x86/cpu: Merge bugs.c and bugs_64.c

2016-10-25T09:48:50+00:00

Should be easier when following boot paths. It probably is a left over
from the x86 unification eons ago.

No functionality change.

x86/fpu: Move various internal function prototypes to fpu/internal.h

2015-05-19T13:47:48+00:00

There are a number of FPU internal function prototypes and an inline function
in fpu/api.h, mostly placed so historically as the code grew over the years.

Move them over into fpu/internal.h where they belong. (Add sched.h include
to stackprotector.h which incorrectly relied on getting it from fpu/api.h.)

fpu/api.h is now a pure file that only contains FPU APIs intended for driver
use.

x86/fpu: Rename i387.h to fpu/api.h

2015-05-19T13:47:30+00:00

We already have fpu/types.h, move i387.h to fpu/api.h.

The file name has become a misnomer anyway: it offers generic FPU APIs,
but is not limited to i387 functionality.

x86/fpu: Factor out the FPU bug detection code into fpu__init_check_bugs()

2015-05-19T13:47:18+00:00

Move the boot-time FPU bug detection code to the other FPU boot time
init code in fpu/init.c.

No change in code size:

x86: Get rid of ->hard_math and all the FPU asm fu

2013-06-06T21:32:04+00:00

Reimplement FPU detection code in C and drop old, not-so-recommended
detection method in asm. Move all the relevant stuff into i387.c where
it conceptually belongs. Finally drop cpuinfo_x86.hard_math.

[ hpa: huge thanks to Borislav for taking my original concept patch
  and productizing it ]

[ Boris, note to self: do not use static_cpu_has before alternatives! ]

x86 idle: remove 32-bit-only "no-hlt" parameter, hlt_works_ok flag

2013-02-10T08:32:22+00:00

Remove 32-bit x86 a cmdline param "no-hlt",
and the cpuinfo_x86.hlt_works_ok that it sets.

If a user wants to avoid HLT, then "idle=poll"
is much more useful, as it avoids invocation of HLT
in idle, while "no-hlt" failed to do so.

Indeed, hlt_works_ok was consulted in only 3 places.

First, in /proc/cpuinfo where "hlt_bug yes"
would be printed if and only if the user booted
the system with "no-hlt" -- as there was no other code
to set that flag.

Second, check_hlt() would not invoke halt() if "no-hlt"
were on the cmdline.

Third, it was consulted in stop_this_cpu(), which is invoked
by native_machine_halt()/reboot_interrupt()/smp_stop_nmi_callback() --
all cases where the machine is being shutdown/reset.
The flag was not consulted in the more frequently invoked
play_dead()/hlt_play_dead() used in processor offline and suspend.

Since Linux-3.0 there has been a run-time notice upon "no-hlt" invocations
indicating that it would be removed in 2012.

x86, 386 removal: Remove CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK

The check_popad() routine tested for a 386-specific bug, and never
actually did anything useful with it anyway other than print a
