      x86: preallocate and prepopulate separately · d8d5900e
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Jan Beulich points out that vmalloc_sync_all() assumes that the
      kernel's pmd is always expected to be present in the pgd.  The current
      pgd construction code will add the pgd to the pgd_list before its pmds
      have been pre-populated, thereby making it visible to
      vmalloc_sync_all().
      
      However, because pgd_prepopulate_pmd also does the allocation, it may
      block and cannot be done under spinlock.
      
      The solution is to preallocate the pmds out of the spinlock, then
      populate them while holding the pgd_list lock.
      
      This patch also pulls the pmd preallocation and mop-up functions out
      to be common, assuming that the compiler will generate no code for
      them when PREALLOCTED_PMDS is 0.  Also, there's no need for pgd_ctor
      to clear the pgd again, since it's allocated as a zeroed page.

      x86/paravirt: add a pgd_alloc/free hooks · eba0045f
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Add hooks which are called at pgd_alloc/free time.  The pgd_alloc hook
      may return an error code, which if non-zero, causes the pgd allocation
      to be failed.  The hooks may be used to allocate/free auxillary
      per-pgd information.
      
      also fix:
