ae9aae9eda memory-hotplug: common APIs to support page tables hot-remove
When memory is removed, the corresponding pagetables should alse be
removed.  This patch introduces some common APIs to support vmemmap
pagetable and x86_64 architecture direct mapping pagetable removing.

All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed if some
pages used as PGD/PUD include not only removed memory but also other
memory.  So this patch uses the following way to check whether a page
can be freed or not.

1) When removing memory, the page structs of the removed memory are
   filled with 0FD.

2) All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be
   cleared.  In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed.

For direct mapping pages, update direct_pages_count[level] when we freed
their pagetables.  And do not free the pages again because they were
freed when offlining.

For vmemmap pages, free the pages and their pagetables.

For larger pages, do not split them into smaller ones because there is
no way to know if the larger page has been split.  As a result, there is
no way to decide when to split.  We deal the larger pages in the
following way:

1) For direct mapped pages, all the pages were freed when they were
   offlined.  And since menmory offline is done section by section, all
   the memory ranges being removed are aligned to PAGE_SIZE.  So only need
   to deal with unaligned pages when freeing vmemmap pages.

2) For vmemmap pages being used to store page_struct, if part of the
   larger page is still in use, just fill the unused part with 0xFD.  And
   when the whole page is fulfilled with 0xFD, then free the larger page.

46723bfa54 memory-hotplug: implement register_page_bootmem_info_section of sparse-vmemmap
For removing memmap region of sparse-vmemmap which is allocated bootmem,
memmap region of sparse-vmemmap needs to be registered by
get_page_bootmem().  So the patch searches pages of virtual mapping and
registers the pages by get_page_bootmem().

NOTE: register_page_bootmem_memmap() is not implemented for ia64,
      ppc, s390, and sparc.  So introduce CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE
      and revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() when platform doesn't
      support it.

      It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named
      CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected
      by memory-hotplug feature fully supported archs(currently only on
      x86_64).

      Since we have 2 config options called MEMORY_HOTPLUG and
      MEMORY_HOTREMOVE used for memory hot-add and hot-remove separately,
      and codes in function register_page_bootmem_info_node() are only
      used for collecting infomation for hot-remove, so reside it under
      MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.

      Besides page_isolation.c selected by MEMORY_ISOLATION under
      MEMORY_HOTPLUG is also such case, move it too.

24d335ca36 memory-hotplug: introduce new arch_remove_memory() for removing page table
For removing memory, we need to remove page tables.  But it depends on
architecture.  So the patch introduce arch_remove_memory() for removing
page table.  Now it only calls __remove_pages().

Note: __remove_pages() for some archtecuture is not implemented
      (I don't know how to implement it for s390).

Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
  developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
  one would like.

  The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
  by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
  create initial page tables.  In particular, rather than estimating how
  much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
  memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
  now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
  a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.

  This has several advantages:

  1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
     very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
     early in the kernel startup).

  2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
     from above the 4 GB limit.  This allows kdump to work on very large
     systems.

  3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
     equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
     by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.

  The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.

  Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
  were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
  __phys_addr()/__pa()."

Pull workqueue [delayed_]work_pending() cleanups from Tejun Heo:
 "This is part of on-going cleanups to remove / minimize usages of
  workqueue interfaces which are deprecated and/or misleading.

  This round drops a number of usages of [delayed_]work_pending(), which
  are dangerous as they lack any form of synchronization and thus often
  lead to buggy / unnecessary code.  There are a couple legitimate use
  cases in kernel.  Hopefully, they can be converted and
  [delayed_]work_pending() can be removed completely.  Even if not,
  removing most of misuses should make it more difficult to find
  examples of misuses and thus slow down growth of them.

  These changes are independent from other workqueue changes."

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are:

  Main kernel side changes:

   - Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
     Oleg Nesterov.

   - Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
     done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

   - tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
     improvements.

   - Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
     Tony Luck.

   - Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
     Shin.

   - This tracing commit:

        tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events

     changes the ABI.  All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
     seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
     libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...

  Main tooling side changes:

   - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:

     To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording.  And
     then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
     and prints them together if --group option is provided.  You can
     use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:

        $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

        $ perf evlist --group
        {ref-cycles,cycles}

     With this example, default perf report will show you each event
     separately.

     You can use --group option to enable event group view:

        $ perf report --group
        ...
        # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
        # ========
        # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
        # Event count (approx.): 6876107743
        #
        #         Overhead  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol

             0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __current_kernel_time

     As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
     and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
     group { ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of
     group leader first.

   - Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
     just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
     directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.

   - Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   - Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
     Stephane Eranian.

   - Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.

   - 'perf test' improvements

   - Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   - Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.

   - perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
     that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
     put in place by organizations such as Fedora.

   - perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
     'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
     snapshots, etc.

   - perf top now supports DWARF callchains.

   - Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.

   - 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite

   - ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other

b7133a9a10 Merge branch 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull irq core changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes are the IRQ-work and printk changes from Frederic
  Weisbecker, which prepare the code for 'full dynticks' (the ability to
  stop or slow down the periodic tick arbitrarily, not just in idle time
  as today):

   - Don't stop tick with irq works pending.  This fix is generally
     useful and concerns archs that can't raise self IPIs.

   - Flush irq works before CPU offlining.

   - Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the next tick to be
     executed, unless it's stopped.

   - Implement klogd wake up using irq work.  This removes the ad-hoc
     printk_tick()/printk_needs_cpu() hooks and make it working even in
     dynticks mode.

   - Cleanups and fixes."

2e32b71906 x86, kvm: Add MSR_AMD64_BU_CFG2 to the list of ignored MSRs
The "x86, AMD: Enable WC+ memory type on family 10 processors" patch
currently in -tip added a workaround for AMD F10h CPUs which #GPs my
guest when booted in kvm. This is because it accesses MSR_AMD64_BU_CFG2
which is not currently ignored by kvm. Do that because this MSR is only
baremetal-relevant anyway. While at it, move the ignored MSRs at the
beginning of kvm_set_msr_common so that we exit then and there.

e259514eef perf/x86/amd: Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h
On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance
counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can
be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses).

Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance
counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these
MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same
northbridge).

We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h
northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce
this sharing.

Move the reservation of low memory, except for the 4K which actually
does belong to the BIOS, later in the initialization; in particular,
after we have already reserved the trampoline.

The current code locates the trampoline as high as possible, so by
deferring the allocation we will still be able to reserve as much
memory as is possible.  This allows us to run with reservelow=640k
without getting a crash on system startup.

1de63d60cd efi: Clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES rather than EFI_BOOT by "noefi" boot parameter
There was a serious problem in samsung-laptop that its platform driver is
designed to run under BIOS and running under EFI can cause the machine to
become bricked or can cause Machine Check Exceptions.

    Discussion about this problem:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

    The patches to fix this problem:
    efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities
    83e6818974

    samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware
    e0094244e4

Unfortunately this problem comes back again if users specify "noefi" option.
This parameter clears EFI_BOOT and that driver continues to run even if running
under EFI. Refer to the document, this parameter should clear
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES instead.

Petr says: "
 I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
 mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
 xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
 entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "

Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:

"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."

The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.

Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment.  In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

0ee364eb31 x86/mm: Check if PUD is large when validating a kernel address
A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads
/proc/kcore:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000
 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110
 [...]

 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370
  [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0
  [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130
  [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0
  [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.

The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD.  If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.

This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.

Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing
/proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it
makes sense.

bc2b0331e0 X86: Handle Hyper-V vmbus interrupts as special hypervisor interrupts
Starting with win8, vmbus interrupts can be delivered on any VCPU in the guest
and furthermore can be concurrently active on multiple VCPUs. Support this
interrupt delivery model by setting up a separate IDT entry for Hyper-V vmbus.
interrupts. I would like to thank Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> and
Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>, for their help.

In this version of the patch, based on the feedback, I have merged the IDT
vector for Xen and Hyper-V and made the necessary adjustments. Furhermore,
based on Jan's feedback I have added the necessary compilation switches.
