Take out part of get_local_pda referencing __init function (free_bootmem)
to new (static) function marked as __ref. It's safe to do because free_bootmem
is called before __init sections are dropped.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuinit.text+0x3cd7): Section mismatch in reference from the function get_local_pda() to the function .init.text:free_bootmem()
The function __cpuinit get_local_pda() references

If free_bootmem is only used by get_local_pda then
annotate free_bootmem with a matching annotation.

arch/x86/power/cpu_32.c __save_processor_state calls read_cr4()
only a i486 CPU doesn't have the CR4 register. Trying to read it
produces an invalid opcode oops during suspend to disk.
Use the safe rc4 reading op instead. If the value to be written is
zero the write is skipped.
arch/x86/power/hibernate_asm_32.S
done: swapped the use of %eax and %ecx to use jecxz for
the zero test and jump over store to %cr4.
restore_image: s/%ecx/%eax/ to be consistent with done:
In addition to __save_processor_state, acpi_save_state_mem,
efi_call_phys_prelog, and efi_call_phys_epilog had checks added
(acpi restore was in assembly and already had a check for
non-zero). There were other reads and writes of CR4, but MCE and
virtualization shouldn't be executed on a i486 anyway.

Jean Delvare's machine triggered this BUG
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:233!
with ACPI in the backtrace.
Adding some debugging output showed that ACPI calls
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
And ioremap/PAT does this check in 32bit, so addr+size wraps and the BUG
in reserve_memtype() triggers incorrectly.
BUG_ON(start >= end); /* end is exclusive */
But reserve_memtype already uses u64:
int reserve_memtype(u64 start, u64 end,
so the 32bit truncation must happen in the caller. Presumably in ioremap
when it passes this information to reserve_memtype().
This patch does this computation in 64bit.

Do we actually want these DirectMap lines in the x86 /proc/meminfo?
I can see they're interesting to CPA developers and TLB optimizers,
but they don't fit its usual "where has all my memory gone?" usage.
If they are to stay, here are some fixes.
1. On x86_32 without PAE, they're not 2M but 4M pages: no need to
mess with the internal enum, but show the right name to users.
2. Many machines can never show anything but 0 for DirectMap1G,
so suppress that line unless direct_gbpages are really enabled.
3. The unit in /proc/meminfo is kB not number of pages: HugePages
messed that up, but they're an example to regret not to follow.
4. Once we use kB, it's easy to see that 1GB has gone missing (which
explains why CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG=y soon wraps DirectMap2M negative):
because head_64.S's level2_ident_pgt entries were not counted.
My fix is not ideal, but works for more and for less than 1G,
and avoids interfering with early bootup pagetable contortions.

When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed
to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed.
Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush,
which can add dirty data back to the cache. On some AMD platforms,
additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because
of this dirty data.
Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before
halting. Tie into an assembly line so the compile will not
reorder it. Add some documentation explaining what is going
on and why we're doing this.

AMD SB700 based systems with spread spectrum enabled use a SMM based
HPET emulation to provide proper frequency setting. The SMM code is
initialized with the first HPET register access and takes some time to
complete. During this time the config register reads 0xffffffff. We
check for max. 1000 loops whether the config register reads a non
0xffffffff value to make sure that HPET is up and running before we go
further. A counting loop is safe, as the HPET access takes thousands
of CPU cycles. On non SB700 based machines this check is only done
once and has no side effects.

For some reason we had two parsers registered for maxcpus=. One in init/main.c
and another in arch/x86/smpboot.c. So I nuked the one in arch/x86.
Also 64-bit kernels used to handle maxcpus= as documented in
Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt. CPUs with 'id > maxcpus' are initialized
but not booted. 32-bit version for some reason ignored them even though
all the infrastructure for booting them later is there.
In the current mainline both 64 and 32 bit versions are broken.
This patch restores the correct behaviour. I've tested x86_64 version on
4- and 8- way Core2 and 2-way Opteron based machines. Various config
combinations SMP, !SMP, CPU_HOTPLUG, !CPU_HOTPLUG.
Booted with maxcpus=1 and maxcpus=4, etc. Everything is working as expected.
So far we've received two reports from different people confirming that 32-bit
version also works fine, both on dual core laptops and 16way server machines.

yesterday I tried to reactivate my old 486 box and wanted to install a
current Linux with latest kernel on it. But it turned out that the
latest kernel does not boot because the machine crashes early in the
setup code.
After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the query_ist()
function. If this interrupt with that function is called the machine
simply locks up. It looks like a BIOS bug. Looking for a workaround for
this problem I wrote the attached patch. It checks for the CPUID
instruction and if it is not implemented it does not call the speedstep
BIOS function. As far as I know speedstep should be available since some
Pentium earliest.
Alan Cox observed that it's available since the Pentium II, so cpuid
levels 4 and 5 can be excluded altogether.
H. Peter Anvin cleaned up the code some more:
> Right in concept, but I dislike the implementation (duplication of the
> CPU detect code we already have). Could you try this patch and see if
> it works for you?
which, with a small modification to fix a build error with it the
resulting kernel boots on my machine.
