[KVM maintainers:
The underlying support for this is in perf/core now. So please merge
this patch into the KVM tree.]
This is not arch perfmon, but older CPUs will just ignore it. This makes
it possible to do at least some TSX measurements from a KVM guest
v2: Various fixes to address review feedback
v3: Ignore the bits when no CPUID. No #GP. Force raw events with TSX bits.
v4: Use reserved bits for #GP
v5: Remove obsolete argument

Commit 7b6d864b48d9 (reboot: arm: change reboot_mode to use enum
reboot_mode) changed the way reboot is handled on arm, which has a
direct impact on arm64 as we share the reset driver on the VE platform.
The obvious fix is to move arm64 to use the same infrastructure.

On arm64, cache maintenance faults appear as data aborts with the CM
bit set in the ESR. The WnR bit, usually used to distinguish between
faulting loads and stores, always reads as 1 and (slightly confusingly)
the instructions are treated as reads by the architecture.
This patch fixes our fault handling code to treat cache maintenance
faults in the same way as loads.

During the pruning of the device tree octeon_fdt_pip_iface() is called
for each PIP interface and every port up to the port count is removed
from the device tree. However, the count was set to the return value of
cvmx_helper_interface_enumerate() which doesn't actually return the
count but just returns zero on success. This effectively removed *all*
ports from the tree.
Use cvmx_helper_ports_on_interface() instead to fix this. This
successfully restores the 3 ports of my ERLite-3 and fixes the "kernel
assigns random MAC addresses" issue.

Make KVM_GUEST depend on BROKEN_ON_SMP so that it cannot be enabled with
SMP.
SMP kernels use ll/sc instructions for an atomic section in the tlb fill
handler, with a tlbp instruction contained in the middle. This cannot be
emulated with trap & emulate KVM because the tlbp instruction traps and
the eret to return to the guest code clears the LLbit which makes the sc
instruction always fail.

Commit 4df715aa ["MIPS: BMIPS: support booting from physical CPU other
than 0"] introduced a thinko which will prevents slave CPUs from being
released from reset on systems where we boot from TP0. The problem is
that we are checking whether the slave CPU logical CPU map is 0, which
is never true for systems booting from TP0, so we do not release the
slave TP from reset and we are just stuck. Fix this by properly checking
that the CPU we intend to boot really is the physical slave CPU (logical
and physical value being 1).

Use text_poke_bp() for optimizing kprobes instead of

Pull phase two of __cpuinit removal from Paul Gortmaker:
"With the __cpuinit infrastructure removed earlier, this group of
commits only removes the function/data tagging that was done with the
various (now no-op) __cpuinit related prefixes.
Now that the dust has settled with yesterday's v3.11-rc1, there
hopefully shouldn't be any new users leaking back in tree, but I think
we can leave the harmless no-op stubs there for a release as a
courtesy to those who still have out of tree stuff and weren't paying
attention.
Although the commits are against the recent tag to allow for minor
context refreshes for things like yesterday's v3.11-rc1~ slab content,
the patches have been largely unchanged for weeks, aside from such
trivial updates.
For detail junkies, the largely boring and mostly irrelevant history
of the patches can be viewed at:

Currently, fast page fault incorrectly tries to fix mmio page fault when
the generation number is invalid (spte.gen != kvm.gen). It then returns
to guest to retry the fault since it sees the last spte is nonpresent.
This causes an infinite loop.
Since fast page fault only works for direct mmu, the issue exists when
1) tdp is enabled. It is only triggered only on AMD host since on Intel host
the mmio page fault is recognized as ept-misconfig whose handler call
fault-page path with error_code = 0
2) guest paging is disabled. Under this case, the issue is hardly discovered
since paging disable is short-lived and the sptes will be invalid after
memslot changed for 150 times
Fix it by filtering out MMIO page faults in page_fault_can_be_fast.

Introduce a method for run-time instruction patching on a live SMP kernel
based on int3 breakpoint, completely avoiding the need for stop_machine().
The way this is achieved:
- add a int3 trap to the address that will be patched
- sync cores
- update all but the first byte of the patched range
- sync cores
- replace the first byte (int3) by the first byte of
replacing opcode
- sync cores
According to
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1001.1/01530.html
synchronization after replacing "all but first" instructions should not
be necessary (on Intel hardware), as the syncing after the subsequent
patching of the first byte provides enough safety.
But there's not only Intel HW out there, and we'd rather be on a safe
side.
If any CPU instruction execution would collide with the patching,
it'd be trapped by the int3 breakpoint and redirected to the provided
"handler" (which would typically mean just skipping over the patched
region, acting as "nop" has been there, in case we are doing nop -> jump
and jump -> nop transitions).
Ftrace has been using this very technique since 08d636b ("ftrace/x86:
Have arch x86_64 use breakpoints instead of stop machine") for ages
already, and jump labels are another obvious potential user of this.

Change the bitops operation to be naturally "long", i.e. 63 bits on
the 64-bit kernel. Additional bugs are likely to crop up in the
future.
We already have bugs which machines with > 16 TiB of memory in a
single node, as can happen if memory is interleaved. The x86 bitop
operations take a signed index, so using an unsigned type is not an
option.
Jim Kukunas measured the effect of this patch on kernel size: it adds
2779 bytes to the allyesconfig kernel. Some of that probably could be
elided by replacing the inline functions with macros which select the
32-bit type if the index is a 32-bit value, something like:
In that case we could also use "Jr" constraints for the 64-bit
version.
However, this would more than double the amount of code for a
relatively small gain.
Note that we can't use ilog2() for _BITOPS_LONG_SHIFT, as that causes
a recursive header inclusion problem.
The change to constant_test_bit() should both generate better code and
give correct result for negative bit indicies. As previously written
the compiler had to generate extra code to create the proper wrong
result for negative values.

Since the IDT is referenced from a fixmap, make sure it is page aligned.
Merge with 32-bit one, since it was already aligned to deal with F00F
bug. Since bss is cleared before IDT setup, it can live there. This also
moves the other *_idt_table variables into common locations.
This avoids the risk of the IDT ever being moved in the bss and having
the mapping be offset, resulting in calling incorrect handlers. In the
current upstream kernel this is not a manifested bug, but heavily patched
kernels (such as those using the PaX patch series) did encounter this bug.
The tables other than idt_table technically do not need to be page
aligned, at least not at the current time, but using a common
declaration avoids mistakes. On 64 bits the table is exactly one page
long, anyway.
