During review of git commit cb9c6f15f3
("xen/spinlock: Check against default value of -1 for IRQ line.")
Stefano pointed out a bug in the patch. Unfortunatly due to vacation
timing the fix was not applied and this patch fixes it up.

See git commit f10cd522c5
(xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM) for details.
But we did not disable it everywhere - which means that when
we boot as PVHVM we end up allocating per-CPU irq line for
spinlock. This fixes that.

The default (uninitialized) value of the IRQ line is -1.
Check if we already have allocated an spinlock interrupt line
and if somebody is trying to do it again. Also set it to -1
when we offline the CPU.

There is a loophole between Xen's current implementation of
pv-spinlocks and the scheduler. This was triggerable through
a testcase until v3.6 changed the TLB flushing code. The
problem potentially is still there just not observable in the
same way.
What could happen was (is):
1. CPU n tries to schedule task x away and goes into a slow
wait for the runq lock of CPU n-# (must be one with a lower
number).
2. CPU n-#, while processing softirqs, tries to balance domains
and goes into a slow wait for its own runq lock (for updating
some records). Since this is a spin_lock_irqsave in softirq
context, interrupts will be re-enabled for the duration of
the poll_irq hypercall used by Xen.
3. Before the runq lock of CPU n-# is unlocked, CPU n-1 receives
an interrupt (e.g. endio) and when processing the interrupt,
tries to wake up task x. But that is in schedule and still
on_cpu, so try_to_wake_up goes into a tight loop.
4. The runq lock of CPU n-# gets unlocked, but the message only
gets sent to the first waiter, which is CPU n-# and that is
busily stuck.
5. CPU n-# never returns from the nested interruption to take and
release the lock because the scheduler uses a busy wait.
And CPU n never finishes the task migration because the unlock
notification only went to CPU n-#.
To avoid this and since the unlocking code has no real sense of
which waiter is best suited to grab the lock, just send the IPI
to all of them. This causes the waiters to return from the hyper-
call (those not interrupted at least) and do active spinlocking.

If NR_CPUS < 256 then arch_spinlock_t is only 16 bits wide but struct
xen_spinlock is 32 bits. When a spin lock is contended and
xl->spinners is modified the two bytes immediately after the spin lock
would be corrupted.
This is a regression caused by 84eb950db1
(x86, ticketlock: Clean up types and accessors) which reduced the size
of arch_spinlock_t.
Fix this by making xl->spinners a u8 if NR_CPUS < 256. A
BUILD_BUG_ON() is also added to check the sizes of the two structures
are compatible.
In many cases this was not noticable as there would often be padding
bytes after the lock (e.g., if any of CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, or CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC were enabled).
The bnx2 driver is affected. In struct bnx2, phy_lock and
indirect_lock may have no padding after them. Contention on phy_lock
would corrupt indirect_lock making it appear locked and the driver
would deadlock.

Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:
local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
...
and under the other configuration, it maps:
raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
...
This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.
Change this to have the arch provide:
flags = arch_local_save_flags()
flags = arch_local_irq_save()
arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
arch_local_irq_disable()
arch_local_irq_enable()
arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
arch_irqs_disabled()
arch_safe_halt()
Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
raw_local_save_flags(flags)
raw_local_irq_save(flags)
raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
raw_local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_enable()
raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
raw_irqs_disabled()
raw_safe_halt()
with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
local_save_flags(flags)
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
irqs_disabled()
safe_halt()
with tracing included if enabled.
The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
having to be macros.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.
Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever
No functional change.

We need to have a stronger barrier between releasing the lock and
checking for any waiting spinners. A compiler barrier is not sufficient
because the CPU's ordering rules do not prevent the read xl->spinners
from happening before the unlock assignment, as they are different
memory locations.
We need to have an explicit barrier to enforce the write-read ordering
to different memory locations.
Because of it, I can't bring up > 4 HVM guests on one SMP machine.

Where possible we enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock to
become free, in order to reduce big latency spikes in interrupt handling.
However, at present if we manage to pick up the spinlock just before
blocking, we'll end up holding the lock with interrupts enabled for a
while. This will cause a deadlock if we recieve an interrupt in that
window, and the interrupt handler tries to take the lock too.
Solve this by shrinking the interrupt-enabled region to just around the
blocking call.

Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging:
A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the
CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing
its entry in /sys.
A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does
not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be
caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available,
or implement a more complex policy.

A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve
the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an
interrupt handler.
We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets
interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually
blocking. If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where
the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block
indefinitely in the hypervisor. This fix is to make sure that any
nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any
chance the outer lock became free.
