Pull smp hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the final round of converting the notifier mess to the state
  machine. The removal of the notifiers and the related infrastructure
  will happen around rc1, as there are conversions outstanding in other
  trees.

  The whole exercise removed about 2000 lines of code in total and in
  course of the conversion several dozen bugs got fixed. The new
  mechanism allows to test almost every hotplug step standalone, so
  usage sites can exercise all transitions extensively.

  There is more room for improvement, like integrating all the
  pointlessly different architecture mechanisms of synchronizing,
  setting cpus online etc into the core code"

No point to have this file around before the cpu is online and no point to
have it around until the cpu is dead. Get rid of the explicit state.

<content type='text'>
cpuid_regs is defined multiple times as structure and enum. Rename the enum
and move all of it to processor.h so we don't end up with more instances.

Rename the misnomed register enumeration from CR_* to the obvious CPUID_*.

<title>x86: Drop bogus __ref / __refdata annotations</title>
<updated>2015-07-20T16:57:20Z</updated>

<content type='text'>
The __ref / __refdata annotations used to be needed because of
referencing functions / variables annotated __cpuinit /
__cpuinitdata.

But those annotations vanished during the development of v3.11.

Therefore most of the __ref / __refdata annotations are not needed
anymore. As they may hide legitimate sections mismatches, we
better get rid of them.

<title>x86, cpuid: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=4b660b384da7b47996436cc3151ca5995c121c76'/>
<id>urn:sha1:4b660b384da7b47996436cc3151ca5995c121c76</id>
<content type='text'>
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&amp;foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&amp;foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the cpuid code in x86 by using this latter form of callback registration.

<title>x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files</title>
<updated>2013-07-14T23:36:56Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=148f9bb87745ed45f7a11b2cbd3bc0f017d5d257'/>
<id>urn:sha1:148f9bb87745ed45f7a11b2cbd3bc0f017d5d257</id>
<content type='text'>
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.
