Pull x86 vdso fixes from Peter Anvin:
"Fixes for x86/vdso.
One is a simple build fix for bigendian hosts, one is to make "make
vdso_install" work again, and the rest is about working around a bug
in Google's Go language -- two are documentation patches that improves
the sample code that the Go coders took, modified, and broke; the
other two implements a workaround that keeps existing Go binaries from
segfaulting at least"
* 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/vdso: Fix vdso_install
x86/vdso: Hack to keep 64-bit Go programs working
x86/vdso: Add PUT_LE to store little-endian values
x86/vdso/doc: Make vDSO examples more portable
x86/vdso/doc: Rename vdso_test.c to vdso_standalone_test_x86.c
x86, vdso: Remove one final use of htole16()
|

"make vdso_install" installs unstripped versions of the vdso objects
for the benefit of the debugger. This was broken by checkin:
6f121e548f83 x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time C
The filenames are different now, so update the Makefile to cope.
This still installs the 64-bit vdso as vdso64.so. We believe this
will be okay, as the only known user is a patched gdb which is known
to use build-ids, but if it turns out to be a problem we may have to
add a link.
Inspired by a patch from Sam Ravnborg.

The Go runtime has a buggy vDSO parser that currently segfaults.
This writes an empty SHT_DYNSYM entry that causes Go's runtime to
malfunction by thinking that the vDSO is empty rather than
malfunctioning by running off the end and segfaulting.
This affects x86-64 only as far as we know, so we do not need this for
the i386 and x32 vdsos.

The macro 'A' used in internal BPF interpreter:
#define A regs[insn->a_reg]
was easily confused with the name of classic BPF register 'A', since
'A' would mean two different things depending on context.
This patch is trying to clean up the naming and clarify its usage in the
following way:
- A and X are names of two classic BPF registers
- BPF_REG_A denotes internal BPF register R0 used to map classic register A
in internal BPF programs generated from classic
- BPF_REG_X denotes internal BPF register R7 used to map classic register X
in internal BPF programs generated from classic
- internal BPF instruction format:
struct sock_filter_int {
__u8 code; /* opcode */
__u8 dst_reg:4; /* dest register */
__u8 src_reg:4; /* source register */
__s16 off; /* signed offset */
__s32 imm; /* signed immediate constant */
};
- BPF_X/BPF_K is 1 bit used to encode source operand of instruction
In classic:
BPF_X - means use register X as source operand
BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand
In internal:
BPF_X - means use 'src_reg' register as source operand
BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand

One final use of the macros from <endian.h> which are not available on
older system. In this case we had one sole case of *writing* a
littleendian number, but the number is SHN_UNDEF which is the constant
zero, so rather than dealing with the general case of littleendian
puts here, just document that the constant is zero and be done with
it.

commit 7d453eee36ae ("x86/efi: Wire up CONFIG_EFI_MIXED") introduced a
regression for the functionality to load kernels above 4G. The relevant
(incorrect) reasoning behind this change can be seen in the commit
message,
"The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect
that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of
XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y.
XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is
guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits."
This is obviously bogus since 32-bit EFI loaders will never place the
kernel above the 4G mark. So this restriction is entirely unnecessary.
But things are worse than that - since we want to encourage people to
always compile with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y so that their kernels work out of
the box for both 32-bit and 64-bit firmware, commit 7d453eee36ae
effectively disables XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G completely.
Remove the overzealous and superfluous restriction and restore the
XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G functionality.

There are no standard functions for littleendian data (unlike
bigendian data.) Thus, use <tools/le_byteshift.h> to access
littleendian data members. Those are fairly inefficient, but it
doesn't matter for this purpose (and can be optimized later.) This
avoids portability problems.

Hang is observed on virtual machines during CPU hotplug,
especially in big guests with many CPUs. (It reproducible
more often if host is over-committed).
It happens because master CPU gives up waiting on
secondary CPU and allows it to run wild. As result
AP causes locking or crashing system. For example
as described here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/6/257
If master CPU have sent STARTUP IPI successfully,
and AP signalled to master CPU that it's ready
to start initialization, make master CPU wait
indefinitely till AP is onlined.
To ensure that AP won't ever run wild, make it
wait at early startup till master CPU confirms its
intention to wait for AP. If AP doesn't respond in 10
seconds, the master CPU will timeout and cancel
AP onlining.

Which is caused by the fact that generic_processor_info() allocates
logical CPU id by calling:
cpu = cpumask_next_zero(-1, cpu_present_mask);
which returns id of previously failed to wake up CPU, since its
bit is cleared by do_boot_cpu() and as result register_cpu()
tries to register another CPU with the same id as already
present but failed to be onlined CPU.
Taking in account that AP will not do anything if master CPU
failed to wake it up, there is no reason to mark that AP as not
present and break next cpu hotplug attempts. As a side effect of
not marking AP as not present, user would be allowed to online
it again later.
Also fix memory corruption in acpi_unmap_lsapic()
if during CPU hotplug master CPU failed to wake up AP
it set percpu x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID=0xFFFF for AP.
However following attempt to unplug that CPU will lead to
out of bound write access to __apicid_to_node[] which is
32768 items long on x86_64 kernel.
So with above fix of cpu_present_mask make sure that a present
CPU has a valid APIC ID by not setting x86_cpu_to_apicid
to BAD_APICID in do_boot_cpu() on failure and allow
acpi_processor_remove()->acpi_unmap_lsapic() cleanly remove CPU.

Stuff in sysrq.c used to set it to 8 which is supposed to mean above
default level so set it to DEBUG instead as we're terminating/killing all

Tracking dirty status on 2 level pages requires very ugly macros and
taking into account how old the machines who can operate without PAE
mode only are, lets drop soft dirty tracker from them for code
simplicity (note I can't drop all the macros from 2 level pages by now
since _PAGE_BIT_PROTNONE and _PAGE_BIT_FILE are still used even without
tracker).
Linus proposed to completely rip off softdirty support on x86-32 (even
with PAE) and since for CRIU we're not planning to support native x86-32
mode, lets do that.
(Softdirty tracker is relatively new feature which is mostly used by
CRIU so I don't expect if such API change would cause problems for
userspace).

Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located. We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.
This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.
Examples:
1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"
Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate. So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

The DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator support on x86 is disabled when
swiotlb config option is enabled. So DMA CMA is always disabled on
x86_64 because swiotlb is always enabled. This attempts to support for
DMA CMA with enabling swiotlb config option.
The contiguous memory allocator on x86 is integrated in the function
dma_generic_alloc_coherent() which is .alloc callback in nommu_dma_ops
for dma_alloc_coherent().
x86_swiotlb_alloc_coherent() which is .alloc callback in swiotlb_dma_ops
tries to allocate with dma_generic_alloc_coherent() firstly and then
swiotlb_alloc_coherent() is called as a fallback.
The main part of supporting DMA CMA with swiotlb is that changing
x86_swiotlb_free_coherent() which is .free callback in swiotlb_dma_ops
for dma_free_coherent() so that it can distinguish memory allocated by
dma_generic_alloc_coherent() from one allocated by
swiotlb_alloc_coherent() and release it with dma_generic_free_coherent()
which can handle contiguous memory. This change requires making
is_swiotlb_buffer() global function.
This also needs to change .free callback in the dma_map_ops for amd_gart
and sta2x11, because these dma_ops are also using
dma_generic_alloc_coherent().

This patchset enhances the DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator on x86.
Currently the DMA CMA is only supported with pci-nommu dma_map_ops and
furthermore it can't be enabled on x86_64. But I would like to allocate
big contiguous memory with dma_alloc_coherent() and tell it to the device
that requires it, regardless of which dma mapping implementation is
actually used in the system.
So this makes it work with swiotlb and intel-iommu dma_map_ops, too. And
this also extends "cma=" kernel parameter to specify placement constraint
by the physical address range of memory allocations. For example, CMA
allocates memory below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G", it is required for the
devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems without iommu.
This patch (of 5):
Calling dma_alloc_coherent() with __GFP_ZERO must return zeroed memory.
But when the contiguous memory allocator (CMA) is enabled on x86 and the
memory region is allocated by dma_alloc_from_contiguous(), it doesn't
return zeroed memory. Because dma_generic_alloc_coherent() forgot to fill
the memory region with zero if it was allocated by
dma_alloc_from_contiguous()
Most implementations of dma_alloc_coherent() return zeroed memory
regardless of whether __GFP_ZERO is specified. So this fixes it by
unconditionally zeroing the allocated memory region.
Alternatively, we could fix dma_alloc_from_contiguous() to return zeroed
out memory and remove memset() from all caller of it. But we can't simply
remove the memset on arm because __dma_clear_buffer() is used there for
ensuring cache flushing and it is used in many places. Of course we can
do redundant memset in dma_alloc_from_contiguous(), but I think this patch
is less impact for fixing this problem.

On system with 2TiB ram, current x86_64 have 128M as section size, and
one memory_block only include one section. So will have 16400 entries
under /sys/devices/system/memory/.
Current code try to use block id to find block pointer in /sys for any
section, and reuse that block pointer. that finding will take some time
even after commit 7c243c7168dc ("mm: speedup in __early_pfn_to_nid")
that will skip the search in that case during booting up.
So solution could be increase block size just like SGI UV system did.
(harded code to 2g).
This patch is trying to probe the block size to make it match mmio remap
size. for example, Intel Nehalem later system will have memory range [0,
TOML), [4g, TOMH]. If the memory hole is 2g and total is 128g, TOM will
be 2g, and TOM2 will be 130g.
We could use 2g as block size instead of default 128M. That will reduce
number of entries in /sys/devices/system/memory/
On system 6TiB system will reduce boot time by 35 seconds.
