      x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init · d0af9eed
      Suresh Siddha authored
      SDM Vol 3a section titled "MTRR considerations in MP systems" specifies
      the need for synchronizing the logical cpu's while initializing/updating
      MTRR.
      
      Currently Linux kernel does the synchronization of all cpu's only when
      a single MTRR register is programmed/updated. During an AP online
      (during boot/cpu-online/resume)  where we initialize all the MTRR/PAT registers,
      we don't follow this synchronization algorithm.
      
      This can lead to scenarios where during a dynamic cpu online, that logical cpu
      is initializing MTRR/PAT with cache disabled (cr0.cd=1) etc while other logical
      HT sibling continue to run (also with cache disabled because of cr0.cd=1
      on its sibling).
      
      Starting from Westmere, VMX transitions with cr0.cd=1 don't work properly
      (because of some VMX performance optimizations) and the above scenario
      (with one logical cpu doing VMX activity and another logical cpu coming online)
      can result in system crash.
      
      Fix the MTRR initialization by doing rendezvous of all the cpus. During
      boot and resume, we delay the MTRR/PAT init for APs till all the
      logical cpu's come online and the rendezvous process at the end of AP's bringup,
      will initialize the MTRR/PAT for all AP's.
      
      For dynamic single cpu online, we synchronize all the logical cpus and
      do the MTRR/PAT init on the AP that is coming online.

      generic-ipi: Allow cpus not yet online to call smp_call_function with irqs disabled · 269c861b
      Suresh Siddha authored
      Because of deadlock possiblities smp_call_function() is not allowed to
      be called with interrupts disabled. Add an exception for the cpu not
      yet online, as no one else can send smp call function interrupt to this
      cpu that is not yet online and as such deadlock condition is not possible.

      x86: Further clean up of mtrr/generic.c · e3d0e692
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Yinghai noticed that i defined BIOS_BUG_MSG but added no
      usage for it. The usage is to clean up this turd in generic.c:
      
      			printk(KERN_WARNING "WARNING: BIOS bug: VAR MTRR %d "
      				"contains strange UC entry under 1M, check "
      				"with your system vendor!\n", i);
      
      Breaking printk lines in the middle looks ugly, is hard to read
      and breaks 'git grep'. Use the BIOS_BUG_MSG instead.
      
      Also complete the moving of structure definitions and variables
      to the top of the file.
