<title>Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id - x86_64</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dd988528f4a7d64908b427c251d727f3c3e88add</id>
<content type='text'>
hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded
hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case.  When booting non SMP kernels
on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem.
This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in
the case of real hardware.

Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels
to fix this issue.

Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that
works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not
present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.

<title>Remove hardcoding of hard_smp_processor_id on UP systems</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2f4dfe206a2fc07099dfad77a8ea2f4b4ae2140f</id>
<content type='text'>
With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP
kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually
referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore.  The reason
being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that
invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU.

Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to
architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each
architecture can provide its own implementation.

<id>urn:sha1:9964cf7d776600724ef5f1b33303ceadc588b8ba</id>
<content type='text'>
Synchronize i386's smp_send_stop() with x86-64's in only try-locking
the call lock to prevent deadlocks when called from panic().
In both version, disable interrupts before clearing the CPU off the
online map to eliminate races with IRQ handlers inspecting this map.
Also in both versions, save/restore interrupts rather than disabling/
enabling them.
On x86-64, eliminate one function used here by folding it into its
single caller, convert to static, and rename for consistency with i386
(lkcd may like this).

Move inclusion of asm/fixmap.h to where it is really used rather than
where it may have been used long ago (requires a few other adjustments
to includes due to previous implicit dependencies).

WARNING: arch/x86_64/kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:get_mtrr_state from .text between 'mtrr_bp_init' (at offset 0xb887) and 'ipi_handler'

The warnings does not show up during a normal build due to kbuild
failing to check for section mismatch in vmlinux.
To see these warnings run:
scripts/mod/modpost arch/x86_64/kernel/built-in.o

kbuild will be fixed but the 'noise-level' had to be decresed first.
There remains a few section mismatch warnigns for x86_64 for areas where I did
not feel confident.
