Currently, write protecting a slot needs to walk all the shadow pages
and checks ones which have a pte mapping a page in it.
The walk is overly heavy when dirty pages in that slot are not so many
and checking the shadow pages would result in unwanted cache pollution.
To mitigate this problem, we use rmap_write_protect() and check only
the sptes which can be reached from gfns marked in the dirty bitmap
when the number of dirty pages are less than that of shadow pages.
This criterion is reasonable in its meaning and worked well in our test:
write protection became some times faster than before when the ratio of
dirty pages are low and was not worse even when the ratio was near the
criterion.
Note that the locking for this write protection becomes fine grained.
The reason why this is safe is descripted in the comments.

Detecting write-flooding does not work well, when we handle page written, if
the last speculative spte is not accessed, we treat the page is
write-flooding, however, we can speculative spte on many path, such as pte
prefetch, page synced, that means the last speculative spte may be not point
to the written page and the written page can be accessed via other sptes, so
depends on the Accessed bit of the last speculative spte is not enough
Instead of detected page accessed, we can detect whether the spte is accessed
after it is written, if the spte is not accessed but it is written frequently,
we treat is not a page table or it not used for a long time

If we encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set
in ->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn
calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address.
On CONFIG_X86_32 this is invalid, resulting in the following
oops on some machines:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f22280
IP: [<c10257b9>] reserve_ram_pages_type+0x89/0x210
[...]

A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region
with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying
it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by
ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache().
Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use
ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on
CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really
don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in
the following bug report,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516
Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA
regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on
CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI
regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to
init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these
regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM
region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows
us to delete efi_ioremap() completely.

The idea behind commit d91ee5863b ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86
pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle()
which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows
cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent).
But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still
be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle. This
depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU.
In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor
(Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get:
Brought up 2 CPUs
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 #1

RIP [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4
RSP <ffff8801d28ddf10>
In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we
do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then
follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up going to
hypervisor twice instead of just once.
The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to
default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup.
We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen. This patch
does that.

Arjan would like to make struct file_operations const, but
mce-inject directly writes to the mce_chrdev_ops to install its
write handler. In an ideal world mce-inject would have its own
character device, but we have a sizable legacy of test scripts
that hardwire "/dev/mcelog", so it would be painful to switch to
a separate device now. Instead, this patch switches to a stub
function in the mce code, with a registration helper that
mce-inject can call when it is loaded.
Note that this would also allow for a sane process to allow
mce-inject to be unloaded again (with an unregister function,
and appropriate module_{get,put}() calls), but that is left for
potential future patches.

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.
The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.
- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.
There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.
Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.
There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.
For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

Fix up trivial conflict in fs/gfs2/file.c (llseek changes)
This was found by inspection while tracking a similar
bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline
since decemeber.
- This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields
were cleared on mips and s390.
- Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs
- Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares.
- Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace
to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared.
On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some
architectures f_spare only has 4 ints. Which makes
the previous technique of clearing each int individually
broken.
I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system
call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having
the compat and the native version working the same.

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c manually.
Ingo's tree did the insane "add volatile to const array", which just
doesn't make sense ("volatile const"?). But we could remove the const
*and* make the array volatile to make doubly sure that gcc doesn't
optimize it away..
Also fix up kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c non-data-conflicts manually: the
reader_lock has been turned into a raw lock by the core locking merge,
and there was a new user of it introduced in this perf core merge. Make
sure that new use also uses the raw accessor functions.

Add a notifier so that drivers can hook into SCU availability in order to
take actions post initialisation when/if the SCU becomes available.
In the ideal world we wouldn't need this and we could avoid any init
dependancies of this form, but in practice we can't do it for some cases.

As with any other such change, the goal is to prevent inadvertent
writes to these structures (assuming DEBUG_RODATA is enabled), and to
separate data (possibly frequently) written to from such never getting
modified.

I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode
update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode"
field to /proc/cpuinfo.
The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks
together with the other CPUID model information.
I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver,
it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode
is updated it fills in the new values too.
I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it
being optimized away when the result is not used.
This turns out to clean up further code which already got this
information manually. This is done in followon patches.
