and add kernel_install
Removing the dependency on vmlinux for the install target raised a few
complaints, so instead a new target i added: kernel_install.
kernel_install will install the kernel just like the ordinary install target.
The only difference is that install has a dependency on vmlinux,
kernel_install does not. Therefore kernel_install is the best choice
when accessing the kernel over a NFS mount or as another user.
kernel_install is similar to modules_install in the fact that neither does
a full kernel compile before performing the install.
In this way they are good for root use. Also added back the
dependency on vmlinux for the install target so peoples scripts are no
longer broken.

This makes a trap on the 'iret' that returns us to user space
cause a nice clean SIGSEGV, instead of just a hard (and silent)
exit.
That way a debugger can actually try to see what happened, and
we also properly notify everybody who might be interested about
us being gone.
This loses the error code, but tells the debugger what happened
with ILL_BADSTK in the siginfo.

The patch to arch/i386/kernel/cpu/amd.c relies on the variable
cpu_core_id which is defined in i386/kernel/smpboot.c. This means it is
only present if CONFIG_X86_SMP is defined, not CONFIG_SMP (alternative
SMP harnesses won't have it, which is why it breaks voyager).

Once we're strict about clearing away page tables, hugetlb_prefault can assume
there are no page tables left within its range. Since the other arches
continue if !pte_none here, let i386 do the same.

Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level
clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its
long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level
page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on
ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables.
Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by
free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same
way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This
brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled,
in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput).
Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region
instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and
can only be freed while it is touched by some vma.
Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted
from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was
actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before
hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we
might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going
by vma should itself reduce latency.
But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful
examination: put that off until a later patch of the series.
What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma?
And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that
we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be
flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied?
A shame to complicate it unnecessarily.

Randy please double check especially this one.
there may be a better solution.
Fix efi section references:
remove __initdata for struct efi efi_phys
and struct efi_memory_map memmap
Error: ./arch/i386/kernel/efi.o .text refers to 000000d3 R_386_32
.init.data
Error: ./arch/i386/kernel/efi.o .text refers to 000000ff R_386_32
.init.data
efi_memmap_walk (which is not __init nor static)
accesses both efi_phys and memmap.

- broken sibling_map setup in x86_64
- grouping all the core and HT related cpuinfo fields.
We are reasonably sure that adding new cpuinfo fields after "siblings" field,
will not cause any app failure. Thats because today's /proc/cpuinfo
format is completely different on x86, x86_64 and we haven't heard of any
x86 app breakage because of this issue. Grouping these fields will
result in more or less common format on all architectures (ia64, x86 and
x86_64) and will cause less confusion.

Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying
the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo.
It adds two new fields "core id" and "cpu cores" to x86 /proc/cpuinfo and the
"core id" field for x86_64("cpu cores" field is already present in x86_64).
Number of processor cores in a die is detected using cpuid(4) and this is
documented in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual (vol 2a)
(http://developer.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/index_new.htm#sdm_vol2a)
This patch also adds cpu_core_map similar to cpu_sibling_map.
Slightly hacked by AK.

x86_64 genapic mechanism should be aware of machines that use physical APIC
mode regardless of how many clusters/processors are detected.
ACPI 3.0 FADT makes this determination very simple by providing a feature
flag "force_apic_physical_destination_mode" to state whether the machine
unconditionally uses physical APIC mode.
Unisys' next generation x86_64 ES7000 will need to utilize this FADT
feature flag in order to boot the x86_64 kernel in the correct APIC mode.
This patch has been tested on both x86_64 commodity and ES7000 boxes.

Only display physical id/siblings when there are siblings or dual core.
In 2.6.11 I accidentially broke it and it was always displaying these
fields But for compatibility to all these /proc parsers around it is better
to do it in the old way again.

This moves the macro loaddebug from asm-i386/suspend.h to
asm-i386/processor.h, which is the place that makes sense for it to be
defined, removes the extra copy of the same macro in
arch/i386/kernel/process.c, and makes arch/i386/kernel/signal.c use the
macro in place of its expansion.
This is a purely cosmetic cleanup for the normal i386 kernel. However, it
is handy for Xen to be able to just redefine the loaddebug macro once
instead of also changing the signal.c code.

Fix the access-above-bottom-of-stack crash.
1. Allows to preserve the valueable optimization
2. Works for NMIs
3. Doesn't care whether or not there are more of the like instances
where the stack is left empty.
4. Seems to work for me without the crashes:)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
