Both x86-32 and x86-64 with 32-bit compat use ARCH_DLINFO_IA32,
which defines two saved_auxv entries. But system.h only defines
AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH as 2 for CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION, not for
CONFIG_X86_32. Fix that.

Current kvm wallclock does not consider the total_sleep_time which could cause

this issue by counting total_sleep_time to get the correct host boot time.

We cannot assume that because hwc->idx == assign[i], we can avoid
reprogramming the counter in hw_perf_enable().
The event may have been scheduled out and another event may have been
programmed into this counter. Thus, we need a more robust way of
verifying if the counter still contains config/data related to an event.
This patch adds a generation number to each counter on each cpu. Using
this mechanism we can verify reliabilty whether the content of a counter
corresponds to an event.

Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text
address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides
checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace.
Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they
should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text
modifier, like kprobes.
This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems
which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers
should avoid those.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the
kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw
breakpoint reservations.
The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it
can start the kernel running from an invalid context.
A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get
created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint
reservations.
The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently
processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is
improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is
warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the
hardware breakpoint reservations.
Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it
will be a system wide reservation.

In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the
performance event counters. The hw_breakpoint_handler() now
consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb
arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction
with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level
functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and
deal with hw breakpoint reservations.
The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug
anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the
hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw
breakpoint while kgdb is active.
During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will
pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb
will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw
breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API
does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available,
on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint
might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The
intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of
hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the
kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what
restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint
constraints will be dealt with in a future patch.
While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call
arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint()
to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints.
The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool
of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but
neither knows about future reservations for the available hw
breakpoint slots.

online path
Lowest priority delivery of logical flat mode is broken on some systems,
such that even when IO-APIC RTE says deliver the interrupt to a particular CPU,
interrupt subsystem delivers the interrupt to totally different CPU.
For example, this behavior was observed on a P4 based system with SiS chipset
which was reported by Li Zefan. We have been handling this kind of behavior by
making sure that in logical flat mode, we assign the same vector to irq
mappings on all the 8 possible logical cpu's.
But we have been doing this initial assignment (__setup_vector_irq()) a little
late (before which interrupts were already enabled for a short duration).
Move the __setup_vector_irq() before the first irq enable point in the
cpu online path to avoid the issue of not handling some interrupts that
wrongly hit the cpu which is still coming online.

In the recent change of not reserving IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all
cpu's, we start with irq 0..15 getting directed to (and handled on) cpu-0.
In the logical flat mode, once the AP's are online (and before irqbalance
comes into picture), kernel intends to handle these IRQ's on any cpu (as the
logical flat mode allows to specify multiple cpu's for the irq destination and
the chipset based routing can deliver to the interrupt to any one of
the specified cpu's). This was broken with our recent change, which was ending
up using only cpu 0 as the destination, even when the kernel was specifying to
use all online cpu's for the logical flat mode case.
Fix this by updating vector allocation domain (cfg->domain) for legacy irqs,
when the IO-APIC handles them.

Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality
setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.
And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
for a 32-bit compat process.
Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.
Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.
This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

Merge reason: We want to queue up a dependent patch. Also update to
later -rc's.

At enable time the counter might still have a ->idx pointing to
a previously occupied location that might now be taken by
another event. Resetting the counter at that location with data
from this event will destroy the other counter's count.

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.

Put the recursion avoidance code in the generic hook instead of
replicating it in each implementation.

Since constraints are specified on the event number, not number
and unit mask shorten the constraint masks so that we'll
actually match something.

Share the meat of the x86_pmu_disable() code with hw_perf_enable().
Also remove the barrier() from that code, since I could not convince
myself we actually need it.
