a73ad3331f x86: unify the implementation of FPU traps
On 32 bits, we may suffer IRQ 13, or supposedly we might have a buggy
implementation which gives spurious trap 16.  We did not check for
this on 64 bits, but there is no reason we can't make the code the
same in both cases.  Furthermore, this is presumably rare, so do the
spurious check last, instead of first.

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.

	    x86: update add-cpu_mask_to_apicid_and to use struct cpumask*

broke interrupt delivery on x2apic platforms.  As x2apic cluster mode uses
logical delivery mode, we need to use logical apicid instead of physical apicid
in x2apic_cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()

Impact: fixes the broken interrupt delivery issue on generic x2apic platforms.

Impact: fix lguest, clean up

32-bit lguest used used_vectors to record vectors, but that model of

Try enable that for 64bit, and the array is used for all vectors that
are not managed by vector_irq per_cpu array.

Also kill system_vectors[], that is now a duplication of the
used_vectors bitmap.

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.)
