x86: Fix boot failures on older AMD CPU's
People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit bcb80e53877c ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to
/proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into
"early_init_amd()".
At that point we are *so* early in the booth that the exception tables
haven't even been set up yet, so the whole
doesn't actually work: if the rdmsr does a GP fault (due to non-existant
MSR register on older CPU's), we can't fix it up yet, and the boot fails.
Fix it by simply moving the code to a slightly later point in the boot
(init_amd() instead of early_init_amd()), since the kernel itself
doesn't even really care about the microcode patchlevel at this point
(or really ever: it's made available to user space in /proc/cpuinfo, and
updated if you do a microcode load).

tcp: take care of misalignments
We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a
malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen
only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp
builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp
trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay
aligned.
Some arches cant handle misalignments, so force a head reallocation and
shrink headroom to MAX_TCP_HEADER.
Dont care about misaligments on x86 and PPC (or other arches setting
NET_IP_ALIGN to 0)
This patch introduces __pskb_copy() which can specify the headroom of
new head, and pskb_copy() becomes a wrapper on top of __pskb_copy()

xen/pm_idle: Make pm_idle be default_idle under Xen.
The idea behind commit d91ee5863b71 ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86
pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle()
which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows
cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent).
But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still
be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle. This
depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU.
In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor
(Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get:
In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we
do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then
follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up going to
hypervisor twice instead of just once.
The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to
default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup.
We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen. This patch
does that.

net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.
See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
