973df35ed9 xen: set up mmu_ops before trying to set any ptes
xen_setup_stackprotector() ends up trying to set page protections,
so we need to have vm_mmu_ops set up before trying to do so.
Failing to do so causes an early boot crash.

[ Impact: Fix early crash under Xen. ]

772be899bc x86: Make EFI RTC function depend on 32bit again
The EFI RTC functions are only available on 32 bit. commit 7bd867df
(x86: Move get/set_wallclock to x86_platform_ops) removed the 32bit
dependency which leads to boot crashes on 64bit EFI systems.

Add the dependency back.

81766741fe x86-64: Fix register leak in 32-bit syscall audting
Restoring %ebp after the call to audit_syscall_exit() is not
only unnecessary (because the register didn't get clobbered),
but in the sysenter case wasn't even doing the right thing: It
loaded %ebp from a location below the top of stack (RBP <
ARGOFFSET), i.e. arbitrary kernel data got passed back to user
mode in the register.

72ed7de74e x86: crash_dump: Fix non-pae kdump kernel memory accesses
Non-PAE 32-bit dump kernels may wrap an address around 4G and
poke unwanted space. ptes there are 32-bit long, and since
pfn << PAGE_SIZE may exceed this limit, high pfn bits are
cropped and wrong address mapped by kmap_atomic_pfn in
copy_oldmem_page.

Don't allow this behavior in non-PAE kdump kernels by checking
pfns passed into copy_oldmem_page. In the case of failure,
userspace process gets EFAULT.

ae1b22f6e4 x86: Side-step lguest problem by only building cmpxchg8b_emu for pre-Pentium
Commit 79e1dd05d1 "x86: Provide an alternative() based
cmpxchg64()" broke lguest, even on systems which have cmpxchg8b
support.  The emulation code gets used until alternatives get
run, but it contains native instructions, not their paravirt
alternatives.

The simplest fix is to turn this code off except for 386 and 486
builds.

02dd0a0613 x86, UV: Set DELIVERY_MODE=4 for vector=NMI_VECTOR in uv_hub_send_ipi()
When sending a NMI_VECTOR IPI using the UV_HUB_IPI_INT register,
we need to ensure the delivery mode field of that register has
NMI delivery selected.

This makes those IPIs true NMIs, instead of flat IPIs. It
matters to reboot sequences and KGDB, both of which use NMI
IPIs.

13b79b9715 crypto: aesni-intel - Fix irq_fpu_usable usage
When renaming kernel_fpu_using to irq_fpu_usable, the semantics of the
function is changed too, from mesuring whether kernel is using FPU,
that is, the FPU is NOT available, to measuring whether FPU is usable,
that is, the FPU is available.

But the usage of irq_fpu_usable in aesni-intel_glue.c is not changed
accordingly. This patch fixes this.

93ae5012a7 x86: Don't print number of MCE banks for every CPU
The MCE initialization code explicitly says it doesn't handle
asymmetric configurations where different CPUs support different
numbers of MCE banks, and it prints a big warning in that case.

Therefore, printing the "mce: CPU supports <x> MCE banks"
message into the kernel log for every CPU is pure redundancy
that clutters the log significantly for systems with lots of
CPUs.

036ed8ba61 x86, UV: Fix information in __uv_hub_info structure
A few parts of the uv_hub_info structure are initialized
incorrectly.

 - n_val is being loaded with m_val.
 - gpa_mask is initialized with a bytes instead of an unsigned long.
 - Handle the case where none of the alias registers are used.

Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val
which is the correct value.

Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a
problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode
and the bau will not operate.

71999d9862 x86/paravirt: Use normal calling sequences for irq enable/disable
Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled,
and debugged it back to edx register corruption.

For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special
calling sequences to make them more efficient.  With the more
recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations
this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_
macros.

This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left
edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in
__PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use.

This reverts commit 9bcbdd9c58.

The real bug producing LatencyTop latencies has been fixed in:

  f5dc375: sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected

And the commit being reverted here triggers local timer processing
from every device IRQ. If device IRQs come in at a high frequency,
this could cause a performance regression.

The commit being reverted here purely 'fixed' the reported latency
as a side effect, because CPUs were being moved out of idle more
often.

9bcbdd9c58 x86, timers: Check for pending timers after (device) interrupts
Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also
reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using
iwlagn.

It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get
checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic
timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other
wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible.

The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer
interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that:

 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less

 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
    the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.

I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the
original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported
success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec
range.

this flag notify that the host physical page we are pointing to from

to be write unless we run get_user_pages(write = 1).

acb66dd051 KVM: MMU: dont hold pagecount reference for mapped sptes pages
When using mmu notifiers, we are allowed to remove the page count
reference tooken by get_user_pages to a specific page that is mapped
inside the shadow page tables.

This is needed so we can balance the pagecount against mapcount
checking.

(Right now kvm increase the pagecount and does not increase the
mapcount when mapping page into shadow page table entry,
so when comparing pagecount against mapcount, you have no
reliable result.)

eb5109e311 KVM: VMX: flush TLB with INVEPT on cpu migration
It is possible that stale EPTP-tagged mappings are used, if a
vcpu migrates to a different pcpu.

Set KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH in vmx_vcpu_load, when switching pcpus, which
will invalidate both VPID and EPT mappings on the next vm-entry.

77b1ab1732 KVM: SVM: Fix tsc offset adjustment when running nested
When svm_vcpu_load is called while the vcpu is running in
guest mode the tsc adjustment made there is lost on the next
emulated #vmexit. This causes the tsc running backwards in
the guest. This patch fixes the issue by also adjusting the
tsc_offset in the emulated hsave area so that it will not
get lost.
