Use flex_array for scribble data. Next patch will batch several stripes
together, so scribble data should be able to cover several stripes, so this
patch also allocates scribble data for stripes across a chunk.

it is not set when accessed from dm-raid
The patch makes 3 references to mddev->queue in the raid0 personality
conditional in order to allow for it to be accessed from dm-raid.
Mandatory, because md instances underneath dm-raid don't manage
a request queue of their own which'd lead to oopses without the patch.

When md notices non-sync IO happening while it is trying
to resync (or reshape or recover) it slows down to the
set minimum.
The default minimum might have made sense many years ago
but the drives have become faster. Changing the default
to match the times isn't really a long term solution.
This patch changes the code so that instead of waiting until the speed
has dropped to the target, it just waits until pending requests
have completed.
This means that the delay inserted is a function of the speed
of the devices.
Testing shows that:
- for some loads, the resync speed is unchanged. For those loads
increasing the minimum doesn't change the speed either.
So this is a good result. To increase resync speed under such
loads we would probably need to increase the resync window
size.
- for other loads, resync speed does increase to a reasonable
fraction (e.g. 20%) of maximum possible, and throughput of
the load only drops a little bit (e.g. 10%)
- for other loads, throughput of the non-sync load drops quite a bit
more. These seem to be latency-sensitive loads.
So it isn't a perfect solution, but it is mostly an improvement.

This option is not well justified and testing suggests that
it hardly ever makes any difference.
The comment suggests there might be a need to wait for non-resync
activity indicated by ->nr_waiting, however raise_barrier()
already waits for all of that.
So just remove it to simplify reasoning about speed limiting.
This allows us to remove a 'FIXME' comment from raid5.c as that
never used the flag.

There is really no need for sync_min to be a multiple of
chunk_size, and values read from here often aren't.
That means you cannot read a value and expect to be able
to write it back later.
So remove the chunk_size check, and round down to a multiple
of 4K, to be sure everything works with 4K-sector devices.

When "re-add" is writted to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state,
the clustered md:
1. Sends RE_ADD message with the desc_nr. Nodes receiving the message
clear the Faulty bit in their respective rdev->flags.
2. The node initiating re-add, gathers the bitmaps of all nodes
and copies them into the local bitmap. It does not clear the bitmap
from which it is copying.
3. Initiating node schedules a md recovery to sync the devices.

This adds the capability of re-adding a failed disk by
writing "re-add" to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state.
This facilitates adding disks which have encountered a temporary
error such as a network disconnection/hiccup in an iSCSI device,
or a SAN cable disconnection which has been restored. In such
a situation, you do not need to remove and re-add the device.
Writing re-add to the failed device's state would add it again
to the array and perform the recovery of only the blocks which
were written after the device failed.
This works for generic md, and is not related to clustering. However,
this patch is to ease re-add operations listed above in clustering
environments.

This adds "remove" capabilities for the clustered environment.
When a user initiates removal of a device from the array, a
REMOVE message with disk number in the array is sent to all
the nodes which kick the respective device in their own array.

as windows
Prior to c770cb4cb505 ("PCI: Mark invalid BARs as unassigned"), if we tried
to claim a PCI BAR but could not find an upstream bridge window that
matched it, we complained but still allowed the device to be enabled.
c770cb4cb505 broke devices that previously worked (mptsas and igb in the
case Tony reported, but it could be any devices) because it marks those
BARs as IORESOURCE_UNSET, which makes pci_enable_device() complain and
return failure:
igb 0000:81:00.0: can't enable device: BAR 0 [mem size 0x00020000] not assigned
igb: probe of 0000:81:00.0 failed with error -22
The underlying cause is an ACPI Address Space Descriptor for a PCI host
bridge window that is marked as "consumer". This is a firmware defect:
resources that are produced on the downstream side of a bridge should be
marked "producer". But rejecting these BARs that we previously allowed is
a functionality regression, and firmware has not used the producer/consumer
bit consistently, so we can't rely on it anyway.
Stop checking the producer/consumer bit, and assume all bridge Address
Space Descriptors are for bridge windows.
Note that this change does not affect I/O Port or Fixed Location I/O Port
Descriptors, which are commonly used for the [io 0x0cf8-0x0cff] config
access range. That range is a "consumer" range and should not be treated
as a window.

The host's decision to enable machine check exceptions should remain
in force during non-root mode. KVM was writing 0 to cr4 on VCPU reset
and passed a slightly-modified 0 to the vmcs.guest_cr4 value.
Tested: Built.
On earlier version, tested by injecting machine check
while a guest is spinning.
Before the change, if guest CR4.MCE==0, then the machine check is
escalated to Catastrophic Error (CATERR) and the machine dies.
If guest CR4.MCE==1, then the machine check causes VMEXIT and is
handled normally by host Linux. After the change, injecting a machine
check causes normal Linux machine check handling.

This reverts commit e2ac55b6a8e337fac7cc59c6f452caac92ab5ee6.
Huang Ying reports that this causes a hang at boot with debugfs disabled.
It is true that the debugfs error checks are kind of confusing, and this
code certainly merits more cleanup and thinking about it, but there's
something wrong with the trivial "check not just for NULL, but for error
pointers too" patch.
Yes, with debugfs disabled, we will end up setting the o2hb_debug_dir
pointer variable to an error pointer (-ENODEV), and then continue as if
everything was fine. But since debugfs is disabled, all the _users_ of
that pointer end up being compiled away, so even though the pointer can
not be dereferenced, that's still fine.
So it's confusing and somewhat questionable, but the "more correct"
error checks end up causing more trouble than they fix.

When CONFIG_VDSO=n, the build normally does not enter arch/arm/vdso/
because arch/arm/Makefile does not add it to core-y.
However, if the user runs 'make arch/arm/vdso/' the VDSO targets will
get visited. This is because the VDSO Makefile itself does not
consider the value of CONFIG_VDSO.
It is arguably better and more consistent behavior to generate an
empty built-in.o when CONFIG_VDSO=n and the user attempts to build

that Kconfig dependencies are there to prevent (e.g. the dependency on
AEABI), and it's less confusing than building objects that won't be
used in the final image.

Commit bf35706f3d09 ("ARM: 8314/1: replace PROCINFO embedded branch with
relative offset") broke booting on nommu platforms as it didn't update
the nommu boot code. This patch fixes that oversight.

This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
interrupt controller. This includes waking secondary threads to run
the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.
Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
change:
rm_entry: 3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
rm_exit: 4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
rm_intr: 1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)
and this after the change:
rm_entry: 3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples)
rm_exit: 4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
rm_intr: 1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)
for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.
The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
with this change.
The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
and a little-endian POWER8 host.

This replaces the assembler code for kvmhv_commence_exit() with C code
in book3s_hv_builtin.c. It also moves the IPI sending code that was
in book3s_hv_rm_xics.c into a new kvmhv_rm_send_ipi() function so it
can be used by kvmhv_commence_exit() as well as icp_rm_set_vcpu_irq().

On entry to the guest, secondary threads now wait for the primary to
switch the MMU after loading up most of their state, rather than before.
This means that the secondary threads get into the guest sooner, in the
common case where the secondary threads get to kvmppc_hv_entry before
the primary thread.
On exit, the first thread out increments the exit count and interrupts
the other threads (to get them out of the guest) before saving most
of its state, rather than after. That means that the other threads
exit sooner and means that the first thread doesn't spend so much
time waiting for the other threads at the point where the MMU gets
switched back to the host.
This pulls out the code that increments the exit count and interrupts
other threads into a separate function, kvmhv_commence_exit().
This also makes sure that r12 and vcpu->arch.trap are set correctly
in some corner cases.
Statistics from /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/vm*/vcpu*/timings show the
improvement. Aggregating across vcpus for a guest with 32 vcpus,
8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, gives this before the change:
rm_entry: avg 4537.3ns (222 - 48444, 1068878 samples)
rm_exit: avg 4787.6ns (152 - 165490, 1010717 samples)
rm_intr: avg 1673.6ns (12 - 341304, 3818691 samples)
and this after the change:
rm_entry: avg 3427.7ns (232 - 68150, 1118921 samples)
rm_exit: avg 4716.0ns (12 - 150720, 1119477 samples)
rm_intr: avg 1614.8ns (12 - 522436, 3850432 samples)
showing a substantial reduction in the time spent per guest entry in
the real-mode guest entry code, and smaller reductions in the real
mode guest exit and interrupt handling times. (The test was to start
the guest and boot Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.)

Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
of 8 bits each. The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

This arranges for threads that are napping due to their vcpu having
ceded or due to not having a vcpu to wake up at the end of the guest's
timeslice without having to be poked with an IPI. We do that by
arranging for the decrementer to contain a value no greater than the
number of timebase ticks remaining until the end of the timeslice.
In the case of a thread with no vcpu, this number is in the hypervisor
decrementer already. In the case of a ceded vcpu, we use the smaller
of the HDEC value and the DEC value.
Using the DEC like this when ceded means we need to save and restore
the guest decrementer value around the nap.

When running a multi-threaded guest and vcpu 0 in a virtual core
is not running in the guest (i.e. it is busy elsewhere in the host),
thread 0 of the physical core will switch the MMU to the guest and
then go to nap mode in the code at kvm_do_nap. If the guest sends
an IPI to thread 0 using the msgsndp instruction, that will wake
up thread 0 and cause all the threads in the guest to exit to the
host unnecessarily. To avoid the unnecessary exit, this arranges
for the PECEDP bit to be cleared in this situation. When napping
due to a H_CEDE from the guest, we still set PECEDP so that the
thread will wake up on an IPI sent using msgsndp.

We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by
the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there
is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct.
This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu
pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count.
Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes,
this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got
stuck and thus print a more informative error message.

Rather than calling cond_resched() in kvmppc_run_core() before doing
the post-processing for the vcpus that we have just run (that is,
calling kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), kvmppc_set_timer(), etc.), we now do
that post-processing before calling cond_resched(), and that post-
processing is moved out into its own function, post_guest_process().
The reschedule point is now in kvmppc_run_vcpu() and we define a new
vcore state, VCORE_PREEMPT, to indicate that that the vcore's runner
task is runnable but not running. (Doing the reschedule with the
vcore in VCORE_INACTIVE state would be bad because there are potentially
other vcpus waiting for the runner in kvmppc_wait_for_exec() which
then wouldn't get woken up.)
Also, we make use of the handy cond_resched_lock() function, which
unlocks and relocks vc->lock for us around the reschedule.

* Remove unused kvmppc_vcore::n_busy field.
* Remove setting of RMOR, since it was only used on PPC970 and the
PPC970 KVM support has been removed.
* Don't use r1 or r2 in setting the runlatch since they are
conventionally reserved for other things; use r0 instead.
* Streamline the code a little and remove the ext_interrupt_to_host
label.
* Add some comments about register usage.
* hcall_try_real_mode doesn't need to be global, and can't be
called from C code anyway.
