c2d1cec1c7 x86: cleanup remaining cpumask_t ops in smpboot code
Impact: use new cpumask API to reduce memory and stack usage

Allocate the following local cpumasks based on the number of cpus that
are present.  References will use new cpumask API.  (Currently only
modified for x86_64, x86_32 continues to use the *_map variants.)

    cpu_callin_mask
    cpu_callout_mask
    cpu_initialized_mask
    cpu_sibling_setup_mask

Provide the following accessor functions:

    struct cpumask *cpu_sibling_mask(int cpu)
    struct cpumask *cpu_core_mask(int cpu)

Other changes are when setting or clearing the cpu online, possible
or present maps, use the accessor functions.

2fdf66b491 cpumask: convert shared_cpu_map in acpi_processor* structs to cpumask_var_t
Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new API.

This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines
configured with large NR_CPUS.  cpumask_t gets replaced by
cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or
struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

9628937d5b x86: cleanup some remaining usages of NR_CPUS where s/b nr_cpu_ids
Impact: Reduce future system panics due to cpumask operations using NR_CPUS

Insure that code does not look at bits >= nr_cpu_ids as when cpumasks are
allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, these extra bits will not be defined.

Also some other minor updates:

   * change in to use cpu accessor function set_cpu_present() instead of
     directly accessing cpu_present_map w/cpu_clear() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c]

   * use cpumask_of() instead of &cpumask_of_cpu() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c]

   * optimize some cpu_mask_to_apicid_and functions.

0ca59dd948 tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3
Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime

On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state.
On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but
it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data
is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a
crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime.

Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too.

Changes on v2:

We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the
current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing.

This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where
the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper
function used at this stage.

2f18d1e8d0 x86, perfcounters: add support for fixed-function pmcs
Impact: extend performance counter support on x86 Intel CPUs

Modern Intel CPUs have 3 "fixed-function" performance counters, which
count these hardware events:

    Instr_Retired.Any
    CPU_CLK_Unhalted.Core
    CPU_CLK_Unhalted.Ref

Add support for them to the performance counters subsystem.

Their use is transparent to user-space: the counter scheduler is
extended to automatically recognize the cases where a fixed-function
PMC can be utilized instead of a generic PMC. In such cases the
generic PMC is kept available for more counters.

The above fixed-function events map to these generic counter hw events:

        PERF_COUNT_INSTRUCTIONS
        PERF_COUNT_CPU_CYCLES
        PERF_COUNT_BUS_CYCLES

(The 'bus' cycles are in reality often CPU-ish cycles, just with a fixed
 frequency.)

Impact: fix wrong cache sharing detection on platforms supporting > 8 bit apicid's

In the presence of extended topology eumeration leaf 0xb provided
by cpuid, 32bit extended initial_apicid in cpuinfo_x86 struct will be
updated by detect_extended_topology(). At this instance, we should also
reinit the apicid (which could also potentially be extended to 32bit).

With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the
per cpu's cpuinfo_x86 struct, resulting in wrong cache sharing topology etc
detected by init_intel_cacheinfo().

We should not try to save and restore cpus_allowed on current.

We can't use work_on_cpu() here, since it's in the hotplug cpu path
(if anyone else tries to get the hotplug lock from a workqueue we
could deadlock against them).

Fortunately, we can just use smp_call_function_single() since the
function can run from an interrupt.

cf9b303e55 x86: re-enable MCE on secondary CPUS after suspend/resume
Impact: fix disabled MCE after resume

Don't prevent multiple initialization of MCEs.

Back from early prehistory mcheck_init() has a reentry check. Presumably
that was needed in very old kernels to prevent it entering twice.

But as Andreas points out this prevents CPU hotplug (and therefore resume)
to correctly reinitialize MCEs when a AP boots again after being
offlined.

Just drop the check.

40fb17152c x86: support always running TSC on Intel CPUs
Impact: reward non-stop TSCs with good TSC-based clocksources, etc.

Add support for CPUID_0x80000007_Bit8 on Intel CPUs as well. This bit means
that the TSC is invariant with C/P/T states and always runs at constant
frequency.

With Intel CPUs, we have 3 classes
* CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate and does not stop n C-states
* CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate, but will stop in deep C-states
* CPUs where TSC rate will vary based on P/T-states and TSC will stop in deep
  C-states.

To cover these 3, one feature bit (CONSTANT_TSC) is not enough. So, add a
second bit (NONSTOP_TSC). CONSTANT_TSC indicates that the TSC runs at
constant frequency irrespective of P/T-states, and NONSTOP_TSC indicates
that TSC does not stop in deep C-states.

CPUID_0x8000000_Bit8 indicates both these feature bit can be set.
We still have CONSTANT_TSC _set_ and NONSTOP_TSC _not_set_ on some older Intel
CPUs, based on model checks. We can use TSC on such CPUs for time, as long as
those CPUs do not support/enter deep C-states.
