Commits 4a31276930 ("x86: Turn the
copy_from_user check into an (optional) compile time warning")
and 63312b6a6f ("x86: Add a
Kconfig option to turn the copy_from_user warnings into errors")
touched only the 32-bit variant of copy_from_user(), whereas the
original commit 9f0cf4adb6 ("x86:
Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for
copy_from_user()") also added the same code to the 64-bit one.
Further the earlier conversion from an inline WARN() to the call
to copy_from_user_overflow() went a little too far: When the
number of bytes to be copied is not a constant (e.g. [looking at
3.11] in drivers/net/tun.c:__tun_chr_ioctl() or
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_inject.c:aer_inject_write()), the
compiler will always have to keep the funtion call, and hence
there will always be a warning. By using __builtin_constant_p()
we can avoid this.
And then this slightly extends the effect of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS in that apart from
converting warnings to errors in the constant size case, it
retains the (possibly wrong) warnings in the non-constant size
case, such that if someone is prepared to get a few false
positives, (s)he'll be able to recover the current behavior
(except that these diagnostics now will never be converted to
errors).
Since the 32-bit variant (intentionally) didn't call
might_fault(), the unification results in this being called
twice now. Adding a suitable #ifdef would be the alternative if
that's a problem.
I'd like to point out though that with
__compiletime_object_size() being restricted to gcc before 4.6,
the whole construct is going to become more and more pointless
going forward. I would question however that commit
2fb0815c9e ("gcc4: disable
__compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+") was really necessary,
and instead this should have been dealt with as is done here
from the beginning.

Since the paravirt spinlock optimizations went into the v3.12 kernel
we have a very good performance benefit for paravirtualized KVM / Xen
kernels. Also we no longer suffer from 5% side effect on native
kernel that is mentioned in the Kconfig entry.
So update the Kconfig entry accordingly.

The OF irq handling code has been overloading the term 'map' to refer to
both parsing the data in the device tree and mapping it to the internal
linux irq system. This is probably because the device tree does have the
concept of an 'interrupt-map' function for translating interrupt
references from one node to another, but 'map' is still confusing when
the primary purpose of some of the functions are to parse the DT data.
This patch renames all the of_irq_map_* functions to of_irq_parse_*
which makes it clear that there is a difference between the parsing
phase and the mapping phase. Kernel code can make use of just the
parsing or just the mapping support as needed by the subsystem.
The patch was generated mechanically with a handful of sed commands.

As Intel rolling out more SoC's after Moorestown, we need to
re-structure the code in a way that is backward compatible and easy to
expand. This patch implements a flexible way to support multiple boards
and devices.
This patch does not add any new functional support. It just refactors
the existing code to increase the modularity and decrease the code
duplication for supporting multiple soc's and boards.
Currently intel-mid.c has both board and soc related code in one file.
This patch moves the board related code to new files and let linker
script to create SFI devite table following this:
1. Move the SFI device specific code to
arch/x86/platform/intel-mid/device-libs/platform_<device>.*
A new device file is added for every supported device. This code will
get conditionally compiled by using corresponding device driver
CONFIG option.
2. Move the device_ids location to .x86_intel_mid_dev.init section by
using new sfi_device() macro.
This patch was based on previous code from Sathyanarayanan Kuppuswamy.

The solution to that is to avoid having to call copy_from_user_nmi() for
every instruction.
Since we already limit the max basic block size, we can easily
pre-allocate a piece of memory to copy the entire thing into in one
go.
Don reported this test result:

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.12-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull Xen fixes from Stefano Stabellini:
"A small fix for Xen on x86_32 and a build fix for xen-tpmfront on
arm64"
* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.12-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
xen: Fix possible user space selector corruption
tpm: xen-tpmfront: fix missing declaration of xen_domain
We use jump label to enable pv-spinlock. With the changes in (442e0973e9
Merge branch 'x86/jumplabel'), the jump label behaviour has changed
that would result in eventual hang of the VM since we would end up in a
situation where slow path locks would halt the vcpus but we will not be
able to wakeup the vcpu by lock releaser using unlock kick.
Similar problem in Xen and more detailed description is available in
a945928ea2 (xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init()
has executed)
This patch splits kvm_spinlock_init to separate jump label changes with
pvops patching and also make jump label enabling after jump_label_init().

Page pinning is not mandatory in kvm async page fault processing since
after async page fault event is delivered to a guest it accesses page once
again and does its own GUP. Drop the FOLL_GET flag in GUP in async_pf
code, and do some simplifying in check/clear processing.

I have a randconfig here which has enabled only
CONFIG_MICROCODE=y
CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE=y
with both
# CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL is not set
# CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD is not set
off. Which makes building the microcode functionality a little
pointless. Don't do that in such cases then.

The gfn_to_index function relies on huge page defines which either may
not make sense on systems that don't support huge pages or are defined
in an unconvenient way for other architectures. Since this is
x86-specific, move the function to arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h.

Pull gcc "asm goto" miscompilation workaround from Ingo Molnar:
"This is the fix for the GCC miscompilation discussed in the following
lkml thread:
[x86] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00740060
The bug in GCC has been fixed by Jakub and the fix will be part of the
GCC 4.8.2 release expected to be released next week - so the quirk's
version test checks for <= 4.8.1.
The quirk is only added to compiler-gcc4.h and not to the higher level
compiler.h because all asm goto uses are behind a feature check"
