Move architecture specific portion of lg_hcall code to asm-i386/lg_hcall.h
and have it included from linux/lguest.h.
[Changed to asm-i386/lguest_hcall.h so documentation finds it -RR]

lguest_launcher.h uses "u32" not "__u32", which sets a bad example. Fix that,
and include <linux/types.h>.
This means we need to use -I on the Launcher build line so types.h is found.

To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher)
currently requires duplication of these structures. Making them
includable from userspace is much nicer.
We merge the common userspace-required definitions of e820_32/64.h
into e820.h for export.

Commit 238e4f142c33bb34440cc64029dde7b9fbc4e65f ("ide: add
IDE_HFLAG_NO_LBA48 and IDE_HFLAG_NO_LBA48_DMA host flags") caused a
regression because the host_flags in struct hwif_s wasn't expanded to
cope with the fact that the host flags no longer fit in 16 bits.

Commit 4f9a58d75bfe82ab2b8ba5b8506dfb190a267834 ("increase
AT_VECTOR_SIZE to terminate saved_auxv properly") changes the size of
AT_VECTOR_SIZE from hard coded '44' to a calculation based on the value
of AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH and AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE.
The change works for arch/powerpc, but it breaks arch/ppc because the
needed AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH is not present in include/asm-ppc/system.h
and a default value of 0 is used instead. This results in
AT_VECTOR_SIZE being too small and it causes a kernel crash on loading
init.

The BCM148 has 4 cores but there are also just 4 generic timers available
so use the ZBbus cycle counter instead of it. In addition the ZBbus
counter also offers a much higher resolution and 64-bit counting so I'm
considering a later complete conversion to it once I figure out if all
members of the Sibyte SOC family support it - the docs seem to agree but
the headers files seem to disagree ...

Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:
- Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
NULL when passed such an entry.
It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
and set the page member.

Add the guts for the new filesystem API to exportfs.
There's now a fh_to_dentry method that returns a dentry for the object looked
for given a filehandle fragment, and a fh_to_parent operation that returns the
dentry for the encoded parent directory in case the file handle contains it.
There are default implementations for these methods that only take a callback
for an nfs-enhanced iget variant and implement the rest of the semantics.

This patchset is a medium scale rewrite of the export operations interface.
The goal is to make the interface less complex, and easier to understand from
the filesystem side, aswell as preparing generic support for exporting of
64bit inode numbers.
This touches all nfs exporting filesystems, and I've done testing on all of
the filesystems I have here locally (xfs, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs)
This patch:
Add a structured fid type so that we don't have to pass an array of u32 values
around everywhere. It's a union of possible layouts.
As a start there's only the u32 array and the traditional 32bit inode format,
but there will be more in one of my next patchset when I start to document the
various filehandle formats we have in lowlevel filesystems better.
Also add an enum that gives the various filehandle types human- readable
names.
Note: Some people might think the struct containing an anonymous union is
ugly, but I didn't want to pass around a raw union type.

Add the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel data are in
the resource tree. The main reason behind this is to avoid crashkernel
reservation in that area.
While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree (the
actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function before),
the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user in /proc/iomem
just as Kernel data and Kernel code.
Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and ia64).

When devices are under a p2p bridge, upstream transactions get replaced by the
device id of the bridge as it owns the PCIE transaction. Hence its necessary
to setup translations on behalf of the bridge as well. Due to this limitation
all devices under a p2p share the same domain in a DMAR.
We just cache the type of device, if its a native PCIe device
or not for later use.

This patch supports the upcomming Intel IOMMU hardware a.k.a. Intel(R)
Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Architecture and the hardware spec
for the same can be found here
http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/index.htm
FAQ! (questions from akpm, answers from ak)
> So... what's all this code for?
>
> I assume that the intent here is to speed things up under Xen, etc?
Yes in some cases, but not this code. That would be the Xen version of this
code that could potentially assign whole devices to guests. I expect this to
be only useful in some special cases though because most hardware is not
virtualizable and you typically want an own instance for each guest.
Ok at some point KVM might implement this too; i likely would use this code
for this.
> Do we
> have any benchmark results to help us to decide whether a merge would be
> justified?
The main advantage for doing it in the normal kernel is not performance, but
more safety. Broken devices won't be able to corrupt memory by doing random
DMA.
Unfortunately that doesn't work for graphics yet, for that need user space
interfaces for the X server are needed.
There are some potential performance benefits too:
- When you have a device that cannot address the complete address range an
IOMMU can remap its memory instead of bounce buffering. Remapping is likely
cheaper than copying.
- The IOMMU can merge sg lists into a single virtual block. This could
potentially speed up SG IO when the device is slow walking SG lists. [I
long ago benchmarked 5% on some block benchmark with an old MPT Fusion; but
it probably depends a lot on the HBA]
And you get better driver debugging because unexpected memory accesses from
the devices will cause a trappable event.
>
> Does it slow anything down?
It adds more overhead to each IO so yes.
This patch:
Add support for early detection and parsing of DMAR's (DMA Remapping) reported
to OS via ACPI tables.
DMA remapping(DMAR) devices support enables independent address translations
for Direct Memory Access(DMA) from Devices. These DMA remapping devices are
reported via ACPI tables and includes pci device scope covered by these DMA
remapping device.

Simplify the vfs_cap_data structure.
Also fix get_file_caps which was declaring
__le32 v1caps[XATTR_CAPS_SZ] on the stack, but
XATTR_CAPS_SZ is already * sizeof(__le32).

Fix a panic due to access NULL pointer of kmem_cache_node at discard_slab()
after memory online.
When memory online is called, kmem_cache_nodes are created for all SLUBs
for new node whose memory are available.
slab_mem_going_online_callback() is called to make kmem_cache_node() in
callback of memory online event. If it (or other callbacks) fails, then
slab_mem_offline_callback() is called for rollback.
In memory offline, slab_mem_going_offline_callback() is called to shrink
all slub cache, then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called later.

Current memory notifier has some defects yet. (Fortunately, nothing uses
it.) This patch is to fix and rearrange for them.
- Add information of start_pfn, nr_pages, and node id if node status is
changes from/to memoryless node for callback functions.
Callbacks can't do anything without those information.
- Add notification going-online status.
It is necessary for creating per node structure before the node's
pages are available.
- Move GOING_OFFLINE status notification after page isolation.
It is good place for return memory like cache for callback,
because returned page is not used again.
- Make CANCEL events for rollingback when error occurs.
- Delete MEM_MAPPING_INVALID notification. It will be not used.
- Fix compile error of (un)register_memory_notifier().

Updates for version 2.07 of the boot protocol. This includes:
load_flags.KEEP_SEGMENTS- flag to request/inhibit segment reloads
hardware_subarch - what subarchitecture we're booting under
hardware_subarch_data - per-architecture data
The intention of these changes is to make booting a paravirtualized
kernel work via the normal Linux boot protocol.

struct video_device used to define a .hardware field. While
initialized on severl drivers, this field is never used inside V4L.
However, drivers using it need to include the old V4L1 header.
This seems to cause compilation troubles with some random configs.
Better just to remove it from all drivers.

The current tlb flushing code for page table entries violates the
s390 architecture in a small detail. The relevant section from the
principles of operation (SA22-7832-02 page 3-47):
"A valid table entry must not be changed while it is attached
to any CPU and may be used for translation by that CPU except to
(1) invalidate the entry by using INVALIDATE PAGE TABLE ENTRY or
INVALIDATE DAT TABLE ENTRY, (2) alter bits 56-63 of a page-table
entry, or (3) make a change by means of a COMPARE AND SWAP AND
PURGE instruction that purges the TLB."
That means if one thread of a multithreaded applciation uses a vma
while another thread does an unmap on it, the page table entries of
that vma needs to get removed with IPTE, IDTE or CSP. In some strange
and rare situations a cpu could check-stop (die) because a entry has
been pushed out of the TLB that is still needed to complete a
(milli-coded) instruction. I've never seen it happen with the current
code on any of the supported machines, so right now this is a
theoretical problem. But I want to fix it nevertheless, to avoid
headaches in the futures.
To get this implemented correctly without changing common code the
primitives ptep_get_and_clear, ptep_get_and_clear_full and
ptep_set_wrprotect need to use the IPTE instruction to invalidate the
pte before the new pte value gets stored. If IPTE is always used for
the three primitives three important operations will have a performace
hit: fork, mprotect and exit_mmap. Time for some workarounds:
* 1: ptep_get_and_clear_full is used in unmap_vmas to remove page
tables entries in a batched tlb gather operation. If the mmu_gather
context passed to unmap_vmas has been started with full_mm_flush==1
or if only one cpu is online or if the only user of a mm_struct is the
current process then the fullmm indication in the mmu_gather context is
set to one. All TLBs for mm_struct are flushed by the tlb_gather_mmu
call. No new TLBs can be created while the unmap is in progress. In
this case ptep_get_and_clear_full clears the ptes with a simple store.
* 2: ptep_get_and_clear is used in change_protection to clear the
ptes from the page tables before they are reentered with the new
access flags. At the end of the update flush_tlb_range clears the
remaining TLBs. In general the ptep_get_and_clear has to issue IPTE
for each pte and flush_tlb_range is a nop. But if there is only one
user of the mm_struct then ptep_get_and_clear uses simple stores
to do the update and flush_tlb_range will flush the TLBs.
* 3: Similar to 2, ptep_set_wrprotect is used in copy_page_range
for a fork to make all ptes of a cow mapping read-only. At the end of
of copy_page_range dup_mmap will flush the TLBs with a call to
flush_tlb_mm. Check for mm->mm_users and if there is only one user
avoid using IPTE in ptep_set_wrprotect and let flush_tlb_mm clear the
TLBs.
Overall for single threaded programs the tlb flush code now performs
better, for multi threaded programs it is slightly worse. In particular
exit_mmap() now does a single IDTE for the mm and then just frees every
page cache reference and every page table page directly without a delay
over the mmu_gather structure.

Add two new sysfs entries per cpu: idle_count and idle_time.
idle_count contains the number of times a cpu went into idle state.
idle_time contains the time a cpu spent in idle state in microseconds.
This can be used e.g. by powertop to tell how often idle state is
entered and left.
