Pull x86/mm changes from Peter Anvin:
"The big change here is the patchset by Alex Shi to use INVLPG to flush
only the affected pages when we only need to flush a small page range.
It also removes the special INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR interrupts (32

Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Features:
* Performance improvement to lower the amount of traps the hypervisor
has to do 32-bit guests. Mainly for setting PTE entries and
updating TLS descriptors.
* MCE polling driver to collect hypervisor MCE buffer and present
them to /dev/mcelog.
* Physical CPU online/offline support. When an privileged guest is
booted it is present with virtual CPUs, which might have an 1:1 to
physical CPUs but usually don't. This provides mechanism to
offline/online physical CPUs.
Bug-fixes for:
* Coverity found fixes in the console and ACPI processor driver.
* PVonHVM kexec fixes along with some cleanups.
* Pages that fall within E820 gaps and non-RAM regions (and had been
released to hypervisor) would be populated back, but potentially in
non-RAM regions."

When populate pages across a mem boundary at bootup, the page count
populated isn't correct. This is due to mem populated to non-mem

Pfn range is also wrongly aligned when mem boundary isn't page aligned.

Currently kexec in a PVonHVM guest fails with a triple fault because the
new kernel overwrites the shared info page. The exact failure depends on
the size of the kernel image. This patch moves the pfn from RAM into
MMIO space before the kexec boot.
The pfn containing the shared_info is located somewhere in RAM. This
will cause trouble if the current kernel is doing a kexec boot into a
new kernel. The new kernel (and its startup code) can not know where the
pfn is, so it can not reserve the page. The hypervisor will continue to
update the pfn, and as a result memory corruption occours in the new
kernel.
One way to work around this issue is to allocate a page in the
xen-platform pci device's BAR memory range. But pci init is done very
late and the shared_info page is already in use very early to read the
pvclock. So moving the pfn from RAM to MMIO is racy because some code
paths on other vcpus could access the pfn during the small window when
the old pfn is moved to the new pfn. There is even a small window were
the old pfn is not backed by a mfn, and during that time all reads
return -1.
Because it is not known upfront where the MMIO region is located it can
not be used right from the start in xen_hvm_init_shared_info.
To minimise trouble the move of the pfn is done shortly before kexec.
This does not eliminate the race because all vcpus are still online when
the syscore_ops will be called. But hopefully there is no work pending
at this point in time. Also the syscore_op is run last which reduces the
risk further.

When switching tasks in a Xen PV guest, avoid updating the TLS
descriptors if they haven't changed. This improves the speed of
context switches by almost 10% as much of the time the descriptors are
the same or only one is different.
The descriptors written into the GDT by Xen are modified from the
values passed in the update_descriptor hypercall so we keep shadow
copies of the three TLS descriptors to compare against.

When constructing the initial page tables, if the MFN for a usable PFN
is missing in the p2m then that frame is initially ballooned out. In
this case, zero the PTE (as in decrease_reservation() in
drivers/xen/balloon.c).
This is obviously safe instead of having an valid PTE with an MFN of
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (~0).

In xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailable (because the caller is in
an interrupt context such as handling a page fault) it would fall back
to using native_set_pte() and trapping and emulating the PTE write.
On 32-bit guests this requires two traps for each PTE write (one for
each dword of the PTE). Instead, do one mmu_update hypercall
directly.
During construction of the initial page tables, continue to use
native_set_pte() because most of the PTEs being set are in writable
and unpinned pages (see phys_pmd_init() in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c) and
using a hypercall for this is very expensive.
This significantly improves page fault performance in 32-bit PV
guests.

When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first,
and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging.
This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert
Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically
self-contained, not touching other kernel components.
By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information,
like what they did under native Linux.

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.

Pull five Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
- When booting as PVHVM we would try to use PV console - but would not validate
the parameters causing us to crash during restore b/c we re-use the wrong event
channel.
- When booting on machines with SR-IOV PCI bridge we didn't check for the bridge
and tried to use it.
- Under AMD machines would advertise the APERFMPERF resulting in needless amount
of MSRs from the guest.
- A global value (xen_released_pages) was not subtracted at bootup when pages
were added back in. This resulted in the balloon worker having the wrong
account of how many pages were truly released.
- Fix dead-lock when xen-blkfront is run in the same domain as xen-blkback.

When the frontend and the backend reside on the same domain, even if we
add pages to the m2p_override, these pages will never be returned by
mfn_to_pfn because the check "get_phys_to_machine(pfn) != mfn" will
always fail, so the pfn of the frontend will be returned instead
(resulting in a deadlock because the frontend pages are already locked).

The explanation is in the comment within the code:
We need to do this because the pages shared by the frontend
(xen-blkfront) can be already locked (lock_page, called by
do_read_cache_page); when the userspace backend tries to use them
with direct_IO, mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the frontend, so
do_blockdev_direct_IO is going to try to lock the same pages
again resulting in a deadlock.
A simplified call graph looks like this:
pygrub QEMU
-----------------------------------------------
do_read_cache_page io_submit
| |
lock_page ext3_direct_IO
|
bio_add_page
|
lock_page
Internally the xen-blkback uses m2p_add_override to swizzle (temporarily)
a 'struct page' to have a different MFN (so that it can point to another
guest). It also can easily find out whether another pfn corresponding
to the mfn exists in the m2p, and can set the FOREIGN bit
in the p2m, making sure that mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the backend.
This allows the backend to perform direct_IO on these pages, but as a
side effect prevents the frontend from using get_user_pages_fast on
them while they are being shared with the backend.

ipi_call_lock/unlock() lock resp. unlock call_function.lock. This lock
protects only the call_function data structure itself, but it's
completely unrelated to cpu_online_mask. The mask to which the IPIs
are sent is calculated before call_function.lock is taken in
smp_call_function_many(), so the locking around set_cpu_online() is
pointless and can be removed.

Xen PV kernels allow access to the APERF/MPERF registers to read the
effective frequency. Access to the MSRs is however redirected to the
currently scheduled physical CPU, making consecutive read and
compares unreliable. In addition each rdmsr traps into the hypervisor.
So to avoid bogus readouts and expensive traps, disable the kernel
internal feature flag for APERF/MPERF if running under Xen.
This will
a) remove the aperfmperf flag from /proc/cpuinfo
b) not mislead the power scheduler (arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sched.c) to
use the feature to improve scheduling (by default disabled)
c) not mislead the cpufreq driver to use the MSRs
This does not cover userland programs which access the MSRs via the
device file interface, but this will be addressed separately.

that we had populated back (instead we just did a simple
extra_pages = released - populated).
The balloon driver uses xen_released_pages to set the initial
current_pages count. If this is wrong (too low) then when a new
(higher) target is set, the balloon driver will request too many pages
from Xen."
This fixes errors such as:
(XEN) memory.c:133:d0 Could not allocate order=0 extent: id=0 memflags=0 (51 of 512)
during bootup and
free_memory : 0
where the free_memory should be 128.

Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
exception table, to speed up booting. This is achieved by the
architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled
for x86 and MIPS currently.
On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out
of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
assumptions about the x86 exception table format.
While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
rdmsr_safe() et al.
All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
now pretty nice and modern. As an added bonus any regressions in this
code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
you'll know whom to blame!"

In xen_memory_setup(), if a page that is being released has a VA
mapping this must also be updated. Otherwise, the page will be not
released completely -- it will still be referenced in Xen and won't be
freed util the mapping is removed and this prevents it from being
reallocated at a different PFN.
This was already being done for the ISA memory region in
xen_ident_map_ISA() but on many systems this was omitting a few pages
as many systems marked a few pages below the ISA memory region as
reserved in the e820 map.
This fixes errors such as:
(XEN) page_alloc.c:1148:d0 Over-allocation for domain 0: 2097153 > 2097152
(XEN) memory.c:133:d0 Could not allocate order=0 extent: id=0 memflags=0 (0 of 17)

When the Xen hypervisor boots a PV kernel it hands it two pieces
of information: nr_pages and a made up E820 entry.
The nr_pages value defines the range from zero to nr_pages of PFNs
which have a valid Machine Frame Number (MFN) underneath it. The
E820 mirrors that (with the VGA hole):
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000080800000 (usable)
The fun comes when a PV guest that is run with a machine E820 - that
can either be the initial domain or a PCI PV guest, where the E820
looks like the normal thing:
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009e000 (usable)
Xen: 000000000009ec00 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000020000000 (usable)
Xen: 0000000020000000 - 0000000020200000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000020200000 - 0000000040000000 (usable)
Xen: 0000000040000000 - 0000000040200000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000040200000 - 00000000bad80000 (usable)
Xen: 00000000bad80000 - 00000000badc9000 (ACPI NVS)
..
With that overlaying the nr_pages directly on the E820 does not
work as there are gaps and non-RAM regions that won't be used
by the memory allocator. The 'xen_release_chunk' helps with that
by punching holes in the P2M (PFN to MFN lookup tree) for those
regions and tells us that:
Freeing 20000-20200 pfn range: 512 pages freed
Freeing 40000-40200 pfn range: 512 pages freed
Freeing bad80-badf4 pfn range: 116 pages freed
Freeing badf6-bae7f pfn range: 137 pages freed
Freeing bb000-100000 pfn range: 282624 pages freed
Released 283999 pages of unused memory
Those 283999 pages are subtracted from the nr_pages and are returned
to the hypervisor. The end result is that the initial domain
boots with 1GB less memory as the nr_pages has been subtracted by
the amount of pages residing within the PCI hole. It can balloon up
to that if desired using 'xl mem-set 0 8092', but the balloon driver
is not always compiled in for the initial domain.
This patch, implements the populate hypercall (XENMEM_populate_physmap)
which increases the the domain with the same amount of pages that
were released.
The other solution (that did not work) was to transplant the MFN in
the P2M tree - the ones that were going to be freed were put in
the E820_RAM regions past the nr_pages. But the modifications to the
M2P array (the other side of creating PTEs) were not carried away.
As the hypervisor is the only one capable of modifying that and the
only two hypercalls that would do this are: the update_va_mapping
(which won't work, as during initial bootup only PFNs up to nr_pages
are mapped in the guest) or via the populate hypercall.
The end result is that the kernel can now boot with the
nr_pages without having to subtract the 283999 pages.
On a 8GB machine, with various dom0_mem= parameters this is what we get:
no dom0_mem
-Memory: 6485264k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 1813812k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init)

RDX: 0000800000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffc7fffffff000
which is due to the fact we are trying to access a PFN that is not
accessible to us. The reason (at least in this case) was that
PGD[256] is set to __HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START which was setup (by the
hypervisor) to point to a read-only linear map of the MFN->PFN array.
During our parsing we would get the MFN (a valid one), try to look
it up in the MFN->PFN tree and find it invalid and return ~0 as PFN.
Then pte_mfn_to_pfn would happilly feed that in, attach the flags
and return it back to the caller. 'ptdump_show' bitshifts it and
gets and invalid value that it tries to dereference.
Instead of doing all of that, we detect the ~0 case and just
return !_PAGE_PRESENT.

On x86_64 on AMD machines where the first APIC_ID is not zero, we get:
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x10] enabled)
BIOS bug: APIC version is 0 for CPU 1/0x10, fixing up to 0x10
BIOS bug: APIC version mismatch, boot CPU: 0, CPU 1: version 10
which means that when the ACPI processor driver loads and
tries to parse the _Pxx states it fails to do as, as it
ends up calling acpi_get_cpuid which does this:
for_each_possible_cpu(i) {
if (cpu_physical_id(i) == apic_id)
return i;
}
And the bootup CPU, has not been found so it fails and returns -1
for the first CPU - which then subsequently in the loop that
"acpi_processor_get_info" does results in returning an error, which
means that "acpi_processor_add" failing and per_cpu(processor)
is never set (and is NULL).
That means that when xen-acpi-processor tries to load (much much
later on) and parse the P-states it gets -ENODEV from
acpi_processor_register_performance() (which tries to read
the per_cpu(processor)) and fails to parse the data.

In xen_restore_fl_direct(), xen_force_evtchn_callback() was being
called even if no events were pending. This resulted in (depending on
workload) about a 100 times as many xen_version hypercalls as
necessary.
Fix this by correcting the sense of the conditional jump.
This seems to give a significant performance benefit for some
workloads.
There is some subtle tricksy "..since the check here is trying to
check both pending and masked in a single cmpw, but I think this is
correct. It will call check_events now only when the combined
mask+pending word is 0x0001 (aka unmasked, pending)." (Ian)

With this patch, we cap the amount of vCPUS that the initial domain
can run, to exactly what dom0_max_vcpus=X has specified.
In the future, if there is a hypercall that will allow a running
domain to expand past its initial set of vCPUS, this patch should
be re-evaluated.

There are exactly four users of __monitor and __mwait:
- cstate.c (which allows acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_enter to be called
when the cpuidle API drivers are used. However patch
"cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle"
provides a mechanism to disable the cpuidle and use safe_halt.
- smpboot (which allows mwait_play_dead to be called). However
safe_halt is always used so we skip that.
- intel_idle (same deal as above).
- acpi_pad.c. This the one that we do not want to run as we
will hit the below crash.
Why do we want to expose MWAIT_LEAF in the first place?
We want it for the xen-acpi-processor driver - which uploads
C-states to the hypervisor. If MWAIT_LEAF is set, the cstate.c
sets the proper address in the C-states so that the hypervisor
can benefit from using the MWAIT functionality. And that is
the sole reason for using it.
Without this patch, if a module performs mwait or monitor we
get this:

Remove open-coded exception table entries in arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S,
and replace them with _ASM_EXTABLE() macros; this will allow us to
change the format and type of the exception table entries.

This reverts commit b960d6c43a63ebd2d8518b328da3816b833ee8cc.
If we have another thread (very likely) touched the list, we
end up hitting a problem "that the next element is wrong because
we should be able to cope with that. The problem is that the
next->next pointer would be set LIST_POISON1. " (Stefano's
comment on the patch).
Reverting for now.
