      x86: earlyprintk: Fix regression to handle serial,ttySn as 1 arg · ea3acb19
      Jason Wessel authored 
      Commit c9530948 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console")
introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel
arguments.

If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel
argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument
and not as "serial" and then "ttyS".

Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS
directly without the "serial" argument.

      x86: Don't generate cmpxchg8b_emu if CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64=y · 04edbdef
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      Conditionaly compile cmpxchg8b_emu.o and EXPORT_SYMBOL(cmpxchg8b_emu).

This reduces the kernel size a bit.

      x86: Fix csum_ipv6_magic asm memory clobber · d1716a60
      Samuel Thibault authored 
      Just like ip_fast_csum, the assembly snippet in csum_ipv6_magic needs a
memory clobber, as it is only passed the address of the buffer, not a
memory reference to the buffer itself.

This caused failures in Hurd's pfinetv4 when we tried to compile it with
gcc-4.3 (bogus checksums).

      x86: Optimize cmpxchg64() at build-time some more · 982d007a
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Try to avoid the 'alternates()' code when we can statically
determine that cmpxchg8b is fine. We already have that
CONFIG_x86_CMPXCHG64 (enabled by PAE support), and we could easily
also enable it for some of the CPU cases.

Note, this patch only adds CMPXCHG8B for the obvious Intel CPU's,
not for others. (There was something really messy about cmpxchg8b
and clone CPU's, so if you enable it on other CPUs later, do it
carefully.)

If we avoid that asm-alternative thing when we can assume the
instruction exists, we'll generate less support crud, and we'll
avoid the whole issue with that extra 'nop' for padding instruction
sizes etc.
