cee87af2a5 [IA64] kexec: Use EFI_LOADER_DATA for ELF core header
The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option.  The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.

The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY.  With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.

So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA.  This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs.  In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.

This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen.  Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory().  The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().

The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

6ebf622b25 [PATCH] disable NMI watchdog by default
there's a new NMI watchdog related problem: KVM crashes on certain
bzImages because ... we enable the NMI watchdog by default (even if the
user does not ask for it) , and no other OS on this planet does that so
KVM doesnt have emulation for that yet. So KVM injects a #GP, which
crashes the Linux guest:

 general protection fault: 0000 [#1]
 PREEMPT SMP
 Modules linked in:
 CPU:    0
 EIP:    0060:[<c011a8ae>]    Not tainted VLI
 EFLAGS: 00000246   (2.6.20-rc5-rt0 #3)
 EIP is at setup_apic_nmi_watchdog+0x26d/0x3d3

and no, i did /not/ request an nmi_watchdog on the boot command line!

Solution: turn off that darn thing! It's a debug tool, not a 'make life
harder' tool!!

with this patch the KVM guest boots up just fine.

And with this my laptop (Lenovo T60) also stopped its sporadic hard
hanging (sometimes in acpi_init(), sometimes later during bootup,
sometimes much later during actual use) as well. It hung with both
nmi_watchdog=1 and nmi_watchdog=2, so it's generally the fact of NMI
injection that is causing problems, not the NMI watchdog variant, nor
any particular bootup code.

e81ce1f7ec [PATCH] timer/hrtimer: take per cpu locks in sane order
Doing something like this on a two cpu system

  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

will give me this:

  =======================================================
  [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
  2.6.21-rc2-g562aa1d4-dirty #7
  -------------------------------------------------------
  bash/1282 is trying to acquire lock:
   (&cpu_base->lock_key){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f17e>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xc6/0x240

  but task is already holding lock:
   (&cpu_base->lock_key#2){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f174>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xbc/0x240

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

This happens because we have the following code in kernel/hrtimer.c:

  migrate_hrtimers(int cpu)
  [...]
  old_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu);
  new_base = &get_cpu_var(hrtimer_bases);
  [...]
  spin_lock(&new_base->lock);
  spin_lock(&old_base->lock);

Which means the spinlocks are taken in an order which depends on which cpu
gets shut down from which other cpu. Therefore lockdep complains that there
might be an ABBA deadlock. Since migrate_hrtimers() gets only called on
cpu hotplug it's safe to assume that it isn't executed concurrently on a

The same problem exists in kernel/timer.c: migrate_timers().

As pointed out by Christian Borntraeger one possible solution to avoid
the locking order complaints would be to make sure that the locks are
always taken in the same order. E.g. by taking the lock of the cpu with
the lower number first.

To achieve this we introduce two new spinlock functions double_spin_lock
and double_spin_unlock which lock or unlock two locks in a given order.

6bb74df481 [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)
This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426

The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.

It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.

Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).

This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

772205f62e [PATCH] vmi: apic ops
Use para_fill instead of directly setting the APIC ops to the result of the
vmi_get_function call - this allows one to implement a VMI ROM without
implementing APIC functions, just using the native APIC functions.

While doing this, I realized that there is a lot more cleanup that should have
been done.  Basically, we should never assume that the ROM implements a
specific set of functions, and always allow fallback to the native
implementation.

This is critical for future compatibility.

e30fab3ad3 [PATCH] vmi: pit override
The time_init_hook in paravirt-ops no longer functions in the correct manner
after the integration of the hrtimers code.  The problem is that now the call
path for time initialization is:

  time_init :
       late_time_init = hpet_time_init;

  late_time_init -> hpet_time_init:
       setup_pit_timer (BAD)
       do_time_init --> (via paravirt.h)
          time_init_hook --> (via arch_hooks.h)
              time_init_hook (in SUBARCH/setup.c)

If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect
function pointer in the paravirt-ops table.  The problem is, by the time the
paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled.

But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT.
Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all
nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the
late_time_init hook.  This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the
same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have
outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too
late.

So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which
is the time init function used for native hardware.  Paravirt guests have the
chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should
need no change.

eda08b1bef [PATCH] vmi: paravirt drop udelay op
Not respecting udelay causes problems with any virtual hardware that is passed
through to real hardware.  This can be noticed by any device that interacts
with the real world in real time - like AP startup, which takes real time.  Or
keyboard LEDs, which should blink in real-time.  Or floppy drives, but only
when passed through to a real floppy controller on OSes which can't
sufficiently buffer the floppy commands to emulate a zero latency floppy.  Or
IDE drives, when connecting to a physical CDROM.

This was mostly a hack to get the kernel to boot faster, but it introduced a
number of misvirtualization bugs, and Alan and Pavel argued pretty strongly
against it.  We were the only client, and now want to clean up this cruft.

9a1c13e91f [PATCH] vmi: fix highpte
Provide a PT map hook for HIGHPTE kernels to designate where they are mapping
page tables.  This information is required so the physical address of PTE
updates can be determined; otherwise, the mm layer would have to carry the
physical address all the way to each PTE modification callsite, which is even
more hideous that the macros required to provide the proper hooks.

So lets not mess up arch neutral code to achieve this, but keep the horror in
an #ifdef HIGHPTE in include/asm-i386/pgtable.h.  I had to use macros here
because some types are not yet defined in all the include paths for this
header.

This patch is absolutely required for HIGHPTE kernels to operate properly with
VMI.

1182d8528b [PATCH] vmi: cpu cycles fix
In order to share the common code in tsc.c which does CPU Khz calibration, we
need to make an accurate value of CPU speed available to the tsc.c code.  This
value loses a lot of precision in a VM because of the timing differences with
real hardware, but we need it to be as precise as possible so the guest can
make accurate time calculations with the cycle counters.

6cb9a8350a [PATCH] vmi: sched clock paravirt op fix
The custom_sched_clock hook is broken.  The result from sched_clock needs to
be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles.  The TSC is insufficient for this
purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly
represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).

To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
that is scheduled time.  So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along.  This allows the tsc.c
code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops
backends.

It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct
abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine
implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I
ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even
got in the wrong units.

0dc952dc3e [PATCH] Page migration: Fix vma flag checking
Currently we do not check for vma flags if sys_move_pages is called to move
individual pages.  If sys_migrate_pages is called to move pages then we
check for vm_flags that indicate a non migratable vma but that still
includes VM_LOCKED and we can migrate mlocked pages.

Extract the vma_migratable check from mm/mempolicy.c, fix it and put it
into migrate.h so that is can be used from both locations.

69f7c0a1be [PATCH] sched: remove SMT nice
Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared.  The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.

Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.

Also:

  The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
  further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code.  So
  either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely.  It was Ingo's preference
  to kill it off.  Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
  has gone in.

f5f2b13129 [PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disabling
In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
hardware does not have an msi capability enabled.  Currently the code has been
calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that.  However disable_msi_mode
has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.

Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.

pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
clearing the msi enable bit.  A device that is not allowed to perform bus
mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering.  So the call
in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.

quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.

bccf2150fe KVM: Per-vcpu inodes
Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM.  This has the following
benefits:

 - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
   every ioctl()
 - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
   KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
   userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
   from the fd used to make the call

Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects.  But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.

f17abe9a44 KVM: Create an inode per virtual machine
This avoids having filp->f_op and the corresponding inode->i_fop different,
which is a little unorthodox.

The ioctl list is split into two: global kvm ioctls and per-vm ioctls.  A new
ioctl, KVM_CREATE_VM, is used to create VMs and return the VM fd.

81d368e0e2 ide: ide_get_best_pio_mode() returns incorrect IORDY setting (take 2)
The function ide_get_best_pio_mode() fails to return the correct IORDY setting
for the explicitly specified modes -- fix this along with the heading comment,
and also remove the long commented out code.

Also, while at it, correct the misliading comment about the PIO cycle time in
<linux/ide.h> -- it actually consists of only the active and recovery periods,
with only some chips also including the address setup time into equation...

[ bart: sl82c105 seems to be currently the only driver affected by this fix ]

5c15bdec5c [VLAN]: Avoid a 4-order allocation.
This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On
x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing
a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system
external fragmentation conditions.

I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the
softirq context of the RCU callback.

8488df894d [NET]: Fix bugs in "Whether sock accept queue is full" checking
when I use linux TCP socket, and find there is a bug in function
sk_acceptq_is_full().

	When a new SYN comes, TCP module first checks its validation. If valid,
send SYN,ACK to the client and add the sock to the syn hash table. Next
time if received the valid ACK for SYN,ACK from the client. server will
accept this connection and increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog -- which is
done in function tcp_check_req().We check wether acceptq is full in
function tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock().

Consider an example:

 After listen(sockfd, 1) system call, sk->sk_max_ack_backlog is set to
1. As we know, sk->sk_ack_backlog is initialized to 0. Assuming accept()
system call is not invoked now.

1. 1st connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk-
>sk_ack_backlog=0 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 0 accept
this connection. Increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog
2. 2nd connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk-
>sk_ack_backlog=1 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 0 accept
this connection. Increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog
3. 3rd connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk-
>sk_ack_backlog=2 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 1. Refuse
this connection.

I think it has bugs. after listen system call. sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1
but now it can accept 2 connections.

032af1ce16 libata-core: Fix simplex handling
The initial simplex handling code is fooled if you suspend and resume.
This also causes problems with some single channel controllers which
claim to be simplex.

The fix is fairly simple, instead of keeping a flag to remember if we
gave away the simplex channel we remember the actual owner. As the owner
is always part of the host_set we don't even need a refcount.

Knowing the owner also means we can reassign simplex DMA channels in
future hotplug code etc if we need to
