Ben Hutchings 5367b6887e x86: Fix code patching for paravirt-alternatives on 486
As reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/511703> and
<http://bugs.debian.org/515982>, kernels with paravirt-alternatives
enabled crash in text_poke_early() on at least some 486-class
processors.

The problem is that text_poke_early() itself uses inline functions
affected by paravirt-alternatives and so will modify instructions that
have already been prefetched.  Pentium and later processors will
invalidate the prefetched instructions in this case, but 486-class
processors do not.

Change sync_core() to limit prefetching on 486-class (and 386-class)
processors, and move the call to sync_core() above the call to the
modifiable local_irq_restore().

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1ea0d14e48 x86/i386: Make sure stack-protector segment base is cache aligned
The Intel Optimization Reference Guide says:

	In Intel Atom microarchitecture, the address generation unit
	assumes that the segment base will be 0 by default. Non-zero
	segment base will cause load and store operations to experience
	a delay.
		- If the segment base isn't aligned to a cache line
		  boundary, the max throughput of memory operations is
		  reduced to one [e]very 9 cycles.
	[...]
	Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 15. (H impact, ML generality)
	For Intel Atom processors, use segments with base set to 0
	whenever possible; avoid non-zero segment base address that is
	not aligned to cache line boundary at all cost.

We can't avoid having a non-zero base for the stack-protector
segment, but we can make it cache-aligned.

H. Peter Anvin 5031296c57 x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and version
A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header.  Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version.  This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.

Add extension fields for both type and version.  The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.

Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

David Howells 9b8de7479d FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU().  This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.

On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section.  The linker throws
up the following errors:

kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o

To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU().  However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Rusty Russell 30e1e6d1af cpumask: fix CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y cpu hotunplug crash
Impact: Fix cpu offline when CONFIG_MAXSMP=y

Changeset bc9b83dd1f "cpumask: convert
c1e_mask in arch/x86/kernel/process.c to cpumask_var_t" contained a
bug: c1e_mask is manipulated even if C1E isn't detected (and hence
not allocated).

This is simply fixed by checking for NULL (which gcc optimizes out
anyway of CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, since it knows ce1_mask can never
be NULL).

In addition, fix a leak where select_idle_routine re-allocates
(and re-clears) c1e_mask on every cpu init.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge db949bba3c x86-32: use non-lazy io bitmap context switching
Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification

x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks
with io permission bitmaps.  x86-64 simply copies the next
tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch.  x86-32
invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next
IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the
appropriate IO bitmap.

This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more
less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction
slower due to the extra fault.  This tradeoff only makes sense
if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they
don't actually use IO instructions very often.

However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely
to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on
a server.  Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win
all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from
64-bit code.

This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to
unifying this code in a later change.

Ingo Molnar d951734654 x86, mm: rename TASK_SIZE64 => TASK_SIZE_MAX
Impact: cleanup

Rename TASK_SIZE64 to TASK_SIZE_MAX, and provide the
define on 32-bit too. (mapped to TASK_SIZE)

This allows 32-bit code to make use of the (former-) TASK_SIZE64
symbol as well, in a clean way.

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.

Impact: cleanup and bug fix

Use the linker to create symbols for certain per-cpu variables
that are offset by __per_cpu_load.  This allows the removal of
the runtime fixup of the GDT pointer, which fixes a bug with
resume reported by Jiri Slaby.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 11e3a840cd x86: split loading percpu segments from loading gdt
Impact: split out a function, no functional change

Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on.  For
various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time.   It does,
however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no
pressing need to reload the gdt.

Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call
it directly.

Move the irqstackptr variable from the PDA to per-cpu.  Make the
stacks themselves per-cpu, removing some specific allocation code.
Add a seperate flag (is_boot_cpu) to simplify the per-cpu boot
adjustments.

tj: * sprinkle some underbars around.

    * irq_stack_ptr is not used till traps_init(), no reason to
      initialize it early.  On SMP, just leaving it NULL till proper
      initialization in setup_per_cpu_areas() works.  Dropped
      is_boot_cpu and early irq_stack_ptr initialization.
