I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode
update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode"
field to /proc/cpuinfo.
The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks
together with the other CPUID model information.
I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver,
it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode
is updated it fills in the new values too.
I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it
being optimized away when the result is not used.
This turns out to clean up further code which already got this
information manually. This is done in followon patches.

Requesting the microcode from userspace *every time* when onlining CPUs
(during a CPU hotplug operation) is unnecessary. Thus, ensure that
once the kernel gets the microcode after booting, it is not freed nor
invalidated when a CPU goes offline, so that it can be reused when that
CPU comes back online, without requesting userspace for it again. As a
result, the CPU hotplug operations become faster as well.

A deadlock was introduced on x86 in commit ef68c8f87e ("x86:
Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock") because efi_get_time()
and friends can be called with rtc_lock already held by
read_persistent_time(), e.g.:
timekeeping_init()
read_persistent_clock() <-- acquire rtc_lock
efi_get_time()
phys_efi_get_time() <-- acquire rtc_lock <DEADLOCK>
To fix this let's push the locking down into the get_wallclock()
and set_wallclock() implementations. Only the clock
implementations that access the x86 RTC directly need to acquire
rtc_lock, so it makes sense to push the locking down into the
rtc, vrtc and efi code.
The virtualization implementations don't require rtc_lock to be
held because they provide their own serialization.

There are three choices:
vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the
corresponding syscalls.
vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.
vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3
selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq
changes cs to the magic value 0xe033.
Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve
vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling"
(c9712944b2), vsyscalls will segfault
if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when
older init builds die.
It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without
taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the
tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because
ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

Gold has trouble assigning numbers to the location counter inside of
an output section description. The bug was triggered by
9fd67b4ed0, which consolidated all of
the vsyscall sections into a single section. The workaround is IMO
still nicer than the old way of doing it.
This produces an apparently valid kernel image and passes my vdso
tests on both GNU ld version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118 and GNU

The Host used to create some page tables for the Guest to use at the
top of Guest memory; it would then tell the Guest where this was. In
particular, it created linear mappings for 0 and 0xC0000000 addresses
because lguest used to switch to its real page tables quite late in
boot.
However, since d50d8fe19 Linux initialized boot page tables in
head_32.S even before the "are we lguest?" boot jump. So, now we can
simplify things: the Host pagetable code assumes 1:1 linear mapping
until it first calls the LHCALL_NEW_PGTABLE hypercall, which we now do
before we reach C code.
This also means that the Host doesn't need to know anything about the
Guest's PAGE_OFFSET. (Non-Linux guests might not even have such a
thing).

copy_from_user_nmi() is used in oprofile and perf. Moving it to other
library functions like copy_from_user(). As this is x86 code for 32
and 64 bits, create a new file usercopy.c for unified code.

This patch:
- fixes typos in comments and clarifies the text
- renames obscure p4_event_alias::original and ::alter members to
::original and ::alternative as appropriate
- drops parenthesis from the return of p4_get_alias_event()
No functional changes.

All these are instances of
#define NAME value;
or
#define NAME(params_opt) value;
These of course fail to build when used in contexts like
if(foo $OP NAME)
while(bar $OP NAME)
and may silently generate the wrong code in contexts such as
foo = NAME + 1; /* foo = value; + 1; */
bar = NAME - 1; /* bar = value; - 1; */
baz = NAME & quux; /* baz = value; & quux; */

Initial analysis of the dangers provided by Keith Thompson in that thread.
There are many more instances of more complicated macros having unnecessary
trailing semicolons, but this pile seems to be all of the cases of simple
values suffering from the problem. (Thus things that are likely to be found
in one of the contexts above, more complicated ones aren't.)

In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced
kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call
return address is the jump back entry.
Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that
the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original
kernel.
But in the current implementation the stack position used for
function call return address is not cleared context
preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug.
