i.e. with this simple test case:

munmap(mmap((void *)0x40000000, 0x1000_LEN, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0), 0x1000);

We need to set up the shared_info pointer once we've mapped the real
shared_info into its fixmap slot. That needs to happen once the general
pagetable setup has been done. Previously, the UP shared_info was set
up one in xen_start_kernel, but that was left pointing to the dummy
shared info. Unfortunately there's no really good place to do a later
setup of the shared_info in UP, so just do it once the pagetable setup
has been done.

xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.
Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.
The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary. The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.
This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.

Construct Xen guest e820 map with a hole between 640K-1M.
It's pure luck that Xen kernels have gotten away with it in the past.

Based on patch from Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>.
Don't rely on kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) returning PAGE_SIZE aligned memory
(Xen requires GDT *and* LDT to be page-aligned). Using the page
allocator interface also removes the (albeit small) slab allocator
overhead. The same change being done for 64-bits for consistency.
Further, the Xen hypercall interface expects the LDT address to be
virtual, not machine.

Make sure pte_t, whatever its definition, has a pte element with type
pteval_t. This allows common code to access it without needing to be
specifically parameterised on what pagetable mode we're compiling for.
For 32-bit, this means that pte_t becomes a union with "pte" and "{
pte_low, pte_high }" (PAE) or just "pte_low" (non-PAE).

members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable
additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix
from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes
for segment registers on the 32-bit side.
This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional
places that might be candidates for unification in the future.

This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.
The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)
The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

_PAGE_PCD maps a page with caching disabled, which is typically used for
mapping harware registers. Xen never allows it to be set on a mapping, and
unprivileged guests never need it since they can't see the real underlying
hardware. However, some uncached mappings are made early when probing the
(non-existent) APIC, and its OK to mask off the PCD flag in these cases.
This became necessary because Xen started checking for this bit, rather
than silently masking it off.

Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.
/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.
This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:
rescheduling interrupts
TLB flush interrupts
function call interrupts
thermal event interrupts
threshold interrupts
spurious interrupts
A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.
Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.
A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.
Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.
AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

When a pagetable is created, it is made globally visible in the rmap
prio tree before it is pinned via arch_dup_mmap(), and remains in the
rmap tree while it is unpinned with arch_exit_mmap().
This means that other CPUs may race with the pinning/unpinning
process, and see a pte between when it gets marked RO and actually
pinned, causing any pte updates to fail with write-protect faults.
As a result, all pte pages must be properly locked, and only unlocked
once the pinning/unpinning process has finished.
In order to avoid taking spinlocks for the whole pagetable - which may
overflow the PREEMPT_BITS portion of preempt counter - it locks and pins
each pte page individually, and then finally pins the whole pagetable.

When a pagetable is no longer in use, it must be unpinned so that its
pages can be freed. However, this is only possible if there are no
stray uses of the pagetable. The code currently deals with all the
usual cases, but there's a rare case where a vcpu is changing cr3, but
is doing so lazily, and the change hasn't actually happened by the time
the pagetable is unpinned, even though it appears to have been completed.
This change adds a second per-cpu cr3 variable - xen_current_cr3 -
which tracks the actual state of the vcpu cr3. It is only updated once
the actual hypercall to set cr3 has been completed. Other processors
wishing to unpin a pagetable can check other vcpu's xen_current_cr3
values to see if any cross-cpu IPIs are needed to clean things up.

This adds a mechanism to register a callback function to be called once
a batch of hypercalls has been issued. This is typically used to unlock
things which must remain locked until the hypercall has taken place.

Currently, the set_lazy_mode pv_op is overloaded with 5 functions:
1. enter lazy cpu mode
2. leave lazy cpu mode
3. enter lazy mmu mode
4. leave lazy mmu mode
5. flush pending batched operations
This complicates each paravirt backend, since it needs to deal with
all the possible state transitions, handling flushing, etc. In
particular, flushing is quite distinct from the other 4 functions, and
seems to just cause complication.
This patch removes the set_lazy_mode operation, and adds "enter" and
"leave" lazy mode operations on mmu_ops and cpu_ops. All the logic
associated with enter and leaving lazy states is now in common code
(basically BUG_ONs to make sure that no mode is current when entering
a lazy mode, and make sure that the mode is current when leaving).
Also, flush is handled in a common way, by simply leaving and
re-entering the lazy mode.
The result is that the Xen, lguest and VMI lazy mode implementations
are much simpler.
