23930f9521 KVM: x86: Enable NMI Watchdog via in-kernel PIT source
LINT0 of the LAPIC can be used to route PIT events as NMI watchdog ticks
into the guest. This patch aligns the in-kernel irqchip emulation with
the user space irqchip with already supports this feature. The trick is
to route PIT interrupts to all LAPIC's LVT0 lines.

Rebased and slightly polished patch originally posted by Sheng Yang.

f460ee43e2 KVM: VMX: refactor IRQ and NMI window enabling
do_interrupt_requests and vmx_intr_assist go different way for
achieving the same: enabling the nmi/irq window start notification.
Unify their code over enable_{irq|nmi}_window, get rid of a redundant
call to enable_intr_window instead of direct enable_nmi_window
invocation and unroll enable_intr_window for both in-kernel and user
space irq injection accordingly.

33f089ca5a KVM: VMX: refactor/fix IRQ and NMI injectability determination
There are currently two ways in VMX to check if an IRQ or NMI can be
injected:
 - vmx_{nmi|irq}_enabled and
 - vcpu.arch.{nmi|interrupt}_window_open.
Even worse, one test (at the end of vmx_vcpu_run) uses an inconsistent,
likely incorrect logic.

This patch consolidates and unifies the tests over
{nmi|interrupt}_window_open as cache + vmx_update_window_states
for updating the cache content.

60637aacfd KVM: VMX: Support for NMI task gates
Properly set GUEST_INTR_STATE_NMI and reset nmi_injected when a
task-switch vmexit happened due to a task gate being used for handling
NMIs. Also avoid the false warning about valid vectoring info in
kvm_handle_exit.

a26bf12afb KVM: VMX: include all IRQ window exits in statistics
irq_window_exits only tracks IRQ window exits due to user space
requests, nmi_window_exits include all exits. The latter makes more
sense, so let's adjust irq_window_exits accounting.

fc5243d98a [S390] arch_setup_additional_pages arguments
arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.

What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

0ca59dd948 tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3
Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime

On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state.
On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but
it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data
is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a
crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime.

Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too.

Changes on v2:

We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the
current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing.

This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where
the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper
function used at this stage.

40f15ad8aa x86: disable X86_PTRACE_BTS
there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:

  config X86_PTRACE_BTS
  bool "Branch Trace Store"

it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.

Fixes exist but they came too late:

  c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
  bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling

and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

c1c15b65ec x86: PAT: fix address types in track_pfn_vma_new()
Impact: cleanup, fix warning

This warning:

 arch/x86/mm/pat.c: In function track_pfn_vma_copy:
 arch/x86/mm/pat.c:701: warning: passing argument 5 of follow_phys from incompatible pointer type

Triggers because physical addresses are resource_size_t, not u64.

This really matters when calling an interface like follow_phys() which
takes a pointer to a physical address -- although on x86, being
littleendian, it would generally work anyway as long as the memory region
wasn't completely uninitialized.

adf77bac05 x86: prioritize the FPU traps for the error code
In the case of multiple FPU errors, prioritize the error codes,
instead of returning __SI_FAULT, which ends up pushing a 0 as the
error code to userspace, a POSIX violation.

For i386, we will simply return if there are no errors at all; for
x86-64 this is probably a "can't happen" (and the code should be
unified), but for this patch, return __SI_FAULT|SI_KERNEL if this ever
happens.

280a9ca5d0 x86: fix resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Impact: fix deadlock

This is in response to the following bug report:

Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100
Subject         : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Submitter       : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de>
Date            : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old)
Handled-By      : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com>

[ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ]

I think I might have a logical explanation why the system:

  (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100)

might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time.

(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is
taken;

(2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer
ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd
think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should
be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem
logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with
memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of
the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a
deadlock.

Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same
version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this
issue has never popped up.

I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the
2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock...").

In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.
