commit 05e33fc20ea5e493a2a1e7f1d04f43cdf89f83ed upstream.

Delete the 10 msec delay between the INIT and SIPI when starting
slave cpus. I can find no requirement for this delay. BIOS also
has similar code sequences without the delay.

Removing the delay reduces boot time by 40 sec. Every bit helps.

<title>x86-32, vdso: On system call restart after SYSENTER, use int $0x80</title>

commit 7ca0758cdb7c241cb4e0490a8d95f0eb5b861daf upstream.

When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle
the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention.  This was
probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now.  This causes
errors if the system call as to be restarted.

For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the
return address is hardcoded.  Accordingly, we can simply replace the
jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower
entry point for a post-restart.

<title>x86, olpc: Wait for last byte of EC command to be accepted</title>

commit a3ea14df0e383f44dcb2e61badb71180dbffe526 upstream.

When executing EC commands, only waiting when there are still
more bytes to write is usually fine. However, if the system
suspends very quickly after a call to olpc_ec_cmd(), the last
data byte may not yet be transferred to the EC, and the command
will not complete.

This solves a bug where the SCI wakeup mask was not correctly
written when going into suspend.

It means that sometimes, on XO-1.5 (but not XO-1), the
devices that were marked as wakeup sources can't wake up
the system. e.g. you ask for wifi wakeups, suspend, but then
incoming wifi frames don't wake up the system as they should.

Fix regression for HVM case on older (&lt;4.1.1) hypervisors caused by

  Author: Stefano Stabellini &lt;stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com&gt;
  Date:   Thu Dec 2 17:55:10 2010 +0000

    xen: PV on HVM: support PV spinlocks and IPIs

This change replaced the SMP operations with event based handlers without
taking into account that this only works when the hypervisor supports
callback vectors. This causes unexplainable hangs early on boot for
HVM guests with more than one CPU.

<title>xen/x86: replace order-based range checking of M2P table by linear one</title>

commit ccbcdf7cf1b5f6c6db30d84095b9c6c53043af55 upstream.

The order-based approach is not only less efficient (requiring a shift
and a compare, typical generated code looking like this

	mov	eax, [machine_to_phys_order]
	mov	ecx, eax
	shr	ebx, cl
	test	ebx, ebx
	jnz	...

whereas a direct check requires just a compare, like in

	cmp	ebx, [machine_to_phys_nr]
	jae	...

), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element
address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).

Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should
have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger
if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit
boundary.

<title>x86, mtrr: lock stop machine during MTRR rendezvous sequence</title>

commit 6d3321e8e2b3bf6a5892e2ef673c7bf536e3f904 upstream.

MTRR rendezvous sequence using stop_one_cpu_nowait() can potentially
happen in parallel with another system wide rendezvous using
stop_machine(). This can lead to deadlock (The order in which
works are queued can be different on different cpu's. Some cpu's
will be running the first rendezvous handler and others will be running
the second rendezvous handler. Each set waiting for the other set to join
for the system wide rendezvous, leading to a deadlock).

MTRR rendezvous sequence is not implemented using stop_machine() as this
gets called both from the process context aswell as the cpu online paths
(where the cpu has not come online and the interrupts are disabled etc).
stop_machine() works with only online cpus.

For now, take the stop_machine mutex in the MTRR rendezvous sequence that
gets called from an online cpu (here we are in the process context
and can potentially sleep while taking the mutex). And the MTRR rendezvous
that gets triggered during cpu online doesn't need to take this stop_machine
lock (as the stop_machine() already ensures that there is no cpu hotplug
going on in parallel by doing get_online_cpus())

    TBD: Pursue a cleaner solution of extending the stop_machine()
         infrastructure to handle the case where the calling cpu is
         still not online and use this for MTRR rendezvous sequence.

commit a0e3e70243f5b270bc3eca718f0a9fa5e6b8262e upstream.

Current oprofile's x86 callgraph support may trigger page faults
throwing the BUG_ON(in_nmi()) message below. This patch fixes this by
using the same nmi-safe copy-from-user code as in perf.

<title>kexec, x86: Fix incorrect jump back address if not preserving context</title>

commit 050438ed5a05b25cdf287f5691e56a58c2606997 upstream.

In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced
kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call
return address is the jump back entry.

Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that
the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original
kernel.

But in the current implementation the stack position used for
function call return address is not cleared context
preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug.
