Remove the incrementor setup entirely. As the incrementor value
differs according to clock speed and we would hope that the BIOS

acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:233!
with ACPI in the backtrace.
Adding some debugging output showed that ACPI calls
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
And ioremap/PAT does this check in 32bit, so addr+size wraps and the BUG
in reserve_memtype() triggers incorrectly.
BUG_ON(start >= end); /* end is exclusive */
But reserve_memtype already uses u64:
int reserve_memtype(u64 start, u64 end,
so the 32bit truncation must happen in the caller. Presumably in ioremap
when it passes this information to reserve_memtype().
This patch does this computation in 64bit.

Do we actually want these DirectMap lines in the x86 /proc/meminfo?
I can see they're interesting to CPA developers and TLB optimizers,
but they don't fit its usual "where has all my memory gone?" usage.
If they are to stay, here are some fixes.
1. On x86_32 without PAE, they're not 2M but 4M pages: no need to
mess with the internal enum, but show the right name to users.
2. Many machines can never show anything but 0 for DirectMap1G,
so suppress that line unless direct_gbpages are really enabled.
3. The unit in /proc/meminfo is kB not number of pages: HugePages
messed that up, but they're an example to regret not to follow.
4. Once we use kB, it's easy to see that 1GB has gone missing (which
explains why CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG=y soon wraps DirectMap2M negative):
because head_64.S's level2_ident_pgt entries were not counted.
My fix is not ideal, but works for more and for less than 1G,
and avoids interfering with early bootup pagetable contortions.

When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed
to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed.
Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush,
which can add dirty data back to the cache. On some AMD platforms,
additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because
of this dirty data.
Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before
halting. Tie into an assembly line so the compile will not
reorder it. Add some documentation explaining what is going

cdev lock_kernel pushdown patch last May.
The BUG can be reproduced with these commands:
# mknod fubar c 202 8 <-- pick a number less than NR_CPUS that is not
the number of an online CPU
# cat fubar

AMD SB700 based systems with spread spectrum enabled use a SMM based
HPET emulation to provide proper frequency setting. The SMM code is
initialized with the first HPET register access and takes some time to
complete. During this time the config register reads 0xffffffff. We
check for max. 1000 loops whether the config register reads a non
0xffffffff value to make sure that HPET is up and running before we go
further. A counting loop is safe, as the HPET access takes thousands
of CPU cycles. On non SB700 based machines this check is only done
once and has no side effects.
