<content type='text'>
The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting:
1. Intel C1E is somehow involved
2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved

Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that
this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E.
Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific
to AMD processors with Erratum 400.

This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change.

This patch removes a check that causes incorrect scheduler
domain setup (SMP instead of SMT) and bootlog warning messages
when cpuid extensions for topology enumeration are not supported
and the number of processors reported to the OS is smaller than
smp_num_siblings.

The setup_smep function gets calle at resume time too, and is thus not a
pure __init function.  When marked as __init, it gets thrown out after
the kernel has initialized, and when the kernel is suspended and
resumed, the code will no longer be around, and we'll get a nice "kernel
tried to execute NX-protected page" oops because the page is no longer
marked executable.

Enable/disable newly documented SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution Protection) CPU
feature in kernel. CR4.SMEP (bit 20) is 0 at power-on. If the feature is
supported by CPU (X86_FEATURE_SMEP), enable SMEP by setting CR4.SMEP. New kernel
option nosmep disables the feature even if the feature is supported by CPU.

[ hpa: moved the call to setup_smep() until after the vendor-specific
  initialization; that ensures that CPUID features are unmasked.  We
  will still run it before we have userspace (never mind uncontrolled
  userspace). ]

CPUID leaf 7, subleaf 0 returns the maximum subleaf in EAX, not the
number of subleaves.  Since so far only subleaf 0 is defined (and only
the EBX bitfield) we do not need to qualify the test.

<title>x86: Unify node_to_cpumask_map handling between 32 and 64bit</title>

<id>de2d9445f1627830ed2ebd00ee9d851986c940b5</id>
<content type='text'>
x86_32 has been managing node_to_cpumask_map explicitly from
map_cpu_to_node() and friends in a rather ugly way.  With
previous changes, it's now possible to share the code with
64bit.

* When CONFIG_NUMA_EMU is disabled, numa_add/remove_cpu() are
  implemented in numa.c and shared by 32 and 64bit.  CONFIG_NUMA_EMU
  versions still live in numa_64.c.

  NUMA_EMU's dependency on 64bit is planned to be removed and the
  above should go away together.

* identify_cpu() now calls numa_add_cpu() for 32bit too.  This
  makes the explicit mask management from map_cpu_to_node() unnecessary.

* The whole x86_32 specific map_cpu_to_node() chunk is no longer
  necessary.  Dropped.

  above should go away together.

* identify_cpu() now calls numa_add_cpu() for 32bit too.  This
  makes the explicit mask management from map_cpu_to_node() unnecessary.

* The whole x86_32 specific map_cpu_to_node() chunk is no longer
  necessary.  Dropped.
