x86: filter CPU features dependent on unavailable CPUID levels
Impact: Fixes potential crashes on misconfigured systems.
Some CPU features require specific CPUID levels to be available in
order to function, as they contain information about the operation of
a specific feature. However, some BIOSes and virtualization software
provide the ability to mask CPUID levels in order to support legacy
operating systems. We try to enable such CPUID levels when we know
how to do it, but for the remaining cases, filter out such CPU
features when there is no way for us to support them.
Do this in one place, in the CPUID code, with a table-driven approach.

He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().

at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
and might even be faster.

alpha: fix RTC on marvel
Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware
- RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls. Unfortunately, for unknown
reason these calls work only on CPU #0. So current implementation for
arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI.
However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard
get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with
disabled interrupts.
Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions,
not for individual CMOS accesses. Which is also a lot more effective
performance-wise.
The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook.
My changes:
- tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to
avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h;
- sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs).
NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers. Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver
wont't work on marvel. Actually I think that we should just disable
CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK,
all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

modified the board string between BIOS revisions.
We have found that the vendor chipset identification string (provided in
brackets) changes frequently and is of no use to us. The rest of the board
string sometimes changes in subtle ways, e.g. whitespace or variations in
capitalization.
The new comparison code checks only a part of the supplied DMI board string,
trimming the bracketed content, whitespace, and ignoring case as necessary.
This fixes a bug where an IP35 Pro running an early BIOS would not be
detected without the force=1 module parameter, and also speculatively
fixes other similiar issues.

hwmon: (k8temp) Warn about fam F rev F errata
Add warning about wrong CPU temperature readouts on all fam F rev F.
The allowed combinations of processors ensure that all processors
in a multisocket system have similar characteristics, e.g.
(1) provide temperature sensor interface (>=RevC && <RevF)
(2) are affected by erratum #141 (>=RevF)
Thus it is sufficient to check the revision of the boot CPU.

When a break signal is detected, the next character should be ignored.
This was not implemented correctly for the pnx8xxx_uart driver.
[From further discussion:
Correct, you can look to it as two separate bugs:
a) the next character is not ignored while it should;
b) the status bits 31-8 are copied to the 'ch' variable while they shouldn't.
Both bugs prevent correct break signal handling (and therefore correct
behaviour of the magic SysRq key). Bug b didn't cause too much trouble
earlier because in most situations the status bits are all zero; for
this case they unfortunately aren't.
