X86_HT is used for hyperthreading or multicore on 32-bit.
The X86_HT on 64-bit is different from 32-bit, it means hyperthreading only.
And X86_HT is not used on 64-bit except from cpu/initel_cacheinfo.c.
Unify X86_HT for hyperthreading or multicore.

quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86,
as documented at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991
the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose
cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for
anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's
the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was
supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated
by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as:
Quicklists: 1194304 kB
given how much trouble this code has caused historically,
and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86
(years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.
[ any performance benefits of caching constructed pgds should
be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page
allocator), while still allowing constructed pages to be

It's always been broken, but recent fixes actually made it do something,
and now the brokenness shows up as the resulting kernel simply not
working at all.
So it used to be that you could enable this config option, and it just
didn't do anything. Now we'd better stop people from enabling it by
mistake, since it _does_ do something, but does it so badly as to be
unusable.
Code to actually make it work is pending, but incomplete and won't be
merged into 2.6.25 in any case.

The last posted version of this patch gave compile error
on IA64. So, here goes yet another rewrite of the patch.
Convert cpu_idle_wait() to cpuidle_kick_cpus() which is
SMP-only, and gives error on non supported CPU.
Changes from last patch sent by Kevin:
Moved the definition of kick_cpus back to cpuidle.c from cpuidle.h:
* Having it in .h gives #error on archs which includes the header file without
actually having CPU_IDLE configured. To make it work in .h, we need one more
#ifdef around that code which makes it messy.
* Also, the function is only called from one file. So, it can be in declared
statically in .c rather than making it available to everyone who includes
the .h file.

Provide an alternate implementation of the SLUB fast paths for alloc
and free using cmpxchg_local. The cmpxchg_local fast path is selected
for arches that have CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set. An arch should only
set CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL if the cmpxchg_local is faster than an
interrupt enable/disable sequence. This is known to be true for both
x86 platforms so set FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL for both arches.
Currently another requirement for the fastpath is that the kernel is
compiled without preemption. The restriction will go away with the
introduction of a new per cpu allocator and new per cpu operations.
The advantages of a cmpxchg_local based fast path are:
1. Potentially lower cycle count (30%-60% faster)
2. There is no need to disable and enable interrupts on the fast path.
Currently interrupts have to be disabled and enabled on every
slab operation. This is likely avoiding a significant percentage
of interrupt off / on sequences in the kernel.
3. The disposal of freed slabs can occur with interrupts enabled.
The alternate path is realized using #ifdef's. Several attempts to do the
same with macros and inline functions resulted in a mess (in particular due
to the strange way that local_interrupt_save() handles its argument and due
to the need to define macros/functions that sometimes disable interrupts
and sometimes do something else).

Introduce ticket lock spinlocks for x86 which are FIFO. The implementation
is described in the comments. The straight-line lock/unlock instruction
sequence is slightly slower than the dec based locks on modern x86 CPUs,
however the difference is quite small on Core2 and Opteron when working out of
cache, and becomes almost insignificant even on P4 when the lock misses cache.
trylock is more significantly slower, but they are relatively rare.
On an 8 core (2 socket) Opteron, spinlock unfairness is extremely noticable,
with a userspace test having a difference of up to 2x runtime per thread, and
some threads are starved or "unfairly" granted the lock up to 1 000 000 (!)
times. After this patch, all threads appear to finish at exactly the same
time.
The memory ordering of the lock does conform to x86 standards, and the
implementation has been reviewed by Intel and AMD engineers.
The algorithm also tells us how many CPUs are contending the lock, so
lockbreak becomes trivial and we no longer have to waste 4 bytes per
spinlock for it.
After this, we can no longer spin on any locks with preempt enabled
and cannot reenable interrupts when spinning on an irq safe lock, because
at that point we have already taken a ticket and the would deadlock if
the same CPU tries to take the lock again. These are questionable anyway:
if the lock happens to be called under a preempt or interrupt disabled section,
then it will just have the same latency problems. The real fix is to keep
critical sections short, and ensure locks are reasonably fair (which this
patch does).

x86_64, parameters passed to EFI firmware services need to follow the EFI
calling convention. For this purpose, a set of functions named efi_call<x>
(<x> is the number of parameters) are implemented. EFI function calls are
wrapped before calling the firmware service. The duplicated code between
efi_32.c and efi_64.c is placed in efi.c to remove them from efi_32.c.

Use sparsemem as the only memory model for UP, SMP and NUMA. Measurements
indicate that DISCONTIGMEM has a higher overhead than sparsemem. And
FLATMEMs benefits are minimal. So I think its best to simply standardize
on sparsemem.
Results of page allocator tests (test can be had via git from slab git
tree branch tests)
Measurements in cycle counts. 1000 allocations were performed and then the
average cycle count was calculated.

This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.
The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)
The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

Make the Kconfig.instrumentation file a bit easier on the eyes, and use
the new ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE for x86[-64].
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
The recent Kconfig changes in x86 resulted in CONFIG_X86_HT no longer
being set if (X86_32 && MK8).
After grep'ing through the tree I think the problem is that different
places have different assumptions about the semantics of CONFIG_X86_HT,
either:
- hyperthreading or
- multicore
This should be sorted out properly, but until then we should keep the
2.6.23 status quo.

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.
For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
The patch reverts these commits:
- 0f855aa64b ("kconfig: add helper to set
config symbol from environment variable")
- 2a113281f5 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
set 64BIT with all*config targets")
Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.
With this patch we have following behaviour:
# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.

After unification of the Kconfig files and
introducing K64BIT support in kconfig
it required only trivial changes to enable
"make ARCH=x86".
With this patch you can build for x86_64 in several ways:
1) make ARCH=x86_64
2) make ARCH=x86 K64BIT=y
3) make ARCH=x86 menuconfig
=> select 64-bit
Likewise for i386 with the addition that
i386 is default is you say ARCH=x86.

This step introduces the file arch/x86/Kconfig
which contains all the menu's from "Power Management"
and below.
The main part of the new Kconfig file is shared
and the remaining i386/x86_64 specific symbols
are covered by dependencies.
A x86_64 allmodconfig build did not show any differences.
