governor
Future AMD processors, starting with Family 16h, can provide software
with feedback on how the workload may respond to frequency change --
memory-bound workloads will not benefit from higher frequency, where
as compute-bound workloads will. This patch enables this "frequency
sensitivity feedback" to aid the ondemand governor to make better
frequency change decisions by hooking into the powersave bias.

Commit fca460f95e928bae373daa8295877b6905bc62b8 simplified the x32
implementation by creating a syscall bitmask, equal to 0x40000000, that
could be applied to x32 syscalls such that the masked syscall number
would be the same as a x86_64 syscall. While that patch was a nice
way to simplify the code, it went a bit too far by adding the mask to
syscall_get_nr(); returning the masked syscall numbers can cause
confusion with callers that expect syscall numbers matching the x32
ABI, e.g. unmasked syscall numbers.
This patch fixes this by simply removing the mask from syscall_get_nr()
while preserving the other changes from the original commit. While
there are several syscall_get_nr() callers in the kernel, most simply
check that the syscall number is greater than zero, in this case this
patch will have no effect. Of those remaining callers, they appear
to be few, seccomp and ftrace, and from my testing of seccomp without
this patch the original commit definitely breaks things; the seccomp
filter does not correctly filter the syscalls due to the difference in
syscall numbers in the BPF filter and the value from syscall_get_nr().
Applying this patch restores the seccomp BPF filter functionality on
x32.
I've tested this patch with the seccomp BPF filters as well as ftrace
and everything looks reasonable to me; needless to say general usage
seemed fine as well.

However, a look at cmci_rediscover shows that it can be simplified quite
a bit, apart from solving the above issue. It invokes functions that
take spin locks with interrupts disabled, and hence it can run in atomic
context. Also, it is run in the CPU_POST_DEAD phase, so the dying CPU
is already dead and out of the cpu_online_mask. So take these points into
account and simplify the code, and thereby also fix the above issue.

In order to migrate the PMU state correctly, we need to restore the
values of MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS (a read-only register) and
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL (which has side effects when written).
We also need to write the full 40-bit value of the performance counter,
which would only be possible with a v3 architectural PMU's full-width
counter MSRs.
To distinguish host-initiated writes from the guest's, pass the
full struct msr_data to kvm_pmu_set_msr.

This patch adds support for memory profiling using the
PEBS Load Latency facility.
Load accesses are sampled by HW and the instruction
address, data address, load latency, data source, tlb,
locked information can be saved in the sampling buffer
if using the PERF_SAMPLE_COST (for latency),
PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC types.
To enable PEBS Load Latency, users have to use the
model specific event:
- on NHM/WSM: MEM_INST_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD
- on SNB/IVB: MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD
To make things easier, this patch also exports a generic
alias via sysfs: mem-loads. It export the right event
encoding based on the host CPU and can be used directly
by the perf tool.
Loosely based on Intel's Lin Ming patch posted on LKML
in July 2011.

For MSI-X capable devices the hypervisor wants to write protect the
MSI-X table and PBA, yet it can't assume that resources have been
assigned to their final values at device enumeration time. Thus have
pciback do that notification, as having the device controlled by it is
a prerequisite to assigning the device to guests anyway.

(CVE-2013-1797)
There is a potential use after free issue with the handling of
MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME. If the guest specifies a GPA in a movable or removable
memory such as frame buffers then KVM might continue to write to that
address even after it's removed via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. KVM pins
the page in memory so it's unlikely to cause an issue, but if the user
space component re-purposes the memory previously used for the guest, then
the guest will be able to corrupt that memory.

Currently kprobes check whether the copied instruction modifies
IF (interrupt flag) on each probe hit. This results not only in
introducing overhead but also involving
inat_get_opcode_attribute into the kprobes hot path, and it can
cause an infinite recursive call (and kernel panic in the end).
Actually, since the copied instruction itself can never be modified
on the buffer, it is needless to analyze the instruction on every
probe hit.
To fix this issue, we check it only once when registering probe
and store the result on ainsn->if_modifier.

When we create or move a memory slot, we need to zap mmio sptes.
Currently, zap_all() is used for this and this is causing two problems:
- extra page faults after zapping mmu pages
- long mmu_lock hold time during zapping mmu pages
For the latter, Marcelo reported a disastrous mmu_lock hold time during
hot-plug, which made the guest unresponsive for a long time.
This patch takes a simple way to fix these problems: do not zap mmu
pages unless they are marked mmio cached. On our test box, this took
only 50us for the 4GB guest and we did not see ms of mmu_lock hold time
any more.
Note that we still need to do zap_all() for other cases. So another
work is also needed: Xiao's work may be the one.

A VCPU sending INIT or SIPI to some other VCPU races for setting the
remote VCPU's mp_state. When we were unlucky, KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED
was overwritten by kvm_emulate_halt and, thus, got lost.
This introduces APIC events for those two signals, keeping them in
kvm_apic until kvm_apic_accept_events is run over the target vcpu
context. kvm_apic_has_events reports to kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable if there
are pending events, thus if vcpu blocking should end.
The patch comes with the side effect of effectively obsoleting
KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED. We still accept it from user space, but
immediately translate it to KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED + KVM_APIC_SIPI.
The vcpu itself will no longer enter the KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED
state. That also means we no longer exit to user space after receiving a
SIPI event.
Furthermore, we already reset the VCPU on INIT, only fixing up the code
segment later on when SIPI arrives. Moreover, we fix INIT handling for
the BSP: it never enter wait-for-SIPI but directly starts over on INIT.

When boot_params->sentinel is set, all we really know is that some
undefined set of fields in struct boot_params contain garbage. In the
particular case of efi_info, however, there is a private magic for
that substructure, so it is generally safe to leave it even if the
bootloader is broken.
kexec (for which we did the initial analysis) did not initialize this
field, but of course all the EFI bootloaders do, and most EFI
bootloaders are broken in this respect (and should be fixed.)

their argument types are identical to those of sys_kill and sys_mprotect
resp., so we are not doing any kind of argument validation, etc. in those -
they turn into unconditional branches to corresponding syscalls.

... and switch i386 to HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS, killing open-coded
uses of asmlinkage_protect() in a bunch of syscalls.

Pull signal/compat fixes from Al Viro:
"Fixes for several regressions introduced in the last signal.git pile,
along with fixing bugs in truncate and ftruncate compat (on just about
anything biarch at least one of those two had been done wrong)."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
compat: restore timerfd settime and gettime compat syscalls
[regression] braino in "sparc: convert to ksignal"
fix compat truncate/ftruncate
switch lseek to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
lseek() and truncate() on sparc really need sign extension

Pull x86/EFI changes from Peter Anvin:
- Improve the initrd handling in the EFI boot stub by allowing forward
slashes in the pathname - from Chun-Yi Lee.
- Cleanup code duplication in the EFI mixed kernel/firmware code - from
Satoru Takeuchi.
- efivarfs bug fixes for more strict filename validation, with lots of
input from Al Viro.

x86, efi: remove duplicate code in setup_arch() by using, efi_is_native()
efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive
efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively
efivarfs: Use sizeof() instead of magic number
x86, efi: Allow slash in file path of initrd
