x86: Don't use the EFI reboot method by default
x86, suspend: Restore MISC_ENABLE MSR in realmode wakeup
x86, reboot: Acer Aspire One A110 reboot quirk
x86-32, NUMA: Fix boot regression caused by NUMA init unification on highmem machines
Previously we would check for acpi_sci_override_gsi == gsi every time
a PCI device was enabled. That works during early bootup, but later
on it could lead to triggering unnecessarily the acpi_gsi_to_irq(..) lookup.
The reason is that acpi_sci_override_gsi was declared in __initdata and
after early bootup could contain bogus values.
This patch moves the check for acpi_sci_override_gsi to the
site where the ACPI SCI is preset.

Testing suggests that at least some Lenovos and some Intels will
fail to reboot via EFI, attempting to jump to an unmapped
physical address. In the long run we could handle this by
providing a page table with a 1:1 mapping of physical addresses,
but for now it's probably just easier to assume that ACPI or
legacy methods will be present and reboot via those.

Some BIOSes will reset the Intel MISC_ENABLE MSR (specifically the
XD_DISABLE bit) when resuming from S3, which can interact poorly with
ebba638ae7. In 32bit PAE mode, this can
lead to a fault when EFER is restored by the kernel wakeup routines,
due to it setting the NX bit for a CPU that (thanks to the BIOS reset)
now incorrectly thinks it lacks the NX feature. (64bit is not affected
because it uses a common CPU bring-up that specifically handles the
XD_DISABLE bit.)
The need for MISC_ENABLE being restored so early is specific to the S3
resume path. Normally, MISC_ENABLE is saved in save_processor_state(),
but this happens after the resume header is created, so just reproduce
the logic here. (acpi_suspend_lowlevel() creates the header, calls
do_suspend_lowlevel, which calls save_processor_state(), so the saved
processor context isn't available during resume header creation.)

* 'stable/bug.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
xen/pci: Use the INT_SRC_OVR IRQ (instead of GSI) to preset the ACPI SCI IRQ.
xen/mmu: Fix for linker errors when CONFIG_SMP is not defined.
During 32/64 NUMA init unification, commit 797390d855 ("x86-32,
NUMA: use sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions()") made
32bit mm init call memory_present() automatically from
active_regions instead of leaving it to each NUMA init path.
This commit description is inaccurate - memory_present() calls
aren't the same for flat and numaq. After the commit,
memory_present() is only called for the intersection of e820 and
NUMA layout. Before, on flatmem, memory_present() would be
called from 0 to max_pfn. After, it would be called only on the
areas that e820 indicates to be populated.
This is how x86_64 works and should be okay as memmap is allowed
to contain holes; however, x86_32 DISCONTIGMEM is missing
early_pfn_valid(), which makes memmap_init_zone() assume that
memmap doesn't contain any hole. This leads to the following
oops if e820 map contains holes as it often does on machine with
near or more 4GiB of memory by calling pfn_to_page() on a pfn
which isn't mapped to a NUMA node, a reported by Conny Seidel:

In the past we would use the GSI value to preset the ACPI SCI
IRQ which worked great as GSI == IRQ:
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 9 global_irq 9 low level)
While that is most often seen, there are some oddities:
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 9 global_irq 20 low level)
which means that GSI 20 (or pin 20) is to be overriden for IRQ 9.
Our code that presets the interrupt for ACPI SCI however would
use the GSI 20 instead of IRQ 9 ending up with:
xen: sci override: global_irq=20 trigger=0 polarity=1
xen: registering gsi 20 triggering 0 polarity 1
xen: --> pirq=20 -> irq=20
xen: acpi sci 20
.. snip..
calling acpi_init+0x0/0xbc @ 1
ACPI: SCI (IRQ9) allocation failed
ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_ACQUIRED, Unable to install System Control Interrupt handler (20110413/evevent-119)
ACPI: Unable to start the ACPI Interpreter
as the ACPI interpreter made a call to 'acpi_gsi_to_irq' which got nine.
It used that value to request an IRQ (request_irq) and since that was not
present it failed.
The fix is to recognize that for interrupts that are overriden (in our
case we only care about the ACPI SCI) we should use the IRQ number
to present the IRQ instead of the using GSI. End result is that we get:
xen: sci override: global_irq=20 trigger=0 polarity=1
xen: registering gsi 20 triggering 0 polarity 1
xen: --> pirq=20 -> irq=9 (gsi=9)
xen: acpi sci 9
which fixes the ACPI interpreter failing on startup.

commit 21a3c96 uses node_start/end_pfn(nid) for detection start/end
of nodes. But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in
/arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y.
Then, we see
mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init':
mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn'
mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn'
So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea...
But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and
should be implemented in the same manner for all archs.
(m32r has different implementation...)
This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs
and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now.
A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c)
for !NUMA
start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn);
end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});
for NUMA (x86-64)
start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn);
end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});
Changelog:
- fixed to avoid using "nid" twice in node_end_pfn() macro.

Commit 916f676f8d started reserving boot service code since some systems
require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called.
However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions.
The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the
conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position,
but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions
which can be reserved.

The earlier attempts (24bdb0b62c)
at fixing this problem caused other problems to surface (PV guests
with no PCI passthrough would have SWIOTLB turned on - which meant
64MB of precious contingous DMA32 memory being eaten up per guest).
The problem was: "on xen we add an extra memory region at the end of
the e820, and on this particular machine this extra memory region
would start below 4g and cross over the 4g boundary:
[0xfee01000-0x192655000)
Unfortunately e820_end_of_low_ram_pfn does not expect an
e820 layout like that so it returns 4g, therefore initial_memory_mapping
will map [0 - 0x100000000), that is a memory range that includes some
reserved memory regions."
The memory range was the IOAPIC regions, and with the 1-1 mapping
turned on, it would map them as RAM, not as MMIO regions. This caused
the hypervisor to complain. Fortunately this is experienced only under
the initial domain so we guard for it.

MAXSMP also increases NR_CPUS to 4096. This increase in size exposed an
issue in the argument construction for multicalls from
xen_flush_tlb_others. The args should only need space for the actual

Also in 2.6.39 it exposes a bootup problem.

Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring
it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us
using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function. This, in fact,
breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being
ever successful if the first candidate fails to load.
With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point
of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch
rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded)
probed paths.
Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread()
will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

We only need to set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped on x86_64 to
make sure that cleanup_highmap doesn't remove important mappings at
_end.
We don't need to do this on x86_32 because cleanup_highmap is not called
on x86_32. Besides lowering max_pfn_mapped on x86_32 has the unwanted
side effect of limiting the amount of memory available for the 1:1

xen: off by one errors in multicalls.c
xen: use the trigger info we already have to choose the irq handler
After a newly plugged CPU sets the cpu_online bit it enables
interrupts and goes idle. The cpu which brought up the new cpu waits
for the cpu_online bit and when it observes it, it sets the cpu_active
bit for this cpu. The cpu_active bit is the relevant one for the
scheduler to consider the cpu as a viable target.
With forced threaded interrupt handlers which imply forced threaded
softirqs we observed the following race:
cpu 0 cpu 1
bringup(cpu1);
set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
local_irq_enable();
while (!cpu_online(cpu1));
timer_interrupt()
-> wake_up(softirq_thread_cpu1);
-> enqueue_on(softirq_thread_cpu1, cpu0);
^^^^
cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE, cpu1);
-> sched_cpu_active(cpu1)
-> set_cpu_active((cpu1, true);
When an interrupt happens before the cpu_active bit is set by the cpu
which brought up the newly onlined cpu, then the scheduler refuses to
enqueue the woken thread which is bound to that newly onlined cpu on
that newly onlined cpu due to the not yet set cpu_active bit and
selects a fallback runqueue. Not really an expected and desirable
behaviour.
So far this has only been observed with forced hard/softirq threading,
but in theory this could happen without forced threaded hard/softirqs
as well. It's probably unobservable as it would take a massive
interrupt storm on the newly onlined cpu which causes the softirq loop
to wake up the softirq thread and an even longer delay of the cpu
which waits for the cpu_online bit.

Some PCIe cards ship with a PCI-PCIe bridge which is not
visible as a PCI device in Linux. But the device-id of the
bridge is present in the IOMMU tables which causes a boot
crash in the IOMMU driver.
This patch fixes by removing these cards from the IOMMU
handling. This is a pure -stable fix, a real fix to handle
this situation appriatly will follow for the next merge
window.

Unfortunatly there are systems where the AMD IOMMU does not
cover all devices. This breaks with the current driver as it
initializes the global dma_ops variable. This patch limits
the AMD IOMMU to the devices listed in the IVRS table fixing
DMA for devices not covered by the IOMMU.

The driver contains several loops counting on an u16 value
where the exit-condition is checked against variables that
can have values up to 0xffff. In this case the loops will
never exit. This patch fixed 3 such loops.

Commit f6511935f4 moved the permission check for io instructions
to the ->check_perm callback. It failed to copy the port value from RDX
register for string and "in,out ax,dx" instructions.
Fix it by reading RDX register at decode stage when appropriate.
Fixes FC8.32 installation.

b->args[] has MC_ARGS elements, so the comparison here should be
">=" instead of ">". Otherwise we read past the end of the array

The flags field of struct resource from linux/ioport.h is "unsigned
long". Change the "type" parameter of coalesce_windows() function to
match that field. This fixes the following warning messages when
compiling with "make C=1 W=1 bzImage modules":
arch/x86/pci/acpi.c: In function ‘coalesce_windows’:
arch/x86/pci/acpi.c:198: warning: conversion to ‘long unsigned int’ from ‘int’ may change the sign of the result
