c697518a86 KVM: Fix segment descriptor loading
Add proper error and permission checking. This patch also change task
switching code to load segment selectors before segment descriptors, like
SDM requires, otherwise permission checking during segment descriptor
loading will be incorrect.

1871c6020d KVM: x86 emulator: fix memory access during x86 emulation
Currently when x86 emulator needs to access memory, page walk is done with
broadest permission possible, so if emulated instruction was executed
by userspace process it can still access kernel memory. Fix that by
providing correct memory access to page walker during emulation.

a004475567 KVM: x86 emulator: Add Virtual-8086 mode of emulation
For some instructions CPU behaves differently for real-mode and
virtual 8086. Let emulator know which mode cpu is in, so it will
not poke into vcpu state directly.

c76de350c8 KVM: SVM: Clean up and enhance mov dr emulation
Enhance mov dr instruction emulation used by SVM so that it properly
handles dr4/5: alias to dr6/7 if cr4.de is cleared. Otherwise return
EMULATE_FAIL which will let our only possible caller in that scenario,
ud_interception, re-inject UD.

We do not need to inject faults, SVM does this for us (exceptions take
precedence over instruction interceptions). For the same reason, the
value overflow checks can be removed.

02daab21d9 KVM: Lazify fpu activation and deactivation
Defer fpu deactivation as much as possible - if the guest fpu is loaded, keep
it loaded until the next heavyweight exit (where we are forced to unload it).
This reduces unnecessary exits.

We also defer fpu activation on clts; while clts signals the intent to use the
fpu, we can't be sure the guest will actually use it.

we copy them to the vcpu structure.  In preparation for making the set of

78c0617646 x86: Enable NMI on all cpus on UV
Enable NMI on all cpus in UV system and add an NMI handler
to dump_stack on each cpu.

By default on x86 all the cpus except the boot cpu have NMI
masked off.  This patch enables NMI on all cpus in UV system
and adds an NMI handler to dump_stack on each cpu.  This
way if a system hangs we can NMI the machine and get a
backtrace from all the cpus.

Version 2: Use x86_platform driver mechanism for nmi init, per
           Ingo's suggestion.

Version 3: Clean up Ingo's nits.

1431559200 x86, mm: Allow highmem user page tables to be disabled at boot time
Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to
enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem
enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which
have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not
really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the
price of the additional mapping operations.

Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but
no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system
time used from 59.737s to 55.9s.

With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated:
  Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
  Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914)

This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in
highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the
status-quo as the default.

It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which
allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently
large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful
experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold
at 16G of total RAM.

Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE
pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration,
meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using
lowmem PTEs.

Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required
lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which
reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT
pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that
even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for
highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound
of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in
practice 64G is still supported).

It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM
you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

7bc5e3f2be x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info by default on 2008 and newer machines
The main benefit of using ACPI host bridge window information is that
we can do better resource allocation in systems with multiple host bridges,
e.g., http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14183

Sometimes we need _CRS information even if we only have one host bridge,
e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341681

Most of these systems are relatively new, so this patch turns on
"pci=use_crs" only on machines with a BIOS date of 2008 or newer.

326264a024 hw-breakpoint: Keep track of dr7 local enable bits
When the user enables breakpoints through dr7, he can choose
between "local" or "global" enable bits but given how linux is
implemented, both have the same effect.

That said we don't keep track how the user enabled the breakpoints
so when the user requests the dr7 value, we only translate the
"enabled" status using the global enabled bits. It means that if
the user enabled a breakpoint using the local enabled bit, reading
back dr7 will set the global bit and clear the local one.

Apps like Wine expect a full dr7 POKEUSER/PEEKUSER match for emulated
softwares that implement old reverse engineering protection schemes.

We fix that by keeping track of the whole dr7 value given by the user
in the thread structure to drop this bug. We'll think about
something more proper later.

This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

e7b8e675d9 tracing: Unify arch_syscall_addr() implementations
Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a
default version in common code and move the one piece that differs (the
syscall table) to asm/syscall.h.  New arch ports don't have to waste
time copying & pasting this simple function.

The s390/sparc versions need to be different, so document why.

For some reason the 64-bit tree was doing this differently and

This correct behaviour when you have two GPUs plugged in and
32-bit put the console in one place and 64-bit in another.

17c0e7107b x86: Mark atomic irq ops raw for 32bit legacy
The atomic ops emulation for 32bit legacy CPUs floods the tracer with
irq off/on entries. The irq disabled regions are short and therefor
not interesting when chasing long irq disabled latencies. Mark them
raw and keep them out of the trace.

8df5bb34de x86, numa: Add fixed node size option for numa emulation
numa=fake=N specifies the number of fake nodes, N, to partition the
system into and then allocates them by interleaving over physical nodes.
This requires knowledge of the system capacity when attempting to
allocate nodes of a certain size: either very large nodes to benchmark
scalability of code that operates on individual nodes, or very small
nodes to find bugs in the VM.

This patch introduces numa=fake=<size>[MG] so it is possible to specify
the size of each node to allocate.  When used, nodes of the size
specified will be allocated and interleaved over the set of physical
nodes.

FAKE_NODE_MIN_SIZE was also moved to the more-appropriate
include/asm/numa_64.h.
