5958ab88f7 gru: improve GRU TLB dropin statistics
Update the TLB dropin statistics kept for each GRU context.  Count TLB
dropins separate from the misses - some misses do not result in a TLB
dropin.  Some of the diagnostics need both counts.

b61fc69bb6 gru: fix istatus race in GRU tlb dropin
TLB dropins require updates to the CBR instruction istatus field.  This is
needed to resolve race conditions in the chip.

The code currently uses the user address of the CBR.  This works but opens
up additional endcases related to stealing of contexts and accessing the
CBR from tasks that do not have access to the user address space.  (Some
of this non-user task access is debug code that is not currently being
pushed to the community).

User CBRs are also directly accessible using the kernel mapping of the
CBR.  Change the TLB dropin code to use the the kernel mapping of the CBR.

046d6c563b x86: uv: XPC receive message reuse triggers invalid BUG_ON()
This was a difficult bug to trip.  XPC was in the middle of sending an
acknowledgement for a received message.

In xpc_received_payload_uv():
.
        ret = xpc_send_gru_msg(ch->sn.uv.cached_notify_gru_mq_desc, msg,
                               sizeof(struct xpc_notify_mq_msghdr_uv));
        if (ret != xpSuccess)
                XPC_DEACTIVATE_PARTITION(&xpc_partitions[ch->partid], ret);

        msg->hdr.msg_slot_number += ch->remote_nentries;

at the point in xpc_send_gru_msg() where the hardware has dispatched the
acknowledgement, the remote side is able to reuse the message structure
and send a message with a different slot number.  This problem is made
worse by interrupts.

The adjustment of msg_slot_number and the BUG_ON in
xpc_handle_notify_mq_msg_uv() which verifies the msg_slot_number is
consistent are only used for debug purposes.  Since a fix for this that
preserves the debug functionality would either have to infringe upon the
payload or allocate another structure just for debug, I decided to remove
it entirely.

partition will send back both the ACTIVATING and the ACTIVE
remote_act_state changes in very close succescion.  The 1/4 second delay
in the make first contact loop is large enough to nearly always miss the
ACTIVATING state change.

Since either state indicates the remote partition has acknowledged our
state change, accept either.

c2c9f11574 x86: uv: update XPC to handle updated BIOS interface
The UV BIOS has moved the location of some of their pointers to the
"partition reserved page" from memory into a uv hub MMR.  The GRU does not
support bcopy operations from MMR space so we need to special case the MMR
addresses using VLOAD operations.

Additionally, the BIOS call for registering a message queue watchlist has
removed the 'blade' value and eliminated the structure that was being
passed in.  This is also reflected in this patch.

The UV BIOS has been updated to implement some of our interface
functionality differently than originally expected.  These patches update
the kernel to the bios implementation and include a few minor bug fixes
which prevent us from doing significant testing on real hardware.

This patch:

For SGI UV systems, translate from a global physical address back to a
socket physical address.  This does nothing to ensure the socket physical
address is actually addressable by the kernel.  That is the responsibility
of the user of the function.

5fe878ae7f direct-io: cleanup blockdev_direct_IO locking
Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three
different locking types and very confusing checks for some of them.  The
most complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not
actually be used.

This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read
case is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to
DIO_NO_LOCKING.  The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the
create argument for the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily
move that to the actual get_blocks callbacks.  There are four users of the
DIO_NO_LOCKING mode: gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is
fine with the new version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set,
and we can remove this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses
create for an error message if we are fully beyond the device which can
never happen, and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for
writes.

Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag.  Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a
separate flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same
time.

Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make
sense.

23aee091d8 dio: don't zero out the pages array inside struct dio
Intel reported a performance regression caused by the following commit:

commit 848c4dd515
Author: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>
Date:   Mon Aug 20 17:12:01 2007 -0700

    dio: zero struct dio with kzalloc instead of manually

    This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than
    manually trying to track which fields we rely on being zero.  It
    passed aio+dio stress testing and some bug regression testing on
    ext3.

    This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up
    to Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit:

      6a648fa721

    It makes the code a bit smaller.  Maybe a couple fewer cachelines to
    load, if we're lucky:

       text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    3285925  568506 1304616 5159047  4eb887 vmlinux
    3285797  568506 1304616 5158919  4eb807 vmlinux.patched

    I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu
    cycles spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads
    at ~340MB/s.

    So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to
    avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like
    .map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the
    code.

Zach surmised that zeroing out the page array was what caused most of
the problem, and suggested the approach taken in the attached patch for
resolving the issue.  Intel re-tested with this patch and saw a 0.6%
performance gain (the original regression was 0.5%).

Andrew Morton's compiler sees the following warning in FS-Cache:

fs/fscache/object-list.c: In function 'fscache_objlist_lookup':
fs/fscache/object-list.c:94: warning: 'obj' may be used uninitialized in this function

which my compiler doesn't.  This is a false positive as obj can only be
used in the comparison against minobj if minobj has been set to something
other than NULL, but for that to happen, obj has to be first set to
something.

Deal with this by preclearing obj too.

06a7f71124 kexec: premit reduction of the reserved memory size
Implement shrinking the reserved memory for crash kernel, if it is more
than enough.

For example, if you have already reserved 128M, now you just want 100M,
you can do:

# echo $((100*1024*1024)) > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size

Note, you can only do this before loading the crash kernel.

ac2b3e67dd dma-mapping: fix off-by-one error in dma_capable()
dma_mask is, when interpreted as address, the last valid byte, and hence
comparison msut also be done using the last valid of the buffer in
question.

Also fix the open-coded instances in lib/swiotlb.c.

bbead2104e edac: i5100 add 6 ranks per channel
Add support for 6 ranks per channel to the i5100 chipset.  I have tested
the patch as far as possible with correctible errors and things appear
good.  The DIMM mapping is correct for our board, but boards may differ.

295439f2a3 edac: i5100 add scrubbing
Addscrubbing to the i5100 chipset.  The i5100 chipset only supports one
scrubbing rate, which is not constant but dependent on memory load.  The
rate returned by this driver is an estimate based on some experimentation,
but is substantially closer to the truth than the speed supplied in the
documentation.

Also, scrubbing is done once, and then a done-bit is set.  This means that
to accomplish continuous scrubbing a re-enabling mechanism must be used.
I have created the simplest possible such mechanism in the form of a
work-queue which will check every five minutes.  This interval is quite
arbitrary but should be sufficient for all sizes of system memory.

Avoid calling kfree() under pidmap spinlock, calling it afterwards.

Normally kfree() is fast, but sometimes it can be slow, so avoid
calling it under the spinlock if we can do it.
