Impact: cleanup
Refactor the MP-table parsing code via the introduction of the
following helper functions:
skip_entry()
smp_reserve_bootmem()
check_irq_src()
check_slot()
To simplify the code flow and to reduce the size of the
following oversized functions: smp_read_mpc(), smp_scan_config().
There should be no impact to functionality.

Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers
Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence
we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths.
x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need
a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory
stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI.
Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

Impact: fix spurious IRQs
During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous
irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt
starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after
modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches.
This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as
multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While
there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup
IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler
can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can
see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple
vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(),
other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local
cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled).
When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that
vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and
do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to
service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector
allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler.
This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors
at the same time.
[ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to
the best of our knowledge it has never been seen. The stable
maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ]

Impact: simplification
In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the
io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt
remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that
remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI.
With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification
(with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin
number). Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from
the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be
edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE.
So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic
cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC.
With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying
the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE.
And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the
local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote
IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE.
This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping.

interrupt-remapping
Impact: make kexec work with x2apic
disable_IO_APIC() gets called during crashdump aswell, which configures the
IO-APIC/LAPIC so that legacy interrupts can be delivered for the kexec'd kernel.
In the presence of interrupt-remapping, we need to change the
interrupt-remapping configuration aswell as modifying IO-APIC for virtual wire
B mode.
To keep things simple during the crash, use virtual wire A mode
(for which we don't need to touch io-apic and interrupt-remapping tables).

Commit ee6f779b9e0851e2f7da292a9f58e0095edf615a ("filp->f_pos not
correctly updated in proc_task_readdir") changed the proc code to use
filp->f_pos directly, rather than through a temporary variable. In the
process, that caused the operations to be done on the full 64 bits, even
though the offset is never that big.
That's all fine and dandy per se, but for some unfathomable reason gcc
generates absolutely horrid code when using 64-bit values in switch()
statements. To the point of actually calling out to gcc helper
functions like __cmpdi2 rather than just doing the trivial comparisons
directly the way gcc does for normal compares. At which point we get
link failures, because we really don't want to support that kind of
crazy code.
Fix this by just casting the f_pos value to "unsigned long", which
is plenty big enough for /proc, and avoids the gcc code generation issue.

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of
the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another
way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize
properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.
The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).
However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.
So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.
In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer)
to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC
calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow
the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value.
That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest
way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after
programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the
counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

Impact: fix crash on VMI (VMware)
When we generate a call sequence for calling a paravirtualized
function, we presume that the generated code is "call *0xXXXXX",
which is a 6 byte opcode; this is larger than a normal
direct call, and so we can patch a direct call over it.
At the moment, however we give gcc enough rope to hang us by
putting the address in a register and generating a two byte
indirect-via-register call. Prevent this by explicitly
dereferencing the function pointer and passing it into the
asm as a constant.
This prevents crashes in VMI, as it cannot handle unpatchable
callsites.

In the async encryption-complete function (kcryptd_async_done), the
crypto_async_request passed in may be different from the one passed to
crypto_ablkcipher_encrypt/decrypt. Only crypto_async_request->data is
guaranteed to be same as the one passed in. The current
kcryptd_async_done uses the passed-in crypto_async_request directly
which may cause the AES-NI-based AES algorithm implementation to panic.
This patch fixes this bug by only using crypto_async_request->data,
which points to dm_crypt_request, the crypto_async_request passed in.
The original data (convert_context) is gotten from dm_crypt_request.

Fix it by properly checking for device name length (including
terminating zero).

Impact: help prevent extinction of species
The Tasmanian Devil is a shy iconic Australian creature named for its
spine-chilling screech. It is threatened with extinction due to a
scientifically interesting but horrific transmissible facial cancer.
This one is standing in for Tux for one release using the far less-known
Devil Facial Tux Disguise.

filp->f_pos only get updated at the end of the function. Thus d_off of those
dirents who are in the middle will be 0, and this will cause a problem in
glibc's readdir implementation, specifically endless loop. Because when overflow
occurs, f_pos will be set to next dirent to read, however it will be 0, unless
the next one is the last one. So it will start over again and again.
There is a sample program in man 2 gendents. This is the output of the program
running on a multithread program's task dir before this patch is applied:
$ ./a.out /proc/3807/task
--------------- nread=128 ---------------
i-node# file type d_reclen d_off d_name
506442 directory 16 1 .

506446 directory 16 0 3861
506447 directory 16 0 3862
506448 directory 16 8 3863
This is the output after this patch is applied

Impact: Bug fix on UP
Referring commit cc3ca22063784076bd240fda87217387a8f2ae92,
Peter removed __cpuinit annotations for mce_cpu_features()
and its successor functions, which caused troubles on UP
configurations.
However the intel_init_cmci() was introduced after that and
it also has __cpuinit annotation even though it is called from
mce_cpu_features(). Remove the annotation from that function
too.

Looking at the source, there seems to be a missing * to match my DMI
string. I mean for newer IBM and Lenovo's laptops you match either one
of the following:
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:*:svnIBM:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnIBM:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnLENOVO:*:svnLENOVO:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnLENOVO:*");
While for older Thinkpads, you do this (for instance):
IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("1[0,3,6,8,A-G,I,K,M-P,S,T]");
with IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS being MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:bvr" __type "ET??WW")
Note there's no * terminating the string. As result, udev doesn't load
anything because modprobe cannot find anything matching this (my
machine actually):
udevtest: run: '/sbin/modprobe dmi:bvnIBM:bvr1IET71WW(2.10):bd06/16/2006:svnIBM:pn236621U:pvrNotAv
