The variable box should not be declared as static.
This could probably cause crashes with sufficiently parallel

We already have a flag word to indicate the existence of MISC_ENABLES,
so use the same flag word to indicate existence of cr4 and EFER, and
always restore them if they exist. That way if something passes a
nonzero value when the value *should* be zero, we will still
initialize it.

%cr4 is supposed to reflect a set of features into which the operating
system is opting in. If the BIOS or bootloader leaks bits here, this
is not desirable. Consider a bootloader passing in %cr4.pae set to a
legacy paging kernel, for example -- it will not have any immediate
effect, but the kernel would crash when turning paging on.
A similar argument applies to %eflags, and since we have to look for
%eflags.id being settable we can use a sequence which clears %eflags
as a side effect.
Note that we already do this for x86-64.

do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception
exit. But at that time the exception has already called
rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit().
Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call
rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call
back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are
going to userspace from there.
This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state
in x86-64.

Since 'cpu == -1' in cpumask_next() is legal, no need to handle
'*pos == 0' specially.
About the comments:
/* just in case, cpu 0 is not the first */

approach from https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/5/585.

There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other
archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime()
if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working.
Move it to the general option and let the user choose between
it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting.
Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained
irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground
between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull a Xen fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"It is a bug-fix when we run the initial PV guest on a AMD K8 machine
and have CONFIG_AMD_NUMA enabled and detect the NUMA topology from the
Northbridge.
We end up in the situation where the initial domain gets too much
information and gets confused and crashes - the fix is to restrict the
domain to get the information - and we do it by just disabling NUMA on
the PV guest (the hypervisor is still able to do its proper NUMA
allocations of guests).
It is OK to disable the PV guest from accessing NUMA data as right now
we do not inject any NUMA node information to the PV guests. When we
do get to that point, then this patch will have to be reverted."
* Disable PV NUMA support as we do not do anything with it (yet) and it
can cause bootup crashes on certain AMD machines.

CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.
This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.
This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.
Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.
For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.
Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.
This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.
This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.
NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
patches are not yet present.
In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:
"we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).
This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.
This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)
We have this dump then:

If arch/x86/kernel/cpuid.c is a module, a CPU might offline or online
between the for_each_online_cpu() loop and the call to
register_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_init or the call to
unregister_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_exit. The potential races can
lead to leaks/duplicates, attempts to destroy non-existant devices, or
random pointer dereferences.
For example, in cpuid_exit if:
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
cpuid_device_destroy(cpu);
class_destroy(cpuid_class);
__unregister_chrdev(CPUID_MAJOR, 0, NR_CPUS, "cpu/cpuid");
<----- CPU onlines
unregister_hotcpu_notifier(&cpuid_class_cpu_notifier);
the hotcpu notifier will attempt to create a device for the
cpuid_class, which the module already destroyed.
This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier or
unregister_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus.
Tested on a VM.

If arch/x86/kernel/msr.c is a module, a CPU might offline or online
between the for_each_online_cpu(i) loop and the call to
register_hotcpu_notifier in msr_init or the call to
unregister_hotcpu_notifier in msr_exit. The potential races can lead
to leaks/duplicates, attempts to destroy non-existant devices, or
random pointer dereferences.
For example, in msr_init if:
for_each_online_cpu(i) {
err = msr_device_create(i);
if (err != 0)
goto out_class;
}
<----- CPU offlines
register_hotcpu_notifier(&msr_class_cpu_notifier);
and the CPU never onlines before msr_exit, then the module will never
call msr_device_destroy for the associated CPU.
This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier or
unregister_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus.

If we reset a vcpu on INIT, we so far overwrote dr7 as provided by
KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG, and we also cleared switch_db_regs unconditionally.
Fix this by saving the dr7 used for guest debugging and calculating the
effective register value as well as switch_db_regs on any potential
change. This will change to focus of the set_guest_debug vendor op to
update_dp_bp_intercept.
Found while trying to stop on start_secondary.

To emulate level triggered interrupts, add a resample option to
KVM_IRQFD. When specified, a new resamplefd is provided that notifies
the user when the irqchip has been resampled by the VM. This may, for
instance, indicate an EOI. Also in this mode, posting of an interrupt
through an irqfd only asserts the interrupt. On resampling, the
interrupt is automatically de-asserted prior to user notification.
This enables level triggered interrupts to be posted and re-enabled
from vfio with no userspace intervention.
All resampling irqfds can make use of a single irq source ID, so we
reserve a new one for this interface.

Preemption is disabled between kernel_fpu_begin/end() and as such
it is not a good idea to use these routines in kvm_load/put_guest_fpu()
which can be very far apart.
kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() routines are already called with
preemption disabled and KVM already uses the preempt notifier to save
the guest fpu state using kvm_put_guest_fpu().
So introduce __kernel_fpu_begin/end() routines which don't touch
preemption and use them instead of kernel_fpu_begin/end()
for KVM's use model of saving/restoring guest FPU state.
Also with this change (and with eagerFPU model), fix the host cr0.TS vm-exit
state in the case of VMX. For eagerFPU case, host cr0.TS is always clear.
So no need to worry about it. For the traditional lazyFPU restore case,
change the cr0.TS bit for the host state during vm-exit to be always clear
and cr0.TS bit is set in the __vmx_load_host_state() when the FPU
(guest FPU or the host task's FPU) state is not active. This ensures
that the host/guest FPU state is properly saved, restored
during context-switch and with interrupts (using irq_fpu_usable()) not
stomping on the active FPU state.

Signal handling contains a bunch of accesses to individual user space
items, which causes an excessive number of STAC and CLAC
instructions. Instead, let get/put_user_try ... get/put_user_catch()
contain the STAC and CLAC instructions.
This means that get/put_user_try no longer nests, and furthermore that
it is no longer legal to use user space access functions other than
__get/put_user_ex() inside those blocks. However, these macros are
x86-specific anyway and are only used in the signal-handling paths; a
simple reordering of moving the larger subroutine calls out of the
try...catch blocks resolves that problem.

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to
userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the
performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new
instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.
This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP
feature is enabled. It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the
SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one
conditional.

The STAC/CLAC instructions are only available with SMAP, but on the
other hand they aren't needed if SMAP is not available, or before we
start to run userspace, so construct them as alternatives which start
out as noops and are enabled by the alternatives mechanism.

Pull Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
- Fix M2P batching re-using the incorrect structure field.
In v3.5 we added batching for M2P override (Machine Frame Number ->
Physical Frame Number), but the original MFN was saved in an
incorrect structure - and we would oops/restore when restoring with
the old MFN.
- Disable BIOS SMP MP table search.
A bootup issue that we had ignored until we found that on DL380 G6 it
was needed.
