Rather than trying to deal with aliases once they appear, just completely
inhibit them. Mostly the removal of aliases was managable, but it comes
unstuck in xen_create_contiguous_region() because it gets executed at
interrupt time (as a result of dma_alloc_coherent()), which causes all
sorts of confusion in the vmap code, as it was never intended to be run
in interrupt context.
This has the unfortunate side effect of removing all the unmap batching
the vmap code so carefully added, but that can't be helped.

A memory region must be physically contiguous in order to be accessed
through DMA. This patch adds xen_create_contiguous_region, which
ensures a region of contiguous virtual memory is also physically
contiguous.
Based on Stephen Tweedie's port of the 2.6.18-xen version.
Remove contiguous_bitmap[] as it's no longer needed.

As the processor may not consider GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI as a reason for
blocking NMI, it could return immediately with EXIT_REASON_NMI_WINDOW
when we asked for it. But as we consider this state as NMI-blocking, we
can run into an endless loop.
Resolve this by allowing NMI injection if just GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI is
active (originally suggested by Gleb). Intel confirmed that this is
safe, the processor will never complain about NMI injection in this
state.

With NUMA emulation, it's possible for a single cpu to be bound
to multiple nodes since more than one may have affinity if
allocated on a physical node that is local to the cpu.
APIC ids must therefore be mapped to the lowest node ids to
maintain generic kernel use of functions such as cpu_to_node()
that determine device affinity. For example, if a device has
proximity to physical node 1, for instance, and a cpu happens to
be mapped to a higher emulated node id 8, the proximity may not
be correctly determined by comparison in generic code even
though the cpu may be truly local and allocated on physical node 1.
When this happens, the true topology of the machine isn't
accurately represented in the emulated environment; although
this isn't critical to the system's uptime, any generic code
that is NUMA aware benefits from the physical topology being
accurately represented.
This can affect any system that maps multiple APIC ids to a
single node and is booted with numa=fake=N where N is greater
than the number of physical nodes.

When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter,
the kernel will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that
relates to commit 8827247ff.
The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of
'slot_virt[i]' was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init().
But later in setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will
modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.
The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated
value of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference
old value from slot_virt[slot] directly.
Changelog since v0:
-v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get
adjusted, Hence check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and
PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP.
-v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in
reserve_top_address to re-initialize slot_virt and
corresponding PMD when parse_reservertop
-v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make

ACPI _CRS Address Space Descriptors have _MIN, _MAX, and _LEN. Linux has
been computing Address Spaces as [_MIN to _MIN + _LEN - 1]. Based on the
tests in the bug reports below, Windows apparently uses [_MIN to _MAX].
Per spec (ACPI 4.0, Table 6-40), for _CRS fixed-size, fixed location
descriptors, "_LEN must be (_MAX - _MIN + 1)", and when that's true, it
doesn't matter which way we compute the end. But of course, there are
BIOSes that don't follow this rule, and we're better off if Linux handles
those exceptions the same way as Windows.
This patch makes Linux use [_MIN to _MAX], as Windows seems to do. This
effectively reverts d558b483d5 and 03db42adfe and replaces them with
simpler code.

This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.
We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.
There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.
We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.
The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

Atom erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41:
"If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page
directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this
PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB
entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then
it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by
either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page
translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from
incorrect addresses."

Where as commit 211b3d03c7 seems to
workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of

When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the
corresponding selector is nonzero. This is taken by __switch_to() as
an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry.
However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can
result in inconsistent results after fork().

I experimentally determined that Windows (2008 R2) accepts these descriptors

it finds any PCI devices with BARs outside the windows, it moves them into
the windows.
I don't know whether any machines actually use these descriptors in PCI

KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest

When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it
might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the
kernel stack boundaries, like in this example:
perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
schedule+0x6b5/0x860
retint_careful+0xd/0x21
Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while
rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash.
Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the
frame pointer.
This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the
first caller.

ACPI Address Space Descriptors (used in _CRS) have a Consumer/Producer
bit that is supposed to distinguish regions that are consumed directly
by a device from those that are forwarded ("produced") by a bridge.
But BIOSes have apparently not used this consistently, and Windows
seems to ignore it, so I think Linux should ignore it as well.
I can't point to any of these supposed broken BIOSes, but since we
now rely on _CRS by default, I think it's safer to ignore this bit
from the start.

undefined behavior later. Fix it by explicitly disabling the
gart hardware before initialization and flushing the caches
after enablement.
