Impact: quick start and stop of function tracer
This patch adds a way to disable the function tracer quickly without
the need to run kstop_machine. It adds a new variable called
function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount
when set. This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion
like preempt_disable().
It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing
fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine.
The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs
that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount
arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code.
x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this.

Impact: build fix for non-ftrace architectures
Not all archs implement ftrace, and therefore do not have an asm/ftrace.h.
This patch corrects the problem.
The ftrace_nmi_enter/exit now must be defined for all archs that implement
dynamic ftrace. Currently, only x86 does.

This makes the late e820 resources use 'insert_resource_expand_to_fit()'
instead of doing a 'reserve_region_with_split()', and also avoids
marking them as IORESOURCE_BUSY.
This results in us being perfectly happy to use pre-existing PCI
resources even if they were marked as being in a reserved region, while
still avoiding any _new_ allocations in the reserved regions. It also
makes for a simpler and more accurate resource tree.
Example resource allocation from Jonathan Corbet, who has firmware that
has an e820 reserved entry that covered a big range (e0000000-fed003ff),
and that had various PCI resources in it set up by firmware.
With old kernels, the reserved range would force us to re-allocate all
pre-existing PCI resources, and his reserved range would end up looking
like this:
e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
where only the pre-allocated special regions (IOAPIC and HPET) were kept
around.
With 2.6.28-rc2, which uses 'reserve_region_with_split()', Jonathan's
resource tree looked like this:
e0000000-fe7fffff : reserved
fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
fe800000-fe8fffff : reserved
fe900000-fe9d9aff : reserved
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : reserved
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : reserved
fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
fe9da000-fe9dafff : reserved
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : reserved
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : reserved
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : reserved
fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
fea00000-fea7ffff : reserved
fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
fea80000-feafffff : reserved
feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
feb00000-febfffff : reserved
fec00000-fed003ff : reserved
fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
and because the reserved entry had been split and moved into the
individual resources, and because it used the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag, the
drivers that actually wanted to _use_ those resources couldn't actually
attach to them:
e1000e 0000:00:19.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9e0000-0xfe9fffff]
HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9dc000-0xfe9dffff]
with this patch, the resource tree instead becomes
e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : ehci_hcd
fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : e1000e
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : ICH HD audio
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : e1000e
fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
ie the one reserved region now ends up surrounding all the PCI resources
that were allocated inside of it by firmware, and because it is not
marked BUSY, drivers have no problem attaching to the pre-allocated
resources.

| x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu array
We've had an extra field in cpuinfo_x86 which is cpu_index.
Unfortunately, voyager has never initialised this, although the only
noticeable impact seems to be that /proc/cpuinfo shows all zeros for
the processor ids.
Anyway, fix this by initialising the boot CPU properly and setting the
index when the secondaries update.

Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms
Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is
off
mmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the
introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like
the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even
when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26.
This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular
kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and
PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing
still happens if PAT is enabled.

Impact: fix crashes that can occur in NMI handlers, if their code is modified
Modifying code is something that needs special care. On SMP boxes,
if code that is being modified is also being executed on another CPU,
that CPU will have undefined results.
The dynamic ftrace uses kstop_machine to make the system act like a
uniprocessor system. But this does not address NMIs, that can still
run on other CPUs.
One approach to handle this is to make all code that are used by NMIs
not be traced. But NMIs can call notifiers that spread throughout the
kernel and this will be very hard to maintain, and the chance of missing
a function is very high.
The approach that this patch takes is to have the NMIs modify the code
if the modification is taking place. The way this works is that just
writing to code executing on another CPU is not harmful if what is
written is the same as what exists.
Two buffers are used: an IP buffer and a "code" buffer.
The steps that the patcher takes are:
1) Put in the instruction pointer into the IP buffer
and the new code into the "code" buffer.
2) Set a flag that says we are modifying code
3) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
4) Write the code
5) clear the flag.
6) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
If an NMI is executed, it will also write the pending code.
Multiple writes are OK, because what is being written is the same.
Then the patcher must wait for all running NMIs to finish before
going to the next line that must be patched.
This is basically the RCU approach to code modification.
Thanks to Ingo Molnar for suggesting the idea, and to Arjan van de Ven
for his guidence on what is safe and what is not.

Impact: fix AMD Family 11h boot hangs / USB device problems
The AMD Fam11h CPUs have a K8 northbridge. This northbridge is different
from other family's because it lacks GART support (as I just learned).
But the kernel implicitly expects a GART if it finds an AMD northbridge.
Fix this by removing the Fam11h northbridge id from the scan list of K8
northbridges. This patch also changes the message in the GART driver
about missing K8 northbridges to tell that the GART is missing which is
the correct information in this case.

Impact: fix kdump crash on 32-bit sparsemem kernels
Since linux-2.6.27, kdump has failed on i386 sparsemem kernel.
1st-kernel gets a panic just before switching to 2nd-kernel.
The cause is that a kernel accesses invalid mem_section by
page_to_pfn(image->swap_page) at machine_kexec().
image->swap_page is allocated if kexec for hibernation, but
it is not allocated if kdump. So if kdump, a kernel should
not access the mem_section corresponding to image->swap_page.
The attached patch fixes this invalid access.

Every call of kvm_set_irq() should offer an irq_source_id, which is
allocated by kvm_request_irq_source_id(). Based on irq_source_id, we
identify the irq source and implement logical OR for shared level
interrupts.
The allocated irq_source_id can be freed by kvm_free_irq_source_id().
Currently, we support at most sizeof(unsigned long) different irq sources.
[Amit: - rebase to kvm.git HEAD
- move definition of KVM_USERSPACE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID to common file
- move kvm_request_irq_source_id to the update_irq ioctl]

Impact: avoid section mismatch warning, clean up
The dynamic ftrace determines which nop is safe to use at start up.
When it finds a safe nop for patching, it sets a pointer called ftrace_nop
to point to the code. All call sites are then patched to this nop.
Later, when tracing is turned on, this ftrace_nop variable is again used
to compare the location to make sure it is a nop before we update it to
an mcount call. If this fails just once, a warning is printed and ftrace
is disabled.
Rakib Mullick noted that the code that sets up the nop is a .init section
where as the nop itself is in the .text section. This is needed because
the nop is used later on after boot up. The problem is that the test of the
nop jumps back to the setup code and causes a "section mismatch" warning.
Rakib first recommended to convert the nop to .init.text, but as stated
above, this would fail since that text is used later.
The real solution is to extend Rabik's patch, and to make the ftrace_nop
into an array, and just save the code from the assembly to this array.
Now the section can stay as an init section, and we have a nop to use
later on.

Impact: on SGI UV platforms, fix boot crash
UV initialization is currently called too late to call alloc_bootmem_pages().
The current sequence is:
start_kernel()
mem_init()
free_all_bootmem() <--- discard of bootmem
rest_init()
kernel_init()
smp_prepare_cpus()
native_smp_prepare_cpus()
uv_system_init() <--- uses alloc_bootmem_pages()
It should be calling kmalloc().
