5e0d2a6fc0 PCI: iommu: iotlb flushing
This patch is for batching up the flushing of the IOTLB for the DMAR
implementation found in the Intel VT-d hardware.  It works by building a list
of to be flushed IOTLB entries and a bitmap list of which DMAR engine they are
from.

After either a high water mark (250 accessible via debugfs) or 10ms the list
of iova's will be reclaimed and the DMAR engines associated are IOTLB-flushed.

This approach recovers 15 to 20% of the performance lost when using the IOMMU
for my netperf udp stream benchmark with small packets.  It can be disabled
with a kernel boot parameter "intel_iommu=strict".

Its use does weaken the IOMMU protections a bit.

1ba6ab11d8 PCI: remove initial bios sort of PCI devices on x86
We currently keep 2 lists of PCI devices in the system, one in the
driver core, and one all on its own.  This second list is sorted at boot
time, in "BIOS" order, to try to remain compatible with older kernels
(2.2 and earlier days).  There was also a "nosort" option to turn this
sorting off, to remain compatible with even older kernel versions, but
that just ends up being what we have been doing from 2.5 days...

Unfortunately, the second list of devices is not really ever used to 
determine the probing order of PCI devices or drivers[1].  That is done
using the driver core list instead.  This change happened back in the
early 2.5 days.

Relying on BIOS ording for the binding of drivers to specific device
names is problematic for many reasons, and userspace tools like udev
exist to properly name devices in a persistant manner if that is needed,
no reliance on the BIOS is needed.

Matt Domsch and others at Dell noticed this back in 2006, and added a
boot option to sort the PCI device lists (both of them) in a
breadth-first manner to help remain compatible with the 2.4 order, if
needed for any reason.  This option is not going away, as some systems
rely on them.

This patch removes the sorting of the internal PCI device list in "BIOS"
mode, as it's not needed at all anymore, and hasn't for many years.
I've also removed the PCI flags for this from some other arches that for
some reason defined them, but never used them.

This should not change the ordering of any drivers or device probing.

[1] The old-style pci_get_device and pci_find_device() still used this
sorting order, but there are very few drivers that use these functions,
as they are deprecated for use in this manner.  If for some reason, a
driver rely on the order and uses these functions, the breadth-first
boot option will resolve any problem.

076c54c5bc Security: Introduce security= boot parameter
Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM
registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module.

User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no
security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM
asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security
module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen.

LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register
by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux
and SMACK to do so.

Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on
boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and
the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.

8bab8dded6 cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot time
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:

- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy
- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem

As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time;
all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on
a visible hierarchy.  Any additional effects (e.g.  not allocating metadata)
are up to the foo subsystem.

This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be,
but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems
wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing
since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run.

Hugh said:

  Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than
  processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead
  to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to
  1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page).

  I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in
  CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or
  without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.

Unix bench's execl test result on x86_64 was

== just after boot without mounting any cgroup fs.==
mem_cgorup=off : Execl Throughput       43.0     3150.1      732.6
mem_cgroup=on  : Execl Throughput       43.0     2932.6      682.0

7731ce63d9 ACPI PM: Restore the 2.6.24 suspend ordering
Some time ago it turned out that our suspend code ordering broke some
NVidia-based systems that hung if _PTS was executed with one of the PCI
devices, specifically a USB controller, in a low power state.

Then, it was noticed that the suspend code ordering was not compliant
with ACPI 1.0, although it was compliant with ACPI 2.0 (and later), and
it was argued that the code had to be changed for that reason (ref.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528).

So we did, but evidently we did wrong, because it's now turning out that
some systems have been broken by this change. Refs:
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10340
	https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374217#c16

[ I said at that time that something like this might happend, but the
  majority of people involved thought that it was improbable due to the
  necessity to preserve the compliance of hardware with ACPI 1.0. ]

This actually is a quite serious regression from 2.6.24.

Moreover, the ACPI 1.0 ordering of suspend code introduced another issue
that I have only noticed recently.  Namely, if the suspend of one of
devices fails, the already suspended devices will be resumed without
executing _WAK before, which leads to problems on some systems (for
example, in such situations thermal management is broken on my HP
nx6325).  Consequently, it also breaks suspend debugging on the affected
systems.

Note also, that the requirement to execute _PTS before suspending
devices does not really make sense, because the device in question may
be put into a low power state at run time for a reason unrelated to a
system-wide suspend.

For the reasons outlined above, the change of the suspend ordering
should be reverted, which is done by the patch below.

[ Felix Möller: "I am the reporter from the original Novell Bug:

	https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374217

  I just tried current git head (two hours ago) with the patch (the one
  from the beginning of this thread) from Rafael and without it.  With
  the patch my MacBook does suspend without it does not." ]

9a9e0d6855 ACPI: Remove ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD option
This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9ad
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply
isn't ready.

It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach.  The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.

For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option.  We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.

60417f5976 ACPI suspend: Call _PTS before suspending devices
The ACPI 1.0 specification wants us to put devices into low power
states after executing the _PTS global control method, while ACPI
2.0 and later want us to do that in the reverse order.  The current
suspend code follows ACPI 2.0 in that respect which causes some
ACPI 1.0x systems to hang during suspend (ref.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528).

Make the suspend code execute _PTS before putting devices into low
power states (ie. in accordance with ACPI 1.0x) and provide a command
line option to override the default if need be.

093af8d7f0 x86_32: trim memory by updating e820
when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the
RAM and need to update e820.

reuse some code on 64-bit as well.

here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move
mtrr_bp_init early.

The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system:

from:

 [    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable)

to:

 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable)
 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved)

According to Justin it makes quite a difference:

|  When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386,
|  takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).

99fc8d424b x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrs
On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached.  Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e.  right around init time).

This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match.  A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.

Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.

This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

aaf2304242 x86: disable the GART early, 64-bit
For K8 system: 4G RAM with memory hole remapping enabled, or more than
4G RAM installed.

when try to use kexec second kernel, and the first doesn't include
gart_shutdown. the second kernel could have different aper position than
the first kernel. and second kernel could use that hole as RAM that is
still used by GART set by the first kernel. esp. when try to kexec
2.6.24 with sparse mem enable from previous kernel (from RHEL 5 or SLES
10). the new kernel will use aper by GART (set by first kernel) for
vmemmap. and after new kernel setting one new GART. the position will be
real RAM. the _mapcount set is lost.

So could try to disable that GART if possible.

add e820 modification for gart inconsistent setting.

gart_fix_e820=off could be used to disable e820 fix.

a25bd94964 x86: add the "print code before the trapping instruction" feature to 64 bit
The 32 bit x86 tree has a very useful feature that prints the Code: line
for the code even before the trapping instrution (and the start of the
trapping instruction is then denoted with a <>). Unfortunately, the 64 bit
x86 tree does not yet have this feature, making diagnosing backtraces harder
than needed.

This patch adds this feature in the same was as the 32 bit tree has
(including the same kernel boot parameter), and including a bugfix
to make the code use probe_kernel_address() rarther than a buggy (deadlocking)
__get_user.

af65d64845 x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32
This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.

The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel.  That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address.  The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel.  (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)

The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time.  The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.
