Now that all EEPROM drivers live in the same place, let's harmonize
their symbol names.
Also fix eeprom's dependencies, it definitely needs sysfs, and is no
longer experimental after many years in the kernel tree.

Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs
rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.
So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
support it.

In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that
gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in
question. By swapping to PAGE_KERNEL_UC_MINUS, we can get the actual
behavior the caller wanted (WC if you can manage it, UC otherwise).
This recovers the 40% performance improvement of using WC in the DRM
to upload vertex data.

the RDC and ELAN platforms use slighly different PIT clocks, resulting in
a timex.h hack that changes PIT_TICK_RATE during build time. But if a
tester enables any of these platform support .config options, the PIT
will be miscalibrated on standard PC platforms.
So use one frequency - in a subsequent patch we'll add a quirk to allow
x86 platforms to define different PIT frequencies.

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.
This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
union {
struct {
unsigned long private;
struct address_space *mapping;
};
spinlock_t ptl;
struct kmem_cache *slab;
struct page *first_page;
};
Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.
It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

> x86: track memtype for RAM in page struct
This commit breaks mapping any RAM page through /dev/mem, as the
reserve_memtype() was not initializing the return attribute type and as such
corrupting the PTE entry that was setup with the return attribute type.
Because of this bug, application mapping this RAM page through /dev/mem
will die with "Corrupted page table at address xxxx" message in the kernel
log and also the kernel identity mapping which maps the underlying RAM
page gets converted to UC.
Fix this by initializing the return attribute type before calling
reserve_ram_pages_type()

I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because
the code is processed much too early.
This patch:
- Declares mtrr.show as early_param
- Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt
that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work
- Declares mtrr_show as initdata

Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

This reverts commit 4217458dafaa57d8e26a46f5d05ab8c53cf64191.
Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox
crashes.
The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.
So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.
Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit
usercopy.c in the same way.

Impact: fix crash with memory hotplug enabled
kernel_physical_mapping_init() is called during memory hotplug
so it does not belong in the init section.
If the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y on
the make command line, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c is compiled with
the -fno-inline-functions-called-once gcc option defeating
inlining of kernel_physical_mapping_init() within init_memory_mapping().
When kernel_physical_mapping_init() is not inlined it is placed
in the .init.text section according to the __init in it's current
declaration. A later call to kernel_physical_mapping_init() during
a memory hotplug operation encounters an int3 trap because the
.init.text section memory has been freed.
This patch eliminates the crash caused by the int3 trap by moving the
non-inlined kernel_physical_mapping_init() from .init.text to .meminit.text.

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c is still broken: there's no

never will handle deep apic version assymetries well], but it's prudent

Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the
subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over
the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to
calculate pte addresses).
This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot
process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number
of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't
show up the problem).
Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its
entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered
and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile
scheme ever breaks again...
Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap
trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes
potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early
ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by
early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration,
namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the
time the fixmap area page tables get constructed.
Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space
needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for
large CPU counts to actually boot.

Here X is trying to map first 8KB of memory using /dev/mem. Existing
code treats first 0-4KB of memory as non-RAM and 4KB-8KB as RAM. Recent
code changes don't allow to map memory with different attributes
at the same time.
Fix this by treating the first 1MB legacy region as special and always
track the attribute requests with in this region using linear linked
list (and don't bother if the range is RAM or non-RAM or mixed)

Impact: reduce scope of debug check - avoid warnings
The logic to find whether identity map exists or not using
high_memory or max_low_pfn_mapped/max_pfn_mapped are not complete
as the memory withing the range may not be mapped if there is a
unusable hole in e820.
Specifically, on my test system I started seeing these warnings with
tools like hwinfo, acpidump trying to map ACPI region.

We can add logic to check for this. But, there can also be other holes in
identity map when we have 1GB of aligned reserved space in e820.
This patch handles it by removing the WARN_ON and returning a specific
error value (EFAULT) to indicate that the address does not have any
identity mapping.
The code that tries to keep identity map in sync can ignore
this error, with other callers of cpa still getting error here.

Impact: avoid warning message, potentially solve 3D performance regression
Change x86 PAT code to return compatible memtype if the exact memtype that
was requested in remap_pfn_rage and friends is not available due to some
conflict.
This is done by returning the compatible type in pgprot parameter of
track_pfn_vma_new(), and the caller uses that memtype for page table.
Note that track_pfn_vma_copy() which is basically called during fork gets the
prot from existing page table and should not have any conflict. Hence we use
strict memtype check there and do not allow compatible memtypes.
This patch fixes the bug reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123108883716357&w=2
Specifically the error message:
X:5010 map pfn expected mapping type write-back for d0000000-d0101000,
got write-combining
Should go away.

Impact: reduce kernel image size
Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.
Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.
Probably should be done for other architectures too.
Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.
On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.
With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:
6116998 1138540 883788 8139326 7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch
6137043 1138540 883788 8159371 7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining

This reverts commit 7503bfbae89eba07b46441a5d1594647f6b8ab7d.
Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to
this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system.
The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code,
but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the
hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before
lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the
policy lock taken.
Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack
trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel
place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch.
work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.

Ajith Kumar noticed:
I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear
about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function.
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address);
pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address);
Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.
