This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In
addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient
manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single()
for calling a given function on a single CPU only.
The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of
changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has
contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well. Also thanks to
Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> for reviewing RCU usage
and getting rid of the data allocation fallback deadlock.

[IA64] Eliminate NULL test after alloc_bootmem in iosapic_alloc_rte()

As noted by Akinobu Mita alloc_bootmem and related functions never return
NULL and always return a zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or
memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary.

Call check_sal_cache_flush() after platform_setup() as
check_sal_cache_flush() now relies on being able to call platform

This patch updates the kvm host code to use the pvclock structs
and functions, thereby making it compatible with Xen.
The patch also fixes an initialization bug: on SMP systems the
per-cpu has two different locations early at boot and after CPU
bringup. kvmclock must take that in account when registering the
physical address within the host.

This patch adds structs for the paravirt clocksource ABI
used by both xen and kvm (pvclock-abi.h).
It also adds some helper functions to read system time and
wall clock time from a paravirtual clocksource (pvclock.[ch]).
They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK.
Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.

Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to
the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching
virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has
guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same
time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall.
Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr
switching during bootup.

KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses
them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access
pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables,
it also oopses.
This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the
pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood
heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One
particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering
the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply
remove it.

kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed
guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same
physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped.
Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level
updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes
emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault
handling path.

If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.
It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.
For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU
between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable().
If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on
the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until
a host interrupt is triggered.
Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending. This
has the side effect of nicely consolidating vcpu->requests checks.

Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is
rarely tested or used. xen-unstable has now officially dropped
non-PAE support. Since Xen/pvops' non-PAE support has also been
broken for a while, we may as well completely drop it altogether.

Which was removed in the hope that generic legacy IDE quirk in
drivers/pci/probe.c is sufficient for Cypress IDE.
It isn't, as this controller has non-standard BAR layout:
secondary channel registers are in the BAR0-1 of the second
PCI function - not in the BAR2-3 of the same function, as the
generic quirk routine assumes.

Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings
about static functions and objects being referenced from
non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction
with our -Werror.
We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline",
as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline"
logic is crucial for generic kernel build.
So
- just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline"
functions are also "extern inline";
- use "static inline", wherever it's possible.
traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array
bounds-checking.
TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline"
functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following
error:
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o:
defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4
versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3.
The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function
exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section
for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to
discarded section.
Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables.
Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem,
other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with
a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced
on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider
-fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

Booting 2.6.26-rc6 on my 486 DX/4 fails with a "BUG: Int 6"
(invalid opcode) and a kernel halt immediately after the
kernel has been uncompressed. The BUG shows EIP pointing
to an rdtsc instruction in native_read_tsc(), invoked from
native_sched_clock().
(This error occurs so early that not even the serial console
can capture it.)
A bisection showed that this bug first occurs in 2.6.26-rc3-git7,
via commit 9ccc906c97e34fd91dc6aaf5b69b52d824386910:
>x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable
>
>tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from
>the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace
>tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock()
>decision when to use TSC understandable.
>
>Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit.

>Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
The core reason for this bug is that native_sched_clock() gets
called before tsc_init().
Before the commit above, tsc_32.c used a "tsc_enabled" variable
which defaulted to 0 == disabled, and which only got enabled late
in tsc_init(). Thus early calls to native_sched_clock() would skip
the TSC and use jiffies instead.
After the commit above, tsc_32.c uses a "tsc_disabled" variable
which defaults to 0, meaning that the TSC is Ok to use. Early calls
to native_sched_clock() now erroneously try to use the TSC on
!cpu_has_tsc processors, leading to invalid opcode exceptions.
My proposed fix is to initialise tsc_disabled to a "soft disabled"
state distinct from the hard disabled state set up by the "notsc"
kernel option. This fixes the native_sched_clock() problem. It also
allows tsc_init() to be simplified: instead of setting tsc_disabled = 1
on every error return, we just set tsc_disabled = 0 once when all
checks have succeeded.
I've verified that this lets my 486 boot again. I've also verified
that a Core2 machine still uses the TSC as clocksource after the patch.

Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not
allocated or freed.
Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization
which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation
patch.
New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point.
flush_thread() {
...
/*
* Forget coprocessor state..
*/
clear_fpu(tsk);
<----- Preemption point
clear_used_math();
...
}
Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set
and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets
the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point
it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate().
Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is
null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will
trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops.
Fix this by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed
the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will
generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly.
We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but
since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages,
we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead.
In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core
file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not
been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating
all those useless newly zeroed pages.
This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the
same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly.
While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the
caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply
could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it)
and a page that just wasn't mapped.
We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not
be turned into a "struct page *". The error is arbitrarily picked to be
EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the
equivalent IO-mapped page case.
[ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing:
that's not how that function works ]

When we demote a slice from 64k to 4k, and we are about to insert an
HPTE for a 4k subpage and we notice that there is an existing 64k
HPTE, we first invalidate that HPTE before inserting the new 4k
subpage HPTE. Since the bits that encode which hash bucket the old
HPTE was in overlap with the bits that encode which of the 16 subpages
have HPTEs, we need to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits before
starting to insert HPTEs for the 4k subpages. If we don't do that, we
can erroneously think that a subpage already has an HPTE when it
doesn't.
That in itself wouldn't be such a problem except that when we go to
update the HPTE that we think is present on machines with a
hypervisor, the hypervisor can tell us that the HPTE we think is there
is actually there even though it isn't, which can lead to a process
getting stuck in a loop, continually faulting. The reason for the
confusion is that the AVPN (abbreviated virtual page number) we are
looking for in the HPTE for a 4k subpage can actually match the AVPN
in a stale HPTE for another 64k page. For example, the HPTE for
the 4k subpage at 0x84000f000 will be in the same hash bucket and have
the same AVPN as the HPTE for the 64k page at 0x8400f0000.
This fixes the code to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits.

A recent commit added support for the new 440x6 and 464 cores that have the
added WL1, IL1I, IL1D, IL2I, and ILD2 bits for the caching attributes in the
TLBs. The new bits were cleared in the finish_tlb_load function, however a
similar bit of code was missed in the DataStorage interrupt vector.

Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only
really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not),
but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how
many bytes were copied from user space.
And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would
sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had.
Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make
this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string"
instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this
issue.
To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared
about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that
doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write
routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by
avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug.
In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only
triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the
behavior down to commit 08291429cfa6258c4cd95d8833beb40f828b194e ("mm:
fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just
enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple
iovec's.
That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the
stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem.
[ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines
(with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that
was involved in showing this) have the right return values.
We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the
copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it
to fail. As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the
limit case gracefully. ]

check_sal_cache_flush is used to detect broken firmware that drops
pending interrupts.
The old implementation schedules a timer interrupt for itself in
the future by getting the current value of the Interval Timer
Counter + 1000 cycles, waits for the interrupt to be pended, calls
SAL_CACHE_FLUSH, and finally checks to see if the interrupt is
still pending.
This implementation can cause problems for virtual machine code if
the process of scheduling the timer interrupt takes more than 1000
cycles; the virtual machine can end up sleeping for several hundred
years while waiting for the ITC to wrap around.
The fix is to use platform_send_ipi. The processor will still send
an interrupt to itself, using the IA64_IPI_DM_INT delivery mode,
which causes the IPI to look like an external interrupt. The rest
of the SAL_CACHE_FLUSH + checking to see if the interrupt is still
pending remains unchanged.
This fix has been boot tested successfully on:
- intel tiger2
- hp rx6600
- hp rx5670
The rx5670 has known buggy firmware, where SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops
pending interrupts. A boot test on this machine showed this message
on the console:
SAL: SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops interrupts; PAL_CACHE_FLUSH will be used instead
Which proves that the self-inflicted IPI approach is viable. And
as expected, the other tested platforms correctly did not display
the warning.

This enables CONFIG_ATA_SFF in the defconfigs that are intended to
work on a G5 powermac, i.e. g5_defconfig and ppc64_defconfig. Since
the support for the SATA cell in the K2 chipset is provided by the
sata_svw.c driver, and that depends on CONFIG_ATA_SFF, we need to turn
that and CONFIG_SATA_SVW back on so we can get to the hard disk on G5s.

is a change that exports it globally which causes warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux: 'console_drivers' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux
and in one case (mpc85xx_defconfig) a build error:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__crc_console_drivers':

So remove the export now. Also, there is no longer any need to include

GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register
saves/restores based on:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01678.html
This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. To fix
this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down
for our needs (integer only).
Additionally, we have to link this code into each module. The other
solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the
trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines.
Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the
out-of-line save/restore functions.

There is a delay in the transition to the stopped state for class 2
interrupts. In some cases, the controlling thread detects the state of
the spu as running, and goes back to sleep resulting in a hung
application as the event is missed.
This change detects the stop condition and re-generates the wakeup event
after a context save.
