This patch removes the experimental status of kdump on IA64. kdump is on IA64
now since more than one year and it has proven to be stable.

acpi_map_lsapic tries to stuff a long into ia64_cpu_to_sapicid[],
which can only hold ints, so let's fix that.
We need to update the signature of acpi_map_cpu2node() too.

module_free() refers the first parameter before checking.
But it is called like below(in kernel/kprobes). The first parameter is always NULL.
This happens when many probe points(>1024) are set by kprobes.
I encountered this with using SystemTap. It can set many probes easily.
static int __kprobes collect_one_slot(struct kprobe_insn_page *kip, int idx)
{
...
if (kip->nused == 0) {
hlist_del(&kip->hlist);
if (hlist_empty(&kprobe_insn_pages)) {
...
} else {
module_free(NULL, kip->insns); //<<< 1st param always NULL
kfree(kip);
}
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

move interrupt, page_fault, non_syscall, dispatch_unaligned_handler and
dispatch_to_fault_handler to avoid lack of instructin space.
The change set 4dcc29e1574d88f4465ba865ed82800032f76418 bloated
SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER, SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 so that it bloated the
functions which uses those macros.
In the native case, only dispatch_illegal_op_fault had to be moved.
When paravirtualized case the all functions which use the macros need
to be moved to avoid the lack of space.

Move the LOAD_OFFSET definition from vmlinux.lds.S into system.h.
On paravirtualized environments, it is necessary to detect the
execution environment. One of the solutions is the multi entry point.
The multi entry point allows a boot loader to start the kernel execution
from the entry point which is different from the ELF entry point.
The non standard entry point will defined as the specialized elf note
which contains the LMA of the entry point symbol.
The constant, LOAD_OFFSET, is necessary to calculate the symbol's LMA.
Move the definition into the public header file to make it available
to the multi entry point support.

the paravirt-spinlock patches caused a boot hang with this config:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Jul__9_14_47_04_CEST_2008.bad
i have bisected it down to:
| commit e17b58c2e85bc2ad2afc07fb8d898017c2b75ed1
| Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
| Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:53 2008 -0700
|
| xen: implement Xen-specific spinlocks
i.e. applying that patch alone causes the hang. The hang happens in the
ftrace self-test:
initcall utsname_sysctl_init+0x0/0x19 returned 0 after 0 msecs
calling init_sched_switch_trace+0x0/0x4c
Testing tracer sched_switch: PASSED
initcall init_sched_switch_trace+0x0/0x4c returned 0 after 167 msecs
calling init_function_trace+0x0/0x12
Testing tracer ftrace:
[hard hang]
it should have continued like this:
Testing tracer ftrace: PASSED
initcall init_function_trace+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 198 msecs
calling init_irqsoff_tracer+0x0/0x14
Testing tracer irqsoff: PASSED
initcall init_irqsoff_tracer+0x0/0x14 returned 0 after 3 msecs
calling init_mmio_trace+0x0/0x12
initcall init_mmio_trace+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 0 msecs
the problem is that such lowlevel primitives as spinlocks should never
be built with -pg (which ftrace does). Marking paravirt.o as non-pg and
marking all spinlock ops as always-inline solve the hang.

The standard ticket spinlocks are very expensive in a virtual
environment, because their performance depends on Xen's scheduler
giving vcpus time in the order that they're supposed to take the
spinlock.
This implements a Xen-specific spinlock, which should be much more
efficient.
The fast-path is essentially the old Linux-x86 locks, using a single
lock byte. The locker decrements the byte; if the result is 0, then
they have the lock. If the lock is negative, then locker must spin
until the lock is positive again.
When there's contention, the locker spin for 2^16[*] iterations waiting
to get the lock. If it fails to get the lock in that time, it adds
itself to the contention count in the lock and blocks on a per-cpu
event channel.
When unlocking the spinlock, the locker looks to see if there's anyone
blocked waiting for the lock by checking for a non-zero waiter count.
If there's a waiter, it traverses the per-cpu "lock_spinners"
variable, which contains which lock each CPU is waiting on. It picks
one CPU waiting on the lock and sends it an event to wake it up.
This allows efficient fast-path spinlock operation, while allowing
spinning vcpus to give up their processor time while waiting for a
contended lock.
[*] 2^16 iterations is threshold at which 98% locks have been taken
according to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from
Spinning Around". Therefore, we'd expect the lock and unlock slow
paths will only be entered 2% of the time.

Switch to using the lock-byte spinlock implementation, to avoid the
worst of the performance hit from ticket locks.

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.

AMD only supports "syscall" from 32-bit compat usermode.
Intel and Centaur(?) only support "sysenter" from 32-bit compat usermode.
Set the X86 feature bits accordingly, and set up the vdso in
accordance with those bits. On the offchance we run on in a 64-bit
environment which supports neither syscall nor sysenter from 32-bit
mode, then fall back to the int $0x80 vdso.

Old versions of Xen (3.1 and before) don't support sysenter or syscall
from 32-bit compat userspaces. If we can't set the appropriate
syscall callback, then disable the corresponding feature bit, which
will cause the vdso32 setup to fall back appropriately.
Linux assumes that syscall is always available to 32-bit userspace,
and installs it by default if sysenter isn't available. In that case,
we just disable vdso altogether, forcing userspace libc to fall back
to int $0x80.

64-bit uses MSRs for important things like the base for fs and
gs-prefixed addresses. It's more efficient to use a hypercall to
update these, rather than go via the trap and emulate path.
Other MSR writes are just passed through; in an unprivileged domain
they do nothing, but it might be useful later.
