b94da1e4b7 i386: expand exception 3 DO_TRAP macro
The int3 exception was already takes as an interrupt and
do_int3 does not fit in the new DO_ERROR macro. This patch
just expands the DO_TRAP macro and rearranges the code a
bit.

No functional changes intended.

61aef7d249 i386: prepare to convert exceptions to interrupts
There is some macro magic in traps_32.c to construct standard
exception dispatch functions. This patch renames the DO_ERROR-
like macros to DO_TRAP, and introduces new DO_ERROR ones that
conditionally reenable interrupts explicitly, like x86_64.

No code changes.

762db43470 i386: remove kprobes' restore_interrupts in favour of conditional_sti
x86_64 uses a helper function conditional_sti in traps_64.c which
is equal to restore_interrupts in kprobes.h. The only user of
restore_interrupts is in traps_32.c. Introduce conditional_sti
for i386 and remove restore_interrupts.

0cefa5b9b0 arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c: Clarify when irq processing begins.
Secondary cpus start with local interrupts disabled.
start_secondary() first initializes the new cpu, then it enables the
local interrupts. (although interrupts are enabled within smp_callin()
as well).

Right now, the local interrupts are enabled as a side effect of calling
ipi_call_lock_irq().

The attached patch clarifies when local interrupts are enabled.

04944b793e x86: xsave: set FP, SSE bits in the xsave header in the user sigcontext
If a processor implementation discern that a processor state component is in
its initialized state, it may modify the corresponding bit in the
xsave header.xstate_bv as '0'. State in the memory layout setup by 'xsave'
will be consistent with the bit values in the header.

During signal handling, legacy applications may change the FP/SSE bits
in the sigcontext memory layout without touching the FP/SSE header bits
in the xsave header. So always set FP/SSE bits in the xsave header
while saving the sigcontext state to the user space. During signal return,
this will enable the kernel to capture any changes to the FP/SSE bits by the
legacy applications which don't touch xsave headers.

xsave aware apps can change the xstate_bv in the xsave header aswell
as change any contents in the memory layout. xrestor as part of sigreturn
will capture all the changes.

8d89adf44c x86: SB450: deprioritize DMI quirks
This PCI ID based quick should be a full solution for the IRQ0 override
related slowdown problem on SB450 based systems:

  33fb0e4: x86: SB450: skip IRQ0 override if it is not routed to INT2 of IOAPIC

Emit a warning in those cases where the DMI quirk triggers but
the PCI ID based quirk didnt.

If this warning does not trigger then we can phase out the DMI quirks.

33fb0e4eb5 x86: SB450: skip IRQ0 override if it is not routed to INT2 of IOAPIC
On some HP nx6... laptops (e.g. nx6325) BIOS reports an IRQ0 override
but the SB450 chipset is configured such that timer interrupts goe to
INT0 of IOAPIC.

Check IRQ0 routing and if it is routed to INT0 of IOAPIC skip the
timer override.

[ This more generic PCI ID based quirk should alleviate the need for
  dmi_ignore_irq0_timer_override DMI quirks. ]

e85ceae910 kgdb, x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMI
Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest,
I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test.
Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I
noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via
DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first
invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here.

e84956f92a x86 ACPI: Blacklist two HP machines with buggy BIOSes
There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which
connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that
if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the
thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them
become 16 degrees Celsius).  As a result, thermal throttling kicks in
and knock the system down to its shoes.

Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.
To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be
affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case).

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as
a regression from 2.6.26.

On my box it was caused by:

commit 691874fa96

    Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org>

and the whole story is described in this (huge) thread:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121358440508410&w=4

Matthew Garrett told us about that happening on the nx6125:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121396307411930&w=4

and then Maciej analysed the breakage on the basis of a DSDT from the
nx6325:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121401068718826&w=4

As far as the Dmitry's and Jason's boxes are concerned, I recognized the
symptoms and asked them to verify that the blacklisting helped.

It appears that the buggy BIOS code has been copy-pasted to the entire
range of machines, for no good reason.
