Because llist code will be used in performance critical scheduler
code path, make llist_add() and llist_del_all() inline to avoid
function calling overhead and related 'glue' overhead.
Cmpxchg is used to implement adding new entry to the list, deleting
all entries from the list, deleting first entry of the list and some
other operations.
Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1).
If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can
be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers. They
can work simultaneously without lock. But llist_del_first can not be
used here. Because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next does
not changed if list->first is not changed during its operation, but
llist_del_first, llist_add, llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add,
llist_add) sequence in another consumer may violate that.
If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be
used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used in
the consumer.
Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock is
needed.
The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with
traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list entries
can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list. The order
of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added one. If you
want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must reverse the
order by yourself before traversing.
The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On
architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
list can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the list in NMI
handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

And also documents setup.c and why we want to do it that way, which
is that we tried to make the the memblock_reserve more selective so
that it would be clear what region is reserved. Sadly we ran
in the problem wherein on a 64-bit hypervisor with a 32-bit
initial domain, the pt_base has the cr3 value which is not
neccessarily where the pagetable starts! As Jan put it: "
Actually, the adjustment turns out to be correct: The page
tables for a 32-on-64 dom0 get allocated in the order "first L1",
"first L2", "first L3", so the offset to the page table base is
indeed 2. When reading xen/include/public/xen.h's comment
very strictly, this is not a violation (since there nothing is said
that the first thing in the page table space is pointed to by
pt_base; I admit that this seems to be implied though, namely
do I think that it is implied that the page table space is the
range [pt_base, pt_base + nt_pt_frames), whereas that
range here indeed is [pt_base - 2, pt_base - 2 + nt_pt_frames),
which - without a priori knowledge - the kernel would have
difficulty to figure out)." - so lets just fall back to the
easy way and reserve the whole region.

xen/x86: Workaround 64-bit hypervisor and 32-bit initial domain.
If a 64-bit hypervisor is booted with a 32-bit initial domain,
the hypervisor deals with the initial domain as "compat" and
does some extra adjustments (like pagetables are 4 bytes instead
of 8). It also adjusts the xen_start_info->pt_base incorrectly.
To deal with this, we keep keep track of the highest physical
address we have reserved via memblock_reserve. If that address
does not overlap with pt_base, we have a gap which we reserve.

Other than the in-tree driver, the hypervisor driver actually cares
about doing this only for the device where the debug is port actually
in use, i.e. it needs to be told the coordinates of the device being
reset (quite obviously, leveraging the addition done for that would

xen/x86: don't corrupt %eip when returning from a signal handler
In 32 bit guests, if a userspace process has %eax == -ERESTARTSYS
(-512) or -ERESTARTNOINTR (-513) when it is interrupted by an event
/and/ the process has a pending signal then %eip (and %eax) are
corrupted when returning to the main process after handling the
signal. The application may then crash with SIGSEGV or a SIGILL or it
may have subtly incorrect behaviour (depending on what instruction it
returned to).
The occurs because handle_signal() is incorrectly thinking that there
is a system call that needs to restarted so it adjusts %eip and %eax
to re-execute the system call instruction (even though user space had
not done a system call).
If %eax == -514 (-ERESTARTNOHAND (-514) or -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK
(-516) then handle_signal() only corrupted %eax (by setting it to
-EINTR). This may cause the application to crash or have incorrect
behaviour.
handle_signal() assumes that regs->orig_ax >= 0 means a system call so
any kernel entry point that is not for a system call must push a
negative value for orig_ax. For example, for physical interrupts on
bare metal the inverse of the vector is pushed and page_fault() sets
regs->orig_ax to -1, overwriting the hardware provided error code.
xen_hypervisor_callback() was incorrectly pushing 0 for orig_ax
instead of -1.
Classic Xen kernels pushed %eax which works as %eax cannot be both
non-negative and -RESTARTSYS (etc.), but using -1 is consistent with
other non-system call entry points and avoids some of the tests in
handle_signal().
There were similar bugs in xen_failsafe_callback() of both 32 and
64-bit guests. If the fault was corrected and the normal return path
was used then 0 was incorrectly pushed as the value for orig_ax.

xen: Fix selfballooning and ensure it doesn't go too far
The balloon driver's "current_pages" is very different from
totalram_pages. Self-ballooning needs to be driven by
the latter. Also, Committed_AS doesn't account for pages
used by the kernel so:
1) Add totalreserve_pages to Committed_AS for the normal target.
2) Enforce a floor for when there are little or no user-space threads
using memory (e.g. single-user mode) to avoid OOMs. The floor
function includes a "min_usable_mb" tuneable in case we discover
later that the floor function is still too aggressive in some
workloads, though likely it will not be needed.
Changes since version 4:
- change floor calculation so that it is not as aggressive; this version
uses a piecewise linear function similar to minimum_target in the 2.6.18
balloon driver, but modified to add to totalreserve_pages instead of
subtract from max_pfn, the 2.6.18 version causes OOMs on recent kernels
because the kernel has expanded over time
- change safety_margin to min_usable_mb and comment on its use

xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking
This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory
("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap. Both
use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization.
Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal
value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean
page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where
Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine.
Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap,
driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when
in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs.
More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.

xen: Use correct masking in xen_swiotlb_alloc_coherent.
When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent
DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB.
The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a
DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff)
our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to
DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits.
By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting
and we get 0xfffffffff.
This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit
compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit.
On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent
DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling
dma_alloc_coherent_mask.

xen/gndev: Xen backend support for paged out grant targets V4.
Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a
foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will
initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an
asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is
expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The
foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the
pager assist (typical scenario for dom0).
This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant
mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and
gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies
foreign grants).
* Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the
target foreign frame is paged out).
* Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers.
The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain.
It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other
status code results in identical code execution as before.
The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a
32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry.
V2 after feedback from David Vrabel:
* Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero
* Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module.
V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell:
* Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated
error code we jump over.
* Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor.
* Some renaming.
* Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface.
V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers.

When unmask_evtchn is called, if we already have an event pending, we
just set evtchn_pending_sel waiting for local_irq_enable to be called.
That is because PV guests set the irq_enable pvops to
xen_irq_enable_direct in xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement:
xen_irq_enable_direct is implemented in assembly in
arch/x86/xen/xen-asm.S and call xen_force_evtchn_callback if
XEN_vcpu_info_pending is set.
However HVM guests (and ARM guests) do not change or do not have the
irq_enable pvop, so evtchn_unmask cannot work properly for them.
Considering that having the pending_irq bit set when unmask_evtchn is
called is not very common, and it is simpler to keep the
native_irq_enable implementation for HVM guests (and ARM guests), the
best thing to do is just use the EVTCHNOP_unmask hypercall (Xen

xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one.
As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the
hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead
we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb)
we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But
before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the
vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor
perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them
up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor
do it correctly.
This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating
idle guest's from one host to another.
xen/enlighten: Disable MWAIT_LEAF so that acpi-pad won't be loaded.
There are exactly four users of __monitor and __mwait:
- cstate.c (which allows acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_enter to be called
when the cpuidle API drivers are used. However patch
"cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle"
provides a mechanism to disable the cpuidle and use safe_halt.
- smpboot (which allows mwait_play_dead to be called). However
safe_halt is always used so we skip that.
- intel_idle (same deal as above).
- acpi_pad.c. This the one that we do not want to run as we
will hit the below crash.
Why do we want to expose MWAIT_LEAF in the first place?
We want it for the xen-acpi-processor driver - which uploads
C-states to the hypervisor. If MWAIT_LEAF is set, the cstate.c
sets the proper address in the C-states so that the hypervisor
can benefit from using the MWAIT functionality. And that is
the sole reason for using it.
Without this patch, if a module performs mwait or monitor we
get this:
Stub out MSR methods that aren't actually needed. This fixes a crash
as Xen Dom0 on AMD Trinity systems. A bigger patch should be added to
remove the paravirt machinery completely for the methods which
apparently have no users!

xen/setup: filter APERFMPERF cpuid feature out
Xen PV kernels allow access to the APERF/MPERF registers to read the
effective frequency. Access to the MSRs is however redirected to the
currently scheduled physical CPU, making consecutive read and
compares unreliable. In addition each rdmsr traps into the hypervisor.
So to avoid bogus readouts and expensive traps, disable the kernel
internal feature flag for APERF/MPERF if running under Xen.
This will
a) remove the aperfmperf flag from /proc/cpuinfo
b) not mislead the power scheduler (arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sched.c) to
use the feature to improve scheduling (by default disabled)
c) not mislead the cpufreq driver to use the MSRs
This does not cover userland programs which access the MSRs via the
device file interface, but this will be addressed separately.

xen/enlighten: Expose MWAIT and MWAIT_LEAF if hypervisor OKs it.
For the hypervisor to take advantage of the MWAIT support it needs
to extract from the ACPI _CST the register address. But the
hypervisor does not have the support to parse DSDT so it relies on
the initial domain (dom0) to parse the ACPI Power Management information
and push it up to the hypervisor. The pushing of the data is done
by the processor_harveset_xen module which parses the information that
the ACPI parser has graciously exposed in 'struct acpi_processor'.
For the ACPI parser to also expose the Cx states for MWAIT, we need
to expose the MWAIT capability (leaf 1). Furthermore we also need to
expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability (leaf 5) for cstate.c to properly
function.
The hypervisor could expose these flags when it traps the XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX
operations, but it can't do it since it needs to be backwards compatible.
Instead we choose to use the native CPUID to figure out if the MWAIT
capability exists and use the XEN_SET_PDC query hypercall to figure out
if the hypervisor wants us to expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability or not.
Note: The XEN_SET_PDC query was implemented in c/s 23783:
"ACPI: add _PDC input override mechanism".
With this in place, instead of
C3 ACPI IOPORT 415
we get now
C3:ACPI FFH INTEL MWAIT 0x20
Note: The cpu_idle which would be calling the mwait variants for idling
never gets set b/c we set the default pm_idle to be the hypercall variant.

xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor.
This driver solves three problems:
1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the
hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data).
2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data).
3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading.
The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor
is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can
make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states.
Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it
needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason
for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the
hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states
transitions.
For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said
information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm()
to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded.
Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which
gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when
the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle)
and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency
scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the
acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information
and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element.
Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading
we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and
call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading.
There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the
physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count.
Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only
up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process
the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs
count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user
choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument. In such a case a backup of the PM
structure is used and uploaded to the hypervisor.
