We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there
is a subtle bug which has been in the code for ever. This can cause
time jumps in the range of hours.

This was reported in:
     http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96
and
     http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23

I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a
dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized
TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the
kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still
there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed
with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this
with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this
might be observable with the syscall based version as well.

CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and
CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right
after the seqlock was unlocked.

The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and
the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference
data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned
subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm
can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like
pm timer.

The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which
is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1
will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the
reference value.

To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value
against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger
than the actual TSC value.

I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than
the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast
clocksource unusable without a real good reason.

fix memory corruption and crash due to mis-sized grant table.

A PV OS has two grant table data structures: the grant table itself
and a free list.  The free list is composed of an array of pages,
which grow dynamically as the guest OS requires more grants.  While
the grant table contains 8-byte entries, the free list contains 4-byte
entries.  So we have half as many pages in the free list than in the
grant table.

There was a bug in the free list allocation code. The free list was
indexed as if it was the same size as the grant table.  But it's only
half as large.  So memory got corrupted, and I was seeing crashes in
the slab allocator later on.

Furthermore this adds the settings for the PHY in the dts file for the

Lite5200B, because the PHY is located at f0003000:01 for the 5200, and

hash_page_sync() takes and releases the low level mmu hash
lock in order to sync with other processors disposing of page
tables.  Because that lock can be needed to service hash misses
triggered by interrupt handlers, taking it must be done with
interrupts off.  However, hash_page_sync() appears to be called
with interrupts enabled, thus causing occasional deadlocks.

We fix it by making sure hash_page_sync() masks interrupts while
holding the lock.

A subtle bug sneaked into iSeries recently.  On this platform, we must
not normally clear MSR:EE (the hardware external interrupt enable)
except for short periods of time.  Taking an interrupt while
soft-disabled doesn't cause us to clear it for example.

The iSeries kernel expects to mostly run with MSR:EE enabled at all
times except in a few exception entry/exit code paths.  Thus
local_irq_enable() doesn't check if it needs to hard-enable as it
expects this to be unnecessary on iSeries.

However, hard_irq_disable() _does_ cause MSR:EE to be cleared,
including on iSeries.  A call to it was recently added to the
context switch code, thus causing interrupts to become disabled
for a long periods of time, causing the iSeries watchdog to kick
in under some circumstances and other nasty things.

This patch fixes it by making local_irq_enable() properly re-enable
MSR:EE on iSeries.  It basically removes a return statement here
to make iSeries use the same code path as everybody else.  That does
mean that we might occasionally get spurious decrementer interrupts
but I don't think that matters.

Another option would have been to make hard_irq_disable() a nop
on iSeries but I didn't like it much, in case we have good reasons
to hard-disable.

Part of the patch is fixes to make sure the hard_enabled PACA field
is properly set on iSeries as it used not to be before, since it
was mostly unused.

Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses
preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal
intrusiveness.  We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives.

Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes
from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style :
a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a
quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed.

The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running
preempt_disable regions are done running.  We use the call_rcu mechanism
to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached.
However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier
does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished,
hence the race.

The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't
want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system.  (we do
not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it
would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the
scheduler).

The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in
mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we
wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path.  It will slow
down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone.

Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine.

This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data.  The
vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.

On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following:

 # makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
 The kernel version is not supported.
 The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
 _exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.

 makedumpfile Failed.
 #

The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
x86_64 kernel as non relocatable.  As the result, makedumpfile
misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.

To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a
vmcoreinfo data.
