On HP Folio 13-2000, the BIOS defines a CMOS RTC Operation Region and
the EC's _REG methord accesses that region. Thus an appropriate
address space handler must be registered for that region before the
EC driver is loaded.
Introduce a mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers.
Register an ACPI scan handler for CMOS RTC devices such that, when
a device of that kind is detected during an ACPI namespace scan, a
common CMOS RTC operation region address space handler will be
installed for it.

If a GFS2 file system is mounted with quotas and a file is grown
in such a way that its free blocks for the allocation are represented
in a secondary bitmap, GFS2 ran out of blocks in the transaction.
That resulted in "fatal: assertion "tr->tr_num_buf <= tr->tr_blocks".
This patch reserves extra blocks for the quota change so the
transaction has enough space.

Sending the right snapshot context with each write is required for
snapshots to work. Due to the ordering of calls, the snapshot context
is never set for any requests. This causes writes to the current
version of the image to be reflected in all snapshots, which are
supposed to be read-only.
This happens because rbd_osd_req_format_write() sets the snapshot
context based on obj_request->img_request. At this point, however,
obj_request->img_request has not been set yet, to the snapshot context
is set to NULL. Fix this by moving rbd_img_obj_request_add(), which
sets obj_request->img_request, before the osd request formatting
calls.
This resolves:

Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset for tracing TSC offset change.
We want to merge ftrace's trace data of guest OSs and the host OS using
TSC for timestamp in chronological order. We need "TSC offset" values for
each guest when merge those because the TSC value on a guest is always the
host TSC plus guest's TSC offset. If we get the TSC offset values, we can
calculate the host TSC value for each guest events from the TSC offset and
the event TSC value. The host TSC values of the guest events are used when we
want to merge trace data of guests and the host in chronological order.
(Note: the trace_clock of both the host and the guest must be set x86-tsc in
this case)
This tracepoint also records vcpu_id which can be used to merge trace data for
SMP guests. A merge tool will read TSC offset for each vcpu, then the tool
converts guest TSC values to host TSC values for each vcpu.
TSC offset is stored in the VMCS by vmx_write_tsc_offset() or
vmx_adjust_tsc_offset(). KVM executes the former function when a guest boots.
The latter function is executed when kvm clock is updated. Only host can read
TSC offset value from VMCS, so a host needs to output TSC offset value
when TSC offset is changed.
Since the TSC offset is not often changed, it could be overwritten by other
frequent events while tracing. To avoid that, I recommend to use a special
instance for getting this event:
1. set a instance before booting a guest
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
# mkdir tsc_offset
# cd tsc_offset
# echo x86-tsc > trace_clock
# echo 1 > events/kvm/kvm_write_tsc_offset/enable
2. boot a guest

Without this information, users will just see unexpected performance
problems and there is little chance we will get good reports from them:
note that mmio generation is increased even when we just start, or stop,
dirty logging for some memory slot, in which case users cannot expect
all shadow pages to be zapped.
printk_ratelimited() is used for this taking into account the problems
that we can see the information many times when we start multiple VMs
and guests can trigger this by reading ROM in a loop for example.

This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock
KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created
When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/arc uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. Currently arc does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

They are the base values in load balance, update them with rq runnable

naturally.
We also try to include the blocked_load_avg as cpu load in balancing,
but that cause kbuild performance drop 6% on every Intel machine, and
aim7/oltp drop on some of 4 CPU sockets machines.
Or only add blocked_load_avg into get_rq_runable_load, hackbench still

The woken migrated task will __synchronize_entity_decay(se); in

update_entity_load_avg, in order to avoid sleep time is updated twice
for se.avg.load_avg_contrib in both __syncchronize and
update_entity_load_avg.
However if the sleeping task is woken up from the same cpu, it miss
the last_runnable_update before update_entity_load_avg(se, 0, 1), then
the sleep time was used twice in both functions. So we need to remove
the double sleep time accounting.

We need to initialize the se.avg.{decay_count, load_avg_contrib} for a
new forked task. Otherwise random values of above variables cause a
mess when a new task is enqueued:
enqueue_task_fair
enqueue_entity
enqueue_entity_load_avg
and make fork balancing imbalance due to incorrect load_avg_contrib.
Further more, Morten Rasmussen notice some tasks were not launched at
once after created. So Paul and Peter suggest giving a start value for
new task runnable avg time same as sched_slice().
