hypervisor
Make __FIXADDR_TOP a variable, so that it can be set to not get in the way of
address space a hypervisor may want to reserve.

I keep seeing zones on various platforms that are never used and wonder why we
compile support for them into the kernel. Counters show up for HIGHMEM and
DMA32 that are alway zero.
This patch allows the removal of ZONE_DMA32 for non x86_64 architectures and
it will get rid of ZONE_HIGHMEM for arches not using highmem (like 64 bit
architectures). If an arch does not define CONFIG_HIGHMEM then ZONE_HIGHMEM
will not be defined. Similarly if an arch does not define CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32
then ZONE_DMA32 will not be defined.
No current architecture uses all the 4 zones (DMA,DMA32,NORMAL,HIGH) that we
have now. The patchset will reduce the number of zones for all platforms.
On many platforms that do not have DMA32 or HIGHMEM this will reduce the
number of zones by 50%. F.e. ia64 only uses DMA and NORMAL.
Large amounts of memory can be saved for larger systemss that may have a few
hundred NUMA nodes.
With ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_HIGHMEM support optional MAX_NR_ZONES will be 2 for
many non i386 platforms and even for i386 without CONFIG_HIGHMEM set.
Tested on ia64, x86_64 and on i386 with and without highmem.
The patchset consists of 11 patches that are following this message.
One could go even further than this patchset and also make ZONE_DMA optional
because some platforms do not need a separate DMA zone and can do DMA to all
of memory. This could reduce MAX_NR_ZONES to 1. Such a patchset will
hopefully follow soon.
This patch:
Fix strange uses of MAX_NR_ZONES
Sometimes we use MAX_NR_ZONES - x to refer to a zone. Make that explicit.

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.
This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:
1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/
2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone
actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]
3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h
4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).
5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
except one where it has subtle humor value.
AK: readded acpi_sci handling which was completely dropped
AK: moved some more variables into acpi/boot.c

Move initialization of all memory end variables to as early as
possible, so that dependent code doesn't need to check whether these
variables have already been set.
Change the range check in kunmap_atomic to actually make use of this
so that the no-mapping-estabished path (under CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM)
gets used only when the address is inside the lowmem area (and BUG()
otherwise).

Change the name of old add_memory() to arch_add_memory. And use node id to
get pgdat for the node at NODE_DATA().
Note: Powerpc's old add_memory() is defined as __devinit. However,
add_memory() is usually called only after bootup.
I suppose it may be redundant. But, I'm not well known about powerpc.
So, I keep it. (But, __meminit is better at least.)

Memory hotadd doesn't need SPARSEMEM, but can be handled by just preallocating
mem_maps. This only needs some untangling of ifdefs to enable the necessary
code even without SPARSEMEM.

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.
Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.
The changes in detail:
* The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
the SMP alternatives code is added there.
* The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
.smp_altinstructions
like .altinstructions, also contains a list
of alt_instr structs.
.smp_altinstr_replacement
like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
save original instruction before replaving it.
.smp_locks
list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
out on UP.
The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible
to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
* The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
can be free if they are not needed.
* Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().
This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
to play around with page->_count.

Also, setting PDPEs in PAE mode does not require atomic operations, since the
PDPEs are cached by the processor, and only reloaded on an explicit or
implicit reload of CR3.
Since the four PDPEs must always be present in an active root, and the kernel
PDPE is never updated, we are safe even from SMIs and interrupts / NMIs using
task gates (which reload CR3). Actually, much of this is moot, since the user
PDPEs are never updated either, and the only usage of task gates is by the
doublefault handler. It appears the only place PGDs get updated in PAE mode
is in init_low_mappings() / zap_low_mapping() for initial page table creation
and recovery from ACPI sleep state, and these sites are safe by inspection.
Getting rid of the cmpxchg8b saves code space and 720 cycles in pgd_alloc on
P4.

The memory descriptors that comprise the EFI memory map are not fixed in
stone such that the size could change in the future. This uses the memory
descriptor size obtained from EFI to iterate over the memory map entries
during boot. This enables the removal of an x86 specific pad (and ifdef)
in the EFI header. I also couldn't stomach the broken up nature of the
function to put EFI runtime calls into virtual mode any longer so I fixed
that up a bit as well.
For reference, this patch only impacts x86.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
