2bff73830c [PATCH] x86-64: use lru instead of page->index and page->private for pgd lists management.
x86_64 currently simulates a list using the index and private fields of the
page struct.  Seems that the code was inherited from i386.  But x86_64 does
not use the slab to allocate pgds and pmds etc.  So the lru field is not
used by the slab and therefore available.

This patch uses standard list operations on page->lru to realize pgd
tracking.

Move X86_EFLAGS_IF et al out to a new header: processor-flags.h, so we

As a side-effect, we could now use these flags in .S files.

6fb14755a6 [PATCH] x86: tighten kernel image page access rights
On x86-64, kernel memory freed after init can be entirely unmapped instead
of just getting 'poisoned' by overwriting with a debug pattern.

On i386 and x86-64 (under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA), kernel text and bug table
can also be write-protected.

Compared to the first version, this one prevents re-creating deleted
mappings in the kernel image range on x86-64, if those got removed
previously. This, together with the original changes, prevents temporarily
having inconsistent mappings when cacheability attributes are being
changed on such pages (e.g. from AGP code). While on i386 such duplicate
mappings don't exist, the same change is done there, too, both for
consistency and because checking pte_present() before using various other
pte_XXX functions is a requirement anyway. At once, i386 code gets
adjusted to use pte_huge() instead of open coding this.

90a0a06aa8 [PATCH] i386: rationalize paravirt wrappers
paravirt.c used to implement native versions of all low-level
functions.  Far cleaner is to have the native versions exposed in the
headers and as inline native_XXX, and if !CONFIG_PARAVIRT, then simply
#define XXX native_XXX.

There are several nice side effects:

1) write_dt_entry() now takes the correct "struct Xgt_desc_struct *"
   not "void *".

2) load_TLS is reintroduced to the for loop, not manually unrolled
   with a #error in case the bounds ever change.

3) Macros become inlines, with type checking.

4) Access to the native versions is trivial for KVM, lguest, Xen and
   others who might want it.

bf50467204 [PATCH] i386: Use per-cpu GDT immediately upon boot
Now we are no longer dynamically allocating the GDT, we don't need the
"cpu_gdt_table" at all: we can switch straight from "boot_gdt_table" to the
per-cpu GDT.  This means initializing the cpu_gdt array in C.

The boot CPU uses the per-cpu var directly, then in smp_prepare_cpus() it
switches to the per-cpu copy just allocated.  For secondary CPUs, the
early_gdt_descr is set to point directly to their per-cpu copy.

For UP the code is very simple: it keeps using the "per-cpu" GDT as per SMP,
but we never have to move.

8f9aeca7a0 [PATCH] x86: add command line length to boot protocol
Because the command line is increased to 2048 characters after 2.6.21, it's
not possible for boot loaders and userspace tools to determine the length
of the command line the kernel can understand.  The benefit of knowing the
length is that users can be warned if the command line size is too long
which prevents surprise if things don't work after bootup.

This patch updates the boot protocol to contain a field called
"cmdline_size" that contain the length of the command line (excluding the
terminating zero).

The patch also adds missing fields (of protocol version 2.05) to the x86_64
setup code.

79e030114a [PATCH] i386: Allow i386 crash kernels to handle x86_64 dumps
The specific case I am encountering is kdump under Xen with a 64 bit
hypervisor and 32 bit kernel/userspace.  The dump created is 64 bit due to
the hypervisor but the dump kernel is 32 bit for maximum compatibility.

It's possibly less likely to be useful in a purely native scenario but I
see no reason to disallow it.

692174b97d [PATCH] i386: Initialize esp0 properly all the time
Whenever we schedule, __switch_to calls load_esp0 which does:

	tss->esp0 = thread->esp0;

This is never initialized for the initial thread (ie "swapper"), so when we're
scheduling that, we end up setting esp0 to 0.  This is fine: the swapper never
leaves ring 0, so this field is never used.

lguest, however, gets upset that we're trying to used an unmapped page as our
kernel stack.  Rather than work around it there, let's initialize it.

known based on their capacity for resource management.

8b8ca80e19 [PATCH] x86-64: configurable fake numa node sizes
Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes.  These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.

The old command-line option is still supported:
  numa=fake=32	gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
		actual machine.

But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
  numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
		gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
		the rest of system memory to a sixth node.

The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.

Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range.  The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate.  These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.

Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

I guess it is a good idea to keep HASHDIST_DEFAULT "on" for x86_64 NUMA
since x86_64 has no dearth of vmalloc space?  Or maybe enable hash
distribution for all 64bit NUMA arches?  The following patch does it only
for x86_64.

I ran a HPC MPI benchmark -- 'Ansys wingsolid', which takes up quite a bit of
memory and uses up tlb entries.  This was on a 4 way, 2 socket
Tyan AMD box (non vsmp), with 8G total memory (4G pernode).

The results with and without hash distribution are:

1. Vanilla - runtime of 1188.000s
2. With hashdist=1 runtime of 1154.000s

Oprofile output for the duration of run is:

a4831e08b7 [PATCH] x86-64: Move cpu verification code to common file
o This patch moves the code to verify long mode and SSE to a common file.
  This code is now shared by trampoline.S, wakeup.S, boot/setup.S and
  boot/compressed/head.S

o So far we used to do very limited check in trampoline.S, wakeup.S and
  in 32bit entry point. Now all the entry paths are forced to do the
  exhaustive check, including SSE because verify_cpu is shared.

o I am keeping this patch as last in the x86 relocatable series because
  previous patches have got quite some amount of testing done and don't want
  to distrub that. So that if there is problem introduced by this patch, at
  least it can be easily isolated.

6a50a664ca [PATCH] x86-64: build-time checking
o X86_64 kernel should run from 2MB aligned address for two reasons.
	- Performance.
	- For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference
	  between compile time address and load time physical address.
	  This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data
	  is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB
	  aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time
	  kernel addresses are 2MB aligned.

o Flag the error at compile time if one is trying to build a kernel which
  does not meet alignment restrictions.

1ab60e0f72 [PATCH] x86-64: Relocatable Kernel Support
This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run
at any 2M aligned address, below 512G.  The technique used is to
compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor
is fully relocatable.  For the main kernel the page tables are
modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address.  In
addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address
the kernel is loaded at.  __pa_symbol is modified to add that when
we take the address of a kernel symbol.

When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress
the kernel to 2M and it will run there.  This both ensures the
relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M
pages for the kernel and the cpu.

AK: changed to not make RELOCATABLE default in Kconfig

0dbf7028c0 [PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation
Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.

__pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
spaces.  This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
__pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
the address.

There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
__pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.

Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
__pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one.  A little of
it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
instead of recalculating it several times.

swapper_pgd is now NULL.  leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd.  The
physical address changed.

Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization.  So this
should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
kernel.

As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
for anything I missed.  But it works for me (tm).

o virt_to_page() call should be used on kernel linear addresses and not
  on kernel text and data addresses. Swsusp code uses it on kernel data
  (statically allocated swsusp_header).

o Allocate swsusp_header dynamically so that virt_to_page() can be used
  safely.

  no longer support kernel text and data addresses and hibernation breaks.

49c3df6aaa [PATCH] x86: Move swsusp __pa() dependent code to arch portion
o __pa() should be used only on kernel linearly mapped virtual addresses
  and not on kernel text and data addresses.

o Hibernation code needs to determine the physical address associated
  with kernel symbol to mark a section boundary which contains pages which
  don't have to be saved and restored during hibernate/resume operation.

o Move this piece of code in arch dependent section. So that architectures
  which don't have kernel text/data mapped into kernel linearly mapped
  region can come up with their own ways of determining physical addresses
  associated with a kernel text.

cfd243d4af [PATCH] x86-64: Remove the identity mapping as early as possible
With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page
allocator there is nothing that needs identity mapped pages,
once we start executing C code.

So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove
zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code.  The functions
 are subtly different thus the name change.

This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier
attempt to move the identity mappings as early as possible,
and is now no longer needed.  Essentially I have replaced
boot_level4_pgt with trampoline_level4_pgt in trampoline.S

d8e1baf10d [PATCH] x86-64: 64bit ACPI wakeup trampoline
o Moved wakeup_level4_pgt into the wakeup routine so we can
  run the kernel above 4G.

o Now we first go to 64bit mode and continue to run from trampoline and
  then then start accessing kernel symbols and restore processor context.
  This enables us to resume even in relocatable kernel context when
  kernel might not be loaded at physical addr it has been compiled for.

o Removed the need for modifying any existing kernel page table.

o Increased the size of the wakeup routine to 8K. This is required as
  wake page tables are on trampoline itself and they got to be at 4K
  boundary, hence one page is not sufficient.

o Various cleanups. One of the main purpose of cleanups is that make

o Following are the changes
	- Indentations for comments.
	- Changed the gdt table to compact form and to resemble the
	  one in trampoline.S
	- Take the jump to 32bit from real mode using ljmpl. Makes code
	  more readable.
	- After enabling long mode, directly take a long jump for 64bit
	  mode. No need to take an extra jump to "reach_comaptibility_mode"
	- Stack is not used after real mode. So don't load stack in
 	  32 bit mode.
	- No need to enable PGE here.
	- No need to do extra EFER read, anyway we trash the read contents.
	- No need to enable system call (EFER_SCE). Anyway it will be
	  enabled when original EFER is restored.
	- No need to set MP, ET, NE, WP, AM bits in cr0. Very soon we will
  	  reload the original cr0 while restroing the processor state.
