With the 3.2-rc kernel, IOMMU 2M pages in KVM works. But when I tried
to use IOMMU 1GB pages in KVM, I encountered an oops and the 1GB page
failed to be used.
The root cause is that 1GB page allocation calls gup_huge_pud() while 2M
page calls gup_huge_pmd. If compound pages are used and the page is a
tail page, gup_huge_pmd() increases _mapcount to record tail page are
mapped while gup_huge_pud does not do that.
So when the mapped page is relesed, it will result in kernel oops
because the page is not marked mapped.
This patch add tail process for compound page in 1GB huge page which
keeps the same process as 2M page.
Reproduce like:
1. Add grub boot option: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=8
2. mount -t hugetlbfs -o pagesize=1G hugetlbfs /dev/hugepages
3. qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda os-kvm.img -cpu kvm64 -smp 4 -mem-path /dev/hugepages

If we encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set
in ->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn
calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address.
On CONFIG_X86_32 this is invalid, resulting in the following
oops on some machines:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f22280

A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region
with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying
it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by
ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache().
Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use
ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on
CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really
don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in
the following bug report,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516
Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA
regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on
CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI
regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to
init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these
regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM
region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows
us to delete efi_ioremap() completely.

When HPET is operating in RTC mode, the TN_ENABLE bit on timer1
controls whether the HPET or the RTC delivers interrupts to irq8. When
the system goes into suspend, the RTC driver sends a signal to the
HPET driver so that the HPET releases control of irq8, allowing the
RTC to wake the system from suspend. The switchover is accomplished by
a write to the HPET configuration registers which currently only
occurs while servicing the HPET interrupt.
On some systems, I have seen the system suspend before an HPET
interrupt occurs, preventing the write to the HPET configuration
register and leaving the HPET in control of the irq8. As the HPET is
not active during suspend, it does not generate a wake signal and RTC
alarms do not work.
This patch forces the HPET driver to immediately transfer control of
the irq8 channel to the RTC instead of waiting until the next
interrupt event.

We currently fail to build on CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MID=y and
CONFIG_X86_MRST unset.
We could build all the bits to make generic MID work if you
picked MID platform alone but that's really silly. Instead use
select and two variables.
This looks a bit daft right now but once we add a Medfield
selection it'll start to look a good deal more sensible.

The problem is that in copy_page_range() we turn lazy mode on,
and then in swap_entry_free() we call swap_count_continued()
which ends up in:
map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;
and then later we touch *map.
Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually
set up the PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done
synchronously and ends up trying to dereference a page that has
not been set.
Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses
'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and doing the same in
kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem go
away.
Interestingly, commit b8bcfe997e ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy
mode in interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt
issue - but it went to far and did not consider this scenario.

Following is from Notes of section 11.5.3 of Intel processor
manual available at:
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/325384.pdf
For the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors, after the sequence of
steps given above has been executed, the cache lines containing the
code between the end of the WBINVD instruction and before the
MTRRS have actually been disabled may be retained in the cache
hierarchy. Here, to remove code from the cache completely, a
second WBINVD instruction must be executed after the MTRRs have
been disabled.
This patch provides resolution for that.
Ideally, I will like to make changes only for Pentium 4 and Xeon
processors. But, I am not finding easier way to do it.
And, extra wbinvd() instruction does not hurt much for other
processors.

In commit f8924e770e ("x86: unify mp_bus_info"), the 32-bit
and 64-bit versions of MP_bus_info were rearranged to match each
other better. Unfortunately it introduced a regression: prior
to that change we used to always set the mp_bus_not_pci bit,
then clear it if we found a PCI bus. After it, we set
mp_bus_not_pci for ISA buses, clear it for PCI buses, and leave
it alone otherwise.
In the cases of ISA and PCI, there's not much difference. But
ISA is not the only non-PCI bus, so it's better to always set
mp_bus_not_pci and clear it only for PCI.
Without this change, Dan's Dell PowerEdge 4200 panics on boot
with a log indicating interrupt routing trouble unless the
"noapic" option is supplied. With this change, the machine
boots reliably without "noapic".

which may wrongly detect the overflow if the stack pointer in
user space points to the kernel stack intentionally or
accidentally. So, the actual overflow is never detected after
this misdetection because WARN_ONCE() is used on the detection
of it.
This patch adds user-mode-vm checking before it to avoid this
problem and bails out early if the user stack is used.

On AMD family 10h we see firmware bug messages like the following:
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 6, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x10400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 6, IBS interrupt offset 0 not available (MSRC001103A=0x0000000000000100)
[Firmware Bug]: using offset 1 for IBS interrupts
[Firmware Bug]: workaround enabled for IBS LVT offset
perf: AMD IBS detected (0x00000007)
We always see this, since the offsets are not assigned by the BIOS for
this family. Force LVT offset assignment in this case. If the OS
assignment fails, fallback to BIOS settings and try to setup this.
The fallback to BIOS settings weakens the family check since
force_ibs_eilvt_setup() may fail e.g. in case of virtual machines.
But setup may still succeed if BIOS offsets are correct.
Other families don't have a workaround implemented that assigns LVT
offsets. It's ok, to drop calling force_ibs_eilvt_setup() for that
families.
With the patch the [Firmware Bug] messages vanish. We see now:
