This patch accounts for the time stolen from our VCPUs. Stolen time is
time where a vcpu is runnable and could be running, but all available
physical CPUs are being used for something else.
This accounting gets run on each timer interrupt, just as a way to get
it run relatively often, and when interesting things are going on.
Stolen time is not really used by much in the kernel; it is reported
in /proc/stats, and that's about it.

When setting up the initial pagetable, which includes mappings of all
low physical memory, ignore a mapping which tries to set the RW bit on
an RO pte. An RO pte indicates a page which is part of the current
pagetable, and so it cannot be allowed to become RW.
Once xen_pagetable_setup_done is called, set_pte reverts to its normal
behaviour.

Xen requires all active pagetables to be marked read-only. When the
base of the pagetable is loaded into %cr3, the hypervisor validates
the entire pagetable and only allows the load to proceed if it all
checks out.
This is pretty slow, so to mitigate this cost Xen has a notion of
pinned pagetables. Pinned pagetables are pagetables which are
considered to be active even if no processor's cr3 is pointing to is.
This means that it must remain read-only and all updates are validated
by the hypervisor. This makes context switches much cheaper, because
the hypervisor doesn't need to revalidate the pagetable each time.
This also adds a new paravirt hook which is called during setup once
the zones and memory allocator have been initialized. When the
init_mm pagetable is first built, the struct page array does not yet
exist, and so there's nowhere to put he init_mm pagetable's PG_pinned
flags. Once the zones are initialized and the struct page array
exists, we can set the PG_pinned flags for those pages.
This patch also adds the Xen support for pte pages allocated out of
highmem (highpte) by implementing xen_kmap_atomic_pte.

Xen maintains a base clock which measures nanoseconds since system
boot. This is provided to guests via a shared page which contains a
base time in ns, a tsc timestamp at that point and tsc frequency
parameters. Guests can compute the current time by reading the tsc
and using it to extrapolate the current time from the basetime. The
hypervisor makes sure that the frequency parameters are updated
regularly, paricularly if the tsc changes rate or stops.
This is implemented as a clocksource, so the interface to the rest of
the kernel is a simple clocksource which simply returns the current
time directly in nanoseconds.
Xen also provides a simple timer mechanism, which allows a timeout to
be set in the future. When that time arrives, a timer event is sent
to the guest. There are two timer interfaces:
- An old one which also delivers a stream of (unused) ticks at 100Hz,
and on the same event, the actual timer events. The 100Hz ticks
cause a lot of spurious wakeups, but are basically harmless.
- The new timer interface doesn't have the 100Hz ticks, and can also
fail if the specified time is in the past.
This code presents the Xen timer as a clockevent driver, and uses the
new interface by preference.

Xen implements interrupts in terms of event channels. Each guest
domain gets 1024 event channels which can be used for a variety of
purposes, such as Xen timer events, inter-domain events,
inter-processor events (IPI) or for real hardware IRQs.
Within the kernel, we map the event channels to IRQs, and implement
the whole interrupt handling using a Xen irq_chip.
Rather than setting NR_IRQ to 1024 under PARAVIRT in order to
accomodate Xen, we create a dynamic mapping between event channels and
IRQs. Ideally, Linux will eventually move towards dynamically
allocating per-irq structures, and we can use a 1:1 mapping between
event channels and irqs.

Xen pagetable handling, including the machinery to implement direct
pagetables.
Xen presents the real CPU's pagetables directly to guests, with no
added shadowing or other layer of abstraction. Naturally this means
the hypervisor must maintain close control over what the guest can put
into the pagetable.
When the guest modifies the pte/pmd/pgd, it must convert its
domain-specific notion of a "physical" pfn into a global machine frame
number (mfn) before inserting the entry into the pagetable. Xen will
check to make sure the domain is allowed to create a mapping of the
given mfn.
Xen also requires that all mappings the guest has of its own active
pagetable are read-only. This is relatively easy to implement in
Linux because all pagetables share the same pte pages for kernel
mappings, so updating the pte in one pagetable will implicitly update
the mapping in all pagetables.
Normally a pagetable becomes active when you point to it with cr3 (or
the Xen equivalent), but when you do so, Xen must check the whole
pagetable for correctness, which is clearly a performance problem.
Xen solves this with pinning which keeps a pagetable effectively
active even if its currently unused, which means that all the normal
update rules are enforced. This means that it need not revalidate the
pagetable when loading cr3.
This patch has a first-cut implementation of pinning, but it is more
fully implemented in a later patch.

This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen
implementation, including:
- booting and setup
- pagetable setup
- privileged instructions
- segmentation
- interrupt flags
- upcalls
- multicall batching
BOOTING AND SETUP
The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen
domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder
then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel.
Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note).
The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S.
In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke
lots of binutils bugs.
Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state
(32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's
not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main
steps are:
1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a
structure assignment.
2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the
head.S generated pagetables in a native boot).
3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top
of the address space for its own use.
4. Call start_kernel()
PAGETABLE SETUP
Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back
via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One
of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the
construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places
tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be
valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we
need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these
constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is
use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just
insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist.
This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of
xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as
read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but
lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set
properly.
PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION
When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0.
This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it
still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance
critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception
and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but
more performance-critical instructions have their own specific
paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls
for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different
from the normal native version.
The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of:
Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT,
TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly
modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new
entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses
segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the
hypervisor itself.
Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints,
so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be
converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially
so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel
without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported.
Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to
Xen.
TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding
Xen hypercalls.
Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most
important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable,
and we handle it specially.
Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not
privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the
rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op.
Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems.
INTERRUPT FLAGS
Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is
contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest
kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely
ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables
interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall).
(A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively
synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a
"mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.)
There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which
are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing
worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly
see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make
sure it gets delivered.
UPCALLS
Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented
by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events
(interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is
the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either
reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are
implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal
iret_exc path when necessary.
MULTICALL BATCHING
Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls
to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into
the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches,
since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update
TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a
generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many
places in the Xen code.

The tsc-based get_scheduled_cycles interface is not a good match for
Xen's runstate accounting, which reports everything in nanoseconds.
This patch replaces this interface with a sched_clock interface, which
matches both Xen and VMI's requirements.
In order to do this, we:
1. replace get_scheduled_cycles with sched_clock
2. hoist cycles_2_ns into a common header
3. update vmi accordingly
One thing to note: because sched_clock is implemented as a weak
function in kernel/sched.c, we must define a real function in order to
override this weak binding. This means the usual paravirt_ops
technique of using an inline function won't work in this case.

fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.
Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
a) to support fallocate() system call
b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

On some motherboards ACPI C3 is available, but it isn't
causing frequency transition on VIA Nehemiah. Longhaul
wasn't working at all earlier, but due to
scaling_cur_speed returning true CPU frequency now, it
looks like CPU is getting stuck at highest frequency
since 2.6.21. I didn't find a reason. Halt is causing
frequency transition.

Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.
This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.
In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

Processors synchronization in set_mtrr requires the .gate field to be set
after .count field is properly initialized. Without an explicit barrier,
the compiler was reordering those memory stores. That was sometimes
causing a processor (in ipi_handler) to see the .gate change and decrement
.count before the latter is set by set_mtrr() (which then hangs in a
infinite loop with irqs disabled).

The commit 635cf99a80 introduced a

The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall

I loops on each single step on the pop right after the int80 which writes out

Matthias Lenk reports that the PCI subsystem would move the HPET on
SB400/SB600-based systems, where the HPET is in BAR1 of the SMbus
controller.
The reason? The ACPI layer registered the PCI MMIO range as being busy
too early, before PCI enumeration had happened, causing the PCI layer to
decide that it should relocate the resources somewhere else.
Firmware resources should be marked busy _after_ the PCI enumeration and
probing has happened, not before.
Remove the too-early reservation, we'll fix it up to do it properly
later. In the meantime, this solves the regression.

Commit 9215da3320 "fixed" the MTRR range
check to not allow any MTRR's under the 1MB mark (since that's where the
fixed MTRR's are active).
However, that was totally bogus, since it's normal (and almost required)
to have a large variable MTRR that starts at 0, and covers some large
percentage of the whole RAM, and then using the fixed MTRR's to override
that large MTRR to handle the special ISA hole in the 640k-1M region.
The old check was bogus too (checking that no variable MTRR is used that
is entirely under the 1MB range), but at least it wasn't actively
detrimental, because no sane situation would ever trigger such MTRR
usage in the first place.
That said, the whole notion of not allowing variable MTRR's in the low
1MB is just stupid, so rather than revert the commit, this just removes
the whole sad and unnecessary check entirely.

Register %ebx serves as the "global offset table base register" for

either case, a function must preserve the register value for the caller.
acpi_copy_wakeup_routine overrides %ebx without saving it, this may corrupt

Kevin found that most time the value of Sx is saved in %esi, however
sometimes compiler also uses %ebx. When this happens, suspends fails since

But since we only need it in PAE kernels so only force the checking

This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong.
In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be
in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;) then the
do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the
goto bad_area_nosemaphore;
But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the
process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole
time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a
higher priority task.
This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the
bad_area_nosemaphore.

powernow-k8 really needs to use ACPI to function on SMP systems.
The current Kconfig allows us to build kernels which fail mysteriously
for some users due to us trying to automatically enable this, and
getting it wrong. It's easier to just present this as an option

Current version of "bm status" bit test works as long as
no USB device is in use. When USB device is plugged in ACPI
function in this context is always returning 1. Until reboot.
Direct I/O is working fine even when many USB devices are

I have a Dell Optiplex GX240 and when I boot Linux, ACPI gets set up by only
acpi=ht. dmesg shows the following line:
DELL GX240 detected: force use of acpi=ht
Everything seemed to be fine. However, I discovered that everything is not
fine. The USB controller works so slowly that copying a few (uncached) 1
megabyte large photos from a USB-enabled digital camera takes many minutes
instead of a couple of seconds.
I am using Linux 2.6.21.1 on a Debian 4.0 ("Etch") system.
I thought that this might be related to ACPI. So I tried to boot with _only_
"acpi=force" appended to the kernel command line. Voila, the USB controller
started to work at full speed and copying photos from my digital camera took
only seconds.
I tested the system with "acpi=force" and could not find anything which did
not work.
I thought that this might be related to interrupts and APIC as well. (Note
that this is APIC, not ACPI.) I tried booting with _only_ "noapic" and
"nolapic" appended to the command line. Again, the USB controller started to
work at full speed.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

It turns out the kernel was correct, and the gcc complaint was a gcc
bug. The preferred stack boundary is expressed not in bytes, but in the
the log2() of the preferred boundary, so "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2"
is in fact exactly what we want, but a gcc that is compiled for x86-64
will consider it an error (because the 64-bit calling sequence says that
the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to
generate 32-bit code.

When the PST tables are broken, powernow-k7 uses ACPI's processor_perflib to
deduce the available frequency multipliers from the _PSS tables.
Upon frequency change, processor_perflib performs some verification on the
frequency (checks that it's within allowable bounds).
powernow-k7 deals with absolute frequencies in KHz, whereas perflib only
deals with MHz values. When performing the above verification, perflib
multiplies the MHz values by 1000 to obtain the KHz value.
We then end up with situations like the following:
- powernow-k7 multiplies the multiplier by the FSB, and obtains a value
such as 1266768 KHz
- perflib belives the same state has frequency of 1266 MHz
- acpi_processor_ppc_notifier calls cpufreq_verify_within_limits to verify
that 1266768 is in the allowable range of 0 to 1266000 (i.e. 1266 * 1000)
- it's not, so that frequency is rejected
- the maximum CPU frequency is not reachable
This patch solves the problem by rounding up the MHz values stored in perflib's
tables. Additionally it corrects a broken URL.
It also fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8255 although this
case is a bit different: the frequencies in the _PSS tables are wildly wrong,
but we get better results if we force ACPI to respect the fsb * multiplier
calculations (even though it seems that the multiplier values aren't entirely
correct either).

This reverts commit c9ccf30d77.
Entering the kernel at startup_32 without passing our real mode data in
%esi, and without guaranteeing that physical and virtual addresses are
identity mapped makes head.S impossible to maintain.
The only user of this infrastructure is lguest which is not merged so
nothing we currently support will break by removing this over designed
nightmare, and only the pending lguest patches will be affected. The
pending Xen patches have a different entry point that they use.
We are currently discussing what Xen and lguest need to do to boot the
kernel in a more normal fashion so using startup_32 in this weird manner is
clearly not their long term direction.
So let's remove this code in head.S before it causes brain damage to people
trying to maintain head.S
