2011-07-22lguest: use a special 1:1 linear pagetable mode until first switch.Rusty Russell
The Host used to create some page tables for the Guest to use at the top of Guest memory; it would then tell the Guest where this was. In particular, it created linear mappings for 0 and 0xC0000000 addresses because lguest used to switch to its real page tables quite late in boot. However, since d50d8fe19 Linux initialized boot page tables in head_32.S even before the "are we lguest?" boot jump. So, now we can simplify things: the Host pagetable code assumes 1:1 linear mapping until it first calls the LHCALL_NEW_PGTABLE hypercall, which we now do before we reach C code. This also means that the Host doesn't need to know anything about the Guest's PAGE_OFFSET. (Non-Linux guests might not even have such a thing). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Rebooting on the Dell E5420 often hangs with the keyboard or ACPI methods, but is reliable via the PCI method. [ hpa: this was deferred because we believed for a long time that the recent reshuffling of the boot priorities in commit 660e34cebf0a11d54f2d5dd8838607452355f321 fixed this platform.

2011-07-21x86: Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lockJan Beulich
The EFI specification requires that callers of the time related runtime functions serialize with other CMOS accesses in the kernel, as the EFI time functions may choose to also use the legacy CMOS RTC. Besides fixing a latent bug, this is a prerequisite to safely enable the rtc-efi driver for x86, which ought to be preferred over rtc-cmos on all EFI platforms.

2011-07-21x86: Serialize SMP bootup CMOS accesses on rtc_lockJan Beulich
With CPU hotplug, there is a theoretical race between other CMOS (namely RTC) accesses and those done in the SMP secondary processor bringup path. I am unware of the problem having been noticed by anyone in practice, but it would very likely be rather spurious and very hard to reproduce. So to be on the safe side, acquire rtc_lock around those accesses.

2011-07-21x86: Fix write lock scalability 64-bit issueJan Beulich
With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough). A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue. Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less nesting would suffice. However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened to 64 bits.

2011-07-15x86: Kill handle_signal()->set_fs()Oleg Nesterov
handle_signal()->set_fs() has a nice comment which explains what set_fs() is, but it doesn't explain why it is needed and why it depends on CONFIG_X86_64. Afaics, the history of this confusion is: 1. I guess today nobody can explain why it was needed in arch/i386/kernel/signal.c, perhaps it was always wrong. This predates 2.4.0 kernel. 2. then it was copy-and-past'ed to the new x86_64 arch. 3. then it was removed from i386 (but not from x86_64) by b93b6ca3 "i386: remove unnecessary code". 4. then it was reintroduced under CONFIG_X86_64 when x86 unified i386 and x86_64, because the patch above didn't touch x86_64. Remove it. ->addr_limit should be correct. Even if it was possible that it is wrong, it is too late to fix it after setup_rt_frame(). Linus commented in: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.0.999.0707170902570.19166@woody.linux-foundation.org ... about the equivalent bit from i386: Heh. I think it's entirely historical. Please realize that the whole reason that function is called "set_fs()" is that it literally used to set the %fs segment register, not "->addr_limit". So I think the "set_fs(USER_DS)" is there _only_ to match the other regs->xds = __USER_DS; regs->xes = __USER_DS; regs->xss = __USER_DS; regs->xcs = __USER_CS; things, and never mattered. And now it matters even less, and has been copied to all other architectures where it is just totally insane.

2011-07-15x86, do_signal: Simplify the TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK logicOleg Nesterov
1. do_signal() looks at TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and calculates the mask which should be stored in the signal frame, then it passes "oldset" to the callees, down to setup_rt_frame(). This is ugly, setup_rt_frame() can do this itself and nobody else needs this sigset_t. Move this code into setup_rt_frame. 2. do_signal() also clears TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK if handle_signal() succeeds. We can move this to setup_rt_frame() as well, this avoids the unnecessary checks and makes the logic more clear. 3. use set_current_blocked() instead of sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK), sigprocmask() should be avoided.

2011-07-14perf, x86: P4 PMU - Introduce event alias featureCyrill Gorcunov
Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only. The main idea remains the same though -- to allow nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously. Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some additional bits set inside ESCR register changing the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore that alias event will give the same result. P.S. Thanks a huge to Don and Steven for for testing and early review.
