When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

When vendor-specific i386 initialization code is unavailable the kernel
falls back to a default CPU model name. Make that model name reflect the
CPU family instead of an internal vendor index.
Tested on Pentium II (family 6 model 5).

model name : ff/05
after:
model name : 06/05

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.
Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.
The changes in detail:
* The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
the SMP alternatives code is added there.
* The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
.smp_altinstructions
like .altinstructions, also contains a list
of alt_instr structs.
.smp_altinstr_replacement
like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
save original instruction before replaving it.
.smp_locks
list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
out on UP.
The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible
to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
* The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
can be free if they are not needed.
* Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

powernow-k8: Let cpufreq driver handle affected CPUs
Let the cpufreq driver manage AMD Dual-Core CPUs being tied together.
Since cpufreq driver's affected CPUs data, cpufreq_policy->cpus, already
knows about which cores are tied together, powernow driver does not have
keep its internal data for every core. (even a pointer.. it will never
be called on) Telling cpufreq driver about cpu_core_map at init time is
sufficient.

Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.
Fix that by:
1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
to a safe default when the vendor is not found.
This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already
but no error was reported.

Print bits for RDTSCP, SVM, CR8-LEGACY.
Also now print power flags on i386 like x86-64 always did.
This will add a new line in the 386 cpuinfo, but that shouldn't
be an issue - did that in the past too and I haven't heard
of any breakage.
I shrunk some of the fields in the i386 cpuinfo_x86 to chars
to make up for the new int "x86_power" field. Overall it's

Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a

(which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is

What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of
changing frequency?
Today the answer is: It depends.
On i386:
SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency
UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set.
On x86_64:
There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So,
the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the
CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc
capable CPU or not.
On ia64:
It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed.
The patch below changes this to:
Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If
cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency
will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

The attached patch introduces runtime latency measurement for ICH[234]
based chipsets instead of using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL. It includes
some sanity checks in case the measured value is out of range and
assigns a safe value of 500uSec that should still be enough on
problematics chipsets (current testing report values ~200uSec). The
measurement is currently done in speedstep_get_freqs in order to avoid
further unnecessary transitions and in the hope it'll come handy for SMI
also.

Linux invokes the AML _PDC method (Processor Driver Capabilities)
to tell the BIOS what features it can handle. While the ACPI
spec says nothing about the OS invoking _PDC multiple times,
doing so with changing bits seems to hopelessly confuse the BIOS
on multiple platforms up to and including crashing the system.
Factor out the _PDC invocation so Linux invokes it only once.
