Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.
It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
text data bss dec hex filename
64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)
Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

* 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (36 commits)
x86, mm: Correct the implementation of is_untracked_pat_range()
x86/pat: Trivial: don't create debugfs for memtype if pat is disabled
x86, mtrr: Fix sorting of mtrr after subtracting
x86: Move find_smp_config() earlier and avoid bootmem usage
x86, platform: Change is_untracked_pat_range() to bool; cleanup init
x86: Change is_ISA_range() into an inline function
x86, mm: is_untracked_pat_range() takes a normal semiclosed range
x86, mm: Call is_untracked_pat_range() rather than is_ISA_range()
x86: UV SGI: Don't track GRU space in PAT
x86: SGI UV: Fix BAU initialization
x86, numa: Use near(er) online node instead of roundrobin for NUMA
x86, numa, bootmem: Only free bootmem on NUMA failure path
x86: Change crash kernel to reserve via reserve_early()
x86: Eliminate redundant/contradicting cache line size config options
x86: When cleaning MTRRs, do not fold WP into UC
x86: remove "extern" from function prototypes in <asm/proto.h>
x86, mm: Report state of NX protections during boot
x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement
x86, pageattr: Make set_memory_(x|nx) aware of NX support
x86, sleep: Always save the value of EFER
...
Fix up conflicts (added both iommu_shutdown and is_untracked_pat_range)
to 'struct x86_platform_ops') in
arch/x86/include/asm/x86_init.h

In some cases we can coalesce MTRR entries after cleanup; this may
allow us to have more entries. As such, introduce clean_sort_range to
to sort and coaelsce the MTRR entries.

The current MTRR code treats WP as a form of UC. This really isn't
desirable behaviour, except possibly in the case of severe MTRR
shortage. Disable this, to allow legitimate uses of WP to remain
unmolested.

The current bound checks for copy_from_user in the MTRR driver are
not as obvious as they could be, and gcc agrees with that.
This patch simplifies the boundary checks to the point that gcc can
now prove to itself that the copy_from_user() is never going past
its bounds.

SDM Vol 3a section titled "MTRR considerations in MP systems" specifies
the need for synchronizing the logical cpu's while initializing/updating
MTRR.
Currently Linux kernel does the synchronization of all cpu's only when
a single MTRR register is programmed/updated. During an AP online
(during boot/cpu-online/resume) where we initialize all the MTRR/PAT registers,
we don't follow this synchronization algorithm.
This can lead to scenarios where during a dynamic cpu online, that logical cpu
is initializing MTRR/PAT with cache disabled (cr0.cd=1) etc while other logical
HT sibling continue to run (also with cache disabled because of cr0.cd=1
on its sibling).
Starting from Westmere, VMX transitions with cr0.cd=1 don't work properly
(because of some VMX performance optimizations) and the above scenario
(with one logical cpu doing VMX activity and another logical cpu coming online)
can result in system crash.
Fix the MTRR initialization by doing rendezvous of all the cpus. During
boot and resume, we delay the MTRR/PAT init for APs till all the
logical cpu's come online and the rendezvous process at the end of AP's bringup,
will initialize the MTRR/PAT for all AP's.
For dynamic single cpu online, we synchronize all the logical cpus and
do the MTRR/PAT init on the AP that is coming online.

Yinghai noticed that i defined BIOS_BUG_MSG but added no
usage for it. The usage is to clean up this turd in generic.c:
printk(KERN_WARNING "WARNING: BIOS bug: VAR MTRR %d "
"contains strange UC entry under 1M, check "
"with your system vendor!\n", i);
Breaking printk lines in the middle looks ugly, is hard to read
and breaks 'git grep'. Use the BIOS_BUG_MSG instead.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Impact: bug fix + BIOS workaround
BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs
after fixed MTRRs are configured.
Some BIOSes do not clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs).
This can lead to obfuscation in Linux when this bit is not cleared on
BP but cleared on APs. A consequence of this is that the saved
fixed-MTRR state (from BP) differs from the fixed-MTRRs of APs --
because RdDram/WrDram bits are read as zero when
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] is cleared -- and Linux tries to sync
fixed-MTRR state from BP to AP. This implies that Linux sets
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and activates those bits.
More important is that (some) systems change these bits in SMM when
ACPI is enabled. Hence it is racy if Linux modifies RdMem/WrMem bits,
too.
(1) The patch modifies an old fix from Bernhard Kaindl to get
suspend/resume working on some Acer Laptops. Bernhard's patch
tried to sync RdMem/WrMem bits of fixed MTRR registers and that
helped on those old Laptops. (Don't ask me why -- can't test it
myself). But this old problem was not the motivation for the
patch. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/3/110)
(2) The more important effect is to fix issues on some more current systems.
On those systems Linux panics or just freezes, see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
(and also duplicates of this bug:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11714)
The affected systems boot only using acpi=ht, acpi=off or
when the kernel is built with CONFIG_MTRR=n.
The acpi options prevent full enablement of ACPI. Obviously when
ACPI is enabled the BIOS/SMM modfies RdMem/WrMem bits. When
CONFIG_MTRR=y Linux also accesses and modifies those bits when it
needs to sync fixed-MTRRs across cores (Bernhard's fix, see (1)).
How do you synchronize that? You can't. As a consequence Linux
shouldn't touch those bits at all (Rationale are AMD's BKDGs which
recommend to clear the bit that makes RdMem/WrMem accessible).
This is the purpose of this patch. And (so far) this suffices to
fix (1) and (2).
I suggest not to touch RdDram/WrDram bits of fixed-MTRRs and
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and to clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] as
suggested by AMD K8, and AMD family 10h/11h BKDGs.
BIOS is expected to do this anyway. This should avoid that
Linux and SMM tread on each other's toes ...

Impact: improve MTRR debugging messages
There's still inefficiencies suspected with the MTRR sanitizing
code, so make sure we get all the info we need from a dmesg.
- Remove unneeded mtrr_show
(It will only printout one time by first cpu, so it is no big deal.)
- Also print out directly from get_mtrr, because it doesn't update mtrr_state.

kerneloops.org is reporting a lot of these warnings that come due to
vmware not setting up any MTRRs for emulated CPUs:
| Reported 709 times (14696 total reports)
| BIOS bug (often in VMWare) where the MTRR's are set up incorrectly
| or not at all
|
| This warning was last seen in version 2.6.29-rc2-git1, and first
| seen in 2.6.24.
|
| More info:
| http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=mtrr_trim_uncached_memory
Keep a one-liner KERN_INFO about it - so that we have so notice if empty
MTRRs are caused by native hardware/BIOS weirdness.

while looking at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because
the code is processed much too early.
This patch:
- Declares mtrr.show as early_param
- Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt
that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work
- Declares mtrr_show as initdata
