Impact: fix 32-bit Xen guest boot crash
On 32-bit PAE, pud_page, for no good reason, didn't really return a
struct page *. Since Jan Beulich's fix "i386/PAE: fix pud_page()",
pud_page does return a struct page *.
Because PAE has 3 pagetable levels, the pud level is folded into the
pgd level, so pgd_page() is the same as pud_page(), and now returns
a struct page *. Update the xen/mmu.c code which uses pgd_page()
accordingly.

When 'start' and 'end' are less than a cacheline apart and 'start' is
unaligned we are done after cleaning and invalidating the first
cacheline. So check for (start < end) which will not walk off into
invalid address ranges when (start > end).
This issue was caught by drivers/dma/dmatest.
2.6.27 is susceptible.

As a result of the ptebits changes, we ended up marking device mappings
as normal memory on ARMv7 CPUs, resulting in undesirable behaviour with
serial ports and the like. While reviewing the section mapping table
entries, other errors in the memory type settings for devices were
detected and confirmed to prevent Xscale3 platforms booting.
Tested on:
OMAP34xx (ARMv7),
OMAP24xx (ARMv6),
OMAP16xx (ARM926T, ARMv5),
PXA311 (Xscale3),
PXA272 (Xscale),

This fixes a regression introduced by 2c6e6db41f01b6b4eb98809350827c9678996698
"Minimize per_cpu reservations." That patch incorrectly used information about
what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI. The end result
was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a
NULL pointer reference.
Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest
fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU
info. This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the
"Minimize per_cpu reservations". This patch just fixes the regressions, the
cleanup will come in a later patch.

As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs
to know where modules are located in the virtual address space.
On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END.
Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
vmalloc space.

This reverts commit c7ffa6c26277b403920e2255d10df849bd613380.
the assumptio of this change was that this would not break
any existing machine. Andrey Borzenkov reported troubles with
the ACPI reboot method: the system would hang on reboot, necessiating
a power cycle. Probably more systems are affected as well.
Also, there are patches queued up for v2.6.29 to disable virtualization
on emergency_restart() - which was the original motivation of
this change.

Impact: fix rare x2apic hang
On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing
semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some
memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the
IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode.
Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI.

Impact: fix boot hang on 32-bit systems with more than 224 IO-APIC pins
On some 32-bit systems with a lot of IO-APICs probe_nr_irqs() can
return a value larger than NR_IRQS. This will lead to probe_irq_on()
overrunning the irq_desc array.
I hit this when running net-next-2.6 (close to 2.6.28-rc3) on a
Supermicro dual Xeon system. NR_IRQS is 224 but probe_nr_irqs() detects
5 IOAPICs and returns 240. Here are the log messages:

Impact: improve wakeup affinity on NUMA systems, tweak SMP systems
Given the fixes+tweaks to the wakeup-buddy code, re-tweak the domain
balancing defaults on NUMA and SMP systems.
Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason
why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well.
(we already do this in the standard NUMA template.)
lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change:
before:
| phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
| "size=0k ovr=2.60
| 2 5.70
after:
| phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
| "size=0k ovr=2.65
| 2 2.07
a 2.75x speedup.
pipe-test is similarly happy about it too:
| phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test
| 18.26 usecs/loop.
| 14.70 usecs/loop.
| 14.38 usecs/loop.
| 10.55 usecs/loop. # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1
| 8.63 usecs/loop.
| 8.59 usecs/loop.
| 9.03 usecs/loop.
| 8.94 usecs/loop.
| 8.96 usecs/loop.
| 8.63 usecs/loop.
Also:
- disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings)
- enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains
Sysbench+postgresql improves all around the board, quite significantly:
.28-rc3-11474e2c .28-rc3-11474e2c-tune
-------------------------------------------------
1: 571 688 +17.08%
2: 1236 1206 -2.55%
4: 2381 2642 +9.89%

On omap24xx, INTCPS_SIR_IRQ_OFFSET bits [6:0] contains the current
active interrupt number.
However, on 34xx INTCPS_SIR_IRQ_OFFSET bits [31:7] also contains the
SPURIOUSIRQFLAG, which gets set if the interrupt sorting information
is invalid.
If the SPURIOUSIRQFLAG bits are not ignored, the interrupt code will
occasionally produce a bunch of confusing errors:
irq -33, desc: c02ddcc8, depth: 0, count: 0, unhandled: 0
->handle_irq(): c006f23c, handle_bad_irq+0x0/0x22c
->chip(): 00000000, 0x0
->action(): 00000000

makedumpfile[1] cannot run on ia64 discontigmem kernel, because the member
node_mem_map of struct pgdat_list has invalid value. This patch fixes it.
node_start_pfn shows the start pfn of each node, and node_mem_map should
point 'struct page' of each node's node_start_pfn. On my machine, node0's
node_start_pfn shows 0x400 and its node_mem_map points 0xa0007fffbf000000.
This address is the same as vmem_map, so the node_mem_map points 'struct
page' of pfn 0, even if its node_start_pfn shows 0x400.
The cause is due to the round down of min_pfn in count_node_pages() and
node0's node_mem_map points 'struct page' of inactive pfn (0x0). This
patch fixes it.

2.6.28-rc tightened up the ELF architecture checks on ARM. For
non-EABI it only allows VFP if the hardware supports it. However,
the kernel fails to also inspect the soft-float flag, so it
incorrectly rejects binaries using soft-VFP.
The fix is simple: also check that EF_ARM_SOFT_FLOAT isn't set
before rejecting VFP binaries on non-VFP hardware.

There is a problem discovered in recent versions of ATI Mach64 driver
in X.org on sparc64 architecture. In short, the driver fails to mmap
MMIO aperture (PCI resource #2).
I've found that kernel's __pci_mmap_make_offset() returns EINVAL. It
checks whether user attempts to mmap more than the resource length,
which is 0x1000 bytes in our case. But PAGE_SIZE on SPARC64 is 0x2000
and this is what actually is being mmaped. So __pci_mmap_make_offset()
failed for this PCI resource.

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.
