This patch adds an initial page table with low mappings used exclusively
for booting APs/resuming after ACPI suspend/machine restart. After this,
there's no need to add low mappings to swapper_pg_dir and zap them later
or create own swsusp PGD page solely for ACPI sleep needs - we have
initial_page_table for that.

<title>x86-32: Separate 1:1 pagetables from swapper_pg_dir</title>

This patch fixes machine crashes which occur when heavily exercising the
CPU hotplug codepaths on a 32-bit kernel. These crashes are caused by
AMD Erratum 383 and result in a fatal machine check exception. Here's
the scenario:

1. On 32-bit, the swapper_pg_dir page table is used as the initial page
table for booting a secondary CPU.

2. To make this work, swapper_pg_dir needs a direct mapping of physical
memory in it (the low mappings). By adding those low, large page (2M)
mappings (PAE kernel), we create the necessary conditions for Erratum
383 to occur.

3. Other CPUs which do not participate in the off- and onlining game may
use swapper_pg_dir while the low mappings are present (when leave_mm is
called). For all steps below, the CPU referred to is a CPU that is using
swapper_pg_dir, and not the CPU which is being onlined.

4. The presence of the low mappings in swapper_pg_dir can result
in TLB entries for addresses below __PAGE_OFFSET to be established
speculatively. These TLB entries are marked global and large.

5. When the CPU with such TLB entry switches to another page table, this
TLB entry remains because it is global.

6. The process then generates an access to an address covered by the
above TLB entry but there is a permission mismatch - the TLB entry
covers a large global page not accessible to userspace.

7. Due to this permission mismatch a new 4kb, user TLB entry gets
established. Further, Erratum 383 provides for a small window of time
where both TLB entries are present. This results in an uncorrectable
machine check exception signalling a TLB multimatch which panics the
machine.

There are two ways to fix this issue:

        1. Always do a global TLB flush when a new cr3 is loaded and the
        old page table was swapper_pg_dir. I consider this a hack hard
        to understand and with performance implications

        2. Do not use swapper_pg_dir to boot secondary CPUs like 64-bit
        does.

This patch implements solution 2. It introduces a trampoline_pg_dir
which has the same layout as swapper_pg_dir with low_mappings. This page
table is used as the initial page table of the booting CPU. Later in the
bringup process, it switches to swapper_pg_dir and does a global TLB
flush. This fixes the crashes in our test cases.

-v2: switch to swapper_pg_dir right after entering start_secondary() so
that we are able to access percpu data which might not be mapped in the
trampoline page table.

Jens found the following crash/regression:

[    0.000000] found SMP MP-table at [ffff8800000fdd80] fdd80
[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 0-fff BIOS data page

and

[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 6000-7fff TRAMPOLINE

and bisected it to b24c2a9 ("x86: Move find_smp_config()
earlier and avoid bootmem usage").

It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable,
without reserving it.

So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of
hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.

<title>x86: load pointer to pda into %gs while brining up a CPU</title>

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

CPU startup code in head_64.S loaded address of a zero page into %gs
for temporary use till pda is loaded but address to the actual pda is
available at the point.  Load the real address directly instead.

This will help unifying percpu and pda handling later on.

This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

Impact: fix trampoline sizing bug, save space

While debugging a suspend-to-RAM related issue it occured to me that
if the trampoline code had grown past 4 KB, we would have been
allocating too little memory for it, since the 4 KB size of the
trampoline is hardcoded into arch/x86/kernel/e820.c .  Change that
by making the kernel compute the trampoline size and allocate as much
memory as necessary.
