Stefano Stabellini 279b706bf8 x86,xen: introduce x86_init.mapping.pagetable_reserve
Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end
of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones.

On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
other purposes.

A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows.

As a consequence of the commit:

commit 4b239f458c
Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
Date:   Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800

    x86-64, mm: Put early page table high

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 we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we
used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other
purposes.
On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it
also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but
that haven't been used before.

Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if
(xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen
counterpart, but that is just nasty.

Feng Tang c516ac5839 x86: Add i8042 pre-detection hook to x86_platform_ops
Some x86 platforms like Intel MID platforms don't have i8042 controllers,
and i8042 driver's probe to some legacy IO ports may hang the MID
processor. With this hook, i8042 driver can runtime check and skip the
probe when the pretection fail which also saves some probe time

[ hpa note: this is currently a compile-time check, which breaks the
  i386 allyesconfig build.  This patch series thus does fix a regression. ]

Russ Anderson 78c0617646 x86: Enable NMI on all cpus on UV
Enable NMI on all cpus in UV system and add an NMI handler
to dump_stack on each cpu.

By default on x86 all the cpus except the boot cpu have NMI

and adds an NMI handler to dump_stack on each cpu.  This
way if a system hangs we can NMI the machine and get a
backtrace from all the cpus.

           Ingo's suggestion.

Thomas Gleixner ab3b37937e x86: Add pci_init_irq to x86_init
Moorestown wants to reuse pcibios_init_irq but needs to provide its
own implementation of pci_enable_irq. After we distangled the init we
can move the init_irq call to x86_init and remove the pci_enable_irq
!= NULL check in pcibios_init_irq. pci_enable_irq is compile time
initialized to pirq_enable_irq and the special cases which override it
(visws and acpi) set the x86_init function pointer to noop. That
allows MSRT to override pci_enable_irq and otherwise run
pcibios_init_irq unmodified.

Thomas Gleixner b72d0db9dd x86: Move pci init function to x86_init
The PCI initialization in pci_subsys_init() is a mess. pci_numaq_init,
pci_acpi_init, pci_visws_init and pci_legacy_init are called and each
implementation checks and eventually modifies the global variable
pcibios_scanned.

x86_init functions allow us to do this more elegant. The pci.init
function pointer is preset to pci_legacy_init. numaq, acpi and visws
can modify the pointer in their early setup functions. The functions
return 0 when they did the full initialization including bus scan. A
non zero return value indicates that pci_legacy_init needs to be
called either because the selected function failed or wants the
generic bus scan in pci_legacy_init to happen (e.g. visws).

Yinghai Lu b24c2a925a x86: Move find_smp_config() earlier and avoid bootmem usage
Move the find_smp_config() call to before bootmem is initialized.
Use reserve_early() instead of reserve_bootmem() in it.

This simplifies the code, we only need to call find_smp_config()
once and can remove the now unneeded reserve parameter from
x86_init_mpparse::find_smp_config.

We thus also reduce x86's dependency on bootmem allocations.

detection function can set its initialization function to the

This patch cleans up pci_iommu_shutdown() a bit to use
x86_platform (similar to how IA64 initializes an IOMMU driver).

This adds iommu_shutdown() to x86_platform to avoid calling
every IOMMUs' shutdown functions in pci_iommu_shutdown() in
order. The IOMMU shutdown functions are platform specific (we
don't have multiple different IOMMU hardware) so the current way
is pointless.

An IOMMU driver sets x86_platform.iommu_shutdown to the shutdown
function if necessary.

needs to override it. Make it a x86_init_ops function and initialize
it with the default reserve_ebda_region.

Thomas Gleixner 8fee697d99 x86: Add request_standard_resources to x86_init
The 32bit and the 64bit code are slighty different in the reservation
of standard resources. Also the upcoming Moorestown support needs its
own version of that.

Add it to x86_init_ops and initialize it with the 64bit default. 32bit
overrides it in early boot. Now moorestown can add it's own override
w/o sprinkling the code with more #ifdefs

Thomas Gleixner f7cf5a5b8c x86: Add probe_roms to x86_init
probe_roms is only used on 32bit. Add it to the x86_init ops and
remove the #ifdefs.

Default initializer is x86_init_noop() which is overridden in
the 32bit boot code.

Thomas Gleixner 57844a8f8e x86: Add x86_init infrastructure
The upcoming Moorestown support brings the embedded world to x86. The
setup code of x86 has already a couple of hooks which are either
x86_quirks or paravirt ops. Some of those setup hooks are pretty
convoluted like the timer setup and the tsc calibration code. But
there are other places which could do with a cleanup.

Instead of having inline functions/macros which are modified at
compile time I decided to introduce x86_init ops which are
unconditional in the code and make it clear that they can be changed
either during compile time or in the early boot process. The function
pointers are initialized by default functions which can be noops so
that the pointer can be called unconditionally in the most cases. This
also allows us to remove 32bit/64bit, paravirt and other #ifdeffery.

paravirt guests are just a hardware platform in the setup code, so we
should treat them as such and not hide all behind multiple layers of
indirection and compile time dependencies.

It's more obvious that x86_init.timers.timer_init() is a function
pointer than the late_time_init = choose_time_init() obscurity. It's
also way simpler to grep for x86_init.timers.timer_init and find all
the places which modify that function pointer instead of analyzing
weak functions, macros and paravirt indirections.

Note. This is not a general paravirt_ops replacement. It just will
move setup related hooks which are potentially useful for other
platform setup purposes as well out of the paravirt domain.

Add the base infrastructure without any functionality.
