x86: c_p_a() make it more robust against use of PAT bits
Use the page table level instead of the PSE bit to check if the PTE
is for a 4K page or not. This makes the code more robust when the PAT
bit is changed because the PAT bit on 4K pages is in the same position
as the PSE bit.

Intel recommends to first flush the TLBs and then the caches
on caching attribute changes. c_p_a() previously did it the
other way round. Reorder that.
The procedure is still not fully compliant to the Intel documentation
because Intel recommends a all CPU synchronization step between
the TLB flushes and the cache flushes.
However on all new Intel CPUs this is now meaningless anyways
because they support Self-Snoop and can skip the cache flush
step anyway.

In PAE mode, an update to the pgd requires a cr3 reload to make sure
the processor notices the changes. Since this also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, its an expensive operation which we
want to avoid where possible.
This patch mitigates the cost of installing the initial set of pmds on
process creation by preallocating them when the pgd is allocated.
This avoids up to three tlb flushes during exec, as it creates the new
process address space while the pagetable is in active use.
The pmds will be freed as part of the normal pagetable teardown in
free_pgtables, which is called in munmap and process exit. However,
free_pgtables will only free parts of the pagetable which actually
contain mappings, so stray pmds may still be attached to the pgd at
pgd_free time. We must mop them up to prevent a memory leak.

rtc: use the IRQ callback interface in (old) RTC driver
the previous patch in the old RTC driver. It also removes the direct
rtc_interrupt() call from arch/x86/kernel/hpetc.c so that there's finally no
(code) dependency to CONFIG_RTC in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c.
Because of this, it's possible to compile the drivers/char/rtc.ko driver as
module and still use the HPET emulation functionality. This is also expressed
in Kconfig.

x86, rtc: make CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC usable from modules
enabled, then interrupts don't work for the rtc-cmos driver which results in
RTC_AIE*, RTC_PIE* and RTC_ALM being unusable. This affects hwclock from
util-linux-ng at least on i386 since that uses RTC_PIE_ON. (For x86-64, a
polling method is used for unknown reasons.)
This patch series now
1. export the functions from arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c that the old char/rtc
driver uses to work around that problem,
2. makes it possible to compile the old rtc driver as module, while still
having CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC enabled and
3. makes use of the exported functions in (1) in the new rtc-cmos driver.
This patch:
This patch makes the RTC emulation functions in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c usable
for kernel modules. It
- exports the functions (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()),
- adds an interface to register the interrupt callback function
instead of using only a fixed callback function and
- replaces the rtc_get_rtc_time() function which depends on
CONFIG_RTC with a call to get_rtc_time() which is defined in
include/asm-generic/rtc.h.
The only dependency to CONFIG_RTC is the call to rtc_interrupt() which is
removed by the next patch. After this, there's no (code) dependency of
this functions to CONFIG_RTC=y any more.

x86_32: always run the full set of paging state.
I am preparing to convert the boot time page table to the kernels
native format. To achieve that I need to enable PAE. Enabling PSE
and the no execute bit would not hurt. So this patch modifies
the boot cpu path to execute all of the kernels enable code
if and only if we have the proper bits set in mmu_cr4_features.

x86_32: remove unnecessary use of %ebx as the boot cpu flag
Currently in head_32.S there are two ways we test to see if we
are the boot cpu. By looking at %ebx and by looking at the
static variable ready. When changing things around I have
found that it gets tricky to preserve %ebx. So this
patch just switches head.S over to the more reliable
test of always using ready.
Hopefully later we can kill these tests entirely.

x86: relax restrictions on setting CONFIG_NUMA on x86, #2
The FLATMEM memory model references a global mem_map and max_mapnr. This
is incompatible with how memory models used for NUMA view the world.
Builds fail if FLATMEM && NUMA are set on x86. This patch forbids that
combination of config items. This is consistent with x86_64
enforcements.

x86: make NUMA work on 32-bit
The DISCONTIG memory model on x86 32 bit uses a remap allocator early
in boot. The objective is that portions of every node are mapped in to
the kernel virtual area (KVA) in place of ZONE_NORMAL so that node-local
allocations can be made for pgdat and mem_map structures.
With SPARSEMEM, the amount that is set aside is insufficient for all the
mem_maps to be allocated. During the boot process, it falls back to using
the bootmem allocator. This breaks assumptions that SPARSEMEM makes about
the layout of the mem_map in memory and results in a VM_BUG_ON triggering
due to pfn_to_page() returning garbage values.
This patch only enables the remap allocator for use with DISCONTIG.
Without SRAT support, a compile-error occurs because ACPI table parsing
functions are only available in x86-64. This patch also adds no-op stubs
and prints a warning message. What likely needs to be done is sharing
the table parsing functions between 32 and 64 bit if they are
compatible.
