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.

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],|                           /-----------------\

a7e3ed1e47 perf: Add support for supplementary event registers
Change logs against Andi's original version:

- Extends perf_event_attr:config to config{,1,2} (Peter Zijlstra)
- Fixed a major event scheduling issue. There cannot be a ref++ on an
  event that has already done ref++ once and without calling
  put_constraint() in between. (Stephane Eranian)
- Use thread_cpumask for percore allocation. (Lin Ming)
- Use MSR names in the extra reg lists. (Lin Ming)
- Remove redundant "c = NULL" in intel_percore_constraints
- Fix comment of perf_event_attr::config1

Intel Nehalem/Westmere have a special OFFCORE_RESPONSE event
that can be used to monitor any offcore accesses from a core.
This is a very useful event for various tunings, and it's
also needed to implement the generic LLC-* events correctly.

Unfortunately this event requires programming a mask in a separate
register. And worse this separate register is per core, not per
CPU thread.

This patch:

- Teaches perf_events that OFFCORE_RESPONSE needs extra parameters.
  The extra parameters are passed by user space in the
  perf_event_attr::config1 field.

- Adds support to the Intel perf_event core to schedule per
  core resources. This adds fairly generic infrastructure that
  can be also used for other per core resources.
  The basic code has is patterned after the similar AMD northbridge
  constraints code.

Thanks to Stephane Eranian who pointed out some problems
in the original version and suggested improvements.

f891125028 x86-64, NUMA: Revert NUMA affine page table allocation
This patch reverts NUMA affine page table allocation added by commit
1411e0ec31 (x86-64, numa: Put pgtable to local node memory).

The commit made an undocumented change where the kernel linear mapping
strictly follows intersection of e820 memory map and NUMA
configuration.  If the physical memory configuration has holes or NUMA
nodes are not properly aligned, this leads to using unnecessarily
smaller mapping size which leads to increased TLB pressure.  For
details,

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1104672

Patches to fix the problem have been proposed but the underlying code
needs more cleanup and the approach itself seems a bit heavy handed
and it has been determined to revert the feature for now and come back
to it in the next developement cycle.

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1105959

As init_memory_mapping_high() callsites have been consolidated since
the commit, reverting is done manually.  Also, the RED-PEN comment in
arch/x86/mm/init.c is not restored as the problem no longer exists
with memblock based top-down early memory allocation.

With this patch, we diligently set regions that will be used by the
balloon driver to be INVALID_P2M_ENTRY and under the ownership
of the balloon driver. We are OK using the __set_phys_to_machine
as we do not expect to be allocating any P2M middle or entries pages.
The set_phys_to_machine has the side-effect of potentially allocating
new pages and we do not want that at this stage.

We can do this because xen_build_mfn_list_list will have already
allocated all such pages up to xen_max_p2m_pfn.

We also move the check for auto translated physmap down the
stack so it is present in __set_phys_to_machine.

host, but the only user of this code until now is ce4100 which
requires apics to be available. So we leave this up to those who need
it.

7f74f8f28a x86 quirk: Fix polarity for IRQ0 pin2 override on SB800 systems
On some SB800 systems polarity for IOAPIC pin2 is wrongly
specified as low active by BIOS. This caused system hangs after
resume from S3 when HPET was used in one-shot mode on such
systems because a timer interrupt was missed (HPET signal is
high active).

d1b19426b0 x86: Rename e820_table_* to pgt_buf_*
e820_table_{start|end|top}, which are used to buffer page table
allocation during early boot, are now derived from memblock and don't
have much to do with e820.  Change the names so that they reflect what
they're used for.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

-v2: Ingo found that earlier patch "x86: Use early pre-allocated page
     table buffer top-down" caused crash on 32bit and needed to be
     dropped.  This patch was updated to reflect the change.

-tj: Updated commit description.
