x86/xen: Free bootmem in free_p2m_page() during early boot

Using the native code here can't work properly, as the hypervisor would
normally have cleared the two reason bits by the time Dom0 gets to see
the NMI (if passed to it at all). There's a shared info field for this,
and there's an existing hook to use - just fit the two together. This
is particularly relevant so that NMIs intended to be handled by APEI /
GHES actually make it to the respective handler.
Note that the hook can (and should) be used irrespective of whether
being in Dom0, as accessing port 0x61 in a DomU would be even worse,
while the shared info field would just hold zero all the time. Note
further that hardware NMI handling for PVH doesn't currently work
anyway due to missing code in the hypervisor (but it is expected to
work the native rather than the PV way).

With the virtual mapped linear p2m list the post-init mmu operations
must be used for setting up the p2m mappings, as in case of
CONFIG_FLATMEM the init routines may trigger BUGs.
paging_init() sets up all infrastructure needed to switch to the
post-init mmu ops done by xen_post_allocator_init(). With the virtual
mapped linear p2m list we need some mmu ops during setup of this list,
so we have to switch to the correct mmu ops as soon as possible.
The p2m list is usable from the beginning, just expansion requires to
have established the new linear mapping. So the call of
xen_remap_memory() had to be introduced, but this is not due to the
mmu ops requiring this.
Summing it up: calling xen_post_allocator_init() not directly after
paging_init() was conceptually wrong in the beginning, it just didn't
matter up to now as no functions used between the two calls needed
some critical mmu ops (e.g. alloc_pte). This has changed now, so I
corrected it.

"The biggest change is full PAT support from Jürgen Gross:
The x86 architecture offers via the PAT (Page Attribute Table) a
way to specify different caching modes in page table entries. The
PAT MSR contains 8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache
modes. A pte references one of those entries via 3 bits:
_PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD.
The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes.
The PAT MSR is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a
pte doesn't matter: the top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same
as the 4 lower entries.
This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode.
Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards
which now have to use uncached accesses.
OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and
the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration
for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of
the ABI.
This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces
tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default
cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0). The tables
are statically initialized with values being compatible to old
processors and current usage. As soon as the PAT MSR is changed
(or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed
accordingly. Requests of mappings with special cache modes are
always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a
fallback to a compatible but slower mode.
Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:
- capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with
full PAT support
- processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as
today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for
some pages
- reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode
Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems,
plus other smaller fixes"

Instead of checking at each call of set_phys_to_machine() whether a
new p2m page has to be allocated due to writing an entry in a large
invalid or identity area, just map those areas read only and react
to a page fault on write by allocating the new page.
This change will make the common path with no allocation much
faster as it only requires a single write of the new mfn instead
of walking the address translation tables and checking for the
special cases.

At start of the day the Xen hypervisor presents a contiguous mfn list
to a pv-domain. In order to support sparse memory this mfn list is
accessed via a three level p2m tree built early in the boot process.
Whenever the system needs the mfn associated with a pfn this tree is
used to find the mfn.
Instead of using a software walked tree for accessing a specific mfn
list entry this patch is creating a virtual address area for the
entire possible mfn list including memory holes. The holes are
covered by mapping a pre-defined page consisting only of "invalid
mfn" entries. Access to a mfn entry is possible by just using the
virtual base address of the mfn list and the pfn as index into that
list. This speeds up the (hot) path of determining the mfn of a
pfn.

Early in the boot process the memory layout of a pv-domain is changed
to match the E820 map (either the host one for Dom0 or the Xen one)
regarding placement of RAM and PCI holes. This requires removing memory
pages initially located at positions not suitable for RAM and adding
them later at higher addresses where no restrictions apply.
To be able to operate on the hypervisor supported p2m list until a
virtual mapped linear p2m list can be constructed, remapping must
be delayed until virtual memory management is initialized, as the
initial p2m list can't be extended unlimited at physical memory
initialization time due to it's fixed structure.
A further advantage is the reduction in complexity and code volume as
we don't have to be careful regarding memory restrictions during p2m
updates.

When a new p2m leaf is allocated this leaf is linked into the p2m tree
via cmpxchg. Unfortunately the compare value for checking the success
of the update is read after checking for the need of a new leaf. It is
possible that a new leaf has been linked into the tree concurrently
in between. This could lead to a leaked memory page and to the loss of
some p2m entries.
Avoid the race by using the read compare value for checking the need
of a new p2m leaf and use ACCESS_ONCE() to get it.
There are other places which seem to need ACCESS_ONCE() to ensure
proper operation. Change them accordingly.

The 3 level p2m tree for the Xen tools is constructed very early at
boot by calling xen_build_mfn_list_list(). Memory needed for this tree
is allocated via extend_brk().
As this tree (other than the kernel internal p2m tree) is only needed
for domain save/restore, live migration and crash dump analysis it
doesn't matter whether it is constructed very early or just some
milliseconds later when memory allocation is possible by other means.
This patch moves the call of xen_build_mfn_list_list() just after
calling xen_pagetable_p2m_copy() simplifying this function, too, as it
doesn't have to bother with two parallel trees now. The same applies

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

x86/relocs: Make per_cpu_load_addr static
x86/smpboot: Initialize secondary CPU only if master CPU will wait for it
This fixes two bugs in PVH guests:
- Not setting EFER.NX means the NX bit in page table entries is
ignored on Intel processors and causes reserved bit page faults on
AMD processors.
- After the Xen commit 7645640d6ff1 ("x86/PVH: don't set EFER_SCE for
pvh guest") PVH guests are required to set EFER.SCE to enable the
SYSCALL instruction.
Secondary VCPUs are started with pagetables with the NX bit set so
EFER.NX must be set before using any stack or data segment.
xen_pvh_cpu_early_init() is the new secondary VCPU entry point that
sets EFER before jumping to cpu_bringup_and_idle().

Size restrictions native kernels wouldn't have resulted from the initrd
getting mapped into the initial mapping. The kernel doesn't really need
the initrd to be mapped, so use infrastructure available in Xen to avoid
the mapping and hence the restriction.

The _PAGE_IO_MAP PTE flag was only used by Xen PV guests to mark PTEs
that were used to map I/O regions that are 1:1 in the p2m. This
allowed Xen to obtain the correct PFN when converting the MFNs read
from a PTE back to their PFN.
Xen guests no longer use _PAGE_IOMAP for this. Instead mfn_to_pfn()
returns the correct PFN by using a combination of the m2p and p2m to
determine if an MFN corresponds to a 1:1 mapping in the the p2m.
Remove _PAGE_IOMAP, replacing it with _PAGE_UNUSED2 to allow for
future uses of the PTE flag.

Since mfn_to_pfn() returns the correct PFN for identity mappings (as
used for MMIO regions), the use of _PAGE_IOMAP is not required in
pte_mfn_to_pfn().
Do not set the _PAGE_IOMAP flag in pte_pfn_to_mfn() and do not use it
in pte_mfn_to_pfn().
This will allow _PAGE_IOMAP to be removed, making it available for
future use.

Instead of ballooning up and down dom0 memory this remaps the existing mfns
that were replaced by the identity map. The reason for this is that the
existing implementation ballooned memory up and and down which caused dom0
to have discontiguous pages. In some cases this resulted in the use of bounce
buffers which reduced network I/O performance significantly. This change will
honor the existing order of the pages with the exception of some boundary
conditions.
To do this we need to update both the Linux p2m table and the Xen m2p table.
Particular care must be taken when updating the p2m table since it's important
to limit table memory consumption and reuse the existing leaf pages which get
freed when an entire leaf page is set to the identity map. To implement this,
mapping updates are grouped into blocks with table entries getting cached
temporarily and then released.
On my test system before:
Total pages: 2105014
Total contiguous: 1640635
After:
Total pages: 2105014
Total contiguous: 2098904

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.

When RANDOMIZE_BASE (KASLR) is enabled; or the sum of all loaded
modules exceeds 512 MiB, then loading modules fails with a warning
(and hence a vmalloc allocation failure) because the PTEs for the
newly-allocated vmalloc address space are not zero.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 494 at linux/mm/vmalloc.c:128
vmap_page_range_noflush+0x2a1/0x360()
This is caused by xen_setup_kernel_pagetables() copying
level2_kernel_pgt into level2_fixmap_pgt, overwriting many non-present
entries.
Without KASLR, the normal kernel image size only covers the first half
of level2_kernel_pgt and module space starts after that.
L4[511]->level3_kernel_pgt[510]->level2_kernel_pgt[ 0..255]->kernel
[256..511]->module
[511]->level2_fixmap_pgt[ 0..505]->module
This allows 512 MiB of of module vmalloc space to be used before
having to use the corrupted level2_fixmap_pgt entries.
With KASLR enabled, the kernel image uses the full PUD range of 1G and
module space starts in the level2_fixmap_pgt. So basically:
L4[511]->level3_kernel_pgt[510]->level2_kernel_pgt[0..511]->kernel
[511]->level2_fixmap_pgt[0..505]->module
And now no module vmalloc space can be used without using the corrupt
level2_fixmap_pgt entries.
Fix this by properly converting the level2_fixmap_pgt entries to MFNs,
and setting level1_fixmap_pgt as read-only.
A number of comments were also using the the wrong L3 offset for
level2_kernel_pgt. These have been corrected.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

This use of a PV-specific function during the PVH grant table setup is
non-obvious and not needed. The standard vmap() function does the

If the timer irqs are resumed during device resume it is possible in
certain circumstances for the resume to hang early on, before device
interrupts are resumed. For an Ubuntu 14.04 PVHVM guest this would
occur in ~0.5% of resume attempts.
It is not entirely clear what is occuring the point of the hang but I
think a task necessary for the resume calls schedule_timeout(),
waiting for a timer interrupt (which never arrives). This failure may
require specific tasks to be running on the other VCPUs to trigger
(processes are not frozen during a suspend/resume if PREEMPT is
disabled).
Add IRQF_EARLY_RESUME to the timer interrupts so they are resumed in
syscore_resume().
