Currently timer events are processed before entering guest mode. Move it
to main vcpu event loop since timer events should be processed even while
vcpu is halted.  Timer may cause interrupt/nmi to be injected and only then
vcpu will be unhalted.

Sheng Yang e56d532f20 KVM: Device assignment framework rework
After discussion with Marcelo, we decided to rework device assignment framework
together. The old problems are kernel logic is unnecessary complex. So Marcelo
suggest to split it into a more elegant way:

1. Split host IRQ assign and guest IRQ assign. And userspace determine the
combination. Also discard msi2intx parameter, userspace can specific
KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI | KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_INTX in assigned_irq->flags to
enable MSI to INTx convertion.

2. Split assign IRQ and deassign IRQ. Import two new ioctls:
KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ and KVM_DEASSIGN_DEV_IRQ.

This patch also fixed the reversed _IOR vs _IOW in definition(by deprecated the
old interface).

Matt T. Yourst 2dea4c84bc KVM: x86: silence preempt warning on kvm_write_guest_time
This issue just appeared in kvm-84 when running on 2.6.28.7 (x86-64)
with PREEMPT enabled.

We're getting syslog warnings like this many (but not all) times qemu
tells KVM to run the VCPU:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:

sys_futex+0xb4/0x140
sys_ioctl+0x99/0xa0
system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

As it turns out, the call trace is messed up due to gcc's inlining, but
I isolated the problem anyway: kvm_write_guest_time() is being used in a
non-thread-safe manner on preemptable kernels.

Basically kvm_write_guest_time()'s body needs to be surrounded by
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(), since the kernel won't let us
query any per-CPU data (indirectly using smp_processor_id()) without
preemption disabled. The attached patch fixes this issue by disabling
preemption inside kvm_write_guest_time().

[marcelo: surround only __get_cpu_var calls since the warning
is harmless]

Sheng Yang d510d6cc65 KVM: Enable MSI-X for KVM assigned device
This patch finally enable MSI-X.

What we need for MSI-X:
1. Intercept one page in MMIO region of device. So that we can get guest desired
MSI-X table and set up the real one. Now this have been done by guest, and
transfer to kernel using ioctl KVM_SET_MSIX_NR and KVM_SET_MSIX_ENTRY.

2. Information for incoming interrupt. Now one device can have more than one
interrupt, and they are all handled by one workqueue structure. So we need to
identify them. The previous patch enable gsi_msg_pending_bitmap get this done.

3. Mapping from host IRQ to guest gsi as well as guest gsi to real MSI/MSI-X
message address/data. We used same entry number for the host and guest here, so
that it's easy to find the correlated guest gsi.

What we lack for now:
1. The PCI spec said nothing can existed with MSI-X table in the same page of
MMIO region, except pending bits. The patch ignore pending bits as the first
step (so they are always 0 - no pending).

2. The PCI spec allowed to change MSI-X table dynamically. That means, the OS
can enable MSI-X, then mask one MSI-X entry, modify it, and unmask it. The patch
didn't support this, and Linux also don't work in this way.

3. The patch didn't implement MSI-X mask all and mask single entry. I would
implement the former in driver/pci/msi.c later. And for single entry, userspace
should have reposibility to handle it.

Avi Kivity 5897297bc2 KVM: VMX: Don't intercept MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE
Windows 2008 accesses this MSR often on context switch intensive workloads;
since we run in guest context with the guest MSR value loaded (so swapgs can
work correctly), we can simply disable interception of rdmsr/wrmsr for this
MSR.

A complication occurs since in legacy mode, we run with the host MSR value
loaded. In this case we enable interception.  This means we need two MSR
bitmaps, one for legacy mode and one for long mode.

it didn't have

anymore, and try to use 0xf000000 - 0xffffffff for mmconfig

For 32bit, mcfg_res->end could be 32bit only (if 64 resources aren't used)
So use end - 1 to pass the value in mcfg->end to avoid overflow.

We don't need to worry about the e820 path, they are always 64 bit.

Mel Gorman 32b154c0b0 x86: ignore VM_LOCKED when determining if hugetlb-backed page tables can be shared or not
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302

On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween
shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs.  As part of this,
page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match
if they are to be shared.  All VMA flags are taken into account, including
VM_LOCKED.

The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork().  When a process with a
shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared
VMAs with different flags.  The impact is that the shared segment is
sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what
process is checking.

What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the
count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events.  As the page
tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the
children exit.  The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and
Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions
are freed.  This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix".

This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED
when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed
mapping.

Andreas Herrmann ca446d0635 [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: determine exact CPU frequency for HW Pstates
Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.

Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:

  "CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
  rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."

As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:

  powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
               processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
  powernow-k8:    0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)

But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:

  #x86info -a |grep Pstate
  ...
  Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
  Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
  Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)

Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

littlefalls2 board). By adding the atom family here, we at least get
the benefit of passive cooling in a thermal emergency. Not sure how
to see that its actually helping any, but the driver does bind and
claim its functioning on my atom 330.

Tejun Heo 46176b4f6b x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entries
For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
error.

When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.

The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches
but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right
thing to do.

The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

[ Impact: fix build with certain binutils by ignoring R_386_NONE ]

Avi Kivity a2edf57f51 KVM: Fix PDPTR reloading on CR4 writes
The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any
of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change.  Linux relies on this
behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot.

The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes
to PSE and PGE.

This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code
runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem
ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

Avi Kivity a8cd0244e9 KVM: Make paravirt tlb flush also reload the PAE PDPTRs
The paravirt tlb flush may be used not only to flush TLBs, but also
to reload the four page-directory-pointer-table entries, as it is used
as a replacement for reloading CR3.  Change the code to do the entire
CR3 reloading dance instead of simply flushing the TLB.
