When memory hotplug-adding happens for a large enough area
that a new PGD entry is needed for the direct mapping, the PGDs
of other processes would not get updated. This leads to some CPUs
oopsing like below when they have to access the unmapped areas.

This patch makes sure to always replicate new direct mapping PGD entries
to the PGDs of all processes, as well as ensures corresponding vmemmap
mapping gets synced.
V1: initial code by Andi Kleen.
V2: fix several issues found in testing.
V3: as suggested by Wu Fengguang, reuse common code of vmalloc_sync_all().

6b37f5a20c0e5c334c010a587058354215433e92 introduced the CPU frequency
calibration code for AMD CPUs whose TSCs didn't increment with the
core's P0 frequency. From F10h, revB onward, however, the TSC increment
rate is denoted by MSRC001_0015[24] and when this bit is set (which
should be done by the BIOS) the TSC increments with the P0 frequency
so the calibration is not needed and booting can be a couple of mcecs
faster on those machines.
Besides, there should be virtually no machines out there which don't
have this bit set, therefore this calibration can be safely removed. It
is a shaky hack anyway since it assumes implicitly that the core is in
P0 when BIOS hands off to the OS, which might not always be the case.

With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these
techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
feature from the hypervisor.
Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
still work fine on VMware's platform.
Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.
For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this,
http://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2009/09/vmi-retirement.html
This feature removal was scheduled for 2.6.37 back in September 2009.

All read operations after allocation stage can run speculatively,
all write operation will run in program order, and if addresses are
different read may run before older write operation, otherwise wait
until write commit. However CPU don't check each address bit,
so read could fail to recognize different address even they
are in different page.For example if rsi is 0xf004, rdi is 0xe008,
in following operation there will generate big performance latency.
1. movq (%rsi), %rax
2. movq %rax, (%rdi)
3. movq 8(%rsi), %rax
4. movq %rax, 8(%rdi)
If %rsi and rdi were in really the same meory page, there are TRUE
read-after-write dependence because instruction 2 write 0x008 and
instruction 3 read 0x00c, the two address are overlap partially.
Actually there are in different page and no any issues,
but without checking each address bit CPU could think they are
in the same page, and instruction 3 have to wait for instruction 2
to write data into cache from write buffer, then load data from cache,
the cost time read spent is equal to mfence instruction. We may avoid it by
tuning operation sequence as follow.
1. movq 8(%rsi), %rax
2. movq %rax, 8(%rdi)
3. movq (%rsi), %rax
4. movq %rax, (%rdi)
Instruction 3 read 0x004, instruction 2 write address 0x010, no any
dependence. At last on Core2 we gain 1.83x speedup compared with
original instruction sequence. In this patch we first handle small
size(less 20bytes), then jump to different copy mode. Based on our
micro-benchmark small bytes from 1 to 127 bytes, we got up to 2X
improvement, and up to 1.5X improvement for 1024 bytes on Corei7. (We
use our micro-benchmark, and will do further test according to your
requirment)

In x86, access and dirty bits are set automatically by CPU when CPU accesses
memory. When we go into the code path of below flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault(),
we already set dirty bit for pte and don't need flush tlb. This might mean
tlb entry in some CPUs hasn't dirty bit set, but this doesn't matter. When
the CPUs do page write, they will automatically check the bit and no software
involved.
On the other hand, flush tlb in below position is harmful. Test creates CPU
number of threads, each thread writes to a same but random address in same vma
range and we measure the total time. Under a 4 socket system, original time is
1.96s, while with the patch, the time is 0.8s. Under a 2 socket system, there is
20% time cut too. perf shows a lot of time are taking to send ipi/handle ipi for
tlb flush.

It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become
ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the
emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does
not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add
this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is
safe).
I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC
which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in
some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still
sync'd across cpu's) during resume.
This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less
than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value
returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the
update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and
idle cpu's after suspend/resume.
This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go
slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops.
Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that
sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during
suspend.

When testing cpu hotplug code on 32-bit we kept hitting the "CPU%d:
Stuck ??" message due to multiple cores concurrently accessing the
cpu_callin_mask, among others.
Since these codepaths are not protected from concurrent access due to
the fact that there's no sane reason for making an already complex
code unnecessarily more complex - we hit the issue only when insanely
switching cores off- and online - serialize hotplugging cores on the
sysfs level and be done with it.

Now that software events don't have interrupt disabled anymore in
the event path, callchains can nest on any context. So seperating
nmi and others contexts in two buffers has become racy.
Fix this by providing one buffer per nesting level. Given the size
of the callchain entries (2040 bytes * 4), we now need to allocate
them dynamically.
v2: Fixed put_callchain_entry call after recursion.
Fix the type of the recursion, it must be an array.
v3: Use a manual pr cpu allocation (temporary solution until NMIs
can safely access vmalloc'ed memory).
Do a better separation between callchain reference tracking and
allocation. Make the "put" path lockless for non-release cases.
v4: Protect the callchain buffers with rcu.
v5: Do the cpu buffers allocations node affine.

- Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
implementation that x86 overrides.
- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...
- Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).

Drop the TASK_RUNNING test on user tasks for callchains as
this check doesn't seem to make any sense.
Also remove the tests for !current that is not supposed to
happen and current->pid as this should be handled at the

This patch fixes machine crashes which occur when heavily exercising the
CPU hotplug codepaths on a 32-bit kernel. These crashes are caused by
AMD Erratum 383 and result in a fatal machine check exception. Here's
the scenario:
1. On 32-bit, the swapper_pg_dir page table is used as the initial page
table for booting a secondary CPU.
2. To make this work, swapper_pg_dir needs a direct mapping of physical
memory in it (the low mappings). By adding those low, large page (2M)
mappings (PAE kernel), we create the necessary conditions for Erratum
383 to occur.
3. Other CPUs which do not participate in the off- and onlining game may
use swapper_pg_dir while the low mappings are present (when leave_mm is
called). For all steps below, the CPU referred to is a CPU that is using
swapper_pg_dir, and not the CPU which is being onlined.
4. The presence of the low mappings in swapper_pg_dir can result
in TLB entries for addresses below __PAGE_OFFSET to be established
speculatively. These TLB entries are marked global and large.
5. When the CPU with such TLB entry switches to another page table, this
TLB entry remains because it is global.
6. The process then generates an access to an address covered by the
above TLB entry but there is a permission mismatch - the TLB entry
covers a large global page not accessible to userspace.
7. Due to this permission mismatch a new 4kb, user TLB entry gets
established. Further, Erratum 383 provides for a small window of time
where both TLB entries are present. This results in an uncorrectable
machine check exception signalling a TLB multimatch which panics the
machine.
There are two ways to fix this issue:
1. Always do a global TLB flush when a new cr3 is loaded and the
old page table was swapper_pg_dir. I consider this a hack hard
to understand and with performance implications
2. Do not use swapper_pg_dir to boot secondary CPUs like 64-bit
does.
This patch implements solution 2. It introduces a trampoline_pg_dir
which has the same layout as swapper_pg_dir with low_mappings. This page
table is used as the initial page table of the booting CPU. Later in the
bringup process, it switches to swapper_pg_dir and does a global TLB
flush. This fixes the crashes in our test cases.
-v2: switch to swapper_pg_dir right after entering start_secondary() so
that we are able to access percpu data which might not be mapped in the
trampoline page table.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

fpu.state is allocated from task_xstate_cachep, the size of task_xstate_cachep
is xstate_size. xstate_size is set from cpuid instruction, which is often
smaller than sizeof(struct xsave_struct). kvm is using sizeof(struct xsave_struct)
to fill in/out fpu.state.xsave, as what we allocated for fpu.state is
xstate_size, kernel will write out of memory and caused poison/redzone/padding
