By semi-popular demand, this adds the Core Performance Boost feature
flag to /proc/cpuinfo. Possible use case for this is userspace tools
like cpufreq-aperf, for example, so that they don't have to jump through
hoops of accessing "/dev/cpu/%d/cpuid" in order to check for CPB hw
support, or call cpuid from userspace.

The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource
controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory. That
turns a system with more than ~100 GB memory unbootable with the default
vmalloc size. It costs us nothing to increase the default size to some
more adequate value, e.g. 128 GB.

commit 6a985c6194
([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping)
deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to
improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there
are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg)
where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the
user mapping.
Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit
override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might
use the kernel mapping for user memory.

If a machine check interrupts the io interrupt handler on one of the
instructions between io_return and io_leave the critical section
cleanup code will move the return psw to io_work_loop. By doing that
the switch from the asynchronous interrupt stack to the process stack
is skipped. If e.g. TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set things break because
the scheduler is called with the asynchronous interrupts stack.
Moving the psw back to io_return instead fixes the problem.

at91 slow-clock resume: Don't wait for a disabled PLL to lock.
We run into this problem with the PLLB on the at91: ohci-at91 disables
the PLLB when going to suspend. The slowclock code however tries to do
the same: It saves the PLLB register value and when restoring the value
during resume, it waits for the PLLB to lock again. However the PLL will
never lock and the loop would run into its timeout because the slowclock
code just stored and restored an empty register.
This fixes the problem by only restoring PLLA/PLLB when they were enabled
at suspend time.

When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it
might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the
kernel stack boundaries, like in this example:
perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
schedule+0x6b5/0x860
retint_careful+0xd/0x21
Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while
rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash.
Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the
frame pointer.
This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the
first caller.

ACPI Address Space Descriptors (used in _CRS) have a Consumer/Producer
bit that is supposed to distinguish regions that are consumed directly
by a device from those that are forwarded ("produced") by a bridge.
But BIOSes have apparently not used this consistently, and Windows
seems to ignore it, so I think Linux should ignore it as well.
I can't point to any of these supposed broken BIOSes, but since we
now rely on _CRS by default, I think it's safer to ignore this bit
from the start.
Here are details of my experiments with how Windows handles it:

To fix this, make USER_DS the top of RAM instead of the top of the non-IO

Hit another kdump problem as reported by Neil Horman. When initializaing
the IOMMU, we attach devices to their domains before the IOMMU is
fully (re)initialized. Attaching a device will issue some important
invalidations. In the context of the newly kexec'd kdump kernel, the
IOMMU may have stale cached data from the original kernel. Because we
do the attach too early, the invalidation commands are placed in the new
command buffer before the IOMMU is updated w/ that buffer. This leaves
the stale entries in the kdump context and can renders device unusable.
Simply enable the IOMMU before we do the attach.

The current setting for SECTION_SIZE_BITS is quite small compared to
everyone else:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 24
arch/sparc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30
arch/ia64/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS (30)
arch/s390/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 28
arch/x86/include/asm/sparsemem.h:# define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 27
And it has proven to be an issue during boot on very large machines.
If hotplug memory is enabled, drivers/base/memory.c does this:
for (i = 0; i < NR_MEM_SECTIONS; i++) {
if (!present_section_nr(i))
continue;
err = add_memory_block(0, __nr_to_section(i), MEM_ONLINE,
0, BOOT);
if (!ret)
ret = err;
}
Which creates a sysfs directory for every 16MB of memory. As a result
I'm seeing up to 30 minutes spent here during boot:
c000000000248ee0 .__sysfs_add_one+0x28/0x128
c0000000002492a8 .sysfs_add_one+0x38/0x188

I assume there are some O(n^2) issues in sysfs as we add all the memory

We have had issues in the past with ibm,os-term initiating shutdown of a
partition. This is confusing to the user, especially if panic_timeout is
non zero.
The temporary fix was to avoid calling ibm,os-term if a panic_timeout was set
and since we set it on every boot we basically never call ibm,os-term.
An extended version of ibm,os-term has since been implemented which gives us
the behaviour we want:
"When the platform supports extended ibm,os-term behavior, the return to the
RTAS will always occur unless there is a kernel assisted dump active as
initiated by an ibm,configure-kernel-dump call."
This patch checks for the ibm,extended-os-term property and calls ibm,os-term
if it exists.

I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets
enabled via this:
/*
* If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better
* to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node.
*/
if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE)
zone_reclaim_mode = 1;
Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for
RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in.
The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p
machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before
going off node.
The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables
zone reclaim.

Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to
powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from
boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't
always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but
the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will
happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first
string as the return value.
This patch lifts the len <= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that
case.
