KVM uses a function call IPI to cause the exit of a guest running on a
physical cpu. For virtual interrupt notification there is no need to
wait on IPI receival, or to execute any function.
This is exactly what the reschedule IPI does, without the overhead
of function IPI. So use it instead of smp_call_function_single in
kvm_vcpu_kick.
Also change the "guest_mode" variable to a bit in vcpu->requests, and
use that to collapse multiple IPI's that would be issued between the
first one and zeroing of guest mode.
This allows kvm_vcpu_kick to called with interrupts disabled.

The reason is that default_get_apic_id handled extension of local APIC

Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and
bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel

support for extended APIC id (8 bits instead of 4 bits width) and sets
the flag on AMD CPUs if applicable.

Fix bug in the SGI UV macros that support systems with multiple
coherency domains. The macros used for referencing global MMR
(chipset registers) are failing to correctly "or" the NASID
(node identifier) bits that reside above M+N. These high bits
are supplied automatically by the chipset for memory accesses
coming from the processor socket.
However, the bits must be present for references to the special
global MMR space used to map chipset registers. (See uv_hub.h
for more details ...)
The bug results in references to invalid/incorrect nodes.

Indeed we still rely on apic->read operation for SMP compiled
kernel. And instead of disfigure the SMP code with #ifdef we
allow to call apic->read. To capture any unexpected results
we check for apic->read being called for sane reason via
WARN_ON_ONCE but(!) instead of OR we should use AND logical
operation (thanks Yinghai for spotting the root of the problem).
Along with that we could be have bad MP table and we are
to fix it that way no SMP started and no complains about
BIOS bug if apic was just disabled via command line.

Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
method.
This is a 3-dimensional space:
{ L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
{ load, store, prefetch } x
{ accesses, misses }
User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
combination makes sense.)
Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.
Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
both valid aliases.
( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

The current code to set up the GART as an IOMMU enables GART
translations before it removes the aperture from the kernel memory
map, sets the GART PTEs to UC, sets up the guard and scratch
pages, or does a wbinvd(). This leaves the possibility of cache
aliasing open and can cause system crashes.
Re-order the code so as to enable the GART translations only
after all safeguards are in place and the tlb has been flushed.
AMD has tested this patch on both Istanbul systems and 1st

Newer Intel CPUs support a new class of machine checks called recoverable
action optional.
Action Optional means that the CPU detected some form of corruption in
the background and tells the OS about using a machine check
exception. The OS can then take appropiate action, like killing the
process with the corrupted data or logging the event properly to disk.
This is done by the new generic high level memory failure handler added
in a earlier patch. The high level handler takes the address with the
failed memory and does the appropiate action, like killing the process.
In this version of the patch the high level handler is stubbed out
with a weak function to not create a direct dependency on the hwpoison
branch.
The high level handler cannot be directly called from the machine check
exception though, because it has to run in a defined process context to
be able to sleep when taking VM locks (it is not expected to sleep for a
long time, just do so in some exceptional cases like lock contention)
Thus the MCE handler has to queue a work item for process context,
trigger process context and then call the high level handler from there.
This patch adds two path to process context: through a per thread kernel
exit notify_user() callback or through a high priority work item.
The first runs when the process exits back to user space, the other when
it goes to sleep and there is no higher priority process.
The machine check handler will schedule both, and whoever runs first
will grab the event. This is done because quick reaction to this
event is critical to avoid a potential more fatal machine check
when the corruption is consumed.
There is a simple lock less ring buffer to queue the corrupted
addresses between the exception handler and the process context handler.
Then in process context it just calls the high level VM code with
the corrupted PFNs.
The code adds the required code to extract the failed address from
the CPU's machine check registers. It doesn't try to handle all
possible cases -- the specification has 6 different ways to specify
memory address -- but only the linear address.
Most of the required checking has been already done earlier in the
mce_severity rule checking engine. Following the Intel
recommendations Action Optional errors are only enabled for known
situations (encoded in MCACODs). The errors are ignored otherwise,
because they are action optional.

triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(),
producing ugly backtraces and confusing users.
This is a common situation with machine checks for example which
tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit
in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it
means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which
would be bad.
This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function,
which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other
CPUs.
On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU
smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic
situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex
system state.
I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic
there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch
was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the
underlying complexity problems.
The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by
checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make
this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution
because panic has to be reliable.
So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot
code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus
in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on
too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be
called from interupts off region because it is very very simple.
There can be situations where it is important that panic
is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic
is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly
as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and
all function it calls simple.
This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme.
It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not
particularly precious anymore since all big systems are
using per CPU vectors.
Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar
to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't
work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs
would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts
off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for
using a non NMI vector for now.
I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of
the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down
instead into the next lower priority.

The MCE severity judgement code is data-driven, so code coverage tools
such as gcov can not be used for measuring coverage. Instead a dedicated
coverage mechanism is implemented. The kernel keeps track of rules
executed and reports them in debugfs.
This is useful for increasing coverage of the mce-test testsuite.
Right now it's unconditionally enabled because it's very little code.

The x86 architecture recently added some new machine check status bits:
S(ignalled) and AR (Action-Required). Signalled allows to check
if a specific event caused an exception or was just logged through CMCI.
AR allows the kernel to decide if an event needs immediate action
or can be delayed or ignored.
Implement support for these new status bits. mce_severity() uses
the new bits to grade the machine check correctly and decide what
to do. The exception handler uses AR to decide to kill or not.
The S bit is used to separate events between the poll/CMCI handler
and the exception handler.
Classical UC always leads to panic. That was true before anyways
because the existing CPUs always passed a PCC with it.
Also corrects the rules whether to kill in user or kernel context
and how to handle missing RIPV.
The machine check handler largely uses the mce-severity grading
engine now instead of making its own decisions. This means the logic
is centralized in one place. This is useful because it has to be
evaluated multiple times.
