<title>x86/platform: Remove incorrect error message in x86_default_fixup_cpu_id()</title>

It's only called from amd.c:srat_detect_node(). The introduced
condition for calling the fixup code is true for all AMD
multi-node processors, e.g. Magny-Cours and Interlagos. There we
have 2 NUMA nodes on one socket. Thus there are cores having
different numa-node-id but with equal phys_proc_id.

There is no point to print error messages in such a situation.

The confusing/misleading error message was introduced with
commit 64be4c1c2428e148de6081af235e2418e6a66dda ("x86: Add
x86_init platform override to fix up NUMA core numbering").

Remove the default fixup function (especially the error message)
and replace it by a NULL pointer check, move the
Numascale-specific condition for calling the fixup into the
fixup-function itself and slightly adapt the comment.

Pull x86 updates from Ingo Molnar.

This touches some non-x86 files due to the sanitized INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK
config usage.

Fixed up trivial conflicts due to just header include changes (removing
headers due to cpu_idle() merge clashing with the &lt;asm/system.h&gt; split).

Pull &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
 "The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
  &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; file.  Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
  in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e.  the support for BUILD_BUG in
  linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
  kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As a band-aid, kernel.h
  was including &lt;asm/bug.h&gt; to pseudo link them.

  This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.  Here
  is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:

      CC      lib/string.o
      lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
      lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
      make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
      $
      $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
      #include &lt;linux/bug.h&gt;
      $

  We've included &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
  still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
  very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.

  With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:

  1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
     implicit presence of BUG code.
  2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
     relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
  3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to &lt;linux/bug.h&gt;
  4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.

  During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.  But
  to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
  failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem
  areas in advance.

Since we already have a debugreg.h header file, move the
assoc. get/set functions to it.  In addition to it being the
logical home for them, it has a secondary advantage.  The
functions that are moved use BUG().  So we really need to
have linux/bug.h in scope.  But asm/processor.h is used about
600 times, vs. only about 15 for debugreg.h -- so adding bug.h
to the latter reduces the amount of time we'll be processing
it during a compile.

<title>i387: Split up &lt;asm/i387.h&gt; into exported and internal interfaces</title>

<id>1361b83a13d4d92e53fbb6c877528713e118b821</id>
<content type='text'>
While various modules include &lt;asm/i387.h&gt; to get access to things we
actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really
pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to
others.

So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain
in &lt;asm/i387.h&gt;, while the internal definitions that are only used by
core architecture code are now in &lt;asm/fpu-internal.h&gt;.

The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to
modules, and leave them in &lt;asm/i387.h&gt;, while stuff that is used by
task switching or was marked GPL-only is in &lt;asm/fpu-internal.h&gt;.

The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since
arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module.  But that
kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the
internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained.  Even if it
isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.

core architecture code are now in &lt;asm/fpu-internal.h&gt;.

The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to
modules, and leave them in &lt;asm/i387.h&gt;, while stuff that is used by
task switching or was marked GPL-only is in &lt;asm/fpu-internal.h&gt;.

The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since
arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module.  But that
kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the
internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained.  Even if it
isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.

Instead of exporting the very low-level internals of the FPU state
save/restore code (ie things like 'fpu_owner_task'), we should export
the higher-level interfaces.

Inlining these things is pointless anyway: sure, sometimes the end
result is small, but while 'stts()' can result in just three x86
instructions, those are not cheap instructions (writing %cr0 is a
serializing instruction and a very slow one at that).

So the overhead of a function call is not noticeable, and we really
don't want random modules mucking about with our internal state save
logic anyway.

So this unexports 'fpu_owner_task', and instead uninlines and exports
the actual functions that modules can use: fpu_kernel_begin/end() and
unlazy_fpu().

(And define it properly for x86-32, which had its 'current_task'
declaration in separate from x86-64)

Bitten by my dislike for modules on the machines I use, and the fact
that apparently nobody else actually wanted to test the patches I sent
out.

Snif. Nobody else cares.

Anyway, we probably should uninline the 'kernel_fpu_begin()' function
that is what modules actually use and that references this, but this is
the minimal fix for now.
