Unlike ds and es, these are base addresses, not selectors.  Rename
them so their meaning is more obvious.

On x86_32, the field is still called fs.  Fixing that could make sense
as a future cleanup.

Now that all previous paravirt_enabled() uses were replaced with proper
x86 semantics by the previous patches we can remove the unused
paravirt_enabled() mechanism.

<title>x86/rtc: Replace paravirt rtc check with platform legacy quirk</title>
<updated>2016-04-22T08:29:01+00:00</updated>

<id>8d152e7a5c7537b18b4e9e0eb96f549b016636dc</id>
<content type='text'>
We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:

  * Intel MID
  * Lguest - uses paravirt
  * Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
  * x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag

We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.

For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.

As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:

TOTAL   TEXT   init.text    x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70     +62    +62          +43

Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.

<title>x86/entry/32: Add and check a stack canary for the SYSENTER stack</title>

The first instruction of the SYSENTER entry runs on its own tiny
stack.  That stack can be used if a #DB or NMI is delivered before
the SYSENTER prologue switches to a real stack.

We have code in place to prevent us from overflowing the tiny stack.
For added paranoia, add a canary to the stack and check it in
do_debug() -- that way, if something goes wrong with the #DB logic,
we'll eventually notice.

The SYSENTER stack is only used on 32-bit kernels.  Remove it on 64-bit kernels.

( We may end up using it down the road on 64-bit kernels. If so,
  we'll re-enable it for CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION. )

<title>x86/topology: Create logical package id</title>

<content type='text'>
For per package oriented services we must be able to rely on the number of CPU
packages to be within bounds. Create a tracking facility, which

- calculates the number of possible packages depending on nr_cpu_ids after boot

- makes sure that the package id is within the number of possible packages. If
  the apic id is outside we map it to a logical package id if there is enough
  space available.

Provide interfaces for drivers to query the mapping and do translations from
physcial to logical ids.
