Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs
rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.
So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
support it.

In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that
gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in
question. By swapping to PAGE_KERNEL_UC_MINUS, we can get the actual
behavior the caller wanted (WC if you can manage it, UC otherwise).
This recovers the 40% performance improvement of using WC in the DRM
to upload vertex data.

the RDC and ELAN platforms use slighly different PIT clocks, resulting in
a timex.h hack that changes PIT_TICK_RATE during build time. But if a
tester enables any of these platform support .config options, the PIT
will be miscalibrated on standard PC platforms.
So use one frequency - in a subsequent patch we'll add a quirk to allow
x86 platforms to define different PIT frequencies.

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.
This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
union {
struct {
unsigned long private;
struct address_space *mapping;
};
spinlock_t ptl;
struct kmem_cache *slab;
struct page *first_page;
};
Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.
It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

[XFS] Long btree pointers are still 64 bit on disk
On 32 bit machines with CONFIG_LBD=n, XFS reduces the
in memory size of xfs_fsblock_t to 32 bits so that it
will fit within 32 bit addressing. However, the disk format
for long btree pointers are still 64 bits in size.
The recent btree rewrite failed to take this into account
when initialising new btree blocks, setting sibling pointers
to NULL and checking if they are NULL. Hence checking whether
a 64 bit NULL was the same as a 32 bit NULL was failingi
resulting in NULL sibling pointers failing to be detected
correctly. This showed up as WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO shutdowns
in xfs_btree_delrec.
Fix this by making all the comparisons and setting of long
pointer btree NULL blocks to the disk format, not the
in memory format. i.e. use NULLDFSBNO.

This commit breaks mapping any RAM page through /dev/mem, as the
reserve_memtype() was not initializing the return attribute type and as such
corrupting the PTE entry that was setup with the return attribute type.
Because of this bug, application mapping this RAM page through /dev/mem
will die with "Corrupted page table at address xxxx" message in the kernel
log and also the kernel identity mapping which maps the underlying RAM
page gets converted to UC.
Fix this by initializing the return attribute type before calling
reserve_ram_pages_type()

Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916df) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

This reverts commit 4217458daf.
Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox
crashes.
The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.
So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.

usercopy.c in the same way.

Impact: fix crash with memory hotplug enabled
kernel_physical_mapping_init() is called during memory hotplug
so it does not belong in the init section.
If the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y on
the make command line, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c is compiled with
the -fno-inline-functions-called-once gcc option defeating
inlining of kernel_physical_mapping_init() within init_memory_mapping().
When kernel_physical_mapping_init() is not inlined it is placed
in the .init.text section according to the __init in it's current
declaration. A later call to kernel_physical_mapping_init() during
a memory hotplug operation encounters an int3 trap because the
.init.text section memory has been freed.
This patch eliminates the crash caused by the int3 trap by moving the
non-inlined kernel_physical_mapping_init() from .init.text to .meminit.text.

Open by handle just grabs an inode by handle and then creates itself
a dentry for it. While this works for regular files it is horribly
broken for directories, where the VFS locking relies on the fact that
there is only just one single dentry for a given inode, and that
these are always connected to the root of the filesystem so that
it's locking algorithms work (see Documentations/filesystems/Locking)
Remove all the existing open by handle code and replace it with a small
wrapper around the exportfs code which deals with all these issues.
At the same time we also make the checks for a valid handle strict
enough to reject all not perfectly well formed handles - given that
we never hand out others that's okay and simplifies the code.
