 "which has three neat features:

   - PV multiconsole support, so that there can be hvc1, hvc2, etc; This
     can be used in HVM and in PV mode.

   - P-state and C-state power management driver that uploads said power
     management data to the hypervisor.  It also inhibits cpufreq
     scaling drivers to load so that only the hypervisor can make power
     management decisions - fixing a weird perf bug.

     There is one thing in the Kconfig that you won't like: "default y
     if (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ = y || X86_POWERNOW_K8 = y)" (note, that it
     all depends on CONFIG_XEN which depends on CONFIG_PARAVIRT which by
     default is off).  I've a fix to convert that boolean expression
     into "default m" which I am going to post after the cpufreq git
     pull - as the two patches to make this work depend on a fix in Dave
     Jones's tree.

   - Function Level Reset (FLR) support in the Xen PCI backend.

   - Kconfig dependencies for Xen PV keyboard and video

73c154c60b xen/enlighten: Expose MWAIT and MWAIT_LEAF if hypervisor OKs it.
For the hypervisor to take advantage of the MWAIT support it needs
to extract from the ACPI _CST the register address. But the
hypervisor does not have the support to parse DSDT so it relies on
the initial domain (dom0) to parse the ACPI Power Management information
and push it up to the hypervisor. The pushing of the data is done
by the processor_harveset_xen module which parses the information that
the ACPI parser has graciously exposed in 'struct acpi_processor'.

For the ACPI parser to also expose the Cx states for MWAIT, we need
to expose the MWAIT capability (leaf 1). Furthermore we also need to
expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability (leaf 5) for cstate.c to properly
function.

The hypervisor could expose these flags when it traps the XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX
operations, but it can't do it since it needs to be backwards compatible.
Instead we choose to use the native CPUID to figure out if the MWAIT
capability exists and use the XEN_SET_PDC query hypercall to figure out
if the hypervisor wants us to expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability or not.

Note: The XEN_SET_PDC query was implemented in c/s 23783:
"ACPI: add _PDC input override mechanism".

With this in place, instead of
 C3 ACPI IOPORT 415
we get now
 C3:ACPI FFH INTEL MWAIT 0x20

Note: The cpu_idle which would be calling the mwait variants for idling
never gets set b/c we set the default pm_idle to be the hypercall variant.

cc7335b2f6 xen/setup/pm/acpi: Remove the call to boot_option_idle_override.
We needed that call in the past to force the kernel to use
default_idle (which called safe_halt, which called xen_safe_halt).

But set_pm_idle_to_default() does now that, so there is no need
to use this boot option operand.

8eaffa67b4 xen/pat: Disable PAT support for now.
[Pls also look at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/10/228]

Using of PAT to change pages from WB to WC works quite nicely.
Changing it back to WB - not so much. The crux of the matter is
that the code that does this (__page_change_att_set_clr) has only
limited information so when it tries to the change it gets
the "raw" unfiltered information instead of the properly filtered one -
and the "raw" one tell it that PSE bit is on (while infact it
is not).  As a result when the PTE is set to be WB from WC, we get
tons of:

for every page. The proper fix for this is has been posted
and is https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/10/228
"x86/cpa: Use pte_attrs instead of pte_flags on CPA/set_p.._wb/wc operations."
along with a detailed description of the problem and solution.

But since that posting has gone nowhere I am proposing
this band-aid solution so that at least users don't get
the page corruption (the pages that are WC don't get changed to WB
and end up being recycled for filesystem or other things causing
mysterious crashes).

The negative impact of this patch is that users of WC flag
(which are InfiniBand, radeon, nouveau drivers) won't be able
to set that flag - so they are going to see performance degradation.
But stability is more important here.

commit 7347b4082e "xen: Allow

The reason for this should be obvious from this call-chain:
cpu_bringup_and_idle:
 \- cpu_bringup
  |   \-[preempt_disable]
  |
  |- cpu_idle
       \- play_dead [assuming the user offlined the VCPU]
       |     \
       |     +- (xen_play_dead)
       |          \- HYPERVISOR_VCPU_off [so VCPU is dead, once user
       |          |                       onlines it starts from here]
       |          \- cpu_bringup [preempt_disable]
       |
       +- preempt_enable_no_reschedule()
       +- schedule()
       \- preempt_enable()

So we have two preempt_disble() and one preempt_enable(). Calling
preempt_enable() after the cpu_bringup() in the xen_play_dead
fixes the imbalance.

2113f46916 xen: use this_cpu_xxx replace percpu_xxx funcs
percpu_xxx funcs are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx funcs, so replace them
for further code clean up.

I don't know much of xen code. But, since the code is in x86 architecture,
the percpu_xxx is exactly same as this_cpu_xxx serials functions. So, the
change is safe.

7a7546b377 x86: xen: size struct xen_spinlock to always fit in arch_spinlock_t
If NR_CPUS < 256 then arch_spinlock_t is only 16 bits wide but struct
xen_spinlock is 32 bits.  When a spin lock is contended and
xl->spinners is modified the two bytes immediately after the spin lock
would be corrupted.

This is a regression caused by 84eb950db1
(x86, ticketlock: Clean up types and accessors) which reduced the size
of arch_spinlock_t.

Fix this by making xl->spinners a u8 if NR_CPUS < 256.  A
BUILD_BUG_ON() is also added to check the sizes of the two structures
are compatible.

In many cases this was not noticable as there would often be padding
bytes after the lock (e.g., if any of CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, or CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC were enabled).

The bnx2 driver is affected. In struct bnx2, phy_lock and
indirect_lock may have no padding after them.  Contention on phy_lock
would corrupt indirect_lock making it appear locked and the driver
would deadlock.

d3db728125 xen: only limit memory map to maximum reservation for domain 0.
d312ae878b "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM"
clamped the total amount of RAM to the current maximum reservation. This is
correct for dom0 but is not correct for guest domains. In order to boot a guest
"pre-ballooned" (e.g. with memory=1G but maxmem=2G) in order to allow for
future memory expansion the guest must derive max_pfn from the e820 provided by
the toolstack and not the current maximum reservation (which can reflect only
the current maximum, not the guest lifetime max). The existing algorithm
already behaves this correctly if we do not artificially limit the maximum
number of pages for the guest case.

For a guest booted with maxmem=512, memory=128 this results in:

fe091c208a memblock: Kill memblock_init()
memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself;
however, all these can be done with struct initializers and
memblock_init() can be removed.  This patch kills memblock_init() and
initializes memblock with struct initializer.

The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid
set to MAX_NUMNODES initially.  This doesn't cause any behavior
difference.

e5fd47bfab xen/pm_idle: Make pm_idle be default_idle under Xen.
The idea behind commit d91ee5863b ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86
pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle()
which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code.  It disallows
cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent).

But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still
be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle.  This
depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU.

In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor
(Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get:

  Brought up 2 CPUs
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

  Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 #1
  RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81015d1d>]  [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4

  RIP  [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4
   RSP <ffff8801d28ddf10>

In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we
do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then
follow it up with a yield hypercall.  Meaning we end up going to
hypervisor twice instead of just once.

The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to
default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup.

We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen.  This patch
does that.

85ff6acb07 xen/granttable: Grant tables V2 implementation
Receiver-side copying of packets is based on this implementation, it gives
better performance and better CPU accounting. It totally supports three types:
full-page, sub-page and transitive grants.

However this patch does not cover sub-page and transitive grants, it mainly
focus on Full-page part and implements grant table V2 interfaces corresponding
to what already exists in grant table V1, such as: grant table V2
initialization, mapping, releasing and exported interfaces.

Each guest can only supports one type of grant table type, every entry in grant
table should be the same version. It is necessary to set V1 or V2 version before
initializing the grant table.

Grant table exported interfaces of V2 are same with those of V1, Xen is
responsible to judge what grant table version guests are using in every grant
operation.

V2 fulfills the same role of V1, and it is totally backwards compitable with V1.
If dom0 support grant table V2, the guests runing on it can run with either V1
or V2.

responsible to do corresponding work for grant operations, such as: figure
out guest's grant table version, perform different actions based on
different grant table version, etc. Although full-page structure of V2
is different from V1, it play the same role as V1.

f3f436e33b xen: release all pages within 1-1 p2m mappings
In xen_memory_setup() all reserved regions and gaps are set to an
identity (1-1) p2m mapping.  If an available page has a PFN within one
of these 1-1 mappings it will become inaccessible (as it MFN is lost)
so release them before setting up the mapping.

This can make an additional 256 MiB or more of RAM available
(depending on the size of the reserved regions in the memory map) if
the initial pages overlap with reserved regions.

The 1:1 p2m mappings are also extended to cover partial pages.  This
fixes an issue with (for example) systems with a BIOS that puts the
DMI tables in a reserved region that begins on a non-page boundary.

dc91c728fd xen: allow extra memory to be in multiple regions
Allow the extra memory (used by the balloon driver) to be in multiple
regions (typically two regions, one for low memory and one for high
memory).  This allows the balloon driver to increase the number of
available low pages (if the initial number if pages is small).

As a side effect, the algorithm for building the e820 memory map is
simpler and more obviously correct as the map supplied by the
hypervisor is (almost) used as is (in particular, all reserved regions
and gaps are preserved).  Only RAM regions are altered and RAM regions
above max_pfn + extra_pages are marked as unused (the region is split
in two if necessary).

8b5d44a5ac xen: allow balloon driver to use more than one memory region
Allow the xen balloon driver to populate its list of extra pages from
more than one region of memory.  This will allow platforms to provide
(for example) a region of low memory and a region of high memory.

The maximum possible number of extra regions is 128 (== E820MAX) which
is quite large so xen_extra_mem is placed in __initdata.  This is safe
as both xen_memory_setup() and balloon_init() are in __init.

The balloon regions themselves are not altered (i.e., there is still
only the one region).

aa24411b67 xen/balloon: account for pages released during memory setup
In xen_memory_setup() pages that occur in gaps in the memory map are
released back to Xen.  This reduces the domain's current page count in
the hypervisor.  The Xen balloon driver does not correctly decrease
its initial current_pages count to reflect this.  If 'delta' pages are
released and the target is adjusted the resulting reservation is
always 'delta' less than the requested target.

This affects dom0 if the initial allocation of pages overlaps the PCI
memory region but won't affect most domU guests that have been setup
with pseudo-physical memory maps that don't have gaps.

Fix this by accouting for the released pages when starting the balloon
driver.

If the domain's targets are managed by xapi, the domain may eventually
run out of memory and die because xapi currently gets its target
calculations wrong and whenever it is restarted it always reduces the
target by 'delta'.

0930bba674 xen: modify kernel mappings corresponding to granted pages
If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user
vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the
kernel mappings accordingly.
Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages
through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the
kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping.
However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't
start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage.

In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated
the pages lowmem.
We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in
m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another
HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override.
Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called
once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching.

Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is
guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done.
Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the
mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be
set correctly.

reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff
(XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e
(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:
...

The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the
'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed).
The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages'
using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem
has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with
MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation:

    return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES);

and use it:

     extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages();
     if (extra_limit >= max_pfn)
             extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn;
     else
             extra_pages = 0;

which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432)
- 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller),
and then we add that value to the E820 making it:

  Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
  Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable)

which is clearly wrong. It should look as so:

  Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
  Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000027fbda000 (usable)

Naturally this problem does not present itself if dom0_mem=max:X
is used.

f10cd522c5 xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM
PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are
enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV
spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we
cannot switch between them dynamically. A spinlock that has been taken
once by the native code (__ticket_spin_lock) cannot be taken by
__xen_spin_lock even after it has been released.

ed467e69f1 xen/smp: Warn user why they keel over - nosmp or noapic and what to use instead.
We have hit a couple of customer bugs where they would like to
use those parameters to run an UP kernel - but both of those
options turn of important sources of interrupt information so
we end up not being able to boot. The correct way is to
pass in 'dom0_max_vcpus=1' on the Xen hypervisor line and
the kernel will patch itself to be a UP kernel.
