2008-04-27KVM: MMU: Don't assume struct page for x86Anthony Liguori
This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86 MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn. We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will succeed. This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight forward. Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel, AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

2008-04-27fix idle (arch, acpi and apm) and lockdepPeter Zijlstra
OK, so 25-mm1 gave a lockdep error which made me look into this. The first thing that I noticed was the horrible mess; the second thing I saw was hacks like: 71e93d15612c61c2e26a169567becf088e71b8ff The problem is that arch idle routines are somewhat inconsitent with their IRQ state handling and instead of fixing _that_, we go paper over the problem. So the thing I've tried to do is set a standard for idle routines and fix them all up to adhere to that. So the rules are: idle routines are entered with IRQs disabled idle routines will exit with IRQs enabled Nearly all already did this in one form or another. Merge the 32 and 64 bit bits so they no longer have different bugs. As for the actual lockdep warning; __sti_mwait() did a plainly un-annotated irq-enable.

2008-04-26x86_64: fix setup_node_bootmem to support big mem excluding with memmapYinghai Lu
typical case: four sockets system, every node has 4g ram, and we are using: memmap=10g$4g to mask out memory on node1 and node2 when numa is enabled, early_node_mem is used to get node_data and node_bootmap. if it can not get memory from the same node with find_e820_area(), it will use alloc_bootmem to get buff from previous nodes. so check it and print out some info about it. need to move early_res_to_bootmem into every setup_node_bootmem. and it takes range that node has. otherwise alloc_bootmem could return addr that reserved early. depends on "mm: make reserve_bootmem can crossed the nodes".

include/asm-x86/bitops_32.h and include/asm-x86/bitops_64.h are now almost identical. The 64-bit version sets ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER and has an extra inline function set_bit_string. The define currently has no influence on the generated code, but it can be argued that setting it on i386 is the right thing to do anyhow. The addition of the extra inline function on i386 does not hurt either. Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-04-26x86: generic versions of find_first_(zero_)bit, convert i386Alexander van Heukelum
Generic versions of __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit are introduced as simplified versions of __find_next_bit and __find_next_zero_bit. Their compilation and use are guarded by a new config variable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT. The generic versions of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit are implemented in terms of the newly introduced __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit. This patch does not remove the i386-specific implementation, but it does switch i386 to use the generic functions by setting GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y for X86_32.

Some of those can be written in such a way that the same inline assembly can be used to generate both 32 bit and 64 bit code. For ffs and fls, x86_64 unconditionally used the cmov instruction and i386 unconditionally used a conditional branch over a mov instruction. In the current patch I chose to select the version based on the availability of the cmov instruction instead. A small detail here is that x86_64 did not previously set CONFIG_X86_CMOV=y.

2008-04-26x86, generic: optimize find_next_(zero_)bit for small constant-size bitmapsAlexander van Heukelum
This moves an optimization for searching constant-sized small bitmaps form x86_64-specific to generic code. On an i386 defconfig (the x86#testing one), the size of vmlinux hardly changes with this applied. I have observed only four places where this optimization avoids a call into find_next_bit: In the functions return_unused_surplus_pages, alloc_fresh_huge_page, and adjust_pool_surplus, this patch avoids a call for a 1-bit bitmap. In __next_cpu a call is avoided for a 32-bit bitmap. That's it. On x86_64, 52 locations are optimized with a minimal increase in code size: Current #testing defconfig: 146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392637 846592 724424 6963653 6a41c5 vmlinux After removing the x86_64 specific optimization for find_next_*bit: 94 x bsf, 79 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392358 846592 724424 6963374 6a40ae vmlinux After this patch (making the optimization generic): 146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392396 846592 724424 6963412 6a40d4 vmlinux [ tglx@linutronix.de: build fixes ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-04-26x86: change x86 to use generic find_next_bitAlexander van Heukelum
The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid crashing the benchmark. Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size 1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the results. Athlon Xeon Opteron 32/64bit x86-specific: 0m3.692s 0m2.820s 0m3.196s / 0m2.480s generic: 0m2.622s 0m1.662s 0m2.100s / 0m1.572s If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set (cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere, while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and unsigned long. Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though. defconfig: text data bss dec hex filename x86-specific: 4738555 481232 626688 5846475 5935cb vmlinux (32 bit) generic: 4738621 481232 626688 5846541 59360d vmlinux (32 bit) x86-specific: 5392395 846568 724424 6963387 6a40bb vmlinux (64 bit) generic: 5392458 846568 724424 6963450 6a40fa vmlinux (64 bit) Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179 Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being essentially dead. As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether.
