      xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor. · 59a56802
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      This driver solves three problems:
       1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the
           hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data).
       2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data).
       3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading.
      
      The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor
      is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can
      make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states.
      Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it
      needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason
      for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the
      hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states
      transitions.
      
      For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said
      information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm()
      to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded.
      
      Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which
      gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when
      the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle)
      and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency
      scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the
      acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information
      and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element.
      
      Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading
      we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and
      call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading.
      
      There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the
      physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count.
      Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only
      up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process
      the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs
      count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user
      choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument. In such a case a backup of the PM
      structure is used and uploaded to the hypervisor.

      xen/enlighten: Expose MWAIT and MWAIT_LEAF if hypervisor OKs it. · 73c154c6
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      For the hypervisor to take advantage of the MWAIT support it needs
      to extract from the ACPI _CST the register address. But the
      hypervisor does not have the support to parse DSDT so it relies on
      the initial domain (dom0) to parse the ACPI Power Management information
      and push it up to the hypervisor. The pushing of the data is done
      by the processor_harveset_xen module which parses the information that
      the ACPI parser has graciously exposed in 'struct acpi_processor'.
      
      For the ACPI parser to also expose the Cx states for MWAIT, we need
      to expose the MWAIT capability (leaf 1). Furthermore we also need to
      expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability (leaf 5) for cstate.c to properly
      function.
      
      The hypervisor could expose these flags when it traps the XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX
      operations, but it can't do it since it needs to be backwards compatible.
      Instead we choose to use the native CPUID to figure out if the MWAIT
      capability exists and use the XEN_SET_PDC query hypercall to figure out
      if the hypervisor wants us to expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability or not.
      
      Note: The XEN_SET_PDC query was implemented in c/s 23783:
      "ACPI: add _PDC input override mechanism".
      
      With this in place, instead of
       C3 ACPI IOPORT 415
      we get now
       C3:ACPI FFH INTEL MWAIT 0x20
      
      Note: The cpu_idle which would be calling the mwait variants for idling
      never gets set b/c we set the default pm_idle to be the hypercall variant.

      We use the __pci_reset_function_locked to perform the action.
      Also on attaching ("bind") and detaching ("unbind") we save and
      restore the configuration states. When the device is disconnected
      from a guest we use the "pci_reset_function" to also reset the
      device before being passed to another guest.

      pci: Introduce __pci_reset_function_locked to be used when holding device_lock. · a96d627a
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      The use case of this is when a driver wants to call FLR when a device
      is attached to it using the SysFS "bind" or "unbind" functionality.
      
      The call chain when a user does "bind" looks as so:
      
       echo "0000:01.07.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/XXXX/bind
      
      and ends up calling:
        driver_bind:
          device_lock(dev);  <=== TAKES LOCK
          XXXX_probe:
               .. pci_enable_device()
               ...__pci_reset_function(), which calls
                       pci_dev_reset(dev, 0):
                              if (!0) {
                                      device_lock(dev) <==== DEADLOCK
      
      The __pci_reset_function_locked function allows the the drivers
      'probe' function to call the "pci_reset_function" while still holding
      the driver mutex lock.

      we need to hold ->wq_mutex while we are forming the packet to send,

      but it'll be too late for us if we oops on that memcpy() from NULL...

      lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures
      
      Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c,
      so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file.
      That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183
      so the duplication hurts.
      
      This reduces the scope of the problem significantly,
      by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and
      referencing that from all architectures.

      user namespace: make signal.c respect user namespaces · 6b550f94
      Serge E. Hallyn authored
      ipc/mqueue.c: for __SI_MESQ, convert the uid being sent to recipient's
      user namespace. (new, thanks Oleg)
      
      __send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace
      for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks
      again :)
      
      do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's
      user namespace
      
      ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before
      including in signal to current.  IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't
      matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting
      the value currently being set is misleading.
      
      Changelog:
      Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to
      	simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating
              (which uid into which namespace).  Passing the target task would
      	make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because
      	current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns).
      Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock
      	in ptrace_signal().
      Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an
      	ancestor or unrelated user namespace.  Pass that on to __send_signal,
      	which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed.
      Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch.  On top of that, handle all
      	SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is
      	current in those cases.
      Nov 10: (mhelsley) rename fixup_uid to more meaningful usern_fixup_signal_uid
      Nov 10: (akpm) make the !CONFIG_USER_NS case clearer

      workqueue: make alloc_workqueue() take printf fmt and args for name · b196be89
      Tejun Heo authored
      alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to remain
      accessible.  This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq
      is being dynamically allocated.  This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and
      friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching
      varargs at the end.  The name is allocated together with the wq and
      formatted.
      
      alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs
      handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to
      alloc_workqueue().
      
      None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant
      name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.
