9e8b6d90ac arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/p4.c: cleanups
SMP, the machine check exception dispatches all logical processors within a
physical package to the machine-check exception handler, so the printk
within each handler outputs concurrently and makes the output unreadable.
Refer to Intel system programming guide Part 1 Section 7.8.5

8b2cb7a8f5 x86: 32-bit EFI runtime service support: fixes in sync with 64-bit support
support according to fixes of x86_64 support.

- Delete efi_rt_lock because it is used during system early boot,
  before SMP is initialized.

- Change local_flush_tlb() to __flush_tlb_all() to flush global page
  mapping.

- Clean up includes.

- Revise Kconfig description.

- Enable noefi kernel parameter on i386.

bde6f5f59c x86: voluntary leave_mm before entering ACPI C3
Aviod TLB flush IPIs during C3 states by voluntary leave_mm()
before entering C3.

The performance impact of TLB flush on C3 should not be significant with
respect to C3 wakeup latency. Also, CPUs tend to flush TLB in hardware while in
C3 anyways.

On a 8 logical CPU system, running make -j2, the number of tlbflush IPIs goes
down from 40 per second to ~ 0. Total number of interrupts during the run
of this workload was ~1200 per second, which makes it ~3% savings in wakeups.

There was no measurable performance or power impact however.

9f8daccaa0 PCI: remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation
increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node systems.  The kernel
currently attempts by default to allocate memory for all PCI expansion
ROMs so there has also been an increasing number of PCI memory
allocation failures seen on these systems.  This occurs because the BIOS
either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource for all the
expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI memory resource for
expansion ROMs but provides the space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned
P2P non-prefetch windows.

The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign when related
to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves but in some cases they
can occur when attempting to allocate space for more critical BARs.
This can happen when a successful expansion ROM allocation request
consumes memory resource that was intended for a non-ROM BAR.  We have
seen this happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a P2P
bridge where successful memory allocation for an expansion ROM BAR on
device behind the bridge consumed memory that was intended for a non-ROM
BAR on the P2P bridge.  In all cases the allocation failure messages can
be very confusing for users.

This patch addresses the issue by changing the kernel default behavior
so that expansion ROM memory allocations are no longer attempted by
default when the BIOS has not assigned a specific address range to the
expansion ROM BAR.  This was done by changing the 'pci=rom' boot option
behavior for BIOS unassigned expansion ROMs to actually match it's
current kernel-parameters.txt description which already implies "off" by
default. Behavior for BIOS assigned expansion ROMs implemented in
pcibios_assign_resources() [arch/x86/pci/i386.c] is unchanged.

3b095a04e7 x86: cleanup i387_32.c according to checkpatch
clean up checkpatch warnings/errors on i387_32.c

The old and new i387_32.s (asm listings) were checked with diff to
be identical so it's safe to apply this patch.

c6b4832432 x86, kexec: force x86 arches to boot kdump kernels on boot cpu
Recently a kdump bug was discovered in which a system would hang inside
calibrate_delay during the booting of the kdump kernel.  This was caused
by the fact that the jiffies counter was not being incremented during
timer calibration.  The root cause of this problem was found to be a
bios misconfiguration of the hypertransport bus.  On system affected by
this hang, the bios had assigned APIC ids which used extended apic bits
(more than the nominal 4 bit ids's), but failed to configure bit 17 of
the hypertransport transaction config register, which indicated that the
mask for the destination field of interrupt packets accross the ht bus
(see section 3.3.9 of
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26094.PDF).
If a crash occurs on a cpu with an APIC id that extends beyond 4 bits,
it will not recieve interrupts during the kdump kernel boot, and this
hang will be the result.  The fix is to add this patch, whcih add an
early pci quirk check, to forcibly enable this bit in the httcfg
register.  This enables all cpus on a system to receive interrupts, and
allows kdump kernel bootup to procede normally.

e94271017f x86: adjust enable_NMI_through_LVT0()
Its previous use in a call to on_each_cpu() was pointless, as at the
time that code gets executed only one CPU is online. Further, the
function can be __cpuinit, and for this to work without
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU setup_nmi() must also get an attribute (this one
can even be __init; on 64-bits check_timer() also was lacking that
attribute).

cae4595764 x86: make __{save,restore}_processor_state static
.. allowing to remove their declarations from a global include file
(the symbols don't exist for anything but x86).

Likewise for 64-bits' fix_processor_context(), just that that one was
properly declared in an arch-specific header.

22f5991c85 x86-64: honor notify_die() returning NOTIFY_STOP
This requires making die() return a value, making its callers honor
this (and be prepared that it may return), and making oops_end() have
two additional parameters.
