      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      x86, xen: Disable highmem PTE allocation even when CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y · 817a824b
      Ian Campbell 提交于
      There's a path in the pagefault code where the kernel deliberately
      breaks its own locking rules by kmapping a high pte page without
      holding the pagetable lock (in at least page_check_address). This
      breaks Xen's ability to track the pinned/unpinned state of the
      page. There does not appear to be a viable workaround for this
      behaviour so simply disable HIGHPTE for all Xen guests.

      x86: xen: 64-bit kernel RPL should be 0 · e68266b7
      Ian Campbell 提交于
      Under Xen 64 bit guests actually run their kernel in ring 3,
      however the hypervisor takes care of squashing descriptor the
      RPLs transparently (in order to allow them to continue to
      differentiate between user and kernel space CS using the RPL).
      Therefore the Xen paravirt backend should use RPL==0 instead of
      1 (or 3). Using RPL==1 causes generic arch code to take
      incorrect code paths because it uses "testl $3, <CS>, je foo"
      type tests for a userspace CS and this considers 1==userspace.
      
      This issue was previously masked because get_kernel_rpl() was
      omitted when setting CS in kernel_thread(). This was fixed when
      kernel_thread() was unified with 32 bit in
      f443ff42.

      PCI: add pci_request_acs · 5d990b62
      Chris Wright 提交于
      Commit ae21ee65 "PCI: acs p2p upsteram
      forwarding enabling" doesn't actually enable ACS.
      
      Add a function to pci core to allow an IOMMU to request that ACS
      be enabled.  The existing mechanism of using iommu_found() in the pci
      core to know when ACS should be enabled doesn't actually work due to
      initialization order;  iommu has only been detected not initialized.
      
      Have Intel and AMD IOMMUs request ACS, and Xen does as well during early
      init of dom0.

      x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement · 4763ed4d
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
      NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
      available.  Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
      the available of NX.
      
      This patch:
      
      a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
         into a single x86_configure_nx() function.  EFER control is left
         to the head code.
      
      b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely.  Things that need to
         test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
         and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.

      xen: make -fstack-protector work under Xen · 577eebea
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      -fstack-protector uses a special per-cpu "stack canary" value.
      gcc generates special code in each function to test the canary to make
      sure that the function's stack hasn't been overrun.
      
      On x86-64, this is simply an offset of %gs, which is the usual per-cpu
      base segment register, so setting it up simply requires loading %gs's
      base as normal.
      
      On i386, the stack protector segment is %gs (rather than the usual kernel
      percpu %fs segment register).  This requires setting up the full kernel
      GDT and then loading %gs accordingly.  We also need to make sure %gs is
      initialized when bringing up secondary cpus too.
      
      To keep things consistent, we do the full GDT/segment register setup on
      both architectures.
      
      Because we need to avoid -fstack-protected code before setting up the GDT
      and because there's no way to disable it on a per-function basis, several
      files need to have stack-protector inhibited.

      For some reason, the _safe MSR functions returned -EFAULT, not -EIO.
      However, the only user which cares about the return code as anything
