Clean up the hypervisor layer and the hypervisor drivers, using an ops
structure instead of an enumeration with if statements.
The identity of the hypervisor, if needed, can be tested by testing
the pointer value in x86_hyper.
The MS-HyperV private state is moved into a normal global variable
(it's per-system state, not per-CPU state). Being a normal bss
variable, it will be left at all zero on non-HyperV platforms, and so
can generally be tested for HyperV-specific features without
additional qualification.

Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:
0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid
And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.
Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.
This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.

ACPI irq source overrides are allowed for the 16 isa irqs and are
allowed to map any gsi to any isa irq. A few motherboards have been
seen to take advantage of this and put the isa irqs on the 2nd or
3rd ioapic. This causes some problems, most notably the fact
that we can not use any gsi < 16.
To correct this move the gsis that are not isa irqs and have
a gsi number < 16 into the linux irq space just past gsi_end.
This is what the es7000 platform is doing today. Moving only the
low 16 gsis above the rest of the gsi's only penalizes weird
platforms, leaving sane acpi implementations with a 1-1 mapping
of gsis and irqs.

Long ago MP_ioapic_info was the primary way of setting up our
ioapic data structures and mp_register_ioapic was a compatibility
shim for acpi code. Now the situation is reversed and
and mp_register_ioapic is the primary way of setting up our
ioapic data structures.
Keep the setting up of ioapic data structures uniform by
having mp_register_ioapic call mp_register_ioapic.
This changes a few fields:
- type: is now hardset to MP_IOAPIC but type had to
bey MP_IOAPIC or MP_ioapic_info would not have been called.
- flags: is now hard coded to MPC_APIC_USABLE.
We require flags to contain at least MPC_APIC_USEBLE in
MP_ioapic_info and we don't ever examine flags so dropping
a few flags that might possibly exist that we have never
used is harmless.
- apicaddr: Unchanged
- apicver: Read from the ioapic instead of using the cached
hardware value in the MP table. The real hardware value
will be more accurate.
- apicid: Now verified to be unique and changed if it is not.
If the BIOS got this right this is a noop. If the BIOS did
not fixing things appears to be the better solution.
This adds gsi_base and gsi_end values to our ioapics defined with
the mpatable, which will make our lives simpler later since
we can always assume gsi_base and gsi_end are valid.

io_apic_redir_entries has a huge conceptual bug. It returns the maximum
redirection entry not the number of redirection entries. Which simply
does not match what the name of the function. This just caught me
and it caught Feng Tang, and Len Brown when they wrote sfi_parse_ioapic.
Modify io_apic_redir_entries to actually return the number of redirection
entries, and fix the callers so that they properly handle receiving the
number of the number of redirection table entries, instead of the
number of redirection table entries less one.
While the usage in sfi.c does not show up in this patch it is fixed
by virtue of the fact that io_apic_redir_entries now has the semantics
sfi_parse_ioapic most reasonably expects.

There are a number of cases where the current code makes the assumption
that isa irqs identity map to the first 16 acpi global system intereupts.
In most instances that assumption is correct as that is the required
behaviour in dual i8259 mode and the default behavior in ioapic mode.
However there are some systems out there that take advantage of acpis
interrupt remapping for the isa irqs to have a completely different
mapping of isa_irq to gsi.
Introduce acpi_isa_irq_to_gsi to perform this mapping explicitly in the
code that needs it. Initially this will be just the current assumed
identity mapping to ensure it's introduction does not cause regressions.

The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:
- task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
- cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses
The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.
The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
profiles.
We want the following new policies:
- task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
no particular privilege required.
- task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
must be privileged to do that.
- cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
already.
To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

After programming the HPET, we do a readback as a workaround for

an erratum in newer ICH chipsets (ICH9+) where reading the comparator
immediately after the write returns the old value. Furthermore, as
always, I/O reads are bad for performance.
Therefore, restrict the readback to the chipsets that need it, or, for

This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.
We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.
There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.
We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.
The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB
entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then
it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by
either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page
translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from
incorrect addresses."

Where as commit 211b3d03c7 seems to
workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of
opportunity for the bug to occur and does not totally remove it. This
patch disables mixed 4K/4MB page tables totally avoiding the page
splitting and not tripping this processor issue.
This is based on an original patch by Colin King.

When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the
corresponding selector is nonzero. This is taken by __switch_to() as
an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry.
However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can
result in inconsistent results after fork().
Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to().

When disabling an L3 cache index, make sure we disable that index in
all four subcaches of the L3. Clarify nomenclature while at it, wrt to
disable slots versus disable index and rename accordingly.
