Intel CPUs have an additional MSR bit to indicate if the BIOS was
configured to disable the NX cpu feature. This bit was traditionally
used for operating systems that did not understand how to handle the
NX bit. Since Linux understands this, this BIOS flag should be ignored
by default.
In a review[1] of reported hardware being used by Ubuntu bug reporters,
almost 10% of systems had an incorrectly configured BIOS, leaving their
systems unable to use the NX features of their CPU.
This change will clear the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_XD_DISABLE bit so that NX
cannot be inappropriately controlled by the BIOS on Intel CPUs. If, under
very strange hardware configurations, NX actually needs to be disabled,
"noexec=off" can be used to restore the prior behavior.

x86: Check irq_remapped instead of remapping_enabled in destroy_irq()
Russ Anderson reported:
| There is a regression that is causing a NULL pointer dereference
| in free_irte when shutting down xpc. git bisect narrowed it down
| to git commit d585d06(intr_remap: Simplify the code further), which
| changed free_irte(). Reverse applying the patch fixes the problem.
We need to use irq_remapped() for each irq instead of checking only
intr_remapping_enabled as there might be non remapped irqs even when
remapping is enabled.

Currently, text_poke_smp() passes a NULL as the third argument to
__stop_machine(), which will only run stop_machine_text_poke()
on 1 cpu. Change NULL -> cpu_online_mask, as stop_machine_text_poke()
is intended to be run on all cpus.
I actually didn't notice any problems with stop_machine_text_poke()
only being called on 1 cpu, but found this via code inspection.

On i386 (not x86_64) early implementations of gcc would have a bug
with asm goto causing it to produce code like the following:
(This was noticed by Peter Zijlstra)
56 pushl 0
67 nopl jmp 0x6f
popl
jmp 0x8c
6f mov
test
je 0x8c
8c mov
call *(%esp)
The jump added in the asm goto skipped over the popl that matched
the pushl 0, which lead up to a quick crash of the system when
the jump was enabled. The nopl is defined in the asm goto () statement
and when tracepoints are enabled, the nop changes to a jump to the label
that was specified by the asm goto. asm goto is suppose to tell gcc that
the code in the asm might jump to an external label. Here gcc obviously
fails to make that work.
The bug report for gcc is here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46226
The bug only appears on x86 when not compiled with
-maccumulate-outgoing-args. This option is always set on x86_64 and it
is also the work around for a function graph tracer i386 bug.
(See commit: 746357d6a5)
This explains why the bug only showed up on i386 when function graph
tracer was not enabled.
This patch now adds a CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL option that is default
off instead of using jump labels by default. When jump labels are
enabled, the -maccumulate-outgoing-args will be used (causing a
slightly larger kernel image on i386). This option will exist
until we have a way to detect if the gcc compiler in use is safe
to use on all configurations without the work around.
Note, there exists such a test, but for now we will keep the enabling
of jump label as a manual option.
Archs that know the compiler is safe with asm goto, may choose to
select JUMP_LABEL and enable it by default.

Using alloc_pages_node() instead of __get_free_pages() is safe,

Xen can reserve huge amounts of memory for pre-ballooning, but that
still shows as RAM in the e820 memory map. early_node_mem could not
find range because of start/end adjusting, and will go through the
fallback path. However, the fallback patch is still using
memblock_x86_find_range_node(), and it is partially top-down because
it go through active_range entries from low to high.
Let's use memblock_find_in_range instead memblock_x86_find_range_node.
So get real top down in fallback path.
We may still need to make memblock_x86_find_range_node to do overall
top_down work.

Christoph reported a nice splat which illustrated a race in the new stack
based kmap_atomic implementation.
The problem is that we pop our stack slot before we're completely done
resetting its state -- in particular clearing the PTE (sometimes that's
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM). If an interrupt happens before we actually clear
the PTE used for the last slot, that interrupt can reuse the slot in a
dirty state, which triggers a BUG in kmap_atomic().
Fix this by introducing kmap_atomic_idx() which reports the current slot
index without actually releasing it and use that to find the PTE and delay
the _pop() until after we're completely done.

This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.
It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.
It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.
Tests:
- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
before, 15000 iterations/s after.
- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
significant performance regressions when running without this change.

Since we no longer need to provide KM_type, the whole pte_*map_nested()
API is now redundant, remove it.

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.
The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)
and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.
The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

Request that allocate_resource() use available space from high addresses
first, rather than the default of using low addresses first.
The most common place this makes a difference is when we move or assign
new PCI device resources. Low addresses are generally scarce, so it's
better to use high addresses when possible. This follows Windows practice
for PCI allocation.

The iomem_resource map reflects the available physical address space.
We statically initialize the end to -1, i.e., 0xffffffff_ffffffff, but
of course we can only use as much as the CPU can address.
This patch updates the end based on the CPU capabilities, so we don't
mistakenly allocate space that isn't usable, as we're likely to do when
allocating from the top-down.

Allocate from the end of a region, not the beginning.
For example, if we need to allocate 0x800 bytes for a device on bus
0000:00 given these resources:
[mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
[mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02
the available space at [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] is passed to the
alignment callback (pcibios_align_resource()). Prior to this patch, we
would put the new 0x800 byte resource at the beginning of that available
space, i.e., at [mem 0xbff00000-0xbff007ff].
With this patch, we put it at the end, at [mem 0xbffff800-0xbfffffff].

Enable Westmere support on SGI UV. The UV initialization code is dependent on
the APICID bits. Westmere-EX uses different APIC bit mapping than Nehalem-EX.
This code reads the apic shift value from a UV MMR to do the proper bit
decoding to determint the pnode.

Pv guests don't have ACPI and need the cpu masks to be set
correctly as early as possible so we call xen_fill_possible_map from
xen_smp_init.
On the other hand the initial domain supports ACPI so in this case we skip
xen_fill_possible_map and rely on it. However Xen might limit the number
of cpus usable by the domain, so we filter those masks during smp
initialization using the VCPUOP_is_up hypercall.
It is important that the filtering is done before
xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement.
