92ed0223ae [PATCH] x86_64: fix bug in csum_partial_copy_generic()
I was observing reproducible crashes on the "movw %bx,(%rsi)" instruction
below while a process in a recvfrom() system call was copying packet data
to user space.  The patch below fixes the exception table and causes the
crash to no longer reproduce.  Please apply.

3d483f4757 [PATCH] Fix sync_tsc hang
sync_tsc was using smp_call_function to ask the boot processor to report
it's tsc value.  smp_call_function performs an IPI_send_allbutself which is
a broadcast ipi.  There is a window during processor startup during which
the target cpu has started and before it has initialized it's interrupt
vectors so it can properly process an interrupt.  Receveing an interrupt
during that window will triple fault the cpu and do other nasty things.

Why cli does not protect us from that is beyond me.

The simple fix is to match ia64 and provide a smp_call_function_single.
Which avoids the broadcast and is more efficient.

This certainly fixes the problem of getting stuck on boot which was
very easy to trigger on my SMP Hyperthreaded Xeon, and I think
it fixes it for the right reasons.

36c4fd23cc [PATCH] x86_64 machine_kexec: Cleanup inline assembly.
In an uncensored copy of code from i386 to x86_64 I wound up
with inline assembly with the wrong constraints.  Use input
constraints instead of output constraints.

So I know the assembler will do the right thing specify the size
of the operand lidtq and lgdtq instead of just lidt and lgdt.

Make load_segments use an input constraint, and delete the macro fun.
Without having to reload %cs like I do on i386 this code is noticeably
simpler.

8c56ac3f3b [PATCH] x86_64: fix cpu_to_node setup for sparse apic_ids
While booting with SMT disabled in bios, when using acpi srat to setup
cpu_to_node[], sparse apic_ids create problems.

Without this patch, intel x86_64 boxes with hyperthreading disabled in the
bios (and which rely on srat for numa setup) endup having incorrect values in
cpu_to_node[] arrays, causing sched domains to be built incorrectly etc.

2a16a3007d [PATCH] x86_64: cpu hotplug changes kills nmi watchdog
When the x86_64 cpu hotplug changes went in it added a check in
default_do_nmi() which kills NMI delivery on any CPU but the BSP.

The NMI watchdog is brought up quite some time before the online bit is set
in num_online_cpus so this won't work very well.  The nmi watchdogs on cpus
that are not BSP will never be reprogrammed and no NMIs.

Why was this check added? How does an offlined cpu receive an NMI?

a2a892a236 [CRYPTO] Add x86_64 asm AES
Implementation:
===============
The encrypt/decrypt code is based on an x86 implementation I did a while
ago which I never published. This unpublished implementation does
include an assembler based key schedule and precomputed tables. For
simplicity and best acceptance, however, I took Gladman's in-kernel code
for table generation and key schedule for the kernel port of my
assembler code and modified this code to produce the key schedule as
required by my assembler implementation. File locations and Kconfig are
kept similar to the i586 AES assembler implementation.
It may seem a little bit strange to use 32 bit I/O and registers in the
assembler implementation but this gives the best code size. My
implementation takes one instruction more per round compared to
Gladman's x86 assembler but it doesn't require any stack for local
variables or saved registers and it is less serialized than Gladman's
code.
Note that all comparisons to Gladman's code were done after my code was
implemented. I did only use FIPS PUB 197 for the implementation so my
implementation is independent work.
If anybody has a better assembler solution for x86_64 I'll be pleased to
have my code replaced with the better solution.

Testing:
========
The implementation passes the in-kernel crypto testing module and I'm
running it without any problems on my laptop where it is mainly used for
dm-crypt.

Microbenchmark:
===============
The microbenchmark was done in userspace with similar compile flags as
used during kernel compile.
Encrypt/decrypt is about 35% faster than the generic C implementation.
As the generic C as well as my assembler implementation are both table
I don't really expect that there is much room for further
improvements though I'll be glad to be corrected here.
The key schedule is about 5% slower than the generic C implementation.
This is due to the fact that some more work has to be done in the key
schedule routine to fit the schedule to the assembler implementation.

Code Size:
==========
Encrypt and decrypt are together about 2.1 Kbytes smaller than the
generic C implementation which is important with regard to L1 cache
usage. The key schedule routine is about 100 bytes larger than the
generic C implementation.

Data Size:
==========
There's no difference in data size requirements between the assembler
implementation and the generic C implementation.

License:
========
Gladmans's code is dual BSD/GPL whereas my assembler code is GPLv2 only
(I'm  not going to change the license for my code). So I had to change
the module license for the x86_64 aes module from 'Dual BSD/GPL' to
'GPL' to reflect the most restrictive license within the module.

6772926bef [PATCH] kprobes: fix namespace problem and sparc64 build
The following renames arch_init, a kprobes function for performing any
architecture specific initialization, to arch_init_kprobes in order to
cleanup the namespace.

Also, this patch adds arch_init_kprobes to sparc64 to fix the sparc64 kprobes
build from the last return probe patch.

1cde8a1681 [PATCH] PCI: use the MCFG table to properly access pci devices (x86-64)
Now that we have access to the whole MCFG table, let's properly use it
for all pci device accesses (as that's what it is there for, some boxes
don't put all the busses into one entry.)

If, for some reason, the table is incorrect, we fallback to the "old
style" of mmconfig accesses, namely, we just assume the first entry in
the table is the one for us, and blindly use it.

545493917d [PATCH] PCI: add proper MCFG table parsing to ACPI core.
This patch is the first step in properly handling the MCFG PCI table.
It defines the structures properly, and saves off the table so that the
pci mmconfig code can access it.  It moves the parsing of the table a
little later in the boot process, but still before the information is
needed.

ba8af12f43 [PATCH] Return probe redesign: x86_64 specific changes
The following patch contains the x86_64 specific changes for the new
return probe design.  Changes include:
 * Removing the architecture specific functions for querying a return probe
   instance off a stack address
 * Complete rework onf arch_prepare_kretprobe() and trampoline_probe_handler()
 * Removing trampoline_post_handler()
 * Adding arch_init() so that now we handle registering the return probe
   trampoline instead of kernel/kprobes.c doing it

NOTE:
Note that with this new design, the dependency on calculating a pointer to
the task off the stack pointer no longer exist (resolving the problem of
interruption stacks as pointed out in the original feedback to this port.)

9ec4b1f356 [PATCH] kprobes: fix single-step out of line - take2
Now that PPC64 has no-execute support, here is a second try to fix the
single step out of line during kprobe execution.  Kprobes on x86_64 already
solved this problem by allocating an executable page and using it as the
scratch area for stepping out of line.  Reuse that.

ffaa8bd6c9 [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable
I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
HT but for the L2 cache too.  So it's up to you, either you turn it off
completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
patch.

This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;).  People selling
the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.

There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
(gettimeofday is forbidden of course).  The seccomp environment is
completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).

Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
same time.  Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
per-cpu-safe.

The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race.  So no need to
disable irqs in switch_to slow path.
