26799a6311 x86: fix incorrect __read_mostly on _boot_cpu_pda
The pda rework (commit 3461b0af02)
to remove static boot cpu pdas introduced a performance bug.

_boot_cpu_pda is the actual pda used by the boot cpu and is definitely
not "__read_mostly" and ended up polluting the read mostly section with
writes.  This bug caused regression of about 8-10% on certain syscall
intensive workloads.

3e1e9002aa x86: change static allocation of trampoline area
Impact: fix trampoline sizing bug, save space

While debugging a suspend-to-RAM related issue it occured to me that
if the trampoline code had grown past 4 KB, we would have been
allocating too little memory for it, since the 4 KB size of the
trampoline is hardcoded into arch/x86/kernel/e820.c .  Change that
by making the kernel compute the trampoline size and allocate as much
memory as necessary.

5b09b2876e x86_64: add workaround for no %gs-based percpu
As a stopgap until Mike Travis's x86-64 gs-based percpu patches are
ready, provide workaround functions for x86_read/write_percpu for
Xen's use.

Specifically, this means that we can't really make use of vcpu
placement, because we can't use a single gs-based memory access to get
to vcpu fields.  So disable all that for now.

28bb223795 x86: move reserve_setup_data to setup.c
Ying Huang would like setup_data to be reserved, but not included in the
no save range.

Here we try to modify the e820 table to reserve that range early.
also add that in early_res in case bootloader messes up with the ramdisk.

other solution would be
1. add early_res_to_highmem...
2. early_res_to_e820...
but they could reserve another type memory wrongly, if early_res has some
resource reserved early, and not needed later, but it is not removed from
early_res in time. Like the RAMDISK (already handled).

f97013fd8f x86, 64-bit: split x86_64_start_kernel
Split x86_64_start_kernel() into two pieces:

   The first essentially cleans up after head_64.S.  It clears the
   bss, zaps low identity mappings, sets up some early exception
   handlers.

   The second part preserves the boot data, reserves the kernel's
   text/data/bss, pagetables and ramdisk, and then starts the kernel
   proper.

This split is so that Xen can call the second part to do the set up it
needs done.  It doesn't need any of the first part setups, because it
doesn't boot via head_64.S, and its redundant or actively damaging.

3461b0af02 x86: remove static boot_cpu_pda array v2
* Remove the boot_cpu_pda array and pointer table from the data section.
    Allocate the pointer table and array during init.  do_boot_cpu()
    will reallocate the pda in node local memory and if the cpu is being
    brought up before the bootmem array is released (after_bootmem = 0),
    then it will free the initial pda.  This will happen for all cpus
    present at system startup.

    This removes 512k + 32k bytes from the data section.

For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge pointed out that looking at the boot_params
struct to determine if the system is running in a paravirtual
environment is not reliable for the Xen case, currently. He also
points out that there already exists a function to determine if
the system is running in a paravirtual environment. So let's use
that instead. This gets rid of the preprocessor test too.

320a6b2efc x86: reserve end-of-conventional-memory to 1MB, 64-bit
This patch is an add-on to the 64-bit ebda patch. It makes
the functions reserve_ebda_region (renamed from reserve_ebda)
and copy_e820_map equal to the 32-bit versions of the previous
patch.

Changes:

Use u64 and u32 for local variables in copy_e820_map.

The amount of conventional memory and the start of the EBDA are
detected by reading the BIOS data area directly. Paravirtual
environments do not provide this area, so we bail out early
in that case. They will just have to set up a correct memory
map to start with.

Add a safety net for zeroed out BIOS data area.

31eedd823c x86: zap invalid and unused pmds in early boot
The early boot code maps KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (currently 40MB) starting
from __START_KERNEL_map. The kernel itself only needs _text to _end
mapped in the high alias. On relocatible kernels the ASM setup code
adjusts the compile time created high mappings to the relocation. This
creates invalid pmd entries for negative offsets:

0xffffffff80000000 -> pmd entry: ffffffffff2001e3
It points outside of the physical address space and is marked present.

This starts at the virtual address __START_KERNEL_map and goes up to
the point where the first valid physical address (0x0) is mapped.

Zap the mappings before _text and after _end right away in early
boot. This removes also the invalid entries.

Furthermore it simplifies the range check for high aliases.
