Glauber de Oliveira Costa 0a3b4d151a x86: move switch_to macro to system.h
This patch moves the switch_to() macro to system.h

As those macros are fundamentally different between i386 and x86_64,
they are enclosed around an ifdef.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 833d8469b1 x86: unify smp parts of system.h
The memory barrier parts of system.h are not very different between
i386 and x86_64, the main difference being the availability of
instructions, which we handle with the use of ifdefs.

They are consolidated in system.h file, and then removed from
the arch-specific headers.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 62fe164c5b x86: remove unused macro
Mr. Grep says warn_if_not_ulong() is not used anymore anywhere
in the code. So, we remove it.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa d3ca901f94 x86: unify paravirt parts of system.h
This patch moves the i386 control registers manipulation functions,
wbinvd, and clts functions to system.h. They are essentially the same
as in x86_64.

With this, system.h paravirt comes for free in x86_64.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa a6b4655258 x86: unify load_segment macro
This patch unifies the load_segment() macro, making them equal in both
x86_64 and i386 architectures. The common version goes to system.h,
and the old are deleted.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 92b2dc79c3 x86: remove STR() macros
This patch removes the __STR() and STR() macros from x86_64 header files.
They seem to be legacy, and has no more users. Even if there were users,
they should use __stringify() instead.

In fact, there were one third place in which this macro was defined
(ia32_binfmt.c), and used just below. In this file, usage was properly
converted to __stringify()

H. Peter Anvin 6619a8fb59 x86: Create clflush() inline, remove hardcoded wbinvd
Create an inline function for clflush(), with the proper arguments,
and use it instead of hard-coding the instruction.

This also removes one instance of hard-coded wbinvd, based on a patch
by Bauder de Oliveira Costa.

Kirill Korotaev c1217a75ea x86: mark read_crX() asm code as volatile
Some gcc versions (I checked at least 4.1.1 from RHEL5 & 4.1.2 from gentoo)
can generate incorrect code with read_crX()/write_crX() functions mix up,
due to cached results of read_crX().

The small app for x8664 below compiled with -O2 demonstrates this
(i686 does the same thing):

Nick Piggin b6c7347fff x86: optimise barriers
According to latest memory ordering specification documents from Intel
and AMD, both manufacturers are committed to in-order loads from
cacheable memory for the x86 architecture.  Hence, smp_rmb() may be a
simple barrier.

Also according to those documents, and according to existing practice in
Linux (eg.  spin_unlock doesn't enforce ordering), stores to cacheable
memory are visible in program order too.  Special string stores are safe
-- their constituent stores may be out of order, but they must complete
in order WRT surrounding stores.  Nontemporal stores to WB memory can go
out of order, and so they should be fenced explicitly to make them
appear in-order WRT other stores.  Hence, smp_wmb() may be a simple
barrier.

    http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/318147.pdf
    http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/24593.pdf

In userspace microbenchmarks on a core2 system, fence instructions range
anywhere from around 15 cycles to 50, which may not be totally
insignificant in performance critical paths (code size will go down
too).

However the primary motivation for this is to have the canonical barrier
implementation for x86 architecture.

smp_rmb on buggy pentium pros remains a locked op, which is apparently
required.

Nick Piggin 4071c71855 x86: fix IO write barrier
wmb() on x86 must always include a barrier, because stores can go out of
