It doesn't really start a CPU but does a far jump to C code. So call it
that. Eliminate the unconditional JMP to it from secondary_startup_64()
but make the jump to C code piece part of secondary_startup_64()
instead.
Also, it doesn't need to be a global symbol either so make it a local
label. One less needlessly global symbol in the symbol table.
No functionality change.

Sergey reported a might sleep warning triggered from the hpet resume
path. It's caused by the call to disable_irq() from interrupt disabled
context.
The problem with the low level resume code is that it is not accounted as a
special system_state like we do during the boot process. Calling the same
code during system boot would not trigger the warning. That's inconsistent
at best.
In this particular case it's trivial to replace the disable_irq() with
disable_hardirq() because this particular code path is solely used from
system resume and the involved hpet interrupts can never be force threaded.

Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit:
acb04058de ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash")
... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's
kvm_clock _is_ stable.
The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC
state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function.
Solve this by doing two things:
- tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable
state for the normal (!paravirt) case.
- only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable
when we use native_sched_clock().
The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more
situations then before, which is good. And since commit:
12907fbb1a ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method")
... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results
in marking the TSC unstable.

The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.
Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.
Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

Fix to the exception table entry check by using probed address
instead of the address of copied instruction.
This bug may cause unexpected kernel panic if user probe an address

The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.
On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction. When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.
Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'. That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.
Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway. The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.
So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro. The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section. Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.

- GICv3 save/restore
- cache flushing fixes
- working MSI injection for GICv3 ITS
- physical timer emulation

- various improvements under the hood
- support for SMP guests
- a large rewrite of MMU emulation. KVM MIPS can now use MMU
notifiers to support copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking,
swapping, ballooning and everything else. KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM is
also supported, so that writes to some memory regions can be
treated as MMIO. The new MMU also paves the way for hardware
virtualization support.

- support for POWER9 using the radix-tree MMU for host and guest
- resizable hashed page table
- bugfixes.

- expose more features to the guest
- more SIMD extensions
- instruction execution protection
- ESOP2
x86:
- improved hashing in the MMU
- faster PageLRU tracking for Intel CPUs without EPT A/D bits
- some refactoring of nested VMX entry/exit code, preparing for live
migration support of nested hypervisors
- expose yet another AVX512 CPUID bit
- host-to-guest PTP support
- refactoring of interrupt injection, with some optimizations thrown
in and some duct tape removed.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big char/misc driver patchset for 4.11-rc1.
Lots of different driver subsystems updated here: rework for the
hyperv subsystem to handle new platforms better, mei and w1 and extcon
driver updates, as well as a number of other "minor" driver updates.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

It was found when running fio sequential write test with a XFS ramdisk
on a KVM guest running on a 2-socket x86-64 system, the %CPU times
as reported by perf were as follows:
69.75% 0.59% fio [k] down_write
69.15% 0.01% fio [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed
67.12% 1.12% fio [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
63.48% 52.77% fio [k] osq_lock
9.46% 7.88% fio [k] __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt
3.93% 3.93% fio [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted
Making vcpu_is_preempted() a callee-save function has a relatively
high cost on x86-64 primarily due to at least one more cacheline of
data access from the saving and restoring of registers (8 of them)
to and from stack as well as one more level of function call.
To reduce this performance overhead, an optimized assembly version
of the the __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() function is
provided for x86-64.
With this patch applied on a KVM guest on a 2-socket 16-core 32-thread
system with 16 parallel jobs (8 on each socket), the aggregrate
bandwidth of the fio test on an XFS ramdisk were as follows:
I/O Type w/o patch with patch
-------- --------- ----------
random read 8141.2 MB/s 8497.1 MB/s
seq read 8229.4 MB/s 8304.2 MB/s
random write 1675.5 MB/s 1701.5 MB/s
seq write 1681.3 MB/s 1699.9 MB/s
There are some increases in the aggregated bandwidth because of
the patch.
The perf data now became:
70.78% 0.58% fio [k] down_write
70.20% 0.01% fio [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed
69.70% 1.17% fio [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
59.91% 55.42% fio [k] osq_lock
10.14% 10.14% fio [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted
The assembly code was verified by using a test kernel module to
compare the output of C __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted() and that of assembly
__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() to verify that they matched.

The cpu argument in the function prototype of vcpu_is_preempted()
is changed from int to long. That makes it easier to provide a better
optimized assembly version of that function.
For Xen, vcpu_is_preempted(long) calls xen_vcpu_stolen(int), the
downcast from long to int is not a problem as vCPU number won't exceed
32 bits.

Intel's VMX is daft and resets the hidden TSS limit register to 0x67
on VMX reload, and the 0x67 is not configurable. KVM currently
reloads TR using the LTR instruction on every exit, but this is quite
slow because LTR is serializing.
The 0x67 limit is entirely harmless unless ioperm() is in use, so
defer the reload until a task using ioperm() is actually running.
Here's some poorly done benchmarking using kvm-unit-tests:
