f7f3cad060 [CPUFREQ] longhaul: select Longhaul version 2 for capable CPUs
There is a typo in the longhaul detection code so only Longhaul v1 or Longhaul v3
is selected. The Longhaul v2 is not selected even for CPUs which are capable of.

Tested on PCChips Giga Pro board. Frequency changes work and the Longhaul v2
detects that the board is not capable of changing CPU voltage.

eb647138ac x86/PCI: Adjust GFP mask handling for coherent allocations
Rather than forcing GFP flags and DMA mask to be inconsistent,
GFP flags should be determined even for the fallback device
through dma_alloc_coherent_mask()/dma_alloc_coherent_gfp_flags().

This restores 64-bit behavior as it was prior to commits
8965eb1938 and
4a367f3a9d (not sure why there are
two of them), where GFP_DMA was forced on for 32-bit, but not
for 64-bit, with the slight adjustment that afaict even 32-bit
doesn't need this without CONFIG_ISA.

2c75910f1a x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend.
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules.  For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0.  If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff...  which is
probably not what the caller intended.

This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend).  This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.

89240ba059 x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit
This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.

The new implementation now returns the right value.

Therefore, printing the "mce: CPU supports <x> MCE banks"

that clutters the log significantly for systems with lots of

Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val
which is the correct value.

Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a
problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode
and the bau will not operate.

a5912f6b3e x86: Document linker script ASSERT() quirk
Older binutils breaks if ASSERT() is used without a sink
for the output.

For example 2.14.90.0.6 is known to be broken, the link
fails with:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
  ld:arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:678: parse error

Document this quirk in all three files that use it.

  See:    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kbuild&m=124930110427870&w=2
  See[2]: d2ba8b2 ("x86: Fix assert syntax in vmlinux.lds.S")

db8590f504 Revert "x86: linker script syntax nits"
This reverts commit e9a63a4e55.

This breaks older binutils, where sink-less asserts are broken.

e9a63a4e55 x86: linker script syntax nits
The linker scripts grew some use of weirdly wrong linker script syntax.
It happens to work, but it's not what the syntax is documented to be.
Clean it up to use the official syntax.

799e2205ec sched: Disable SD_PREFER_LOCAL for MC/CPU domains
Yanmin reported that both tbench and hackbench were significantly
hurt by trying to keep tasks local on these domains, esp on small
cache machines.

So disable it in order to promote spreading outside of the cache
domains.

89ccf465ab x86, perf_event: Rename 'performance counter interrupt'
In 'cdd6c482c9ff9c55475ee7392ec8f672eddb7be6', we renamed
Performance Counters -> Performance Events.

The name showed up in /proc/interrupts also needs a change. I use
PMI (Performance monitoring interrupt) here, since it is the
official name used in Intel's documents.
