x86: fix dmi_alloc() to not advance alloc index in case of
dmi_alloc() for CONFIG_X86_64 is defined to allocate from a static array
and it maintains a allocation index which is advanced each time allocation
is attempted - it gets incremented even if an allocation fails thereby
depriving any future request that may be small enough to be satisfied from
the array.
Fix this by first testing if allocation is going to be possible and
incrementing alloc index only then.

x86: fix DMI out of memory problems
People with HP Desktops (including me) encounter couple of DMI errors
during boot - dmi_save_oem_strings_devices: out of memory and
dmi_string: out of memory.
On some HP desktops the DMI data include OEM strings (type 11) out of
which only few are meaningful and most other are empty. DMI code
religiously creates copies of these 27 strings (65 bytes each in my
case) and goes OOM in dmi_string().
If DMI_MAX_DATA is bumped up a little then it goes and fails in
dmi_save_oem_strings while allocating dmi_devices of sizeof(struct
dmi_device) corresponding to these strings.
On x86_64 since we cannot use alloc_bootmem this early, the code uses a
static array of 2048 bytes (DMI_MAX_DATA) for allocating the memory DMI
needs. It does not survive the creation of empty strings and devices.
Fix this by detecting and not newly allocating empty strings and instead
using a one statically defined dmi_empty_string.
Also do not create a new struct dmi_device for each empty string - use
one statically define dmi_device with .name=dmi_empty_string and add
that to the dmi_devices list.
On x64 this should stop the OOM with same current size of DMI_MAX_DATA
and on x86 this should save a good amount of (27*65 bytes +
27*sizeof(struct dmi_device) bootmem.
Compile and boot tested on both 32-bit and 64-bit x86.
What's left in processor_32.h and processor_64.h cannot be cleanly
integrated. However, it's just a couple of definitions. They are moved
to processor.h around ifdefs, and the original files are deleted. Note that
there's much less headers included in the final version.

x86: user_regset header
The new header <linux/regset.h> defines the types struct user_regset and
struct user_regset_view, with some associated declarations. This new set
of interfaces will become the standard way for arch code to expose
user-mode machine-specific state. A single set of entry points into arch
code can do all the low-level work in one place to fill the needs of core
dumps, ptrace, and any other user-mode debugging facilities that might come
along in the future.
For existing arch code to adapt to the user_regset interfaces, each arch
can work from the code it already has to support core files and ptrace.
The formats you want for user_regset are the core file formats. The only
wrinkle in adapting old ptrace implementation code as user_regset get and
set functions is that these functions can be called on current as well as
on another task_struct that is stopped and switched out as for ptrace.
For some kinds of machine state, you may have to load it directly from CPU
registers or otherwise differently for current than for another thread.
(Your core dump support already handles this in elf_core_copy_regs for
current and elf_core_copy_task_regs for other tasks, so just check there.)
The set function should also be made to work on current in case that
entails some special cases, though this was never required before for
ptrace. Adding this flexibility covers the arch needs to open the door to
more sophisticated new debugging facilities that don't always need to
context-switch to do every little thing.
The copyin/copyout helper functions (in a later patch) relieve the arch
code of most of the cumbersome details of the flexible get/set interfaces.

x86, kexec: force x86 arches to boot kdump kernels on boot cpu
Recently a kdump bug was discovered in which a system would hang inside
calibrate_delay during the booting of the kdump kernel. This was caused
by the fact that the jiffies counter was not being incremented during
timer calibration. The root cause of this problem was found to be a
bios misconfiguration of the hypertransport bus. On system affected by
this hang, the bios had assigned APIC ids which used extended apic bits
(more than the nominal 4 bit ids's), but failed to configure bit 17 of
the hypertransport transaction config register, which indicated that the
mask for the destination field of interrupt packets accross the ht bus
(see section 3.3.9 of
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26094.PDF).
If a crash occurs on a cpu with an APIC id that extends beyond 4 bits,
it will not recieve interrupts during the kdump kernel boot, and this
hang will be the result. The fix is to add this patch, whcih add an
early pci quirk check, to forcibly enable this bit in the httcfg
register. This enables all cpus on a system to receive interrupts, and
allows kdump kernel bootup to procede normally.

x86-64: make pda's cpunumber and nodenumber unsigned
This generally allows better code to be generated, since the zero-
extension during 32-bit operations comes for free (needed when the
result is used as array index or similar), whereas sign extension must
be done explicitly and frequently requires a one byte larger
instruction due to the necessary rex64 prefix.

x86: kprobes code for x86 unification
This patch unifies kprobes code.
- Unify kprobes_*.h to kprobes.h
- Unify kprobes_*.c to kprobes.c
(Differences are separated by ifdefs)
- Most differences are related to REX prefix and rip relatives.
- Two inline assembly code are different.
- One difference in kprobe_handlre()
- One fixup exception code is different, but it will be unified
if mm/extable_*.c are unified.
- Merge history logs into arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c.

x86: FIFO ticket spinlocks
Introduce ticket lock spinlocks for x86 which are FIFO. The implementation
is described in the comments. The straight-line lock/unlock instruction
sequence is slightly slower than the dec based locks on modern x86 CPUs,
however the difference is quite small on Core2 and Opteron when working out of
cache, and becomes almost insignificant even on P4 when the lock misses cache.
trylock is more significantly slower, but they are relatively rare.
On an 8 core (2 socket) Opteron, spinlock unfairness is extremely noticable,
with a userspace test having a difference of up to 2x runtime per thread, and
some threads are starved or "unfairly" granted the lock up to 1 000 000 (!)
times. After this patch, all threads appear to finish at exactly the same
time.
The memory ordering of the lock does conform to x86 standards, and the
implementation has been reviewed by Intel and AMD engineers.
The algorithm also tells us how many CPUs are contending the lock, so
lockbreak becomes trivial and we no longer have to waste 4 bytes per
spinlock for it.
After this, we can no longer spin on any locks with preempt enabled
and cannot reenable interrupts when spinning on an irq safe lock, because
at that point we have already taken a ticket and the would deadlock if
the same CPU tries to take the lock again. These are questionable anyway:
if the lock happens to be called under a preempt or interrupt disabled section,
then it will just have the same latency problems. The real fix is to keep
critical sections short, and ensure locks are reasonably fair (which this
patch does).

spinlock: lockbreak cleanup
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.
Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

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.
