Being the foundation for reliable stack unwinding, this fixes CFI unwind
annotations in many low-level x86_64 routines, plus a config option
(available to all architectures, and also present in the previously sent
patch adding such annotations to i386 code) to enable them separatly
rather than only along with adding full debug information.

Instead of using a global spinlock to protect the state
of the remote TLB flush use a lock and state for each sending CPU.
To tell the receiver where to look for the state use 8 different
call vectors. Each CPU uses a specific vector to trigger flushes on other
CPUs. Depending on the received vector the target CPUs look into
the right per cpu variable for the flush data.
When the system has more than 8 CPUs they are hashed to the 8 available
vectors. The limited global vector space forces us to this right now.
In future when interrupts are split into per CPU domains this could be
fixed, at the cost of needing more IPIs in flat mode.
Also some minor cleanup in the smp flush code and remove some outdated
debug code.
Requires patch to move cpu_possible_map setup earlier.

In particular on systems where the local APIC space and node space
is very different from the Linux CPU number space.
Previously the older NUMA setup code directly parsing the K8
northbridge registers had some issues on 8 socket or dual core
systems. This patch fixes them.
This is mainly done by fixing some confusion between Linux
CPU numbers and local APIC ids. We now pass the local APIC IDs
to later code, which avoids mismatches.
Also add some heuristics to detect cases where the Hypertransport
nodeids and the local APIC IDs don't match, but are shifted
by a constant offset.
This is still all quite hackish, hopefully BIOS writers fill
in correct SRATs instead.

This fixes the problem with "Averatec 6240 pcmcia_socket0: unable to
apply power", which was due to the CardBus IOMEM register region being
allocated at an address that was actually inside the RAM window that had
been reserved for video frame-buffers in an UMA setup.
The BIOS _should_ have marked that region reserved in the e820 memory
descriptor tables, but did not.
It is fixed by rounding up the default starting address of PCI memory
allocations, so that we leave a bigger gap after the final known memory
location. The amount of rounding depends on how big the unused memory
gap is that we can allocate IOMEM from.
Based on example code by Linus.

The use of non-shortcut version of routines breaking CPU hotplug. The option
to select this via cmdline also is deleted with the physflat patch, hence
directly placing this code under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
We dont want to use broadcast mode IPI's when hotplug is enabled. This causes
bad effects in send IPI to a cpu that is offline which can trip when the cpu
is in the process of being kicked alive.

This patch fixes a bug in kprobes's handling of a corner case on i386 and
x86_64. On an SMP system, if one CPU unregisters a kprobe just after
another CPU hits that probepoint, kprobe_handler() on the latter CPU sees
that the kprobe has been unregistered, and attempts to let the CPU continue
as if the probepoint hadn't been hit. The bug is that on i386 and x86_64,
we were neglecting to set the IP back to the beginning of the probed
instruction. This could cause an oops or crash.
This bug doesn't exist on ppc64 and ia64, where a breakpoint instruction
leaves the IP pointing to the beginning of the instruction. I don't know
about sparc64. (Dave, could you please advise?)
This fix has been tested on i386 and x86_64 SMP systems. To reproduce the
problem, set one CPU to work registering and unregistering a kprobe
repeatedly, and another CPU pounding the probepoint in a tight loop.

it clear that these uses are safe from a memory-barrier viewpoint, but the

RCU. This has been tested on x86 and x86-64, which are the only
