706cc9d2a4 xen/m2p: Check whether the MFN has IDENTITY_FRAME bit set..
If there is no proper PFN value in the M2P for the MFN
(so we get 0xFFFFF.. or 0x55555, or 0x0), we should
consult the M2P override to see if there is an entry for this.
[Note: we also consult the M2P override if the MFN
is past our machine_to_phys size].

We consult the P2M with the PFN. In case the returned
MFN is one of the special values: 0xFFF.., 0x5555
(which signify that the MFN can be either "missing" or it
belongs to DOMID_IO) or the p2m(m2p(mfn)) != mfn, we check
the M2P override. If we fail the M2P override check, we reset
the PFN value to INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.

Next we try to find the MFN in the P2M using the MFN
value (not the PFN value) and if found, we know
that this MFN is an identity value and return it as so.

Otherwise we have exhausted all the posibilities and we
return the PFN, which at this stage can either be a real
PFN value found in the machine_to_phys.. array, or
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY value.

68df0da7f4 xen/setup: Set identity mapping for non-RAM E820 and E820 gaps.
We walk the E820 region and start at 0 (for PV guests we start
at ISA_END_ADDRESS) and skip any E820 RAM regions. For all other
regions and as well the gaps we set them to be identity mappings.

The reasons we do not want to set the identity mapping from 0->
ISA_END_ADDRESS when running as PV is b/c that the kernel would
try to read DMI information and fail (no permissions to read that).
There is a lot of gnarly code to deal with that weird region so
we won't try to do a cleanup in this patch.

This code ends up calling 'set_phys_to_identity' with the start
and end PFN of the the E820 that are non-RAM or have gaps.
On 99% of machines that means one big region right underneath the
4GB mark. Usually starts at 0xc0000 (or 0x80000) and goes to
0x100000.

c761779877 xen/mmu: WARN_ON when racing to swap middle leaf.
The initial bootup code uses set_phys_to_machine quite a lot, and after
bootup it would be used by the balloon driver. The balloon driver does have
mutex lock so this should not be necessary - but just in case, add
a WARN_ON if we do hit this scenario. If we do fail this, it is OK
to continue as there is a backup mechanism (VM_IO) that can bypass
the P2M and still set the _PAGE_IOMAP flags.

f4cec35b0d xen/mmu: Add the notion of identity (1-1) mapping.
Our P2M tree structure is a three-level. On the leaf nodes
we set the Machine Frame Number (MFN) of the PFN. What this means
is that when one does: pfn_to_mfn(pfn), which is used when creating
PTE entries, you get the real MFN of the hardware. When Xen sets
up a guest it initially populates a array which has descending
(or ascending) MFN values, as so:

 idx: 0,  1,       2
 [0x290F, 0x290E, 0x290D, ..]

so pfn_to_mfn(2)==0x290D. If you start, restart many guests that list
starts looking quite random.

We graft this structure on our P2M tree structure and stick in
those MFN in the leafs. But for all other leaf entries, or for the top
root, or middle one, for which there is a void entry, we assume it is
"missing". So
 pfn_to_mfn(0xc0000)=INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.

We add the possibility of setting 1-1 mappings on certain regions, so
that:
 pfn_to_mfn(0xc0000)=0xc0000

The benefit of this is, that we can assume for non-RAM regions (think
PCI BARs, or ACPI spaces), we can create mappings easily b/c we
get the PFN value to match the MFN.

For this to work efficiently we introduce one new page p2m_identity and
allocate (via reserved_brk) any other pages we need to cover the sides
(1GB or 4MB boundary violations). All entries in p2m_identity are set to
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY type (Xen toolstack only recognizes that and MFNs,
no other fancy value).

On lookup we spot that the entry points to p2m_identity and return the identity
value instead of dereferencing and returning INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. If the entry
points to an allocated page, we just proceed as before and return the PFN.
If the PFN has IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT set we unmask that in appropriate functions
(pfn_to_mfn).

The reason for having the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT instead of just returning the
PFN is that we could find ourselves where pfn_to_mfn(pfn)==pfn for a
non-identity pfn. To protect ourselves against we elect to set (and get) the
IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT on all identity mapped PFNs.

This simplistic diagram is used to explain the more subtle piece of code.
There is also a digram of the P2M at the end that can help.
Imagine your E820 looking as so:

                   1GB                                           2GB
/-------------------+---------\/----\         /----------\    /---+-----\
| System RAM        | Sys RAM ||ACPI|         | reserved |    | Sys RAM |
\-------------------+---------/\----/         \----------/    \---+-----/
                              ^- 1029MB                       ^- 2001MB

[1029MB = 263424 (0x40500), 2001MB = 512256 (0x7D100), 2048MB = 524288 (0x80000)]

And dom0_mem=max:3GB,1GB is passed in to the guest, meaning memory past 1GB
is actually not present (would have to kick the balloon driver to put it in).

When we are told to set the PFNs for identity mapping (see patch: "xen/setup:
Set identity mapping for non-RAM E820 and E820 gaps.") we pass in the start
of the PFN and the end PFN (263424 and 512256 respectively). The first step is
to reserve_brk a top leaf page if the p2m[1] is missing. The top leaf page
covers 512^2 of page estate (1GB) and in case the start or end PFN is not
aligned on 512^2*PAGE_SIZE (1GB) we loop on aligned 1GB PFNs from start pfn to
end pfn.  We reserve_brk top leaf pages if they are missing (means they point
to p2m_mid_missing).

With the E820 example above, 263424 is not 1GB aligned so we allocate a
reserve_brk page which will cover the PFNs estate from 0x40000 to 0x80000.
Each entry in the allocate page is "missing" (points to p2m_missing).

Next stage is to determine if we need to do a more granular boundary check
on the 4MB (or 2MB depending on architecture) off the start and end pfn's.
We check if the start pfn and end pfn violate that boundary check, and if
so reserve_brk a middle (p2m[x][y]) leaf page. This way we have a much finer
granularity of setting which PFNs are missing and which ones are identity.
In our example 263424 and 512256 both fail the check so we reserve_brk two
pages. Populate them with INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (so they both have "missing" values)
and assign them to p2m[1][2] and p2m[1][488] respectively.

At this point we would at minimum reserve_brk one page, but could be up to
three. Each call to set_phys_range_identity has at maximum a three page
cost. If we were to query the P2M at this stage, all those entries from
start PFN through end PFN (so 1029MB -> 2001MB) would return INVALID_P2M_ENTRY
("missing").

The next step is to walk from the start pfn to the end pfn setting
the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT on each PFN. This is done in 'set_phys_range_identity'.
If we find that the middle leaf is pointing to p2m_missing we can swap it over
to p2m_identity - this way covering 4MB (or 2MB) PFN space.  At this point we
do not need to worry about boundary aligment (so no need to reserve_brk a middle
page, figure out which PFNs are "missing" and which ones are identity), as that
has been done earlier.  If we find that the middle leaf is not occupied by
p2m_identity or p2m_missing, we dereference that page (which covers
512 PFNs) and set the appropriate PFN with IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT. In our example
263424 and 512256 end up there, and we set from p2m[1][2][256->511] and
p2m[1][488][0->256] with IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT set.

All other regions that are void (or not filled) either point to p2m_missing
(considered missing) or have the default value of INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (also
considered missing). In our case, p2m[1][2][0->255] and p2m[1][488][257->511]
contain the INVALID_P2M_ENTRY value and are considered "missing."

This is what the p2m ends up looking (for the E820 above) with this
fabulous drawing:

   p2m         /--------------\
 /-----\       | &mfn_list[0],|                           /-----------------\

371c394af2 x86, binutils, xen: Fix another wrong size directive
The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build
yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that
refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very
strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol.

[ mingo:

   This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils
   version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning
   several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream
   kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially
   affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs).

   Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch
   bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8:

     3d75e1b8        (Jeremy Fitzhardinge    2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback)   # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)

   The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END()
   debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the
   ENTRY() and the END():

     ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback)   # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
       ...
     END(do_hypervisor_callback)

   Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils
   never even warned about it either.

   This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels
   since v2.6.27, out of the blue.

   This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels
   impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred
   thousand historic commits. (!)

   This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn
   this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ]

86b32122fd xen/e820: Don't mark balloon memory as E820_UNUSABLE when running as guest and fix overflow.
If we have a guest that asked for:

memory=1024
maxmem=2048

Which means we want 1GB now, and create pagetables so that we can expand
up to 2GB, we would have this E820 layout:

[    0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[    0.000000]  Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
[    0.000000]  Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
[    0.000000]  Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000080800000 (usable)

Due to patch: "xen/setup: Inhibit resource API from using System RAM E820 gaps as PCI mem gaps."
we would mark the memory past the 1GB mark as unusuable resulting in:

[    0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[    0.000000]  Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
[    0.000000]  Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
[    0.000000]  Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000040000000 (usable)
[    0.000000]  Xen: 0000000040000000 - 0000000080800000 (unusable)

which meant that we could not balloon up anymore. We could
balloon the guest down. The fix is to run the code introduced
by the above mentioned patch only for the initial domain.

We will have to revisit this once we start introducing a modified
E820 for PCI passthrough so that we can utilize the P2M identity code.

We also fix an overflow by having UL instead of ULL on 32-bit machines.

37a9d912b2 futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API
The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
    
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

722b3c7469 ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before updating index
Currently the index to the ret_stack is updated and the real return address
is saved in the ret_stack. Then we call the trace function. The trace
function could decide that it doesn't want to trace this function
(ex. set_graph_function does not match) and it will return 0 which means
not to trace this call.

The normal function graph tracer has this code:

	if (!(trace->depth || ftrace_graph_addr(trace->func)) ||
	      ftrace_graph_ignore_irqs())
		return 0;

What this states is, if the trace depth (which is curr_ret_stack)
is zero (top of nested functions) then test if we want to trace this
function. If this function is not to be traced, then return  0 and
the rest of the function graph tracer logic will not trace this function.

The problem arises when an interrupt comes in after we updated the
curr_ret_stack. The next function that gets called will have a trace->depth
of 1. Which fools this trace code into thinking that we are in a nested
function, and that we should trace. This causes interrupts to be traced
when they should not be.

The solution is to trace the function first and then update the ret_stack.

f86268549f x86/mm: Handle mm_fault_error() in kernel space
mm_fault_error() should not execute oom-killer, if page fault
occurs in kernel space.  E.g. in copy_from_user()/copy_to_user().

This would happen if we find ourselves in OOM on a
copy_to_user(), or a copy_from_user() which faults.

Without this patch, the kernels hangs up in copy_from_user(),
because OOM killer sends SIG_KILL to current process, but it
can't handle a signal while in syscall, then the kernel returns
to copy_from_user(), reexcute current command and provokes
page_fault again.

With this patch the kernel return -EFAULT from copy_from_user().

The code, which checks that page fault occurred in kernel space,
has been copied from do_sigbus().

This situation is handled by the same way on powerpc, xtensa,
tile, ...

a7bd1dafdc x86: Don't check for BIOS corruption in first 64K when there's no need to
Due to commit 781c5a67f1 it is
likely that the number of areas to scan for BIOS corruption is 0
 -- especially when the first 64K is already reserved
(X86_RESERVE_LOW is 64K by default).

If that's the case then don't set up the scan.

5471262290 x86, UV: Initialize the broadcast assist unit base destination node id properly
The BAU's initialization of the broadcast description header is
lacking the coherence domain (high bits) in the nasid.  This
causes a catastrophic system failure when running on a system
with multiple coherence domains.

c49aa5bd13 x86: Remove dead config option X86_CPU
This isn't being referenced anywhere, and the selects done from
it can be easily done together with all the other X86 ones.

 v2: Also adjust UML's Kconfig.x86.

2a8247a260 kprobes: Disabling optimized kprobes for entry text section
You can crash the kernel (with root/admin privileges) using kprobe tracer by running:

 echo "p system_call_after_swapgs" > ./kprobe_events
 echo 1 > ./events/kprobes/enable

The reason is that at the system_call_after_swapgs label, the
kernel stack is not set up. If optimized kprobes are enabled,
the user space stack is being used in this case (see optimized
kprobe template) and this might result in a crash.

There are several places like this over the entry code
(entry_$BIT). As it seems there's no any reasonable/maintainable
way to disable only those places where the stack is not ready, I
switched off the whole entry code from kprobe optimizing.

ea7145477a x86: Separate out entry text section
Put x86 entry code into a separate link section: .entry.text.

Separating the entry text section seems to have performance
benefits - caused by more efficient instruction cache usage.

Running hackbench with perf stat --repeat showed that the change
compresses the icache footprint. The icache load miss rate went
down by about 15%:

 before patch:
         19417627  L1-icache-load-misses      ( +-   0.147% )

 after patch:
         16490788  L1-icache-load-misses      ( +-   0.180% )

The motivation of the patch was to fix a particular kprobes
bug that relates to the entry text section, the performance
advantage was discovered accidentally.

Whole perf output follows:
