This patch changes the pfn args from 'u32' to 'unsigned long'
on alloc_p*() functions on paravirt_ops, and the corresponding
implementations for Xen and VMI. The prototypes for CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n
are already using unsigned long, so paravirt.h now matches the prototypes
on asm-x86/pgalloc.h.
It shouldn't result in any changes on generated code on 32-bit, with
or without CONFIG_PARAVIRT. On both cases, 'codiff -f' didn't show any
change after applying this patch.
On 64-bit, there are (expected) binary changes only when CONFIG_PARAVIRT
is enabled, as the patch is really supposed to change the size of the
pfn args.

It is useful for a pv_lock_ops backend to know whether interrupts are
enabled or not in the context a spin_lock is being called. This
allows it to enable interrupts while spinning, which could be
particularly helpful when spinning becomes blocking.
The default implementation just calls the normal spin_lock op,
ignoring the flags.

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
The format:
1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
underscores.

Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants
should have a name which somewhat accurately reflects the actual
purpose of the constant.
Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually
being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely
different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the
problem is.
But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have
achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

(Jeremy said:
rusty: use PTE_MASK
rusty: use PTE_MASK
rusty: use PTE_MASK
When I asked:
jsgf: does that include the NX flag?
He responded eloquently:
rusty: use PTE_MASK
rusty: use PTE_MASK
yes, it's the official constant of masking flags out of ptes
)
Change a15af1c9ea 'x86/paravirt: add
pte_flags to just get pte flags' removed lguest's private pte_flags()
in favor of a generic one.
Unfortunately, the generic one doesn't filter out the non-flags bits:
this results in lguest creating corrupt shadow page tables and blowing
up host memory.
Since noone is supposed to use the pfn part of pte_flags(), it seems
safest to always do the filtering.

Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time. Remove the
X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum. Remove
apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends. The use of
ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
used it for readability's sake.
I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
and here it is. Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
"feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
have disregarded it.
I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
have left changes to them out. The option will get removed from them at
the next run.
Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
everywhere.

Implement a version of the old spinlock algorithm, in which everyone
spins waiting for a lock byte. In order to be compatible with the
ticket-lock's use of a zero initializer, this uses the convention of
'0' for unlocked and '1' for locked.
This algorithm is much better than ticket locks in a virtual
envionment, because it doesn't interact badly with the vcpu scheduler.
If there are multiple vcpus spinning on a lock and the lock is
released, the next vcpu to be scheduled will take the lock, rather
than cycling around until the next ticketed vcpu gets it.
To use this, you must call paravirt_use_bytelocks() very early, before
any spinlocks have been taken.

Ticket spinlocks have absolutely ghastly worst-case performance
characteristics in a virtual environment. If there is any contention
for physical CPUs (ie, there are more runnable vcpus than cpus), then
ticket locks can cause the system to end up spending 90+% of its time
spinning.
The problem is that (v)cpus waiting on a ticket spinlock will be
granted access to the lock in strict order they got their tickets. If
the hypervisor scheduler doesn't give the vcpus time in that order,
they will burn timeslices waiting for the scheduler to give the right
vcpu some time. In the worst case it could take O(n^2) vcpu scheduler
timeslices for everyone waiting on the lock to get it, not counting
new cpus trying to take the lock while the log-jam is sorted out.
These hooks allow a paravirt backend to replace the spinlock
implementation.
At the very least, this could revert the implementation back to the
old lock algorithm, which allows the next scheduled vcpu to take the
lock, and has basically fairly good performance.
It also allows the spinlocks to take advantages of the hypervisor
features to make locks more efficient (spin and block, for example).
The cost to native execution is an extra direct call when using a
spinlock function. There's no overhead if CONFIG_PARAVIRT is turned
off.
The lock structure is fixed at a single "unsigned int", initialized to
zero, but the spinlock implementation can use it as it wishes.
Thanks to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from
Spinning Around" for pointing out this problem.

The Xen hypercall interface is allowed to trash any or all of the
argument registers, so we need to be careful that the kernel state
isn't damaged. On 32-bit kernels, the hypercall parameter registers
same as a regparm function call, so we've got away without explicit
clobbering so far. The 64-bit ABI defines lots of caller-save
registers, so save them all for safety. We can trim this set later by
re-distributing the responsibility for saving all these registers.

Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with
different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least
within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD
system).
sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of
any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts.
sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable
interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs
