Building for Athlon/Duron/K7 results in the following build error,
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.o: In function `__constant_memcpy3d':
eboot.c:(.text+0x385): undefined reference to `_mmx_memcpy'
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.o: In function `efi_main':
eboot.c:(.text+0x1a22): undefined reference to `_mmx_memcpy'
because the boot stub code doesn't link with the kernel proper, and
therefore doesn't have access to the 3DNow version of memcpy. So,
follow the example of misc.c and #undef memcpy so that we use the
version provided by misc.c.

commit 611ae8e3f5204f7480b3b405993b3352cfa16662('enable tlb flush range
support for x86') change flush_tlb_mm_range() considerably. After this,
we test whether vmflag equal to VM_HUGETLB and it may be always failed,
because vmflag usually has other flags simultaneously.
Our intention is to check whether this vma is for hughtlb, so correct it
according to this purpose.

The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of
some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache.
This patch disables it on the affected CPUs.
The issue is similar to that one of last year:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html
This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another
quirk for newer CPUs.
The performance penalty without the patch depends on the
circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%.
The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same
physical page under different virtual addresses, so different
processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of
PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both
cores of the same compute unit.
More details can be found here:
http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf
CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver.
That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the
just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera).
The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2,
A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the
range of model ids.

Some CE4100 devices such as the:
- DFX module (01:0b.7)
- entertainment encryption device (01:10.0)
- multimedia controller (01:12.0)
do not have a device interrupt at all.
This patch fixes the PCI controller code to declare the missing
PCI configuration register space, as well as a fixup method for
forcing the interrupt pin to be 0 for these devices. This is
required to ensure that pci drivers matching on these devices
will be able to honor the various PCI subsystem calls touching
the configuration space.

The CE4100 platform is currently missing a proper pm_poweroff
implementation leading to poweroff making the CPU spin forever
and the CE4100 platform does not enter a low-power mode where
the external Power Management Unit can properly power off the
system. Power off on this platform is implemented pretty much
like reboot, by writing to the SoC built-in 8051 microcontroller
mapped at I/O port 0xcf9, the value 0x4.

Use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched / synchronize_sched
instead of rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock / synchronize_rcu.
This is an optimization. The RCU-protected region is very small, so
there will be no latency problems if we disable preempt in this region.
So we use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched that translates
to preempt_disable / preempt_disable. It is smaller (and supposedly
faster) than preemptible rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock.

In commit 800179c9b8 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to
the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in
the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being
technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior.
However, it does turn out to break some applications. It's rare, and
it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so
we'll have to default to legacy behavior.
In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see
http://www.dwd.de/AFD/
along with some legacy scripts.
Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system
scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your
early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl
setting. Do:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks
echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks
to re-enable the link protections.
Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option
that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural
options automatically.

Pull DMA-mapping revert from Marek Szyprowski:
"Due to my mistake, my previous pull request (merged as commit
cff7b8ba60: "Merge branch 'fixes_for_linus' ..") contained a patch
which is aimed for v3.8 and lacks its dependences. This pull request
reverts it and fixes build break of ARM architecture."
* 'fixes_for_linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping:
Revert "ARM: dma-mapping: support debug_dma_mapping_error"
Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This fixes a couple of nasty page table initialization bugs which were
causing kdump regressions. A clean rearchitecturing of the code is in
the works - meanwhile these are reverts that restore the
best-known-working state of the kernel.
There's also EFI fixes and other small fixes."

Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Most of the kernel diffstat relates to a group of Intel P6 and KNC
(Xeon-Phi Knights Corner) PMU driver fixes, neither of which is in
heavy use, so we took the fixes.
The rest is diverse smallish fixes to the tooling and kernel side."
