The new Intel documentation includes Westmere arch specific
event maps that are significantly different from the Nehalem
ones. Add support for this generation.
Found the CPUID model numbers on wikipedia.
Also ammend some Nehalem constraints, spotted those when looking
for the differences between Nehalem and Westmere.

This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU
registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group.
The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each
event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e.,
works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any
counter.
Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via
this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic.
The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling
algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open().
The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running
the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual
assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is
implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

But for certain cases such as:

b) exceptions due to other causes than breakpoints

When running perf across all cpus with backtracing (-a -g), sometimes we
get samples without associated backtraces:
23.44% init [kernel] [k] restore
11.46% init eeba0c [k] 0x00000000eeba0c
6.77% swapper [kernel] [k] .perf_ctx_adjust_freq
5.73% init [kernel] [k] .__trace_hcall_entry
4.69% perf libc-2.9.so [.] 0x0000000006bb8c
|
|--11.11%-- 0xfffa941bbbc
It turns out the backtrace code has a check for the idle task and the IP
sampling does not. This creates problems when profiling an interrupt
heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces
for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload).
Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never
happen so remove that too.
Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top
of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.

While processing kernel perf callchains, an bad entry can be
considered as a valid stack pointer but not as a kernel address.
In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an
x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel
stacktrace.
Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid
kernel address.
This fixes a hard lockup in x86-32.

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable
pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately
userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable,
potentially turning an oops to an expolit.
To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override
the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values.
This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains
areas that cannot be mapped.
Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed
"No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM
AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit:
> commit 23359a88e7

> x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg
As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check
in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a
situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector
mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration
might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get
the "No IRQ handler" messages.
Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move
is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup
interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the
new cpu destination).

Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path
to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace.
Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the
callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because
we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before
retrieving the interrupted point.
We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the
captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.

avail_to_resrv_perfctr_nmi() is neither EXPORT'd, nor used in
the file. So remove it.

User space may not want to overwrite asynchronously changing VCPU event
states on write-back. So allow to skip nmi.pending and sipi_vector by
setting corresponding bits in the flags field of kvm_vcpu_events.
[avi: advertise the bits in KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS]

The vcpus are initialized with irr_pending set to false, but
loading the LAPIC registers with pending IRR fails to reset
the irr_pending variable.

The invlpg prefault optimization breaks Windows 2008 R2 occasionally.
The visible effect is that the invlpg handler instantiates a pte which
is, microseconds later, written with a different gfn by another vcpu.
The OS could have other mechanisms to prevent a present translation from
being used, which the hypervisor is unaware of.
While the documentation states that the cpu is at liberty to prefetch tlb
entries, it looks like this is not heeded, so remove tlb prefetch from
invlpg.

Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which
default to -march=i686. This breaks building kernels for pre-i686
machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the
generation of CMOV instructions.
There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these
instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the
decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.
