Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0d2), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo,
Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7b4), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has
been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS.
However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably
because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems...
Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8).
As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its
default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users
care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency.
While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default
operating point is "normal" mode...
Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot.
x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot,
should the user have a different preference.

Other than sanity check and debug message, the x86 specific version of
memblock reserve/free functions are simple wrappers around the generic
versions - memblock_reserve/free().
This patch adds debug messages with caller identification to the
generic versions and replaces x86 specific ones and kills them.
arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and arch/x86/mm/memblock.c are empty
after this change and removed.

memblock_find_dma_reserve() wants to find out how much memory is
reserved under MAX_DMA_PFN. memblock_x86_memory_[free_]in_range() are
used to find out the amounts of all available and free memory in the
area, which are then subtracted to find out the amount of reservation.
memblock_x86_memblock_[free_]in_range() are implemented using
__memblock_x86_memory_in_range() which builds ranges from memblock and
then count them, which is rather unnecessarily complex.
This patch open codes the counting logic directly in
memblock_find_dma_reserve() using memblock iterators and removes now
unused __memblock_x86_memory_in_range() and find_range_array().

free_all_memory_core_early() silently freed only the low mem because

limited range to max_low_pfn.
Rename free_all_memory_core_early() to free_low_memory_core_early()

Callback based iteration is cumbersome and much less useful than
for_each_*() iterator. This patch implements for_each_mem_pfn_range()
which replaces work_with_active_regions(). All the current users of
work_with_active_regions() are converted.
This simplifies walking over early_node_map and will allow converting
internal logics in page_alloc to use iterator instead of walking
early_node_map directly, which in turn will enable moving node
information to memblock.

This patch makes update_rq_clock() aware of steal time.
The mechanism of operation is not different from irq_time,
and follows the same principles. This lives in a CONFIG
option itself, and can be compiled out independently of
the rest of steal time reporting. The effect of disabling it
is that the scheduler will still report steal time (that cannot be
disabled), but won't use this information for cpu power adjustments.
Everytime update_rq_clock_task() is invoked, we query information
about how much time was stolen since last call, and feed it into
sched_rt_avg_update().
Although steal time reporting in account_process_tick() keeps
track of the last time we read the steal clock, in prev_steal_time,
this patch do it independently using another field,
prev_steal_time_rq. This is because otherwise, information about time
accounted in update_process_tick() would never reach us in update_rq_clock().

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.
This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.
Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time
This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

This is per-vcpu, and using the kvmclock structure for that is an abuse

holds the memory area address containing information about steal time

Avoid two step jump to the error handling part. This eliminates the use
of the variables present and rsvd_fault.
We also use the const type qualifier to show that write/user/fetch_fault
do not change in the function.
Both of these were suggested by Ingo Molnar.

This reverts commit bee931d31e588b8eb86b7edee32fac2d16930cd7.
TLB flush should be done lazily during guest entry, in
kvm_mmu_load().

kvm_set_cr0() and kvm_set_cr4(), and possible other functions,
assume that kvm_mmu_reset_context() flushes the guest TLB. However,
it does not.
Fix by flushing the tlb (and syncing the new root as well).

When CR0.WP=0, we sometimes map user pages as kernel pages (to allow
the kernel to write to them). Unfortunately this also allows the kernel
to fetch from these pages, even if CR4.SMEP is set.
Adjust for this by also setting NX on the spte in these circumstances.

This patch exposes ERMS feature to KVM guests.
The REP MOVSB/STOSB instruction can enhance fast strings attempts to
move as much of the data with larger size load/stores as possible.

commit 123108f1c1aafd51d6a5c79cc04d7999dd88a930 tried to fix KVMs
XSAVE valid feature scanning, but it was wrong. It was not considering
the sparse nature of this bitfield, instead reading values from
uninitialized members of the entries array.
This patch now separates subleaf indicies from KVM's array indicies
and fills the entry before querying it's value.
This fixes AVX support in KVM guests.

The nested VMX feature is supposed to fully emulate VMX for the guest. This
(theoretically) not only allows it to run its own guests, but also also
to further emulate VMX for its own guests, and allow arbitrarily deep nesting.
This patch fixes a bug (discovered by Kevin Tian) in handling a VMLAUNCH
by L2, which prevented deeper nesting.
Deeper nesting now works (I only actually tested L3), but is currently
*absurdly* slow, to the point of being unusable.
