During bootup Xen supplies us with a P2M array. It sticks
it right after the ramdisk, as can be seen with a 128GB PV guest:
(certain parts removed for clarity):
xc_dom_build_image: called
xc_dom_alloc_segment: kernel : 0xffffffff81000000 -> 0xffffffff81e43000 (pfn 0x1000 + 0xe43 pages)

xc_dom_pfn_to_ptr: domU mapping: pfn 0x1e43+0x10784 at 0x7f0952dd2000
xc_dom_alloc_segment: phys2mach : 0xffffffff925c7000 -> 0xffffffffa25c7000 (pfn 0x125c7 + 0x10000 pages)
xc_dom_pfn_to_ptr: domU mapping: pfn 0x125c7+0x10000 at 0x7f0942dd2000

xc_dom_alloc_page : console : 0xffffffffa25c9000 (pfn 0x225c9)
nr_page_tables: 0x0000ffffffffffff/48: 0xffff000000000000 -> 0xffffffffffffffff, 1 table(s)
nr_page_tables: 0x0000007fffffffff/39: 0xffffff8000000000 -> 0xffffffffffffffff, 1 table(s)
nr_page_tables: 0x000000003fffffff/30: 0xffffffff80000000 -> 0xffffffffbfffffff, 1 table(s)
nr_page_tables: 0x00000000001fffff/21: 0xffffffff80000000 -> 0xffffffffa27fffff, 276 table(s)
xc_dom_alloc_segment: page tables : 0xffffffffa25ca000 -> 0xffffffffa26e1000 (pfn 0x225ca + 0x117 pages)
xc_dom_pfn_to_ptr: domU mapping: pfn 0x225ca+0x117 at 0x7f097d7a8000
xc_dom_alloc_page : boot stack : 0xffffffffa26e1000 (pfn 0x226e1)
xc_dom_build_image : virt_alloc_end : 0xffffffffa26e2000
xc_dom_build_image : virt_pgtab_end : 0xffffffffa2800000
So the physical memory and virtual (using __START_KERNEL_map addresses)
layout looks as so:
phys __ka
/------------\ /-------------------\
| 0 | empty | 0xffffffff80000000|
| .. | | .. |
| 16MB | <= kernel starts | 0xffffffff81000000|
| .. | | |
| 30MB | <= kernel ends => | 0xffffffff81e43000|
| .. | & ramdisk starts | .. |
| 293MB | <= ramdisk ends=> | 0xffffffff925c7000|
| .. | & P2M starts | .. |
| .. | | .. |
| 549MB | <= P2M ends => | 0xffffffffa25c7000|
| .. | start_info | 0xffffffffa25c7000|
| .. | xenstore | 0xffffffffa25c8000|
| .. | cosole | 0xffffffffa25c9000|
| 549MB | <= page tables => | 0xffffffffa25ca000|
| .. | | |
| 550MB | <= PGT end => | 0xffffffffa26e1000|
| .. | boot stack | |
\------------/ \-------------------/
As can be seen, the ramdisk, P2M and pagetables are taking
a bit of __ka addresses space. Which is a problem since the
MODULES_VADDR starts at 0xffffffffa0000000 - and P2M sits
right in there! This results during bootup with the inability to
load modules, with this error:

vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 16384 of 20480 bytes
modprobe: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xd2
Since the __va and __ka are 1:1 up to MODULES_VADDR and
cleanup_highmap rids __ka of the ramdisk mapping, what
we want to do is similar - get rid of the P2M in the __ka
address space. There are two ways of fixing this:
1) All P2M lookups instead of using the __ka address would
use the __va address. This means we can safely erase from
__ka space the PMD pointers that point to the PFNs for
P2M array and be OK.
2). Allocate a new array, copy the existing P2M into it,
revector the P2M tree to use that, and return the old
P2M to the memory allocate. This has the advantage that
it sets the stage for using XEN_ELF_NOTE_INIT_P2M
feature. That feature allows us to set the exact virtual
address space we want for the P2M - and allows us to
boot as initial domain on large machines.
So we pick option 2).
This patch only lays the groundwork in the P2M code. The patch
that modifies the MMU is called "xen/mmu: Copy and revector the P2M tree."

B/c we do not need it. During the startup the Xen provides
us with all the initial memory mapped that we need to function.
The initial memory mapped is up to the bootstack, which means
we can reference using __ka up to 4.f):
(from xen/interface/xen.h):
4. This the order of bootstrap elements in the initial virtual region:
a. relocated kernel image
b. initial ram disk [mod_start, mod_len]
c. list of allocated page frames [mfn_list, nr_pages]
d. start_info_t structure [register ESI (x86)]
e. bootstrap page tables [pt_base, CR3 (x86)]

(initial ram disk may be ommitted).

and "xen/x86: Use memblock_reserve for sensitive areas."
This reverts commit 806c312e50f122c47913145cf884f53dd09d9199 and
commit 59b294403e9814e7c1154043567f0d71bac7a511.
And also documents setup.c and why we want to do it that way, which
is that we tried to make the the memblock_reserve more selective so
that it would be clear what region is reserved. Sadly we ran
in the problem wherein on a 64-bit hypervisor with a 32-bit
initial domain, the pt_base has the cr3 value which is not
neccessarily where the pagetable starts! As Jan put it: "
Actually, the adjustment turns out to be correct: The page
tables for a 32-on-64 dom0 get allocated in the order "first L1",
"first L2", "first L3", so the offset to the page table base is
indeed 2. When reading xen/include/public/xen.h's comment
very strictly, this is not a violation (since there nothing is said
that the first thing in the page table space is pointed to by
pt_base; I admit that this seems to be implied though, namely
do I think that it is implied that the page table space is the
range [pt_base, pt_base + nt_pt_frames), whereas that
range here indeed is [pt_base - 2, pt_base - 2 + nt_pt_frames),
which - without a priori knowledge - the kernel would have
difficulty to figure out)." - so lets just fall back to the
easy way and reserve the whole region.

If a 64-bit hypervisor is booted with a 32-bit initial domain,
the hypervisor deals with the initial domain as "compat" and
does some extra adjustments (like pagetables are 4 bytes instead
of 8). It also adjusts the xen_start_info->pt_base incorrectly.
When booted with a 32-bit hypervisor (32-bit initial domain):
..
(XEN) Start info: cf831000->cf83147c
(XEN) Page tables: cf832000->cf8b5000
..
[ 0.000000] PT: cf832000 (f832000)
[ 0.000000] Reserving PT: f832000->f8b5000
And with a 64-bit hypervisor:
(XEN) Start info: 00000000cf831000->00000000cf8314b4
(XEN) Page tables: 00000000cf832000->00000000cf8b6000
[ 0.000000] PT: cf834000 (f834000)
[ 0.000000] Reserving PT: f834000->f8b8000
To deal with this, we keep keep track of the highest physical
address we have reserved via memblock_reserve. If that address
does not overlap with pt_base, we have a gap which we reserve.

Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov:
"The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The
old logic in the kdb code makes no sense in terms of current
printk/logging storage format, and KDB simply hangs forever upon
entering 'dmesg' command.
The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper
iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler.
A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant
of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6.
It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll
try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go:
- The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at
all. It is a regression
- The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else;
- If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your
setup), it hardly can make things worse."

We can't guarantee that REQ_DISCARD on dm-mirror zeroes the data even if
the underlying disks support zero on discard. So this patch sets
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
For example, if the mirror is in the process of resynchronizing, it may
happen that kcopyd reads a piece of data, then discard is sent on the
same area and then kcopyd writes the piece of data to another leg.
Consequently, the data is not zeroed.
The flag was made available by commit 983c7db347db8ce2d8453fd1d89b7a4bb6920d56

When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a
full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the
block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots
sharing this block.
This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when
sending it to the shared block.
The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be
guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
Thin target discard support with this bug arrived in commit
104655fd4dcebd50068ef30253a001da72e3a081 (dm thin: support discards).

This patch fixes a crash when a discard request is sent during mirror
recovery.
Firstly, some background. Generally, the following sequence happens during
mirror synchronization:
- function do_recovery is called
- do_recovery calls dm_rh_recovery_prepare
- dm_rh_recovery_prepare uses a semaphore to limit the number
simultaneously recovered regions (by default the semaphore value is 1,
so only one region at a time is recovered)
- dm_rh_recovery_prepare calls __rh_recovery_prepare,
__rh_recovery_prepare asks the log driver for the next region to
recover. Then, it sets the region state to DM_RH_RECOVERING. If there
are no pending I/Os on this region, the region is added to
quiesced_regions list. If there are pending I/Os, the region is not
added to any list. It is added to the quiesced_regions list later (by
dm_rh_dec function) when all I/Os finish.
- when the region is on quiesced_regions list, there are no I/Os in
flight on this region. The region is popped from the list in
dm_rh_recovery_start function. Then, a kcopyd job is started in the
recover function.
- when the kcopyd job finishes, recovery_complete is called. It calls
dm_rh_recovery_end. dm_rh_recovery_end adds the region to
recovered_regions or failed_recovered_regions list (depending on
whether the copy operation was successful or not).
The above mechanism assumes that if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING
state, no new I/Os are started on this region. When I/O is started,
dm_rh_inc_pending is called, which increases reg->pending count. When
I/O is finished, dm_rh_dec is called. It decreases reg->pending count.
If the count is zero and the region was in DM_RH_RECOVERING state,
dm_rh_dec adds it to the quiesced_regions list.
Consequently, if we call dm_rh_inc_pending/dm_rh_dec while the region is
in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, it could be added to quiesced_regions list
multiple times or it could be added to this list when kcopyd is copying
data (it is assumed that the region is not on any list while kcopyd does
its jobs). This results in memory corruption and crash.
There already exist bypasses for REQ_FLUSH requests: REQ_FLUSH requests
do not belong to any region, so they are always added to the sync list
in do_writes. dm_rh_inc_pending does not increase count for REQ_FLUSH
requests. In mirror_end_io, dm_rh_dec is never called for REQ_FLUSH
requests. These bypasses avoid the crash possibility described above.
These bypasses were improperly implemented for REQ_DISCARD when
the mirror target gained discard support in commit
5fc2ffeabb9ee0fc0e71ff16b49f34f0ed3d05b4 (dm raid1: support discard).
In do_writes, REQ_DISCARD requests is always added to the sync queue and
immediately dispatched (even if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING). However,
dm_rh_inc and dm_rh_dec is called for REQ_DISCARD resusts. So it violates the
rule that no I/Os are started on DM_RH_RECOVERING regions, and causes the list
corruption described above.
This patch changes it so that REQ_DISCARD requests follow the same path
as REQ_FLUSH. This avoids the crash.

It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on
stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then
the XOR should be preformed with all zeros.
Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great
waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have
pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't
like the kind of bugs this calls for.
Fix both birds, by returning a global zero_page, if offset is beyond
i_size.
TODO:
Change the API to ->__r4w_get_page() so a NULL can be
returned without being considered as error, since XOR API
treats NULL entries as zero_pages.

In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end
byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe.
.i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual
transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit
a new IO with the remainder.
Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this
as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has
exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers.
The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix
at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple.
So here it is below.
The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on
both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests
one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe,
and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe.
If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single
stripe. we do a single read like before.
The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write
into 3 even parts:
1._read_4_write_first_stripe
2. _read_4_write_last_stripe
3. _read_4_write_execute
And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last
stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3
is preformed additively.
Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of
genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did
not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try.
This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly
solution because the short write was dealt with out-of-band after
IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here
we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only
here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two
writes into a single submission)
NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new
shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not
occur anymore.
hurray!!

UBIFS has a feature called "empty space fix-up" which is a quirk to work-around
limitations of dumb flasher programs. Namely, of those flashers that are unable
to skip NAND pages full of 0xFFs while flashing, resulting in empty space at
the end of half-filled eraseblocks to be unusable for UBIFS. This feature is
relatively new (introduced in v3.0).
The fix-up routine (fixup_free_space()) is executed only once at the very first
mount if the superblock has the 'space_fixup' flag set (can be done with -F
option of mkfs.ubifs). It basically reads all the UBIFS data and metadata and
writes it back to the same LEB. The routine assumes the image is pristine and
does not have anything in the journal.
There was a bug in 'fixup_free_space()' where it fixed up the log incorrectly.
All but one LEB of the log of a pristine file-system are empty. And one
contains just a commit start node. And 'fixup_free_space()' just unmapped this
LEB, which resulted in wiping the commit start node. As a result, some users
were unable to mount the file-system next time with the following symptom:
UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: first log node at LEB 3:0 is not CS node
UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: log error detected while replaying the log at LEB 3:0
The root-cause of this bug was that 'fixup_free_space()' wrongly assumed
that the beginning of empty space in the log head (c->lhead_offs) was known
on mount. However, it is not the case - it was always 0. UBIFS does not store
in it the master node and finds out by scanning the log on every mount.
The fix is simple - just pass commit start node size instead of 0 to
'fixup_leb()'.

The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board. Since the
destination char* was read-only and the name is set statically at
compile time; this was both wrong and redundant.
The type of char* is changed to const char* to prevent future errors.

Fixups are executed once the pci-device is found which is during boot
process so __init seems fine as long as the platform does not support
hotplug.
However it is possible to remove the PCI bus at run time and have it
rediscovered again via "echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan" and this will call
the fixups again.

We have move irq enable to ->smp_finish. Place ->smp_finish() a little
late to prepare for move set_cpu_online() into start_secondary.
And it's not necessary to call cpu_set(cpu, cpu_callin_map) and
synchronise_count_slave() with irq enabled.
