983d5dbdb2 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix SMP bootup with CONFIG_KDUMP enabled
o This fix was posted for i386 long back. Posting it for x86_64.

  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110380103229830&w=2

o This patch fixes the problem of secondary cpus boot up. This situation
  is faced when kernel is built for default locations like 16MB and
  onwards. In this configuration, only primary cpu (BP) comes and
  secondary cpus don't boot.

o Problem occurs because in trampoline code, lgdt is not able to load the
  GDT as it happens to be situated beyond 16MB. This is due to the fact
  that cpu is still in real mode and default operand size is 16bit.

o This patch uses lgdtl instead of lgdt to force operand size to 32
  instead of 16.

af5b980424 [PATCH] x86_64: ioapic virtual wire mode fix
o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual
  wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting
  timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode.

o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
  to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
  on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.

o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer
  interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero).
  This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a
  non-boot cpu.

1008fddcae [PATCH] x86_64: Memorize location of i8259 for reboots.
Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected.  This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.

Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.

Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.

In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.

And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

  A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is
  connected.  Now counter i has been replaced by apic.  counter i is having
  some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to
  IOAPIC.

05b3cbd8bb [PATCH] x86_64: Early initialization of cpu_to_node
Patch enables early intialization of cpu_to_node.
apicid_to_node is built by reading the SRAT table, from acpi_numa_init with
ACPI_NUMA and k8_scan_nodes with K8_NUMA.
x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init.
We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node.

Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from
correct node.

Change since last release:
Do not initialize early init_cpu_to_node for faking node cases.

Patch tested on TYAN dual core 4P board with K8 only, ACPI_NUMA.
Tested on EM64T NUMA. Also tested with numa=off, numa=fake, and  running
a kernel compiled with NUMA on a regular EM64 2 way SMP.

487472bc01 [PATCH] i386: Replace broken serialize_cpu in microcode driver with correct sync_core
Passing random input values in eax to cpuid is not a good idea
because the CPU will GPF for unknown ones.
Use the correct x86-64 version that exists for a longer time too.
This also adds a memory barrier to prevent the optimizer from
reordering.

c818a18146 [PATCH] x86_64: On Intel CPUs don't do an additional CPU sync before RDTSC
RDTSC serialization using cpuid is not needed for Intel platforms.
This increases gettimeofday performance.
