The ptep_establish macro is only used on user-level PTEs, for P->P mapping
changes. Since these always happen under protection of the pagetable lock,
the strong synchronization of a 64-bit cmpxchg is not needed, in fact, not
even a lock prefix needs to be used. We can simply instead clear the P-bit,
followed by a normal set. The write ordering is still important to avoid the
possibility of the TLB snooping a partially written PTE and getting a bad
mapping installed.

Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the
subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single
hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for
kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing
a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries
which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode
hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when
changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page
table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics
for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale
mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the
cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when
two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

Remove ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty|young} from i386, and instead use the
dominating functions, ptep_clear_flush_{dirty|young}. This allows the TLB
page flush to be contained in the same macro, and allows for an eager
optimization - if reading the PTE initially returned dirty/accessed, we can
assume the fact that no subsequent update to the PTE which cleared accessed /
dirty has occurred, as the only way A/D bits can change without holding the
page table lock is if a remote processor clears them. This eliminates an
extra branch which came from the generic version of the code, as we know that
no other CPU could have cleared the A/D bit, so the flush will always be
needed.
We still export these two defines, even though we do not actually define
the macros in the i386 code:
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_DIRTY
The reason for this is that the only use of these functions is within the
generic clear_flush functions, and we want a strong guarantee that there
are no other users of these functions, so we want to prevent the generic
code from defining them for us.

This is a the first of a series of patch-sets aiming at making kdump more
robust against stack overflows.
This patch set does the following:
* Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was
inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name).
* Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe
"safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel.
This patch:
On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the
bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should
be avoided.
In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id
ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides
at the bottom of the stack. x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by
this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure.
To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()"
(it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement
for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel. This is a
possible implementation for i386.

On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
lock (directed yield).
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes. Powerpc already does this.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax,
_raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information
provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago
and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid
static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid)
{
return logical_apicid >> 5;
}
is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid
matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped
out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its
bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa.
The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT
table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use
this information to create a table for use at run time.

The use of SEGMENT_RPL_MASK in the i386 ptrace.h introduced by
x86-allow-a-kernel-to-not-be-in-ring-0.patch broke the UML build, as UML
includes the underlying architecture's ptrace.h, but has no easy access to the
x86 segment definitions.
Rather than kludging around this, as in the past, this patch splits the
userspace-usable parts, which are the bits that UML needs, of ptrace.h into
ptrace-abi.h, which is included back into ptrace.h. Thus, there is no net
effect on i386.
As a side-effect, this creates a ptrace header which is close to being usable
in /usr/include.
x86_64 is also treated in this way for consistency. There was some trailing
whitespace there, which is cleaned up.

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.
Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the

Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa
system. Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory
by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating
space for the kva). The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into
this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside
max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable
memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :(
My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the
bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low
memory). Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse
addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be
mapped below the initrd if present.
I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa
based systems.

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.
This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.
For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.
It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.
This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16

2. limit's 4 msb are bits 16-19 in the high word
These haven't mattered so far, because all users have had small limits
and a flags setting of 0.

===================================================================
We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0. This
requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking
privilege level (user vs kernel).
This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather
than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use
Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used
"get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in
the code...
1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a
get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero.
And:
Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0:
a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask
in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)
c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them.
d. Change the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros

Abstract sensitive instructions in assembler code, replacing them with macros
(which currently are #defined to the native versions). We use long names:
assembler is case-insensitive, so if something goes wrong and macros do not
expand, it would assemble anyway.
Resulting object files are exactly the same as before.

kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, i386)
This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the
current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.
The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide
an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd.

In i386's entry.S, FIX_STACK() needs annotation because it
replaces the stack pointer. And the rest of nmi() needs
annotation in order to compile with these new annotations.

The implementation comes from Zach's [RFC, PATCH 10/24] i386 Vmi
descriptor changes:
Descriptor and trap table cleanups. Add cleanly written accessors for
IDT and GDT gates so the subarch may override them. Note that this
allows the hypervisor to transparently tweak the DPL of the descriptors
as well as the RPL of segments in those descriptors, with no unnecessary
kernel code modification. It also allows the hypervisor implementation
of the VMI to tweak the gates, allowing for custom exception frames or
extra layers of indirection above the guest fault / IRQ handlers.

Following x86-64 patches. Reuses code from them in fact.
Convert the standard backtracer to do all output using
callbacks. Use the x86-64 stack tracer implementation
that uses these callbacks to implement the stacktrace interface.
This allows to use the new dwarf2 unwinder for stacktrace
and get better backtraces.

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.
This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:
1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/
2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone
actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]
3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h
4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).
5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
except one where it has subtle humor value.
AK: readded acpi_sci handling which was completely dropped
AK: moved some more variables into acpi/boot.c
