44408ad736 xen: use header for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
mmu.c needs to #include module.h to prevent these warnings:

 arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:239: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
 arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:239: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL'
 arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:239: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration

a789ed5fb6 xen: cache cr0 value to avoid trap'n'emulate for read_cr0
stts() is implemented in terms of read_cr0/write_cr0 to update the
state of the TS bit.  This happens during context switch, and so
is fairly performance critical.  Rather than falling back to
a trap-and-emulate native read_cr0, implement our own by caching
the last-written value from write_cr0 (the TS bit is the only one
we really care about).

b80119bb35 xen/x86-64: clean up warnings about IST-using traps
Ignore known IST-using traps.  Aside from the debugger traps, they're
low-level faults which Xen will handle for us, so the kernel needn't
worry about them.  Keep warning in case unknown trap starts using IST.

6cac5a9246 xen/x86-64: fix breakpoints and hardware watchpoints
Native x86-64 uses the IST mechanism to run int3 and debug traps on
an alternative stack.  Xen does not do this, and so the frames were
being misinterpreted by the ptrace code.  This change special-cases
these two exceptions by using Xen variants which run on the normal
kernel stack properly.

Impact: avoid crash or bad data when IST trap is invoked under Xen

33df4db04a x86: xen, i386: reserve Xen pagetables
The Xen pagetables are no longer implicitly reserved as part of the other
i386_start_kernel reservations, so make sure we explicitly reserve them.
This prevents them from being released into the general kernel free page

Xen leaves XSAVE set in cpuid, but doesn't allow cr4.OSXSAVE

an xsetbv instruction.

At boot time, try to set cr4.OSXSAVE, and mask XSAVE out of
cpuid it we can't.  This will produce a spurious error from Xen,
but allows us to support XSAVE if/when Xen does.

93dbda7cbc x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocations
Impact: new interface

Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations.  This is better than
using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
get used.

The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
something into it.

The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
(__brk_base to __brk_limit).  The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
up to __bss_stop.

Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
kernel memory pool.

Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
with a big kernel image and no PSE support).  So long as the system
has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

9976b39b50 xen: deal with virtually mapped percpu data
The virtually mapped percpu space causes us two problems:

 - for hypercalls which take an mfn, we need to do a full pagetable
   walk to convert the percpu va into an mfn, and

 - when a hypercall requires a page to be mapped RO via all its aliases,
   we need to make sure its RO in both the percpu mapping and in the
   linear mapping

This primarily affects the gdt and the vcpu info structure.

965c7ecaf2 x86: remove the Voyager 32-bit subarch
Impact: remove unused/broken code

The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.

No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.

In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
build problems already known, needs serious and significant
changes and probably a rewrite to support it.

CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.

While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
fashion.

So remove this inactive code for now.

ccbeed3a05 x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32
Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
        overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit

On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily.  pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.

* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.

* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
  LAZY_GS.  Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
  even when LAZY_GS.  However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
  and simplifies entry path with error code.

* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
  lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS.  The
  lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.

* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.

xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

5393744b71 xen: make direct versions of irq_enable/disable/save/restore to common code
Now that x86-64 has directly accessible percpu variables, it can also
implement the direct versions of these operations, which operate on a
vcpu_info structure directly embedded in the percpu area.

In fact, the 64-bit versions are more or less identical, and so can be
shared.  The only two differences are:
 1. xen_restore_fl_direct takes its argument in eax on 32-bit, and rdi on 64-bit.
    Unfortunately it isn't possible to directly refer to the 2nd lsb of rdi directly
    (as you can with %ah), so the code isn't quite as dense.
 2. check_events needs to variants to save different registers.

xen_mc_batch has a small preempt race where it takes the address of a

the flags in the wrong percpu variable.  Disable interrupts before

ecb93d1ccd x86/paravirt: add register-saving thunks to reduce caller register pressure
Impact: Optimization

One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
use those registers without restriction.  This includes the function
argument registers, and several others.

This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
be conventional compiler-generated code.  In many cases (particularly
performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
and need not use the compiler's calling convention.

Standard calling convention is:
	 arguments	    return	scratch
x86-32	 eax edx ecx	    eax		?
x86-64	 rdi rsi rdx rcx    rax		r8 r9 r10 r11

The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers.  The return
register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).

Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.

The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first.  This is
particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.

XXX Deal with VMI.  What's their calling convention?

6dbde35308 percpu: add optimized generic percpu accessors
It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new
generic percpu methods:

  percpu_read()
  percpu_write()
  percpu_add()
  percpu_sub()
  percpu_and()
  percpu_or()
  percpu_xor()

and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall
back to a default implementation)

The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable,
instead of this sequence:

 return __get_cpu_var(var);

 ffffffff8102ca2b:	48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 	mov    -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx
 ffffffff8102ca32:	81
 ffffffff8102ca33:	48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 	mov    $0x59d8,%rax
 ffffffff8102ca3a:	48 8b 04 10          	mov    (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax

We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants:

 return percpu_read(var);

 ffffffff8102ca3f:	65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd 	mov    %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax

I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use
these new generic percpu primitives.

    * added percpu_and() for completeness's sake

1a51e3a0ae x86: fold pda into percpu area on SMP
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately.  %gs points
to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset.
This patch folds pda into percpu area.

Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of
the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40.  To achieve
this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is
added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu
area.

After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the
data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to
point to the actual pda.  This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need
to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0
already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas().

This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call
sites.

A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

4595f9620c x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask
Impact: reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API.

This is made a little more tricky by uv_flush_tlb_others which
actually alters its argument, for an IPI to be sent to the remaining
cpus in the mask.

I solve this by allocating a cpumask_var_t for this case and falling back
to IPI should this fail.

To eliminate temporaries in the caller, all flush_tlb_others implementations
now do the this-cpu-elimination step themselves.

Note also the curious "cpus_or(f->flush_cpumask, cpumask, f->flush_cpumask)"
which has been there since pre-git and yet f->flush_cpumask is always zero
at this point.

79741dd357 [PATCH] idle cputime accounting
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.

In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.

This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

e4d98207ea x86: xen: use smp_call_function_many()
Impact: use new API, remove cpumask from stack.

Change smp_call_function_mask() callers to smp_call_function_many().

This removes a cpumask from the stack, and falls back should allocating
the cpumask var fail (only possible with CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK).

e7986739a7 x86 smp: modify send_IPI_mask interface to accept cpumask_t pointers
Impact: cleanup, change parameter passing

  * Change genapic interfaces to accept cpumask_t pointers where possible.

  * Modify external callers to use cpumask_t pointers in function calls.

  * Create new send_IPI_mask_allbutself which is the same as the
    send_IPI_mask functions but removes smp_processor_id() from list.
    This removes another common need for a temporary cpumask_t variable.

  * Functions that used a temp cpumask_t variable for:

	cpumask_t allbutme = cpu_online_map;

	cpu_clear(smp_processor_id(), allbutme);
	if (!cpus_empty(allbutme))
		...

    become:

	if (!cpus_equal(cpu_online_map, cpumask_of_cpu(cpu)))
		...

  * Other minor code optimizations (like using cpus_clear instead of
    CPU_MASK_NONE, etc.)

Applies to linux-2.6.tip/master.
