e11952b971 [CPUFREQ] p4-clockmod: fix support for Core
Support for Core CPUs was broken in two ways in speedstep-lib: for x86_64,
we missed a MSR definition; for both x86_64 and i386, the FSB calculation
was wrong by four (it's a quad-pumped bus). Also increase the accuracy
of the calculation.

3d4a7ef3d3 [CPUFREQ] Fix the bug in duplicate freq elimination code in acpi-cpufreq
Fix the bug in duplicate states elimination in acpi-cpufreq.

Bug: Due to duplicate state elimiation in the loop earlier, the number
of valid_states can be less than perf->state_count, in which case
freq_table was ending up with some garbage/uninitialized entries
in the table.

8b9c6671f8 [CPUFREQ] speedstep-centrino should ignore upper performance control bits
On some systems there could be bits set in the upper half of
the control value provided by the _PSS object.  These bits are
only relevant for cpufreq drivers that use IO ports which are not
currently supported by the speedstep-centrino driver.  The current
MSR oriented code assumes that upper bits are not set and thus
fails to work correctly when they are.  e.g. the control and status
value equality check failed on the IBM x3650 even though the ACPI
spec allows inequality.

0231606785 [PATCH] hotplug CPU: clean up hotcpu_notifier() use
There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add
#ifdefs.

the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:

365bff806e [PATCH] i386: fix MTRR code
Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.

While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
  is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
  might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
  physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
  startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value
  in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get
  used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR)
- the generic range validation code checked that the end of the
  to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been
  the start of the range
- when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only
  when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new
  region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's
  documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also
  compatible with the respective opposite in the other

f95d47caae [PATCH] i386: Use %gs as the PDA base-segment in the kernel
This patch is the meat of the PDA change.  This patch makes several related
changes:

1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel.  This means that on
   entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
   __KERNEL_PDA.

2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
   is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
   state can be accessed.

   Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
   (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
   is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
   complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).

3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
   registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
   be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
   register state in a signal context.

4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
   code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

6211119580 [PATCH] i386: Initialize the per-CPU data area
When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it.  The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.

This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init().  Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs.  This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.

In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.

9b48341752 [PATCH] i386: fix buggy MTRR address checks
Fix checks that failed to realize that values are 4-kB-unit-sized (note the
format strings in this same diff context which *do* realize the unit size,
via appended "000"!).  Also fix an incorrect below-1MB area check (as
gathered from Jan Beulich's unapplied patch at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0411.1/1378.html ) Update
mtrr_add_page() docu to make 4-kB-sized calculation more obvious.

Given several further items mentioned in Jan's patch mail, all in all MTRR
code seems surprisingly buggy, for a surprisingly long period of time (many
years).  Further work/investigation would be useful.

TBD Note that my patch is pretty much UNTESTED, since I can only verify that it
TBD successfully boots my machine, but I cannot test against actual buggy
TBD hardware which would require these (formerly broken) checks.  Long -mm
TBD simmering would make sense, especially since these now-working checks might
TBD turn out to have adverse effects on unaffected hardware.

Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR
to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will
make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of
frequency is going on.

Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due
to underlying hardware coordination or TM2.
Example:
* CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated.
* CPU 1 running at highest frequency.
* CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to
  some intermediate frequency based on utilization.
* Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to
  run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest).
* When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency
  feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change
  was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it
  thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at
  intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

a6f6e6e6ab [CPUFREQ][7/8] acpi-cpufreq: Fix get of current frequency breakage
Recent speedstep-centrino unification onto acpi-cpufreq patchset broke
cpuinfo_cur_freq interface in /sys/../cpuinfo/, when MSR was used for
transitions. Attached patch fixes that breakage.

83d0515bbb [CPUFREQ][4/8] acpi-cpufreq: Mark speedstep-centrino ACPI as deprecated
Mark ACPI hooks in speedstep-centrino as deprecated. Change the order in which
speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq (when both are in kernel) will be
added. First driver to be tried is now acpi-cpufreq, followed by
speedstep-centrino.

Add a note in feature-removal-schedule to mark this deprecation.

dde9f7ba60 [CPUFREQ][3/8] acpi-cpufreq: Pull in MSR based transition support
Add in the support for Intel Enhanced Speedstep - MSR based transitions.
With this change, the ACPI based support in speedstep-centrino can be
deprecated and duplicate code in that driver can be marked for removal.
Much easier to maintain and support this way. This also reduces the
user misconfigurations and questions on which driver is to be used
under which CPUs to support Enhanced Speedstep.

fe27cb3588 [CPUFREQ][2/8] acpi: reorganize code to make MSR support addition easier
Some clean up and redsign of the driver. Mainly making it easier to add
support for multiple sub-mechanisms of changing frequency. Currently this
driver supports only ACPI SYSTEM_IO address space. With the changes
below it is easier to add support for other address spaces like Intel
Enhanced Speedstep which uses MSR (ACPI FIXED_FEATURE_HARDWARE) to do the
transitions.

519ce3ec76 [CPUFREQ][1/8] acpi-cpufreq: software coordination and handle all CPUs in the group
This patchset has refresh/rebase of a bunch of patches/bugfixes related to
acpi-cpufreq that were sent earlier on this list.

patch 1/8
 Patch that fixes a bug in swcoordination code in acpi-cpufreq

patch 2/8 through patch 7/8
 Grand unification of ACPI based speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq drivers.

 ACPI allows P-state transitions in multiple ways. Like using IO ports or using
 processor native method (MSR). Without this patch, IO port based P-state
 transitions are handled in acpi-cpufreq driver and MSR based transitions on
 Intel CPUs are handled in speedstep-centrino driver. Even though most of the
 code in these two drivers should be similar, except for final changing/checking
 of frequency (one driver does it using IO port and other does it through
 MSR), we have duplicated code in these two drivers. There are also issues
 around BIOSes supporting both MSR and IO port and which driver should be
 loaded first in standard installations.

 The patchset combines functionality of these two driver into acpi-cpufreq
 driver. ACPI based functionality in speedstep-centrino is marked deprecated
 and will be removed in future. speedstep-centrino will continue to work
 on systems that depend on older non-ACPI table based P-state chanes.

 * 2/8 - Patch that reorganizes the code in acpi-cpufreq, cleaning it up
 a little and making it easier to add MSR support later.
 * 3/8 - Pull in the MSR based transition support into acpi-cpufreq.
 * 4/8 - Mark speedstep-centrino deprecated. Change the order in Makefile to
 load acpi-cpufreq first and speedstep-centrino later, in cases where both
 are configured in.
 * 5/8 - lindent acpi-cpufreq.c
 * 6/8 - Minor change to eliminate the check of current frequency on
 notifications. We can use last set frequency instead.
 * 7/8 - Make cpufreq->get of acpi_cpufreq work correctly again.

 There will be a patch in future that removes ACPI based support in
 speedstep-centrino in coming months.

patch 8/8
Add support for IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR and get the actual frequency
from these MSRs and use it to determine the next frequency target in ondemand
governor

This patch:
There is a bug in software coordination patch in acpi-cpufreq, due to which
frequency will only be set on first CPU of any coordinated group.
Bug identified by Denis, was not recognised earlier as there are no platforms
yet that use software coordination with acpi-cpufreq driver.
