Keir Fraser a92557455d xen: build fix GNU sed vs. BSD sed
Fixes the build error below:

gmake[5]: Entering directory `xen/arch/x86/boot'
gcc  -O1 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -m32
-march=3Di686 -g -fno-strict-aliasing -std=3Dgnu99 -Wall

-Werror -fno-builtin -msoft-float -c reloc.c -o reloc.o
ld -melf_i386 -N -Ttext  -o reloc.lnk reloc.o
ld: invalid hex number `-o'

BSD sed does not support the '+' in the basic re while gnu sed does.
BSD sed supports '+' in the extended re and uses the -E flag while
gnu sed uses -r.

The only difference with the original version is that the '+'
qualifier is replaced with '\{1\,\}' which should work with both BSD
sed and GNU sed.

This is done implicitly when we enter stopmachine_run() context,

This ensures we are properly running on idle-vcpu state, which certain

Keir Fraser b30a2c5426 tmem: (re-)enable by default
Late in the 4.0 release it was discovered that certain order>0
allocations could fail and had no fallback.  This conflicted with
tmem especially when combined with aggressive ballooning.
A hack-y workaround patch was added in time for 4.0 that has
reduced (but not completely eliminated) the problem but
tmem was left disabled-by-default for the 4.0 release.

Re-enable it in xen-unstable by default to help identify cases
where the workaround is insufficient.   Tmem can be
disabled with the no-tmem Xen boot option.  Please report
failures (that are fixed with the no-tmem option) to me.

Keir Fraser f770264fe1 Calling awk and not gawk in the Xen scripts
I noticed that 2 scripts in Xen 4.0.0 are calling "gawk". Normally, in
most distributions, gawk is considered a specific version of awk.
Calling "gawk" and not "awk" generally means that you need
specificities of the "g" version of awk, as opposed to "mawk" which is
another implementation of the same tool.

So, unless I misread the scripts, Xen doesn't need to use gawk but
just any implementation of awk, and the attached patch can safely be
applied.

If I am wrong (which I don't think I am at the first look) and that
there's a reason why gawk is used and not awk, then IMHO, the toplevel
README should mention it in the prerequisites.

Keir Fraser b17520fdb1 mce: Add a x86_mcinfo_reserve() function, to reserve space from mc_info.
With this method, we don't need to collect bank and globalinformation
to a local variable and do x86_mcinfo_add() to copy that information
to mc_info.  This avoid copy and also we can be aware earlier if there
is enough space in the mc_info.

Also extract function that get global/bank information to seperated
function mca_init_bank/mca_init_global.

It's meaningless to get the current information in mce context, keep
it here but should be removed in future.

Also a flag added to mc_info, to indicate some information is lost due
to OOM.

Keir Fraser 91b1583fbc x86_emulate: Emulate CLFLUSH instruction
We recently found that FreeBSD 8.0 guest failed to install and boot on
Xen. The reason was that FreeBSD detected clflush feature and invoked
this instruction to flush MMIO space. This caused a page fault; but
x86_emulate.c failed to emulate this instruction (not supported). As a
result, a page fault was detected inside FreeBSD. A similar issue was
reported earlier.

Keir Fraser b1d62eecbb acpi sleep: Rearrange code for entering system sleep states.
We cannot freeze_domains in hypercall-continuation context any more,

(against the vcpu we interrupted). So rearrange the code to

Keir Fraser 86cd882200 Update comments around spin_trylock() usage for sysctl and xenpf locks.
Since the execution of stop_machine_run() via cpu_down() is now always
deferred to a hypercall continuation context, the above locks are not
held at that time. Hence the trylock is not specifically to avoid
deadlock with stop_machine_run(), but rather a more general paranoia
about deadlocks in general.
