Huang Ying 13b79b9715 crypto: aesni-intel - Fix irq_fpu_usable usage
When renaming kernel_fpu_using to irq_fpu_usable, the semantics of the
function is changed too, from mesuring whether kernel is using FPU,
that is, the FPU is NOT available, to measuring whether FPU is usable,
that is, the FPU is available.

But the usage of irq_fpu_usable in aesni-intel_glue.c is not changed
accordingly. This patch fixes this.

Frederik Deweerdt 8a8365c560 KVM: MMU: fix pointer cast
On a 32 bits compile, commit 3da0dd433d
introduced the following warnings:

arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c: In function ‘kvm_set_spte_hva’:
arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:849: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

The following patch uses 'unsigned long' instead of u64 to match the
pointer size on both arches.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 71999d9862 x86/paravirt: Use normal calling sequences for irq enable/disable
Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled,
and debugged it back to edx register corruption.

For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special
calling sequences to make them more efficient.  With the more
recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations
this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_
macros.

This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left
edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in
__PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use.

Yinghai Lu 15b812f1d0 pci: increase alignment to make more space for hidden code
As reported in

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940

on some system when acpi are enabled, acpi clears some BAR for some
devices without reason, and kernel will need to allocate devices for
them.  It then apparently hits some undocumented resource conflict,
resulting in non-working devices.

Try to increase alignment to get more safe range for unassigned devices.

Ingo Molnar e7ab0f7b50 Revert "x86, timers: Check for pending timers after (device) interrupts"
This reverts commit 9bcbdd9c58.

The real bug producing LatencyTop latencies has been fixed in:

  f5dc375: sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected

And the commit being reverted here triggers local timer processing
from every device IRQ. If device IRQs come in at a high frequency,
this could cause a performance regression.

The commit being reverted here purely 'fixed' the reported latency
as a side effect, because CPUs were being moved out of idle more
often.

Arjan van de Ven 9bcbdd9c58 x86, timers: Check for pending timers after (device) interrupts
Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also
reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using
iwlagn.

It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get
checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic
timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other
wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible.

The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer
interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that:

 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less

 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
    the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.

I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the
original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported
success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec
range.

Ingo Molnar f436f8bb73 x86: EDAC: MCE: Fix MCE decoding callback logic
Make decoding of MCEs happen only on AMD hardware by registering a
non-default callback only on CPU families which support it.

While looking at the interaction of decode_mce() with the other MCE
code i also noticed a few other things and made the following
cleanups/fixes:

 - Fixed the mce_decode() weak alias - a weak alias is really not
   good here, it should be a proper callback. A weak alias will be
   overriden if a piece of code is built into the kernel - not
   good, obviously.

 - The patch initializes the callback on AMD family 10h and 11h.

 - Added the more correct fallback printk of:

	No support for human readable MCE decoding on this CPU type.
	Transcribe the message and run it through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode.

   On CPUs that dont have a decoder.

 - Made the surrounding code more readable.

Note that the callback allows us to have a default fallback -
without having to check the CPU versions during the printout
itself. When an EDAC module registers itself, it can install the
decode-print function.

(there's no unregister needed as this is core code.)

version -v2 by Borislav Petkov:

 - add K8 to the set of supported CPUs

 - always build in edac_mce_amd since we use an early_initcall now

 - fix checkpatch warnings

Jan Beulich 24e35800cd x86: Don't leak 64-bit kernel register values to 32-bit processes
While 32-bit processes can't directly access R8...R15, they can
gain access to these registers by temporarily switching themselves
into 64-bit mode.

Therefore, registers not preserved anyway by called C functions
(i.e. R8...R11) must be cleared prior to returning to user mode.

Jason Wessel ea3acb199a x86: earlyprintk: Fix regression to handle serial,ttySn as 1 arg
Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console")
introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel
arguments.

If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel
argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument
and not as "serial" and then "ttyS".

Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS
directly without the "serial" argument.

This reduces the kernel size a bit.

Samuel Thibault d1716a60a8 x86: Fix csum_ipv6_magic asm memory clobber
Just like ip_fast_csum, the assembly snippet in csum_ipv6_magic needs a
memory clobber, as it is only passed the address of the buffer, not a
memory reference to the buffer itself.

This caused failures in Hurd's pfinetv4 when we tried to compile it with
gcc-4.3 (bogus checksums).

Linus Torvalds 982d007a6e x86: Optimize cmpxchg64() at build-time some more
Try to avoid the 'alternates()' code when we can statically
determine that cmpxchg8b is fine. We already have that
CONFIG_x86_CMPXCHG64 (enabled by PAE support), and we could easily
also enable it for some of the CPU cases.

Note, this patch only adds CMPXCHG8B for the obvious Intel CPU's,
not for others. (There was something really messy about cmpxchg8b
and clone CPU's, so if you enable it on other CPUs later, do it
carefully.)

If we avoid that asm-alternative thing when we can assume the
instruction exists, we'll generate less support crud, and we'll
avoid the whole issue with that extra 'nop' for padding instruction
sizes etc.

Arjan van de Ven 79e1dd05d1 x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64()
cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code.

cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there,
but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking.

This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
all modern systems.

Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems
are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)

Linus Torvalds d949f36f18 x86: Fix hwpoison code related build failure on 32-bit NUMAQ
This build failure triggers:

 In file included from include/linux/suspend.h:8,
                 from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets_32.c:11,
                 from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:2:
 include/linux/mm.h:503:2: error: #error SECTIONS_WIDTH+NODES_WIDTH+ZONES_WIDTH > BITS_PER_LONG - NR_PAGEFLAGS

Because due to the hwpoison page flag we ran out of page
flags on 32-bit.

Dont turn on hwpoison on 32-bit NUMA (it's rare in any
case).

Also clean up the Kconfig dependencies in the generic MM
code by introducing ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE.
