This patch: - makes ret_from_sys_call no longer global (all external users were previously switched to use int_ret_from_sys_call) - adjusts placement of a CFI_{REMEMBER,RESTORE}_STATE pair to better fit logic flow - eliminates an unnecessary pair of CFI_{REMEMBER,RESTORE}_STATE - glues together function- and unwinder-wise the previously separate system_call and int_ret_from_sys_call function fragments Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Add o the x86-64 tree a bunch of MSRs related to performance monitoring for the processors based on Intel Core microarchitecture. It also adds some architectural MSRs for PEBS.

Insert the Local APIC and IO APIC(s) into the resource tree. It allows the APIC resources to be visible within /proc/iomem. The patch also takes into account IO APIC(s) mapped in the PCI space by deferring the insertion until after PCI has allocated its necessary resources.

Chuck Ebbert authored
i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature. Chuck reports that this gives him a +/- 0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark x86_64 description follows: 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.

Clean up the espfix code: - Introduced PER_CPU() macro to be used from asm - Introduced GET_DESC_BASE() macro to be used from asm - Rewrote the fixup code in asm, as calling a C code with the altered %ss appeared to be unsafe - No longer altering the stack from a .fixup section - 16bit per-cpu stack is no longer used, instead the stack segment base is patched the way so that the high word of the kernel and user %esp are the same. - Added the limit-patching for the espfix segment.

This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since iBCS stopped being supported. This means it is now possible to actually set an empty LDT segment. In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register. If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL descriptor.

Fix checks that failed to realize that values are 4-kB-unit-sized (note the format strings in this same diff context which *do* realize the unit size, via appended "000"!). Also fix an incorrect below-1MB area check (as gathered from Jan Beulich's unapplied patch at http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0411.1/1378.html ) Update mtrr_add_page() docu to make 4-kB-sized calculation more obvious. Given several further items mentioned in Jan's patch mail, all in all MTRR code seems surprisingly buggy, for a surprisingly long period of time (many years). Further work/investigation would be useful. TBD Note that my patch is pretty much UNTESTED, since I can only verify that it TBD successfully boots my machine, but I cannot test against actual buggy TBD hardware which would require these (formerly broken) checks. Long -mm TBD simmering would make sense, especially since these now-working checks might TBD turn out to have adverse effects on unaffected hardware.

megaraid's MMIO RD*/WR* macros directly call readl() and writel() with an 'unsigned long' argument. This throws a warning, but is otherwise OK because the 'unsigned long' is really the result of ioremap(). This setup is also OK because the variable can hold an ioremap cookie /or/ a PCI I/O port (PIO). However, to fix the warning thrown when readl() and writel() are passed an unsigned long cookie, I introduce 'void __iomem *mmio_base', holding the same value as 'base'. This will silence the warnings, and also cause an oops whenever these MMIO-only functions are ever accidentally passed an I/O address.

CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly good reason. Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no effect. The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.
