x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

x86: Fix write lock scalability 64-bit issue With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough). A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue. Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less nesting would suffice. However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened to 64 bits.

x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries Switch to using relative exception table entries on x86. On i386, this has the advantage that the exception table entries don't need to be relocated; on x86-64 this means the exception table entries take up only half the space. In either case, a 32-bit delta is sufficient, as the range of kernel code addresses is limited. Since part of the goal is to avoid needing to adjust the entries when the kernel is relocated, the old trick of using addresses in the NULL pointer range to indicate uaccess_err no longer works (and unlike RISC architectures we can't use a flag bit); instead use an delta just below +2G to indicate these special entries. The reach is still limited to a single instruction. Signed-off-by: H.
