c59bd56882 x86, hweight: Use a 32-bit popcnt for __arch_hweight32()
Use a 32-bit popcnt instruction for __arch_hweight32(), even on
x86-64.  Even though the input register will *usually* be
zero-extended due to the standard operation of the hardware, it isn't
necessarily so if the input value was the result of truncating a
64-bit operation.

Note: the POPCNT32 variant used on x86-64 has a technically
unnecessary REX prefix to make it five bytes long, the same as a CALL
instruction, therefore avoiding an unnecessary NOP.

ce7ddec4bb KVM: x86: Allow marking an exception as reinjected
This patch adds logic to kvm/x86 which allows to mark an
injected exception as reinjected. This allows to remove an
ugly hack from svm_complete_interrupts that prevented
exceptions from being reinjected at all in the nested case.
The hack was necessary because an reinjected exception into
the nested guest could cause a nested vmexit emulation. But
reinjected exceptions must not intercept. The downside of
the hack is that a exception that in injected could get
lost.
This patch fixes the problem and puts the code for it into
generic x86 files because. Nested-VMX will likely have the
same problem and could reuse the code.

Since commit bf47a760f6, we no longer handle ptes with the global bit

5b7e0102ae KVM: MMU: Replace role.glevels with role.cr4_pae
There is no real distinction between glevels=3 and glevels=4; both have
exactly the same format and the code is treated exactly the same way.  Drop
role.glevels and replace is with role.cr4_pae (which is meaningful).  This
simplifies the code a bit.

As a side effect, it allows sharing shadow page tables between pae and
longmode guest page tables at the same guest page.

6bc31bdc55 KVM: SVM: implement NEXTRIPsave SVM feature
On SVM we set the instruction length of skipped instructions
to hard-coded, well known values, which could be wrong when (bogus,
but valid) prefixes (REX, segment override) are used.
Newer AMD processors (Fam10h 45nm and better, aka. PhenomII or
AthlonII) have an explicit NEXTRIP field in the VMCB containing the
desired information.
Since it is cheap to do so, we use this field to override the guessed
value on newer processors.
A fix for older CPUs would be rather expensive, as it would require
to fetch and partially decode the instruction. As the problem is not
a security issue and needs special, handcrafted code to trigger
(no compiler will ever generate such code), I omit a fix for older
CPUs.
If someone is interested, I have both a patch for these CPUs as well as
demo code triggering this issue: It segfaults under KVM, but runs
perfectly on native Linux.

Currently when string instruction is only partially complete we go back
to a guest mode, guest tries to reexecute instruction and exits again

exception causes immediate guest entry too.

Currently emulation is done outside of emulator so things like doing
ins/outs to/from mmio are broken it also makes it hard (if not impossible)
to implement single stepping in the future. The implementation in this

previous implementation did 'ins' in batches. Further patch that

cf8f70bfe3 KVM: x86 emulator: fix in/out emulation.
in/out emulation is broken now. The breakage is different depending
on where IO device resides. If it is in userspace emulator reports
emulation failure since it incorrectly interprets kvm_emulate_pio()
return value. If IO device is in the kernel emulation of 'in' will do
nothing since kvm_emulate_pio() stores result directly into vcpu
registers, so emulator will overwrite result of emulation during
commit of shadowed register.

Mov reg, cr instruction doesn't change flags in any meaningful way, so
no need to update rflags after instruction execution.

08e850c653 KVM: MMU: Reinstate pte prefetch on invlpg
Commit fb341f57 removed the pte prefetch on guest invlpg, citing guest races.
However, the SDM is adamant that prefetch is allowed:

  "The processor may create entries in paging-structure caches for
   translations required for prefetches and for accesses that are a
   result of speculative execution that would never actually occur
   in the executed code path."

And, in fact, there was a race in the prefetch code: we picked up the pte
without the mmu lock held, so an older invlpg could install the pte over
a newer invlpg.

Reinstate the prefetch logic, but this time note whether another invlpg has
executed using a counter.  If a race occured, do not install the pte.

K8_NB depends on PCI and when the last is disabled (allnoconfig) we fail
at the final linking stage due to missing exported num_k8_northbridges.
Add a header stub for that.

The newer assemblers support the .cfi_sections directive so we can put

.eh_frame section that is now discarded by vmlinux.lds.S.

58687acba5 lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector
The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very
similar in structure to the softlockup detector.  Using Ingo's
suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file:
kernel/watchdog.c.

Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup
detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every
60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups.

To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I
implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event
overflow event.  If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is
most likely in trouble.

To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the
previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires.
If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the
warning is printed to the console.

I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths
work.

V2:
- cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination
- surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
- seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem
- re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space
- added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases
- removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events

V3:
- comment cleanups
- drop support for older softlockup code
- per_cpu cleanups
- completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector
- use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection
- #ifdef cleanups
- rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR
- documentation additions

V4:
- documentation fixes
- convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var
- powerpc compile fixes

V5:
- split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups

TODO:
- figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call
  (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period

a3c8acd043 x86: Add new static_cpu_has() function using alternatives
For CPU-feature-specific code that touches performance-critical paths,
introduce a static patching version of [boot_]cpu_has().  This is run
at alternatives time and is therefore not appropriate for most
initialization code, but on the other hand initialization code is
generally not performance critical.

On gcc 4.5+ this uses the new "asm goto" feature.
