Currently, we don't handle this special case and set irq field in

The tracing code used sched_clock() to get tracing timestamps, which
ends up calling xen_clocksource_read(). xen_clocksource_read() must
disable preemption, but if preemption tracing is enabled, this results
in infinite recursion.
I've only noticed this when boot-time tracing tests are enabled, but it
seems like a generic bug. It looks like it would also affect
kvm_clocksource_read().

x86-32, vdso: On system call restart after SYSENTER, use int $0x80
x86, UV: Remove UV delay in starting slave cpus
x86, olpc: Wait for last byte of EC command to be accepted
When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle
the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was
probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes
errors if the system call as to be restarted.
For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the
return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the
jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower
entry point for a post-restart.

address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).
Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should

This is an assembler implementation of the SHA1 algorithm using the
Supplemental SSE3 (SSSE3) instructions or, when available, the
Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX).
Testing with the tcrypt module shows the raw hash performance is up to
2.3 times faster than the C implementation, using 8k data blocks on a
Core 2 Duo T5500. For the smalest data set (16 byte) it is still 25%
faster.
Since this implementation uses SSE/YMM registers it cannot safely be
used in every situation, e.g. while an IRQ interrupts a kernel thread.
The implementation falls back to the generic SHA1 variant, if using
the SSE/YMM registers is not possible.
With this algorithm I was able to increase the throughput of a single
IPsec link from 344 Mbit/s to 464 Mbit/s on a Core 2 Quad CPU using
the SSSE3 variant -- a speedup of +34.8%.
Saving and restoring SSE/YMM state might make the actual throughput
fluctuate when there are FPU intensive userland applications running.
For example, meassuring the performance using iperf2 directly on the
machine under test gives wobbling numbers because iperf2 uses the FPU
for each packet to check if the reporting interval has expired (in the
above test I got min/max/avg: 402/484/464 MBit/s).
Using this algorithm on a IPsec gateway gives much more reasonable and
stable numbers, albeit not as high as in the directly connected case.
Here is the result from an RFC 2544 test run with a EXFO Packet Blazer
FTB-8510:
frame size sha1-generic sha1-ssse3 delta
64 byte 37.5 MBit/s 37.5 MBit/s 0.0%
128 byte 56.3 MBit/s 62.5 MBit/s +11.0%
256 byte 87.5 MBit/s 100.0 MBit/s +14.3%
512 byte 131.3 MBit/s 150.0 MBit/s +14.2%
1024 byte 162.5 MBit/s 193.8 MBit/s +19.3%
1280 byte 175.0 MBit/s 212.5 MBit/s +21.4%
1420 byte 175.0 MBit/s 218.7 MBit/s +25.0%
1518 byte 150.0 MBit/s 181.2 MBit/s +20.8%
The throughput for the largest frame size is lower than for the
previous size because the IP packets need to be fragmented in this
case to make there way through the IPsec tunnel.

When executing EC commands, only waiting when there are still
more bytes to write is usually fine. However, if the system
suspends very quickly after a call to olpc_ec_cmd(), the last
data byte may not yet be transferred to the EC, and the command
will not complete.
This solves a bug where the SCI wakeup mask was not correctly
written when going into suspend.
It means that sometimes, on XO-1.5 (but not XO-1), the
devices that were marked as wakeup sources can't wake up
the system. e.g. you ask for wifi wakeups, suspend, but then
incoming wifi frames don't wake up the system as they should.

This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.
This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.
This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.
It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.
This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
and/or vendors unaffected.

with CONFIG_XEN and CONFIG_FTRACE set we get this:
arch/x86/xen/trace.c:22: error: ‘__HYPERVISOR_console_io’ undeclared here (not in a function)
arch/x86/xen/trace.c:22: error: array index in initializer not of integer type
arch/x86/xen/trace.c:22: error: (near initialization for ‘xen_hypercall_names’)
arch/x86/xen/trace.c:23: error: ‘__HYPERVISOR_physdev_op_compat’ undeclared here (not in a function)
Issue was that the definitions of __HYPERVISOR were not pulled
if CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST was not set.

Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3
selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq
changes cs to the magic value 0xe033.
Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve
vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling"
(c9712944b2), vsyscalls will segfault
if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when
older init builds die.
It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without
taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the
tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because
ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.
