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

Because of this, it's possible to compile the drivers/char/rtc.ko driver as

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

The only dependency to CONFIG_RTC is the call to rtc_interrupt() which is

this functions to CONFIG_RTC=y any more.

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

x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrs
On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached. Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e. right around init time).
This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match. A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.
Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.
This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

x86: add ENDPROC() markers
The ENDPROCs() were not used everywhere. Some code used just END() instead,
while other code used nothing. um/sys-i386/checksum.S didn't #include
<linux/linkage.h> . I also got confused because gcc puts the
.type near the ENTRY, while ENDPROC puts it on the opposite end.

x86: remove last user of get_segment_eip
is_prefetch was the last user of get_segment_eip and only on
X86_32. This function returned the faulting instruction's
address and set the upper segment limit.
Instead, use the convert_ip_to_linear helper and rely on
probe_kernel_address to do the segment checks which was
already done everywhere the segment limit was being checked
on X86_32.
Remove get_segment_eip as well.

x86: use wrmsrl in kprobes.c, step.c
Where x86_32 passed zero in the high 32 bits, use wrmsrl which
will zero extend for us. This allows ifdefs for 32/64 bit to
be eliminated.
Eliminate ifdef in step.c. Similar cleanup was done when unifying
kprobes_32|64.c and wrmsr() was chosen there over wrmsrl(). This
patch changes these to wrmsrl.

x86: change bios_cpu_apicid to percpu data variable
Change static bios_cpu_apicid array to a per_cpu data variable.
This includes using a static array used during initialization
similar to the way x86_cpu_to_apicid[] is handled.
There is one early use of bios_cpu_apicid in apic_is_clustered_box().
The other reference in cpu_present_to_apicid() is called after
smp_set_apicids() has setup the percpu version of bios_cpu_apicid.
