d359752407 kgdb: fix NMI hangs
This patch fixes the hang regression with kgdb when the NMI interrupt
comes in while the master core is returning from an exception.

Adjust the NMI logic such that KGDB will not stop NMI exceptions from
occurring by in general returning NOTIFY_DONE.  It is not possible to
distinguish the debug NMI sync vs the normal NMI apic interrupt so
kgdb needs to catch the unknown NMI if it the debugger was previously
active on one of the cpus.

re-using trampoline code. Stack setup was fixed to clear high 16bits

ac23d4ee3f x86: support for new UV apic
UV supports really big systems. So big, in fact, that the APICID register
does not contain enough bits to contain an APICID that is unique across all
cpus.

The UV BIOS supports 3 APICID modes:

	- legacy mode. This mode uses the old APIC mode where
	  APICID is in bits [31:24] of the APICID register.

	- x2apic mode. This mode is whitebox-compatible. APICIDs
	  are unique across all cpus. Standard x2apic APIC operations
	  (Intel-defined) can be used for IPIs. The node identifier
	  fits within the Intel-defined portion of the APICID register.

	- x2apic-uv mode. In this mode, the APICIDs on each node have
	  unique IDs, but IDs on different node are not unique. For example,
	  if each mode has 32 cpus, the APICIDs on each node might be
	  0 - 31. Every node has the same set of IDs.
	  The UV hub is used to route IPIs/interrupts to the correct node.
	  Traditional APIC operations WILL NOT WORK.

In x2apic-uv mode, the ACPI tables all contain a full unique ID (note:
exact bit layout still changing but the following is close):

	nnnnnnnnnnlc0cch
		n = unique node number
		l = socket number on board
		c = core
		h = hyperthread

Only the "lc0cch" bits are written to the APICID register. The remaining bits are
supplied by having the get_apic_id() function "OR" the extra bits into the value
read from the APICID register. (Hmmm.. why not keep the ENTIRE APICID register
in per-cpu data....)

The x2apic-uv mode is recognized by the MADT table containing:
	  oem_id = "SGI"
	  oem_table_id = "UV-X"

a65d1d644c x86: increase size of APICID
Increase the number of bits in an apicid from 8 to 32.

By default, MP_processor_info() gets the APICID from the
mpc_config_processor structure. However, this structure limits
the size of APICID to 8 bits. This patch allows the caller of
MP_processor_info() to optionally pass a larger APICID that will
be used instead of the one in the mpc_config_processor struct.

7219bebd72 x86: add comments to describe the new api's in cacheflush.h
The new cacheflush.h API's didn't have any comments describing
how they're to be used yet and the conventions around these functions.
This patch adds comments to this effect; in order for that to be
a logical series, some prototypes had to move around.

537e331364 x86 floppy: kill off the 'register' keyword from header
When compilers became generally better at optimizing code than humans, the
register keyword became mostly useless. For the floppy driver it certainly
is since it's so slow compared to the rest of the system that optimizing
access to a single variable or two isn't going to make any real difference
So let's just leave it to the compiler - it'll do a better job anyway.

This patch does away with a few register keywords in the x86 floppy driver.

8346ea17aa x86: split large page mapping for AMD TSEG
On AMD SMM protected memory is part of the address map, but handled
internally like an MTRR. That leads to large pages getting split
internally which has some performance implications. Check for the
AMD TSEG MSR and split the large page mapping on that area
explicitely if it is part of the direct mapping.

There is also SMM ASEG, but it is in the first 1MB and already covered by
the earlier split first page patch.

Idea for this came from an earlier patch by Andreas Herrmann

On a RevF dual Socket Opteron system kernbench shows a clear
improvement from this:
(together with the earlier patches in this series, especially the
split first 2MB patch)

[lower is better]
              no split stddev         split  stddev    delta
Elapsed Time   87.146 (0.727516)     84.296 (1.09098)  -3.2%
User Time     274.537 (4.05226)     273.692 (3.34344)  -0.3%
System Time    34.907 (0.42492)      34.508 (0.26832)  -1.1%
Percent CPU   322.5   (38.3007)     326.5   (44.5128)  +1.2%

=> About 3.2% improvement in elapsed time for kernbench.

With GB pages on AMD Fam1h the impact of splitting is much higher of course,
since it would split two full GB pages (together with the first
1MB split patch) instead of two 2MB pages.  I could not benchmark
a clear difference in kernbench on gbpages, so I kept it disabled
for that case

That was only limited benchmarking of course, so if someone
was interested in running more tests for the gbpages case
that could be revisited (contributions welcome)

I didn't bother implementing this for 32bit because it is very
unlikely the 32bit lowmem mapping overlaps into the TSEG near 4GB
and the 2MB low split is already handled for both.

[ mingo@elte.hu: do it on gbpages kernels too, there's no clear reason
                 why it shouldnt help there. ]

1de87bd40e x86: re-add rdmsrl_safe
RDMSR for 64bit values with exception handling.

Makes it easier to deal with 64bit valued MSRs. The old 64bit code
base had that too as checking_rdmsrl(), but it got dropped somehow.
