ae8d04e2ec x86 Fix VMI crash on boot in 2.6.28-rc8
VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation.  To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.

This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

be5d5350a9 x86: MSI start irq numbering from nr_irqs_gsi
Impact: sanitize MSI irq number ordering from top-down to bottom-up

Increase new MSI IRQs starting from nr_irqs_gsi (which is somewhere below
256), instead of decreasing from NR_IRQS. (The latter method can result
in confusingly high IRQ numbers - if NR_CPUS is set to a high value and
NR_IRQS scales up to a high value.)

Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk

Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)

This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
versions are handled.

Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested

We can not put that into x86_quirks, because that is __initdata.
So try to move that to genapic, and add update_genapic in x86_quirks.

later we even could use that stub to:

 1. autodetect CONFIG_ES7000_CLUSTERED_APIC
 2. more correct inquire_remote_apic with apic_verbosity setting.

88b094fb8d x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor
Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.

v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request
	 behind a hypervisor.c file
v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure.
	 This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function.

This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware.
The current way to check if we are on VMware is following,
#  check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000
   cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature.
#  if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string
   if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are
   under VMware.

The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products,
which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf.
Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor
port should never be accessed on native hardware.

This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of
calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized
environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from
the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware.
Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on
their platform.

9301975ec2 Merge branch 'genirq-v28-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.

The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]).  The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.

57cac4d188 kdump: make elfcorehdr_addr independent of CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
  but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.  For
  example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
  kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
  So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
  able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
  calgary iommu accordingly.

o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
  CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.

o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
  (Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
  otherwise that would have been the best place).

o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
  second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.

o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
  elfcorehdr_addr.  I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
  Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
  broken on sh.

fc38151947 x86: add X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K
This bugzilla:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237

Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first
64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events.

Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems.
Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this,
so we try to be robust by default.

Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K
of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via
CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n.

Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other
early reservations.

1e22436eba x86: reserve low 64K on AMI and Phoenix BIOS boxen
there's multiple reports about suspend/resume related low memory
corruption in this bugzilla:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237

the common pattern is that the corruption is caused by the BIOS,
and that it affects some portion of the first 64K of physical RAM.

So add a DMI quirk

This will waste 64K RAM on 'good' systems too, but without knowing
the exact nature of this BIOS memory corruption this is the safest
approach.

This might as well solve a wide range of suspend/resume breakages
under Linux.

5649b7c303 x86: add DMI quirk for AMI BIOS which corrupts address 0xc000 during resume
Alan Jenkins and Andy Wettstein reported a suspend/resume memory
corruption bug and extensively documented it here:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237

The bug is that the BIOS overwrites 1K of memory at 0xc000 physical,
without registering it in e820 as reserved or giving the kernel any
idea about this.

Detect AMI BIOSen and reserve that 1K.

We paint this bug around with a very broad brush (reserving that 1K on all
AMI BIOS systems), as the bug was extremely hard to find and needed several
weeks and lots of debugging and patching.

The bug was found via the CONFIG_X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y debug feature,
if similar bugs are suspected then this feature can be enabled on other
systems as well to scan low memory for corrupted memory.

 RIP 0x10

Such a crash is possible if the CPU in this system is a 64-bit
processor which doesn't support NX (ie, old Intel P4 -based64-bit
processors).

Certainly, if we support such processors, then we should start with
_PAGE_NX initially clear in __supported_pte_flags, and then set it once
we've established that the processor does indeed support NX.  That will
prevent early_ioremap - or anything else - from trying to set it.

The simple fix is to simply call check_efer() earlier.

5394f80f92 x86: check for and defend against BIOS memory corruption
Some BIOSes have been observed to corrupt memory in the low 64k.  This
change:
 - Reserves all memory which does not have to be in that area, to
   prevent it from being used as general memory by the kernel.  Things
   like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however.
 - Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it.
 - Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on

3a6ddd5f18 x86: fix VMI for early params
while fixing a different bug i moved the call to vmi_init before
early params could be parsed.

This broke the vmi specific commandline parameters.
Fix that, by moving vmi initialization after kernel has got a chance to
parse early parameters.

516cbf3730 x86, bootup: add built-in kernel command line for x86 (v2)
Allow x86 to support a built-in kernel command line.  The built-in
command line can override the one provided by the boot loader, for
those cases where the boot loader is broken or it is difficult
to change the command line in the the boot loader.

OK. This version changes absolutely nothing if CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not
set (the default).  Also, no space is appended even when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is set, but the builtin string is empty.  This is less sloppy all the way
around, IMHO.

Note that I use the same option names as on other arches for
this feature.

6b3560229d x86: fix 2 section mismatch warnings - find_and_reserve_crashkernel
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xcd1f): Section mismatch in reference from the function find_and_reserve_crashkernel() to the function .init.text:find_e820_area()
The function find_and_reserve_crashkernel() references
the function __init find_e820_area().
This is often because find_and_reserve_crashkernel lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of find_e820_area is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xcd38): Section mismatch in reference from the function find_and_reserve_crashkernel() to the function .init.text:reserve_bootmem_generic()
The function find_and_reserve_crashkernel() references
the function __init reserve_bootmem_generic().
This is often because find_and_reserve_crashkernel lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of reserve_bootmem_generic is wrong.

find_and_reserve_crashkernel is called from __init function (reserve_crashkernel)
and calls 2 __init functions (find_e820_area, reserve_bootmem_generic),
so mark it __init

b74548e76a x86: fix 2.6.27rc1 cannot boot more than 8CPUs
Jeff Chua reported that booting a !bigsmp kernel on a 16-way box
hangs silently.

this is a long-standing issue, smp start AP cpu could check the
apic id >=8 etc before trying to start it.

achieve this by moving the def_to_bigsmp check later and skip the
apicid id > 8

31343d8a50 x86: Fix broken VMI in 2.6.27-rc..
The lowmem mapping table created by VMI need not depend on max_low_pfn
at all.  Instead we now create an extra large mapping which covers all
possible lowmem instead of the physical ram that is actually available.

This allows the vmi initialization to be done before max_low_pfn could
be computed. We also move the vmi_init code very early in the boot process
so that nobody accidentally breaks the fixmap dependancy.

9e882c9282 x86: call early_cpu_init at the same point
Call early_cpu_init() at the same (early) point in setup_arch().
The x86_64 code was calling it relatively late, after when other arch
code need to do cpu-related setup which depends on it.
