Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime
On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state.
On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but
it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data
is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a
crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime.
Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too.
Changes on v2:
We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the
current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing.
This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where
the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper
function used at this stage.

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.

Impact: fix wakeup_secondary_cpu with hotplug
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.

Impact: fix secondary-CPU wakeup/init path with numaq and es7000
While looking at wakeup_secondary_cpu for WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI:
|#ifdef WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI
|/*
| * Poke the other CPU in the eye via NMI to wake it up. Remember that the normal
| * INIT, INIT, STARTUP sequence will reset the chip hard for us, and this
| * won't ... remember to clear down the APIC, etc later.
| */
|static int __devinit
|wakeup_secondary_cpu(int logical_apicid, unsigned long start_eip)
|{
| unsigned long send_status, accept_status = 0;
| int maxlvt;
|...
| if (APIC_INTEGRATED(apic_version[phys_apicid])) {
| maxlvt = lapic_get_maxlvt();
I noticed that there is no warning about undefined phys_apicid...
because WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI and WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_INIT can not be
defined at the same time. So NUMAQ is using wrong wakeup_secondary_cpu.
WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI, WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_INIT and
WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_MIP are variants of a weird and fragile
preprocessor-driven "HAL" mechanisms to specify the kind of secondary-CPU
wakeup strategy a given x86 kernel will use.
The vast majority of systems want to use INIT for secondary wakeup - NUMAQ
uses an NMI, (old-style-) ES7000 uses 'MIP' (a firmware driven in-memory
flag to let secondaries continue).
So convert these mechanisms to x86_quirks and add a
->wakeup_secondary_cpu() method to specify the rare exception
to the sane default.
Extend genapic accordingly as well, for 32-bit.
While looking further, I noticed that functions in wakecup.h for numaq
and es7000 are different to the default in mach_wakecpu.h - but smpboot.c
will only use default mach_wakecpu.h with smphook.h.
So we need to add mach_wakecpu.h for mach_generic, to properly support
numaq and es7000, and vectorize the following SMP init methods:
int trampoline_phys_low;
int trampoline_phys_high;
void (*wait_for_init_deassert)(atomic_t *deassert);
void (*smp_callin_clear_local_apic)(void);
void (*store_NMI_vector)(unsigned short *high, unsigned short *low);
void (*restore_NMI_vector)(unsigned short *high, unsigned short *low);
void (*inquire_remote_apic)(int apicid);

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.

It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window
between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted
bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion.
Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit
operations on it.
Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it
anymore.
It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit
(since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes
code.

x86: allow number of additional hotplug CPUs to be set at compile time, V2
The default number of additional CPU IDs for hotplugging is determined
by asking ACPI or mptables how many "disabled" CPUs there are in the
system, but many systems get this wrong so that e.g. a uniprocessor
machine gets an extra CPU allocated and never switches to single CPU
mode.
And sometimes CPU hotplugging is enabled only for suspend/hibernate
anyway, so the additional CPU IDs are not wanted. Allow the number
to be set to zero at compile time.
Also, force the number of extra CPUs to zero if hotplugging is disabled
which allows removing some conditional code.
Tested on uniprocessor x86_64 that ACPI claims has a disabled processor,
with CPU hotplugging configured.
("After" has the number of additional CPUs set to 0)
Before: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 2, nr_node_ids 1
After: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 1, nr_node_ids 1
[Changed the name of the option and the prompt according to Ingo's
suggestion.]

Commit 4a701737 ("x86: move prefill_possible_map calling early, fix")
is the wrong fix: prefill_possible_map() needs to be available
even when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set. A followon patch will do that.
Fix this correctly by making prefill_possible_map() available even when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set. The function is needed so that
the number of possible CPUs can be determined.
Tested on uniprocessor machine with CPU hotplug disabled.
From boot log:
Before: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 512, nr_node_ids 1
After: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 1, nr_node_ids 1

Secondary cpus start with local interrupts disabled.
start_secondary() first initializes the new cpu, then it enables the
local interrupts. (although interrupts are enabled within smp_callin()
as well).
Right now, the local interrupts are enabled as a side effect of calling
ipi_call_lock_irq().
The attached patch clarifies when local interrupts are enabled.

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got

For some reason we had two parsers registered for maxcpus=. One in init/main.c
and another in arch/x86/smpboot.c. So I nuked the one in arch/x86.
Also 64-bit kernels used to handle maxcpus= as documented in
Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt. CPUs with 'id > maxcpus' are initialized
but not booted. 32-bit version for some reason ignored them even though
all the infrastructure for booting them later is there.
In the current mainline both 64 and 32 bit versions are broken.
This patch restores the correct behaviour. I've tested x86_64 version on
4- and 8- way Core2 and 2-way Opteron based machines. Various config
combinations SMP, !SMP, CPU_HOTPLUG, !CPU_HOTPLUG.
Booted with maxcpus=1 and maxcpus=4, etc. Everything is working as expected.
So far we've received two reports from different people confirming that 32-bit
version also works fine, both on dual core laptops and 16way server machines.

bit me last time was accessing non existent per cpu memory for non

Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time. Remove the
X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum. Remove
apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends. The use of
ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
used it for readability's sake.
I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
and here it is. Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
"feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
have disregarded it.
I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
have left changes to them out. The option will get removed from them at
the next run.
Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
everywhere.
