6b3d626321 [TCP]: TCP cubic v2.2
We have updated CUBIC to fix some issues with slow increase in large
BDP networks. We also improved its convergence speed. The fix is in
fact very simple -- the window increase limit of smax during the
window probing phase (i.e., convex growth phase) is removed. We found
that this does not affect TCP friendliness, but only improves its
scalability. We have run some tests in our lab and also over the
Internet path from NCSU to Japan. These results can be seen from the
following page:

a6cd6322d5 [IA64] Fix irq migration in multiple vector domain
Fix the problem that the following error message is sometimes displayed
at irq migration when vector domain is enabled.

    "Unexpected interrupt vector %d on CPU %d is not mapped to any IRQ!"

The cause of this problem is an interrupt is sent to the previous
target CPU after cleaning up vector to irq mapping table. To clean up
vector to irq map on the previous target CPU safty, change the irq
migration in multiple vector domain as follows. The original idea is
from x86 interrupt management code.

    - Delay vector to irq table cleanup until the interrupts are sent
      to new target CPUs. By this, it is ensured that target CPU is
      completely changed on the interrupt controller side.

    - Even after the interrupts are sent to new target CPUs, there can
      be pended interrupts remaining on the previous target CPU. So we
      need to delay clearning up vector to irq table until the pended
      interrupt is handled. For this, send IPI to the previous target
      CPU with lower priority vector and clean up vector to irq table
      in its handler.

This patch affects only to irq migration code with multiple vector
domain is enabled.

  sched: group scheduler, fix fairness of cpu bandwidth allocation for task groups

Namely:
 - very frequent wakeups on SMP, reported by PowerTop users.
 - cacheline trashing on (large) SMP
 - some latencies larger than 500ms

While there is a mergeable patch to fix the latter, the former issues
are not fixable in a manner suitable for .25 (we're at -rc3 now).

Hence we revert them and try again in v2.6.26.

resolve boot problem reported by Mel Gorman:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/13/404

init_cpu_to_node will use cpu->apic (from MADT or mptable) and
apic->node(from SRAT or AMD config space with k8_bus_64.c) to have
cpu->node mapping, and later identify_cpu will overwrite them
again...(with nearby_node...)

this patch checks if the node is online, otherwise it will not
update cpu_node map. so keep cpu_node map to online node before
identify_cpu..., to prevent possible error.

  commit 4421011120

  Date:   Wed Jan 30 13:31:50 2008 +0100

      x86: x86 i387 user_regset

Current usage of unlazy_fpu() in ptrace specific routines is wrong.
unlazy_fpu() will not init fpu if the task never used math. So the
ptrace calls can expose the parent tasks FPU data in some cases.

Replace it with the init_fpu() which will init the math state, if the
task never used math before.

13b1c3d4b4 freezer vs stopped or traced
This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment
of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states.

As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks
from doing anything significant.  For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and
TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough".  It's possible the tasks might resume
from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals
(including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc).  But this
doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is
in effect.  Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that
try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of
stop.  This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested.

Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from
suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all
your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them.
It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for
ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

1a4e3f89c6 x86: disable KVM for Voyager and friends
Most classic Pentiums don't have hardware virtualization extension,
and building kvm with Voyager, Visual Workstation, or NUMAQ
generates spurious failures.

33f9c505ed KVM: VMX: Avoid rearranging switched guest msrs while they are loaded
KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of
host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive.  It also tries to minimize
the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example,
MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests.  This optimization is done by
setup_msrs().

However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with
guest msr state:

 - switch to guest msr state
 - call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list
 - switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded

An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest.  Early during
setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE.  KVM will stop saving
MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded.
The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel.

Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list.

f7d9c7b7b9 KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pte
For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other
vcpus.  This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have
write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be
modified.

The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not
new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have
modified the pte without the shadow lock.  However the assumption is incorrect,
as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow
page, before our vcpu regains control:

  vcpu0        vcpu1

  fault
  walk pte

               modify pte
               fault in same pagetable
               instantiate shadow page

  lookup shadow page
  conclude it is old
  instantiate spte based on stale guest pte

We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by
Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation
unconditionally.  The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can
be quite fast.

8c35f237fb KVM: Route irq 0 to vcpu 0 exclusively
Some Linux versions allow the timer interrupt to be processed by more than
one cpu, leading to hangs due to tsc instability.  Work around the issue
by only disaptching the interrupt to vcpu 0.
