As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the
hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead
we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb)
we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But
before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the
vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor
perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them
up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor
do it correctly.
This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating
idle guest's from one host to another.

Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has four bug-fixes and one tiny feature that I forgot to put
initially in my tree due to oversight.
The feature is for kdump kernels to speed up the /proc/vmcore reading.
There is a ram_is_pfn helper function that the different platforms can
register for. We are now doing that.
The bug-fixes cover some embarrassing struct pv_cpu_ops variables
being set to NULL on Xen (but not baremetal). We had a similar issue
in the past with {write|read}_msr_safe and this fills the three
missing ones. The other bug-fix is to make the console output (hvc)
be capable of dealing with misbehaving backends and not fall flat on
its face. Lastly, a quirk for older XenBus implementations that came
with an ancient v3.4 hypervisor (so RHEL5 based) - reading of certain
non-existent attributes just hangs the guest during bootup - so we
take precaution of not doing that on such older installations.
Feature:
- Register a pfn_is_ram helper to speed up reading of /proc/vmcore.
Bug-fixes:
- Three pvops call for Xen were undefined causing BUG_ONs.
- Add a quirk so that the shutdown watches (used by kdump) are not

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

kernel. See commit message of 997c136f51 ("fs/proc/vmcore.c: add hook
to read_from_oldmem() to check for non-ram pages") for details.
It makes use of a new hvmop HVMOP_get_mem_type which was introduced in
xen 4.2 (23298:26413986e6e0) and backported to 4.1.1.
The new function is currently only enabled for reading /proc/vmcore.
Later it will be used also for the kexec kernel. Since that requires
more changes in the generic kernel make it static for the time being.

While TLB_FLUSH_ALL gets passed as 'end' argument to
flush_tlb_others(), the Xen code was made to check its 'start'

If the P2M revectoring would fail, we would try to continue on by
cleaning the PMD for L1 (PTE) page-tables. The xen_cleanhighmap
is greedy and erases the PMD on both boundaries. Since the P2M
array can share the PMD, we would wipe out part of the __ka
that is still used in the P2M tree to point to P2M leafs.
This fixes it by bypassing the revectoring and continuing on.
If the revector fails, a nice WARN is printed so we can still
troubleshoot this.

We call memblock_reserve for [start of mfn list] -> [PMD aligned end

This has the disastrous effect that if at bootup the end of mfn_list is
not PMD aligned we end up returning to memblock parts of the region
past the mfn_list array. And those parts are the PTE tables with

Please first read the description in "xen/mmu: Copy and revector the
P2M tree."
At this stage, the __ka address space (which is what the old
P2M tree was using) is partially disassembled. The cleanup_highmap
has removed the PMD entries from 0-16MB and anything past _brk_end
up to the max_pfn_mapped (which is the end of the ramdisk).
The xen_remove_p2m_tree and code around has ripped out the __ka for
the old P2M array.
Here we continue on doing it to where the Xen page-tables were.
It is safe to do it, as the page-tables are addressed using __va.
For good measure we delete anything that is within MODULES_VADDR
and up to the end of the PMD.
At this point the __ka only contains PMD entries for the start
of the kernel up to __brk.

The 'xen_revector_p2m_tree()' function allocates a new P2M tree
copies the contents of the old one in it, and returns the new one.

We have revectored the P2M tree (and the one for save/restore as well)
to use new shiny __va address to new MFNs. The xen_start_info
has been taken care of already in 'xen_setup_kernel_pagetable()' and
xen_start_info->shared_info in 'xen_setup_shared_info()', so
we are free to roam and delete PMD entries - which is exactly what
we are going to do. We rip out the __ka for the old P2M array.

an interrupt context such as handling a page fault) it would fall back
to using native_set_pte() and trapping and emulating the PTE write.
On 32-bit guests this requires two traps for each PTE write (one for
each dword of the PTE). Instead, do one mmu_update hypercall
directly.
During construction of the initial page tables, continue to use
native_set_pte() because most of the PTEs being set are in writable
and unpinned pages (see phys_pmd_init() in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c) and
using a hypercall for this is very expensive.
This significantly improves page fault performance in 32-bit PV
guests.

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.
Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP

In xen_memory_setup(), if a page that is being released has a VA
mapping this must also be updated. Otherwise, the page will be not
released completely -- it will still be referenced in Xen and won't be
freed util the mapping is removed and this prevents it from being
reallocated at a different PFN.
This was already being done for the ISA memory region in
xen_ident_map_ISA() but on many systems this was omitting a few pages
as many systems marked a few pages below the ISA memory region as
reserved in the e820 map.

which is due to the fact we are trying to access a PFN that is not
accessible to us. The reason (at least in this case) was that
PGD[256] is set to __HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START which was setup (by the
hypervisor) to point to a read-only linear map of the MFN->PFN array.
During our parsing we would get the MFN (a valid one), try to look
it up in the MFN->PFN tree and find it invalid and return ~0 as PFN.
Then pte_mfn_to_pfn would happilly feed that in, attach the flags
and return it back to the caller. 'ptdump_show' bitshifts it and
gets and invalid value that it tries to dereference.
Instead of doing all of that, we detect the ~0 case and just
return !_PAGE_PRESENT.

The reason we are dying is b/c the call acpi_get_override_irq() is used,
which returns the polarity and trigger for the IRQs. That function calls
mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the
mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger
overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled
with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the
mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt.
The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops
struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this
work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant
of the fake IOAPIC entries.

Using of PAT to change pages from WB to WC works quite nicely.
Changing it back to WB - not so much. The crux of the matter is
that the code that does this (__page_change_att_set_clr) has only
limited information so when it tries to the change it gets
the "raw" unfiltered information instead of the properly filtered one -
and the "raw" one tell it that PSE bit is on (while infact it
is not). As a result when the PTE is set to be WB from WC, we get
tons of:

The negative impact of this patch is that users of WC flag
(which are InfiniBand, radeon, nouveau drivers) won't be able
to set that flag - so they are going to see performance degradation.
But stability is more important here.
Fixes RH BZ# 742032, 787403, and 745574

percpu_xxx funcs are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx funcs, so replace them
for further code clean up.
I don't know much of xen code. But, since the code is in x86 architecture,
the percpu_xxx is exactly same as this_cpu_xxx serials functions. So, the
change is safe.

dc91c728fd "xen: allow extra memory to be in multiple regions"
24aa07882b "memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free..."
conflicted on xen_add_extra_mem() updates. The resolution is
trivial as the latter just want to replace
memblock_x86_reserve_range() with memblock_reserve().
* drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c
166e9278a3 "x86/ia64: intel-iommu: move to drivers/iommu/"
5dfe8660a3 "bootmem: Replace work_with_active_regions() with..."
conflicted as the former moved the file under drivers/iommu/.
Resolved by applying the chnages from the latter on the moved
file.
* mm/Kconfig
6661672053 "memblock: add NO_BOOTMEM config symbol"
c378ddd53f "memblock, x86: Make ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK a config option"
conflicted trivially. Both added config options. Just
letting both add their own options resolves the conflict.
* mm/memblock.c
d1f0ece6cd "mm/memblock.c: small function definition fixes"
ed7b56a799 "memblock: Remove memblock_memory_can_coalesce()"
confliected. The former updates function removed by the
latter. Resolution is trivial.

We dropped a lot of the MMU debugfs in favour of using
tracing API - but there is one which just provides
mostly static information that was made invisible by this change.
Bring it back.

The numbers obtained from the hypervisor really can't ever lead to an
overflow here, only the original calculation going through the order
of the range could have. This avoids the (as Jeremy points outs)
somewhat ugly NULL-based calculation here.

xen/tracing: Fix tracing config option properly
xen: Do not enable PV IPIs when vector callback not present
xen/x86: replace order-based range checking of M2P table by linear one
xen: xen-selfballoon.c needs more header files
The order-based approach is not only less efficient (requiring a shift
and a compare, typical generated code looking like this
mov eax, [machine_to_phys_order]
mov ecx, eax
shr ebx, cl
test ebx, ebx
jnz ...
whereas a direct check requires just a compare, like in
cmp ebx, [machine_to_phys_nr]
jae ...
), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element
address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).
Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should
have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger
if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit
boundary.
