First, remove unused macro and rs_multiport_struct structure. Nobody
uses them at all.
Further, the 2 drivers (they are below) which use the rest of
structures from serialP.h (async_struct and serial_state) do not use
all the members. Remove the members:
* which are unused or
* which are only initialized and never used for something real.
Everybody should avoid the structures with a looong distance.
Finally, remove the ALPHA kludge MCR quirks. They are 1:1 copy from
8250.h. No need to redefine them here.
The 2 promised users of the structures:
arch/ia64/hp/sim/simserial.c
drivers/tty/amiserial.c

If the timer ticks while we are holding the spinlock, the system
deadlocks. It is due to synchronous del_timer.

Checking if tty->index is in bounds is not needed. The tty has the
index set in the initial open. This is done in get_tty_driver. And it
can be only in interval <0,driver->num).
So remove the tests which check exactly this interval. Some are
left untouched as they check against the current backing device count.
(Leaving apart that the check is racy in most of the cases.)

Shared MSRs (MSR_*STAR and related) are stored in both vmx->guest_msrs
and in the CPU registers, but vmx_set_msr() only updated memory. Prior
to 46199f33c2953, this didn't matter, since we called vmx_load_host_state(),
which scheduled a vmx_save_host_state(), which re-synchronized the CPU
state, but now we don't, so the CPU state will not be synchronized until
the next exit to host userspace. This mostly affects nested vmx workloads,
which play with these MSRs a lot.
Fix by loading the MSR eagerly.

PCI 2.3 allows to generically disable IRQ sources at device level. This
enables us to share legacy IRQs of such devices with other host devices
when passing them to a guest.
The new IRQ sharing feature introduced here is optional, user space has
to request it explicitly. Moreover, user space can inform us about its
view of PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE so that we can avoid unmasking the
interrupt and signaling it if the guest masked it via the virtualized
PCI config space.

If some vcpus are created before KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, then
irqchip_in_kernel() and vcpu->arch.apic will be inconsistent, leading
to potential NULL pointer dereferences.
Fix by:
- ensuring that no vcpus are installed when KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is called
- ensuring that a vcpu has an apic if it is installed after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
This is somewhat long winded because vcpu->arch.apic is created without
kvm->lock held.

On reboot the guest sends in smp_send_stop() a sigp stop to all CPUs
except for current CPU. Then the guest switches to the IPL cpu by
sending a restart to the IPL CPU, followed by a sigp stop to the
current cpu. Since restart is handled by userspace it's possible that
the restart is delivered before the old stop. This means that the IPL
CPU isn't restarted and we have no running CPUs. So let's make sure
that there is no stop action pending when we do the restart.

This patch fixes a race introduced by:
commit 95d4c16ce78cb6b7549a09159c409d52ddd18dae
KVM: Optimize dirty logging by rmap_write_protect()
During protecting pages for dirty logging, other threads may also try
to protect a page in mmu_sync_children() or kvm_mmu_get_page().
In such a case, because get_dirty_log releases mmu_lock before flushing
TLB's, the following race condition can happen:
A (get_dirty_log) B (another thread)
lock(mmu_lock)
clear pte.w
unlock(mmu_lock)
lock(mmu_lock)
pte.w is already cleared
unlock(mmu_lock)
skip TLB flush
return
...
TLB flush
Though thread B assumes the page has already been protected when it
returns, the remaining TLB entry will break that assumption.
This patch fixes this problem by making get_dirty_log hold the mmu_lock
until it flushes the TLB's.

During a host suspend, TSC may go backwards, which KVM interprets
as an unstable TSC. Technically, KVM should not be marking the
TSC unstable, which causes the TSC clocksource to go bad, but we
need to be adjusting the TSC offsets in such a case.
Dealing with this issue is a little tricky as the only place we
can reliably do it is before much of the timekeeping infrastructure
is up and running. On top of this, we are not in a KVM thread
context, so we may not be able to safely access VCPU fields.
Instead, we compute our best known hardware offset at power-up and
stash it to be applied to all VCPUs when they actually start running.

The variable last_host_tsc was removed from upstream code. I am adding
it back for two reasons. First, it is unnecessary to use guest TSC
computation to conclude information about the host TSC. The guest may
set the TSC backwards (this case handled by the previous patch), but
the computation of guest TSC (and fetching an MSR) is significanlty more
work and complexity than simply reading the hardware counter. In addition,
we don't actually need the guest TSC for any part of the computation,
by always recomputing the offset, we can eliminate the need to deal with
the current offset and any scaling factors that may apply.
The second reason is that later on, we are going to be using the host
TSC value to restore TSC offsets after a host S4 suspend, so we need to
be reading the host values, not the guest values here.

The variable last_guest_tsc was being used as an ad-hoc indicator
that guest TSC has been initialized and recorded correctly. However,
it may not have been, it could be that guest TSC has been set to some
large value, the back to a small value (by, say, a software reboot).
This defeats the logic and causes KVM to falsely assume that the
guest TSC has gone backwards, marking the host TSC unstable, which
is undesirable behavior.
In addition, rather than try to compute an offset adjustment for the
TSC on unstable platforms, just recompute the whole offset. This
allows us to get rid of one callsite for adjust_tsc_offset, which
is problematic because the units it takes are in guest units, but
here, the computation was originally being done in host units.
Doing this, and also recording last_guest_tsc when the TSC is written
allow us to remove the tricky logic which depended on last_guest_tsc
being zero to indicate a reset of uninitialized value.
Instead, we now have the guarantee that the guest TSC offset is
always at least something which will get us last_guest_tsc.

Currently, when the TSC is written by the guest, the variable
ns is updated to force the current write to appear to have taken
place at the time of the first write in this sync phase. This
leaves a cliff at the end of the match window where updates will
fall of the end. There are two scenarios where this can be a
problem in practe - first, on a system with a large number of
VCPUs, the sync period may last for an extended period of time.
The second way this can happen is if the VM reboots very rapidly
and we catch a VCPU TSC synchronization just around the edge.
We may be unaware of the reboot, and thus the first VCPU might
synchronize with an old set of the timer (at, say 0.97 seconds
ago, when first powered on). The second VCPU can come in 0.04
seconds later to try to synchronize, but it misses the window
because it is just over the threshold.
Instead, stop doing this artificial setback of the ns variable
and just update it with every write of the TSC.
It may be observed that doing so causes values computed by
compute_guest_tsc to diverge slightly across CPUs - note that
the last_tsc_ns and last_tsc_write variable are used here, and
now they last_tsc_ns will be different for each VCPU, reflecting
the actual time of the update.
However, compute_guest_tsc is used only for guests which already
have TSC stability issues, and further, note that the previous
patch has caused last_tsc_write to be incremented by the difference
in nanoseconds, converted back into guest cycles. As such, only
boundary rounding errors should be visible, which given the
resolution in nanoseconds, is going to only be a few cycles and
only visible in cross-CPU consistency tests. The problem can be
fixed by adding a new set of variables to track the start offset
and start write value for the current sync cycle.

There are a few improvements that can be made to the TSC offset
matching code. First, we don't need to call the 128-bit multiply
(especially on a constant number), the code works much nicer to
do computation in nanosecond units.
Second, the way everything is setup with software TSC rate scaling,
we currently have per-cpu rates. Obviously this isn't too desirable
to use in practice, but if for some reason we do change the rate of
all VCPUs at runtime, then reset the TSCs, we will only want to
match offsets for VCPUs running at the same rate.
Finally, for the case where we have an unstable host TSC, but
rate scaling is being done in hardware, we should call the platform
code to compute the TSC offset, so the math is reorganized to recompute
the base instead, then transform the base into an offset using the
existing API.
