commit 9bab0b7fbaceec47d32db51cd9e59c82fb071f5a upstream.

This adds a mechanism to resume selected IRQs during syscore_resume
instead of dpm_resume_noirq.

Under Xen we need to resume IRQs associated with IPIs early enough
that the resched IPI is unmasked and we can therefore schedule
ourselves out of the stop_machine where the suspend/resume takes
place.

This issue was introduced by 676dc3cf5bc3 "xen: Use IRQF_FORCE_RESUME".

<title>xen-swiotlb: Fix wrong panic.</title>

commit ab2a47bd242d6cdcf6b2b64797f271c6f0a6d338 upstream.

Propagate the baremetal git commit "swiotlb: fix wrong panic"
(fba99fa38b023224680308a482e12a0eca87e4e1) in the Xen-SWIOTLB version.
wherein swiotlb's map_page wrongly calls panic() when it can't find
a buffer fit for device's dma mask.  It should return an error instead.

Devices with an odd dma mask (i.e.  under 4G) like b44 network card hit
this bug (the system crashes):

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=129648943830106&amp;w=2

If xen-swiotlb returns an error, b44 driver can use the own bouncing
mechanism.

By default the io_tlb_nslabs is set to zero, and gets set to
whatever value is passed in via swiotlb_init_with_tbl function.
The default value passed in is 64MB. However, if the user provides
the 'swiotlb=&lt;nslabs&gt;' the default value is ignored and
the value provided by the user is used... Except when the SWIOTLB
is used under Xen - there the default value of 64MB is used and
the Xen-SWIOTLB has no mechanism to get the 'io_tlb_nslabs' filled
out by setup_io_tlb_npages functions. This patch provides a function
for the Xen-SWIOTLB to call to see if the io_tlb_nslabs is set
and if so use that value.

Do not use pirq_needs_eoi to decide which irq handler to use because Xen
always returns true if the guest does not support pirq_eoi_map.
Use the trigger information we already have from MP-tables and ACPI.

This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).

Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
and frontswap pages.  Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.

A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be
found at:
