This patch uses vm_get_page_prot() to setup vma->vm_page_prot.
Though inside vm_get_page_prot() the protection flags is AND with
(VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC|VM_SHARED), it does not hurt correct code.

cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus.
When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes
3,145,728 bytes.
These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An
additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu
index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the
per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo().
cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP
case.

Here is a small patch to change the behavior of the PMU msr allocator
to avoid BUG_ON() when the MSR is unknwon. Instead, it now returns
ok, which means "I do not manage". The current allocator is not
yet managing the full set of PMU registers (e.g., GLOBAL_* on Core 2).
[watchdog] do not BUG_ON() in the MSR allocator if MSR is unknown, return ok
instead

This is from an earlier message from Christoph Lameter:
processor_core.c currently tries to determine the apicid by special casing
for IA64 and x86. The desired information is readily available via
cpu_physical_id()
on IA64, i386 and x86_64.

Convert cpu_llc_id from a static array sized by NR_CPUS to a per_cpu
variable. This saves sizeof(cpu_llc_id) * NR unused cpus. Access is
mostly from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions.
Note there's an additional change of the type of cpu_llc_id from int to
u8 for ARCH i386 to correspond with the same type in ARCH x86_64.

This patch converts the x86_cpu_to_apicid array to be a per cpu
variable. This saves sizeof(apicid) * NR unused cpus. Access is mostly
from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions.
MP_processor_info() is one of the functions that require access to the
x86_cpu_to_apicid array before the per_cpu data area is setup. For this
case, a pointer to the __initdata array is initialized in setup_arch()
and removed in smp_prepare_cpus() after the per_cpu data area is
initialized.
A second change is included to change the initial array value of ARCH
i386 from 0xff to BAD_APICID to be consistent with ARCH x86_64.

Both functions printk the same information, except for CRx and
debug registers in the show_registers() one and a bit different
manner. So move the common code into one place. This is already
done for x86_64, so I think it's worth having the same on i386.

Tested on various ICH3 and ICH4 platforms.
Because HPET is not officially documented for ICH3/4 and may not have
been validated by chipset folks, we're on thin ice here. I'd recommend
testing this patch in -hrt or -mm for a while and wait for

x86 NUMA kernels crash in the scheduler setup code if "nosmp" or
"maxcpus=0" is passed on the boot command line:
| Brought up 1 CPUs
| BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
| printing eip: c011f0b5 *pde = 00000000
| Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP

| Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted (2.6.23 #67)
| EIP: 0060:[<c011f0b5>] EFLAGS: 00010246 CPU: 0
| EIP is at sd_degenerate+0x35/0x40
the reason is sloppy spaghetti code in smpboot_32.c that resulted in a
missing map_cpu_to_logical_apicid() call - which also had the side-effect
of setting up the cpu_2_node[] entry for the lone CPU. That resulted in
node_to_cpumask(0) resulting in 00000000 - confusing the sched-domains
setup code.

Appended patch fixes an oops while changing the vsyscall sysctl.
I am sure no one tested this code before integrating into mainline :(
BTW, using ioremap() in vsyscall_sysctl_change() to get the virtual
address of a kernel symbol sounds like an over kill.. I wonder if we
can define a simple __va_vsymbol() which will return directly the
kernel direct mapping. comments in the code which says gcc has trouble
with __va(__pa()) sounds bogus to me. __pa() on a vsyscall address will
not work anyhow :(
And also, the whole nop out syscall in vsyscall page infrastructure
(vsyscall_sysctl_change()) is added to make some attacks difficult,
and yet I don't see this nop out being done by default. This area
requires more cleanups?
Fix an oops with __pa_vsymbol(). VSYSCALL_FIRST_PAGE is a fixmap index.
We want the starting virtual address of the vsyscall page and not the index.

While we were reviewing pageattr_32/64.c for unification,
Thomas Gleixner noticed the following serious SMP bug in
global_flush_tlb():
down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l);
up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
this is SMP-unsafe because list_replace_init() done on two CPUs in
parallel can corrupt the list.
This bug has been introduced about a year ago in the 64-bit tree:
commit ea7322decb974a4a3e804f96a0201e893ff88ce3
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Date: Thu Dec 7 02:14:05 2006 +0100
[PATCH] x86-64: Speed and clean up cache flushing in change_page_attr
down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
- dpage = xchg(&deferred_pages, NULL);
+ list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l);
up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
the xchg() based version was SMP-safe, but list_replace_init() is not.
So this "cleanup" introduced a nasty bug.
why this bug never become prominent is a mystery - it can probably be
explained with the (still) relative obscurity of the x86_64 architecture.
the safe fix for now is to write-lock init_mm.mmap_sem.

This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting.
POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register
but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more
accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase
will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU
frequency.
This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which
is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit.
The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of
these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read.
An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR
was read, which included the system call entry and exit path.
Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was
re-implemented.
I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6. 1st
column is the unpatch results. 2nd column is the results using the below
patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base. 4th and
5th columns are the results and % differnce from the base using the older
patch (SPURR read in syscall entry/exit path).
