8efcbab674 paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
Implement a version of the old spinlock algorithm, in which everyone
spins waiting for a lock byte.  In order to be compatible with the
ticket-lock's use of a zero initializer, this uses the convention of
'0' for unlocked and '1' for locked.

This algorithm is much better than ticket locks in a virtual
envionment, because it doesn't interact badly with the vcpu scheduler.
If there are multiple vcpus spinning on a lock and the lock is
released, the next vcpu to be scheduled will take the lock, rather
than cycling around until the next ticketed vcpu gets it.

To use this, you must call paravirt_use_bytelocks() very early, before
any spinlocks have been taken.

74d4affde8 x86/paravirt: add hooks for spinlock operations
Ticket spinlocks have absolutely ghastly worst-case performance
characteristics in a virtual environment.  If there is any contention
for physical CPUs (ie, there are more runnable vcpus than cpus), then
ticket locks can cause the system to end up spending 90+% of its time
spinning.

The problem is that (v)cpus waiting on a ticket spinlock will be
granted access to the lock in strict order they got their tickets.  If
the hypervisor scheduler doesn't give the vcpus time in that order,
they will burn timeslices waiting for the scheduler to give the right
vcpu some time.  In the worst case it could take O(n^2) vcpu scheduler
timeslices for everyone waiting on the lock to get it, not counting
new cpus trying to take the lock while the log-jam is sorted out.

These hooks allow a paravirt backend to replace the spinlock
implementation.

At the very least, this could revert the implementation back to the
old lock algorithm, which allows the next scheduled vcpu to take the
lock, and has basically fairly good performance.

It also allows the spinlocks to take advantages of the hypervisor
features to make locks more efficient (spin and block, for example).

The cost to native execution is an extra direct call when using a
spinlock function.  There's no overhead if CONFIG_PARAVIRT is turned
off.

The lock structure is fixed at a single "unsigned int", initialized to
zero, but the spinlock implementation can use it as it wishes.

Thanks to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from
Spinning Around" for pointing out this problem.

1b374e4d6f x64, x2apic/intr-remap: basic apic ops support
Introduce basic apic operations which handle the apic programming. This
will be used later to introduce another specific operations for x2apic.

For the perfomance critial accesses like IPI's, EOI etc, we use the
native operations as they are already referenced by different
indirections like genapic, irq_chip etc.

64bit Paravirt ops can also define their apic operations accordingly.

d75cd22fdd x86/paravirt: split sysret and sysexit
Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with
different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least
within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD
system).

sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of
    any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts.

sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable
    interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs

a15af1c9ea x86/paravirt: add pte_flags to just get pte flags
Add pte_flags() to extract the flags from a pte.  This is a special
case of pte_val() which is only guaranteed to return the pte's flags
correctly; the page number may be corrupted or missing.

The intent is to allow paravirt implementations to return pte flags
without having to do any translation of the page number (most notably,
Xen).
