      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull x86 mm tree changes from Ingo Molnar:
       "The biggest change is full PAT support from Jürgen Gross:
      
           The x86 architecture offers via the PAT (Page Attribute Table) a
           way to specify different caching modes in page table entries.  The
           PAT MSR contains 8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache
           modes.  A pte references one of those entries via 3 bits:
           _PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD.
      
           The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes.
           The PAT MSR is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a
           pte doesn't matter: the top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same
           as the 4 lower entries.
      
           This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode.
           Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards
           which now have to use uncached accesses.
      
           OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and
           the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration
           for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of
           the ABI.
      
           This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces
           tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default
           cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0).  The tables
           are statically initialized with values being compatible to old
           processors and current usage.  As soon as the PAT MSR is changed
           (or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed
           accordingly.  Requests of mappings with special cache modes are
           always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a
           fallback to a compatible but slower mode.
      
           Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:
      
            - capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with
              full PAT support
      
            - processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as
              today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for
              some pages
      
            - reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode
      
        Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems,
        plus other smaller fixes"

      Pull irq domain updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "The real interesting irq updates:
      
         - Support for hierarchical irq domains:
      
           For complex interrupt routing scenarios where more than one
           interrupt related chip is involved we had no proper representation
           in the generic interrupt infrastructure so far.  That made people
           implement rather ugly constructs in their nested irq chip
           implementations.  The main offenders are x86 and arm/gic.
      
           To distangle that mess we have now hierarchical irqdomains which
           seperate the various interrupt chips and connect them via the
           hierarchical domains.  That keeps the domain specific details
           internal to the particular hierarchy level and removes the
           criss/cross referencing of chip internals.  The resulting hierarchy
           for a complex x86 system will look like this:
      
              vector          mapped: 74
                msi-0         mapped: 2
                dmar-ir-1     mapped: 69
                  ioapic-1    mapped: 4
                  ioapic-0    mapped: 20
                  pci-msi-2   mapped: 45
                dmar-ir-0     mapped: 3
                  ioapic-2    mapped: 1
                  pci-msi-1   mapped: 2
                htirq         mapped: 0
      
           Neither ioapic nor pci-msi know about the dmar interrupt remapping
           between themself and the vector domain.  If interrupt remapping is
           disabled ioapic and pci-msi become direct childs of the vector
           domain.
      
           In hindsight we should have done that years ago, but in hindsight
           we always know better :)
      
         - Support for generic MSI interrupt domain handling
      
           We have more and more non PCI related MSI interrupts, so providing
           a generic infrastructure for this is better than having all
           affected architectures implementing their own private hacks.
      
         - Support for PCI-MSI interrupt domain handling, based on the generic
           MSI support.
      
           This part carries the pci/msi branch from Bjorn Helgaas pci tree to
           avoid a massive conflict.  The PCI/MSI parts are acked by Bjorn.
      
        I have two more branches on top of this.  The full conversion of x86
        to hierarchical domains and a partial conversion of arm/gic"

         - support for big endian I/O accessors in the generic irq chip
      
         - cleanup of brcmstb/bcm7120 drivers so they can be reused for non

      x86/microcode/intel: Fish out the stashed microcode for the BSP · 25cdb9c8
      Borislav Petkov authored
      I'm such a moron! The simple solution of saving the BSP patch
      for use on resume was too simple (and wrong!), hint:
      sizeof(struct microcode_intel).
      
      What needs to be done instead is to fish out the microcode patch
      we have stashed previously and apply that on the BSP in case the
      late loader hasn't been utilized.
      
      So do that instead.
