r8169: fix Rx index race between FIFO overflow recovery and NAPI handler.
Since 92fc43b4159b518f5baae57301f26d770b0834c9, rtl8169_tx_timeout ends up
resetting Rx and Tx indexes and thus racing with the NAPI handler via
-> rtl8169_hw_reset
-> rtl_hw_reset
-> rtl8169_init_ring_indexes
What about returning to the original state ?
rtl_hw_reset is only used by rtl8169_hw_reset and rtl8169_init_one.
The latter does not need rtl8169_init_ring_indexes because the indexes
still contain their original values from the newly allocated network
device private data area (i.e. 0).
rtl8169_hw_reset is used by:
1. rtl8169_down
Helper for rtl8169_close. rtl8169_open explicitely inits the indexes
anyway.
2. rtl8169_pcierr_interrupt
Indexes are set by rtl8169_reinit_task.
3. rtl8169_interrupt
rtl8169_hw_reset is needed when the device goes down. See 1.
4. rtl_shutdown
System shutdown handler. Indexes are irrelevant.
5. rtl8169_reset_task
Indexes must be set before rtl_hw_start is called.
6. rtl8169_tx_timeout
Indexes should not be set. This is the job of rtl8169_reset_task anyway.
The removal of rtl8169_hw_reset in rtl8169_tx_timeout and its move in
rtl8169_reset_task do not change the analysis.

r8169: Rx FIFO overflow fixes.
Realtek has specified that the post 8168c gigabit chips and the post
8105e fast ethernet chips recover automatically from a Rx FIFO overflow.
The driver does not need to clear the RxFIFOOver bit of IntrStatus and
it should rather avoid messing it.
The implementation deserves some explanation:
1. events outside of the intr_event bit mask are now ignored. It enforces
a no-processing policy for the events that either should not be there
or should be ignored.
2. RxFIFOOver was already ignored in rtl_cfg_infos[RTL_CFG_1] for the
whole 8168 line of chips with two exceptions:
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_22 since b5ba6d12bdac21bc0620a5089e0f24e362645efd
("use RxFIFO overflow workaround for 8168c chipset.").
This one should now be correctly handled.
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 (8168b) which requires a different Rx FIFO
overflow processing.
Though it does not conform to Realtek suggestion above, the updated
driver includes no change for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 and RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17.
Both are 8168b. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 is common and a bit old so I'd rather
wait for experimental evidence that the change suggested by Realtek really
helps or does not hurt in unexpected ways.
Removed case statements in rtl8169_interrupt are only 8168 relevant.
3. RxFIFOOver is masked for post 8105e 810x chips, namely the sole 8105e
(RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_30) itself.

x86, AMD: Correct align_va_addr documentation
Commit dfb09f9b7ab0 ("x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties
on AMD family 15h") introduced a kernel command line parameter
called 'align_va_addr' which still refers to arguments used in
an earlier version of the patch and which got changed without
updating the documentation. Correct that omission.
The problem is that in copy_page_range() we turn lazy mode on,
and then in swap_entry_free() we call swap_count_continued()
which ends up in:
map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;
and then later we touch *map.
Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually
set up the PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done
synchronously and ends up trying to dereference a page that has
not been set.
Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses
'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and doing the same in
kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem go
away.
Interestingly, commit b8bcfe997e4615 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy
mode in interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt
issue - but it went to far and did not consider this scenario.

For the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors, after the sequence of
steps given above has been executed, the cache lines containing the
code between the end of the WBINVD instruction and before the
MTRRS have actually been disabled may be retained in the cache
hierarchy. Here, to remove code from the cache completely, a
second WBINVD instruction must be executed after the MTRRs have
been disabled.
This patch provides resolution for that.
Ideally, I will like to make changes only for Pentium 4 and Xeon
processors. But, I am not finding easier way to do it.
And, extra wbinvd() instruction does not hurt much for other

In commit f8924e770e04 ("x86: unify mp_bus_info"), the 32-bit
and 64-bit versions of MP_bus_info were rearranged to match each
other better. Unfortunately it introduced a regression: prior
to that change we used to always set the mp_bus_not_pci bit,
then clear it if we found a PCI bus. After it, we set
mp_bus_not_pci for ISA buses, clear it for PCI buses, and leave
it alone otherwise.
In the cases of ISA and PCI, there's not much difference. But
ISA is not the only non-PCI bus, so it's better to always set
mp_bus_not_pci and clear it only for PCI.
Without this change, Dan's Dell PowerEdge 4200 panics on boot
with a log indicating interrupt routing trouble unless the
"noapic" option is supplied. With this change, the machine
boots reliably without "noapic".

notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file
descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling
on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer,
i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes
notifications for any event will come via that descriptor.
The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the
ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could
perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause
the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be
referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL.
Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup
from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited
upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it
works for now.

perf, x86: Force IBS LVT offset assignment for family 10h
On AMD family 10h we see firmware bug messages like the following:
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 6, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x10400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 6, IBS interrupt offset 0 not available (MSRC001103A=0x0000000000000100)
[Firmware Bug]: using offset 1 for IBS interrupts
[Firmware Bug]: workaround enabled for IBS LVT offset
perf: AMD IBS detected (0x00000007)
We always see this, since the offsets are not assigned by the BIOS for
this family. Force LVT offset assignment in this case. If the OS
assignment fails, fallback to BIOS settings and try to setup this.
The fallback to BIOS settings weakens the family check since
force_ibs_eilvt_setup() may fail e.g. in case of virtual machines.
But setup may still succeed if BIOS offsets are correct.
Other families don't have a workaround implemented that assigns LVT
offsets. It's ok, to drop calling force_ibs_eilvt_setup() for that
families.
With the patch the [Firmware Bug] messages vanish. We see now:

x86: Fix boot failures on older AMD CPU's
People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit bcb80e53877c ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to
/proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into
"early_init_amd()".
At that point we are *so* early in the booth that the exception tables
haven't even been set up yet, so the whole
doesn't actually work: if the rdmsr does a GP fault (due to non-existant
MSR register on older CPU's), we can't fix it up yet, and the boot fails.
Fix it by simply moving the code to a slightly later point in the boot
(init_amd() instead of early_init_amd()), since the kernel itself
doesn't even really care about the microcode patchlevel at this point
(or really ever: it's made available to user space in /proc/cpuinfo, and
updated if you do a microcode load).

xen/pm_idle: Make pm_idle be default_idle under Xen.
The idea behind commit d91ee5863b71 ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86
pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle()
which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows
cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent).
But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still
be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle. This
depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU.
In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor
(Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get:
In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we
do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then
follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up going to
hypervisor twice instead of just once.
The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to
default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup.
We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen. This patch
does that.
