x86, boot: Carve out early cmdline parsing function

2014-05-21T03:21:24+00:00

Carve out early cmdline parsing function into .../lib/cmdline.c so it
can be used by early code in the kernel proper as well.

Adapted from arch/x86/boot/cmdline.c.

x86: Fix typo preventing msr_set/clear_bit from having an effect

2014-05-09T15:42:32+00:00

Due to a typo the msr accessor function introduced in
22085a66c2fab6cf9b9393c056a3600a6b4735de didn't have any lasting
effects because they accidentally wrote the old value back.

After c0a639ad0bc6b178b46996bd1f821a04643e2bde this at the very least
this causes cpuid limits not to be lifted on some cpus leading to
missing capabilities for those.

kprobes, x86: Prohibit probing on thunk functions and restore

2014-04-24T08:02:58+00:00

thunk/restore functions are also used for tracing irqoff etc.
and those are involved in kprobe's exception handling.
Prohibit probing on them to avoid kernel crash.

Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
 "More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
  (LTO).  Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
  assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
  remove them.

  My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
  upstream in binutils, but are on the way there.  This patchset should
  conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
  enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
  with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
  necessarily in this merge window"

... to match the function's parameters. While reportedly commutative,
using the proper order allows for leveraging the instruction permitting
the source operand to be in memory.

[ hpa: This code originated in the dpdk toolkit.  This was a bug in dpdk
  which has recently been fixed in part due to an earlier version of
  this patch. ]

x86, hash: Fix build failure with older binutils

2014-03-19T23:51:04+00:00

Just like for other ISA extension instruction uses we should check
whether the assembler actually supports them. The fallback here simply
is to encode an instruction  with fixed operands (%eax and %ecx).
