The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order
function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements
unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h
and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h
and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple
(e.g. nommu) architectures.

The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the
atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h

This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other
files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform.
We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included
from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there.
We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers
need the word size but cannot include types.h.
The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h>
that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and
BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic
version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides
it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

This patch introduces three boot options (no_cmci, dont_log_ce
and ignore_ce) to control handling for corrected errors.
The "mce=no_cmci" boot option disables the CMCI feature.
Since CMCI is a new feature so having boot controls to disable
it will be a help if the hardware is misbehaving.
The "mce=dont_log_ce" boot option disables logging for corrected
errors. All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
This option will be useful if you never care about corrected
errors.
The "mce=ignore_ce" boot option disables features for corrected
errors, i.e. polling timer and cmci. All corrected events are
not cleared and kept in bank MSRs.
Usually this disablement is not recommended, however it will be
a help if there are some conflict with the BIOS or hardware
monitoring applications etc., that clears corrected events in
banks instead of OS.

It also has a special option to catch machine checks that happen

Do these interceptions and forward them to the Linux machine check
handler. Make it always look like user space is interrupted because
the machine check handler treats kernel/user space differently.

Memory aliases with different memory type is a problem for guest. For the guest
without assigned device, the memory type of guest memory would always been the
same as host(WB); but for the assigned device, some part of memory may be used
as DMA and then set to uncacheable memory type(UC/WC), which would be a conflict of
host memory type then be a potential issue.

A pte that is shadowed when the guest EFER.NXE=1 is not valid when
EFER.NXE=0; if bit 63 is set, the pte should cause a fault, and since the
shadow EFER always has NX enabled, this won't happen.

This patch finally enable MSI-X.
What we need for MSI-X:
1. Intercept one page in MMIO region of device. So that we can get guest desired
MSI-X table and set up the real one. Now this have been done by guest, and
transfer to kernel using ioctl KVM_SET_MSIX_NR and KVM_SET_MSIX_ENTRY.
2. Information for incoming interrupt. Now one device can have more than one
interrupt, and they are all handled by one workqueue structure. So we need to
identify them. The previous patch enable gsi_msg_pending_bitmap get this done.
3. Mapping from host IRQ to guest gsi as well as guest gsi to real MSI/MSI-X
message address/data. We used same entry number for the host and guest here, so
that it's easy to find the correlated guest gsi.
What we lack for now:
1. The PCI spec said nothing can existed with MSI-X table in the same page of
MMIO region, except pending bits. The patch ignore pending bits as the first
step (so they are always 0 - no pending).
2. The PCI spec allowed to change MSI-X table dynamically. That means, the OS
can enable MSI-X, then mask one MSI-X entry, modify it, and unmask it. The patch
didn't support this, and Linux also don't work in this way.
3. The patch didn't implement MSI-X mask all and mask single entry. I would
implement the former in driver/pci/msi.c later. And for single entry, userspace
should have reposibility to handle it.

Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and
bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel

are supplied automatically by the chipset for memory accesses

However, the bits must be present for references to the special

Newer Intel CPUs support a new class of machine checks called recoverable
action optional.
Action Optional means that the CPU detected some form of corruption in
the background and tells the OS about using a machine check
exception. The OS can then take appropiate action, like killing the
process with the corrupted data or logging the event properly to disk.
This is done by the new generic high level memory failure handler added
in a earlier patch. The high level handler takes the address with the
failed memory and does the appropiate action, like killing the process.
In this version of the patch the high level handler is stubbed out
with a weak function to not create a direct dependency on the hwpoison
branch.
The high level handler cannot be directly called from the machine check
exception though, because it has to run in a defined process context to
be able to sleep when taking VM locks (it is not expected to sleep for a
long time, just do so in some exceptional cases like lock contention)
Thus the MCE handler has to queue a work item for process context,
trigger process context and then call the high level handler from there.
This patch adds two path to process context: through a per thread kernel
exit notify_user() callback or through a high priority work item.
The first runs when the process exits back to user space, the other when
it goes to sleep and there is no higher priority process.
The machine check handler will schedule both, and whoever runs first
will grab the event. This is done because quick reaction to this
event is critical to avoid a potential more fatal machine check
when the corruption is consumed.
There is a simple lock less ring buffer to queue the corrupted
addresses between the exception handler and the process context handler.
Then in process context it just calls the high level VM code with
the corrupted PFNs.
The code adds the required code to extract the failed address from
the CPU's machine check registers. It doesn't try to handle all
possible cases -- the specification has 6 different ways to specify
memory address -- but only the linear address.
Most of the required checking has been already done earlier in the
mce_severity rule checking engine. Following the Intel
recommendations Action Optional errors are only enabled for known
situations (encoded in MCACODs). The errors are ignored otherwise,
because they are action optional.

For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled
triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(),
producing ugly backtraces and confusing users.
This is a common situation with machine checks for example which
tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit
in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it
means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which
would be bad.
This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function,
which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other
CPUs.
On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU
smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic
situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex
system state.
I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic
there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch
was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the
underlying complexity problems.
The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by
checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make
this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution
because panic has to be reliable.
So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot
code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus
in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on
too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be
called from interupts off region because it is very very simple.
There can be situations where it is important that panic
is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic
is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly
as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and
all function it calls simple.
This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme.
It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not
particularly precious anymore since all big systems are
using per CPU vectors.
Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar
to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't
work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs
would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts
off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for
using a non NMI vector for now.
I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of
the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down
instead into the next lower priority.

The x86 architecture recently added some new machine check status bits:
S(ignalled) and AR (Action-Required). Signalled allows to check
if a specific event caused an exception or was just logged through CMCI.
AR allows the kernel to decide if an event needs immediate action
or can be delayed or ignored.
Implement support for these new status bits. mce_severity() uses
the new bits to grade the machine check correctly and decide what
to do. The exception handler uses AR to decide to kill or not.
The S bit is used to separate events between the poll/CMCI handler
and the exception handler.
Classical UC always leads to panic. That was true before anyways
because the existing CPUs always passed a PCC with it.
Also corrects the rules whether to kill in user or kernel context
and how to handle missing RIPV.
The machine check handler largely uses the mce-severity grading
engine now instead of making its own decisions. This means the logic
is centralized in one place. This is useful because it has to be
evaluated multiple times.

Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.
The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
to call wake_up(). Instead it set a process flag
and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
or in the idle notifier.
This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.
The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
wake_up().
When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.

Experience has shown that struct mce which is used to pass an machine
check to the user space daemon currently a few limitations. Also some
data which is useful to print at panic level is also missing.
This patch addresses most of them. The same information is also
printed out together with mce panic.
struct mce can be painlessly extended in a compatible way, the mcelog
user space code just ignores additional fields with a warning.
- It doesn't provide a wall time timestamp. There have been a few
complaints about that. Fix that by adding a 64bit time_t
- It doesn't provide the exact CPU identification. This makes
it awkward for mcelog to decode the event correctly, especially
when there are variations in the supported MCE codes on different
CPU models or when mcelog is running on a different host after a panic.
Previously the administrator had to specify the correct CPU
when mcelog ran on a different host, but with the more variation
in machine checks now it's better to auto detect that.
It's also useful for more detailed analysis of CPU events.
Pass CPUID 1.EAX and the cpu vendor (as encoded in processor.h) instead.
- Socket ID and initial APIC ID are useful to report because they
allow to identify the failing CPU in some (not all) cases.
This is also especially useful for the panic situation.
This addresses one of the complaints from Thomas Gleixner earlier.
- The MCG capabilities MSR needs to be reported for some advanced

Allow user programs to write mce records into /dev/mcelog. When they do
that a fake machine check is triggered to test the machine check code.
This uses the MCE MSR wrappers added earlier.
The implementation is straight forward. There is a struct mce record
per CPU and the MCE MSR accesses get data from there if there is valid
data injected there. This allows to test the machine check code
relatively realistically because only the lowest layer of hardware
access is intercepted.

The 64bit machine check code is in many ways much better than
the 32bit machine check code: it is more specification compliant,
is cleaner, only has a single code base versus one per CPU,
has better infrastructure for recovery, has a cleaner way to communicate
with user space etc. etc.
Use the 64bit code for 32bit too.
This is the second attempt to do this. There was one a couple of years
ago to unify this code for 32bit and 64bit. Back then this ran into some
trouble with K7s and was reverted.
I believe this time the K7 problems (and some others) are addressed.
I went over the old handlers and was very careful to retain
all quirks.
But of course this needs a lot of testing on old systems. On newer
64bit capable systems I don't expect much problems because they have been
already tested with the 64bit kernel.
I made this a CONFIG for now that still allows to select the old
machine check code. This is mostly to make testing easier,
if someone runs into a problem we can ask them to try
with the CONFIG switched.
The new code is default y for more coverage.
Once there is confidence the 64bit code works well on older hardware
too the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE and the associated code can be easily
removed.
This causes a behaviour change for 32bit installations. They now
have to install the mcelog package to be able to log
corrected machine checks.
The 64bit machine check code only handles CPUs which support the
standard Intel machine check architecture described in the IA32 SDM.
The 32bit code has special support for some older CPUs which
have non standard machine check architectures, in particular
WinChip C3 and Intel P5. I made those a separate CONFIG option
and kept them for now. The WinChip variant could be probably
removed without too much pain, it doesn't really do anything
interesting. P5 is also disabled by default (like it
was before) because many motherboards have it miswired, but
according to Alan Cox a few embedded setups use that one.

Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.
It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:
| commit 8efcbab674
| Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700
|
| paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).
If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).
Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:
nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin
CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18%
instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15%
CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03%
cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28%
cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56%
cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31%
branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04%
branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72%
branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67%
wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20%
The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.
(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)
So, what's the fix?
Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax

One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.
The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

Handle the misconfiguration where CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is
incompatible with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN. This is a configuration
error, but one which arises easily since Kconfig doesn't have the

Hence, align __PHYSICAL_START the same way we align LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR

Ed found that on 32-bit, boot_cpu_physical_apicid is not read right,
when the mptable is broken.
Interestingly, actually three paths use/set it:
1. acpi: at that time that is already read from reg
2. mptable: only read from mptable
3. no madt, and no mptable, that use default apic id 0 for 64-bit, -1 for 32-bit
so we could read the apic id for the 2/3 path. We trust the hardware
register more than we trust a BIOS data structure (the mptable).
We can also avoid the double set_fixmap() when acpi_lapic
is used, and also need to move cpu_has_apic earlier and
call apic_disable().
Also when need to update the apic id, we'd better read and
set the apic version as well - so that quirks are applied precisely.
v2: make path 3 with 64bit, use -1 as apic id, so could read it later.

In general, there is no need for any additional sync. mechanism in
arch-specific parts (the patch removes existing spinlocks).

A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.
Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.
Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it
to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention,
memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still
force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary.
Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to
the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear
memory the kernel will require during initialization.

The patch adds kernel parameter intel_iommu=pt to set up pass through
mode in context mapping entry. This disables DMAR in linux kernel; but
KVM still runs on VT-d and interrupt remapping still works.
In this mode, kernel uses swiotlb for DMA API functions but other VT-d
functionalities are enabled for KVM. KVM always uses multi level
translation page table in VT-d. By default, pass though mode is disabled
in kernel.
This is useful when people don't want to enable VT-d DMAR in kernel but
still want to use KVM and interrupt remapping for reasons like DMAR

When interrupt-remapping is enabled, we are relying on
setup_IO_APIC_irqs() to configure remapped entries in the
IO-APIC, which comes little bit later after enabling
interrupt-remapping.
Meanwhile, restoration of old io-apic entries after enabling
interrupt-remapping will not make the interrupts through
io-apic functional anyway.
So remove the unnecessary reinit_intr_remapped_IO_APIC() step.
The longer story:
When interrupt-remapping is enabled, IO-APIC entries need to be
setup in the re-mappable format (pointing to
interrupt-remapping table entries setup by the OS). This
remapping configuration is happening in the same place where we
traditionally configure IO-APIC (i.e., in
setup_IO_APIC_irqs()).
So when we enable interrupt-remapping successfully, there is no
need to restore old io-apic RTE entries before we actually do a
complete configuration shortly in setup_IO_APIC_irqs(). Old
IO-APIC RTE's may be in traditional format (non re-mappable) or
in re-mappable format pointing to interrupt-remapping table
entries setup by BIOS. Restoring both of these will not make
IO-APIC functional. We have to rely on setup_IO_APIC_irqs() for
proper configuration by OS.
So I am removing this unnecessary and broken step.

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Shouldn't call ack_apic_edge() in ir_ack_apic_edge(), because
ack_apic_edge() does more than just ack: it also does irq migration
in the non-interrupt-remapping case. But there is no such need for
interrupt-remapping case, as irq migration is done in the process

Similarly, ir_ack_apic_level() shouldn't call ack_apic_level, and
instead should do the local cpu's EOI + directed EOI to the io-apic.
ack_x2APIC_irq() is not neccessary, because ack_APIC_irq() will use MSR
