We have seen some problems of the current implementation of
get_dirty_log() which uses synchronize_srcu_expedited() for updating
dirty bitmaps; e.g. it is noticeable that this sometimes gives us ms
order of latency when we use VGA displays.
Furthermore the recent discussion on the following thread
"srcu: Implement call_srcu()"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/211
also motivated us to implement get_dirty_log() without SRCU.
This patch achieves this goal without sacrificing the performance of
both VGA and live migration: in practice the new code is much faster
than the old one unless we have too many dirty pages.
Implementation:
The key part of the implementation is the use of xchg() operation for
clearing dirty bits atomically. Since this allows us to update only
BITS_PER_LONG pages at once, we need to iterate over the dirty bitmap
until every dirty bit is cleared again for the next call.
Although some people may worry about the problem of using the atomic
memory instruction many times to the concurrently accessible bitmap,
it is usually accessed with mmu_lock held and we rarely see concurrent
accesses: so what we need to care about is the pure xchg() overheads.
Another point to note is that we do not use for_each_set_bit() to check
which ones in each BITS_PER_LONG pages are actually dirty. Instead we
simply use __ffs() in a loop. This is much faster than repeatedly call
find_next_bit().
Performance:
The dirty-log-perf unit test showed nice improvements, some times faster
than before, except for some extreme cases; for such cases the speed of
getting dirty page information is much faster than we process it in the
userspace.
For real workloads, both VGA and live migration, we have observed pure
improvements: when the guest was reading a file during live migration,
we originally saw a few ms of latency, but with the new method the
latency was less than 200us.

create new ones until we stop the logging.
For this we introduce a new function which can be used to write protect

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

The reason we are dying is b/c the call acpi_get_override_irq() is used,
which returns the polarity and trigger for the IRQs. That function calls
mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the
mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger
overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled
with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the
mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt.
The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops
struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this
work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant
of the fake IOAPIC entries.

When processor is being hot-added to the system, acpi_map_lsapic invokes
ACPI _MAT method to find APIC ID and flags, verifies that returned structure
is indeed ACPI's local APIC structure, and that flags contain MADT_ENABLED
bit. Then saves APIC ID, frees structure - and accesses structure when
computing arguments for acpi_register_lapic call. Which sometime leads
to acpi_register_lapic call being made with second argument zero, failing
to bring processor online with error 'Unable to map lapic to logical cpu
number'.
As lapic->lapic_flags & ACPI_MADT_ENABLED was already confirmed to be non-zero
few lines above, we can just pass unconditional ACPI_MADT_ENABLED to the
acpi_register_lapic.

The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the
32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the
HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially
it turned off the use of HLT.
This workaround was commented in the code as:
"disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"
"This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA
wreckage. It should be safe to remove."
H. Peter Anvin additionally adds:
"To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of
flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to
run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind,
including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed
to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT
caused some of these systems to fail.
They were by far in the minority even back then."
Alan Cox further says:
"Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT
occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during
DMA tended to go astray.
Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520
fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of
use."
So, let's finally drop this.

There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a
kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For
this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all
the way back to 2.6.36.
The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates
writing a breakpoint into a read-only page. The x86 kgdb code can
solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint
set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly.
The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional
probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function.
The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break
point removal routine will get called later on.

The default irq_disable() sematics are to mark the interrupt disabled,
but keep it unmasked. If the interrupt is delivered while marked
disabled, the low level interrupt handler masks it and marks it
pending. This is important for detecting wakeup interrupts during
suspend and for edge type interrupts to avoid losing interrupts.
fixup_irqs() moves the interrupts away from an offlined cpu. For
certain interrupt types it needs to mask the interrupt line before
changing the affinity. After affinity has changed the interrupt line
is unmasked again, but only if it is not marked disabled.
This breaks the lazy irq disable semantics and causes problems in
suspend as the interrupt can be lost or wakeup functionality is
broken.
Check irqd_irq_masked() instead of irqd_irq_disabled() because
irqd_irq_masked() is only set, when the core code actually masked the
interrupt line. If it's not set, we unmask the interrupt and let the
lazy irq disable logic deal with an eventually incoming interrupt.

crashkernel reservation need know the total memory size. Current
get_total_mem simply use max_pfn - min_low_pfn. It is wrong because it
will including memory holes in the middle.
Especially for kvm guest with memory > 0xe0000000, there's below in qemu
code: qemu split memory as below:
if (ram_size >= 0xe0000000 ) {
above_4g_mem_size = ram_size - 0xe0000000;
below_4g_mem_size = 0xe0000000;
} else {
below_4g_mem_size = ram_size;
}
So for 4G mem guest, seabios will insert a 512M usable region beyond of
4G. Thus in above case max_pfn - min_low_pfn will be more than original
memsize.
Fixing this issue by using memblock_phys_mem_size() to get the total
memsize.

[Firmware Bug]: cpu 0, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x10400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 0, IBS interrupt offset 0 not available (MSRC001103A=0x0000000000000100)

In this case the BIOS assigns both offsets for MCE (0xf9) and IBS
(0x400) vectors to offset 0, which is why the second APIC setup (IBS)
failed.
With correct setup you get:
# dmesg | grep -i 'offset\|ibs'

IBS: LVT offset 1 assigned

Add a debugfs interface for sending commands to the OLPC
Embedded Controller (EC) and reading the responses. The EC
provides functionality for machine identification, battery and
AC control, wakeup control, etc.
Having a debugfs interface available is useful for EC
development and debugging.
Based on code by Paul Fox (who also approves of the end result).

We should not ever enable IRQs until we're fully set up. This opens up
a window where interrupts can hit the cpu and interrupts can do
wakeups, wakeups need state that isn't set-up yet, in particular this
cpu isn't elegible to run tasks, so if any cpu-affine task that got
created in CPU_UP_PREPARE manages to get a wakeup, its affinity mask
will get broken and we'll run into lots of 'interesting' problems.

Both functions are mostly identical.
The differences are:
- x86_32's cpu_idle() makes use of check_pgt_cache(), which is a
nop on both x86_32 and x86_64.
- x86_64's cpu_idle() uses enter/__exit_idle/(), on x86_32 these
function are a nop.
- In contrast to x86_32, x86_64 calls rcu_idle_enter/exit() in
the innermost loop because idle notifications need RCU.
Calling these function on x86_32 also in the innermost loop
does not hurt.
So we can merge both functions.

Remove CONFIG_TR=y from the x86 defconfigs since
token ring support is antiquated and obsolete.
( I reviewed both x86 defconfigs - I didn't come up with
anything else that obviously should be removed. )

After printing out the first line of a stack backtrace,
print_context_stack() calls print_ftrace_graph_addr() to check
if it's making a graph of function calls, usually not the case.
But unfortunate ordering of assignments causes this to oops if
an earlier stack overflow corrupted threadinfo->task. Reorder
to avoid that irritation.
( The fact that there was a stack overflow may often be more
interesting than the stack that can now be shown; but
integrating that information with this stacktrace is awkward,
so leave it to overflow reporting. )

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).
Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.
The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.
The qemu code which implements this features is at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.
I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.
This patch:
The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

This renames for_each_set_bit_cont() to for_each_set_bit_from() because
it is analogous to list_for_each_entry_from() in list.h rather than
list_for_each_entry_continue().
This doesn't remove for_each_set_bit_cont() for now.
