Boris Ostrovsky 511ba86e1d x86, mm: Patch out arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() when running on bare metal
Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to
preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact.

Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away
arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such
environment.

[ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU
  updates" may cause a minor performance regression on
  bare metal.  This patch resolves that performance regression.  It is
  somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ]

Borislav Petkov 6276a074c6 x86: Make Linux guest support optional
Put all config options needed to run Linux as a guest behind a
CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST menu so that they don't get built-in by default
but be selectable by the user. Also, make all units which depend on
x86_hyper, depend on this new symbol so that compilation doesn't fail
when CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST is disabled but those units assume its
presence.

Sort options in the new HYPERVISOR_GUEST menu, adapt config text and
drop redundant select.

Linus Torvalds 2ef14f465b Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
  developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
  one would like.

  The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
  by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
  create initial page tables.  In particular, rather than estimating how
  much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
  memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
  now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
  a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.

  This has several advantages:

  1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
     very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
     early in the kernel startup).

  2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
     from above the 4 GB limit.  This allows kdump to work on very large
     systems.

  3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
     equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
     by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.

  The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.

  Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
  were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
  __phys_addr()/__pa()."

Rusty Russell 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).

v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f (x86-32, mm: Add an initial page table

we fix it properly by doing that initialization before the

Rusty Russell da32dac101 lguest: populate initial_page_table
Two x86 patches broke lguest:
1) v2.6.35-492-g72d7c3b, which changed x86 to use the memblock allocator.

In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which
used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables.  With
the first patch, the direct mapping tables used that memory:

Before: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 7000-1a000
After: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 3fed000-4000000

I initially fixed this by lying about the amount of memory we had, so
the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then...

2) v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f, which made x86 boot use initial_page_table.

This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by
lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir.  So we have to initialize
it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that
fixes the previous damage as well.

For the moment, I cut & pasted the code into lguest's boot code, but
next merge window I will merge them.

Rusty Russell bb4093deb2 lguest: restore boot speed
lguest is dumb and drops *all* the pagetables for set_pte (which is
only used for kernel mapping manipulation, so it's OK without highmem).

But it's used a lot in boot, too.  As a guest optimization, we
suppressed this flushing until the first page switch.  Now we have
initial_page_table, that happens much earlier, so extend the heuristic
to wait until we switch to something other than the swapper_pg_dir or
initial_page_table.

As measured on my laptop under kvm, this dropped the time-to-mount-root
from 48 seconds to 4.3 seconds.

Rusty Russell 091ebf07a2 lguest: stop using KVM hypercall mechanism
This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2a1 "lguest: use KVM hypercalls";
we revert to using (just as questionable but more reliable) int $15 for
hypercalls.  I didn't revert the register mapping, so we still use the
same calling convention as kvm.

KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest
tried to use the VMCALL instruction from ring 1, so lguest under kvm
fails to make hypercalls.  It was nice to share code with our KVM
cousins, but this was overreach.

Len Brown 68ca406930 ACPI: delete the "acpi=ht" boot option
acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was
universally deployed and enabled by default in
the major Linux distributions.

At that time, there were a fair number of people who
or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off,
yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading.

Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht"
are accidental, and thus is it possible that it
is doing more harm than good.

In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht.
In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option.

Rusty Russell cdae0ad5e8 lguest: move panic notifier registration to its expected place.
We used to defer it, so lockdep was happy.  We now init lockdep early
anyway, so just do it after that.

Feng Tang 7bd867dfb4 x86: Move get/set_wallclock to x86_platform_ops
get/set_wallclock() have already a set of platform dependent
implementations (default, EFI, paravirt). MRST will add another
variant.

Moving them to platform ops simplifies the existing code and minimizes
the effort to integrate new variants.

Thomas Gleixner 2d826404f0 x86: Move tsc_calibration to x86_init_ops
TSC calibration is modified by the vmware hypervisor and paravirt by
separate means. Moorestown wants to add its own calibration routine as
well. So make calibrate_tsc a proper x86_init_ops function and
override it by paravirt or by the early setup of the vmware
hypervisor.

Thomas Gleixner 845b3944bb x86: Add timer_init to x86_init_ops
The timer init code is convoluted with several quirks and the paravirt
timer chooser. Figuring out which code path is actually taken is not
for the faint hearted.

Move the numaq TSC quirk to tsc_pre_init x86_init_ops function and
replace the paravirt time chooser and the remaining x86 quirk with a
simple x86_init_ops function.

Thomas Gleixner 66bcaf0bde x86: Move irq_init to x86_init_ops
irq_init is overridden by x86_quirks and by paravirts. Unify the whole
mess and make it an unconditional x86_init_ops function which defaults
to the standard function and can be overridden by the early platform
code.

Rusty Russell a91d74a3c4 lguest: update commentry
Every so often, after code shuffles, I need to go through and unbitrot
the Lguest Journey (see drivers/lguest/README).  Since we now use RCU in
a simple form in one place I took the opportunity to expand that explanation.

Avoid the following:

Rather than chase each new cpuid-detected feature, just lie about the highest
valid CPUID so this code is never run.
