VISWS:

because arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c isn't built since CONFIG_X86_BIOS_REBOOT=n,
so machine_crash_shutdown() isn't available.
This patch does seem a small bit odd since the KEXEC help text says that
kexec is independent of the system firmware.

x86: support for new UV apic
UV supports really big systems. So big, in fact, that the APICID register
does not contain enough bits to contain an APICID that is unique across all
cpus.
The UV BIOS supports 3 APICID modes:
- legacy mode. This mode uses the old APIC mode where
APICID is in bits [31:24] of the APICID register.
- x2apic mode. This mode is whitebox-compatible. APICIDs
are unique across all cpus. Standard x2apic APIC operations
(Intel-defined) can be used for IPIs. The node identifier
fits within the Intel-defined portion of the APICID register.
- x2apic-uv mode. In this mode, the APICIDs on each node have
unique IDs, but IDs on different node are not unique. For example,
if each mode has 32 cpus, the APICIDs on each node might be
0 - 31. Every node has the same set of IDs.
The UV hub is used to route IPIs/interrupts to the correct node.
Traditional APIC operations WILL NOT WORK.
In x2apic-uv mode, the ACPI tables all contain a full unique ID (note:
exact bit layout still changing but the following is close):
nnnnnnnnnnlc0cch
n = unique node number
l = socket number on board
c = core
h = hyperthread
Only the "lc0cch" bits are written to the APICID register. The remaining bits are
supplied by having the get_apic_id() function "OR" the extra bits into the value
read from the APICID register. (Hmmm.. why not keep the ENTIRE APICID register
in per-cpu data....)
The x2apic-uv mode is recognized by the MADT table containing:
oem_id = "SGI"
oem_table_id = "UV-X"

So let's just leave it to the compiler - it'll do a better job anyway.

x86: split large page mapping for AMD TSEG
On AMD SMM protected memory is part of the address map, but handled
internally like an MTRR. That leads to large pages getting split
internally which has some performance implications. Check for the
AMD TSEG MSR and split the large page mapping on that area
explicitely if it is part of the direct mapping.
There is also SMM ASEG, but it is in the first 1MB and already covered by
the earlier split first page patch.
Idea for this came from an earlier patch by Andreas Herrmann
On a RevF dual Socket Opteron system kernbench shows a clear
improvement from this:
(together with the earlier patches in this series, especially the
split first 2MB patch)
[lower is better]
no split stddev split stddev delta
Elapsed Time 87.146 (0.727516) 84.296 (1.09098) -3.2%
User Time 274.537 (4.05226) 273.692 (3.34344) -0.3%
System Time 34.907 (0.42492) 34.508 (0.26832) -1.1%
Percent CPU 322.5 (38.3007) 326.5 (44.5128) +1.2%
=> About 3.2% improvement in elapsed time for kernbench.
With GB pages on AMD Fam1h the impact of splitting is much higher of course,
since it would split two full GB pages (together with the first
1MB split patch) instead of two 2MB pages. I could not benchmark
a clear difference in kernbench on gbpages, so I kept it disabled
for that case
That was only limited benchmarking of course, so if someone
was interested in running more tests for the gbpages case
that could be revisited (contributions welcome)
I didn't bother implementing this for 32bit because it is very
unlikely the 32bit lowmem mapping overlaps into the TSEG near 4GB
and the 2MB low split is already handled for both.
[ mingo@elte.hu: do it on gbpages kernels too, there's no clear reason
why it shouldnt help there. ]
