      Impact: cleanup
      
      * Come on, struct info?  s/struct info/struct math_emu_info/
      
      * Use struct pt_regs and kernel_vm86_regs instead of defining its own
        register frame structure.

      x86, vmi: put a missing paravirt_release_pmd in pgd_dtor · 55a8ba4b
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      Commit 6194ba6f ("x86: don't special-case
      pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations,
      and while doing that it dropped a call to  paravirt_release_pd on the
      pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path.
      
      As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the
      pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a
      page table page.
      
      After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and
      depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance
      and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots).
      
      Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from
      the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

      x86: find nr_irqs_gsi with mp_ioapic_routing · 3f4a739c
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      Impact: find right nr_irqs_gsi on some systems.
      
      One test-system has gap between gsi's:
      
      [    0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x04] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0])
      [    0.000000] IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 4, version 0, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23
      [    0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x05] address[0xfeafd000] gsi_base[48])
      [    0.000000] IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 5, version 0, address 0xfeafd000, GSI 48-54
      [    0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x06] address[0xfeafc000] gsi_base[56])
      [    0.000000] IOAPIC[2]: apic_id 6, version 0, address 0xfeafc000, GSI 56-62
      ...
      [    0.000000] nr_irqs_gsi: 38
      
      So nr_irqs_gsi is not right. some irq for MSI will overwrite with io_apic.
      
      need to get that with acpi_probe_gsi when acpi io_apic is used

      x86: add clflush before monitor for Intel 7400 series · e736ad54
      Pallipadi, Venkatesh 提交于
      For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the
      monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1].
      
      This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the
      monitored address was recently written to.

      sparc64: Fix probe_kernel_{read,write}(). · aeb39876
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This is based upon a report from Chris Torek and his initial patch.
      From Chris's report:
      
      --------------------
      This came up in testing kgdb, using the built-in tests -- turn
      on CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS, then
      
          echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
      
      -- but it would affect using kgdb if you were debugging and looking
      at bad pointers.
      --------------------
      
      When we get a copy_{from,to}_user() request and the %asi is set to
      something other than ASI_AIUS (which is userspace) then we branch off
      to a routine called memcpy_user_stub().  It just does a straight
      memcpy since we are copying from kernel to kernel in this case.
      
      The logic was that since source and destination are both kernel
      pointers we don't need to have exception checks.
      
      But for what probe_kernel_{read,write}() is trying to do, we have to
      have the checks, otherwise things like kgdb bad kernel pointer
      accesses don't do the right thing.

      sparc64: Kill .fixup section bloat. · 40bdac7d
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This is an implementation of a suggestion made by Chris Torek:
      --------------------
      Something else I noticed in passing: the EX and EX_LD/EX_ST macros
      scattered throughout the various .S files make a fair bit of .fixup
      code, all of which does the same thing.  At the cost of one symbol
      in copy_in_user.S, you could just have one common two-instruction
      retl-and-mov-1 fixup that they all share.
      --------------------
      
      The following is with a defconfig build:
