Rusty Russell 15517f7c21 lguest: fix timer interrupt setup
Without an IRQ chip set, we now get a WARN_ON and no timer interrupt.  This
prevents booting.

Fortunately, the fix is a one-liner: set up the timer IRQ like everything
else.

Rusty Russell d50d8fe192 x86, mm: Initialize initial_page_table before paravirt jumps
v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f (x86-32, mm: Add an initial page table
for core bootstrapping) made x86 boot using initial_page_table
and broke lguest.

For 2.6.37 we simply cut & paste the initialization code into
lguest (da32dac101 "lguest: populate initial_page_table"), now
we fix it properly by doing that initialization before the
paravirt jump.

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 61f4bc83fe lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.

But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers.  In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.

The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

Rusty Russell 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.

Conflicts:
	arch/frv/include/asm/pgtable.h
	arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h
	arch/x86/xen/mmu.c

Merge reason: x86/xen was on a .29 base still, move it to a fresher
              branch and pick up Xen fixes as well, plus resolve
              conflicts

Yinghai Lu 85ac16d033 x86/irq: change irq_desc_alloc() to take node instead of cpu
This simplifies the node awareness of the code. All our allocators
only deal with a NUMA node ID locality not with CPU ids anyway - so
there's no need to maintain (and transform) a CPU id all across the
IRq layer.

v2: keep move_irq_desc related

[ Impact: cleanup, prepare IRQ code to be NUMA-aware ]

Magnus Damm 8e19608e8b clocksource: pass clocksource to read() callback
Pass clocksource pointer to the read() callback for clocksources.  This
allows us to share the callback between multiple instances.

Rusty Russell a489f0b555 lguest: fix guest crash on non-linear addresses in gdt pvops
Fixes guest crash 'lguest: bad read address 0x4800000 len 256'

The new per-cpu allocator ends up handing a non-linear address to
write_gdt_entry.  We do __pa() on it, and hand it to the host, which
kills us.

I've long wanted to make the hypercall "LOAD_GDT_ENTRY" to match the IDT
code, but had no pressing reason until now.

Rusty Russell b7ff99ea53 lguest: wire up pte_update/pte_update_defer
Impact: intermittent guest segv/crash fix

I've been seeing random guest bad address crashes and segmentation faults:
bisect led to 4f98a2fee8 (vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets),
but that's a red herring.

It turns out that lguest never hooked up the pte_update/pte_update_defer
calls, so our ptes were not always in sync.  After the vmscan commit, the
bug became reproducible; now a fsck in a 64MB guest causes reproducible
pagetable corruption.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 224101ed69 x86/paravirt: finish change from lazy cpu to context switch start/end
Impact: fix lazy context switch API

Pass the previous and next tasks into the context switch start
end calls, so that the called functions can properly access the
task state (esp in end_context_switch, in which the next task
is not yet completely current).
