Alexander Graf 10474ae894 KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand
X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization
extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for
users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB
entries (svm).

Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module
is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking
other VMMs.

To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on
demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead
virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine
and disabled on destruction of the last one.

So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other
hypervisors usable.

Ilya Loginov 2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

Lin Ming 0696b711e4 timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp
Since commit 0a544198 "timekeeping: Move NTP adjusted clock multiplier
to struct timekeeper" the clock multiplier of vsyscall is updated with
the unmodified clock multiplier of the clock source and not with the
NTP adjusted multiplier of the timekeeper.

This causes user space observerable time warps:
new CLOCK-warp maximum: 120 nsecs,  00000025c337c537 -> 00000025c337c4bf

Add a new argument "mult" to update_vsyscall() and hand in the

Jesse Barnes ac1aa47b13 PCI: determine CLS more intelligently
Till now, CLS has been determined either by arch code or as
L1_CACHE_BYTES.  Only x86 and ia64 set CLS explicitly and x86 doesn't
always get it right.  On most configurations, the chance is that
firmware configures the correct value during boot.

This patch makes pci_init() determine CLS by looking at what firmware
has configured.  It scans all devices and if all non-zero values
agree, the value is used.  If none is configured or there is a
disagreement, pci_dfl_cache_line_size is used.  arch can set the dfl
value (via PCI_CACHE_LINE_BYTES or pci_dfl_cache_line_size) or
override the actual one.

ia64, x86 and sparc64 updated to set the default cls instead of the
actual one.

While at it, declare pci_cache_line_size and pci_dfl_cache_line_size
in pci.h and drop private declarations from arch code.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

Neil Horman 3b885787ea net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg
Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows

Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
successfully by me.

Notes:

1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.

2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.

3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

spinaphore, so make it 8 bytes rather than try to squeeze it into
4-bytes to keep the code simpler (and shorter).

Tony Luck 9d40ee200a [IA64] Squeeze ticket locks back into 4 bytes.
Linus pointed out that other people have spent large amounts of time
and effort to optimize the layout of frequently used structures. Often
these have embedded locks, and the assumption is that a lock takes
4 bytes.  Linus also pointed out how to work with the limited options
for atomic instructions on Itanium.

Tejun Heo 52594762a3 ia64: convert to dynamic percpu allocator
Unlike other archs, ia64 reserves space for percpu areas during early
memory initialization.  These areas occupy a contiguous region indexed
by cpu number on contiguous memory model or are grouped by node on
discontiguous memory model.

As allocation and initialization are done by the arch code, all that
setup_per_cpu_areas() needs to do is communicating the determined
layout to the percpu allocator.  This patch implements
setup_per_cpu_areas() for both contig and discontig memory models and
drops HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA.

Please note that for contig model, the allocation itself is modified
only to allocate for possible cpus instead of NR_CPUS.  As dynamic
percpu allocator can handle non-direct mapping, there's no reason to
allocate memory for cpus which aren't possible.

Tejun Heo 36886478f5 ia64: allocate percpu area for cpu0 like percpu areas for other cpus
cpu0 used special percpu area reserved by the linker, __cpu0_per_cpu,
which is set up early in boot by head.S.  However, this doesn't
guarantee that the area will be on the same node as cpu0 and the
percpu area for cpu0 ends up very far away from percpu areas for other
cpus which cause problems for congruent percpu allocator.

This patch makes percpu area initialization allocate percpu area for
cpu0 like any other cpus and copy it from __cpu0_per_cpu which now
resides in the __init area.  This means that for cpu0, percpu area is
first setup at __cpu0_per_cpu early by head.S and then moved to an
area in the linear mapping during memory initialization and it's not
allowed to take a pointer to percpu variables between head.S and
memory initialization.

Tejun Heo 12cda81777 ia64: initialize cpu maps early
All information necessary to initialize cpu possible and present maps
are available once early_acpi_boot_init() is complete.  Reorganize
setup_arch() and acpi init functions such that,

* CPU information is printed after LAPIC entries are parsed in
  early_acpi_boot_init().

* smp_build_cpu_map() is called by setup_arch() instead of acpi
  functions.

* smp_build_cpu_map() is called once all CPU related information is
  available before memory is initialized.

This is primarily to allow find_memory() to use cpu maps but is also a
general cleanup.  Please note that with this change, the somewhat
ad-hoc early_cpu_possible_map defined and used for NUMA configurations
is probably unnecessary.  Something to clean up another day.

Tejun Heo 126b3fcdec ia64: don't alias VMALLOC_END to vmalloc_end
If CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is enabled, ia64 defines macro VMALLOC_END
as unsigned long variable vmalloc_end which is adjusted to prepare
room for vmemmap.  This becomes probnlematic if a local variables
vmalloc_end is defined in some function (not very unlikely) and
VMALLOC_END is used in the function - the function thinks its
referencing the global VMALLOC_END value but would be referencing its
own local vmalloc_end variable.

There's no reason VMALLOC_END should be a macro.  Just define it as an
unsigned long variable if CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is set to avoid nasty
surprises.

Tony Luck 2c86963b09 [IA64] implement ticket locks for Itanium
Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks
for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1).

IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the
available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction
that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use
a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values.

Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous
implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the
contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in
the noise.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 3089aa1b0c kcore: use registerd physmem information
For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add().
In usual,

	- range of physical memory
	- range of vmalloc area
	- text, etc...

are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles.  It
doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary
memory holes.  Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required
physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory
hotplug.  Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating
information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on
/proc/iomem.

Some 64bit arch has special segment for mapping kernel text.  It should be

This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64.

I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch)
but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not in
direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary
thing to do.

will look like anonymous memory to user space.  This is accomplished by
using a file on the internal vfsmount.  MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it.  The region will behave
the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.

The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only
on some architectures but not on others.  Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a
hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific
meaning to it.

Sam Ravnborg caa27b66bd kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

  ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

When
* there is almost out of ates
* one asks for more than one ate
* there are some available at the end of ate array
then the inner for loop will end without incrementing 'index'. This
means the outer loop will start at the same point finding it's available
and runs the inner loop again from the same index. This repeats forever.

Hence make sure we check we were at the end of ate array and return
an error in such case.

Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)

This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

Peter Zijlstra c88d591089 sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self()
The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
RT interaction.

To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().

Modify sched_balance_self() to:

  - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
    (it only called it for the top domain, but it should
     have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
    this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().

  - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
    both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
    WAKE invocations.

Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().

This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.

SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.

Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

Hidetoshi Seto 0cced40e7c [IA64] kdump: Short path to freeze CPUs
Setting monarch_cpu = -1 to let slaves frozen might not work, because
there might be slaves being late, not entered the rendezvous yet.
Such slaves might be caught in while (monarch_cpu == -1) loop.

Use kdump_in_progress instead of monarch_cpus to break INIT rendezvous
and let all slaves enter DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE smoothly.

And monarch no longer need to manage rendezvous if once kdump_in_progress
is set, catch the monarch in DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER then.

Hidetoshi Seto 1726b0883d [IA64] kdump: Mask INIT first in panic-kdump path
Summary:

  Asserting INIT might block kdump if the system is already going to
  start kdump via panic.

Description:

  INIT can interrupt anywhere in panic path, so it can interrupt in
  middle of kdump kicked by panic.  Therefore there is a race if kdump
  is kicked concurrently, via Panic and via INIT.

  INIT could fail to invoke kdump if the system is already going to
  start kdump via panic.  It could not restart kdump from INIT handler
  if some of cpus are already playing dead with INIT masked.  It also
  means that INIT could block kdump's progress if no monarch is entered
  in the INIT rendezvous.

  Panic+INIT is a rare, but possible situation since it can be assumed
  that the kernel or an internal agent decides to panic the unstable
  system while another external agent decides to send an INIT to the
  system at same time.

How to reproduce:

  Assert INIT just after panic, before all other cpus have frozen

Expected results:

  continue kdump invoked by panic, or restart kdump from INIT

Actual results:

  might be hang, crashdump not retrieved

Proposed Fix:

  This patch masks INIT first in panic path to take the initiative on
  kdump, and reuse atomic value kdump_in_progress to make sure there is
  only one initiator of kdump.  All INITs asserted later should be used
  only for freezing all other cpus.

  This mask will be removed soon by rfi in relocate_kernel.S, before jump
  into kdump kernel, after all cpus are frozen and no-op INIT handler is
  registered.  So if INIT was in the interval while it is masked, it will
  pend on the system and will received just after the rfi, and handled by
  the no-op handler.

  If there was a MCA event while psr.mc is 1, in theory the event will
  pend on the system and will received just after the rfi same as above.
  MCA handler is unregistered here at the time, so received MCA will not
  reach to OS_MCA and will result in warmboot by SAL.

  Note that codes in this masked interval are relatively simpler than
  that in MCA/INIT handler which also executed with the mask.  So it can
  be said that probability of error in this interval is supposed not so
  higher than that in MCA/INIT handler.

Hidetoshi Seto 68cb14c7c4 [IA64] kdump: Don't return APs to SAL from kdump
Summary:

  Asserting INIT on cpu going to be offline will result in unexpected
  behavior.  It will be a real problem in kdump cases where INIT might
  be asserted to unstable APs going to be offline by returning to SAL.

Description:

  Since psr.mc is cleared when bits in psr are set to SAL_PSR_BITS_TO_SET
  in ia64_jump_to_sal(), there is a small window (~few msecs) that the
  cpu can receive INIT even if the cpu enter there via INIT handler.
  In this window we do restore of registers for SAL, so INIT asserted
  here will not work properly.

  It is hard to remove this window by masking INIT (i.e. setting psr.mc)
  because we have to unmask it later in OS, because we have to use branch
  instruction (br.ret, not rfi) to return SAL, due to OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to
  SAL return convention.

  I suppose this window will not be a real problem on cpu offline if we
  can educate people not to push INIT button during hotplug operation.
  However, only exception is a race in kdump and INIT.  Now kdump returns
  APs to SAL before processing dump, but the kernel might receive INIT at
  that point in time.  Such INIT might be asserted by kdump itself if an
  AP doesn't react IPI soon and kdump decided to use INIT to stop the AP.
  Or it might be asserted by operator or an external agent to start dump
  on the unstable system.

  Such panic+INIT or INIT+INIT cases should be rare, but it will be happy
  if we can retrieve crashdump even in such cases.

How to reproduce:

  panic+INIT or INIT+INIT, with kdump configured

Expected results:

  crashdump is retrieved anyway

Actual results:

  panic, hang etc. (unexpected)

Proposed fix

  To avoid the window on the way to SAL, this patch stops returning APs
  to SAL in case of kdump.  In other words, this patch makes APs spin
  in OS instead of spinning in SAL.

  (* Note: What impact would be there?  If a cpu is spinning in SAL,
   the cpu is in BOOT_RENDEZ loop, as same as offlined cpu.
   In theory if an INIT is asserted there, cpus in the BOOT_RENDEZ loop
   should not invoke OS_INIT on it.  So in either way, no matter where
   the cpu is spinning actually in, once cpu starts spin and act as
   "frozen," INIT on the cpu have no effects.
   From another point of view, all debug information on the cpu should
   have stored to memory before the cpu start to be frozen.  So no more
   action on the cpu is required.)

  I confirmed that the kdump sometime hangs by concurrent INITs (another
  INIT after an INIT), and it doesn't hang after applying this patch.

Hidetoshi Seto 6cc3efcdf0 [IA64] kexec: Unregister MCA handler before kexec
Summary:

  MCA on the beginning of kdump/kexec kernel will result in unexpected
  behavior because MCA handler for previous kernel is invoked on the
  kdump kernel.

Description:

  Once a cpu is passed to new kernel, all resources in previous kernel
  should not be used from the cpu.  Even the resources for MCA handler
  are no exception.  So we cannot handle MCAs and its machine check
  errors during kernel transition, until new handler for new kernel is
  registered with new resources ready for handling the MCA.

How to reproduce:

  Assert MCA while kdump kernel is booting, before new MCA handler for
  kdump kernel is registered.

Expected(Desirable) results:

  No recovery, cancel kdump and reboot the system.

Actual results:

  MCA handler for previous kernel is invoked on the kdump kernel.
  => panic, hang etc. (unexpected)

Proposed fix:

  To avoid entering MCA handler from early stage of new kernel,
  unregister the entry point from SAL before leave from current
  kernel.  Then SAL will make all MCAs to warmboot safely, without
  invoking OS_MCA.

Hidetoshi Seto 07a6a4ae82 [IA64] kexec: Make INIT safe while transition to
kdump/kexec kernel

Summary:

  Asserting INIT on the beginning of kdump/kexec kernel will result
  in unexpected behavior because INIT handler for previous kernel is
  invoked on new kernel.

Description:

  In panic situation, we can receive INIT while kernel transition,
  i.e. from beginning of panic to bootstrap of kdump kernel.
  Since we initialize registers on leave from current kernel, no
  longer monarch/slave handlers of current kernel in virtual mode are
  called safely.  (In fact system goes hang as far as I confirmed)

How to Reproduce:

  Start kdump
    # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  Then assert INIT while kdump kernel is booting, before new INIT
  handler for kdump kernel is registered.

Expected(Desirable) result:

  kdump kernel boots without any problem, crashdump retrieved

Actual result:

  INIT handler for previous kernel is invoked on kdump kernel
  => panic, hang etc. (unexpected)

Proposed fix:

  We can unregister these init handlers from SAL before jumping into
  new kernel, however then the INIT will fallback to default behavior,
  result in warmboot by SAL (according to the SAL specification) and
  we cannot retrieve the crashdump.

  Therefore this patch introduces a NOP init handler and register it
  to SAL before leave from current kernel, to start kdump safely by
  preventing INITs from entering virtual mode and resulting in warmboot.

  On the other hand, in case of kexec that not for kdump, it also
  has same problem with INIT while kernel transition.
  This patch handles this case differently, because for kexec
  unregistering handlers will be preferred than registering NOP
  handler, since the situation "no handlers registered" is usual
  state for kernel's entry.

Hidetoshi Seto 4295ab3488 [IA64] kdump: Mask MCA/INIT on frozen cpus
Summary:

  INIT asserted on kdump kernel invokes INIT handler not only on a
  cpu that running on the kdump kernel, but also BSP of the panicked
  kernel, because the (badly) frozen BSP can be thawed by INIT.

Description:

  The kdump_cpu_freeze() is called on cpus except one that initiates
  panic and/or kdump, to stop/offline the cpu (on ia64, it means we
  pass control of cpus to SAL, or put them in spinloop).  Note that
  CPU0(BSP) always go to spinloop, so if panic was happened on an AP,
  there are at least 2cpus (= the AP and BSP) which not back to SAL.

  On the spinning cpus, interrupts are disabled (rsm psr.i), but INIT
  is still interruptible because psr.mc for mask them is not set unless
  kdump_cpu_freeze() is not called from MCA/INIT context.

  Therefore, assume that a panic was happened on an AP, kdump was
  invoked, new INIT handlers for kdump kernel was registered and then
  an INIT is asserted.  From the viewpoint of SAL, there are 2 online
  cpus, so INIT will be delivered to both of them.  It likely means
  that not only the AP (= a cpu executing kdump) enters INIT handler
  which is newly registered, but also BSP (= another cpu spinning in
  panicked kernel) enters the same INIT handler.  Of course setting of
  registers in BSP are still old (for panicked kernel), so what happen
  with running handler with wrong setting will be extremely unexpected.
  I believe this is not desirable behavior.

How to Reproduce:

  Start kdump on one of APs (e.g. cpu1)
    # taskset 0x2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  Then assert INIT after kdump kernel is booted, after new INIT handler
  for kdump kernel is registered.

Expected results:

  An INIT handler is invoked only on the AP.

Actual results:

  An INIT handler is invoked on the AP and BSP.

Sample of results:

  I got following console log by asserting INIT after prompt "root:/>".
  It seems that two monarchs appeared by one INIT, and one panicked at
  last.  And it also seems that the panicked one supposed there were
  4 online cpus and no one did rendezvous:

    :
    [  0 %]dropping to initramfs shell
    exiting this shell will reboot your system
    root:/> Entered OS INIT handler. PSP=fff301a0 cpu=0 monarch=0
    ia64_init_handler: Promoting cpu 0 to monarch.
    Delaying for 5 seconds...
    All OS INIT slaves have reached rendezvous
    Processes interrupted by INIT - 0 (cpu 0 task 0xa000000100af0000)
    :
    <<snip>>
    :
    Entered OS INIT handler. PSP=fff301a0 cpu=0 monarch=1
    Delaying for 5 seconds...
    mlogbuf_finish: printing switched to urgent mode, MCA/INIT might be dodgy or fail.
    OS INIT slave did not rendezvous on cpu 1 2 3
    INIT swapper 0[0]: bugcheck! 0 [1]
    :
    <<snip>>
    :
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

Proposed fix:

  To avoid this problem, this patch inserts ia64_set_psr_mc() to mask
  INIT on cpus going to be frozen.  This masking have no effect if the
  kdump_cpu_freeze() is called from INIT handler when kdump_on_init == 1,
  because psr.mc is already turned on to 1 before entering OS_INIT.
  I confirmed that weird log like above are disappeared after applying
  this patch.
