kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, i386)
This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the
current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide
an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd.Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm

The EDD code would scan the command line as a fixed array, without
taking account of either whitespace, null-termination, the old
command-line protocol, late overrides early, or the fact that the
command line may not be reachable from INITSEG.This should fix those problems, and enable us to use a longer command
line.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

Based on a idea by Jeremy Fitzhardinge:
Replace the volatiles and memory clobbers in the PDA access with
telling gcc about access to a proxy PDA structure that doesn't
actually exist. But the dummy accesses give a defined ordering for
read/write accesses.Also add some memory barriers to the early GS initialization to
make sure no PDA access is moved before it.Advantage is some .text savings (probably most from better
code for accessing "current"):text data bss dec hex filename

This patch updates x86_64 linker script to pack any .note.* sections
into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file.To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires
us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need
to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the
sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will
default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many
changes to vmlinux.lds.S.The corresponding change is already made for i386 in -mm and I'd like
this patch to join it. The section to segment mappings do change as do
the segment flags so some time in -mm would be good for that reason as
well, just in case.In particular .data and .bss move from the text segment to the data
segment and .data.cacheline_aligned .data.read_mostly are put in the
data segment instead of a separate one.I think that it would be possible to exactly match the existing section
to segment mapping and flags but it would be a more intrusive change and
I'm not sure there is a reason for the existing layout other than it is
what you get by default if you don't explicitly specify something else.
If there is a reason for the existing layout then I will of course make
the more intrusive change. If there is no reason we could probably drop
the executable or writable flags from some segments but I don't know how
much attention is paid to them anyway so it might not be worth the
effort.The vsyscall related sections need to go in a different segment to the
normal data segment and so I invented a "user" segment to contain them.
I believe this should appear to be another data segment as far as the
kernel is concerned so the flags are setup accordingly.The notes will be used in the Xen paravirt_ops backend to provide
additional information to the domain builder. I am in the process of
converting the xen-unstable kernels and tools over to this scheme at the
moment to support this in the future.It has been suggested to me that the notes segment should have flags 0
(i.e. not readable) since it is only used by the loader and is not used
at runtime. For now I went with a readable segment since that is what
the i386 patch uses.AK: dropped NOTES addition right now because the needed infrastructure
for that is not merged yetSigned-off-by: Ian Campbell

In long mode the %cs is largely a relic. However there are a few cases
like iret where it matters that we have a valid value. Without this
patch it is possible to enter the kernel in startup_64 without setting
%cs to a valid value. With this patch we don't care what %cs value
we enter the kernel with, so long as the cs shadow register indicates
it is a privileged code segment.Thanks to Magnus Damm for finding this problem and posting the
first workable patch. I have moved the jump to set %cs down a
few instructions so we don't need to take an extra jump. Which
keeps the code simpler.Signed-of-by: Eric W. Biederman

Based on patch from David Rientjes , but
changed by AK.Optimizes the 64-bit hamming weight for x86_64 processors assuming they
have fast multiplication. Uses five fewer bitops than the generic
hweight64. Benchmark on one EMT64 showed ~25% speedup with 2^24

architectures that can also multiply fast.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

When compiling a 64-bit kernel on an Ubuntu 6.06 32bit system (whose GCC is also
a cross-compiler for x86_64) I've seen that head.o is compiled as a 64-bit file
(while it should not) and ld complaining about this during linking:
[AK: it happens on all systems with new binutils]ld: warning: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
`arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/head.o' is incompatible with i386 outputI've verified that removing -m64 from compilation flags to turn
"-m64 -traditional -m32" into "-traditional -m32" fixes the issue.Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso

ACPI went to great trouble to get the APIC version and CPU capabilities
of different CPUs before passing them to the mpparser. But all
that data was used was to print it out. Actually it even faked some data
based on the boot cpu, not on the actual CPU being booted.Remove all this code because it's not needed.

And replace all users with ordinary smp_processor_id. The function
was originally added to get some basic oops information out even
if the GS register was corrupted. However that didn't
work for some anymore because printk is needed to print the oops
and it uses smp_processor_id() already. Also GS register corruptions
are not particularly common anymore.This also helps the Xen port which would otherwise need to
do this in a special way because it can't access the local APIC.Cc: Chris Wright

From i386 x86-64 inherited code to force reserve the 640k-1MB area.
That was needed on some old systems.But we generally trust the e820 map to be correct on 64bit systems
and mark all areas that are not memory correctly.This patch will allow to use the real memory in there.
Or rather the only way to find out if it's still needed is to
try. So far I'm optimistic.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive
save/restore all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you
take an extra trap every context switch.The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the
trap is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the
previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously).After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until
there are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps
that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some
time.[akpm@osdl.org: place new task_struct field next to jit_keyring to save space]
