Yinghai Lu 1f442d70c8 x86: remove smp_apply_quirks()/smp_checks()
Impact: cleanup and code size reduction on 64-bit

This code is only applied to Intel Pentium and AMD K7 32-bit cpus.

Move those checks to intel_init()/amd_init() for 32-bit
so 64-bit will not build this code.

Also change to use cpu_index check to see if we need to emit warning.

Andi Kleen 88ccbedd9c x86, mce, cmci: add CMCI support
Impact: Major new feature

Intel CMCI (Corrected Machine Check Interrupt) is a new
feature on Nehalem CPUs. It allows the CPU to trigger
interrupts on corrected events, which allows faster
reaction to them instead of with the traditional
polling timer.

Also use CMCI to discover shared banks. Machine check banks
can be shared by CPU threads or even cores. Using the CMCI enable
bit it is possible to detect the fact that another CPU already
saw a specific bank. Use this to assign shared banks only
to one CPU to avoid reporting duplicated events.

On CPU hot unplug bank sharing is re discovered. This is done
using a thread that cycles through all the CPUs.

To avoid races between the poller and CMCI we only poll
for banks that are not CMCI capable and only check CMCI
owned banks on a interrupt.

The shared banks ownership information is currently only used for
CMCI interrupts, not polled banks.

The sharing discovery code follows the algorithm recommended in the
IA32 SDM Vol3a 14.5.2.1

The CMCI interrupt handler just calls the machine check poller to
pick up the machine check event that caused the interrupt.

I decided not to implement a separate threshold event like
the AMD version has, because the threshold is always one currently
and adding another event didn't seem to add any value.

Some code inspired by Yunhong Jiang's Xen implementation,
which was in term inspired by a earlier CMCI implementation
by me.

Define a per cpu bitmap that contains the banks polled by the machine
check poller. This is needed for the CMCI code in the next patches

The bank by default contains all banks, so there is no behaviour
change. Only future code will remove some banks from the polling
set.

The threshold handler on AMD (and soon on Intel) could be theoretically

Andi Kleen b276268631 x86, mce, cmci: factor out threshold interrupt handler
Impact: cleanup; preparation for feature

The mce_amd_64 code has an own private MC threshold vector with an own
interrupt handler. Since Intel needs a similar handler
it makes sense to share the vector because both can not
be active at the same time.

I factored the common APIC handler code into a separate file which can
be used by both the Intel or AMD MC code.

This is needed for the next patch which adds an Intel specific
CMCI handler.

This patch should be a nop for AMD, it just moves some code
around.

Andi Kleen b79109c3bb x86, mce: separate correct machine check poller and fatal exception handler
Impact: cleanup, performance enhancement

The machine check poller is diverging more and more from the fatal
exception handler. Instead of adding more special cases separate the code
paths completely. The corrected poll path is actually quite simple,
and this doesn't result in much code duplication.

This makes both handlers much easier to read and results in
cleaner code flow.  The exception handler now only needs to care
about uncorrected errors, which also simplifies the handling of multiple
errors. The corrected poller also now always runs in standard interrupt
context and does not need to do anything special to handle NMI context.

Minor behaviour changes:
- MCG status is now not cleared on polling.
- Only the banks which had corrected errors get cleared on polling
- The exception handler only clears banks with errors now

v2: Forward port to new patch order. Add "uc" argument.

Andi Kleen 0d7482e3d7 x86, mce: implement dynamic machine check banks support
Impact: cleanup; making code future proof; memory saving on small systems

This patch replaces the hardcoded max number of machine check banks with 
dynamic allocation depending on what the CPU reports. The sysfs
data structures and the banks array are dynamically allocated.

There is still a hard bank limit (128) because the mcelog protocol uses
banks >= 128 as pseudo banks to escape other events. But we expect
that 128 banks is beyond any reasonable CPU for now.

This supersedes an earlier patch by Venki, but it solves the problem
more completely by making the limit fully dynamic (up to the 128
boundary).

This saves some memory on machines with less than 6 banks because
they won't need sysdevs for unused ones and also allows to 
use sysfs to control these banks on possible future CPUs with
more than 6 banks.

This is an updated patch addressing Venki's comments.  I also added in
another patch from Thomas which fixed the error allocation path (that
patch was previously separated)

Andi Kleen 52d168e28b x86, mce: switch machine check polling to per CPU timer
Impact: Higher priority bug fix

The machine check poller runs a single timer and then broadcasted an
IPI to all CPUs to check them. This leads to unnecessary
synchronization between CPUs. The original CPU running the timer has
to wait potentially a long time for all other CPUs answering. This is
also real time unfriendly and in general inefficient.

This was especially a problem on systems with a lot of events where
the poller run with a higher frequency after processing some events.
There could be more and more CPU time wasted with this, to
the point of significantly slowing down machines.

The machine check polling is actually fully independent per CPU, so
there's no reason to not just do this all with per CPU timers.  This
patch implements that.

Also switch the poller also to use standard timers instead of work
queues. It was using work queues to be able to execute a user program
on a event, but mce_notify_user() handles this case now with a
separate callback. So instead always run the poll code in in a
standard per CPU timer, which means that in the common case of not
having to execute a trigger there will be less overhead.

This allows to clean up the initialization significantly, because
standard timers are already up when machine checks get init'ed.  No
multiple initialization functions.

Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for some help.

This relaxes the requirement that mce_notify_user has to run in process
context. Useful for future changes, but also leads to cleaner
behaviour now. Now instead mce_notify_user can be called directly
from interrupt (but not NMI) context.

The work queue only uses a single global work struct, which can be done safely
because it is always free to reuse before the trigger function is executed.
This way no events can be lost.

Andi Kleen 123aa76ec0 x86, mce: don't disable machine checks during code patching
Impact: low priority bug fix

This removes part of a a patch I added myself some time ago. After some
consideration the patch was a bad idea. In particular it stopped machine check
exceptions during code patching.

To quote the comment:

        * MCEs only happen when something got corrupted and in this
        * case we must do something about the corruption.
        * Ignoring it is worse than a unlikely patching race.
        * Also machine checks tend to be broadcast and if one CPU
        * goes into machine check the others follow quickly, so we don't
        * expect a machine check to cause undue problems during to code
        * patching.

So undo the machine check related parts of
8f4e956b31 NMIs are still disabled.

During suspend it is not reliable to process machine check
exceptions, because CPUs disappear but can still get machine check
broadcasts.  Also the system is slightly more likely to
machine check them, but the handler is typically not a position

So disable them during suspend and enable them during resume.

Also make sure they are always disabled on hot-unplugged CPUs.

Rusty Russell a0abd520fd cpumask: fix powernow-k8: partial revert of 2fdf66b491
Impact: fix powernow-k8 when acpi=off (or other error).

There was a spurious change introduced into powernow-k8 in this patch:
so that we try to "restore" the cpus_allowed we never saved.  We revert
that file.

See lkml "[PATCH] x86/powernow: fix cpus_allowed brokage when
acpi=off" from Yinghai for the bug report.

Yinghai Lu f6db44df5b x86: fix typo in filter_cpuid_features()
Impact: fix wrong disabling of cpu features

an amd system got this strange output:

 CPU: CPU feature monitor disabled due to lack of CPUID level 0x5

but in /proc/cpuinfo I have:

 cpuid level	: 5

on intel system:

 CPU: CPU feature monitor disabled due to lack of CPUID level 0x5
 CPU: CPU feature dca disabled due to lack of CPUID level 0x9

but in /proc/cpuinfo i have:

 cpuid level     : 11

Tt turns out there is a typo, and we should use level member in df.

Tejun Heo 60a5317ff0 x86: implement x86_32 stack protector
Impact: stack protector for x86_32

Implement stack protector for x86_32.  GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry.  As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere.  It's defined as a percpu
variable.

x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs.  With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed.  For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions.  We definitely
need something better.
