OLPC machines are now ARM-based (which means lots of x86 and ARM

sense to go through a separate OLPC tree after getting the appropriate
review/ACKs."

Platform: OLPC: add a stub to drivers/platform/ for the OLPC EC driver
This uses the new EC driver framework in drivers/platform/olpc. The
XO-1 and XO-1.5-specific code is still in arch/x86, but the generic stuff
(including a new workqueue; no more running EC commands with IRQs disabled!)

Some PMUs don't provide a full register set for their sample,
specifically 'advanced' PMUs like AMD IBS and Intel PEBS which provide
'better' than regular interrupt accuracy.
In this case we use the interrupt regs as basis and over-write some
fields (typically IP) with different information.
The perf core however uses user_mode() to distinguish user/kernel
samples, user_mode() relies on regs->cs. If the interrupt skid pushed
us over a boundary the new IP might not be in the same domain as the
interrupt.
Commit ce5c1fe9a9 ("perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples")
tried to fix this by making the perf core use kernel_ip(). This
however is wrong (TM), as pointed out by Linus, since it doesn't allow
for VM86 and non-zero based segments in IA32 mode.
Therefore, provide a new helper to set the regs->ip field,
set_linear_ip(), which massages the regs into a suitable state
assuming the provided IP is in fact a linear address.
Also modify perf_instruction_pointer() and perf_callchain_user() to
deal with segments base offsets.

Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add
Kconfig options for them and select them there instead. This also allows

The most important part of these updates is the IOMMU groups code
enhancement written by Alex Williamson. It abstracts the problem that a
given hardware IOMMU can't isolate any given device from any other
device (e.g. 32 bit PCI devices can't usually be isolated). Devices that
can't be isolated are grouped together. This code is required for the
upcoming VFIO framework.
Another IOMMU-API change written by be is the introduction of domain
attributes. This makes it easier to handle GART-like IOMMUs with the
IOMMU-API because now the start-address and the size of the domain
address space can be queried.
Besides that there are a few cleanups and fixes for the NVidia Tegra
IOMMU drivers and the reworked init-code for the AMD IOMMU. The later is
from my patch-set to support interrupt remapping. The rest of this
patch-set requires x86 changes which are not mergabe yet. So full
support for interrupt remapping with AMD IOMMUs will come in a future
merge window.

"UV2 BAU productization fixes.
The BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) is SGI's fancy out of line way on UV
hardware to do TLB flushes, instead of the normal APIC IPI methods.
The commits here fix / work around hangs in their latest hardware
iteration (UV2).
My understanding is that the main purpose of the out of line
signalling channel is to improve scalability: the UV APIC hardware
glue does not handle broadcasting to many CPUs very well, and this
matters most for TLB shootdowns.
[ I don't agree with all aspects of the current approach: in hindsight
it would have been better to link the BAU at the IPI/APIC driver
level instead of the TLB shootdown level, where TLB flushes are
really just one of the uses of broadcast SMP messages. Doing that
would improve scalability in some other ways and it would also
remove a few uglies from the TLB path. It would also be nice to
push more is_uv_system() tests into proper x86_init or x86_platform
callbacks. Cliff? ]"

As things currently stand, traditional EFI boot loaders and the EFI
boot stub are carrying essentially the same initialisation code
required to setup an EFI machine for booting a kernel. There's really
no need to have this code in two places and the hope is that, with
this new protocol, initialisation and booting of the kernel can be
left solely to the kernel's EFI boot stub. The responsibilities of the
boot loader then become,
o Loading the kernel image from boot media
File system code still needs to be carried by boot loaders for the
scenario where the kernel and initrd files reside on a file system
that the EFI firmware doesn't natively understand, such as ext4, etc.
o Providing a user interface
Boot loaders still need to display any menus/interfaces, for example
to allow the user to select from a list of kernels.
Bump the boot protocol number because we added the 'handover_offset'
field to indicate the location of the handover protocol entry point.

When more than 1 source id is in use for the same GSI, we have the
following race related to handling irq_states race:
CPU 0 clears bit 0. CPU 0 read irq_state as 0. CPU 1 sets level to 1.
CPU 1 calls kvm_ioapic_set_irq(1). CPU 0 calls kvm_ioapic_set_irq(0).
Now ioapic thinks the level is 0 but irq_state is not 0.
Fix by performing all irq_states bitmap handling under pic/ioapic lock.
This also removes the need for atomics with irq_states handling.

When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first,
and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging.
This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert
Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically
self-contained, not touching other kernel components.
By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information,
like what they did under native Linux.

KVM PV EOI optimization overrides eoi_write apic op with its own
version. Add an API for this to avoid meddling with core x86 apic driver
data structures directly.
For KVM use, we don't need any guarantees about when the switch to the
new op will take place, so it could in theory use this API after SMP init,
but it currently doesn't, and restricting callers to early init makes it
clear that it's safe as it won't race with actual APIC driver use.

This patch handles PCID/INVPCID for guests.
Process-context identifiers (PCIDs) are a facility by which a logical processor
may cache information for multiple linear-address spaces so that the processor
may retain cached information when software switches to a different linear
address space. Refer to section 4.10.1 in IA32 Intel Software Developer's Manual
Volume 3A for details.
For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running
natively.
For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD.

While debugging I noticed that unlike all the other hypervisor code in the
kernel, kvm does not have an entry for x86_hyper which is used in
detect_hypervisor_platform() which results in a nice printk in the
syslog. This is only really a stub function but it
does make kvm more consistent with the other hypervisors.

For the x2apic cluster mode, vector for an interrupt is
currently reserved on all the cpu's that are part of the x2apic
cluster. But the interrupts will be routed only to the cluster
(derived from the first cpu in the mask) members specified in
the mask. So there is no need to reserve the vector in the
unused cluster members.
Modify __assign_irq_vector() to reserve the vectors based on the
user specified irq destination mask. If the new mask is a proper
subset of the currently used mask, cleanup the vector allocation
on the unused cpu members.
Also, allow the apic driver to tune the vector domain based on
the affinity mask (which in most cases is the user-specified
mask).

Currently __assign_irq_vector() goes through each cpu in the
specified mask until it finds a free vector in all the cpu's
that are part of the same interrupt domain. We visit all the
interrupt domain sibling cpus to reserve the free vector. So,
when we fail to find a free vector in an interrupt domain, it is
safe to continue our search with a cpu belonging to a new
interrupt domain. No need to go through each cpu, if the domain
containing that cpu is already visited.
Use the irq_cfg's old_domain to track the visited domains and
optimize the cpu traversal while finding a free vector in the
given cpumask.
NOTE: We can also optimize the search by using for_each_cpu() and
skip the current cpu, if it is not the first cpu in the mask
returned by the vector_allocation_domain(). But re-using the
cfg->old_domain to track the visited domains will be slightly
faster.

There is no need for keeping separate pmu structs. We can enable
amd_{get,put}_event_constraints() functions also for family 15h event.
The advantage is that there is only a single pmu struct for all AMD
cpus. This patch introduces functions to setup the pmu to enabe core
performance counters or counter constraints.
Also, cpuid checks are used instead of family checks where
possible. Thus, it enables the code independently of cpu families if

code looking at apicdrivers never has any effect but it
still gets compiled in. In particular, this causes
build failures with kvm, but it generally bloats the kernel
unnecessarily.
Fix by defining both __apicdrivers and __apicdrivers_end

that as the result any loop scanning __apicdrivers gets optimized out by
the compiler.
