d9bcc01d58 x86, mtrr: replace MTRRcap_MSR with msr-index's MSR_MTRRcap
Use standard msr-index.h's MSR declaration and no need to declare again.

[ Impact: cleanup, no object code change ]

f0348c438c x86: MTRR workaround for system with stange var MTRRs
Impact: don't trim e820 according to wrong mtrr

Ozan reports that his server emits strange warning.
it turns out the BIOS sets the MTRRs incorrectly.

Ignore those strange ranges, and don't trim e820,
just emit one warning about BIOS

bf3647c44b x86: tone down mtrr_trim_uncached_memory() warning
kerneloops.org is reporting a lot of these warnings that come due to
vmware not setting up any MTRRs for emulated CPUs:

| Reported 709 times (14696 total reports)
| BIOS bug (often in VMWare) where the MTRR's are set up incorrectly
| or not at all
|
| This warning was last seen in version 2.6.29-rc2-git1, and first
| seen in 2.6.24.
|
| More info:
|   http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=mtrr_trim_uncached_memory

Keep a one-liner KERN_INFO about it - so that we have so notice if empty
MTRRs are caused by native hardware/BIOS weirdness.

converting MTRR layout from continous to discrete, some time could run out of
MTRRs. So add gran_sizek to prevent that by dumpping small RAM piece less than
gran_sizek.

previous trimming only can handle highest_pfn from mtrr to end_pfn from e820.
when have more than 4g RAM installed, there will be holes below 4g. so need to
check ram below 4g is coverred well.

20651af9ac x86: fix mttr trimming
Pavel Emelyanov reported that his networking card did not work
and bisected it down to:

"
The commit

  093af8d7f0
  x86_32: trim memory by updating e820

broke my e1000 card: on loading driver says that

  e1000: probe of 0000:04:03.0 failed with error -5

and the interface doesn't appear.
"

on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT,
and highest_addr will always less 4G.

So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than
4g RAM is installed on a 32-bit kernel.

9a6b344ea9 x86: remove long dead cyrix mtrr code
cyrix_arr_init was #if 0 all the way back to at least v2.6.12.

This was the only place where arr3_protected was set to anything
but zero.  Eliminate this variable.

093af8d7f0 x86_32: trim memory by updating e820
when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the
RAM and need to update e820.

reuse some code on 64-bit as well.

here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move
mtrr_bp_init early.

The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system:

from:

 [    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable)

to:

 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable)
 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved)

According to Justin it makes quite a difference:

|  When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386,
|  takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).

99fc8d424b x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrs
On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached.  Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e.  right around init time).

This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match.  A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.

Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.

This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

2d2ee8de5f x86: mtrr use type bool [RESEND AGAIN]
This is a janitorish patch to 1) remove private TRUE/FALSE #def's in
favor of using the standard enum from linux/stddef.h and 2) switch the
variables holding those values to type 'bool' (from linux/types.h)
since it both seems more appropriate and allows for potentially better
optimization.

As a truly minor aside, I removed a couple of comments documenting
a 'do_safe' parameter that seems to no longer exist.

86ef5c9a8e cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()
Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.
