5dea1c88ed lguest: use a special 1:1 linear pagetable mode until first switch.
The Host used to create some page tables for the Guest to use at the
top of Guest memory; it would then tell the Guest where this was.  In
particular, it created linear mappings for 0 and 0xC0000000 addresses
because lguest used to switch to its real page tables quite late in
boot.

However, since d50d8fe19 Linux initialized boot page tables in
head_32.S even before the "are we lguest?" boot jump.  So, now we can
simplify things: the Host pagetable code assumes 1:1 linear mapping
until it first calls the LHCALL_NEW_PGTABLE hypercall, which we now do
before we reach C code.

This also means that the Host doesn't need to know anything about the
Guest's PAGE_OFFSET.  (Non-Linux guests might not even have such a
thing).

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

133890103b eventfd: revised interface and cleanups
Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.

Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away.  Also,

file*.

This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under

df60aeef4f lguest: use eventfds for device notification
Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
out what device to run.

A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we
find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it
as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of

As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the
main Launcher process.

a32a8813d0 lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networking
lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked.  However, it makes a significant difference to TCP
performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag
and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable.

These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes
patch space, so we drop that code.

Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!

Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

Before:
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		30.7 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	76.0 seconds

After:
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		6.8 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	27.8 seconds

abd41f037e lguest: fix race in halt code
When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting
that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us.

But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race.

So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and
try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the
"break_out" flag before calling schedule.

47436aa4ad Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.
1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.

2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.

3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
   PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.

4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.

5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
   always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
   before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).

6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial

hypercall.  But once the hypercall is done we have to reset trapnum to
a bogus value, otherwise if we exit to userspace and return, we'd run
the same hypercall twice (that was a nasty bug to find!).

This has two main effects:

1) When Jes's patch changes the hypercall args to be a generic "struct
   hcall_args" we simply change the type of "lg->hcall".  It's set by
   arch code, so if it has to copy args or something it can do so, and
   point "hcall" into lg->arch somewhere.

2) Async hypercalls only get run when an actual hypercall is pending.
   This simplfies the code a little and is a more logical semantic.

625efab1cd Move i386 part of core.c to x86/core.c.
Separate i386 architecture specific from core.c and move it to
x86/core.c and add x86/lguest.h header file to match.

56adbe9ddc Make shadow IDT a complete IDT with 256 entries.
This simplifies the code a little, in preparation for allowing
alternate system call vectors in guests (Plan 9 uses 0x40).

48245cc070 Remove fixed limit on number of guests, and lguests array.
Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed
array of them.  This is no longer necessary.

If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is
enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id"
altogether.

3c6b5bfa3c Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcher
In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.

The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.
