11e3a840cd x86: split loading percpu segments from loading gdt
Impact: split out a function, no functional change

Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on.  For
various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time.   It does,
however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no
pressing need to reload the gdt.

Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call
it directly.

Impact: cleanup, prepare for xen boot fix.

b38b066590 x86: filter CPU features dependent on unavailable CPUID levels
Impact: Fixes potential crashes on misconfigured systems.

Some CPU features require specific CPUID levels to be available in
order to function, as they contain information about the operation of
a specific feature.  However, some BIOSes and virtualization software
provide the ability to mask CPUID levels in order to support legacy
operating systems.  We try to enable such CPUID levels when we know
how to do it, but for the remaining cases, filter out such CPU
features when there is no way for us to support them.

Do this in one place, in the CPUID code, with a table-driven approach.

75a048119e x86: handle PAT more like other CPU features
Impact: Cleanup

When PAT was originally introduced, it was handled specially for a few
reasons:

- PAT bugs are hard to track down, so we wanted to maintain a
  whitelist of CPUs.
- The i386 and x86-64 CPUID code was not yet unified.

Both of these are now obsolete, so handle PAT like any other features,
including ordinary feature blacklisting due to known bugs.

bdbcdd4888 x86: uv cleanup
Impact: cleanup

Make the following uv related cleanups.

* collect visible uv related definitions and interfaces into uv/uv.h
  and use it.  this cleans up the messy situation where on 64bit, uv
  is defined properly, on 32bit generic it's dummy and on the rest
  undefined.  after this clean up, uv is defined on 64 and dummy on
  32.

* update uv_flush_tlb_others() such that it takes cpumask of
  to-be-flushed cpus as argument, instead of that minus self, and
  returns yet-to-be-flushed cpumask, instead of modifying the passed
  in parameter.  this interface change will ease dummy implementation
  of uv_flush_tlb_others() and makes uv tlb flush related stuff
  defined in tlb_uv proper.

b12d8db8fb x86: make pda a percpu variable
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

As pda is now allocated in percpu area, it can easily be made a proper
percpu variable.  Make it so by defining per cpu symbol from linker
script and declaring it in C code for SMP and simply defining it for
UP.  This change cleans up code and brings SMP and UP closer a bit.

1a51e3a0ae x86: fold pda into percpu area on SMP
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately.  %gs points
to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset.
This patch folds pda into percpu area.

Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of
the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40.  To achieve
this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is
added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu
area.

After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the
data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to
point to the actual pda.  This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need
to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0
already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas().

This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call
sites.

A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

for soon-to-follow changes.

88b094fb8d x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor
Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.

v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request
	 behind a hypervisor.c file
v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure.
	 This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function.

This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware.
The current way to check if we are on VMware is following,
#  check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000
   cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature.
#  if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string
   if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are
   under VMware.

The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products,
which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf.
Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor
port should never be accessed on native hardware.

This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of
calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized
environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from
the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware.
Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on
their platform.

We've had an extra field in cpuinfo_x86 which is cpu_index.
Unfortunately, voyager has never initialised this, although the only
noticeable impact seems to be that /proc/cpuinfo shows all zeros for
the processor ids.

Anyway, fix this by initialising the boot CPU properly and setting the
index when the secondaries update.

94f6bac105 x86: do not allow to optimize flag_is_changeable_p() (rev. 2)
The flag_is_changeable_p() is used by

      identify_cpu_without_cpuid(c);

  /* cyrix could have cpuid enabled via c_identify()*/
  if (!have_cpuid_p())
      return;

Otherwise, the gcc 3.4.6 optimizes these two calls
into one which make the code not working correctly.

Cyrix cpus have the CPUID instruction enabled before
the second call to the have_cpuid_p() but
it is not detected due to the gcc optimization.
Thus the ARR registers (mtrr like) are not detected
on such a cpu.

ba0593bf55 x86: completely disable NOPL on 32 bits
Completely disable NOPL on 32 bits.  It turns out that Microsoft
Virtual PC is so broken it can't even reliably *fail* in the presence
of NOPL.

This leaves the infrastructure in place but disables it
unconditionally.
