d7e7528bcd Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure.  This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall.  The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness.  We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure.  We also define a generic
is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
value is < -MAX_ERRNO.  This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.

We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
instead of macros.  The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
for the regs.  (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs).  Since the audit
function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
arch correct structure to dereference it.

The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.

In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code as the return value.  But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
regs_return_value() as regs[3].  I have no idea which one is correct, but this
patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].

For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3].  regs->gprs[3] is
always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
before calling the audit code when appropriate.

5e6292c0f2 signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked
Abstract the code sequence for adding a signal handler's sa_mask to
current->blocked because the sequence is identical for all architectures.
Furthermore, in the past some architectures actually got this code wrong,
so introduce a wrapper that all architectures can use.

I realized I had mistyped the if statement in commit
3603a2512f and stuck the ')' in

This factors out the AMD native MMCONFIG discovery so we can use it
outside amd_bus.c.

amd_bus.c reads AMD MSRs so it can remove the MMCONFIG area from the
PCI resources.  We may also need the MMCONFIG information to work
around BIOS defects in the ACPI MCFG table.

c284b42aba x86: Skip cpus with apic-ids >= 255 in !x2apic_mode
If the x2apic mode is disabled for reasons like interrupt-remapping
not available etc, then we need to skip the logical cpu bringup of
apic-id's >= 255. Otherwise as the platform is in xapic mode, init/startup
IPI's will consider only the low 8-bits and there is a possibility of
re-sending init/startup IPI's to the logical cpu that is already online.

This will avoid potential reboots/unpredictable behavior etc.

a31bc32760 x86, x2apic: Allow "nox2apic" to disable x2apic mode setup by BIOS
Currently "nox2apic" boot parameter was not enabling x2apic mode if the cpu,
kernel are all capable of enabling x2apic mode and the OS handover
happened in xapic mode.

However If the bios enabled x2apic prior to OS handover, using "nox2apic"
boot parameter had no effect.

If the boot cpu's apicid is < 255, enable "nox2apic" boot parameter to
disable the x2apic mode setup by the bios. This will enable the kernel to
fallback to xapic mode and bringup only the cpu's which has apic-id < 255.

fb209bd891 x86, x2apic: Fallback to xapic when BIOS doesn't setup interrupt-remapping
On some of the recent Intel SNB platforms, by default bios is pre-enabling
x2apic mode in the cpu with out setting up interrupt-remapping.
This case was resulting in the kernel to panic as the cpu is already in
x2apic mode but the OS was not able to enable interrupt-remapping (which
is a pre-req for using x2apic capability).

On these platforms all the apic-ids are < 255 and the kernel can fallback to
xapic mode if the bios has not enabled interrupt-remapping (which is
mostly the case if the bios has not exported interrupt-remapping tables to the
OS).

e8524b2f43 x86, apic: Add probe() for apic_flat
Currently we start with the default apic_flat mode and switch to some other
apic model depending on the apic drivers acpi_madt_oem_check() routines and
later followed by the apic drivers probe() routines.

Once we selected non flat mode there was no case where we fall back to
flat mode again.

Upcoming changes allow bios-enabled x2apic mode to be disabled by the OS
if interrupt-remapping etc is not setup properly by the bios.

We now has a case for the apic to fall back to legacy flat mode during
apic driver probe() seqeuence. Add a simple flat_probe() which allows
the apic_flat mode to be the last fallback option.

implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the

Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

141168c36c x86: Simplify code by removing a !SMP #ifdefs from 'struct cpuinfo_x86'
Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the
!SMP case, likely to save space.  However, those fields still
have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef
removal from other files.  The additional size of the UP kernel
from this change is not significant enough to worry about
keeping up the distinction:

	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	4737168	 506459	 972040	6215667	 5ed7f3	vmlinux.o.before
	4737444	 506459	 972040	6215943	 5ed907	vmlinux.o.after

for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.

If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should
be implemented in a cleaner way.

2c29d9dd57 x86: add IRQ context simulation in module mce-inject
mce-inject provides a mechanism to simulate errors so that test
scripts can check for correct operation of the kernel without
requiring any specialized hardware to create rare events.

The existing code can simulate events in normal process context
and also in NMI context - but not in IRQ context. This patch
fills that gap.
