The kernel built with MCRUSOE is unbootable on Transmeta Crusoe. It shows
the following error message:
This kernel requires an i686 CPU, but only detected an i586 CPU.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.
Remove MCRUSOE from the condition introduced in commit in Fixes, effectively
changing X86_MINIMUM_CPU_FAMILY back to 5 on that machine, which matches the
CPU family given by CPUID.

While looking at a Xen Kconfig dependency issue, I tried to understand the
exact dependencies for CONFIG_X86_PAE, which is selected by CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G
but can also be enabled manually.
Apparently the dependencies for CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G are strictly about CPUs
that do support PAE, but the actual feature can be incorrectly enabled on
older CPUs as well. The CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 dependencies on the other hand
include X86_PAE because cmpxchg8b is requried for PAE to work.
Rework this for readability and correctness, using a positive list of CPUs
that support PAE in a new X86_HAVE_PAE symbol that can serve as a dependency
for both X86_PAE and HIGHMEM64G as well as simplify the X86_CMPXCHG64
dependency list.

While discussing to change the visibility of X86_FEATURE_NAMES (see Link)
in order to remove CONFIG_EMBEDDED, Boris suggested to simply make the
X86_FEATURE_NAMES functionality unconditional.
As the need for really tiny kernel images has gone away and kernel images
with !X86_FEATURE_NAMES are hardly tested, remove this config and the whole
ifdeffery in the source code.

DM&P devices were not being properly identified, which resulted in
unneeded Spectre/Meltdown mitigations being applied.
The manufacturer states that these devices execute always in-order and
don't support either speculative execution or branch prediction, so
they are not vulnerable to this class of attack. [1]
This is something I've personally tested by a simple timing analysis
on my Vortex86MX CPU, and can confirm it is true.
Add identification for some devices that lack the CPUID product name
call, so they appear properly on /proc/cpuinfo.

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:
$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

Add an entry in struct cpuinfo_x86 to track VMX capabilities and fill
the capabilities during IA32_FEAT_CTL MSR initialization.
Make the VMX capabilities dependent on IA32_FEAT_CTL and
X86_FEATURE_NAMES so as to avoid unnecessary overhead on CPUs that can't
possibly support VMX, or when /proc/cpuinfo is not available.

Opportunistically initialize IA32_FEAT_CTL to enable VMX when the MSR is
left unlocked by BIOS. Configuring feature control at boot time paves
the way for similar enabling of other features, e.g. Software Guard
Extensions (SGX).
Temporarily leave equivalent KVM code in place in order to avoid
introducing a regression on Centaur and Zhaoxin CPUs, e.g. removing
KVM's code would leave the MSR unlocked on those CPUs and would break
existing functionality if people are loading kvm_intel on Centaur and/or
Zhaoxin. Defer enablement of the boot-time configuration on Centaur and
Zhaoxin to future patches to aid bisection.
Note, Local Machine Check Exceptions (LMCE) are also supported by the
kernel and enabled via feature control, but the kernel currently uses
LMCE if and only if the feature is explicitly enabled by BIOS. Keep
the current behavior to avoid introducing bugs, future patches can opt
in to opportunistic enabling if it's deemed desirable to do so.
Always lock IA32_FEAT_CTL if it exists, even if the CPU doesn't support
VMX, so that other existing and future kernel code that queries the MSR
can assume it's locked.
Start from a clean slate when constructing the value to write to
IA32_FEAT_CTL, i.e. ignore whatever value BIOS left in the MSR so as not
to enable random features or fault on the WRMSR.

The FPU emulation code is old and fragile in places, try to limit its
use to builds for CPUs that actually use it. As far as I can tell,
this is only true for i486sx compatibles, including the Cyrix 486SLC,
AMD Am486SX and ÉLAN SC410, UMC U5S amd DM&P VortexSX86, all of which
were relatively short-lived and got replaced with i486DX compatible
processors soon after introduction, though some of the embedded versions
remained available much longer.

The X86_P6_NOP config class leaves out many i686-class CPUs. Instead,
explicitly enumerate all these CPUs.
Using a configuration with M686 currently sets X86_MINIMUM_CPU_FAMILY=5
instead of the correct value of 6.
Booting on an i586 it will fail to generate the "This kernel
requires an i686 CPU, but only detected an i586 CPU" message and
intentional halt as expected. It will instead just silently hang
when it hits i686-specific instructions.

Several i586-class CPUs supporting this instruction are missing from

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The main goal here is to have the resulting .config no carry any
options that aren't enabled and can't be (i.e such where the
default is "no" and can't be changed), so that if any such
option later gets a user visible prompt, the user will actually
be prompted on a "make ...oldconfig" rather than keeping the
previously invisible option disabled.
There's a little bit of other trivial cleanup mixed in here.

Building in support for either of these CPUs is pointless when
e.g. M686 was selected (since such a kernel would use cmov
instructions, which aren't available on these older CPUs).

Currently cache alignment among nodes in the kernel is still 128
bytes on x86 NUMA machines - we got that X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT
default from old P4 processors.
But now most modern x86 CPUs use the same size: 64 bytes from L1 to
last level L3. so let's remove the incorrect setting, and directly
use the L1 cache size to do SMP cache line alignment.
This patch saves some memory space on kernel data, and it also
improves the cache locality of kernel data.
The System.map is quite different with/without this change:

A simple implementation that only supports the word size and does not
have a fallback mode (would require a spinlock).
Add 32 and 64 bit support for cmpxchg_double. cmpxchg double uses
the cmpxchg8b or cmpxchg16b instruction on x86 processors to compare
and swap 2 machine words. This allows lockless algorithms to move more
context information through critical sections.
Set a flag CONFIG_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE to signal that support for double word
cmpxchg detection has been build into the kernel. Note that each subsystem
using cmpxchg_double has to implement a fall back mechanism as long as
we offer support for processors that do not implement cmpxchg_double.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

The cache flush denied error is an erratum on some AMD 486 clones. If an invd
instruction is executed in userspace, the processor calls exception 19 (13 hex)
instead of #GP (13 decimal). On cpus where XMM is not supported, redirect
exception 19 to do_general_protection(). Also, remove die_if_kernel(), since
this was the last user.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.
Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.
So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

|

This one is much faster than the spinlock based fallback rwsem code,
with certain artifical benchmarks having shown 300%+ improvement on
threaded page faults etc.
Again, note the 32767-thread limit here. So this really does need that
whole "make rwsem_count_t be 64-bit and fix the BIAS values to match"
extension on top of it, but that is conceptually a totally independent
issue.
NOT TESTED! The original patch that this all was based on were tested by
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki, but maybe I screwed up something when I created the
cleaned-up series, so caveat emptor..
Also note that it _may_ be a good idea to mark some more registers
clobbered on x86-64 in the inline asms instead of saving/restoring them.
They are inline functions, but they are only used in places where there
are not a lot of live registers _anyway_, so doing for example the
clobbers of %r8-%r11 in the asm wouldn't make the fast-path code any
worse, and would make the slow-path code smaller.
(Not that the slow-path really matters to that degree. Saving a few
unnecessary registers is the _least_ of our problems when we hit the slow
path. The instruction/cycle counting really only matters in the fast
path).

This reverts commit ae1b22f6e46c03cede7cea234d0bf2253b4261cf.
As Linus said in 982d007a6ee: "There was something really messy about
cmpxchg8b and clone CPU's, so if you enable it on other CPUs later, do it
carefully."
This breaks lguest for those configs, but we can fix that by emulating
if we have to.
