ff4b8a57f0 Merge branch 'driver-core-next' into Linux 3.2
This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.

The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au> who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

ceb7b40b65 x86: Fix atomic64_xxx_cx8() functions
It appears about all functions in arch/x86/lib/atomic64_cx8_32.S
are wrong in case cmpxchg8b must be restarted, because
LOCK_PREFIX macro defines a label "1" clashing with other local
labels :

1:
	some_instructions
	LOCK_PREFIX
	cmpxchg8b (%ebp)
	jne 1b  / jumps to beginning of LOCK_PREFIX !

A possible fix is to use a magic label "672" in LOCK_PREFIX asm
definition, similar to the "671" one we defined in
LOCK_PREFIX_HERE.

cdcd629869 x86: Fix and improve cmpxchg_double{,_local}()
Just like the per-CPU ones they had several
problems/shortcomings:

Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the asm()
operands, and the 2x64-bit version didn't have a memory clobber
while the 2x32-bit one did. The former allowed the compiler to
not recognize the need to re-load the data in case it had it
cached in some register, while the latter was overly
destructive.

The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
incorrect (the types of the pointed-to variables should be used
here, to make sure the respective old/new variable types are
compatible).

The __dummy/__junk variables were pointless, given that local
copies of the inputs already existed (and can hence be used for
discarded outputs).

The 32-bit variant of cmpxchg_double_local() referenced
cmpxchg16b_local().

At once also:

 - change the return value type to what it really is: 'bool'
 - unify 32- and 64-bit variants
 - abstract out the common part of the 'normal' and 'local' variants

95d4c16ce7 KVM: Optimize dirty logging by rmap_write_protect()
Currently, write protecting a slot needs to walk all the shadow pages
and checks ones which have a pte mapping a page in it.

The walk is overly heavy when dirty pages in that slot are not so many
and checking the shadow pages would result in unwanted cache pollution.

To mitigate this problem, we use rmap_write_protect() and check only
the sptes which can be reached from gfns marked in the dirty bitmap
when the number of dirty pages are less than that of shadow pages.

This criterion is reasonable in its meaning and worked well in our test:
write protection became some times faster than before when the ratio of
dirty pages are low and was not worse even when the ratio was near the
criterion.

Note that the locking for this write protection becomes fine grained.
The reason why this is safe is descripted in the comments.

a30f47cb15 KVM: MMU: improve write flooding detected
Detecting write-flooding does not work well, when we handle page written, if
the last speculative spte is not accessed, we treat the page is
write-flooding, however, we can speculative spte on many path, such as pte
prefetch, page synced, that means the last speculative spte may be not point
to the written page and the written page can be accessed via other sptes, so
depends on the Accessed bit of the last speculative spte is not enough

Instead of detected page accessed, we can detect whether the spte is accessed
after it is written, if the spte is not accessed but it is written frequently,
we treat is not a page table or it not used for a long time

a31bc32760 x86, x2apic: Allow "nox2apic" to disable x2apic mode setup by BIOS
Currently "nox2apic" boot parameter was not enabling x2apic mode if the cpu,
kernel are all capable of enabling x2apic mode and the OS handover
happened in xapic mode.

However If the bios enabled x2apic prior to OS handover, using "nox2apic"
boot parameter had no effect.

If the boot cpu's apicid is < 255, enable "nox2apic" boot parameter to
disable the x2apic mode setup by the bios. This will enable the kernel to
fallback to xapic mode and bringup only the cpu's which has apic-id < 255.

fb209bd891 x86, x2apic: Fallback to xapic when BIOS doesn't setup interrupt-remapping
On some of the recent Intel SNB platforms, by default bios is pre-enabling
x2apic mode in the cpu with out setting up interrupt-remapping.
This case was resulting in the kernel to panic as the cpu is already in
x2apic mode but the OS was not able to enable interrupt-remapping (which
is a pre-req for using x2apic capability).

On these platforms all the apic-ids are < 255 and the kernel can fallback to
xapic mode if the bios has not enabled interrupt-remapping (which is
mostly the case if the bios has not exported interrupt-remapping tables to the
OS).

8a25a2fd12 cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem
This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

141168c36c x86: Simplify code by removing a !SMP #ifdefs from 'struct cpuinfo_x86'
Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the
!SMP case, likely to save space.  However, those fields still
have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef
removal from other files.  The additional size of the UP kernel
from this change is not significant enough to worry about
keeping up the distinction:

	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	4737168	 506459	 972040	6215667	 5ed7f3	vmlinux.o.before
	4737444	 506459	 972040	6215943	 5ed907	vmlinux.o.after

for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.

If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should
be implemented in a cleaner way.

ca3d30cc02 x86_64, asm: Optimise fls(), ffs() and fls64()
fls(N), ffs(N) and fls64(N) can be optimised on x86_64.  Currently they use a
CMOV instruction after the BSR/BSF to set the destination register to -1 if the
value to be scanned was 0 (in which case BSR/BSF set the Z flag).

Instead, according to the AMD64 specification, we can make use of the fact that
BSR/BSF doesn't modify its output register if its input is 0.  By preloading
the output with -1 and incrementing the result, we achieve the desired result
without the need for a conditional check.

The Intel x86_64 specification, however, says that the result of BSR/BSF in
such a case is undefined.  That said, when queried, one of the Intel CPU
architects said that the behaviour on all Intel CPUs is that:

 (1) with BSRQ/BSFQ, the 64-bit destination register is written with its
     original value if the source is 0, thus, in essence, giving the effect we
     want.  And,

 (2) with BSRL/BSFL, the lower half of the 64-bit destination register is
     written with its original value if the source is 0, and the upper half is
     cleared, thus giving us the effect we want (we return a 4-byte int).

Further, it was indicated that they (Intel) are unlikely to get away with
changing the behaviour.

It might be possible to optimise the 32-bit versions of these functions, but
there's a lot more variation, and so the effective non-destructive property of
BSRL/BSRF cannot be relied on.

[ hpa: specifically, some 486 chips are known to NOT have this property. ]

I have benchmarked these functions on my Core2 Duo test machine using the

				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += get_order_old_fls64(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	static noinline unsigned long test_get_order(void)
	{
		unsigned long n, total = 0;
		long rep, loop;

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += get_order(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		unsigned long total;

		switch (argc) {
		case 1:  total = test_old_get_order();		break;
		case 2:  total = test_get_order_old_fls64();	break;
		default: total = test_get_order();		break;
		}
		prevent_optimise_out = total;
		return 0;
	}

This allows me to test the use of the old fls64() implementation and the new
fls64() implementation and also to contrast these to the out-of-line loop-based
implementation of get_order().  The results were:

	warthog>time ./get_order
	real    1m37.191s
	user    1m36.313s
	sys     0m0.861s
	warthog>time ./get_order x
	real    0m16.892s
	user    0m16.586s
	sys     0m0.287s
	warthog>time ./get_order x x
	real    0m7.731s
	user    0m7.727s
	sys     0m0.002s

Using the current upstream fls64() as a basis for an inlined get_order() [the
second result above] is much faster than using the current out-of-line
loop-based get_order() [the first result above].

Using my optimised inline fls64()-based get_order() [the third result above]
is even faster still.

cebef5beed x86: Fix and improve percpu_cmpxchg{8,16}b_double()
They had several problems/shortcomings:

Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the 2x32bit asm()
operands, and 2x64-bit version had a memory clobber. The first
allowed the compiler to not recognize the need to re-load the
data in case it had it cached in some register, and the second
was overly destructive.

The memory operand in the 2x32-bit asm() was declared to only be
an output.

The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
incorrect (as in other per-CPU ops, the types of the per-CPU
variables accessed should be used here, to make sure the
respective types are compatible).

The __dummy variable was pointless (and needlessly initialized
in the 2x32-bit case), given that local copies of the inputs
already exist.

The 2x64-bit variant forced the address of the first object into
%rsi, even though this is needed only for the call to the
emulation function. The real cmpxchg16b can operate on an
memory.

At once also change the return value type to what it really is -
'bool'.
