I found a clever way to make the extra IOPL switching invisible to non-paravirt compiles - since kernel_rpl is statically defined to be zero there, and only non-zero rpl kernel have a problem restoring IOPL, as popf does not restore IOPL flags unless run at CPL-0.

The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided. The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch multicall. To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time. Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated need for this extra complexity.

The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky. We need to clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to correctly copy the shadow. We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which makes shadowing them rather simple. For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page, and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool. Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or released.

It makes more sense to end the stack trace with ULONG_MAX only if nr_entries < max_entries.

Current mmconfig has some problems of remapped range. a) In the case of broken MCFG tables on Asus etc., we need to remap 256M range, but currently only remap 1M. b) The base address always corresponds to bus number 0, but currently we are assuming it corresponds to start bus number. This patch fixes the above problems. (akpm: Arjan suggests that if the MCFG table is broken we just shouldn't use it, rather than try to work around things).

It seems that the only way to reliably support mmconfig in the presence of funky biosen is to detect the hostbridge and read where the window is mapped from its registers.

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is). On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable. Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much. This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to match the changed struct pt_regs.

- Removed an extraneous debug message from allocate_cachealigned_map - Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to return 63 for the case where there was only one memory node. The prevents the creation of the dynamic hashmap. - Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to use only the starting memory address of a node. On an ES7000, our nodes overlap the starting and ending address, meaning, that we see nodes like 00000 - 10000 10000 - 20000 But other systems have nodes whose start and end addresses do not overlap. For example: 00000 - 0FFFF 10000 - 1FFFF In this case, using the ending address will result in an LSB much lower than what is possible. In this case an LSB of 1 when in reality it should be 16.

Remove the statically allocated memory to NUMA node hash map in favor of a dynamically allocated memory to node hash map (it is cache aligned). This patch has the nice side effect in that it allows the hash map to grow for systems with large amounts of memory (256GB - 1TB), but suffer from having small PCI space tacked onto the boot node (which is somewhere between 192MB to 512MB on the ES7000).

This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining. This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth in some case. The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the CPU again and it's better to not pollute the cache with it. Also it is a little faster. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This reverts some bogosity from the dynamic command-line changes made on sparc32 and sparc64. Drivers such as drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c reference saved_command_line, and can be modular.

Preallocate bootmem memory for the PS3 frame buffer device, which needs a large block of physically-contiguous memory. The size of this memory block is configurable: - The config option CONFIG_FB_PS3_DEFAULT_SIZE_M allows to specify the default amount of memory (in MiB) allocated to the virtual frame buffer. - The early boot parameter `ps3fb=xxx' allows to override the default value.
