05c3dc2c4b x86, ioapic: Fix non atomic allocation with interrupts disabled
Impact: fix possible race

save_mask_IO_APIC_setup() was using non atomic memory allocation while getting
called with interrupts disabled. Fix this by splitting this into two different
function. Allocation part save_IO_APIC_setup() now happens before
disabling interrupts.

0280f7c416 x86, x2apic: cleanup the IO-APIC level migration with interrupt-remapping
Impact: simplification

In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the
io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt
remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that
remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI.

With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification
(with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin
number).  Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from
the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be
edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE.
So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic
cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC.

With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying
the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE.
And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the
local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote
IRR bit in  the IO-APIC RTE.

This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping.

5e47c478b0 x86: remove zImage support
Impact: obsolete feature removal

The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
time.  It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
anyone ever uses it.  Furthermore, although it is still supported by
most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
not having even noticed.

Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
meaning.

ab9e18587f x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != current
Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace

init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.

This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.

An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.

The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

5b1017404a x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table.  The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32.  Here is an example exploit:

	/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64

	   There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.

	   The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
	   be any chmod call).  The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
	   stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.

	   A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
	   fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

9976b39b50 xen: deal with virtually mapped percpu data
The virtually mapped percpu space causes us two problems:

 - for hypercalls which take an mfn, we need to do a full pagetable
   walk to convert the percpu va into an mfn, and

 - when a hypercall requires a page to be mapped RO via all its aliases,
   we need to make sure its RO in both the percpu mapping and in the
   linear mapping

This primarily affects the gdt and the vcpu info structure.

389d1fb11e x86: unify chunks of kernel/process*.c
With x86-32 and -64 using the same mechanism for managing the
tss io permissions bitmap, large chunks of process*.c are
trivially unifyable, including:

 - exit_thread
 - flush_thread
 - __switch_to_xtra (along with tsc enable/disable)

and as bonus pickups:

 - sys_fork
 - sys_vfork

(Note: asmlinkage expands to empty on x86-64)

db949bba3c x86-32: use non-lazy io bitmap context switching
Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification

x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks
with io permission bitmaps.  x86-64 simply copies the next
tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch.  x86-32
invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next
IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the
appropriate IO bitmap.

This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more
less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction
slower due to the extra fault.  This tradeoff only makes sense
if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they
don't actually use IO instructions very often.

However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely
to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on
a server.  Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win
all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from
64-bit code.

This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to
unifying this code in a later change.

f180053694 x86, mm: dont use non-temporal stores in pagecache accesses
Impact: standardize IO on cached ops

On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores,
as the regression in this commit has shown it:

  30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall

The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal
stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases
complexity and inserts fragility.

The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two
years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes
use of its caches.

The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are
absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty
data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the
GPU will.

Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to
experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where
non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

f5c1aa1537 Revert "gpu/drm, x86, PAT: PAT support for io_mapping_*"
This reverts commit 17581ad812.

Sitsofe Wheeler reported that /dev/dri/card0 is MIA on his EeePC 900
and bisected it to this commit.

Graphics card is an i915 in an EeePC 900:

 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]:
   Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
     Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 04)

( Most likely the ioremap() of the driver failed and hence the card
  did not initialize. )

d0c4f57027 bootmem, x86: further fixes for arch-specific bootmem wrapping
Impact: fix new breakages introduced by previous fix

Commit c132937556 tried to clean up
bootmem arch wrapper but it wasn't quite correct.  Before the commit,
the followings were broken.

* Low level interface functions prefixed with __ ignored arch
  preference.

* reserve_bootmem(...) can't be mapped into
  reserve_bootmem_node(NODE_DATA(0)->bdata, ...) because the node is
  not preference here.  The region specified MUST fall into the
  specified region; otherwise, it will panic.

After the commit,

* If allocation fails for the arch preferred node, it should fallback
  to whatever is available.  Instead, it simply failed allocation.

There are too many internal details to allow generic wrapping and
still keep things simple for archs.  Plus, all that arch wants is a
way to prefer certain node over another.

This patch drops the generic wrapping around alloc_bootmem_core() and
add alloc_bootmem_core() instead.  If necessary, arch can define
bootmem_arch_referred_node() macro or function which takes all
allocation information and returns the preferred node.  bootmem
generic code will always try the preferred node first and then
fallback to other nodes as usual.

Breakages noted and changes reviewed by Johannes Weiner.
