2011-09-15asm alternatives: remove incorrect alignment notesLinus Torvalds
On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16 bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much. However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit 59e97e4d6fbc ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative"). So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good idea. On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and rwsem). That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section, causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction replacement. So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious bug to begin with.

2011-09-13xen/e820: if there is no dom0_mem=, don't tweak extra_pages.David Vrabel
The patch "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM" (d312ae878b6aed3912e1acaaf5d0b2a9d08a4f11) breaks machines that do not use 'dom0_mem=' argument with: reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff (XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: ... The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the 'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed). The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages' using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation: return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES); and use it: extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages(); if (extra_limit >= max_pfn) extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn; else extra_pages = 0; which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432) - 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller), and then we add that value to the E820 making it: Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable) which is clearly wrong. It should look as so: Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000027fbda000 (usable) Naturally this problem does not present itself if dom0_mem=max:X is used.

2011-09-01xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAMDavid Vrabel
Use the domain's maximum reservation to limit the amount of extra RAM for the memory balloon. This reduces the size of the pages tables and the amount of reserved low memory (which defaults to about 1/32 of the total RAM). On a system with 8 GiB of RAM with the domain limited to 1 GiB the kernel reports: Before: Memory: 627792k/4472000k available After: Memory: 549740k/11132224k available A increase of about 76 MiB (~1.5% of the unused 7 GiB). The reserved low memory is also reduced from 253 MiB to 32 MiB. The total additional usable RAM is 329 MiB. For dom0, this requires at patch to Xen ('x86: use 'dom0_mem' to limit the number of pages for dom0') (c/s 23790) CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes errors if the system call as to be restarted. For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower entry point for a post-restart.

2011-08-17xen/x86: replace order-based range checking of M2P table by linear oneJan Beulich
The order-based approach is not only less efficient (requiring a shift and a compare, typical generated code looking like this mov eax, [machine_to_phys_order] mov ecx, eax shr ebx, cl test ebx, ebx jnz ... whereas a direct check requires just a compare, like in cmp ebx, [machine_to_phys_nr] jae ... ), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being unknown what may actually be mapped there). Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit boundary.

2011-08-10x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameterAndy Lutomirski
There are three choices: vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the corresponding syscalls. vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read that code. vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

2011-08-10x86-64: Wire up getcpu syscallAndy Lutomirski
getcpu is available as a vdso entry and an emulated vsyscall. Programs that for some reason don't want to use the vdso should still be able to call getcpu without relying on the slow emulated vsyscall. It costs almost nothing to expose it as a real syscall. We also need this for the following patch in vsyscall=native mode.

2011-08-05x86, UV: Remove UV delay in starting slave cpusJack Steiner
Delete the 10 msec delay between the INIT and SIPI when starting slave cpus. I can find no requirement for this delay. BIOS also has similar code sequences without the delay. Removing the delay reduces boot time by 40 sec. Every bit helps.

2011-08-05x86, olpc: Wait for last byte of EC command to be acceptedPaul Fox
When executing EC commands, only waiting when there are still more bytes to write is usually fine. However, if the system suspends very quickly after a call to olpc_ec_cmd(), the last data byte may not yet be transferred to the EC, and the command will not complete. This solves a bug where the SCI wakeup mask was not correctly written when going into suspend. It means that sometimes, on XO-1.5 (but not XO-1), the devices that were marked as wakeup sources can't wake up the system. e.g. you ask for wifi wakeups, suspend, but then incoming wifi frames don't wake up the system as they should.

2011-08-04x86-64: Add user_64bit_mode paravirt opAndy Lutomirski
Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3 selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq changes cs to the magic value 0xe033. Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling" (c9712944b2a12373cb6ff8059afcfb7e826a6c54), vsyscalls will segfault if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when older init builds die. It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

2011-08-04x86-64: Work around gold bug 13023Andy Lutomirski
Gold has trouble assigning numbers to the location counter inside of an output section description. The bug was triggered by 9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7, which consolidated all of the vsyscall sections into a single section. The workaround is IMO still nicer than the old way of doing it. This produces an apparently valid kernel image and passes my vdso tests on both GNU ld version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118 and GNU gold (version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118) 1.10 as distributed by Fedora 15.
