kdump: add is_vmcore_usable() and vmcore_unusable()

The usage of elfcorehdr_addr has changed recently such that being set to
ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX is used by is_kdump_kernel() to indicate if the code is
executing in a kernel executed as a crash kernel.

However, arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:reserve_elfcorehdr will rest
elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX on error, which means any subsequent
calls to is_kdump_kernel() will return 0, even though they should return
1.

Ok, at this point in time there are no subsequent calls, but I think its
fair to say that there is ample scope for error or at the very least
confusion.

This patch add an extra state, ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR, which indicates that
elfcorehdr_addr was passed on the command line, and thus execution is
taking place in a crashdump kernel, but vmcore can't be used for some
reason. This is tested for using is_vmcore_usable() and set using
vmcore_unusable(). A subsequent patch makes use of this new code.

To summarise, the states that elfcorehdr_addr can now be in are as follows:

ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX: not a crashdump kernel
ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR: crashdump kernel but vmcore is unusable
any other value: crash dump kernel and vmcore is usable

kdump: make elfcorehdr_addr independent of CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE

o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For
example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
calgary iommu accordingly.

o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.

o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
(Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
otherwise that would have been the best place).

o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.

o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
broken on sh.

The patch contains Intel IOMMU IA64 specific code. It defines new

function, etc.

For a generic kernel with CONFIG_DMAR=y, if Intel IOMMU is detected,
dig_vtd is used for machinve vector. Otherwise, kernel falls back to
dig machine vector. Kernel parameter "machvec=dig" or "intel_iommu=off"
can be used to force kernel to boot dig machine vector.

[IA64] Ensure cpu0 can access per-cpu variables in early boot code

ia64 handles per-cpu variables a litle differently from other architectures
in that it maps the physical memory allocated for each cpu at a constant
virtual address (0xffffffffffff0000). This mapping is not enabled until
the architecture specific cpu_init() function is run, which causes problems
since some generic code is run before this point. In particular when
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, the boot cpu will trap on the access to
per-cpu memory at the first printk() call so the boot will fail without
the kernel printing anything to the console.

Fix this by allocating percpu memory for cpu0 in the kernel data section
and doing all initialization to enable percpu access in head.S before
calling any generic code.

Other cpus must take care not to access per-cpu variables too early, but
their code path from start_secondary() to cpu_init() is all in arch/ia64

[IA64] Workaround for RSE issue

Problem: An application violating the architectural rules regarding
operation dependencies and having specific Register Stack Engine (RSE)
state at the time of the violation, may result in an illegal operation
fault and invalid RSE state. Such faults may initiate a cascade of
repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers.
The specific behavior is OS dependent.

Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with
specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults
and an eventual OS stack overflow condition.

Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing
store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series
of illegal operation faults.

The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence
inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and
SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros. This sequence includes hard-coded
constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers
being 96. The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this
workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that
if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it
would also remove the need for this patch).

Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some
corner cases.

The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was
squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y
Move it out to the end of the ivt.

[IA64] Don't reserve crashkernel memory > 4 GB

Some IA64 machines map all cell-local memory above 4 GB (32 bit limit).
However, in most cases, the kernel needs some memory below that limit that is
DMA-capable. So in this machine configuration, the crashkernel will be reserved
above 4 GB.

For machines that use SWIOTLB implementation because they lack an I/O MMU
the low memory is required by the SWIOTLB implementation. In that case,
it doesn't make sense to reserve the crashkernel at all because it's unusable
for kdump.

A special case is the "hpzx1" machine vector. In theory, it has a I/O MMU, so
it can be booted above 4 GB. However, in the kdump case that is not possible
because of changeset 51b58e3e26ebfb8cd56825c4b396ed251f51dec9:

On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the kdump
kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu. The problem is that during
the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized, so in-flight DMA
from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB miss which leads to an
MCA. With kdump, the idea is to get into the kdump kernel with as little
code as we can, so shutting down drivers properly is not an option.

The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot parameters.
This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu altogether, leaving
the IOTLB intact. Any ongoing DMA falls harmlessly outside the kdump
kernel. After the kdump kernel reboots, all devices will have been
shutdown properly and DMA stopped.

This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu initialization
code, so that users won't have to find the obscure documentation telling
them about 'machvec=dig'.

This means that also for hpzx1 it's not possible to boot when all
memory is above the 4 GB limit. So the only machine vectors that can handle
this case are "sn2" and "uv".

Node 0: 0 - 2 Gbytes
Node 0: 4 - 8 Gbytes
Node 1: 8 - 16 Gbytes
Node 0: 16 - 18 Gbytes

"efi_memmap_init()" merges the three last ranges into one.

"register_active_ranges()" is called as follows:

efi_memmap_walk(register_active_ranges, NULL);

i.e. once for the 4 - 18 Gbytes range. It picks up the node
number from the start address, and registers all the memory for
the node #0.

"register_active_ranges()" should be called as follows to
make sure there is no merged address range at its entry:

efi_memmap_walk(filter_memory, register_active_ranges);

"filter_memory()" is similar to "filter_rsvd_memory()",
but the reserved memory ranges are not filtered out.

[IA64] Multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction support

According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions.
But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize

scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB
in parallel.

The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in
ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get
a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which
may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY).

- remove useless printk's about multi-core / thread
capability in identify_siblings(), as that information
is readily available in /proc/cpuinfo, and printing for
the BSP only adds little value

- smp_num_siblings is now meaningful if any CPU in the
system supports threads, not just the BSP

kexec: add BSS to resource tree

Add the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel data are in

reservation in that area.

While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree (the
actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function before),
the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user in /proc/iomem
just as Kernel data and Kernel code.

Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
