With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates:
ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ]
Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC.
system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple
per VM: the "master clock".
Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that
guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity.
Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized.

KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest.
One of the reasons for that is that the time between
1. ktime_get_ts(×pec);
2. rdtscll(tsc);
Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that
two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above.
The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances
executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...).
If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when
calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate
the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and
a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all
vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top
of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details.
Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs
and guest TSCs.
Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read
clock from userspace.

Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first.
Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until
all pages get mapped.
alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used
up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage.
Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges,
that will be updated when lower pages get mapped.
Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with
limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have
more mapped pages on hand.
We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done
in alloc_low_page() directly.
At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code.
-v2: update to after fix_xen change,

-v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end.

Currently direct mappings are created for [ 0 to max_low_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT )
and [ 4GB to max_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ), which may include regions that are not
backed by actual DRAM. This is fine for holes under 4GB which are covered
by fixed and variable range MTRRs to be UC. However, we run into trouble
on higher memory addresses which cannot be covered by MTRRs.
Our system with 1TB of RAM has an e820 that looks like this:
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000000983ff] usable
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000098400-0x000000000009ffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000000d0000-0x00000000000fffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000c7ebffff] usable
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ec0000-0x00000000c7ed7fff] ACPI data
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ed8000-0x00000000c7ed9fff] ACPI NVS
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7eda000-0x00000000c7ffffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x00000000fec0ffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fee00000-0x00000000fee00fff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000e037ffffff] usable
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000e038000000-0x000000fcffffffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000010000000000-0x0000011ffeffffff] usable
and so direct mappings are created for huge memory hole between
0x000000e038000000 to 0x0000010000000000. Even though the kernel never
generates memory accesses in that region, since the page tables mark
them incorrectly as being WB, our (AMD) processor ends up causing a MCE
while doing some memory bookkeeping/optimizations around that area.
This patch iterates through e820 and only direct maps ranges that are
marked as E820_RAM, and keeps track of those pfn ranges. Depending on
the alignment of E820 ranges, this may possibly result in using smaller
size (i.e. 4K instead of 2M or 1G) page tables.

I submitted an earlier patch that make __phys_addr an inline. This obviously
results in an increase in the code size. One step I can take to reduce that
is to make it so that the __pa_symbol call does a direct translation for
kernel addresses instead of covering all of virtual memory.
On my system this reduced the size for __pa_symbol from 5 instructions
totalling 30 bytes to 3 instructions totalling 16 bytes.

This patch is meant to improve overall system performance when making use of
the __phys_addr call. To do this I have implemented several changes.
First if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not defined __phys_addr is made an inline,
similar to how this is currently handled in 32 bit. However in order to do
this it is required to export phys_base so that it is available if __phys_addr
is used in kernel modules.
The second change was to streamline the code by making use of the carry flag
on an add operation instead of performing a compare on a 64 bit value. The
advantage to this is that it allows us to significantly reduce the overall
size of the call. On my Xeon E5 system the entire __phys_addr inline call
consumes a little less than 32 bytes and 5 instructions. I also applied
similar logic to the debug version of the function. My testing shows that the
debug version of the function with this patch applied is slightly faster than
the non-debug version without the patch.
Finally I also applied the same logic changes to __virt_addr_valid since it
used the same general code flow as __phys_addr and could achieve similar gains
though these changes.

This patch is meant to clean-up the fact that we have several functions in
page_64_types.h which really don't belong there. I found this issue when I
had tried to replace __phys_addr with an inline function. It resulted in the
realmode bits generating compile warnings about types. In order to resolve
that I am relocating the address translation to page_64.h since this is in
keeping with where these functions are located in 32 bit.
In addtion I have relocated several functions defined in init_64.c to
pgtable_64.h as this seems to be where most of the functions related to
memory initialization were already located.

CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is for debugging the CPU0 hotplug feature. The switch
offlines CPU0 as soon as possible and boots userspace up with CPU0 offlined.
User can online CPU0 back after boot time. The default value of the switch is
off.
To debug CPU0 hotplug, you need to enable CPU0 offline/online feature by either
turning on CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 during compilation or giving
cpu0_hotplug kernel parameter at boot.
It's safe and early place to take down CPU0 after all hotplug notifiers
are installed and SMP is booted.
Please note that some applications or drivers, e.g. some versions of udevd,
during boot time may put CPU0 online again in this CPU0 hotplug debug mode.
In this debug mode, setup_local_APIC() may report a warning on max_loops<=0
when CPU0 is onlined back after boot time. This is because pending interrupt in
IRR can not move to ISR. The warning is not CPU0 specfic and it can happen on
other CPUs as well. It is harmless except the first CPU0 online takes a bit
longer time. And so this debug mode is useful to expose this issue. I'll send
a seperate patch to fix this generic warning issue.

Instead of waiting for STARTUP after INITs, BSP will execute the BIOS boot-strap
code which is not a desired behavior for waking up BSP. To avoid the boot-strap
code, wake up CPU0 by NMI instead.
This works to wake up soft offlined CPU0 only. If CPU0 is hard offlined (i.e.
physically hot removed and then hot added), NMI won't wake it up. We'll change
this code in the future to wake up hard offlined CPU0 if real platform and
request are available.
AP is still waken up as before by INIT, SIPI, SIPI sequence.

With ACPI 5 we are starting to see devices that don't natively support
discovery but can be enumerated with the help of the ACPI namespace.
Typically, these devices can be represented in the Linux device driver
model as platform devices or some serial bus devices, like SPI or I2C
devices.
Since we want to re-use existing drivers for those devices, we need a
way for drivers to specify the ACPI IDs of supported devices, so that
they can be matched against device nodes in the ACPI namespace. To
this end, it is sufficient to add a pointer to an array of supported
ACPI device IDs, that can be provided by the driver, to struct device.
Moreover, things like ACPI power management need to have access to
the ACPI handle of each supported device, because that handle is used
to invoke AML methods associated with the corresponding ACPI device
node. The ACPI handles of devices are now stored in the archdata
member structure of struct device whose definition depends on the
architecture and includes the ACPI handle only on x86 and ia64. Since
the pointer to an array of supported ACPI IDs is added to struct
device_driver in an architecture-independent way, it is logical to
move the ACPI handle from archdata to struct device itself at the same
time. This also makes code more straightforward in some places and
follows the example of Device Trees that have a poiter to struct
device_node in there too.
This changeset is based on Mika Westerberg's work.

While copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op()
and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently
safe even if the actual structure is smaller than the container one,
copying back eventual output values the same way isn't: This may
collide with on-stack variables (particularly "rc") which may change
between the first and second memcpy() (i.e. the second memcpy() could
discard that change).
Move the fallback code into out-of-line functions, and handle all of
the operations known by this old a hypervisor individually: Some don't
require copying back anything at all, and for the rest use the
individual argument structures' sizes rather than the container's.

If the TSC deadline mode is supported, LAPIC timer one-shot mode can be
implemented using IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR. An interrupt will be generated
when the TSC value equals or exceeds the value in the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE
MSR.
This enables us to skip the APIC calibration during boot. Also, in
xapic mode, this enables us to skip the uncached apic access to re-arm
the APIC timer.
As this timer ticks at the high frequency TSC rate, we use the
TSC_DIVISOR (32) to work with the 32-bit restrictions in the
clockevent API's to avoid 64-bit divides etc (frequency is u32 and
"unsigned long" in the set_next_event(), max_delta limits the next

Some firmware still needs a 1:1 (virt->phys) mapping even after we've
called SetVirtualAddressMap(). So install the mapping alongside our
existing kernel mapping whenever we make EFI calls in virtual mode.
This bug was discovered on ASUS machines where the firmware
implementation of GetTime() accesses the RTC device via physical
addresses, even though that's bogus per the UEFI spec since we've
informed the firmware via SetVirtualAddressMap() that the boottime
memory map is no longer valid.
This bug seems to be present in a lot of consumer devices, so there's
not a lot we can do about this spec violation apart from workaround
it.
