Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao 5d6bd8619d TCP: update ip_local_port_range documentation
The explanation of ip_local_port_range in
Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt contains several factual
errors:

- The default value of ip_local_port_range does not depend on the
  amount of memory available in the system.
- tcp_tw_recycle is not enabled by default.
- 1024-4999 is not the default value.
- Etc.

Clean up the mess.

Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao b49d7d877f x86: Convert per-cpu counter icr_read_retry_count into a member of irq_stat
LAPIC related statistics are grouped inside the per-cpu
structure irq_stat, so there is no need for icr_read_retry_count
to be a standalone per-cpu variable.

This patch moves icr_read_retry_count to where it belongs.

Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao 346b46be5f x86: Add per-cpu stat counter for APIC ICR read tries
In the IPI delivery slow path (NMI delivery) we retry the ICR
read to check for delivery completion a limited number of times.

[ The reason for the limited retries is that some of the places
  where it is used (cpu boot, kdump, etc) IPI delivery might not
  succeed (due to a firmware bug or system crash, for example)
  and in such a case it is better to give up and resume
  execution of other code. ]

This patch adds a new entry to /proc/interrupts, RTR, which
tells user space the number of times we retried the ICR read in
the IPI delivery slow path.

This should give some insight into how well the APIC
message delivery hardware is working - if the counts are way
too large then we are hitting a (very-) slow path way too
often.

Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao fc2af6c73f IGMP snooping: set mrouters_only flag for IPv6 traffic properly
Upon reception of a MGM report packet the kernel sets the mrouters_only flag
in a skb that is a clone of the original skb, which means that the bridge
loses track of MGM packets (cb buffers are tied to a specific skb and not
shared) and it ends up forwading join requests to the bridge interface.

This can cause unexpected membership timeouts and intermitent/permanent loss
of connectivity as described in RFC 4541 [2.1.1. IGMP Forwarding Rules]:

    A snooping switch should forward IGMP Membership Reports only to
    those ports where multicast routers are attached.
    [...]
    Sending membership reports to other hosts can result, for IGMPv1
    and IGMPv2, in unintentionally preventing a host from joining a
    specific multicast group.

Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao 766ca4428d virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO requests
struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.

That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.

This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.

This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.

kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually
referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore.  The reason
being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that
invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU.

Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to
architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each
architecture can provide its own implementation.

Use safe_apic_wait_icr_idle to check ICR idle bit if the vector is
NMI_VECTOR to avoid potential hangups in the event of crash when kdump
tries to stop the other CPUs.

Fernando Luis VazquezCao 8339e9fba3 [PATCH] x86-64: safe_apic_wait_icr_idle - x86_64
apic_wait_icr_idle looks like this:

static __inline__ void apic_wait_icr_idle(void)
{
  while (apic_read(APIC_ICR) & APIC_ICR_BUSY)
    cpu_relax();
}

The busy loop in this function would not be problematic if the
corresponding status bit in the ICR were always updated, but that does
not seem to be the case under certain crash scenarios. Kdump uses an IPI
to stop the other CPUs in the event of a crash, but when any of the
other CPUs are locked-up inside the NMI handler the CPU that sends the
IPI will end up looping forever in the ICR check, effectively
hard-locking the whole system.

Quoting from Intel's "MultiProcessor Specification" (Version 1.4), B-3:

"A local APIC unit indicates successful dispatch of an IPI by
resetting the Delivery Status bit in the Interrupt Command
Register (ICR). The operating system polls the delivery status
bit after sending an INIT or STARTUP IPI until the command has
been dispatched.

A period of 20 microseconds should be sufficient for IPI dispatch
to complete under normal operating conditions. If the IPI is not
successfully dispatched, the operating system can abort the
command. Alternatively, the operating system can retry the IPI by
writing the lower 32-bit double word of the ICR. This “time-out”
mechanism can be implemented through an external interrupt, if
interrupts are enabled on the processor, or through execution of
an instruction or time-stamp counter spin loop."

Intel's documentation suggests the implementation of a time-out
mechanism, which, by the way, is already being open-coded in some parts
of the kernel that tinker with ICR.

Create a apic_wait_icr_idle replacement that implements the time-out
mechanism and that can be used to solve the aforementioned problem.

A kprobe executes IRET early and that could cause NMI recursion and stack
corruption.

Note: This problem was originally spotted and solved by Andi Kleen in the
x86_64 architecture. This patch is an adaption of his patch for i386.

AK: Merged with current code which was a bit different.
