As requested by Linus add explicit __visible to the asmlinkage users.
This marks all functions visible to assembler.

The following commit:

  27f6c573e0f7 ("x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms")

Added two preemption bugs:

 - machine_check_poll() does a get_cpu_var() without a matching
   put_cpu_var(), which causes preemption imbalance and crashes upon
   bootup.

 - it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
   disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.

To fix these bugs fix the imbalance and change
cmci_discover_lock to a regular spinlock.

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a collection of minor fixes for x86, plus the IRET information
  leak fix (forbid the use of 16-bit segments in 64-bit mode)"

NOTE! We may have to relax the "forbid the use of 16-bit segments in
64-bit mode" part, since there may be people who still run and depend on
16-bit Windows binaries under Wine.

But I'm taking this in the current unconditional form for now to see who
(if anybody) screams bloody murder.  Maybe nobody cares.  And maybe
we'll have to update it with some kind of runtime enablement (like our
vm.mmap_min_addr tunable that people who run dosemu/qemu/wine already
need to tweak).

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels
  efi: Pass correct file handle to efi_file_{read,close}
  x86/efi: Correct EFI boot stub use of code32_start
  x86/efi: Fix boot failure with EFI stub
  x86/platform/hyperv: Handle VMBUS driver being a module

<content type='text'>
When CMCI storm persists for a long time(at least beyond predefined
threshold. It's 30 seconds for now), we can watch CMCI storm is
detected immediately after it subsides.

...
Dec 10 22:04:29 kernel: CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode
Dec 10 22:04:59 kernel: CMCI storm subsided: switching to interrupt mode
Dec 10 22:04:59 kernel: CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode
Dec 10 22:05:29 kernel: CMCI storm subsided: switching to interrupt mode
...

The problem is that our logic that determines that the storm has
ended is incorrect. We announce the end, re-enable interrupts and
realize that the storm is still going on, so we switch back to
polling mode. Rinse, repeat.

When a storm happens we disable signaling of errors via CMCI and begin
polling machine check banks instead. If we find any logged errors,
then we need to set a per-cpu flag so that our per-cpu tests that
check whether the storm is ongoing will see that errors are still
being logged independently of whether mce_notify_irq() says that the
error has been fully processed.

cmci_clear() is not the right tool to disable a bank. It disables the
interrupt for the bank as desired, but it also clears the bit for
this bank in "mce_banks_owned" so we will skip the bank when polling
(so we fail to see that the storm continues because we stop looking).
New cmci_storm_disable_banks() just disables the interrupt while
allowing polling to continue.

After fixing the CPU hotplug callback registration code, the callbacks
invoked for each online CPU, during the initialization phase in
thermal_throttle_init_device(), can no longer race with the actual CPU
hotplug notifier callbacks (in thermal_throttle_cpu_callback). Hence the
therm_cpu_lock is unnecessary now. Remove it.

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&amp;foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&amp;foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the thermal throttle code in x86 by using this latter form of callback
registration.

Pull x86 RAS changes from Ingo Molnar:

 - SCI reporting for other error types not only correctable ones

 - GHES cleanups

 - Add the functionality to override error reporting agents as some
   machines are sporting a new extended error logging capability which,
   if done properly in the BIOS, makes a corresponding EDAC module
   redundant

 - PCIe AER tracepoint severity levels fix

 - Error path correction for the mce device init

 - MCE timer fix

 - Add more flexibility to the error injection (EINJ) debugfs interface

* 'x86-ras-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86, mce: Fix mce_start_timer semantics
  ACPI, APEI, GHES: Cleanup ghes memory error handling
  ACPI, APEI: Cleanup alignment-aware accesses
  ACPI, APEI, GHES: Do not report only correctable errors with SCI
  ACPI, APEI, EINJ: Changes to the ACPI/APEI/EINJ debugfs interface
  ACPI, eMCA: Combine eMCA/EDAC event reporting priority
  EDAC, sb_edac: Modify H/W event reporting policy

Pull x86 RAS changes from Ingo Molnar:

 - SCI reporting for other error types not only correctable ones

 - GHES cleanups

 - Add the functionality to override error reporting agents as some
   machines are sporting a new extended error logging capability which,
   if done properly in the BIOS, makes a corresponding EDAC module
   redundant

 - PCIe AER tracepoint severity levels fix

 - Error path correction for the mce device init

 - MCE timer fix

 - Add more flexibility to the error injection (EINJ) debugfs interface

So mce_start_timer() has a 'cpu' argument which is supposed to mean to
start a timer on that cpu. However, the code currently starts a timer on
the *current* cpu the function runs on and causes the sanity-check in
mce_timer_fn to fire:

	WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:1286 mce_timer_fn

because it is running on the wrong cpu.

This was triggered by Prarit Bhargava &lt;prarit@redhat.com&gt; by offlining
all the cpus in succession.

Then, we were fiddling with the CMCI storm settings when starting the
timer whereas there's no need for that - if there's storm happening
on this newly restarted cpu, we're going to be in normal CMCI mode
initially and then when the CMCI interrupt starts firing, we're going to
go to the polling mode with the timer real soon.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.
