2008-07-08x86/paravirt: split sysret and sysexitJeremy Fitzhardinge
Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD system). sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts. sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citirx.com> Cc: xen-devel <xen-devel@lists.xensource.com> Cc: Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com> Cc: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Cc: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-07-08x86: use __KERNEL_DS as SS when returning to a kernel threadJeremy Fitzhardinge
This is needed when the kernel is running on RING3, such as under Xen. x86_64 has a weird feature that makes it #GP on iret when SS is a null descriptor. This need to be tested on bare metal to make sure it doesn't cause any problems. AMD specs say SS is always ignored (except on iret?).

2008-07-08x86, 64-bit: adjust mapping of physical pagetables to work with XenJeremy Fitzhardinge
This makes a few of changes to the construction of the initial pagetables to work better with paravirt_ops/Xen. The main areas are: 1. Support non-PSE mapping of memory, since Xen doesn't currently allow 2M pages to be mapped in guests. 2. Make sure that the ioremap alias of all pages are dropped before attaching the new page to the pagetable. This avoids having writable aliases of pagetable pages. 3. Preserve existing pagetable entries, rather than overwriting. Its possible that a fair amount of pagetable has already been constructed, so reuse what's already in place rather than ignoring and overwriting it. The algorithm relies on the invariant that any page which is part of the kernel pagetable is itself mapped in the linear memory area. This way, it can avoid using ioremap on a pagetable page. The invariant holds because it maps memory from low to high addresses, and also allocates memory from low to high. Each allocated page can map at least 2M of address space, so the mapped area will always progress much faster than the allocated area. It relies on the early boot code mapping enough pages to get started.

2008-07-08x86, 64-bit: split x86_64_start_kernelJeremy Fitzhardinge
Split x86_64_start_kernel() into two pieces: The first essentially cleans up after head_64.S. It clears the bss, zaps low identity mappings, sets up some early exception handlers. The second part preserves the boot data, reserves the kernel's text/data/bss, pagetables and ramdisk, and then starts the kernel proper. This split is so that Xen can call the second part to do the set up it needs done. It doesn't need any of the first part setups, because it doesn't boot via head_64.S, and its redundant or actively damaging.

2008-07-08paravirt/x86, 64-bit: move __PAGE_OFFSET to leave a space for hypervisorEduardo Habkost
Set __PAGE_OFFSET to the most negative possible address + 16*PGDIR_SIZE. The gap is to allow a space for a hypervisor to fit. The gap is more or less arbitrary, but it's what Xen needs. When booting native, kernel/head_64.S has a set of compile-time generated pagetables used at boot time. This patch removes their absolutely hard-coded layout, and makes it parameterised on __PAGE_OFFSET (and __START_KERNEL_map).

2008-07-08x86: preallocate and prepopulate separatelyJeremy Fitzhardinge
Jan Beulich points out that vmalloc_sync_all() assumes that the kernel's pmd is always expected to be present in the pgd. The current pgd construction code will add the pgd to the pgd_list before its pmds have been pre-populated, thereby making it visible to vmalloc_sync_all(). However, because pgd_prepopulate_pmd also does the allocation, it may block and cannot be done under spinlock. The solution is to preallocate the pmds out of the spinlock, then populate them while holding the pgd_list lock. This patch also pulls the pmd preallocation and mop-up functions out to be common, assuming that the compiler will generate no code for them when PREALLOCTED_PMDS is 0. Also, there's no need for pgd_ctor to clear the pgd again, since it's allocated as a zeroed page.

2008-07-08x86: simplify vmalloc_sync_allJeremy Fitzhardinge
vmalloc_sync_all() is only called from register_die_notifier and alloc_vm_area. Neither is on any performance-critical paths, so vmalloc_sync_all() itself is not on any hot paths. Given that the optimisations in vmalloc_sync_all add a fair amount of code and complexity, and are fairly hard to evaluate for correctness, it's better to just remove them to simplify the code rather than worry about its absolute performance.

Requiring this 'add_efi_memmap' option is backward compatible with kernels that didn't load such additional EFI memory map entries in the first place, and it doesn't override a configuration that tries to replace all E820 or EFI BIOS memory map entries with ones given entirely on the kernel command line.
