Alex Chiang e72aca3083 [IA64] build arch/ia64/kernel/acpi-ext.o when CONFIG_ACPI
Simplify the makefile slightly by always building acpi-ext.o when
CONFIG_ACPI is turned on.

Yes, this adds a little bloat to the other configs, but not much:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
    839	     41	      0	    880	    370	arch/ia64/kernel/acpi-ext.o

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec		    hex	filename
10952753	1299212	1334241	13586206	 cf4f1e	vmlinux

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec		    hex	filename
10953739	1299084	1334241	13587064	 cf5278	vmlinux

(gdb) p 13587064 - 13586206
$2 = 858

Seems like a small price to pay for the benefit of not having to think
so hard about the multitude of ia64 configs when reading code/Makefiles.

Alex Chiang d868080d2a [IA64] Only build arch/ia64/kernel/acpi.o when CONFIG_ACPI
The following commit broke the ia64 sim_defconfig build:
	3b2b84c0b81108a9a869a88bf2beeb5a95d81dd1
	ACPI: processor: driver doesn't need to evaluate _PDC

This is because it added:
	+#include <acpi/processor.h>

To arch/ia64/kernel/acpi.c. Unfortunately, the ia64_simdefconfig does
not turn on CONFIG_ACPI, and we get build errors.

The fix described in $subject seems to be the most sensible way to
untangle the mess.

The other issue is that acpi_get_sysname() is required for all configs,
most of which define CONFIG_ACPI, but are not CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC. Turn
it into an inline to cover the "non generic" ia64 configs; to prevent
a duplicate definition build error, we need to wrap the definition in
acpi.o inside an #ifdef.

Finally, move the pm_idle and pm_power_off exports into process.c (which
is always built), similar to other architectures, and allow the sim
defconfig to link.

Bjorn Helgaas 7bc5e3f2be x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info by default on 2008 and newer machines
The main benefit of using ACPI host bridge window information is that
we can do better resource allocation in systems with multiple host bridges,
e.g., http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14183

Sometimes we need _CRS information even if we only have one host bridge,
e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341681

Most of these systems are relatively new, so this patch turns on
"pci=use_crs" only on machines with a BIOS date of 2008 or newer.

Bjorn Helgaas 2fe2abf896 PCI: augment bus resource table with a list
Previously we used a table of size PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES (16) for resources
forwarded to a bus by its upstream bridge.  We've increased this size
several times when the table overflowed.

But there's no good limit on the number of resources because host bridges
and subtractive decode bridges can forward any number of ranges to their
secondary buses.

This patch reduces the table to only PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCE_NUM (4) entries,
which corresponds to the number of windows a PCI-to-PCI (3) or CardBus (4)
bridge can positively decode.  Any additional resources, e.g., PCI host
bridge windows or subtractively-decoded regions, are kept in a list.

I'd prefer a single list rather than this split table/list approach, but
that requires simultaneous changes to every architecture.  This approach
only requires immediate changes where we set up (a) host bridges with more
than four windows and (b) subtractive-decode P2P bridges, and we can
incrementally change other architectures to use the list.

Bjorn Helgaas 89a74ecccd PCI: add pci_bus_for_each_resource(), remove direct bus->resource[] refs
No functional change; this converts loops that iterate from 0 to
PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES through pci_bus resource[] table to use the
pci_bus_for_each_resource() iterator instead.

This doesn't change the way resources are stored; it merely removes
dependencies on the fact that they're in a table.

Russell King 4b3073e1c5 MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself
On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.

This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().

Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():

  On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
  to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
  more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
  pte_t?

Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:

  Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
  -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
  for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
  _PAGE_EXEC.

So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

Includes a fix from Stephen Rothwell:

Right now xen's use of the x86 and ia64 handle_irq is just bizarre and very
fragile as it is very non-obvious the function exists and is is used by
code out in drivers/....  Luckily using handle_irq is completely unnecessary,
and we can just use the generic irq apis instead.

This still leaves drivers/xen/events.c as a problematic user of the generic
irq apis it has "static struct irq_info irq_info[NR_IRQS]" but that can be
fixed some other time.

Masami Hiramatsu 615d0ebbc7 kprobes: Disable booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
Disable kprobe booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y at this time,
because it can't ensure that all kernel threads preempted on
kprobe's boosted slot run out from the slot even using
freeze_processes().

The booster on preemptive kernel will be resumed if
synchronize_tasks() or something like that is introduced.

Michael S. Tsirkin 3a4d5c94e9 vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server
What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.

There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
  migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
- write logging is supported (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)

common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear.  I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.

What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.

How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
device.  Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
etc.

Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
utilization.

Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- mergeable buffers
- zero copy
- scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use

Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
workqueue item.  The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

Tony Luck 6c57a33290 [IA64] __per_cpu_idtrs[] is a memory hog
__per_cpu_idtrs is statically allocated ... on CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4096
systems it hogs 16MB of memory. This is way too much for a quite
probably unused facility (only KVM uses dynamic TR registers).

Change to an array of pointers, and allocate entries as needed on
a per cpu basis.  Change the name too as the __per_cpu_ prefix is
confusing (this isn't a classic <linux/percpu.h> type object).

Anton Blanchard 1d1e9f0421 [IA64] cpumask_of_node() should handle -1 as a node
pcibus_to_node can return -1 if we cannot determine which node a pci bus
is on. If passed -1, cpumask_of_node will negatively index the lookup array
and pull in random data:

# cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/local_cpus
00000000,00000003,00000000,00000000
# cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/local_cpulist
64-65

Change cpumask_of_node to check for -1 and return cpu_all_mask in this
case:

# cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/local_cpus
ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff
# cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/local_cpulist

Luck, Tony a662b8135a KVM: ia64: fix build breakage due to host spinlock change
Len Brown pointed out that allmodconfig is broken for
ia64 because of:

arch/ia64/kvm/vmm.c: In function 'vmm_spin_unlock':
arch/ia64/kvm/vmm.c:70: error: 'spinlock_t' has no member named 'raw_lock'

KVM has it's own spinlock routines. It should not depend on the base kernel
spinlock_t type (which changed when ia64 switched to ticket locks).  Define
its own vmm_spinlock_t type.

Alex Chiang 6c5807d7bc ACPI: processor: finish unifying arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc()
The only thing arch-specific about calling _PDC is what bits get
set in the input obj_list buffer.

There's no need for several levels of indirection to twiddle those
bits. Additionally, since we're just messing around with a buffer,
we can simplify the interface; no need to pass around the entire
struct acpi_processor * just to get at the buffer.
