[GIT PULL] (xen) stable/irq stable/p2m.bugfixes stable/e820.bugfixesstable/mmu.bugfixes

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

Hey Linus,

Please pull these four branches:

  git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/irq stable/p2m.bugfixes stable/e820.bugfixes stable/mmu.bugfixes

Which has ..um.. bug-fixes.

#stable/irq is based of v2.6.39-rc7 (693d92a1bbc9e42681c42ed190bd42b636ca876f)
which has one patch that cleans up the way event channels are funneled into the
right IRQ handler in Linux. The way we do the things right is pretty horrid.
In the Xen hypervisor, GSI, vectors, or virtual vectors are all funneled in their
respective event channels. On the Linux side we have to de-multiplex this
and let the right IRQ handler handle it. Except that we were overloading the
chip functions that dealt with GSI and vectors (MSI/MSI-X) causing us to have to
do some extra hack^H^H^H fancy unmasking/masking. All this is now going away.
The IRQ ACKing might be slower now, but it is much easier to understand.

#stable/p2m.bugfixes is based off v2.6.39-rc1 (0ce790e7d736cedc563e1fb4e998babf5a4dbc3d)
During save and restore we did not remember the PFN to MFN entries that were
created for the E820 PCI holes. Hence during restore we would forget them
and crash.

#stable/e820.bugfixes is based off v2.6.39-rc7 (693d92a1bbc9e42681c42ed190bd42b636ca876f)
.. has two fixes for the patches that went in 2.6.39. We were mishandling
the E820 parsing under certain conditions - workaround existed so they weren't
being pushed for 2.6.39.

#stable/mmu.bugfixes is based off v2.6.39-rc7 (693d92a1bbc9e42681c42ed190bd42b636ca876f)
.. fixes a nasty race condition. This particular bug started manifesting
itself when git commit 831d52bc153971b70e64eccfbed2b232394f22f8
("x86, mm: avoid possible bogus tlb entries by clearing prev mm_cpumask after") was
introduced.
