A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the
check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing.
I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the
recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a
problem. Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally
passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the
callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they
have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails
out.
On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is
also bougs... by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the
NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs. Its just that the test is
being done too early.
I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always
too early. I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine
via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.

The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving
between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e.,
movl (%eax),%ds
movl %ds,(%eax)
To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a
16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66,
mov (%eax),%ds
mov %ds,(%eax)
should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The
assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support
movw (%eax),%ds
movw %ds,(%eax)
without the 0x66 prefix. I am enclosing patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels
here. The resulting kernel binaries should be unchanged as before, with
old and new assemblers, if gcc never generates memory access for
unsigned gsindex;
asm volatile("movl %%gs,%0" : "=g" (gsindex));
If gcc does generate memory access for the code above, the upper bits
in gsindex are undefined and the new assembler doesn't allow it.

This makes a trap on the 'iret' that returns us to user space
cause a nice clean SIGSEGV, instead of just a hard (and silent)
exit.
That way a debugger can actually try to see what happened, and
we also properly notify everybody who might be interested about
us being gone.
This loses the error code, but tells the debugger what happened
with ILL_BADSTK in the siginfo.
The patch to arch/i386/kernel/cpu/amd.c relies on the variable
cpu_core_id which is defined in i386/kernel/smpboot.c. This means it is
only present if CONFIG_X86_SMP is defined, not CONFIG_SMP (alternative
SMP harnesses won't have it, which is why it breaks voyager).

Randy please double check especially this one.
there may be a better solution.
Fix efi section references:
remove __initdata for struct efi efi_phys
and struct efi_memory_map memmap
Error: ./arch/i386/kernel/efi.o .text refers to 000000d3 R_386_32
.init.data
Error: ./arch/i386/kernel/efi.o .text refers to 000000ff R_386_32
.init.data
efi_memmap_walk (which is not __init nor static)
accesses both efi_phys and memmap.

- broken sibling_map setup in x86_64
- grouping all the core and HT related cpuinfo fields.
We are reasonably sure that adding new cpuinfo fields after "siblings" field,
will not cause any app failure. Thats because today's /proc/cpuinfo
format is completely different on x86, x86_64 and we haven't heard of any
x86 app breakage because of this issue. Grouping these fields will
result in more or less common format on all architectures (ia64, x86 and
x86_64) and will cause less confusion.

Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying
the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo.
It adds two new fields "core id" and "cpu cores" to x86 /proc/cpuinfo and the
"core id" field for x86_64("cpu cores" field is already present in x86_64).
Number of processor cores in a die is detected using cpuid(4) and this is
documented in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual (vol 2a)
(http://developer.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/index_new.htm#sdm_vol2a)
This patch also adds cpu_core_map similar to cpu_sibling_map.
Slightly hacked by AK.

x86_64 genapic mechanism should be aware of machines that use physical APIC
mode regardless of how many clusters/processors are detected.
ACPI 3.0 FADT makes this determination very simple by providing a feature
flag "force_apic_physical_destination_mode" to state whether the machine
unconditionally uses physical APIC mode.
Unisys' next generation x86_64 ES7000 will need to utilize this FADT
feature flag in order to boot the x86_64 kernel in the correct APIC mode.
This patch has been tested on both x86_64 commodity and ES7000 boxes.

Only display physical id/siblings when there are siblings or dual core.
In 2.6.11 I accidentially broke it and it was always displaying these
fields But for compatibility to all these /proc parsers around it is better
to do it in the old way again.

This moves the macro loaddebug from asm-i386/suspend.h to
asm-i386/processor.h, which is the place that makes sense for it to be
defined, removes the extra copy of the same macro in
arch/i386/kernel/process.c, and makes arch/i386/kernel/signal.c use the
macro in place of its expansion.
This is a purely cosmetic cleanup for the normal i386 kernel. However, it
is handy for Xen to be able to just redefine the loaddebug macro once
instead of also changing the signal.c code.

Fix the access-above-bottom-of-stack crash.
1. Allows to preserve the valueable optimization
2. Works for NMIs
3. Doesn't care whether or not there are more of the like instances
where the stack is left empty.
4. Seems to work for me without the crashes:)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
