commit a129a7c84582629741e5fa6f40026efcd7a65bd4 upstream.

When running on 32bit the mce handler could misinterpret
vm86 mode as ring 0. This can affect whether it does recovery
or not; it was possible to panic when recovery was actually
possible.

Fix this by always forcing vm86 to look like ring 3.

[ Backport to 3.0 notes:
Things changed there slightly:
   - move mce_get_rip() up. It fills up m-&gt;cs and m-&gt;ip values which
     are evaluated in mce_severity(). Therefore move it up right before
     the mce_severity call. This seem to be another bug in 3.0?
   - Place the backport (fix m-&gt;cs in V86 case) to where m-&gt;cs gets
     filled which is mce_get_rip() in 3.0

<title>x86: Simplify code by removing a !SMP #ifdefs from 'struct cpuinfo_x86'</title>

<id>22268214261ad64783cbad1d9c1df227302e5ed1</id>

commit 141168c36cdee3ff23d9c7700b0edc47cb65479f and
commit 3f806e50981825fa56a7f1938f24c0680816be45 upstream.

Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the
!SMP case, likely to save space.  However, those fields still
have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef
removal from other files.  The additional size of the UP kernel
from this change is not significant enough to worry about
keeping up the distinction:

	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	4737168	 506459	 972040	6215667	 5ed7f3	vmlinux.o.before
	4737444	 506459	 972040	6215943	 5ed907	vmlinux.o.after

for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.

If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should
be implemented in a cleaner way.

commit 4ad33411308596f2f918603509729922a1ec4411 upstream.

It makes sense to label "Digital Thermal Sensor" as "DTS", but
unfortunately the string "dts" was already used for "Debug Store", and
/proc/cpuinfo is a user space ABI.

Therefore, rename this to "dtherm".

This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86
maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject.

<title>x86, MCE, AMD: Make APIC LVT thresholding interrupt optional</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f227d4306cf30e1d5b6f231e8ef9006c34f3d186 upstream.

Currently, the APIC LVT interrupt for error thresholding is implicitly
enabled. However, there are models in the F15h range which do not enable
it. Make the code machinery which sets up the APIC interrupt support
an optional setting and add an -&gt;interrupt_capable member to the bank
representation mirroring that capability and enable the interrupt offset
programming only if it is true.

Simplify code and fixup comment style while at it.

Linus pointed out that there was no value is checking whether m-&gt;ip
was zero - because zero is a legimate value.  If we have a reliable
(or faked in the VM86 case) "m-&gt;cs" we can use it to tell whether we
were in user mode or kernelwhen the machine check hit.

commit 32c3233885eb10ac9cb9410f2f8cd64b8df2b2a1 upstream.

For L1 instruction cache and L2 cache the shared CPU information
is wrong. On current AMD family 15h CPUs those caches are shared
between both cores of a compute unit.

commit 57d1c0c03c6b48b2b96870d831b9ce6b917f53ac upstream.

Masami spotted that we always try to decode the instruction stream as
64bit instructions when running a 64bit kernel, this doesn't work for
ia32-compat proglets.

Use TIF_IA32 to detect if we need to use the 32bit instruction
decoder.

commit 20afc60f892d285fde179ead4b24e6a7938c2f1b upstream.

An event may occur when an mm is already released.

I added an event in dequeue_entity() and caught a panic with
the following backtrace:
