44882eed2e KVM: make irq ack notifications aware of routing table
IRQ ack notifications assume an identity mapping between pin->gsi,
which might not be the case with, for example, HPET.

Translate before acking.

91b2ae773d KVM: Avoid using CONFIG_ in userspace visible headers
Kconfig symbols are not available in userspace, and are not stripped by
headers-install.  Avoid their use by adding #defines in <asm/kvm.h> to

399ec807dd KVM: Userspace controlled irq routing
Currently KVM has a static routing from GSI numbers to interrupts (namely,
0-15 are mapped 1:1 to both PIC and IOAPIC, and 16:23 are mapped 1:1 to
the IOAPIC).  This is insufficient for several reasons:

- HPET requires non 1:1 mapping for the timer interrupt
- MSIs need a new method to assign interrupt numbers and dispatch them
- ACPI APIC mode needs to be able to reassign the PCI LINK interrupts to the
  ioapics

This patch implements an interrupt routing table (as a linked list, but this
can be easily changed) and a userspace interface to replace the table.  The
routing table is initialized according to the current hardwired mapping.

75858a84a6 KVM: Interrupt mask notifiers for ioapic
Allow clients to request notifications when the guest masks or unmasks a
particular irq line.  This complements irq ack notifications, as the guest
will not ack an irq line that is masked.

Currently implemented for the ioapic only.

17071fe74f KVM: Add support to disable MSI for assigned device
MSI is always enabled by default for msi2intx=1. But if msi2intx=0, we
have to disable MSI if guest require to do so.

The patch also discard unnecessary msi2intx judgment if guest want to update
MSI state.

Notice KVM_DEV_IRQ_ASSIGN_MSI_ACTION is a mask which should cover all MSI
related operations, though we only got one for now.

d0bfb940ec KVM: New guest debug interface
This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.

To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.

The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.

Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

c0f92ba99b debugfs: function to know if debugfs is initialized
Impact: add new debugfs API

With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls
and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem.
Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their
file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area
but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it
really more easy.

f2440d9acb PCI MSI: Refactor interrupt masking code
Since most of the callers already know whether they have an MSI or
an MSI-X capability, split msi_set_mask_bits() into msi_mask_irq()
and msix_mask_irq().  The only callers which don't (mask_msi_irq()
and unmask_msi_irq()) can share code in msi_set_mask_bit().  This then
becomes the only caller of msix_flush_writes(), so we can inline it.
The flushing read can be to any address that belongs to the device,
so we can eliminate the calculation too.

We can also get rid of maskbits_mask from struct msi_desc and simply
recalculate it on the rare occasion that we need it.  The single-bit
'masked' element is replaced by a copy of the 32-bit 'masked' register,
so this patch does not affect the size of msi_desc.

a4b6d516a6 [MTD] partitioning utility predicates
Move mtd_has_partitions() and mtd_has_cmdlinepart() inlines from a
DaVinci-specific driver to the <linux/mtd/partitions.h> header.

Use those to eliminate #ifdefs in two drivers which had their own
definitions of mtd_has_partitions().

Quite a lot of other MTD drivers could benefit from using use one or both
of these to remove #ifdeffery.  Maybe some Janitors would like to help.

5e140dfc1f net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance
dev_queue_xmit() needs to dirty fields "state", "q", "bstats" and "qstats"

On x86_64 arch, they currently span three cache lines, involving more
cache line ping pongs than necessary, making longer holding of queue spinlock.

We can reduce this to one cache line, by grouping all read-mostly fields
at the beginning of structure. (Or should I say, all highly modified fields
at the end :) )

Before patch :

offsetof(struct Qdisc, state)=0x38
offsetof(struct Qdisc, q)=0x48
offsetof(struct Qdisc, bstats)=0x80
offsetof(struct Qdisc, qstats)=0x90
sizeof(struct Qdisc)=0xc8

After patch :

offsetof(struct Qdisc, state)=0x80
offsetof(struct Qdisc, q)=0x88
offsetof(struct Qdisc, bstats)=0xa0
offsetof(struct Qdisc, qstats)=0xac
sizeof(struct Qdisc)=0xc0

2e1ab634bf rtnetlink: add new value for DHCP added routes
To improve manageability, it would be good to be able to disambiguate routes
added by administrator from those added by DHCP client.  The only necessary
kernel change is to add value to rtnetlink include file so iproute2 utility
can use it.
