Just like done in d2bd05d88d ("xen-pciback: return proper values during
BAR sizing") for the ROM BAR, ordinary ones also shouldn't compare the
written value directly against ~0, but consider the r/o bits at the
bottom (if any).

xenbus_client.c contains some functions specific for pv guests.
Enclose them with #ifdef CONFIG_XEN_PV to avoid compiling them when
they are not needed (e.g. on ARM).

<title>mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag</title>

<id>0ee931c4e31a5efb134c76440405e9219f896e33</id>
<content type='text'>
GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation.  As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag.  How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.

The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory.  So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.

I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification.  I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring.  This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.

I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse.  Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL.  Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.

I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.

This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic.  It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users.  The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers.  So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

  It's really not all that big, the largest thing here being some
  firmware tests to help ensure that that crazy api is working properly.

  There's also a new uevent for when a driver is bound or unbound from a
  device, fixing a hole in the driver model that's been there since the
  very beginning. Many thanks to Dmitry for being persistent and
  pointing out how wrong I was about this all along :)

  Patches for the new uevents are already in the systemd tree, if people
  want to play around with them.

  Otherwise just a number of other small api changes and updates here,
  nothing major. All of these patches have been in linux-next for a
  while with no reported issues"

Pull x86 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides:

   - Cleanup of the IDT management including the removal of the extra
     tracing IDT. A first step to cleanup the vector management code.

   - The removal of the paravirt op adjust_exception_frame. This is a
     XEN specific issue, but merged through this branch to avoid nasty
     merge collisions

   - Prevent dmesg spam about the TSC DEADLINE bug, when the CPU has
     disabled the TSC DEADLINE timer in CPUID.

   - Adjust a debug message in the ioapic code to print out the
     information correctly"

Pull x86 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides:

   - Cleanup of the IDT management including the removal of the extra
     tracing IDT. A first step to cleanup the vector management code.

   - The removal of the paravirt op adjust_exception_frame. This is a
     XEN specific issue, but merged through this branch to avoid nasty
     merge collisions

   - Prevent dmesg spam about the TSC DEADLINE bug, when the CPU has
     disabled the TSC DEADLINE timer in CPUID.

   - Adjust a debug message in the ioapic code to print out the
     information correctly"

Calls to mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() were replaced by calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() and are now bracketed by calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/end()

Remove now useless invalidate_page callback.

<title>xen: Don't try to call xen_alloc_p2m_entry() on autotranslating guests</title>

Commit aba831a69632 ("xen: remove tests for pvh mode in pure pv paths")
removed XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap test in xen_alloc_p2m_entry()
since it is assumed that the routine is never called by non-PV guests.

However, alloc_xenballooned_pages() may make this call on a PVH guest.
Prevent this from happening by adding XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap
check there.
