoid deprecated function in mm/slab.c
cpumask: use cpu_online in kernel/perf_event.c
Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.
So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.
This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.

The loop condition is fragile: we compare an unsigned value to zero, and
then decrement it by something larger than one in the loop. All the
callers should be passing in appropriately aligned buffer lengths, but
it's better to just not rely on it, and have some appropriate defensive
loop limits.

It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk
through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept
reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates.
Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack
walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace
processing.
This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered
by call-graph tracing timer events.
