x86, ptrace: new ptrace BTS API
Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling).
It further combines buffer allocation and configuration.
Opens:
- memory rlimit
- overflow signal
What would be the right signal to use?

x86: avoid ifdefs in desc.h, getting rid of pack_ldt and pack_tss
By Andi Kleen's suggestion, this patch removes pack_ldt() and pack_tss()
wrappers in favour of a general wrapper. It saves us an ifdef and some lines
of code, but more importantly, it's more elegant.
No functional change is made, although the object code is expected to be
different.

x86: EFI runtime service support
This patch adds basic runtime services support for EFI x86_64 system. The
main file of the patch is the addition of efi_64.c for x86_64. This file is
modeled after the EFI IA32 avatar. EFI runtime services initialization are
implemented in efi_64.c. Some x86_64 specifics are worth noting here. On
x86_64, parameters passed to EFI firmware services need to follow the EFI
calling convention. For this purpose, a set of functions named efi_call<x>
(<x> is the number of parameters) are implemented. EFI function calls are
wrapped before calling the firmware service. The duplicated code between
efi_32.c and efi_64.c is placed in efi.c to remove them from efi_32.c.

This patch splits get_cycles_sync() into __get_cycles_sync(),
and the rdtscll part. Paravirt guests cannot issue rdtscl directly,
as it involves a function call in vdso area.
So, using the __get_cycles_sync() base, we introduce vget_cycles_sync,
which then calls the native version of rdtscll. Ideally, however, a guest
should define its own clocksource, together with a vread function

x86: wipe out traditional opt from x86_64 Makefile
Among other things, using -traditional as a gcc option stops us from
using macro token pasting, which is a feature we heavily rely on.
There was still a use of -traditional in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile_64,
which this patch removes.
I don't see any problems building kernels in my x86_64 box without
-traditional.

x86: 32-bit IOAPIC: de-fang IRQ compression
commit c434b7a6aedfe428ad17cd61b21b125a7b7a29ce
(x86: avoid wasting IRQs for PCI devices)
created a concept of "IRQ compression" on i386
to conserve IRQ numbers on systems with many
sparsely populated IO APICs.
The same scheme was also added to x86_64,
but later removed when x86_64 recieved an IRQ over-haul
that made it unnecessary -- including per-CPU
IRQ vectors that greatly increased the IRQ capacity
on the machine.
i386 has not received the analogous over-haul,
and thus a previous attempt to delete IRQ compression
from i386 was rejected on the theory that there may
exist machines that actually need it. The fact is
that the author of IRQ compression patch was unable
to confirm the actual existence of such a system.
As a result, all i386 kernels with IOAPIC support
pay the following:
1. confusion
IRQ compression re-names the traditional IOAPIC
pin numbers (aka ACPI GSI's) into sequential IRQ #s:
This makes /proc/interrupts look different
depending on system configuration and device probe order.
It is also different than the x86_64 kernel running
on the exact same system. As a result, programmers
get confused when comparing systems.
2. complexity
The IRQ code in Linux is already overly complex,
and IRQ compression makes it worse. There have
already been two bug workarounds related to IRQ
compression -- the IRQ0 timer workaround and
the VIA PCI IRQ workaround.
3. size
All i386 kernels with IOAPIC support contain an int[4096] --
a 4 page array to contain the renamed IRQs.
So while the irq compression code on i386 should really
be deleted -- even before merging the x86_64 irq-overhaul,
this patch simply disables it on all high volume systems
to avoid problems #1 and #2 on most all i386 systems.
A large system with pin numbers >=64 will still have compression
to conserve limited IRQ numbers for sparse IOAPICS. However,
the vast majority of the planet, those with only pin numbers < 64
will use an identity GSI -> IRQ mapping.
