When registered for firmware assisted dump on powerpc, firmware preserves
the registers for the active CPUs during a system crash. This patch reads
the cpu register data stored in Firmware-assisted dump format (except for
crashing cpu) and converts it into elf notes and updates the PT_NOTE program
header accordingly. The exact register state for crashing cpu is saved to
fadump crash info structure in scratch area during crash_fadump() and read
during second kernel boot.

Build the crash memory range list by traversing through system memory during
the first kernel before we register for firmware-assisted dump. After the
successful dump registration, initialize the elfcore header and populate
PT_LOAD program headers with crash memory ranges. The elfcore header is
saved in the scratch area within the reserved memory. The scratch area starts
at the end of the memory reserved for saving RMR region contents. The
scratch area contains fadump crash info structure that contains magic number
for fadump validation and physical address where the eflcore header can be
found. This structure will also be used to pass some important crash info
data to the second kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core
header with correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. Since
the firmware preserves the entire partition memory at the time of crash the
contents of the scratch area will be preserved till second kernel boot.

Since the memory dump exported through /proc/vmcore is in ELF format similar
to kdump, it will help us to reuse the kdump infrastructure for dump capture
and filtering. Unlike phyp dump, userspace tool does not need to refer any
sysfs interface while reading /proc/vmcore.

NOTE: The current design implementation does not address a possibility of
introducing additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting
compatibility. It's on TODO list to come up with better approach to
address this.

Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region
and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of
crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move
RMA region data to the reserved memory area.

If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback
to existing kexec-based kdump.

Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been
adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas
and Manish Ahuja

This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware
assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

There are two separate flags controlling whether or not the MPIC is
reset during initialization, which is completely unnecessary, and only
one of them can be specified in the device tree.

Also, most platforms in-tree right now do actually want to reset the
MPIC during initialization anyways, which means lots of duplicate code
passing the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag.

Fix all of the callers which currently do not pass the MPIC_WANTS_RESET
flag to pass the MPIC_NO_RESET flag, then remove the MPIC_WANTS_RESET
flag and make the code reset the MPIC by default.

The FreeScale PowerQUICC-III-compatible (mpc85xx/mpc86xx) MPICs do not
correctly report the number of hardware interrupt sources, so software
needs to override the detected value with "256".

scenario, allow it to be easily overridden in the device-tree.

The mpic->irq_count variable is only used as a software error-checking
limit to determine whether or not an IRQ number is valid.  In board code
which does not manually specify an IRQ count to mpic_alloc(), i.e. 0, it
is automatically detected from the number of ISUs and the ISU size.

In practice, all hardware ends up with irq_count == num_sources, so all
of the runtime checks on mpic->irq_count should just check the value of
mpic->num_sources instead.

When platform hardware does not correctly report the number of IRQs,
which only happens on the MPC85xx/MPC86xx, the MPIC_BROKEN_FRR_NIRQS
flag is used to override the detected value of num_sources with the
manual irq_count parameter.  Since there's no need to manually specify
the number of IRQs except in this case, the extra flag can be eliminated
and the test changed to "irq_count != 0".

The Freescale MPIC (and perhaps others in the future) is incapable of
routing non-IPI interrupts to more than once CPU at a time.  Currently
all of the Freescale boards msut pass the MPIC_SINGLE_DEST_CPU flag to
mpic_alloc(), but that information should really be present in the
device-tree.

Older board code can't rely on the device-tree having the property set,
but newer platforms won't need it manually specified in the code.

The MPIC code checks for a "big-endian" property and sets the flag
MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN if one is present, although prior to the "mpic->flags"
fixup that would never have worked anways.

Unfortunately, even now that it works properly, the Freescale mpic
device-node (the "PowerQUICC-III"-compatible one) does not specify it,
so all of the board ports need to manually pass it to mpic_alloc().

Document the flag and add it to the pq3 device tree.  Existing code will
still need to pass the MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN flag because their dtb may not
have this property, but new platforms shouldn't need to do so.

The mpic_alloc() function takes a "flags" parameter and assigns it into
the mpic->flags variable fairly early on, but several later pieces of
code detect various device-tree properties and save them into the
"mpic->flags" variable (EG: "big-endian" => MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN).

Unfortunately, a number of codepaths (including several which test the
flag MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN!) test "flags" instead of "mpic->flags", and get
wrong answers as a result.

Consolidate the device-tree flag tests early in mpic_alloc() and change
all of the checks after "mpic->flags" is init'ed to use "mpic->flags".

This makes us recognize when we try to restore FPU state that matches
what we already have in the FPU on this CPU, and avoids the restore
entirely if so.

To do this, we add two new data fields:

 - a percpu 'fpu_owner_task' variable that gets written any time we
   update the "has_fpu" field, and thus acts as a kind of back-pointer
   to the task that owns the CPU.  The exception is when we save the FPU
   state as part of a context switch - if the save can keep the FPU
   state around, we leave the 'fpu_owner_task' variable pointing at the
   task whose FP state still remains on the CPU.

 - a per-thread 'last_cpu' field, that indicates which CPU that thread
   used its FPU on last.  We update this on every context switch
   (writing an invalid CPU number if the last context switch didn't
   leave the FPU in a lazily usable state), so we know that *that*
   thread has done nothing else with the FPU since.

These two fields together can be used when next switching back to the
task to see if the CPU still matches: if 'fpu_owner_task' matches the
task we are switching to, we know that no other task (or kernel FPU
usage) touched the FPU on this CPU in the meantime, and if the current
CPU number matches the 'last_cpu' field, we know that this thread did no
other FP work on any other CPU, so the FPU state on the CPU must match
what was saved on last context switch.

In that case, we can avoid the 'f[x]rstor' entirely, and just clear the
CR0.TS bit.

This inlines what is usually just a couple of instructions, but more
importantly it also fixes the theoretical error case (can that FPU
restore really ever fail? Maybe we should remove the checking).

We can't start sending signals from within the scheduler, we're much too

This makes sure we clear the FPU usage counter for newly created tasks,
just so that we start off in a known state (for example, don't try to
preload the FPU state on the first task switch etc).

It also fixes a thinko in when we increment the fpu_counter at task
switch time, introduced by commit 34ddc81a ("i387: re-introduce FPU
state preloading at context switch time").  We should increment the
*new* task fpu_counter, not the old task, and only if we decide to use
that state (whether lazily or preloaded).

After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870e ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").

However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably

 - properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
   open-coded save and restore with various hacks.

   In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
   to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
   TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again.  CR0 accesses
   are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
   no good reason.

 - Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
   that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
   way they save and restore segment state differently due to
   architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.

 - Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines,
   and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing
   else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on
   the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just
   re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit.

   That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the
   infrastructure is set up for it.  Of course, older CPU's that use
   'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the
   state saving also trashes the state.

In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving,
rather than just random historical baggage.  Hopefully it's easier to
follow as a result.

This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.

This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:

 - changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
   problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
   be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
   supposed to indicate).

   So perfectly valid code could (and did) do

	ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;

   and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
   instructions.  Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
   switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
   change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.

   In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
   was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
   generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
   happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
   fat and preemption-safe.

 - On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
   and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
   x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
   separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
   thread_info copy aliases.

   This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
   look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
   interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
   heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
   away the FPU state.

   (It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).

It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling).  And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.

Using a tasklet to call tty_wakup solves the problem.

The page_table_free_pgste function is used for kvm processes to free page
tables that have the pgste extension. It calls pgtable_page_ctor instead of
pgtable_page_dtor which increases NR_PAGETABLE instead of decreasing it.

Avoid calling wake_up() from our NMI "bottom halve" from RCU extended
quiescent state in idle. wake_up() has RCU read-side critical sections
but this will be completely ignored by RCU if the cpu is in extended
quiescent state.
Which means that whatever object is being accessed from within the
read-side critical section can be freed concurrently from a different
cpu.
So make sure we leave extended quiescent state before calling wake_up().

The AMD K7/K8 CPUs don't save/restore FDP/FIP/FOP unless an exception is
pending.  In order to not leak FIP state from one process to another, we
need to do a floating point load after the fxsave of the old process,
and before the fxrstor of the new FPU state.  That resets the state to
the (uninteresting) kernel load, rather than some potentially sensitive
user information.

We used to do this directly after the FPU state save, but that is
actually very inconvenient, since it

 (a) corrupts what is potentially perfectly good FPU state that we might
     want to lazy avoid restoring later and

 (b) on x86-64 it resulted in a very annoying ordering constraint, where
     "__unlazy_fpu()" in the task switch needs to be delayed until after
     the DS segment has been reloaded just to get the new DS value.

Coupling it to the fxrstor instead of the fxsave automatically avoids
both of these issues, and also ensures that we only do it when actually
necessary (the FP state after a save may never actually get used).  It's
simply a much more natural place for the leaked state cleanup.

Yes, taking the trap to re-load the FPU/MMX state is expensive, but so
is spending several days looking for a bug in the state save/restore
code.  And the preload code has some rather subtle interactions with
both paravirtualization support and segment state restore, so it's not
nearly as simple as it should be.

Also, now that we no longer necessarily depend on a single bit (ie
TS_USEDFPU) for keeping track of the state of the FPU, we migth be able
to do better.  If we are really switching between two processes that
keep touching the FP state, save/restore is inevitable, but in the case
of having one process that does most of the FPU usage, we may actually
be able to do much better than the preloading.

In particular, we may be able to keep track of which CPU the process ran
on last, and also per CPU keep track of which process' FP state that CPU
has.  For modern CPU's that don't destroy the FPU contents on save time,
that would allow us to do a lazy restore by just re-enabling the
existing FPU state - with no restore cost at all!

After passing through a ->setxattr() call, eCryptfs needs to copy the
inode attributes from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode, as they
may have changed in the lower filesystem's ->setxattr() path.

One example is if an extended attribute containing a POSIX Access
Control List is being set. The new ACL may cause the lower filesystem to
modify the mode of the lower inode and the eCryptfs inode would need to
be updated to reflect the new mode.
