PV on HVM guests map GSIs into event channels. At restore time the
event channels are resumed by restore_pirqs.
Device drivers might try to register the same GSI again through ACPI at
restore time, but the GSI has already been mapped and bound by
restore_pirqs. This patch detects these situations and avoids
mapping the same GSI multiple times.
Without this patch we get:
(XEN) irq.c:2235: dom4: pirq 23 or emuirq 28 already mapped
and waste a pirq.

This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light
functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common
case.
More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef99: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").
* vfs-cleanups:
VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light()
VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end

This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".
Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().
* stat-cleanups:
vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function

The git commit 1ff2b0c303698e486f1e0886b4d9876200ef8ca5
"xen: implement IRQ_WORK_VECTOR handler" added the functionality
to have a per-cpu "irqworkX" for the IPI APIC functionality.
However it missed the unbind when a vCPU is unplugged resulting
in an orphaned per-cpu interrupt line for unplugged vCPU:

The end signature was defined in wakeup_asm.S as it originally came
from the ACPI wakeup code. However, we rely on the existence of the
.signature section to expand .bss, otherwise we would have to include
code to explicitly zero the .bss depending on the configuration.
Since the expanded .bss is just in .init.data anyway, it's easier to
always have it expanded.
This fixes failures when compiled without CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP.

Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin.
GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly
turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols
that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to
absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative,
and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this
purpose.
See for example
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052
We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got
shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly
not some rare unusual case.
This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as
Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested
code base."

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.
In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.
16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.
The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
produces bad kernels. ]

When finding a present and acceptable 2M/1G mapping, the number
of pages mapped this way shouldn't be incremented (as it was
already incremented when the earlier part of the mapping was
established). Instead, last_map_addr needs to be updated in this
case.
Further, address increments were wrong in one place each in both
phys_pmd_init() and phys_pud_init() (lacking the aligning down
to the respective page boundary).
As we're now doing the same calculation several times, fold it
into a single instance using a local variable (matching how
kernel_physical_mapping_init() itself does it at the PGD level).
Observed during code inspection, not because of an actual
problem.

Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.
This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.
One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power
aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending
patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ...
so remove it to make space free for something better.
There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first
and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology
levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a
state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to
master and almost nobody does.
Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it
means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either
under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if
there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of
it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads.
So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea
even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs
on every node of the topology.
There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single
3 state knob:
sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto }
where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things
like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw
exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no
progress on it in the past many months.
Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs
is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at
fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable
state.
Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring
people who care to come forward once again and work on a
coherent replacement.

Code paths like fork(), exit() and signal handling flush the fpu
state explicitly to the structures in memory.
BUG_ON() in __sanitize_i387_state() is checking that the fpu state
is not live any more. But for preempt kernels, task can be scheduled
out and in at any place and the preload_fpu logic during context switch
can make the fpu registers live again.
For example, consider a 64-bit Task which uses fpu frequently and as such
you will find its fpu_counter mostly non-zero. During its time slice, kernel
used fpu by doing kernel_fpu_begin/kernel_fpu_end(). After this, in the same
scheduling slice, task-A got a signal to handle. Then during the signal
setup path we got preempted when we are just before the sanitize_i387_state()
in arch/x86/kernel/xsave.c:save_i387_xstate(). And when we come back we
will have the fpu registers live that can hit the bug_on.
Similarly during core dump, other threads can context-switch in and out
(because of spurious wakeups while waiting for the coredump to finish in
kernel/exit.c:exit_mm()) and the main thread dumping core can run into this
bug when it finds some other thread with its fpu registers live on some other cpu.
So remove the paranoid check for now, even though it caught a bug in the
multi-threaded core dump case (fixed in the previous patch).

Currently the inject_pending_event() call during guest entry happens after
kvm_mmu_reload(). This is for historical reasons - we used to
inject_pending_event() in atomic context, while kvm_mmu_reload() needs task
context.
A problem is that nested vmx can cause the mmu context to be reset, if event
injection is intercepted and causes a #VMEXIT instead (the #VMEXIT resets
CR0/CR3/CR4). If this happens, we end up with invalid root_hpa, and since
kvm_mmu_reload() has already run, no one will fix it and we end up entering
the guest this way.
Fix by reordering event injection to be before kvm_mmu_reload(). Use
->cancel_injection() to undo if kvm_mmu_reload() fails.

Change EFER to be a single u64 field instead of two u32 fields; change
the order to maintain alignment. Note that on x86-64 cr4 is really
also a 64-bit quantity, although we can only set the low 32 bits from
the trampoline code since it is still executing in 32-bit mode at that
point.

If we've determined we can't do what the user asked, trying to do
something else isn't going to make the user's life better.
Without this the screen scrolls a bit and then you get a panic
anyway, and it's nice not to have so much scroll after the real
problem in bug reports.

Move the bits that aren't actually common out of trampoline_common.S
and into the arch-specific files. Furthermore, make sure the page
directory is first in the .bss section for trampoline_64.S in order to
not waste an entire page of memory.

Some AMD processors apparently #GP(0) if EFER.LMA is set in WRMSR,
rather than ignoring it. Thus, we need to mask it out.

Using RCU for lockless shadow walking can increase the amount of memory
in use by the system, since RCU grace periods are unpredictable. We also
have an unconditional write to a shared variable (reader_counter), which
isn't good for scaling.
Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable
interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer
(kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the
processor with interrupts enabled.
We also add a new vcpu->mode, READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, to prevent
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() from avoiding the IPI.

On x86_64, we can defer %ds and %es reload to the heavyweight context switch,
since nothing in the lightweight paths uses the host %ds or %es (they are
ignored by the processor). Furthermore we can avoid the load if the segments
are null, by letting the hardware load the null segments for us. This is the
expected case.
On i386, we could avoid the reload entirely, since the entry.S paths take care
of reload, except for the SYSEXIT path which leaves %ds and %es set to __USER_DS.
So we set them to the same values as well.
Saves about 70 cycles out of 1600 (around 4%; noisy measurements).

The vmx exit code unconditionally restores %ds and %es to __USER_DS. This
can override the user's values, since %ds and %es are not saved and restored
in x86_64 syscalls. In practice, this isn't dangerous since nobody uses
segment registers in long mode, least of all programs that use KVM.

Since Matthew's efi/vga changes on non-EFI machines we were failing
to tell the vgaarb/switcheroo what the default device was, this
sets the default device in the quirk if none has been set before.
This fixes the switcheroo on my T410s.

spin_is_locked() is always false on UP kernels: spin_lock_irqsave() does no
locking, so we can't tell whether the lock is held or not. Therefore,
this warning is only valid for SMP kernels.
