For x86-64, 32767 threads really is not enough. Change rwsem_count_t
to a signed long, so that it is 64 bits on x86-64.
This required the following changes to the assembly code:
a) %z0 doesn't work on all versions of gcc! At least gcc 4.4.2 as
shipped with Fedora 12 emits "ll" not "q" for 64 bits, even for
integer operands. Newer gccs apparently do this correctly, but
avoid this problem by using the _ASM_ macros instead of %z.
b) 64 bits immediates are only allowed in "movq $imm,%reg"
constructs... no others. Change some of the constraints to "e",
and fix the one case where we would have had to use an invalid
immediate -- in that case, we only care about the upper half
anyway, so just access the upper half.

After talking to some more folks inside intel (Peter Anvin, Asit Mallick),
the safest option (for future compatibility etc) seen was to use vector 0x20
for IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR instead of using vector 0x1f (which is documented as
reserved vector in the Intel IA32 manuals).
Also we don't need to reserve the entire privilege level (all 16 vectors in
the priority bucket that IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR falls into), as the
x86 architecture (section 10.9.3 in SDM Vol3a) specifies that with in the
priority level, the higher the vector number the higher the priority.
And hence we don't need to reserve the complete priority level 0x20-0x2f for
the IRQ migration cleanup logic.
So change the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR to 0x20 and allow 0x21-0x2f to be used
for device interrupts. 0x30-0x3f will be used for ISA interrupts (these
also can be migrated in the context of IOAPIC and hence need to be at a higher
priority level than IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR).

Commit 62edab9056a6cf0c9207339c8892c923a5217e45 (from June 2009
but merged in 2.6.33) changes notify_die to pass dr6 by
reference.
However, it forgets to fix the check for DR_STEP in kmmio.c,
breaking mmiotrace. It also passes a wrong value to the post
handler.
This simple fix makes mmiotrace work again.

What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.
There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
- write logging is supported (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)
common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.
What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.
How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
etc.
Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
utilization.
Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- mergeable buffers
- zero copy
- scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use
Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

This one is much faster than the spinlock based fallback rwsem code,
with certain artifical benchmarks having shown 300%+ improvement on
threaded page faults etc.
Again, note the 32767-thread limit here. So this really does need that
whole "make rwsem_count_t be 64-bit and fix the BIAS values to match"
extension on top of it, but that is conceptually a totally independent
issue.
NOT TESTED! The original patch that this all was based on were tested by
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki, but maybe I screwed up something when I created the
cleaned-up series, so caveat emptor..
Also note that it _may_ be a good idea to mark some more registers
clobbered on x86-64 in the inline asms instead of saving/restoring them.
They are inline functions, but they are only used in places where there
are not a lot of live registers _anyway_, so doing for example the
clobbers of %r8-%r11 in the asm wouldn't make the fast-path code any
worse, and would make the slow-path code smaller.
(Not that the slow-path really matters to that degree. Saving a few
unnecessary registers is the _least_ of our problems when we hit the slow
path. The instruction/cycle counting really only matters in the fast
path).

The fast version of the rwsems (the code that uses xadd) has
traditionally only worked on x86-32, and as a result it mixes different
kinds of types wildly - they just all happen to be 32-bit. We have
"long", we have "__s32", and we have "int".
To make it work on x86-64, the types suddenly matter a lot more. It can
be either a 32-bit or 64-bit signed type, and both work (with the caveat
that a 32-bit counter will only have 15 bits of effective write
counters, so it's limited to 32767 users). But whatever type you
choose, it needs to be used consistently.
This makes a new 'rwsem_counter_t', that is a 32-bit signed type. For a
64-bit type, you'd need to also update the BIAS values.

Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the BIOS and OSPM.
Based on the server workload, OSPM can request what frequency it expects
from a logical CPU, and the BIOS will achieve that frequency transparently.
This patch introduces driver support for PCC. OSPM uses the PCC driver to
communicate with the BIOS via the PCC interface.
There is a Documentation file that provides a link to the PCC
Specification, and also provides a summary of the PCC interface.
Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. However,
any platform whose BIOS implements the PCC Specification, can utilize this
driver.
V2 --> V1 changes (based on Dominik's suggestions):
- Removed the dependency on CPU_FREQ_TABLE
- "cpufreq_stats" will no longer PANIC. Actually, it will not load anymore
because it is not applicable.
- Removed the sanity check for target frequency in the ->target routine.
NOTE: A patch to sanitize the target frequency requested by "ondemand" is
needed to ensure that the target freq < policy->min.
Can this driver be queued up for the 2.6.33 tree?

Easy fix for a regression introduced in 2.6.31.
On managed CPUs the cpufreq.c core will call driver->exit(cpu) on the
managed cpus and powernow_k8 will free the core's data.
Later driver->get(cpu) function might get called trying to read out the
current freq of a managed cpu and the NULL pointer check does not work on
the freed object -> better set it to NULL.
->get() is unsigned and must return 0 as invalid frequency.

Under Xen 64 bit guests actually run their kernel in ring 3,
however the hypervisor takes care of squashing descriptor the
RPLs transparently (in order to allow them to continue to
differentiate between user and kernel space CS using the RPL).
Therefore the Xen paravirt backend should use RPL==0 instead of
1 (or 3). Using RPL==1 causes generic arch code to take
incorrect code paths because it uses "testl $3, <CS>, je foo"
type tests for a userspace CS and this considers 1==userspace.
This issue was previously masked because get_kernel_rpl() was
omitted when setting CS in kernel_thread(). This was fixed when
kernel_thread() was unified with 32 bit in
f443ff4201dd25cd4dec183f9919ecba90c8edc2.

agp_amd64_init() and agp_amd64_cleanup should be called only

While processing kernel perf callchains, an bad entry can be
considered as a valid stack pointer but not as a kernel address.
In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an
x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel
stacktrace.
Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid
kernel address.
This fixes a hard lockup in x86-32.

This makes gcc use the right register names and instruction operand sizes
automatically for the rwsem inline asm statements.
So instead of using "(%%eax)" to specify the memory address that is the
semaphore, we use "(%1)" or similar. And instead of forcing the operation
to always be 32-bit, we use "%z0", taking the size from the actual
semaphore data structure itself.
This doesn't actually matter on x86-32, but if we want to use the same
inline asm for x86-64, we'll need to have the compiler generate the proper
64-bit names for the registers (%rax instead of %eax), and if we want to
use a 64-bit counter too (in order to avoid the 15-bit limit on the
write counter that limits concurrent users to 32767 threads), we'll need
to be able to generate instructions with "q" accesses rather than "l".
Since this header currently isn't enabled on x86-64, none of that matters,
but we do want to use the xadd version of the semaphores rather than have
to take spinlocks to do a rwsem. The mm->mmap_sem can be heavily contended
when you have lots of threads all taking page faults, and the fallback
rwsem code that uses a spinlock performs abysmally badly in that case.

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable
pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately
userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable,
potentially turning an oops to an expolit.
To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override
the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values.
This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains
areas that cannot be mapped.
Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed
"No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM
AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit:

> x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg
As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check
in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a
situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector
mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration
might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get
the "No IRQ handler" messages.
Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move
is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup
interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the
new cpu destination).

This reverts commit ae1b22f6e46c03cede7cea234d0bf2253b4261cf.
As Linus said in 982d007a6ee: "There was something really messy about
cmpxchg8b and clone CPU's, so if you enable it on other CPUs later, do it
carefully."
This breaks lguest for those configs, but we can fix that by emulating
if we have to.

Callers of copy_from_user() expect it to return the number of bytes
it could not copy. In no case it is supposed to return -EFAULT.
In case of a detected buffer overflow just return the requested
length. In addition one could think of a memset that would clear
the size of the target object.

We want to use a vector-assignment sequence that avoids stumbling onto
0x80 earlier in the sequence, in order to improve the spread of
vectors across priority levels on machines with a small number of
interrupt sources. Right now, this is done by simply making the first
vector (0x31 or 0x41) completely unusable. This is unnecessary; all
we need is to start assignment at a +1 offset, we don't actually need
to prohibit the usage of this vector once we have wrapped around.

Reclaim 16 IDT vectors and make them available for general allocation.
Reclaim vectors 0x20-0x2f by reallocating the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR
to vector 0x1f. This is in the range of vector numbers that is
officially reserved for the CPU (for exceptions), however, the use of
the APIC to generate any vector 0x10 or above is documented, and the
CPU internally can receive any vector number (the legacy BIOS uses INT
0x08-0x0f for interrupts, as messed up as that is.)
Since IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR has to be alone in the lowest-numbered
priority level (block of 16), this effectively enables us to reclaim
an otherwise-unusable APIC priority level and put it to use.
Since this is a transient kernel-only allocation we can change it at
any time, and if/when there is an exception at vector 0x1f this
assignment needs to be changed as part of OS enabling that new feature.
