This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found
that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all
non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage.
According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual
Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when
an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under
FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether
the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These
errors are seen as error interrupts.
The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads
0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for
the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI.
When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt,
the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required
from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register
programmed as such as well.
This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling
interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to
0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will
signal illegal vector error interrupts.
This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before
restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.

This is a fix for the SGI Altix-UV Broadcast Assist Unit code,
which is used for TLB flushing.
Certain hardware configurations (that customers are ordering)
cause nasids (numa address space id's) to be non-consecutive.
Specifically, once you have more than 4 blades in a IRU
(Individual Rack Unit - or 1/2 rack) but less than the maximum
of 16, the nasid numbering becomes non-consecutive. This
currently results in a 'catastrophic error' (CATERR) detected by
the firmware during OS boot. The BAU is generating an 'INTD'
request that is targeting a non-existent nasid value. Such
configurations may also occur when a blade is configured off
because of hardware errors. (There is one UV hub per blade.)
This patch is required to support such configurations.
The problem with the tlb_uv.c code is that is using the
consecutive hub numbers as indices to the BAU distribution bit
map. These are simply the ordinal position of the hub or blade
within its partition. It should be using physical node numbers
(pnodes), which correspond to the physical nasid values. Use of
the hub number only works as long as the nasids in the partition
are consecutive and increase with a stride of 1.
This patch changes the index to be the pnode number, thus
allowing nasids to be non-consecutive.
It also provides a table in local memory for each cpu to
translate target cpu number to target pnode and nasid.
And it improves naming to properly reflect 'node' and 'uvhub'
versus 'nasid'.

Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end
of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones.
On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
other purposes.
A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows.
As a consequence of the commit:
commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e
Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
Date: Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800
x86-64, mm: Put early page table high
at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages
area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls
in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument).
Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and
everything is fine.
Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and
are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).
In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
ranges are RO).
For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we
used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other
purposes.
On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it
also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but
that haven't been used before.
Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if
(xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen
counterpart, but that is just nasty.

This fixes problems seen on UV systems handling NMIs from the
node controller.
I isolated the "dazed..." messages that I saw earlier to a bug in
the BMC on our platform. It was sending NMIs w/o properly setting
a register that indicated the source of NMI.
So rather than _assuming_ any unhandled NMI came from the UV system
maintenance console (SMC), add a check to verify that the SMC actually
sent the NMI.

We use io_apic_setup_irq_pin() in order to configure pin's interrupt
number polarity and type. This is done on every irq_create_of_mapping()
which happens for instance during pci enable calls. Level typed
interrupts are masked by default, edge are unmasked.
On the first ->xlate() call the level interrupt is configured and
masked. The driver calls request_irq() and the line is unmasked. Lets
assume the interrupt line is shared with another device and we call
pci_enable_device() for this device. The ->xlate() configures the pin
again and it is masked. request_irq() does not unmask the line because
it _is_ already unmasked according to its internal state. So the
interrupt will never be unmasked again.
This patch is based on an earlier work by Torben Hohn and solves the
problem by configuring the pin only once. Since all devices must agree
on the same type and polarity there is no point in configuring the pin
more than once.

The cpu<->node mappings under CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y
when NUMA emulation is enabled is currently broken because it does
not iterate through every emulated node and bind cpus that have
affinity to it.
NUMA emulation should bind each cpu to every local node to
accurately represent the true NUMA topology of the underlying
machine.
debug_cpumask_set_cpu() needs to be fixed at the same time so
that the debugging information that it emits shows the new
cpumask of the node being assigned when the cpu is being added
or removed.
It can now take responsibility of setting or clearing the cpu
itself to remove the need for duplicate code.
Also change its last parameter, "enable", to have the correct bool
type since it can only be true or false.

This patch disables GartTlbWlk errors on AMD Fam10h CPUs if
the BIOS forgets to do is (or is just too old). Letting
these errors enabled can cause a sync-flood on the CPU
causing a reboot.

Stop including <linux/delay.h> in x86 header files which don't
need it. This will let the compiler complain when this header is
not included by source files when it should, so that
contributors can fix the problem before building on other

minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by
other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different
on each architecture like below:
m68k:
big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps
h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode
little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode
Others:
little-endian bitmaps
In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture
independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use
native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu,
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa). The architectures which always use little-endian
bitmaps do not select these options.
Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all
architectures.

Not all 64-bit systems require ISA-style DMA, so allow it to be
configurable. x86 utilizes the generic ISA DMA allocator from
kernel/dma.c, so require it only when CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API is enabled.
Disabling CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API is dependent on x86_64 since those machines
do not have ISA slots and benefit the most from disabling the option (and
on CONFIG_EXPERT as required by H. Peter Anvin).
When disabled, this also avoids declaring claim_dma_lock(),
release_dma_lock(), request_dma(), and free_dma() since those interfaces
will no longer be provided.

It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all
mounted file systems via sync(2):
- On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of
them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on
those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /).
- Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then
want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each
file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large
amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file
system.
There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block:
- BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev
mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block
file systems.
- 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the
current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for
something like data safety sounds foolish.
Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications
do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged
operation.
This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and
syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can
$ sync /some/path
and not get
sync: ignoring all arguments
The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF.
syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).
A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see

According to intel CPU manual, every time PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE
mode, we need do a full TLB flush. Current code follows this and there is
comment for this too in the code.
But current code misses the multi-threaded case. A changed page table
might be used by several CPUs, every such CPU should flush TLB. Usually
this isn't a problem, because we prepopulate all PGD entries at process
fork. But when the process does munmap and follows new mmap, this issue
will be triggered.
When it happens, some CPUs keep doing page faults:

Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.
However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.
Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.
This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.
End result looks like below:

A correction to Intel cpu model CPUID data (patch queued)
caused winxp to BSOD when booted with a Penryn model.
This was traced to the CPUID "model" field correction from
6 -> 23 (as is proper for a Penryn class of cpu). Only in
this case does the problem surface.
The cause for this failure is winxp accessing the BBL_CR_CTL3
MSR which is unsupported by current kvm, appears to be a
legacy MSR not fully characterized yet existing in current
silicon, and is apparently carried forward in MSR space to
accommodate vintage code as here. It is not yet conclusive
whether this MSR implements any of its legacy functionality
or is just an ornamental dud for compatibility. While I
found no silicon version specific documentation link to
this MSR, a general description exists in Intel's developer's
reference which agrees with the functional behavior of
other bootloader/kernel code I've examined accessing
BBL_CR_CTL3. Regrettably winxp appears to be setting bit #19
called out as "reserved" in the above document.
So to minimally accommodate this MSR, kvm msr get will provide
the equivalent mock data and kvm msr write will simply toss the
guest passed data without interpretation. While this treatment
of BBL_CR_CTL3 addresses the immediate problem, the approach may
be modified pending clarification from Intel.
