9a0b26e6bc [PATCH] Clean up read write lock assembly
- Move the slow path fallbacks to their own assembly files
This makes them much easier to read and is needed for the next change.
- Add CFI annotations for unwinding (XXX need review)
- Remove constant case which can never happen with out of line spinlocks
- Use patchable LOCK prefixes
- Don't use lock sections anymore for inline code because they can't
be expressed by the unwinder (this adds one taken jump to the lock
fast path)

d3a4f48d48 [PATCH] x86-64 TIF flags for debug regs and io bitmap in ctxsw
Hello,

Following my discussion with Andi. Here is a patch that introduces
two new TIF flags to simplify the context switch code in __switch_to().
The idea is to minimize the number of cache lines accessed in the common
case, i.e., when neither the debug registers nor the I/O bitmap are used.

This patch covers the x86-64 modifications. A patch for i386 follows.

Changelog:
	- add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
	- add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
	- modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

c08c820508 [PATCH] Add the vgetcpu vsyscall
This patch adds a vgetcpu vsyscall, which depending on the CPU RDTSCP
capability uses either the RDTSCP or CPUID to obtain a CPU and node
numbers and pass them to the program.

AK: Lots of changes over Vojtech's original code:
Better prototype for vgetcpu()
It's better to pass the cpu / node numbers as separate arguments
to avoid mistakes when going from SMP to NUMA.
Also add a fast time stamp based cache using a user supplied
argument to speed things more up.
Use fast method from Chuck Ebbert to retrieve node/cpu from
GDT limit instead of CPUID
Made sure RDTSCP init is always executed after node is known.
Drop printk

248dcb2fff [PATCH] x86: i386/x86-64 Add nmi watchdog support for new Intel CPUs
AK: This redoes the changes I temporarily reverted.

Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.

What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.

Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.
Patch handles both i386 and x86-64 kernels.

3adbbcce9a [PATCH] x86: Cleanup NMI interrupt path
This patch cleans up the NMI interrupt path.  Instead of being gated by if
the 'nmi callback' is set, the interrupt handler now calls everyone who is
registered on the die_chain and additionally checks the nmi watchdog,
reseting it if enabled.  This allows more subsystems to hook into the NMI if
they need to (without being block by set_nmi_callback).

828f0afda1 [PATCH] x86: Add performance counter reservation framework for UP kernels
Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance
counters on the x86 chips.  Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to
make reviewing easier.  The SMP portion makes a lot more changes.

Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different
counter.  In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate
event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it
will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they
break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).

This will help prevent subsystems like oprofile from interfering with the
nmi watchdog.

Again, move stuff which shouldn't be visible inside (mostly already existing)
#ifdef __KERNEL__.

This fixes a bunch of mislabelled and unlabelled #endifs in unistd.h and also
cleans that up to conform with what's visible on other architectures, since
the minimal fix for the error reported about would have involved a more
intrusive patch, renesting other ifdefs.

ea424055b7 [PATCH] x86: Make backtracer fallback logic more bullet-proof
The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to
the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once
serving as a separator) of this.

Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as
restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack
tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but
this could certainly be further improved.

Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

2ec7df0457 [PATCH] libata: rework legacy handling to remove much of the cruft
Kill host_set->next
Fix simplex support
Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases

Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the
legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand
the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.

Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
which will make this even cleaner.

tj: folded in three followup patches - ata_piix-fix, broken-arch-fix
and fix-new-legacy-handling, and separated per-dev xfermask into
separate patch preceding this one.  Folded in fixes are...

* ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal
* broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h
* fix-new-legacy-handling:
	* In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly
          incremented during initialization of the secondary port and
          probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1.

	* Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no.

	* When printing port information, both legacy ports printed
	  the first irq.

d2105b10fe [PATCH] x86_64: Calgary IOMMU - Multi-Node NULL pointer dereference fix
Calgary hits a NULL pointer dereference when booting in a multi-chassis
NUMA system.  See Redhat bugzilla number 198498, found by Konrad
Rzeszutek (konradr@redhat.com).

There are many issues that had to be resolved to fix this problem.
Firstly when I originally wrote the code to handle NUMA systems, I
had a large misunderstanding that was not corrected until now.  That was
that I thought the "number of nodes online" referred to number of
physical systems connected.  So that if NUMA was disabled, there
would only be 1 node and it would only show that node's PCI bus.
In reality if NUMA is disabled, the system displays all of the
connected chassis as one node but is only ignorant of the delays
in accessing main memory.  Therefore, references to num_online_nodes()
and MAX_NUMNODES are incorrect and need to be set to the maximum
number of nodes that can be accessed (which are 8).  I created a
variable, MAX_NUM_CHASSIS, and set it to 8 to fix this.

Secondly, when walking the PCI in detect_calgary, the code only
checked the first "slot" when looking to see if a device is present.
This will work for most cases, but unfortunately it isn't always the
case.  In the NUMA MXE drawers, there are USB devices present on the
3rd slot (with slot 1 being empty).  So, to work around this, all
slots (up to 8) are scanned to see if there are any devices present.

Lastly, the bus is being enumerated on large systems in a different
way the we originally thought.  This throws the ugly logic we had
out the window.  To more elegantly handle this, I reorganized the
kva array to be sparse (which removed the need to have any bus number
to kva slot logic in tce.c) and created a secondary space array to
contain the bus number to phb mapping.

With these changes Calgary boots on an x460 with 4 nodes with and
without NUMA enabled.

a4045dff78 [PATCH] x86_64: Enlarge debug stack for nested kprobes
In x86_64 platform, INT1 and INT3 trap stack is IST stack called DEBUG_STACK,
when INT1/INT3 trap happens, system will switch to DEBUG_STACK by hardware.
Current DEBUG_STACK size is 4K, when int1/int3 trap happens, kernel will
minus current DEBUG_STACK IST value by 4k. But if int3/int1 trap is nested,
it will destroy other vector's IST stack. This patch modifies this, it sets
DEBUG_STACK size as 8K and allows two level of nested int1/int3 trap.

Kprobe DEBUG_STACK may be nested, because kprobe handler may be probed
by other kprobes.

Thanks jbeulich for pointing out error in the first patch.

[AK: nested kprobes are pretty dubious. Hopefully one nest
will be enough. This will cost 8K per CPU (4K more than before)]

877ce7c1b3 [AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersec
This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
recvmsg.

Patch purpose:

This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket.  The application
can then use this security context to determine the security context for
processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.

Patch design and implementation:

The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
sockets.  Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message).  To retrieve the security
context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  Then the application
retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.

An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:

toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);

setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
    cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
    if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
        memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
    }
}

sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer.

Testing:

We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
applications.  We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

5c45bf279d [PATCH] sched: mc/smt power savings sched policy
sysfs entries 'sched_mc_power_savings' and 'sched_smt_power_savings' in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/ control the MC/SMT power savings policy for the
scheduler.

Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups
cpu power will be determined for different domains.  When power savings
policy is enabled and under light load conditions, scheduler will minimize
the physical packages/cpu cores carrying the load and thus conserving
power(with a perf impact based on the workload characteristics...  see OLS
2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..)

19eadf98c8 [PATCH] x86: increase interrupt vector range
Remove the limit of 256 interrupt vectors by changing the value stored in
orig_{e,r}ax to be the complemented interrupt vector.  The orig_{e,r}ax
needs to be < 0 to allow the signal code to distinguish between return from
interrupt and return from syscall.  With this change applied, NR_IRQS can
be > 256.

Xen extends the IRQ numbering space to include room for dynamically
allocated virtual interrupts (in the range 256-511), which requires a more
permissive interface to do_IRQ.

0080e66755 [PATCH] x86_64: i386/x86-64 Add nmi watchdog support for new Intel CPUs
Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.

What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.

Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.
Patch handles both i386 and x86-64 kernels.
