Profile_pc was broken when using paravirtualization because the
assumption the kernel was running at CPL 0 was violated, causing
bad logic to read a random value off the stack.
The only way to be in kernel lock functions is to be in kernel
code, so validate that assumption explicitly by checking the CS
value. We don't want to be fooled by BIOS / APM segments and
try to read those stacks, so only match KERNEL_CS.
I moved some stuff in segment.h to make it prettier.

VMI timer code. It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code. The backend
timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
hypervisors as well. So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

Add VMI SMP boot hook. We emulate a regular boot sequence and use the same
APIC IPI initiation, we just poke magic values to load into the CPU state when
the startup IPI is received, rather than having to jump through a real mode
trampoline.
This is all that was needed to get SMP to work.

The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.
To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.

The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page
tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky. We need to
clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to
correctly copy the shadow.
We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as
they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which
makes shadowing them rather simple.
For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook
point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page,
and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool.
Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also
uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or
released.

ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK is used by x86_64 arch . This arch needs to place a
read only copy of xtime_lock into vsyscall page. This read only copy is
named __xtime_lock, and xtime_lock is defined in
arch/x86_64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S as an alias. So the declaration of
xtime_lock in kernel/timer.c was guarded by ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK define,

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).
On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.
This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

Remove the statically allocated memory to NUMA node hash map in favor of a
dynamically allocated memory to node hash map (it is cache aligned).
This patch has the nice side effect in that it allows the hash map to grow
for systems with large amounts of memory (256GB - 1TB), but suffer from
having small PCI space tacked onto the boot node (which is somewhere
between 192MB to 512MB on the ES7000).

This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining.
This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth
in some case.
The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the
CPU again and it's better to not pollute the cache with it. Also it is a little
faster.

RFC3530 section 3.1.1 states an NFSv4 client MUST NOT send a request
twice on the same connection unless it is the NULL procedure. Section
3.1.1 suggests that the client should disconnect and reconnect if it
wants to retry a request.
Implement this by adding an rpc_clnt flag that an ULP can use to
specify that the underlying transport should be disconnected on a
major timeout. The NFSv4 client asserts this new flag, and requests
no retries after a minor retransmit timeout.
Note that disconnecting on a retransmit is in general not safe to do
if the RPC client does not reuse the TCP port number when reconnecting.

This converts the lazy dcache handling to the model described in
Documentation/cachetlb.txt and drops the ptep_get_and_clear() hacks
used for the aliasing dcaches on SH-4 and SH7705 in 32kB mode. As a
bonus, this slightly cuts down on the cache flushing frequency.
With that and the PTEA handling out of the way, the update_mmu_cache()
implementations can be consolidated, and we no longer have to worry
about which configuration the cache is in for the SH7705 case.
And finally, explicitly disable the lazy writeback on SMP (SH-4A).

This rips out most of the needlessly complicated sh_bios and kgdb
trap handling, and forces it all through a common fast dispatch path.
As more debug traps are inserted, it's important to keep them in sync
for all of the parts, not just SH-3/4.
As the SH-2 parts are unable to do traps in the >= 0x40 range, we
restrict the debug traps to the 0x30-0x3f range on all parts, and
also bump the kgdb breakpoint trap down in to this range (from 0xff
to 0x3c) so it's possible to use for nommu.
Optionally, this table can be padded out to catch spurious traps for
SH-3/4, but we don't do that yet..

The following patchset allows a host with running virtual machines to be

that this is orthogonal to suspending and resuming an individual guest to a
file.
A side effect of implementing suspend/resume is that cpu hotplug is now
supported. This should please the owners of big iron.
This patch:
KVM wants the cpu hotplug notifications, both for cpu hotplug itself, but more
commonly for host suspend/resume.
In order to avoid extensive #ifdefs, provide stubs when CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG is
not defined.
In all, we have four cases:
- UP: register and unregister stubbed out
- SMP+hotplug: full register and unregister
- SMP, no hotplug, core: register as __init, unregister stubbed
(cpus are brought up during core initialization)
- SMP, no hotplug, module: register and unregister stubbed out
(cpus cannot be brought up during module lifetime)
