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.

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer changes contain:
- posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases
- sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
duplication by other architectures
- alarm timer updates
- clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
- clocksource/events support for new hardware
- precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
- generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
- the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of
trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
tree merge dependencies.
The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and
next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
collected them last minute."

Adjustments to Xen's persistent clock via update_persistent_clock()
don't actually persist, as the Xen wallclock is a software only clock
and modifications to it do not modify the underlying CMOS RTC.
The x86_platform.set_wallclock hook is there to keep the hardware RTC
synchronized. On a guest this is pointless.
On Dom0 we can use the native implementaion which actually updates the
hardware RTC, but we still need to keep the software emulation of RTC
for the guests up to date. The subscription to the pvclock_notifier
allows us to emulate this easily. The notifier is called at every tick
and when the clock was set.
Right now we only use that notifier when the clock was set, but due to
the fact that it is called periodically from the timekeeping update
code, we can utilize it to emulate the NTP driven drift compensation
of update_persistant_clock() for the Xen wall (software) clock.
Add a 11 minutes periodic update to the pvclock_gtod notifier callback
to achieve that. The static variable 'next' which maintains that 11
minutes update cycle is protected by the core code serialization so
there is no need to add a Xen specific serialization mechanism.

Currently the Xen wallclock is only updated every 11 minutes if NTP is
synchronized to its clock source (using the sync_cmos_clock() work).
If a guest is started before NTP is synchronized it may see an
incorrect wallclock time.
Use the pvclock_gtod notifier chain to receive a notification when the
system time has changed and update the wallclock to match.
This chain is called on every timer tick and we want to avoid an extra
(expensive) hypercall on every tick. Because dom0 has historically
never provided a very accurate wallclock and guests do not expect one,
we can do this simply: the wallclock is only updated if the clock was
set.

... because the "clock_event_device framework" already accounts for idle
time through the "event_handler" function pointer in
xen_timer_interrupt().
The patch is intended as the completion of [1]. It should fix the double
idle times seen in PV guests' /proc/stat [2]. It should be orthogonal to
stolen time accounting (the removed code seems to be isolated).
The approach may be completely misguided.

Instead of doing it like the "xen/smp: Don't leak interrupt name when offlining"
patch did (which has a per-cpu structure which contains both the
IRQ number and char*) we use a per-cpu pointers to a *char.
The reason is that the "__this_cpu_read(lock_kicker_irq);" macro
blows up with "__bad_size_call_parameter()" as the size of the
returned structure is not within the parameters of what it expects
and optimizes for.

that each of the per-cpu interrupts need:
- an interrupt number,

This allows us to carry the tuple of the per-cpu interrupt data structure
and expand it as we need in the future.

The xen_play_dead is an undead function. When the vCPU is told to
offline it ends up calling xen_play_dead wherin it calls the
VCPUOP_down hypercall which offlines the vCPU. However, when the
vCPU is onlined back, it resumes execution right after
VCPUOP_down hypercall.
That was OK (albeit the API for play_dead assumes that the CPU
stays dead and never returns) but with commit 4b0c0f294
(tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down) that is no longer safe
as said commit resets the ts->inidle which at the start of the
cpu_idle loop was set.
The net effect is that we get this warn:

Commit f447d56d36 introduced the
implementation of the PV apic ipi interface. But there were some
odd things (it seems none of which cause really any issue but
maybe they should be cleaned up anyway):
- xen_send_IPI_mask_allbutself (and by that xen_send_IPI_allbutself)
ignore the passed in vector and only use the CALL_FUNCTION_SINGLE
vector. While xen_send_IPI_all and xen_send_IPI_mask use the vector.
- physflat_send_IPI_allbutself is declared unnecessarily. It is never
used.

All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent
wallclocks that have more than one second of precision.
read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow
for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with
x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision.
This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1
second.
Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec
parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen
guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0
can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.

As it will point to some data, but not event channel data (the
shared_info has an array limited to 32).
This means that for PVHVM guests with more than 32 VCPUs without
the usage of VCPUOP_register_info any interrupts to VCPUs
larger than 32 would have gone unnoticed during early bootup.
That is OK, as during early bootup, in smp_init we end up calling
the hotplug mechanism (xen_hvm_cpu_notify) which makes the
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info call for all VCPUs and we can receive
interrupts on VCPUs 33 and further.
This is just a cleanup.

They are important structures and it is not clear at first
look what they are for.
The xen_vcpu is a pointer. By default it points to the shared_info
structure (at the CPU offset location). However if the
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info hypercall is implemented we can make the
xen_vcpu pointer point to a per-CPU location.

If a user did:

and hang. The RCU mechanism would kick in an try to IPI the CPU1
but the IPIs (and all other interrupts) would never arrive at the
CPU1. At first glance at least. A bit digging in the hypervisor
trace shows that (using xenanalyze):

there is a pending event (subsequent debugging shows it is the IPI
from the VCPU0 when smpboot.c on VCPU1 has done
"set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true)") and the guest VCPU1 is
interrupted with the callback IPI (0xf3 aka 243) which ends up calling
__xen_evtchn_do_upcall.
The __xen_evtchn_do_upcall seems to do *something* but not acknowledge
the pending events. And the moment the guest does a 'cli' (that is the
ffffffff81673254 in the log above) the hypervisor is invoked again to
inject the IPI (0xf3) to tell the guest it has pending interrupts.
This repeats itself forever.
The culprit was the per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) pointer. At the bootup
we set each per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) to point to the
shared_info->vcpu_info[vcpu] but later on use the VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info
to register per-CPU structures (xen_vcpu_setup).
This is used to allow events for more than 32 VCPUs and for performance
optimizations reasons.
When the user performs the VCPU hotplug we end up calling the
the xen_vcpu_setup once more. We make the hypercall which returns
-EINVAL as it does not allow multiple registration calls (and
already has re-assigned where the events are being set). We pick
the fallback case and set per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) to point to the
shared_info->vcpu_info[vcpu] (which is a good fallback during bootup).
However the hypervisor is still setting events in the register
per-cpu structure (per_cpu(xen_vcpu_info, cpu)).
As such when the events are set by the hypervisor (such as timer one),
and when we iterate in __xen_evtchn_do_upcall we end up reading stale
events from the shared_info->vcpu_info[vcpu] instead of the
per_cpu(xen_vcpu_info, cpu) structures. Hence we never acknowledge the
events that the hypervisor has set and the hypervisor keeps on reminding
us to ack the events which we never do.
The fix is simple. Don't on the second time when xen_vcpu_setup is
called over-write the per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) if it points to
per_cpu(xen_vcpu_info).

The solution to that is use kasprintf in the CPU hotplug path
that 'online's the CPU. That is, do it in in xen_hvm_cpu_notify,
and remove the call to in xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents.
Unfortunatly the later is not a good idea as the bootup path
does not use xen_hvm_cpu_notify so we would end up never allocating
timer%d interrupt lines when booting. As such add the check for
atomic() to continue.

While we don't use the spinlock interrupt line (see for details
commit f10cd522c5 -
xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM) - we should still do the proper
init / deinit sequence. We did not do that correctly and for the
CPU init for PVHVM guest we would allocate an interrupt line - but
failed to deallocate the old interrupt line.
This resulted in leakage of an irq_desc but more importantly this splat

In the PVHVM path when we do CPU online/offline path we would
leak the timer%d IRQ line everytime we do a offline event. The
online path (xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents via
x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev) would allocate a new interrupt
line for the timer%d.
But we would still use the old interrupt line leading to:

x86/gdt/64-bit: store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path is not needed.

saved and reloaded during early resume path.
Hence we do not need to worry about the pvops call-chain for saving the
GDT and can and can eliminate it. The other areas where the store_gdt is
used are never going to be hit when running under the pvops platforms.

Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only.
This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory
write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel
base offset, if it has been relocated.
We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the
F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or
not. Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to
be very specific. This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs,
but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver
the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5
processors.

Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to
preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact.
Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away
arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such
environment.
[ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU
updates" may cause a minor performance regression on
bare metal. This patch resolves that performance regression. It is
somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ]

Right before try to clear the page, we make a hypercall to change

And the _RW flag is set for that page:

The error code is 3, so PFEC_page_present and PFEC_write_access, so page is
present (correct), and we tried to write to the page, but a violation
occurred. The one theory is that the the page entries in hardware
(which are cached) are not up to date with what we just set. Especially
as we have just done an CR3 write and flushed the multicalls.
This patch does solve the problem by flusing out the TLB page
entry after changing it from _RO to _RW and we don't hit this
issue anymore.

is not the case (given there are no messages for it in dmesg). This is not equal
to MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK and thus becomes _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS.
It looks like the problem starts early in reserve_memtype:
if (!pat_enabled) {
/* This is identical to page table setting without PAT */
if (new_type) {
if (req_type == _PAGE_CACHE_WC)
*new_type = _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS;
else
*new_type = req_type & _PAGE_CACHE_MASK;
}
return 0;
}
This would be what we want, that is clearing the PWT and PCD flags from the
supported flags - if pat_enabled is disabled."
This patch does that - disabling PAT.

Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has two new ACPI drivers for Xen - a physical CPU offline/online
and a memory hotplug. The way this works is that ACPI kicks the
drivers and they make the appropiate hypercall to the hypervisor to
tell it that there is a new CPU or memory. There also some changes to
the Xen ARM ABIs and couple of fixes. One particularly nasty bug in
the Xen PV spinlock code was fixed by Stefan Bader - and has been
there since the 2.6.32!
Features:
- Xen ACPI memory and CPU hotplug drivers - allowing Xen hypervisor
to be aware of new CPU and new DIMMs
- Cleanups
Bug-fixes:
- Fixes a long-standing bug in the PV spinlock wherein we did not
kick VCPUs that were in a tight loop.
- Fixes in the error paths for the event channel machinery"
Fix up a few semantic conflicts with the ACPI interface changes in
drivers/xen/xen-acpi-{cpu,mem}hotplug.c.
