Linux and the hypervisor usually, but not always, have the same numbering

The following patch fixes the situation where the loop condition could
generate a next_dec of zero while exiting the loop.  This is suboptimal on
Classic PPC because it forces another interrupt to occur and reenter the
handler.  It is fatal on Book E cores, because their decrementer is stopped
when writing a zero (Classic interrupts on a 0->-1 transition, Book E
interrupts on a 1->0 transition).  Instead, stay in the loop on a
next_dec==0.

I made a patch for debugging with the help of NMI trigger switch.
When kernel hangs severely, keyboard operation(e.g.Ctrl-Alt-Del)
doesn't work properly. This patch enables debugging information
to be displayed on console in this case.
I think this feature is necessary as standard functionality.
Please feel free to use this patch and let me know if you have
any comments.

Background:

When a trouble occurs in kernel, we usually begin to investigate
with following information:
 - panic >> panic message.
 - oops >> CPU registers and stack trace.
 - hang >> **NONE** no standard method established.

How it works:

Most IA32 servers have a NMI switch that fires NMI interrupt up.
The NMI interrupt can interrupt even if kernel is serious state,
for example deadlock under the interrupt disabled.
When the NMI switch is pressed after this feature is activated,
CPU registers and stack trace are displayed on console and then
panic occurs.
This feature is activated or deactivated with sysctl.

On IA32 architecture, only the following are defined as reason
of NMI interrupt:
 - memory parity error
 - I/O check error
The reason code of NMI switch is not defined, so this patch assumes
that all undefined NMI interrupts are fired by MNI switch.
However, oprofile and NMI watchdog also use undefined NMI interrupt.
Therefore this feature cannot be used at the same time with oprofile
and NMI watchdog. This feature hands NMI interrupt over to oprofile
and NMI watchdog. So, when they have been activated, this feature
doesn't work even if it is activated.

Supported architecture:

IA32

Setup:

Set up the system control parameter as follows:

# sysctl -w kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1
kernel.unknown_nmi_panic = 1

If the NMI switch is pressed, CPU registers and stack trace will
be displayed on console and then panic occurs.

while debugging/improving scheduling latencies i got the following
strange latency report from Lee Revell:

  http://krustophenia.net/testresults.php?dataset=2.6.8.1-P6#/var/www/2.6.8.1-P6

this trace shows a 120 usec latency caused by XFree86, on a 600 MHz x86
system. Looking closer reveals:

  00000002 0.006ms (+0.003ms): __switch_to (schedule)
  00000002 0.088ms (+0.082ms): finish_task_switch (schedule)

it took more than 80 usecs for XFree86 to do a context-switch!

it turns out that the reason for this (massive) context-switching
overhead is the following change in 2.6.8:

      [PATCH] larger IO bitmaps

To demonstrate the effect of this change i've written ioperm-latency.c
(attached), which gives the following on vanilla 2.6.8.1:

  # ./ioperm-latency
  default no ioperm:             scheduling latency: 2528 cycles
  turning on port 80 ioperm:     scheduling latency: 10563 cycles
  turning on port 65535 ioperm:  scheduling latency: 10517 cycles

the ChangeSet says:

        Now, with the lazy bitmap allocation and per-CPU TSS, this
        will really not drain any resources I think.

this is plain wrong. An increase in the IO bitmap size introduces
per-context-switch overhead as well: we now have to copy an 8K bitmap
every time XFree86 context-switches - even though XFree86 never uses
ports higher than 1024! I've straced XFree86 on a number of x86 systems
and in every instance ioperm() was used - so i'd say the majority of x86
Linux systems running 2.6.8.1 are affected by this problem.

This not only causes lots of overhead, it also trashes ~16K out of the
L1 and L2 caches, on every context-switch. It's as if XFree86 did a L1
cache flush on every context-switch ...

the simple solution would be to revert IO_BITMAP_BITS back to 1024 and
release 2.6.8.2?

I've implemented another solution as well, which tracks the
highest-enabled port # for every task and does the copying of the bitmap
intelligently. (patch attached) The patched kernel gives:

  # ./ioperm-latency
  default no ioperm:             scheduling latency: 2423 cycles
  turning on port 80 ioperm:     scheduling latency: 2503 cycles
  turning on port 65535 ioperm:  scheduling latency: 10607 cycles

this is much more acceptable - the full overhead only occurs in the very
unlikely event of a task using the high ioport range. X doesnt suffer
any significant overhead.

(tracking the maximum allowed port # also allows a simplification of
io_bitmap handling: e.g. we dont do the invalid-offset trick anymore -
the IO bitmap in the TSS is always valid and secure.)

I tested the patch on x86 SMP and UP, it works fine for me. I tested
boundary conditions as well, it all seems secure.
