on 64-bit x86 the physical memory limit is controlled by the sparsemem
bits - which are 44 bits right now. But MAXMEM (the max pfn number
e820 parsing will allow to enter our sizing routines) is set to
0x00003fffffffffff, i.e. 46 bits - that's too large because it overlaps
into the vmalloc range.
So couple MAXMEM to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, and add a comment that the
maximum of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is 45 bits.

Impact: cleanup, code robustization
The __swp_...() macros silently relied upon which bits are used for
_PAGE_FILE and _PAGE_PROTNONE. After having changed _PAGE_PROTNONE in
our Xen kernel to no longer overlap _PAGE_PAT, live locks and crashes
were reported that could have been avoided if these macros properly
used the symbolic constants. Since, as pointed out earlier, for Xen
Dom0 support mainline likewise will need to eliminate the conflict
between _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PROTNONE, this patch does all the necessary
adjustments, plus it introduces a mechanism to check consistency
between MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT and the actual encoding macros.
This also fixes a latent bug in that x86-64 used a 6-bit mask in
__swp_type(), and if MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT was increased beyond 5 in (the
seemingly unrelated) linux/swap.h, this would have resulted in a
collision with _PAGE_FILE.
Non-PAE 32-bit code gets similarly adjusted for its pte_to_pgoff() and
pgoff_to_pte() calculations.

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.
This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

Impact: sanitize MSI irq number ordering from top-down to bottom-up
Increase new MSI IRQs starting from nr_irqs_gsi (which is somewhere below
256), instead of decreasing from NR_IRQS. (The latter method can result
in confusingly high IRQ numbers - if NR_CPUS is set to a high value and
NR_IRQS scales up to a high value.)

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Impact: new feature
Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.
To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.
When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).
This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

Impact: fix trampoline sizing bug, save space

by making the kernel compute the trampoline size and allocate as much

Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely
Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.
So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.
Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork
I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

Introduce a new accept4() system call. The addition of this system call
matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
argument that can be used to access additional functionality.
The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that
it adds a flags bit-mask argument. Two flags are initially implemented.
(Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)
SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled
for the new file descriptor returned by accept4(). This is a useful
security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded
program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as
another thread is doing a fork() plus exec(). More details here:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling",
Ulrich Drepper).
The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag
to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4().
(This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls
fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result.
Here's a test program. Works on x86-32. Should work on x86-64, but
I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with.
It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies
that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().
I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.

Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
"20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
/debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
right.
As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.
update_wall_time+0x37f/0x8c0 -> update_xtime_cache (345 ns) (Overruns: 2838)
update_wall_time+0x384/0x8c0 -> clocksource_get_next (1141 ns) (Overruns: 2838)

Impact: fix secondary-CPU wakeup/init path with numaq and es7000
While looking at wakeup_secondary_cpu for WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI:
|#ifdef WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI
|/*
| * Poke the other CPU in the eye via NMI to wake it up. Remember that the normal
| * INIT, INIT, STARTUP sequence will reset the chip hard for us, and this
| * won't ... remember to clear down the APIC, etc later.
| */
|static int __devinit
|wakeup_secondary_cpu(int logical_apicid, unsigned long start_eip)
|{
| unsigned long send_status, accept_status = 0;
| int maxlvt;
|...
| if (APIC_INTEGRATED(apic_version[phys_apicid])) {
| maxlvt = lapic_get_maxlvt();
I noticed that there is no warning about undefined phys_apicid...
because WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI and WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_INIT can not be
defined at the same time. So NUMAQ is using wrong wakeup_secondary_cpu.
WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI, WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_INIT and
WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_MIP are variants of a weird and fragile
preprocessor-driven "HAL" mechanisms to specify the kind of secondary-CPU
wakeup strategy a given x86 kernel will use.
The vast majority of systems want to use INIT for secondary wakeup - NUMAQ
uses an NMI, (old-style-) ES7000 uses 'MIP' (a firmware driven in-memory
flag to let secondaries continue).
So convert these mechanisms to x86_quirks and add a
->wakeup_secondary_cpu() method to specify the rare exception
to the sane default.
Extend genapic accordingly as well, for 32-bit.
While looking further, I noticed that functions in wakecup.h for numaq
and es7000 are different to the default in mach_wakecpu.h - but smpboot.c
will only use default mach_wakecpu.h with smphook.h.
So we need to add mach_wakecpu.h for mach_generic, to properly support
numaq and es7000, and vectorize the following SMP init methods:
int trampoline_phys_low;
int trampoline_phys_high;
void (*wait_for_init_deassert)(atomic_t *deassert);
void (*smp_callin_clear_local_apic)(void);
void (*store_NMI_vector)(unsigned short *high, unsigned short *low);

void (*inquire_remote_apic)(int apicid);

Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations
Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not
have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction
between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not
flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures
have.
Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance
that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module
load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the
larger jump into core kernel code.
The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks
all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what
it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying
module trampolines.
This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and
the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code:
ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into
a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the
module struct if called by module init)
ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should
be a nop into a caller to addr.
The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture
can add any special attributes to each call site record.

Impact: fix crash during hibernation on 32-bit NUMA
The NUMA code on x86_32 creates special memory mapping that allows
each node's pgdat to be located in this node's memory. For this
purpose it allocates a memory area at the end of each node's memory
and maps this area so that it is accessible with virtual addresses
belonging to low memory. As a result, if there is high memory,
these NUMA-allocated areas are physically located in high memory,
although they are mapped to low memory addresses.
Our hibernation code does not take that into account and for this
reason hibernation fails on all x86_32 systems with CONFIG_NUMA=y and
with high memory present. Fix this by adding a special mapping for
the NUMA-allocated memory areas to the temporary page tables created
during the last phase of resume.

This removes the acpi_irq_balance_set() interface from the PCI
interrupt link driver.
x86 used acpi_irq_balance_set() to tell the PCI interrupt link
driver to configure links to minimize IRQ sharing. But the link
driver can easily figure out whether to turn on IRQ balancing
based on the IRQ model (PIC/IOAPIC/etc), so we can get rid of
that external interface.
It's better for the driver to figure this out at init-time. If
we set it externally via the x86 code, the interface reduces
modularity, and we depend on the fact that acpi_process_madt()
happens before we process the kernel command line.

Method #1 or #2, as it falls inside the PCI configuration port range
in both cases. No chipset without PCI is known to have port CF9,
either, although an explicit "pci=bios" would mean we miss this and
therefore don't use port CF9. An explicit "reboot=pci" can be used to

Move the IRQ stub generation to assembly to simplify it and for
consistency with 32 bits. Doing it in a C file with asm() statements
doesn't help clarity, and it prevents some optimizations.
Shrink the IRQ stubs down to just over four bytes per (we fit seven
into a 32-byte chunk.) This shrinks the total icache consumption of
the IRQ stubs down to an even kilobyte, if all of them are in active
use.
The downside is that we end up with a double jump, which could have a
negative effect on some pipelines. The double jump is always inside
the same cacheline on any modern chips.
To get the most effect, cache-align the IRQ stubs.
This makes the 64-bit code match changes already done to the 32-bit
code, and should open up irqinit*.c for unification.

Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing
Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.
This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.
The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.
Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.
For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.

them in vget_cycles().

Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason

| "size=0k ovr=2.60
| 2 5.70
after:
| phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
| "size=0k ovr=2.65
| 2 2.07
a 2.75x speedup.

| phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test
| 18.26 usecs/loop.
| 14.70 usecs/loop.
| 14.38 usecs/loop.

| 8.59 usecs/loop.
| 9.03 usecs/loop.
| 8.94 usecs/loop.
| 8.96 usecs/loop.
| 8.63 usecs/loop.
Also:
- disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings)
- enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains

Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.
Use the synthetic TSC_RELIABLE bit to workaround virtualization anomalies.
Virtual TSCs can be kept nearly in sync, but because the virtual TSC
offset is set by software, it's not perfect. So, the TSC
synchronization test can fail. Even then the TSC can be used as a
clocksource since the VMware platform exports a reliable TSC to the
guest for timekeeping purposes. Use this bit to check if we need to
skip the TSC sync checks.
Along with this also set the CONSTANT_TSC bit when on VMware, since we
still want to use TSC as clocksource on VM running over hardware which
has unsynchronized TSC's (opteron's), since the hypervisor will take
care of providing consistent TSC to the guest.

v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request
behind a hypervisor.c file
v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure.
This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function.
This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware.
The current way to check if we are on VMware is following,
# check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000
cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature.
# if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string
if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are
under VMware.
The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products,
which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf.
Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor
port should never be accessed on native hardware.
This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of
calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized
environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from
the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware.
Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on
their platform.

Impact: fix crashes that can occur in NMI handlers, if their code is modified
Modifying code is something that needs special care. On SMP boxes,
if code that is being modified is also being executed on another CPU,
that CPU will have undefined results.
The dynamic ftrace uses kstop_machine to make the system act like a
uniprocessor system. But this does not address NMIs, that can still
run on other CPUs.
One approach to handle this is to make all code that are used by NMIs
not be traced. But NMIs can call notifiers that spread throughout the
kernel and this will be very hard to maintain, and the chance of missing
a function is very high.
The approach that this patch takes is to have the NMIs modify the code
if the modification is taking place. The way this works is that just
writing to code executing on another CPU is not harmful if what is
written is the same as what exists.
Two buffers are used: an IP buffer and a "code" buffer.
The steps that the patcher takes are:
1) Put in the instruction pointer into the IP buffer
and the new code into the "code" buffer.
2) Set a flag that says we are modifying code
3) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
4) Write the code
5) clear the flag.
6) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
If an NMI is executed, it will also write the pending code.
Multiple writes are OK, because what is being written is the same.
Then the patcher must wait for all running NMIs to finish before
going to the next line that must be patched.
This is basically the RCU approach to code modification.

Every call of kvm_set_irq() should offer an irq_source_id, which is
allocated by kvm_request_irq_source_id(). Based on irq_source_id, we
identify the irq source and implement logical OR for shared level
interrupts.
The allocated irq_source_id can be freed by kvm_free_irq_source_id().
Currently, we support at most sizeof(unsigned long) different irq sources.
[Amit: - rebase to kvm.git HEAD
- move definition of KVM_USERSPACE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID to common file
- move kvm_request_irq_source_id to the update_irq ioctl]
[Xiantao: - Add kvm/ia64 stuff and make it work for kvm/ia64 guests]

Impact: start per CPU heartbeat LED timers on SGI UV systems
The SGI UV system has no LEDS but uses one of the system controller
regs to indicate the online internal state of the cpu. There is a
heartbeat bit indicating that the cpu is responding to interrupts,
and an idle bit indicating whether the cpu is idle when the heartbeat
interrupt occurs. The current period is one second.
When a cpu panics, an error code is written by BIOS to this same reg.
This patchset provides the following:
* x86_64: Add base functionality for writing to the specific SCIR's
for each cpu.
* heartbeat: Invert "heartbeat" bit to indicate the cpu is
"interruptible". If the current thread is the idle thread,
then indicate system is "idle".
* if hotplug enabled, all bits are set (0xff) when the cpu is disabled.

This patch partially reverts a patch to add IOMMU support to ia64. The
forbid_dac variable was incorrectly moved to quirks.c, which isn't built
when PCI is disabled.

dma_alloc_coherent (include/asm-x86/dma-mapping.h) avoids GFP_DMA
allocation first and if the allocated address is not fit for the
device's coherent_dma_mask, then dma_alloc_coherent does GFP_DMA
allocation. This is because dma_alloc_coherent avoids precious GFP_DMA
zone if possible. This is also how the old dma_alloc_coherent
(arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c) works.
However, if the coherent_dma_mask of a device is 24bit, there is no
point to go into the above GFP_DMA retry mechanism. We had better use
GFP_DMA in the first place.
