The new code for the interrupt controller in the ColdFire 520x takes
care of all the interrupt controller setup. No manual config of the
level registers (ICR) is required by the platform device setup code.
So remove it.

The old ColdFire CPU's (5206, 5307, 5407, 5249 etc) use a simple
interrupt controller. Use common setup code for them. This addition
means that all ColdFire CPU's now have some specific type of interrupt
controller code.

The ColdFire 532x family of parts uses 2 of the same INTC interrupt
controlers used in the ColdFire 520x family. So modify the code to
support both parts. The extra code for the second INTC controler in
the case of the 520x is easily optimized away to nothing.

Create general interrupt controller code for the many ColdFire version 2
cores that use the two region INTC interrupt controller. This includes the

Create general interrupt controller code for the ColdFire 520x family,
that does proper masking and unmasking of interrupts. With this in
place some of the driver hacks in place to support ColdFire interrupts
can finally go away.
Within the ColdFire family there is a variety of different interrupt
controllers in use. Some are used on multiple parts, some on only one.
There is quite some differences in some varients, so much so that
common code for all ColdFire parts would be impossible.
This commit introduces code to support one of the newer interrupt
controllers in the ColdFire 5208 and 5207 parts. It has very simple
mask and unmask operations, so is one of the easiest to support.

On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory
between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole
in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However,
they want to be able to mmap() the hole.
This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that
there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making
pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is
contained within the meminfo array.

"lockdep: Fix backtraces" reveales a bug in early setup code: when
lockdep tries to save a stack backtrace before setup_arch has been
called the lowcore pointer for the current thread info pointer isn't
initialized yet.
However our save stack backtrace code relies on it. If the pointer
isn't initialized the saved backtrace will have zero entries.
lockdep however relies (correctly) on the fact that that cannot
happen.
A write access to some random memory region is the result.
Fix this by initializing the thread info pointer early.

Suzuki Poulose reported the following recursive locking bug on s390:
Here is the stack trace : (see Appendix I for more info)
[<0000000000406ed6>] _spin_lock+0x52/0x94
[<0000000000103bde>] crst_table_free+0x14e/0x1a4

[<00000200001642b2>] 0x200001642b2
The page_table_lock is already acquired in __pmd_alloc (mm/memory.c) and
it tries to populate the pud/pgd with a new pmd allocated. If another
thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using
pmd_free().
On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(),
which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates.
Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock.
The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu
context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.

Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced
for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and
two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the
stack, along with some other smaller variables. These arrays come
to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the
stack.
This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing
per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct. This is OK because two of the call
sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we
use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't
get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints().
Note that power_check_constraints() can be called during context
switch but is not called from interrupts.

Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
won't count anything.
Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
- oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
the PMU config.
- The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
when it finishes.
- oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular
it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.
This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call
ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.
This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
isn't defined anywhere.

As reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/511703> and
<http://bugs.debian.org/515982>, kernels with paravirt-alternatives
enabled crash in text_poke_early() on at least some 486-class
processors.
The problem is that text_poke_early() itself uses inline functions
affected by paravirt-alternatives and so will modify instructions that
have already been prefetched. Pentium and later processors will
invalidate the prefetched instructions in this case, but 486-class
processors do not.
Change sync_core() to limit prefetching on 486-class (and 386-class)
processors, and move the call to sync_core() above the call to the
modifiable local_irq_restore().

Commit b8bcfe997e made paravirt pte updates synchronous in interrupt
context.
Unfortunately the KVM pv mmu code caches the lazy/nonlazy mode
internally, so a pte update from interrupt context during a lazy mmu
operation can be batched while it should be performed synchronously.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518022

ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.
Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.
However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.
Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.
To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().
We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via
ioeventfd.
You can download this test harness here:
ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2
The measured results are as follows:
qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt
I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:
qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt
these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.
Here is a graph for your convenience:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png
The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer
interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer
is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or
the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is
accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit
hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date
since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit
timer.
The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to
0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual
value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later
reenablement.
