      x86: Fix jump label with RO/NX module protection crash · 89696913
      Matthieu CASTET authored
      
      
      If we use jump table in module init, there are marked
      as removed in __jump_table section after init is done.
      
      But we already applied ro permissions on the module, so
      we can't modify a read only section (crash in
      remove_jump_label_module_init).
      
      Make the __jump_table section rw.

      x86, hotplug: Fix powersavings with offlined cores on AMD · 93789b32
      Borislav Petkov authored
      
      
      ea530692 made a CPU use monitor/mwait
      when offline. This is not the optimal choice for AMD wrt to powersavings
      and we'd prefer our cores to halt (i.e. enter C1) instead. For this, the
      same selection whether to use monitor/mwait has to be used as when we
      select the idle routine for the machine.
      
      With this patch, offlining cores 1-5 on a X6 machine allows core0 to
      boost again.
      
      [ hpa: putting this in urgent since it is a (power) regression fix ]
