5dc64a3442 xen: do not reserve 2 pages of padding between hypervisor and fixmap.
When reserving space for the hypervisor the Xen paravirt backend adds
an extra two pages (this was carried forward from the 2.6.18-xen tree
which had them "for safety"). Depending on various CONFIG options this
can cause the boot time fixmaps to span multiple PMDs which is not
supported and triggers a WARN in early_ioremap_init().

This was exposed by 2216d199b1 which
moved the dmi table parsing earlier.
    x86: fix CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=y

    The bad_bios_dmi_table() quirk never triggered because we do DMI setup
    too late. Move it a bit earlier.

There is no real reason to reserve these two extra pages and the
fixmap already incorporates FIX_HOLE which serves the same
purpose. None of the other callers of reserve_top_address do this.

eefb47f6a1 xen: use spin_lock_nest_lock when pinning a pagetable
When pinning/unpinning a pagetable with split pte locks, we can end up
holding multiple pte locks at once (we need to hold the locks while
there's a pending batched hypercall affecting the pte page).  Because
all the pte locks are in the same lock class, lockdep thinks that
we're potentially taking a lock recursively.

This warning is spurious because we always take the pte locks while
holding mm->page_table_lock.  lockdep now has spin_lock_nest_lock to
express this kind of dominant lock use, so use it here so that lockdep
knows what's going on.

db053b86f4 xen: clean up x86-64 warnings
There are a couple of Xen features which rely on directly accessing
per-cpu data via a segment register, which is not yet available on
x86-64.  In the meantime, just disable direct access to the vcpu info
structure; this leaves some of the code as dead, but it will come to
life in time, and the warnings are suppressed.

d68d82afd4 xen: implement CPU hotplugging
Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging:

A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the
CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing
its entry in /sys.

A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does
not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be
caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available,
or implement a more complex policy.

f86399396c x86, paravirt_ops: use unsigned long instead of u32 for alloc_p*() pfn args
This patch changes the pfn args from 'u32' to 'unsigned long'
on alloc_p*() functions on paravirt_ops, and the corresponding
implementations for Xen and VMI. The prototypes for CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n
are already using unsigned long, so paravirt.h now matches the prototypes
on asm-x86/pgalloc.h.

It shouldn't result in any changes on generated code on 32-bit, with
or without CONFIG_PARAVIRT. On both cases, 'codiff -f' didn't show any
change after applying this patch.

On 64-bit, there are (expected) binary changes only when CONFIG_PARAVIRT
is enabled, as the patch is really supposed to change the size of the
pfn args.

168d2f464a xen: save previous spinlock when blocking
A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve
the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an
interrupt handler.

We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets
interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually
blocking.  If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where
the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block
indefinitely in the hypervisor.  This fix is to make sure that any
nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any
chance the outer lock became free.

169ad16bb8 xen_alloc_ptpage: cast PFN_PHYS() argument to unsigned long
Currently paravirt_ops alloc_p*() uses u32 for the pfn args. We should
change that later, but while the pfn parameter is still u32, we need to
cast the PFN_PHYS() argument at xen_alloc_ptpage() to unsigned long,
otherwise it will lose bits on the shift.

I think PFN_PHYS() should behave better when fed with smaller integers,
but a cast to unsigned long won't be enough for all cases on 32-bit PAE,
and a cast to u64 would be overkill for most users of PFN_PHYS().

We could have two different flavors of PFN_PHYS: one for low pages
only (unsigned long) and another that works for any page (u64)),
but while we don't have it, we will need the cast to unsigned long on
xen_alloc_ptpage().

59438c9fc4 x86: rename PTE_MASK to PTE_PFN_MASK
Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants

purpose of the constant.

Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually
being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely
different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the
problem is.

But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have
achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

95c7c23b06 xen: report hypervisor version
Various versions of the hypervisor have differences in what ABIs and
features they support.  Print some details into the boot log to help
with remote debugging.

593f4a788e x86: APIC: remove apic_write_around(); use alternatives
Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time.  Remove the
X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum.  Remove
apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends.  The use of
ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
used it for readability's sake.

I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
and here it is.  Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
"feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
have disregarded it.

I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
have left changes to them out.  The option will get removed from them at
the next run.

Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
everywhere.

93a0886e23 x86, xen, power: fix up config dependencies on PM
Xen save/restore needs bits of code enabled by PM_SLEEP, and PM_SLEEP
depends on PM.  So make XEN_SAVE_RESTORE depend on PM and PM_SLEEP
depend on XEN_SAVE_RESTORE.

2d9e1e2f58 xen: implement Xen-specific spinlocks
The standard ticket spinlocks are very expensive in a virtual
environment, because their performance depends on Xen's scheduler
giving vcpus time in the order that they're supposed to take the
spinlock.

This implements a Xen-specific spinlock, which should be much more
efficient.

The fast-path is essentially the old Linux-x86 locks, using a single
lock byte.  The locker decrements the byte; if the result is 0, then
they have the lock.  If the lock is negative, then locker must spin
until the lock is positive again.

When there's contention, the locker spin for 2^16[*] iterations waiting
to get the lock.  If it fails to get the lock in that time, it adds
itself to the contention count in the lock and blocks on a per-cpu
event channel.

When unlocking the spinlock, the locker looks to see if there's anyone
blocked waiting for the lock by checking for a non-zero waiter count.
If there's a waiter, it traverses the per-cpu "lock_spinners"
variable, which contains which lock each CPU is waiting on.  It picks
one CPU waiting on the lock and sends it an event to wake it up.

This allows efficient fast-path spinlock operation, while allowing
spinning vcpus to give up their processor time while waiting for a
contended lock.

[*] 2^16 iterations is threshold at which 98% locks have been taken
according to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from
Spinning Around".  Therefore, we'd expect the lock and unlock slow
paths will only be entered 2% of the time.
