In-kernel user breakpoints are created using functions in which
we pass breakpoint parameters as individual variables: address,
length and type.
Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across
archictectures that may support this api later as these may have
more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure
instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into
a generic hardware breakpoint parameter structure.

Explicitly mmap the UV chipset MMR address ranges used to
access blade-local registers. Although these same MMRs are also
mmaped at higher addresses, the low range is more
convenient when accessing blade-local registers.
The low range addresses always alias to the local blade
regardless of the blade id.

When we schedule out a breakpoint from the cpu, we also
incidentally remove the "Global exact breakpoint" flag from the
breakpoint control register. It makes us losing the fine grained
precision about the origin of the instructions that may trigger
breakpoint exceptions for the other breakpoints running in this
cpu.

iommu=soft boot option forces the kernel to use swiotlb.
( This has the side-effect of enabling the swiotlb over the
GART if this boot option is provided. This is the desired
behavior of the swiotlb boot option and works like that
for all other hw-IOMMU drivers. )

This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
similar use-cases.
Why is this needed:
Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
happened by:
- any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
- thermal limitations
- hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations
Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
- Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
frequency
- Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.
All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
- powernow-k8
- powernow-k7
- acpi-cpufreq
Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
# echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2600000
2600000
2200000
2200000
# #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit
2600000
2600000
2800000
2800000
# #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation

Set the transition latency to value smaller than CPUFREQ_ETERNAL so
governors other than "performance" work (like the "ondemand" one).
The value is found in "AMD PowerNow! Technology Platform Design Guide for
Embedded Processors" dated December 2000 (AMD doc #24267A). There is the
answer to one of FAQs on page 40 which states that suggested complete transition

In commit 0de51088e6, we introduced the
use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for
VENDOR_INTEL. However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also
need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to
activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq.
Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for
Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's. The resulting behavior
of a current mainline kernel on such systems is: acpi-cpufreq
loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes. However, the CPU stays at
a single frequency
This trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and
VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.

The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The
function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it
meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and
0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function
returns a negative value.
Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups
because the event->pmu was not set until after
hw_perf_event_init().

Move the find_smp_config() call to before bootmem is initialized.
Use reserve_early() instead of reserve_bootmem() in it.
This simplifies the code, we only need to call find_smp_config()
once and can remove the now unneeded reserve parameter from
x86_init_mpparse::find_smp_config.
We thus also reduce x86's dependency on bootmem allocations.

For some devices the ACPI table may define unity map
requirements which must me met when the IOMMU is enabled. So
we need to attach devices to their domains as early as
possible so that these mappings are in place when needed.
This patch assigns the domains right after they are
allocated. Otherwise this can result in I/O page faults
before a driver binds to a device and BIOS is still using
it.

CPU to node mapping is set via the following sequence:
1. numa_init_array(): Set up roundrobin from cpu to online node
2. init_cpu_to_node(): Set that according to apicid_to_node[]
according to srat only handle the node that
is online, and leave other cpu on node
without ram (aka not online) to still
roundrobin.
3. later call srat_detect_node for Intel/AMD, will use first_online
node or nearby node.
Problem is that setup_per_cpu_areas() is not called between 2 and 3,
the per_cpu for cpu on node with ram is on different node, and could
put that on node with two hops away.
So try to optimize this and add find_near_online_node() and call
init_cpu_to_node().

Rather than having X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES and X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT
(with inconsistent defaults), just having the latter suffices as
the former can be easily calculated from it.
To be consistent, also change X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES to
X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, and set it to 7 (128 bytes) for NUMA
to account for last level cache line size (which here matters
more than L1 cache line size).
Finally, make sure the default value for X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT,
when X86_GENERIC is selected, is being seen before that for the
individual CPU model options (other than on x86-64, where
GENERIC_CPU is part of the choice construct, X86_GENERIC is a
separate option on ix86).
