The use of base for %ebx in this file is arbitrary, *except* that we
also use it to compute the real-mode segment.  Therefore, make it so
that r_base really is the true address to which %ebx points.

This resolves kernel bugzilla 33302.

mask_rw_pte is currently checking if a pfn is a pagetable page if it
falls in the range pgt_buf_start - pgt_buf_end but that is incorrect
because pgt_buf_end is a moving target: pgt_buf_top is the real
boundary.

commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e
Author: Yinghai Lu &lt;yinghai@kernel.org&gt;
Date:   Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800

    x86-64, mm: Put early page table high

it causes the Linux kernel to crash under Xen:

mapping kernel into physical memory
Xen: setup ISA identity maps
about to get started...
(XEN) mm.c:2466:d0 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp 1000000000000000) for mfn b1d89 (pfn bacf7)
(XEN) mm.c:3027:d0 Error while pinning mfn b1d89
(XEN) traps.c:481:d0 Unhandled invalid opcode fault/trap [#6] on VCPU 0 [ec=0000]
(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:
...

The reason is that at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach
the pagetable pages area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal
memory that falls in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping
as argument). Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are
in the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be
mapped RO and everything is fine.
Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
are going to be mapped RW.  When these pages become pagetable pages and
are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).

In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
ranges are RO).

For this reason, this function is introduced which is called _after_
the init_memory_mapping has completed (in a perfect world we would
call this function from init_memory_mapping, but lets ignore that).

Because we are called _after_ init_memory_mapping the pgt_buf_[start,
end,top] have all changed to new values (b/c another init_memory_mapping
is called). Hence, the first time we enter this function, we save
away the pgt_buf_start value and update the pgt_buf_[end,top].

When we detect that the "old" pgt_buf_start through pgt_buf_end
PFNs have been reserved (so memblock_x86_reserve_range has been called),
we immediately set out to RW the "old" pgt_buf_end through pgt_buf_top.

And then we update those "old" pgt_buf_[end|top] with the new ones
so that we can redo this on the next pagetable.

<title>x86, NUMA: Fix empty memblk detection in numa_cleanup_meminfo()</title>

<id>2be19102b71c1a45d37fec50303791daa1a06869</id>
<content type='text'>
numa_cleanup_meminfo() trims each memblk between low (0) and
high (max_pfn) limits and discards empty ones.  However, the
emptiness detection incorrectly used equality test.  If the
start of a memblk is higher than max_pfn, it is empty but fails
the equality test and doesn't get discarded.

The condition triggers when max_pfn is lower than start of a
NUMA node and results in memory misconfiguration - leading to
WARN_ON()s and other funnies.  The bug was discovered in devel
branch where 32bit too uses this code path for NUMA init.  If a
node is above the addressing limit, max_pfn ends up lower than
the node triggering this problem.

The failure hasn't been observed on x86-64 but is still possible
with broken hardware e820/NUMA info.  As the fix is very low
risk, it would be better to apply it even for 64bit.

Fix it by using &gt;= instead of ==.

numa_cleanup_meminfo() trims each memblk between low (0) and
high (max_pfn) limits and discards empty ones.  However, the
emptiness detection incorrectly used equality test.  If the
start of a memblk is higher than max_pfn, it is empty but fails
the equality test and doesn't get discarded.

The condition triggers when max_pfn is lower than start of a
NUMA node and results in memory misconfiguration - leading to
WARN_ON()s and other funnies.  The bug was discovered in devel
branch where 32bit too uses this code path for NUMA init.  If a
node is above the addressing limit, max_pfn ends up lower than
the node triggering this problem.

The failure hasn't been observed on x86-64 but is still possible
with broken hardware e820/NUMA info.  As the fix is very low
risk, it would be better to apply it even for 64bit.

<title>x86, AMD: Fix APIC timer erratum 400 affecting K8 Rev.A-E processors</title>

Older AMD K8 processors (Revisions A-E) are affected by erratum
400 (APIC timer interrupts don't occur in C states greater than
C1). This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should
not be set for these parts.

This addresses regression introduced by commit
b87cf80af3ba4b4c008b4face3c68d604e1715c6 ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT
feature on AMD processors") where the system may become
unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input)
occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported
correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups.
