bde6f5f59c x86: voluntary leave_mm before entering ACPI C3
Aviod TLB flush IPIs during C3 states by voluntary leave_mm()
before entering C3.

The performance impact of TLB flush on C3 should not be significant with
respect to C3 wakeup latency. Also, CPUs tend to flush TLB in hardware while in
C3 anyways.

On a 8 logical CPU system, running make -j2, the number of tlbflush IPIs goes
down from 40 per second to ~ 0. Total number of interrupts during the run
of this workload was ~1200 per second, which makes it ~3% savings in wakeups.

There was no measurable performance or power impact however.

9f8daccaa0 PCI: remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation
increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node systems.  The kernel
currently attempts by default to allocate memory for all PCI expansion
ROMs so there has also been an increasing number of PCI memory
allocation failures seen on these systems.  This occurs because the BIOS
either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource for all the
expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI memory resource for
expansion ROMs but provides the space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned
P2P non-prefetch windows.

The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign when related
to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves but in some cases they
can occur when attempting to allocate space for more critical BARs.
This can happen when a successful expansion ROM allocation request
consumes memory resource that was intended for a non-ROM BAR.  We have
seen this happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a P2P
bridge where successful memory allocation for an expansion ROM BAR on
device behind the bridge consumed memory that was intended for a non-ROM
BAR on the P2P bridge.  In all cases the allocation failure messages can
be very confusing for users.

This patch addresses the issue by changing the kernel default behavior
so that expansion ROM memory allocations are no longer attempted by
default when the BIOS has not assigned a specific address range to the
expansion ROM BAR.  This was done by changing the 'pci=rom' boot option
behavior for BIOS unassigned expansion ROMs to actually match it's
current kernel-parameters.txt description which already implies "off" by
default. Behavior for BIOS assigned expansion ROMs implemented in
pcibios_assign_resources() [arch/x86/pci/i386.c] is unchanged.

This revamps the i387 code to be shared across 32-bit, 64-bit,
and 32-on-64.  It does so by consolidating the code in one place

32-bit to using the i387_64.h header and 64-bit to using the
i387.c that was previously i387_32.c, but that's what took the
least cleanup in each file.  Here i387.h is stubbed to always
include i387_64.h rather than renaming the file, to keep this
diff smaller and easier to read.

unifying this code between 32 and 64.  The 32-bit versions of
some things are copied in some existing names changed to match

an inline from i387_64.c; this matches restore_i387, which is
already an inline, and makes sense since there is exactly one
caller (in signal_64.c).  The save_i387 function could use more
cosmetic cleanup, but it is just moved verbatim in this patch.

c6b4832432 x86, kexec: force x86 arches to boot kdump kernels on boot cpu
Recently a kdump bug was discovered in which a system would hang inside
calibrate_delay during the booting of the kdump kernel.  This was caused
by the fact that the jiffies counter was not being incremented during
timer calibration.  The root cause of this problem was found to be a
bios misconfiguration of the hypertransport bus.  On system affected by
this hang, the bios had assigned APIC ids which used extended apic bits
(more than the nominal 4 bit ids's), but failed to configure bit 17 of
the hypertransport transaction config register, which indicated that the
mask for the destination field of interrupt packets accross the ht bus
(see section 3.3.9 of
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26094.PDF).
If a crash occurs on a cpu with an APIC id that extends beyond 4 bits,
it will not recieve interrupts during the kdump kernel boot, and this
hang will be the result.  The fix is to add this patch, whcih add an
early pci quirk check, to forcibly enable this bit in the httcfg
register.  This enables all cpus on a system to receive interrupts, and
allows kdump kernel bootup to procede normally.

314cdbefd1 x86: FIFO ticket spinlocks
Introduce ticket lock spinlocks for x86 which are FIFO. The implementation
is described in the comments. The straight-line lock/unlock instruction
sequence is slightly slower than the dec based locks on modern x86 CPUs,
however the difference is quite small on Core2 and Opteron when working out of
cache, and becomes almost insignificant even on P4 when the lock misses cache.
trylock is more significantly slower, but they are relatively rare.

On an 8 core (2 socket) Opteron, spinlock unfairness is extremely noticable,
with a userspace test having a difference of up to 2x runtime per thread, and
some threads are starved or "unfairly" granted the lock up to 1 000 000 (!)
times. After this patch, all threads appear to finish at exactly the same
time.

The memory ordering of the lock does conform to x86 standards, and the
implementation has been reviewed by Intel and AMD engineers.

The algorithm also tells us how many CPUs are contending the lock, so
lockbreak becomes trivial and we no longer have to waste 4 bytes per
spinlock for it.

After this, we can no longer spin on any locks with preempt enabled
and cannot reenable interrupts when spinning on an irq safe lock, because
at that point we have already taken a ticket and the would deadlock if
the same CPU tries to take the lock again.  These are questionable anyway:
if the lock happens to be called under a preempt or interrupt disabled section,
then it will just have the same latency problems. The real fix is to keep
critical sections short, and ensure locks are reasonably fair (which this
patch does).

95c354fe9f spinlock: lockbreak cleanup
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.

Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.

Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

a95d67f87e x86, ptrace: new ptrace BTS API
Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling).

It further combines buffer allocation and configuration.

Opens:
- memory rlimit
- overflow signal

What would be the right signal to use?
