Intel latest cpu add 6 new features, refer http://software.intel.com/file/36945
The new feature cpuid listed as below:
1. FMA CPUID.EAX=01H:ECX.FMA[bit 12]
2. MOVBE CPUID.EAX=01H:ECX.MOVBE[bit 22]
3. BMI1 CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.BMI1[bit 3]
4. AVX2 CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.AVX2[bit 5]
5. BMI2 CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.BMI2[bit 8]
6. LZCNT CPUID.EAX=80000001H:ECX.LZCNT[bit 5]
This patch expose these features to guest.
Among them, FMA/MOVBE/LZCNT has already been defined, MOVBE/LZCNT has
already been exposed.
This patch defines BMI1/AVX2/BMI2, and exposes FMA/BMI1/AVX2/BMI2 to guest.

On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now
unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16
bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much.
However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for
the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit
59e97e4d6fbc ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative").
So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good
idea.
On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly
hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had
used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts
have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and
rwsem).
That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment
would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section,
causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction
replacement.
So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's
unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the
linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the
proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive
were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious
bug to begin with.

This is an assembler implementation of the SHA1 algorithm using the
Supplemental SSE3 (SSSE3) instructions or, when available, the
Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX).
Testing with the tcrypt module shows the raw hash performance is up to
2.3 times faster than the C implementation, using 8k data blocks on a
Core 2 Duo T5500. For the smalest data set (16 byte) it is still 25%
faster.
Since this implementation uses SSE/YMM registers it cannot safely be
used in every situation, e.g. while an IRQ interrupts a kernel thread.
The implementation falls back to the generic SHA1 variant, if using
the SSE/YMM registers is not possible.
With this algorithm I was able to increase the throughput of a single
IPsec link from 344 Mbit/s to 464 Mbit/s on a Core 2 Quad CPU using
the SSSE3 variant -- a speedup of +34.8%.
Saving and restoring SSE/YMM state might make the actual throughput
fluctuate when there are FPU intensive userland applications running.
For example, meassuring the performance using iperf2 directly on the
machine under test gives wobbling numbers because iperf2 uses the FPU
for each packet to check if the reporting interval has expired (in the
above test I got min/max/avg: 402/484/464 MBit/s).
Using this algorithm on a IPsec gateway gives much more reasonable and
stable numbers, albeit not as high as in the directly connected case.
Here is the result from an RFC 2544 test run with a EXFO Packet Blazer
FTB-8510:
frame size sha1-generic sha1-ssse3 delta
64 byte 37.5 MBit/s 37.5 MBit/s 0.0%
128 byte 56.3 MBit/s 62.5 MBit/s +11.0%
256 byte 87.5 MBit/s 100.0 MBit/s +14.3%
512 byte 131.3 MBit/s 150.0 MBit/s +14.2%
1024 byte 162.5 MBit/s 193.8 MBit/s +19.3%
1280 byte 175.0 MBit/s 212.5 MBit/s +21.4%
1420 byte 175.0 MBit/s 218.7 MBit/s +25.0%
1518 byte 150.0 MBit/s 181.2 MBit/s +20.8%
The throughput for the largest frame size is lower than for the
previous size because the IP packets need to be fragmented in this
case to make there way through the IPsec tunnel.

A simple implementation that only supports the word size and does not
have a fallback mode (would require a spinlock).
Add 32 and 64 bit support for cmpxchg_double. cmpxchg double uses
the cmpxchg8b or cmpxchg16b instruction on x86 processors to compare
and swap 2 machine words. This allows lockless algorithms to move more
context information through critical sections.
Set a flag CONFIG_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE to signal that support for double word
cmpxchg detection has been build into the kernel. Note that each subsystem
using cmpxchg_double has to implement a fall back mechanism as long as
we offer support for processors that do not implement cmpxchg_double.

Add support for newly documented SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution Protection) CPU
feature flag.
SMEP prevents the CPU in kernel-mode to jump to an executable page
that has the user flag set in the PTE. This prevents the kernel from
executing user-space code accidentally or maliciously, so it for
example prevents kernel exploits from jumping to specially prepared
user-mode shell code.

Add this_cpu_has() which determines if the current cpu has a certain
ability using a segment prefix and a bit test operation.
For that we need to add bit operations to x86s percpu.h.
Many uses of cpu_has use a pointer passed to a function to determine
the current flags. That is no longer necessary after this patch.
However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where
cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr. The rest is work for later.

This patch adds support for AMD family 15h core counters. There are
major changes compared to family 10h. First, there is a new perfctr
msr range for up to 6 counters. Northbridge counters are separate
now. This patch only adds support for core counters. Second, certain
events may only be scheduled on certain counters. For this we need to
extend the event scheduling and constraints.
We use cpu feature flags to calculate family 15h msr address offsets.
This way we later can implement a faster ALTERNATIVE() version for
this.

doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to

gcc 3 is too braindamaged to be able to compile static_cpu_has() --
apparently it can't tell that a constant passed to an inline function

don't use an ancient, known-to-optimize-poorly compiler.

introduce a static patching version of [boot_]cpu_has(). This is run

PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH,
carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be
found at:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/
Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with
kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the
acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash. That is, request in soft
IRQ context will be defered to the cryptd kernel thread.

Move the APERFMPERF capacility into a X86_FEATURE flag so that it
can be used outside of the acpi cpufreq driver.

Booting a 32-bit kernel on Magny-Cours results in the following panic:
...
Using APIC driver default
...
Overriding APIC driver with bigsmp
...

Kernel panic - not syncing: Boot APIC ID in local APIC unexpected (16 vs 0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-rcX #2
Call Trace:
[<c05194da>] ? panic+0x38/0xd3
[<c0743102>] ? native_smp_prepare_cpus+0x259/0x31f
[<c073b19d>] ? kernel_init+0x3e/0x141
[<c073b15f>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x141
[<c020325f>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
The reason is that default_get_apic_id handled extension of local APIC
ID field just in case of XAPIC.
Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and
bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel
panic.
This patch introduces a Linux specific feature flag to indicate
support for extended APIC id (8 bits instead of 4 bits width) and sets
the flag on AMD CPUs if applicable.

setup_force_cpu_cap() only have one user (Xen guest code),
but it should not reuse cleared_cpu_cpus, otherwise it
will have problems on SMP.
Need to have a separate cpu_cpus_set array too, for forced-on
flags, beyond the forced-off flags.
Also need to setup handling before all cpus caps are combined.
[ Impact: fix the forced-set CPU feature flag logic ]

Add support for Always Running APIC timer, CPUID_0x6_EAX_Bit2.
This bit means the APIC timer continues to run even when CPU is
in deep C-states.
The advantage is that we can use LAPIC timer on these CPUs
always, and there is no need for "slow to read and program"
external timers (HPET/PIT) and the timer broadcast logic
and related code in C-state entry and exit.
