Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.
Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.
Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.
Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

The vmexit tracepoints format the exit_reason to make it human-readable.
Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm),
formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to
the appropriate exit reason table.
However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used
directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table
which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces.
In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and
trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra
formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other
userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar
trouble.
To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch
moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and
selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the
instruction set. Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting
the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work.

The kvm_exit tracepoint recently added the isa argument to aid decoding
exit_reason. The semantics of exit_reason depend on the instruction set
(vmx or svm) and the isa argument allows traces to be analyzed on other
machines.
Add the isa argument to kvm_nested_vmexit and kvm_nested_vmexit_inject
so these tracepoints can also be self-describing.

The patch raises the hard limit of VCPU count to 254.
This will allow developers to easily work on scalability
and will allow users to test high VCPU setups easily without
patching the kernel.
To prevent possible issues with current setups, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS
now returns the recommended VCPU limit (which is still 64) - this
should be a safe value for everybody, while a new KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS
returns the hard limit which is now 254.

A deadlock was introduced on x86 in commit ef68c8f87e ("x86:
Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock") because efi_get_time()
and friends can be called with rtc_lock already held by
read_persistent_time(), e.g.:
timekeeping_init()
read_persistent_clock() <-- acquire rtc_lock
efi_get_time()
phys_efi_get_time() <-- acquire rtc_lock <DEADLOCK>
To fix this let's push the locking down into the get_wallclock()
and set_wallclock() implementations. Only the clock
implementations that access the x86 RTC directly need to acquire
rtc_lock, so it makes sense to push the locking down into the
rtc, vrtc and efi code.
The virtualization implementations don't require rtc_lock to be
held because they provide their own serialization.

This is a workaround for a UV2 hub bug that affects the format of system
global addresses.
The GRU API for UV2 was inadvertently broken by a hardware change. The
format of the physical address used for TLB dropins and for addresses used
with instructions running in unmapped mode has changed. This change was
not documented and became apparent only when diags failed running on
system simulators.
For UV1, TLB and GRU instruction physical addresses are identical to
socket physical addresses (although high NASID bits must be OR'ed into the
address).
For UV2, socket physical addresses need to be converted. The NODE portion
of the physical address needs to be shifted so that the low bit is in bit
39 or bit 40, depending on an MMR value.
It is not yet clear if this bug will be fixed in a silicon respin. If it
is fixed, the hub revision will be incremented & the workaround disabled.

This new driver replaces the old PCEngines Alix 2/3 LED driver with a
new driver that controls the LEDs through the leds-gpio driver. The
old driver accessed GPIOs directly, which created a conflict and
prevented also loading the cs5535-gpio driver to read other GPIOs on
the Alix board. With this new driver, we hook into leds-gpio which in
turn uses GPIO to control the LEDs and therefore it's possible to
control both the LEDs and access onboard GPIOs
Driver is moved to platform/geode as requested by Grant and any other
geode initialisation modules should move here also
This driver is inspired by leds-net5501.c by Alessandro Zummo.
Ideally, leds-net5501.c should also be moved to platform/geode.
Additionally the driver relies on parts of the patch: 7f131cf3ed ("leds:

For older IO-APIC's, we were clearing the remote-IRR by changing
the RTE trigger mode to edge and then back to level. We wanted
to mask the RTE during this process, so we were essentially
doing mask+edge and then to unmask+level.
As part of the commit ca64c47cec,
we moved this EOI process earlier where the IO-APIC RTE is
masked. So we were wrongly unmasking it in the eoi_ioapic_irq().
So change the remote-IRR clear sequence in eoi_ioapic_irq() to
mask + edge and then restore the previous RTE entry which will
restore the mask status as well as the level trigger.

In the kdump scenario mentioned below, we can have a case where
the device using level triggered interrupt will not generate any
interrupts in the kdump kernel.
1. IO-APIC sends a level triggered interrupt to the CPU's local APIC.
2. Kernel crashed before the CPU services this interrupt, leaving
the remote-IRR in the IO-APIC set.
3. kdump kernel boot sequence does clear_IO_APIC() as part of IO-APIC
initialization. But this fails to reset remote-IRR bit of the
IO-APIC RTE as the remote-IRR bit is read-only.
4. Device using that level triggered entry can't generate any
more interrupts because of the remote-IRR bit.
In clear_IO_APIC_pin(), check if the remote-IRR bit is set and if
so do an explicit attempt to clear it (by doing EOI write on
modern io-apic's and changing trigger mode to edge/level on
older io-apic's). Also before doing the explicit EOI to the
io-apic, ensure that the trigger mode is indeed set to level.
This will enable the explicit EOI to the io-apic to reset the
remote-IRR bit.

On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping
capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS
doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic
brings in.
Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of
this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was
resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms.
Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's,
then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has
enabled.
On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to
turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it.
To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification:
http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf
includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system
software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode.
Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before
enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning
that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request.
Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to
override the BIOS x2apic optout request.

xen/i386: follow-up to "replace order-based range checking of M2P table by linear one"

xen/e820: if there is no dom0_mem=, don't tweak extra_pages.

On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now
unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16
bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much.
However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for
the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit
59e97e4d6f ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative").
So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good
idea.
On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly
hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had
used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts
have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and
rwsem).
That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment
would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section,
causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction
replacement.
So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's
unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the
linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the
proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive
were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious
bug to begin with.

del_timer_sync() can cause a deadlock when called in interrupt context.
It is used with on_each_cpu() in some parts for sysfs files like bank*,
check_interval, cmci_disabled and ignore_ce.
However, use of on_each_cpu() results in calling the function passed
as the argument in interrupt context. This causes a flood of nested
warnings from del_timer_sync() (it runs on each CPU) caused even by a
simple file access like:
$ echo 300 > /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck0/check_interval
Fortunately, these MCE-specific files are rarely used and AFAIK only few
MCE geeks experience this warning.
To remove the warning, move timer deletion outside of the interrupt

(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:
...
The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the
'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed).
The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages'
using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem
has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with
MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation:
return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES);
and use it:
extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages();
if (extra_limit >= max_pfn)
extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn;
else
extra_pages = 0;
which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432)
- 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller),
and then we add that value to the E820 making it:
Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable)
which is clearly wrong. It should look as so:
Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000027fbda000 (usable)
Naturally this problem does not present itself if dom0_mem=max:X

PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are
enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV
spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we
cannot switch between them dynamically. A spinlock that has been taken
once by the native code (__ticket_spin_lock) cannot be taken by
__xen_spin_lock even after it has been released.

The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device
should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an
attribute of the clockevents device.
In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a
massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a
clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has
been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will
erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic
adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

x86, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain
perf_event: Fix broken calc_timer_values()
perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code
* 'stable/bug.fixes' of git://oss.oracle.com/git/kwilk/xen:
xen/smp: Warn user why they keel over - nosmp or noapic and what to use instead.
xen: x86_32: do not enable iterrupts when returning from exception in interrupt context
xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM
We have hit a couple of customer bugs where they would like to
use those parameters to run an UP kernel - but both of those
options turn of important sources of interrupt information so
we end up not being able to boot. The correct way is to
pass in 'dom0_max_vcpus=1' on the Xen hypervisor line and
the kernel will patch itself to be a UP kernel.

If vmalloc page_fault happens inside of interrupt handler with interrupts
disabled then on exit path from exception handler when there is no pending
interrupts, the following code (arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S:112):
cmpw $0x0001, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(%eax)
sete XEN_vcpu_info_mask(%eax)
will enable interrupts even if they has been previously disabled according to
eflags from the bounce frame (arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S:99)
testb $X86_EFLAGS_IF>>8, 8+1+ESP_OFFSET(%esp)
setz XEN_vcpu_info_mask(%eax)
Solution is in setting XEN_vcpu_info_mask only when it should be set
according to
cmpw $0x0001, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(%eax)
but not clearing it if there isn't any pending events.
Reproducer for bug is attached to RHBZ 707552
