      x86: remove debug code from arch_add_memory() · fe8b868e
      Gary Hade authored 
      Impact: remove incorrect WARN_ON(1)

Gets rid of dmesg spam created during physical memory hot-add which
will very likely confuse users.  The change removes what appears to
be debugging code which I assume was unintentionally included in:

      x86: start annotating early ioremap pointers with __iomem · 1d6cf1fe
      Harvey Harrison authored 
      Impact: some new sparse warnings in e820.c etc, but no functional change.

As with regular ioremap, iounmap etc, annotate with __iomem.

Fixes the following sparse warnings, will produce some new ones
elsewhere in arch/x86 that will get worked out over time.

arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:402:9: warning: cast removes address space of expression
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:406:10: warning: cast adds address space to expression (<asn:2>)

      x86/uv: memory allocation at initialization · ef020ab0
      Cliff Wickman authored 
      Impact: on SGI UV platforms, fix boot crash

UV initialization is currently called too late to call alloc_bootmem_pages().
The current sequence is:

 start_kernel()
   mem_init()
     free_all_bootmem()           <--- discard of bootmem
   rest_init()
     kernel_init()
       smp_prepare_cpus()
       native_smp_prepare_cpus()
         uv_system_init()         <--- uses alloc_bootmem_pages()

It should be calling kmalloc().

      xen: fix Xen domU boot with batched mprotect · 9f32d21c
      Chris Lalancette authored 
      Impact: fix guest kernel boot crash on certain configs

Recent i686 2.6.27 kernels with a certain amount of memory (between
736 and 855MB) have a problem booting under a hypervisor that supports
batched mprotect (this includes the RHEL-5 Xen hypervisor as well as
any 3.3 or later Xen hypervisor).

The problem ends up being that xen_ptep_modify_prot_commit() is using
virt_to_machine to calculate which pfn to update.  However, this only
works for pages that are in the p2m list, and the pages coming from
change_pte_range() in mm/mprotect.c are kmap_atomic pages.  Because of
this, we can run into the situation where the lookup in the p2m table
returns an INVALID_MFN, which we then try to pass to the hypervisor,
which then (correctly) denies the request to a totally bogus pfn.

The right thing to do is to use arbitrary_virt_to_machine, so that we
can be sure we are modifying the right pfn.  This unfortunately
introduces a performance penalty because of a full page-table-walk,
but we can avoid that penalty for pages in the p2m list by checking if
virt_addr_valid is true, and if so, just doing the lookup in the p2m
table.

The attached patch implements this, and allows my 2.6.27 i686 based
guest with 768MB of memory to boot on a RHEL-5 hypervisor again.
Thanks to Jeremy for the suggestions about how to fix this particular
issue.
