UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.
So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.
GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

As illustrated by commit a3afe70b83fd ("[S390] latencytop s390
support."), HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT is defined by an architecture to
advertise an implementation of save_stack_trace_tsk.
However, as of 9212ddb5eada ("stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk()
weak alias") a dummy implementation is provided if STACKTRACE=y. Given
that LATENCYTOP already depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT and selects
STACKTRACE, we can remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT altogether.

The Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) is a Root Complex Integrated
Endpoint that acts as a host bridge to a secondary PCIe domain. BIOS can
reassign one or more Root Ports to appear within a VMD domain instead of
the primary domain. The immediate benefit is that additional PCIe domains
allow more than 256 buses in a system by letting bus numbers be reused
across different domains.
VMD domains do not define ACPI _SEG, so to avoid domain clashing with host
bridges defining this segment, VMD domains start at 0x10000, which is
greater than the highest possible 16-bit ACPI defined _SEG.
This driver enumerates and enables the domain using the root bus
configuration interface provided by the PCI subsystem. The driver provides
configuration space accessor functions (pci_ops), bus and memory resources,
an MSI IRQ domain with irq_chip implementation, and DMA operations
necessary to use devices through the VMD endpoint's interface.
VMD routes I/O as follows:
1) Configuration Space: BAR 0 ("CFGBAR") of VMD provides the base
address and size for configuration space register access to VMD-owned
root ports. It works similarly to MMCONFIG for extended configuration
space. Bus numbering is independent and does not conflict with the
primary domain.
2) MMIO Space: BARs 2 and 4 ("MEMBAR1" and "MEMBAR2") of VMD provide the
base address, size, and type for MMIO register access. These addresses
are not translated by VMD hardware; they are simply reservations to be
distributed to root ports' memory base/limit registers and subdivided
among devices downstream.
3) DMA: To interact appropriately with an IOMMU, the source ID DMA read
and write requests are translated to the bus-device-function of the VMD
endpoint. Otherwise, DMA operates normally without VMD-specific address
translation.
4) Interrupts: Part of VMD's BAR 4 is reserved for VMD's MSI-X Table and
PBA. MSIs from VMD domain devices and ports are remapped to appear as
if they were issued using one of VMD's MSI-X table entries. Each MSI
and MSI-X address of VMD-owned devices and ports has a special format
where the address refers to specific entries in the VMD's MSI-X table.
As with DMA, the interrupt source ID is translated to VMD's
bus-device-function.
The driver provides its own MSI and MSI-X configuration functions
specific to how MSI messages are used within the VMD domain, and
provides an irq_chip for independent IRQ allocation to relay interrupts
from VMD's interrupt handler to the appropriate device driver's handler.
5) Errors: PCIe error message are intercepted by the root ports normally
(e.g., AER), except with VMD, system errors (i.e., firmware first) are
disabled by default. AER and hotplug interrupts are translated in the
same way as endpoint interrupts.
6) VMD does not support INTx interrupts or IO ports. Devices or drivers
requiring these features should either not be placed below VMD-owned
root ports, or VMD should be disabled by BIOS for such endpoints.

x86: arch_mmap_rnd() uses hard-coded values, 8 for 32-bit and 28 for
64-bit, to generate the random offset for the mmap base address. This
value represents a compromise between increased ASLR effectiveness and
avoiding address-space fragmentation. Replace it with a Kconfig option,
which is sensibly bounded, so that platform developers may choose where
to place this compromise. Keep default values as new minimums.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.
- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.
- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.
- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

Pull oower management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, ACPICA takes the lead this time,
followed by cpufreq and the device properties framework changes.
The most significant new feature is the debugfs-based interface to the
ACPICA's AML debugger added in the previous cycle and a new user space
tool for accessing it.
On the cpufreq front, the core is updated to handle governors more
efficiently, particularly on systems where a single cpufreq policy
object is shared between multiple CPUs, and there are quite a few
changes in drivers (intel_pstate, cpufreq-dt etc).
The device properties framework is updated to handle built-in (ie
included in the kernel itself) device properties better, among other
things by adding a fallback mechanism that will allow drivers to
provide default properties to be used in case the plaform firmware
doesn't provide the properties expected by them.
The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework gets new DT bindings
and debugfs support.
A new cpufreq driver for ST platforms is added and the ACPI driver for
AMD SoCs will now support the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over.
Specifics:
- Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's AML
debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user space tool
for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger and clean up
the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter, Colin Ian King,
Markus Elfring).
- Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number of
fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Labbe
Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box, Rafael
Wysocki).
In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the _SUB
object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support all ACPI
objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved, the SuperName
handling of parameters being control methods is fixed, the
ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow ACPI 5.0A and the
handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated accordingly, module-
level code will be executed after loading each ACPI table now
(instead of being run once after all tables containing AML have
been loaded), the Operation Region handlers management is updated
to fix some reported problems and a the ACPICA code in the kernel
is more in line with the upstream now.
- Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on whether
or not it will generate key-presses for brightness change hotkeys
and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi, thinkpad_acpi) to use
that information to avoid sending double key-events to users pace
for these, add new ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu,
Adrien Schildknecht).
- Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard).
- Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects found
in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if there is a
device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner).
- Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create
struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in the
namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid device
enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu).
- Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI driver
for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho).
- Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel SoCs
where ACPI tables have no power management support for the DMA
controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically when the
last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI and clean up
the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after previous attempts
to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King,
Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki,
Sinan Kaya).
- Update the device properties framework for better handling of
built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to the
platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling of device
properties and add support for passing default configuration data
as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD drivers, convert the
designware I2C driver to use the unified device properties API and
add a fallback mechanism for using default built-in properties if
the platform firmware fails to provide the properties as expected
by drivers (Andy Shevchenko, Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus,
Andrew Morton).
- Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points
(OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly,
introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar,
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings (Pi-Cheng
Chen).
- Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors more
efficient, especially on systems where policy objects are shared
between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with
CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu).
- Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob
support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding Device
Tree bindings (Lee Jones).
- Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection
algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it is
running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm (with

This is a third approach to workaround long standing issue with LPSS on
BayTrail. First one [1] was reverted since it didn't resolve the issue
comprehensively. Second one [2] was rejected by internal review.
The LPSS DMA controller does not have neither _PS0 nor _PS3 method. Moreover it
can be powered off automatically whenever the last LPSS device goes down. In
case of no power any access to the DMA controller will hang the system. The
behaviour is reproduced on some HP laptops based on Intel BayTrail [3,4] as
well as on ASuS T100TA transformer.

This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which
enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have
a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.
The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the
performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported
via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the
corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
required data are then performed.
The measured latencies for different CPUs are:
CPU Wakeup Kicking
--- ------ -------
Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us
Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us
The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.
A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
overcommit) was:
pv_hash_hops=1.00
pv_kick_unlock=1148
pv_kick_wake=1146
pv_latency_kick=11040
pv_latency_wake=194840

Make CONFIG_MICROCODE a bool. It was practically a bool already anyway,
since early loader was forcing it to =y.
Regardless, there's no real reason to have something be a module which
gets built-in on the majority of installations out there. And its not
like there's noticeable change in functionality - we still can load late
microcode - just the module glue disappears.

Most distributions end up enabling SWIOTLB already with 32-bit
kernels due to the combination of CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST|CONFIG_XEN=y
as those end up requiring the SWIOTLB.
However for those that are not interested in virtualization and
run in 32-bit they will discover that: "32-bit PAE 4.2.0 kernel
(no IOMMU code) would hang when writing to my USB disk. The kernel
spews million(-ish messages per sec) to syslog, effectively
"hanging" userspace with my kernel.

Enabling it makes the problem go away.

- Don't mark it 'obsolete' in the text as we'll support the ABI as long as CPUs

- Qualify the part about software emulation and mention that for some apps you
want a real vm86 mode.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.
The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest changes in this cycle were:
- Revamp, simplify (and in some cases fix) Time Stamp Counter (TSC)
primitives. (Andy Lutomirski)
- Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C.
(Andy Lutomirski)
- vm86 mode cleanups and fixes. (Brian Gerst)
- 32-bit compat code cleanups. (Brian Gerst)
The amount of simplification in low level assembly code is already
palpable:
arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S | 130 +----
arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S | 197 ++-----
but more simplifications are planned.

Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
WB-mapped-PMEM. This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
the direct map and mapping it with struct page.
The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
instruction is not available. When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.
The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains. Namely,
map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.
arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()". Code
that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.

This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads. For
rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare
reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was
done on a random lab machine.
PMEM reads from a write combining mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s
PMEM reads from a write-back mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s
To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add
support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:
http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any
new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the
previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor
cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know
that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any
writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read,
and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous
aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied
contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed.
In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a
generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is
protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently
only supported on x86.

We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:
1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting
2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
(unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
default)
3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
"iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"

printk() is not safe to use in MCE context. Add a lockless
memory allocator pool to save error records in MCE context.
Those records will be issued later, in a printk-safe context.
The idea is inspired by the APEI/GHES driver.
We're very conservative and allocate only two pages for it but
since we're going to use those pages throughout the system's
lifetime, we allocate them statically to avoid early boot time
allocation woes.

VM86 is entirely broken if ptrace, syscall auditing, or
NOHZ_FULL is in use. The code is a big undocumented mess, it's
a real PITA to test, and it looks like a big chunk of vm86_32.c
is dead code. It also plays awful games with the entry asm.
No one should be using it anyway. Use DOSBOX or KVM instead.
Let's accelerate its slow death. Remove it from EXPERT and
default it to n. Distros should not enable it. In the unlikely
event that some user needs it, they can easily re-enable it.
While we're at it, rename it to CONFIG_X86_LEGACY_VM86 so that 'make
oldconfig' users will be prompted again. I left CONFIG_VM86 as
an alias to avoid a treewide replacement of the names. We can
clean that up once the current asm and vm86 code churn settles
down.

Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1].
Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu
cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller)
before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis,
memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to
pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address
range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage
of pointers to pmem.
This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but
reworks to ioremap, and wider implementation of memremap() will enable
other archs in 4.3.

nd_pmem attaches to persistent memory regions and namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm subsystem, and, same as the original pmem driver, presents
the system-physical-address range as a block device.
The existing e820-type-12 to pmem setup is converted to an nvdimm_bus
that emits an nd_namespace_io device.
Note that the X in 'pmemX' is now derived from the parent region. This
provides some stability to the pmem devices names from boot-to-boot.
The minor numbers are also more predictable by passing 0 to
alloc_disk().

In talking to Aravind recently about making certain AMD topology
attributes available to the MCE injection module, it seemed like
that CONFIG_X86_HT thing is more or less superfluous. It is
def_bool y, depends on SMP and gets enabled in the majority of
.configs - distro and otherwise - out there.
So let's kill it and make code behind it depend directly on SMP.

Peter Zijstra noticed that in arch/x86/Kconfig there are a lot
of X86_{32,64} clauses in the X86 symbol, plus there are a number
of similar selects in the X86_32 and X86_64 config definitions
as well - which all overlap in an inconsistent mess.
So:
- move all select's from X86_32 and X86_64 to the X64 config
option
- sort their names, so that duplications are easier to spot
- align their if clauses, so that they are easier to identify
at a glance - and so that weirdnesses stand out more
