Paul Jackson 6e9bcc796b x86 boot: change sanitize_e820_map parameter from byte to int to allow bigger memory maps
The map size counter passed into, and back out of, sanitize_e820_map(),
was an eight bit type (char or u8), as derived from its origins in
legacy BIOS E820 structures.  This patch changes that type to an 'int',
to allow this sanitize routine to also be used on larger maps (larger
than the 256 count that fits in a char).  The legacy BIOS E820 interface
of course does not change; that remains at 8 bits for this count, holding
up to E820MAX == 128 entries.  But the kernel internals can handle more
when those additional memory map entries are passed from the BIOS via
EFI interfaces.

Paul Jackson c3965bd151 x86 boot: proper use of ARRAY_SIZE instead of repeated E820MAX constant
This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more
memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86
legacy BIOS E820 interface.  The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX ==
128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the
size for several arrays and loops over those arrays.

The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those
arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro
evaluated for the array being looped.  That way, a subsequent patch can
change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code.

This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine,
which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries.
This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array.  Once again,
this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some
calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code.

As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further
combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for
this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration.

This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel
binary.

Ingo Molnar ed5e233284 x86, voyager: fix ioremap_nocache()
James Bottomley reported that the following commit:

| commit 6371b49599
| Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| Date:   Wed Jan 30 13:33:40 2008 +0100
|
|     x86: change ioremap() to default to uncached

broke Voyager.

James says:

" it broke a class of voyager machines: those which
  rely on the quad interrupt controller (QIC).  The precis of why they
  broke is because the QIC does IPIs (or CPIs in its terminology) via
  cache line interference: you interrupt a processor by moving a
  designated memory area to write exclusive in the cache (by simply
  writing to the line) and the CPU acks the interrupt by moving it back to
  read shared (by reading from it).  That area, is, of course, mapped by
  ioremap, so reversing the ioremap semantics and adding the uncached bit
  completely breaks the QIC. "

Sorry about that!

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 68db065c84 x86: unify KERNEL_PGD_PTRS
Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined
for 32-bit.

There are a couple of follow-on changes from this:
 - KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS.  The
   definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64,
   since it can have two different user address-space configurations.
   I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful
   for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations.

 - USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar
   purposes.  Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it
   completely unused, and so I removed it.

While doing the latter, I also did the following cleanups:

- ensure all users #include <linux/delay.h>

H. Peter Anvin 65ea5b0349 x86: rename the struct pt_regs members for 32/64-bit consistency
We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific
members of structures that contain registers.  In order to enable
additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix
from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes
for segment registers on the 32-bit side.

This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional
places that might be candidates for unification in the future.

Secondly, the actual definition has this as a SHARED_ALIGNED, so the

Mike Travis 92cb7612ae x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu array
cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS.  This means that
we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus.
When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes
3,145,728 bytes.

These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code.  An
additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu
index.  This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the
per_cpu index.  It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo().

cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP
case.

Joe Korty 38e760a133 x86: expand /proc/interrupts to include missing vectors, v2
Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.

/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.

This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:

	rescheduling interrupts
	TLB flush interrupts
	function call interrupts
	thermal event interrupts
	threshold interrupts
	spurious interrupts

A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency.  Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.

Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip.  IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.

A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC.  Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from.  For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.

Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS.  Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.

AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.
