commit cd4d09ec6f6c12a2cc3db5b7d8876a325a53545b upstream

Move them to a separate header and have the following
dependency:

  x86/cpufeatures.h &lt;- x86/processor.h &lt;- x86/cpufeature.h

This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not
include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

commit 362f924b64ba0f4be2ee0cb697690c33d40be721 upstream.

Those are stupid and code should use static_cpu_has_safe() or
boot_cpu_has() instead. Kill the least used and unused ones.

The remaining ones need more careful inspection before a conversion can
happen. On the TODO.

<title>drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix x86 with CONFIG_OF enabled</title>

<content type='text'>
commit fac51482577d5e05bbb0efa8d602a3c2111098bf upstream.

With CONFIG_OF enabled on x86, we get the following error on boot:
"
	Failed to find cpu0 device node
 	Unable to detect cache hierarchy from DT for CPU 0
"
and the cacheinfo fails to get populated in the corresponding sysfs
entries. This is because cache_setup_of_node looks for of_node for
setting up the shared cpu_map without checking that it's already
populated in the architecture specific callback.

In order to indicate that the shared cpu_map is already populated, this
patch introduces a boolean `cpu_map_populated` in struct cpu_cacheinfo
that can be used by the generic code to skip cache_shared_cpu_map_setup.

This patch also sets that boolean for x86.

In talking to Aravind recently about making certain AMD topology
attributes available to the MCE injection module, it seemed like
that CONFIG_X86_HT thing is more or less superfluous. It is
def_bool y, depends on SMP and gets enabled in the majority of
.configs - distro and otherwise - out there.

So let's kill it and make code behind it depend directly on SMP.

<title>x86/cpu/cacheinfo: Fix cache_get_priv_group() for Intel processors</title>

The private pointer provided by the cacheinfo code is used to implement
the AMD L3 cache-specific attributes using a pointer to the northbridge
descriptor. It is needed for performing L3-specific operations and for
that we need a couple of PCI devices and other service information, all
contained in the northbridge descriptor.

This results in failure of cacheinfo setup as shown below as
cache_get_priv_group() returns the uninitialised private attributes which
are not valid for Intel processors.

This patch fixes the issue by checking if the L3 cache indices are

attributes.

<title>x86/cacheinfo: Move cacheinfo sysfs code to generic infrastructure</title>

<id>0d55ba46bfbee64fd2b492b87bfe2ec172e7b056</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes the redundant sysfs cacheinfo code by reusing
the newly introduced generic cacheinfo infrastructure through the
commit

  246246cbde5e ("drivers: base: support cpu cache information
		 interface to userspace via sysfs")

The private pointer provided by the cacheinfo is used to implement
the AMD L3 cache-specific attributes.

Note that with v4.0-rc1, commit

  513e3d2d11c9 ("cpumask: always use nr_cpu_ids in formatting and parsing
		 functions")

in particular changes from long format to shorter one for all cpumasks
sysfs entries. As the consequence of the same, even the shared_cpu_map
in the cacheinfo sysfs was also changed.

This patch neither alters any existing sysfs entries nor their
formating, however since the generic cacheinfo has switched to use the
device attributes instead of the traditional raw kobjects, a directory
named "power" along with its standard attributes are added similar to
any other device.

This patch neither alters any existing sysfs entries nor their
formating, however since the generic cacheinfo has switched to use the
device attributes instead of the traditional raw kobjects, a directory
named "power" along with its standard attributes are added similar to
any other device.

<title>x86: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including cpumasks and nodemasks</title>

<id>bf58b4879c33b3475a33740562ebf6583f531d4a</id>
<content type='text'>
printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'.  cpumask
and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args()
respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments
necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask.

* Unnecessary buffer size calculation and condition on the lenght
  removed from intel_cacheinfo.c::show_shared_cpu_map_func().

* uv_nmi_nr_cpus_pr() got overly smart and implemented "..."
  abbreviation if the output stretched over the predefined 1024 byte
  buffer.  Replaced with plain printk.

<title>x86, cpu: Fix cache topology for early P4-SMT</title>

P4 systems with cpuid level &lt; 4 can have SMT, but the cache topology
description available (cpuid2) does not include SMP information.

Now we know that SMT shares all cache levels, and therefore we can
mark all available cache levels as shared.

We do this by setting cpu_llc_id to -&gt;phys_proc_id, since that's
the same for each SMT thread. We can do this unconditional since if
there's no SMT its still true, the one CPU shares cache with only
itself.

This fixes a problem where such CPUs report an incorrect LLC CPU mask.

This in turn fixes a crash in the scheduler where the topology was
build wrong, it assumes the LLC mask to include at least the SMT CPUs.
