Use reserve_early() instead of reserve_bootmem() in it.
This simplifies the code, we only need to call find_smp_config()

The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
available. Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
the available of NX.
This patch:
a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
into a single x86_configure_nx() function. EFER control is left
to the head code.
b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely. Things that need to
test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.

On platforms where the BIOS handles the thermal monitor interrupt,
APIC_LVTTHMR on each logical CPU is programmed to generate a SMI
and OS must not touch it.
Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clears all
the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in
all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set
to masked (clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR).
And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring
interrupt on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed
value only on BSP).
As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal
monitoring interrupt is generated.
Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on
BSP and if bios has taken over the control, then program the
same value on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring
interrupt control on all the logical cpu's to the bios.

This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for
SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates
node setup into detection and registration steps, with the
exception of registering e820 active regions in
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init(). This is now moved to
acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred.
acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an
underlying SRAT was located. If so, that topology can be used by
the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes
or to register the nodes for ACPI.
acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical
topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

To eventually interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes, we
need to know the physical topology of the machine without actually
registering it. This does the k8 node setup in two parts:
detection and registration. NUMA emulation can then used the
physical topology detected to setup the address ranges of emulated
nodes accordingly. If emulation isn't used, the k8 nodes are
registered as normal.
Two formals are added to the x86 NUMA setup functions: `acpi' and
`k8'. These represent whether ACPI or K8 NUMA has been detected;
both cannot be true at the same time. This specifies to the NUMA
emulation code whether an underlying physical NUMA topology exists
and which interface to use.
This patch deals solely with separating the k8 setup path into
Northbridge detection and registration steps and leaves the ACPI
changes for a subsequent patch. The `acpi' formal is added here,
however, to avoid touching all the header files again in the next
patch.
This approach also ensures emulated nodes will not span physical
nodes so the true memory latency is not misrepresented.
k8_get_nodes() may now be used to export the k8 physical topology
of the machine for NUMA emulation.

Since parse_early_param() may (e.g. for earlyprintk=dbgp)
involve calls to page table manipulation functions (here
set_fixmap_nocache()), NX hardware support must be determined
before calling that function (so that __supported_pte_mask gets
properly set up).
But the call after parse_early_param() can also not go away, as
that will honor eventual command line specified disabling of
the NX functionality.
( This will then just result in whatever mappings got
established during parse_early_param() having the NX bit set
despite it being disabled on the command line, but I think
that's tolerable).

The problem is, "reservetop" parameter can modify

is base on old 'FIXADDR_TOP', but the page mapping is base on
new 'FIXADDR_TOP', it will occur page fault, and the IDT is not

This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel TXT).
Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that
provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.
Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT).
Intel TXT in Brief:
o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM)
o Data protection in case of improper shutdown
o Measurement and verification of launched environment
Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some
non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems based on
the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP
dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45
Express chipsets.
For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/.
This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which
has been updated for the new released platforms.
A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to
configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file
in this patch.
This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality,
documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure,
and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system
will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes
properly.

The init_gbpages() function is conditionally called from
init_memory_mapping() function. There are two call-sites where
this 'after_bootmem' condition can be true: setup_arch() and
mem_init() via pci_iommu_alloc().
Therefore, it's safe to move the call to init_gbpages() to
setup_arch() as it's always called before mem_init().
This removes an after_bootmem use - paving the way to remove
all uses of that state variable.

A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.
Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.
Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

Impact: new interface; remove hard-coded limit
Add RESERVE_BRK(name, size) macro to reserve space in the brk
area. This should be a conservative (ie, larger) estimate of
how much space might possibly be required from the brk area.
Any unused space will be freed, so there's no real downside
on making the reservation too large (within limits).
The name should be unique within a given file, and somewhat
descriptive.
The C definition of RESERVE_BRK() ends up being more complex than
one would expect to work around a cluster of gcc infelicities:
The first attempt was to simply try putting __section(.brk_reservation)
on a variable. This doesn't work because it ends up making it a
@progbits section, which gets actual space allocated in the vmlinux
executable.
The second attempt was to emit the space into a section using asm,
but gcc doesn't allow arguments to be passed to file-level asm()
statements, making it hard to pass in the size.
The final attempt is to wrap the asm() in a function to allow
it to have arguments, and put the function itself into the
.discard section, which vmlinux*.lds drops entirely from the
emitted vmlinux.

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.

Impact: cleanup, micro-optimization
Pre-initialize boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to a reasonable default
to remove the use of system_state tests in __virt_addr_valid()
and __phys_addr().

Impact: reactivate DMI quirks on EFI hardware
DMI tables are loaded by EFI, so the dmi calls must happen after
efi_init() and not before.
Currently Apple hardware uses DMI to determine the framebuffer mappings
for efifb. Without DMI working you also have no video on MacBook Pro.
This patch resolves the DMI issue for EFI hardware (DMI is now properly
detected at boot), and additionally efifb now loads on Apple hardware
(i.e. video works).
