There are only two ways to define sg_dma_len(); use sg->dma_length or
sg->length. This patch introduces NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH that enables
architectures to choose sg->dma_length or sg->length.

Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that
the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at
node 0 for newly created tasks.
This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of
the cpuset.

Add a spin_unlock missing on the error path. The locks and unlocks are

Reserve_memtype will allocate memory for new memtype, but
in free_memtype, after the memtype erased from rbtree, the
memory is not freed.
Changes since V1:
make rbt_memtype_erase return erased memtype so that
it can be freed in free_memtype.

This reverts commit b3b77c8caef1750ebeea1054e39e358550ea9f55, which was
also totally broken (see commit 0d2daf5cc858 that reverted the crc32
version of it). As reported by Stephen Rothwell, it causes problems on
big-endian machines:

The kernel has never had that crazy "__BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN"
model. It's not how we do things, and it isn't how we _should_ do
things. So don't go there.

Fix the following warning:
"WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x72):
Section mismatch in reference from the function powernowk8_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpb_nb
The function __exit powernowk8_exit() references a variable
__cpuinitdata cpb_nb. This is often seen when error handling in the exit
function uses functionality in the init path. The fix is often to remove
the __cpuinitdata annotation of cpb_nb so it may be used outside an init
section."

This adds:
alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.
Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.
The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
fuse fuse c10:229
ppp_generic ppp c108:0
tun net/tun c10:200
dm_mod mapper/control c10:235
Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
$ /sbin/udevd --debug
...
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666
A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.
Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.
This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files which makes
some header files bend backwards to get at the current endian. Lets
#define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h to make it easier for
header files that are used in user space too.
In userspace the convention is that
1. _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined,
2. you have to test for e.g. __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

Patch b7e2ecef92 (perf, trace: Optimize tracepoints by removing
IRQ-disable from perf/tracepoint interaction) made the
unfortunate mistake of assuming the world is x86 only, correct
this.
The problem was that perf_fetch_caller_regs() did
local_save_flags() into regs->flags, and I re-used that to
remove another local_save_flags(), forgetting !x86 doesn't have
regs->flags.
Do the reverse, remove the local_save_flags() from
perf_fetch_caller_regs() and let the ftrace site do the
local_save_flags() instead.

Bits set in cpu_possible_mask prior to the execution of
prefill_possible_map() (i.e. when parsing ACPI or MPS tables) would
prevent the SMP alternatives logic from switching to UP mode, plus
unnecessary setup of per-CPU data for CPUs that can never come online.
Additionally, without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled CPUs can never come
online, and hence setting cpu_possible_mask bits for them is again a
simple waste of resources.

When the SMP kernel decides to crash_kexec() the local APICs may have
pending interrupts in their vector tables.
The setup routine for the local APIC has a deficient mechanism for
clearing these interrupts, it only handles interrupts that has already
been dispatched to the local core for servicing (the ISR register) safely,
it doesn't consider lower prioritized queued interrupts stored in the IRR
register.
If you have more than one pending interrupt within the same 32 bit word in
the LAPIC vector table registers you may find yourself entering the IO
APIC setup with pending interrupts left in the LAPIC. This is a situation
for wich the IO APIC setup is not prepared. Depending of what/which
interrupt vector/vectors are stuck in the APIC tables your system may show
various degrees of malfunctioning. That was the reason why the
check_timer() failed in our system, the timer interrupts was blocked by
pending interrupts from the old kernel when routed trough the IO APIC.
Additional comment from Jiri Bohac:
==============
If this should go into stable release,
I'd add some kind of limit on the number of iterations, just to be safe from
hard to debug lock-ups:
+if (loops++ > MAX_LOOPS) {
+ printk("LAPIC pending clean-up")
+ break;
+}
while (queued);
with MAX_LOOPS something like 1E9 this would leave plenty of time for the
pending IRQs to be cleared and would and still cause at most a second of delay
if the loop were to lock-up for whatever reason.
[trenn@suse.de:
V2: Use tsc if avail to bail out after 1 sec due to possible virtual
apic_read calls which may take rather long (suggested by: Avi Kivity
<avi@redhat.com>) If no tsc is available bail out quickly after
cpu_khz, if we broke out too early and still have irqs pending (which
should never happen?) we still get a WARN_ON...
V3: - Fixed indentation -> checkpatch clean
- max_loops must be signed
V4: - Fix typo, mixed up tsc and ntsc in first rdtscll() call
V5: Adjust WARN_ON() condition to also catch error in cpu_has_tsc case]

It is not possible to use the hw_breakpoint.c API prior to mm_init(),
but it is possible to use hardware breakpoints with the kernel
debugger.
Prior to smp_init() it is possible to simply write to the dr registers
of the boot cpu directly. This can be used up until the
kgdb_arch_late() is invoked, at which point the standard hw_breakpoint.c
API will get used.

The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
kernel allocators are initialized.
This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
the kernel has been further initialized.
The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into
the debug core's version of the late init which is called

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception
handler.
Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

Remove all the references to the kgdb_post_primary_code. This
function serves no useful purpose because you can obtain the same
information from the "struct kgdb_state *ks" from with in the
debugger, if for some reason you want the data.
Also remove the unintentional duplicate assignment for ks->ex_vector.

These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.
This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
connection.
You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
"$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
gdb stub.
The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a
reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

Traditionally, fatal MCE will cause Linux print error log to console
then reboot. Because MCE registers will preserve their content after
warm reboot, the hardware error can be logged to disk or network after
reboot. But system may fail to warm reboot, then you may lose the
hardware error log. ERST can help here. Through saving the hardware
error log into flash via ERST before go panic, the hardware error log
can be gotten from the flash after system boot successful again.
The fatal MCE processing procedure with ERST involved is as follow:
- Hardware detect error, MCE raised
- MCE read MCE registers, check error severity (fatal), prepare error record
- Write MCE error record into flash via ERST
- Go panic, then trigger system reboot
- System reboot, /sbin/mcelog run, it reads /dev/mcelog to check flash
for error record of previous boot via ERST, and output and clear
them if available
- /sbin/mcelog logs error records into disk or network
ERST only accepts CPER record format, but there is no pre-defined CPER
section can accommodate all information in struct mce, so a customized
section type is defined to hold struct mce inside a CPER record as an
error section.

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.
Now, only SCI notification type and memory errors are supported. More
notification type and hardware error type will be added later. These
memory errors are reported to user space through /dev/mcelog via
faking a corrected Machine Check, so that the error memory page can be
offlined by /sbin/mcelog if the error count for one page is beyond the
threshold.
On some machines, Machine Check can not report physical address for
some corrected memory errors, but GHES can do that. So this simplified
GHES is implemented firstly.

When cr0.wp=0, we may shadow a gpte having u/s=1 and r/w=0 with an spte
having u/s=0 and r/w=1. This allows excessive access if the guest sets
cr0.wp=1 and accesses through this spte.
Fix by making cr0.wp part of the base role; we'll have different sptes for
the two cases and the problem disappears.

We now added a new set of clock-related msrs in replacement of the old
ones. In theory, we could just try to use them and get a return value
indicating they do not exist, due to our use of kvm_write_msr_save.
However, kvm clock registration happens very early, and if we ever
try to write to a non-existant MSR, we raise a lethal #GP, since our
idt handlers are not in place yet.
So this patch tests for a cpuid feature exported by the host to
decide which set of msrs are supported.

Right now, we were using individual KVM_CAP entities to communicate
userspace about which cpuids we support. This is suboptimal, since it
generates a delay between the feature arriving in the host, and
being available at the guest.
A much better mechanism is to list para features in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
This makes userspace automatically aware of what we provide. And if we
ever add a new cpuid bit in the future, we have to do that again,
which create some complexity and delay in feature adoption.

In recent stress tests, it was found that pvclock-based systems
could seriously warp in smp systems. Using ingo's time-warp-test.c,
I could trigger a scenario as bad as 1.5mi warps a minute in some systems.
(to be fair, it wasn't that bad in most of them). Investigating further, I
found out that such warps were caused by the very offset-based calculation
pvclock is based on.
This happens even on some machines that report constant_tsc in its tsc flags,
specially on multi-socket ones.
Two reads of the same kernel timestamp at approx the same time, will likely
have tsc timestamped in different occasions too. This means the delta we
calculate is unpredictable at best, and can probably be smaller in a cpu
that is legitimately reading clock in a forward ocasion.
Some adjustments on the host could make this window less likely to happen,
but still, it pretty much poses as an intrinsic problem of the mechanism.
A while ago, I though about using a shared variable anyway, to hold clock
last state, but gave up due to the high contention locking was likely
to introduce, possibly rendering the thing useless on big machines. I argue,
however, that locking is not necessary.
We do a read-and-return sequence in pvclock, and between read and return,
the global value can have changed. However, it can only have changed
by means of an addition of a positive value. So if we detected that our
clock timestamp is less than the current global, we know that we need to
return a higher one, even though it is not exactly the one we compared to.
OTOH, if we detect we're greater than the current time source, we atomically
replace the value with our new readings. This do causes contention on big
boxes (but big here means *BIG*), but it seems like a good trade off, since
it provide us with a time source guaranteed to be stable wrt time warps.
After this patch is applied, I don't see a single warp in time during 5 days
of execution, in any of the machines I saw them before.
