a683027856 x86: mpparse: clean up code by introducing a few helper functions
Impact: cleanup

Refactor the MP-table parsing code via the introduction of the
following helper functions:

  skip_entry()
  smp_reserve_bootmem()
  check_irq_src()
  check_slot()

To simplify the code flow and to reduce the size of the
following oversized functions: smp_read_mpc(), smp_scan_config().

There should be no impact to functionality.

ce4e240c27 x86: add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() to x2apic flush tlb paths
Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers

Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence
we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths.

x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need
a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory
stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI.

Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

68a8ca593f x86: fix broken irq migration logic while cleaning up multiple vectors
Impact: fix spurious IRQs

During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous
irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt
starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after
modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches.

This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as
multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While
there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup
IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler
can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can
see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple
vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(),
other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local
cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled).

When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that
vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and
do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to
service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector
allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler.

This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors
at the same time.

[ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to
  the best of our knowledge it has never been seen.  The stable
  maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ]

0280f7c416 x86, x2apic: cleanup the IO-APIC level migration with interrupt-remapping
Impact: simplification

In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the
io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt
remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that
remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI.

With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification
(with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin
number).  Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from
the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be
edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE.
So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic
cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC.

With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying
the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE.
And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the
local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote
IRR bit in  the IO-APIC RTE.

This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping.

IO-APIC/LAPIC so that legacy interrupts can be delivered for the kexec'd kernel.

In the presence of interrupt-remapping, we need to change the

B mode.

To keep things simple during the crash, use virtual wire A mode
(for which we don't need to touch io-apic and interrupt-remapping tables).

9e8912e04e Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error bounds
In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of
the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another
way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize
properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.

The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).

However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.

So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly.  We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.

In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

a6a80e1d8c Fix potential fast PIT TSC calibration startup glitch
During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer)
to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC
calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow
the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value.

That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest
way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after
programming the new PIT counter value.  We do that by just reading the
counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

796216a57f x86: allow extend_brk users to reserve brk space
Impact: new interface; remove hard-coded limit

Add RESERVE_BRK(name, size) macro to reserve space in the brk
area.  This should be a conservative (ie, larger) estimate of
how much space might possibly be required from the brk area.
Any unused space will be freed, so there's no real downside
on making the reservation too large (within limits).

The name should be unique within a given file, and somewhat
descriptive.

The C definition of RESERVE_BRK() ends up being more complex than
one would expect to work around a cluster of gcc infelicities:

  The first attempt was to simply try putting __section(.brk_reservation)
  on a variable.  This doesn't work because it ends up making it a
  @progbits section, which gets actual space allocated in the vmlinux
  executable.

  The second attempt was to emit the space into a section using asm,
  but gcc doesn't allow arguments to be passed to file-level asm()
  statements, making it hard to pass in the size.

  The final attempt is to wrap the asm() in a function to allow
  it to have arguments, and put the function itself into the
  .discard section, which vmlinux*.lds drops entirely from the
  emitted vmlinux.

93dbda7cbc x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocations
Impact: new interface

Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations.  This is better than
using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
get used.

The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
something into it.

The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
(__brk_base to __brk_limit).  The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
up to __bss_stop.

Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
kernel memory pool.

Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
with a big kernel image and no PSE support).  So long as the system
has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

b9719a4d9c x86: make section delimiter symbols part of their section
Impact: cleanup

Move the symbols delimiting a section part of the section
(section relative) rather than absolute.  This avoids any
unexpected gaps between the section-start symbol and the first
data in the section, which could be caused by implicit
alignment of the section data.  It also makes the general
form of vmlinux_64.lds.S consistent with vmlinux_32.lds.S.

48f4c485c2 x86/centaur: merge 32 & 64 bit version
there should be no difference, except:

 * the 64bit variant now also initializes the padlock unit.
 * ->c_early_init() is executed again from ->c_init()
 * the 64bit fixups made into 32bit path.

Impact: fix debug warning

Jaswinder noticed that there is a warning about smp_processor_id()
in get_mtrr().

Fix it by wrapping the printout into a get/put_cpu() pair.
