On AMD SMM protected memory is part of the address map, but handled
internally like an MTRR. That leads to large pages getting split
internally which has some performance implications. Check for the
AMD TSEG MSR and split the large page mapping on that area
explicitely if it is part of the direct mapping.
There is also SMM ASEG, but it is in the first 1MB and already covered by
the earlier split first page patch.
Idea for this came from an earlier patch by Andreas Herrmann
On a RevF dual Socket Opteron system kernbench shows a clear
improvement from this:
(together with the earlier patches in this series, especially the
split first 2MB patch)
[lower is better]
no split stddev split stddev delta
Elapsed Time 87.146 (0.727516) 84.296 (1.09098) -3.2%
User Time 274.537 (4.05226) 273.692 (3.34344) -0.3%
System Time 34.907 (0.42492) 34.508 (0.26832) -1.1%
Percent CPU 322.5 (38.3007) 326.5 (44.5128) +1.2%
=> About 3.2% improvement in elapsed time for kernbench.
With GB pages on AMD Fam1h the impact of splitting is much higher of course,
since it would split two full GB pages (together with the first
1MB split patch) instead of two 2MB pages. I could not benchmark
a clear difference in kernbench on gbpages, so I kept it disabled
for that case
That was only limited benchmarking of course, so if someone
was interested in running more tests for the gbpages case
that could be revisited (contributions welcome)
I didn't bother implementing this for 32bit because it is very
unlikely the 32bit lowmem mapping overlaps into the TSEG near 4GB
and the 2MB low split is already handled for both.
[ mingo@elte.hu: do it on gbpages kernels too, there's no clear reason
why it shouldnt help there. ]

Add a new function to force split large pages into 4k pages.
This is needed for some followup optimizations.
I had to add a new field to cpa_data to pass down the information
that try_preserve_large_page should not run.
Right now no set_page_4k() because I didn't need it and all the
specialized users I have in mind would be more comfortable with
pure addresses. I also didn't export it because it's unlikely

This (simplified) piece of code didn't behave as expected due to
incorrect constraints in some of the bitops functions, when
X86_FEATURE_xxx is referring to other than the first long:
int test(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) {
if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_xxx))
clear_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_xxx);
return cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_xxx);
}
I'd really like understand, though, what the policy of (not) having a
"memory" clobber in these operations is - currently, this appears to
be totally inconsistent. Also, many comments of the non-atomic
functions say those may also be re-ordered - this contradicts the use
of "asm volatile" in there, which again I'd like to understand.
As much as all of these, using 'int' for the 'nr' parameter and
'void *' for the 'addr' one is in conflict with
Documentation/atomic_ops.txt, especially because bt{,c,r,s} indeed
take the bit index as signed (which hence would really need special
precaution) and access the full 32 bits (if 'unsigned long' was used
properly here, 64 bits for x86-64) pointed at, so invalid uses like
referencing a 'char' array cannot currently be caught.
Finally, the code with and without this patch relies heavily on the
-fno-strict-aliasing compiler switch and I'm not certain this really
is a good idea.
In the light of all of this I'm sending this as RFC, as fixing the
above might warrant a much bigger patch...

For eight socket system with dual core cpus installed, all cpus apic id

x86: define outb_pic and inb_pic to stop using outb_p and inb_p
The delay between io port accesses to the PIC is now defined using outb_pic

*PIC specific* timing requirements, rather than on bus-oriented timing, which
is not well calibrated.
Again, the primary reason for fixing this is to use proper delay strategy,
and in particular to fix crashes that can result from using port 80 writes
on machines that have resources on port 80, such as the ENE chips used by Quanta

Change size to unsigned long, becase caller and user all used unsigned long.
Also make bad_addr take an alignment parameter.

These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature,
the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the
pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs.
Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet.
Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the
boot line can be used to enable it. If enabled in the .config then
nogbpages boot option disables it.

people sometimes do crazy stuff like building really large static
arrays into their kernels or building allyesconfig kernels. Give
more space to the kernel and push modules up a bit: kernel has
512 MB and modules have 1.5 GB.
Should be enough for a few years ;-)

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully
be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the
low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big
honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros.
I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding
to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his
prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits
that actually implement it.

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.
Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

25-rc* stopped working with CONFIG_X86_VSMP on vSMP machines.
Looks like the vsmp irq ops got accidentally removed during merge of x86_64
pvops in 2.6.25. -- commit 6abcd98ffa removed
vsmp irq ops.
Tested with both CONFIG_X86_VSMP and without CONFIG_X86_VSMP, on vSMP and non
vSMP x86_64 machines.
Please apply.

This patch fixes the use of GPIO routines which are in the PCI
configuration space of the RDC321x, therefore reading/writing
to this space without spinlock protection can be problematic.
We also now request and free GPIOs and support the MGB100
board, previous code was very AR525W-centric.
