af2b1c609f x86: add memory barriers to wrmsr
wrmsr is a special instruction which can have arbitrary system-wide
effects.  We don't want the compiler to reorder it with respect to
memory operations, so make it a memory barrier.

Add "memory" clobbers to savesegment and loadsegment, since they can

c376d45432 x86: nmi_watchdog - use NMI_NONE by default
There is no need to keep NMI_DISABLED definition and use it
for nmi_watchdog by default. Here is the point why:

- IO-APIC and APIC chips are programmed for nmi_watchdog support at very
  early stage of kernel booting and not having nmi_watchdog specified as
  boot option lead only to nmi_watchdog becomes to NMI_NONE anyway
- enable nmi_watchdog thru /proc/sys/kernel/nmi if it was not specified at
  boot is not possible too (even having this sysfs entry)

c4ba1320b7 x86 boot: allow overlapping early reserve memory ranges
Add support for overlapping early memory reservations.

In general, they still can't overlap, and will panic
with "Overlapping early reservations" if they do overlap.

But if a memory range is reserved with the new call:
    reserve_early_overlap_ok()
rather than with the usual call:
    reserve_early()
then subsequent early reservations are allowed to overlap.

This new reserve_early_overlap_ok() call is only used in one
place so far, which is the "BIOS reserved" reservation for the
the EBDA region, which out of Paranoia reserves more than what
the BIOS might have specified, and which thus might overlap with
another legitimate early memory reservation (such as, perhaps,
the EFI memmap.)

i386 and x86_64 used two different schemes for maintaining the gdt.
With this patch, x86_64 initial gdt table is defined in a .c file,
same way as i386 is now. Also, we call it "gdt_page", and the descriptor,
"early_gdt_descr". This way we achieve common naming, which can allow for
more code integration.

a7bf0bd5e6 build: add __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss
Making a variable page-aligned by using
__attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) is fragile because if
sizeof(variable) is not also a multiple of page size, it leaves
variables in the remainder of the section unaligned.

This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and
__page_aligned_bss to set the section *and* the alignment of
variables.  This makes page-aligned variables more robust because the
linker will make sure they're aligned properly.  Unfortunately it
requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros...

identifiers for arguments and variables incorrectly and they actually
contain or are expected to contain something different. Additionally
types are used inconsistently (unsigned short vs u16) and identifiers
are sometimes capitalized.

- consistently use u16 for storing TCI, ID or QoS values
- consistently use vlan_id and vlan_tci for storing the respective values
- remove capitalization
- add kdoc comment to netif_hwaccel_{rx,receive_skb}

1812924bb1 x86, SGI UV: TLB shootdown using broadcast assist unit
TLB shootdown for SGI UV.

Depends on patch (in tip/x86/irq):
   x86-update-macros-used-by-uv-platform.patch   Jack Steiner May 29

This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on
the local node.  The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush
messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit".

The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to
native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c).

This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware
is not yet available.

The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics.
The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of
many /sys files.  The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics
should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging.

Issues to be fixed later:
- The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200
  (see UV_BAU_MESSAGE).  It should be dynamically assigned in the future.
- The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem
  in the simulator.

necessary at all.

3fd052b1b4 x86: add flags parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic()
This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic() like it
already has been added in reserve_bootmem() with commit
72a7fe3967.

It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively
change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's
necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that
function.

The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic()
for crashkernel reservation.

    (nr_node_ids) is known.

  * Debug printouts when CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is active have
    been increased.  It now shows faults when calling node_to_cpumask()
    and node_to_cpumask_ptr().

7891a24e1e x86: restore pda nodenumber field
* Restore the nodenumber field in the x86_64 pda.  This field is slightly
    different than the x86_cpu_to_node_map mainly because it's a static
    indication of which node the cpu is on while the cpu to node map is a
    dyanamic mapping that may get reset if the cpu goes offline.  This also
    simplifies the numa_node_id() macro.

23ca4bba3e x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4
* Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU".  This is
    used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
    before there are per_cpu areas allocated.

    ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu
    areas have been setup".]

    This patchset adds these new macros:

	DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue)
	EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name)
	DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name)

	early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)
	early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx)
	early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu)

    The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
    map and pointer.  It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
    elements to "_initvalue".  The early_* macros provide access to
    the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
    pointer.  This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
    but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup.  After
    that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.

    The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
    access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
    "early" and "late".  It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
    then it's still valid.  Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
    instead:

	#define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) 			\
		(early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ?			\
			early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] :	\
			per_cpu(_name, _cpu))

    A better method is to actually check the pointer manually.  In the
    case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late":

	void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node)
	{
	    int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map);

	    if (cpu_to_node_map)
		    cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node;
	    else
		    per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
	}

  * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
    to topology cpumask_t maps are available.  Otherwise, use the function
    returning the cpumask_t value.  This is useful if cpumask_t set size
    is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack.

  * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while
    the non-debug case has been optimized a bit.

  * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c

  * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c
