The Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) Processor x200 Family (codename: Knights
Landing) has an erratum where a processor thread setting the Accessed
or Dirty bits may not do so atomically against its checks for the
Present bit. This may cause a thread (which is about to page fault)
to set A and/or D, even though the Present bit had already been
atomically cleared.
These bits are truly "stray". In the case of the Dirty bit, the
thread associated with the stray set was *not* allowed to write to
the page. This means that we do not have to launder the bit(s); we
can simply ignore them.
If the PTE is used for storing a swap index or a NUMA migration index,
the A bit could be misinterpreted as part of the swap type. The stray
bits being set cause a software-cleared PTE to be interpreted as a
swap entry. In some cases (like when the swap index ends up being
for a non-existent swapfile), the kernel detects the stray value
and WARN()s about it, but there is no guarantee that the kernel can
always detect it.
When we have 64-bit PTEs (64-bit mode or 32-bit PAE), we were able
to move the swap PTE format around to avoid these troublesome bits.
But, 32-bit non-PAE is tight on bits. So, disallow it from running
on this hardware. I can't imagine anyone wanting to run 32-bit
non-highmem kernels on this hardware, but disallowing them from
running entirely is surely the safe thing to do.

The problem is in pmd_pfn_mask() and pmd_flags_mask(). These
helpers use PMD_PAGE_MASK to calculate resulting mask.
PMD_PAGE_MASK is 'unsigned long', not 'unsigned long long' as
phys_addr_t is on 32-bit PAE (ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT). As a
result, the upper bits of resulting mask get truncated.
pud_pfn_mask() and pud_flags_mask() aren't problematic since we
don't have PUD page table level on 32-bit systems, but it's
reasonable to keep them consistent with PMD counterpart.
Introduce PHYSICAL_PMD_PAGE_MASK and PHYSICAL_PUD_PAGE_MASK in
addition to existing PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK and reworks helpers to
use them.

Try to treat memcmp() in same way as memcpy() and memset(). Provide a

maps to builtin function.
Move optimized definition of memcmp() in boot/string.c. Now a user can
do #undef memcmp and link against string.c to use optimzied memcmp().
It also simplifies boot/compressed/string.c where we had to redefine
memcmp(). That extra definition is gone now.

Create a separate arch/x86/boot/string.h file to provide declaration of
some of the common string functions.
By default memcpy, memset and memcmp functions will default to gcc
builtin functions. If code wants to use an optimized version of any
of these functions, they need to #undef the respective macro and link
against a local file providing definition of undefed function.
For example, arch/x86/boot/* code links against copy.S to get memcpy()
and memcmp() definitions. arch/86/boot/compressed/* links against
compressed/string.c.
There are quite a few places in arch/x86/ where these functions are
used. Idea is to try to consilidate their declaration and possibly
definitions so that it can be reused.
I am planning to reuse boot/string.h in arch/x86/purgatory/ and use
gcc builtin functions for memcpy, memset and memcmp.

Impact: remove unused/broken code
The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.
No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.
In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
build problems already known, needs serious and significant
changes and probably a rewrite to support it.
CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.
While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
fashion.
So remove this inactive code for now.

x86 boot: proper use of ARRAY_SIZE instead of repeated E820MAX constant
caused these new warnings during a normal build:

I tried to fix them in log2.h, but it's difficult because the real mode
environment is completely different from a normal kernel environment. Instead
define an own ARRAY_SIZE macro in boot.h, similar to the other private
macros there.

yesterday I tried to reactivate my old 486 box and wanted to install a
current Linux with latest kernel on it. But it turned out that the
latest kernel does not boot because the machine crashes early in the
setup code.
After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the query_ist()
function. If this interrupt with that function is called the machine
simply locks up. It looks like a BIOS bug. Looking for a workaround for
this problem I wrote the attached patch. It checks for the CPUID
instruction and if it is not implemented it does not call the speedstep
BIOS function. As far as I know speedstep should be available since some
Pentium earliest.
Alan Cox observed that it's available since the Pentium II, so cpuid
levels 4 and 5 can be excluded altogether.
H. Peter Anvin cleaned up the code some more:
> Right in concept, but I dislike the implementation (duplication of the
> CPU detect code we already have). Could you try this patch and see if
> it works for you?
which, with a small modification to fix a build error with it the
resulting kernel boots on my machine.
