Both if-branches are under if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_APIC)), unify them. Also, simplify the test for bits: - 17 ("ApicExtBrdCst: APIC extended broadcast enable") and - 18 ("ApicExtId: APIC extended ID enable.") in "D18F0x68 Link Transaction Control." No functionality change.

Use static_cpu_has() in the timing-sensitive paths in fpstate_init() and fpu__copy(). While at it, simplify the use in init_cyrix() and get rid of the ternary operator. Signed-off-by:

The following BUG_ON() crash was reported on QEMU/i386: kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:79! Call Trace: phys_mem_access_prot_allowed mmap_mem ? mmap_region mmap_region do_mmap vm_mmap_pgoff SyS_mmap_pgoff do_int80_syscall_32 entry_INT80_32 after commit: edfe63ec ("x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions") PAT is now set to disabled state when MTRRs are disabled. Thus, reactivating the __pa(high_memory) check in phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is set, __pa() calls __phys_addr(), which in turn calls slow_virt_to_phys() for 'high_memory'. Because 'high_memory' is set to (the max direct mapped virt addr + 1), it is not a valid virtual address. Hence, slow_virt_to_phys() returns 0 and hit the BUG_ON. Using __pa_nodebug() instead of __pa() will fix this BUG_ON. However, this code block, originally written for Pentiums and earlier, is no longer adequate since a 32-bit Xen guest has MTRRs disabled and supports ZONE_HIGHMEM. In this setup, this code sets UC attribute for accessing RAM in high memory range. Delete this code block as it has been unused for a long time. Reported-by:

When we loop over all queued machine check error records to pass them to the registered notifiers we use llist_for_each_entry(). But the loop calls gen_pool_free() for the entry in the body of the loop - and then the iterator looks at node->next after the free. Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() instead. Signed-off-by:

Allowing user code to map the HPET is problematic. HPET implementations are notoriously buggy, and there are probably many machines on which even MMIO reads from bogus HPET addresses are problematic. We have a report that the Dell Precision M2800 with: ACPI: HPET 0x00000000C8FE6238 000038 (v01 DELL CBX3 01072009 AMI. 00000005) is either so slow when accessing the HPET or actually hangs in some regard, causing soft lockups to be reported if users do unexpected things to the HPET. The vclock HPET code has also always been a questionable speedup. Accessing an HPET is exceedingly slow (on the order of several microseconds), so the added overhead in requiring a syscall to read the HPET is a small fraction of the total code of accessing it. To avoid future problems, let's just delete the code entirely. In the long run, this could actually be a speedup. Waiman Long as a patch to optimize the case where multiple CPUs contend for the HPET, but that won't help unless all the accesses are mediated by the kernel. Reported-by:

Erratum 88 affects old AMD K8s, where a SWAPGS fails to cause an input dependency on GS. Therefore, we need to MFENCE before it. But that MFENCE is expensive and unnecessary on the remaining x86 CPUs out there so patch it out on the CPUs which don't require it. Signed-off-by:

AMD and Intel do different things when writing zero to a segment selector. Since neither vendor documents the behavior well and it's easy to test the behavior, try nulling fs to see what happens. Signed-off-by:

ARCH_GET_FS and ARCH_GET_GS attempted to figure out the fsbase and gsbase respectively from saved thread state. This was wrong: fsbase and gsbase live in registers while a thread is running, not in memory. For reasons I can't fathom, the fsbase and gsbase code were different. Since neither was correct, I didn't try to figure out what the point of the difference was. Change it to simply read the MSRs. The code for reading the base for a remote thread is also completely wrong if the target thread uses its own descriptors (which is the case for all 32-bit threaded programs), but fixing that is a different story.

In a798f091 ("x86/entry/32: Change INT80 to be an interrupt gate") Andy broke lguest. This is because lguest had special code to allow the 0x80 trap gate go straight into the guest itself; interrupts gates (without more work, as mentioned in the file's comments) bounce via the hypervisor. His change made them go via the hypervisor, but as it's in the range of normal hardware interrupts, they were not directed through to the guest at all. Turns out the guest userspace isn't very effective if syscalls are all noops. I haven't ripped out all the now-useless trap-direct-to-guest-kernel code yet, since it will still be needed if someone decides to update this optimization. Signed-off-by:
