Fixes guest crash 'lguest: bad read address 0x4800000 len 256' The new per-cpu allocator ends up handing a non-linear address to write_gdt_entry. We do __pa() on it, and hand it to the host, which kills us. I've long wanted to make the hypercall "LOAD_GDT_ENTRY" to match the IDT code, but had no pressing reason until now.

This change resolves the problem of too many single page entries in pat_memtype_list and "freeing invalid memtype" errors with i915, reported here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123845244713183&w=2 Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn. memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during vm_insert_pfn. This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs. Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region is coming soon.

This patch correctly sets BAU memory mapped registers to point to the sending activation descriptor table and target payload table. The "Broadcast Assist Unit" is used for TLB shootdown in UV. The memory mapped registers that point to sending and receiving memory structures contain node numbers. In one case the __pa() function did not provide the node id of memory on blade zero in configurations where that id is nonzero. In another case, it was assumed that memory was allocated on the local node. That assumption is not true in a configuration in which the node has no memory. Tested on the UV hardware simulator.

It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like 'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work. My bad. 'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"): (a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()' and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does. (b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the call on that CPU. Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel. So let's just work around the silly semantic bugs in that function.

We cannot use work_on_cpu() in the CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE code, because Intel's request_microcode_user() involves a copy_from_user() from /sbin/microcode_ctl, which therefore needs to be on that CPU at the time.

This patch enables each partition's BAU distribution bit map to be partition-relative. The distribution bitmap had been constructed assuming 0 as the base node number. That construct would not have allowed a total system of greater than 256 nodes. It also corrects an error that occurred when the first blade's nasid was not zero. That nasid was stored as the base node. The base node number gets added by hardware to the node numbers implied in the distribution bitmap, resulting in invalid target nasids.

As per SDM, there should not be any aliasing of a WC with any cacheable type across CPUs. That is if one CPU is changing the identity map memtype to _WC, no other CPU at the time of this change should not have a TLB for this page that carries a WB attribute. SDM suggests to make the page not present. But for that we will have to handle any page faults that can potentially happen due to these pages being not present. Other way to deal with this without having any WB mapping is to change the page first to UC and then to WC. This ensures that we meet the SDM requirement of no cacheable alais to WC page. This also has same or lower overhead than marking the page not present and making it present later.

Change the identity mapping with the requested attribute first, before we setup the virtual memory mapping with the new requested attribute. This makes sure that there is no window when identity map'ed attribute may disagree with ioremap range on the attribute type.

To simplify level irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping, Suresh used a virtual vector (io-apic pin number) to eliminate io-apic RTE modification. Level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. So in addition to do the local apic EOI, it still needs to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. Pls refer to Suresh's patch for more details (commit 0280f7c4). Now interrupt remapping is decoupled from x2apic, it also needs to do the directed EOI for apic. Otherwise, apic interrupts won't work correctly.
