The majority of architectures implement ext2 atomic bitops as
test_and_{set,clear}_bit() without spinlock.
This adds this type of generic implementation in ext2-atomic-setbit.h and
use it wherever possible.

The idea is from Avi:
| Maybe it's time to kill off bypass_guest_pf=1. It's not as effective as

If the page fault is caused by mmio, we can cache the mmio info, later, we do
not need to walk guest page table and quickly know it is a mmio fault while we

This patch implements the kvm bits of the steal time infrastructure.
The most important part of it, is the steal time clock. It is an
continuous clock that shows the accumulated amount of steal time
since vcpu creation. It is supposed to survive cpu offlining/onlining.

This patch moves the in-tree architectures that were using the 'generic'
delay.h over to using the header file in asm-generic.
This is not done using the generic-y mechanism as none of these arch's
have started using that mechanism yet. This is a trivial change to make
later when the arch begins using generic-y.
Note the subtle change to the avr32 and SH architectures where the argument
to __const_udelay was previously using the rounded down constant value
instead of the rounded up value.

With CPU hotplug, there is a theoretical race between other CMOS
(namely RTC) accesses and those done in the SMP secondary
processor bringup path.
I am unware of the problem having been noticed by anyone in practice,
but it would very likely be rather spurious and very hard to reproduce.
So to be on the safe side, acquire rtc_lock around those accesses.

With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there
is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing
the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more
CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the
inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough).
A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new
value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to
nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue.
Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a
little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less
nesting would suffice.
However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more
nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible
currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened
to 64 bits.

Rather than having two functionally identical implementations
for 32- and 64-bit configurations, extend the existing assembly
abstractions enough to fold the two rwlock implementations into

Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function
and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call
we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us
to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks
of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only.
The main idea remains the same though -- to allow
nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously.
Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic
PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary
event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some
additional bits set inside ESCR register changing
the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore
that alias event will give the same result.
P.S. Thanks a huge to Don and Steven for for testing
and early review.

Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0d25), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo,
Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7b40), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has
been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS.
However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably
because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems...
Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8).
As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its
default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users
care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency.
While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default
operating point is "normal" mode...
Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot.
x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot,
should the user have a different preference.

This patch adds a function pointer in one of the many paravirt_ops
structs, to allow guests to register a steal time function. Besides
a steal time function, we also declare two jump_labels. They will be
used to allow the steal time code to be easily bypassed when not
in use.

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.
This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.
Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time
This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

The vread field was bloating struct clocksource everywhere except
x86_64, and I want to change the way this works on x86_64, so let's
split it out into per-arch data.

This save a few bytes on x86-64 and means that future patches can
apply alternatives to unrelocated code.

Three fixes here:
- Send SIGSEGV if called from compat code or with a funny CS.
- Don't BUG on impossible addresses.
- Add a missing local_irq_disable.
This patch also removes an unused variable.

DISCONTIGMEM on x86-32 implements pfn -> nid mapping similarly to
SPARSEMEM; however, it calls each mapping unit ELEMENT instead of
SECTION. This patch renames it to SECTION so that PAGES_PER_SECTION
is valid for both DISCONTIGMEM and SPARSEMEM. This will be used by
the next patch to implement mapping granularity check.
This patch is trivial constant rename.

Somehow we got into a situation where the __this_cpu_xchg() operations were
not defined in the same way as this_cpu_xchg() and friends. I had some build
failures under 32 bit that were addressed by these fixes.

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest information
about how much time was spent running other processes outside the VM.
This is per-vcpu, and using the kvmclock structure for that is an abuse
we decided not to make.
In this patchset, I am introducing a new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, that
holds the memory area address containing information about steal time
This patch contains the headers for it. I am keeping it separate to facilitate
backports to people who wants to backport the kernel part but not the
hypervisor, or the other way around.

This patch is simple, put in a different commit so it can be more easily
shared between guest and hypervisor. It just defines a named constant
to indicate the enable bit for KVM-specific MSRs.

When CR0.WP=0, we sometimes map user pages as kernel pages (to allow
the kernel to write to them). Unfortunately this also allows the kernel
to fetch from these pages, even if CR4.SMEP is set.
Adjust for this by also setting NX on the spte in these circumstances.
