      Every so often, after code shuffles, I need to go through and unbitrot
      the Lguest Journey (see drivers/lguest/README).  Since we now use RCU in
      a simple form in one place I took the opportunity to expand that explanation.

      x86/irq: change irq_desc_alloc() to take node instead of cpu · 85ac16d0
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      This simplifies the node awareness of the code. All our allocators
      only deal with a NUMA node ID locality not with CPU ids anyway - so
      there's no need to maintain (and transform) a CPU id all across the
      IRq layer.
      
      v2: keep move_irq_desc related

      lguest: fix for CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y · 6db6a5f3
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Impact: remove lots of lguest boot WARN_ON() when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y
      
      We now need to call irq_to_desc_alloc_cpu() before
      set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), but we can't do that from init_IRQ (no
      kmalloc available).
      
      So do it as we use interrupts instead.  Also means we only alloc for
      irqs we use, which was the intent of CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ anyway.

      lguest: fix crash 'unhandled trap 13 at <native_read_msr_safe>' · cbd88c8e
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Impact: fix lguest boot crash on modern Intel machines
      
      The code in early_init_intel does:
      
      	if (c->x86 > 6 || (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model >= 0xd)) {
      		u64 misc_enable;
      
      		rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE, misc_enable);
      
      And that rdmsr faults (not allowed from non-0 PL).  We can get around
      this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid.  5 seems like a good
      number.
      
      Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!).  We could just indicate
      that we don't support MSRs, or implement lguest_rdmst.

      x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32 · ccbeed3a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
              overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit
      
      On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily.  pt_regs
      doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
      In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
      handling optional by doing the followings.
      
      * Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.
      
      * Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
        LAZY_GS.  Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
        even when LAZY_GS.  However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
        and simplifies entry path with error code.
      
      * Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
        lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS.  The
        lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.
      
      * Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.
      
      xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

      x86/paravirt: add register-saving thunks to reduce caller register pressure · ecb93d1c
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Impact: Optimization
      
      One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
      there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
      The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
      set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
      use those registers without restriction.  This includes the function
      argument registers, and several others.
      
      This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
      thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
      callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
      be conventional compiler-generated code.  In many cases (particularly
      performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
      and need not use the compiler's calling convention.
      
      Standard calling convention is:
      	 arguments	    return	scratch
      x86-32	 eax edx ecx	    eax		?
      x86-64	 rdi rsi rdx rcx    rax		r8 r9 r10 r11
      
      The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers.  The return
      register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
      unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).
      
      Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
      paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
      compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.
      
      The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
      interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first.  This is
      particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.
      
      XXX Deal with VMI.  What's their calling convention?

      x86: APIC: remove apic_write_around(); use alternatives · 593f4a78
      Maciej W. Rozycki 提交于
      Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
      for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time.  Remove the
      X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
      apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
      ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum.  Remove
      apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
      Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends.  The use of
      ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
      used it for readability's sake.
      
      I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
      and here it is.  Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
      with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
      "feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
      expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
      Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
      it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
      have disregarded it.
      
      I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
      and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
      have left changes to them out.  The option will get removed from them at
      the next run.
      
      Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
      stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
      intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
      everywhere.
