93dbda7cbc x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocations
Impact: new interface

Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations.  This is better than
using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
get used.

The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
something into it.

The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
(__brk_base to __brk_limit).  The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
up to __bss_stop.

Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
kernel memory pool.

Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
with a big kernel image and no PSE support).  So long as the system
has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

129d8bc828 x86: don't compile vsmp_64 for 32bit
Impact: cleanup

that is only needed when CONFIG_X86_VSMP is defined with 64bit
also remove dead code about PCI, because CONFIG_X86_VSMP depends on PCI

2b6163bf57 x86: remove update_apic from x86_quirks
Impact: cleanup

x86_quirks->update_apic() calling looks crazy. so try to remove it:

 1. every apic take wakeup_cpu member directly
 2. separate es7000_apic to es7000_apic_cluster
 3. use uv_wakeup_cpu directly

8e6dafd6c7 x86: refactor x86_quirks support
Impact: cleanup

Make x86_quirks support more transparent. The highlevel
methods are now named:

  extern void x86_quirk_pre_intr_init(void);
  extern void x86_quirk_intr_init(void);

  extern void x86_quirk_trap_init(void);

  extern void x86_quirk_pre_time_init(void);
  extern void x86_quirk_time_init(void);

This makes it clear that if some platform extension has to
do something here that it is considered ... weird, and is
discouraged.

Also remove arch_hooks.h and move it into setup.h (and other
header files where appropriate).

be163a159b x86, apic: rename 'genapic' to 'apic'
Impact: cleanup

Now that all APIC code is consolidated there's nothing 'gen' about
apics anymore - so rename 'struct genapic' to 'struct apic'.

This shortens the code and is nicer to read as well.

Impact: fix wakeup_secondary_cpu with hotplug

We can not put that into x86_quirks, because that is __initdata.
So try to move that to genapic, and add update_genapic in x86_quirks.

later we even could use that stub to:

 1. autodetect CONFIG_ES7000_CLUSTERED_APIC
 2. more correct inquire_remote_apic with apic_verbosity setting.

569712b2b0 x86: fix wakeup_cpu with numaq/es7000, v2
Impact: fix secondary-CPU wakeup/init path with numaq and es7000

While looking at wakeup_secondary_cpu for WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI:

|#ifdef WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI
|/*
| * Poke the other CPU in the eye via NMI to wake it up. Remember that the normal
| * INIT, INIT, STARTUP sequence will reset the chip hard for us, and this
| * won't ... remember to clear down the APIC, etc later.
| */
|static int __devinit
|wakeup_secondary_cpu(int logical_apicid, unsigned long start_eip)
|{
|        unsigned long send_status, accept_status = 0;
|        int maxlvt;
|...
|        if (APIC_INTEGRATED(apic_version[phys_apicid])) {
|                maxlvt = lapic_get_maxlvt();

I noticed that there is no warning about undefined phys_apicid...

because WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI and WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_INIT can not be
defined at the same time. So NUMAQ is using wrong wakeup_secondary_cpu.

WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI, WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_INIT and
WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_MIP are variants of a weird and fragile
preprocessor-driven "HAL" mechanisms to specify the kind of secondary-CPU
wakeup strategy a given x86 kernel will use.

The vast majority of systems want to use INIT for secondary wakeup - NUMAQ
uses an NMI, (old-style-) ES7000 uses 'MIP' (a firmware driven in-memory
flag to let secondaries continue).

So convert these mechanisms to x86_quirks and add a
->wakeup_secondary_cpu() method to specify the rare exception
to the sane default.

Extend genapic accordingly as well, for 32-bit.

While looking further, I noticed that functions in wakecup.h for numaq
and es7000 are different to the default in mach_wakecpu.h - but smpboot.c
will only use default mach_wakecpu.h with smphook.h.

So we need to add mach_wakecpu.h for mach_generic, to properly support
numaq and es7000, and vectorize the following SMP init methods:

	int trampoline_phys_low;
	int trampoline_phys_high;
	void (*wait_for_init_deassert)(atomic_t *deassert);
	void (*smp_callin_clear_local_apic)(void);
	void (*store_NMI_vector)(unsigned short *high, unsigned short *low);
	void (*restore_NMI_vector)(unsigned short *high, unsigned short *low);
	void (*inquire_remote_apic)(int apicid);
