toggle_interruptibility() is used only by same file, it should be static.

Fix problem with double export of certain symbols from vsprintf.c
which we do not wish to export from the kvm-intel.ko module.
In addition, we do not have access to kallsyms_lookup() from the
module, so make sure to #undef CONFIG_KALLSYMS

make_all_cpus_request contains a race condition which can
trigger false request completed status, as follows:

.. return
proceed to smp_call_function_many(wait=1)

This reverts commit 95ee14e4379c5e19c0897c872350570402014742.
Mikael Petterson <mikepe@it.uu.se> reported that at least one of his
systems will not boot as a result. We have ruled out the detection
algorithm malfunctioning, so it is not a matter of producing the
incorrect bitmasks; rather, something in the application of them
fails.
Revert the commit until we can root cause and correct this problem.

Increase size for event name to handle bigger names like
'L1-d$-prefetch-misses'
Changed scaled counters from percentage to a multiplicative
factor because the latter is more expressive.
Also aligned the scaling factor, otherwise sometimes it looks
like:
384 iTLB-load-misses (4.74x scaled)
452029 branch-loads (8.00x scaled)
5892 branch-load-misses (20.39x scaled)
972315 iTLB-loads (3.24x scaled)
Before:
150708 L1-d$-stores (scaled from 23.57%)
428804 L1-d$-prefetches (scaled from 23.47%)
314446 L1-d$-prefetch-misses (scaled from 23.42%)
252626137 L1-i$-loads (scaled from 23.24%)

When NAPI is disabled while we're in net_rx_action, we end up
calling __napi_complete without flushing GRO packets. This is
a bug as it would cause the GRO packets to linger, of course it
also literally BUGs to catch error like this :)
This patch changes it to napi_complete, with the obligatory IRQ
reenabling. This should be safe because we've only just disabled
IRQs and it does not materially affect the test conditions in
between.

There are some devices in the wild that clear the DRQ bit during the
last word of a packet command and therefore could use a "second chance"
for that last word of data to be xferred instead of simply failing the
request. Do that by attempting to suck in those last bytes in PIO mode.
In addition, the ATA_ERR bit has to be cleared for we cannot be sure the
data is valid otherwise.

Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it
makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This

When using 64k page sizes, our PTE pages are split in two halves,
the second half containing the "extension" used to keep track of
individual 4k pages when not using HW 64k pages.
However, our page tables used for hugetlb have a slightly different
format and don't carry that "second half".
Our code that batched PTEs to be invalidated unconditionally reads
the "second half" (to put it into the batch), which means that when
called to invalidate hugetlb PTEs, it will access unrelated memory.
It breaks when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled.
This fixes it by only accessing the second half when the _PAGE_COMBO
bit is set in the first half, which indicates that we are dealing with
a "combo" page which represents 16x4k subpages. Anything else shouldn't
have this bit set and thus not require loading from the second half.

spin_lock() can hang if called while the timebase is frozen,

Several platforms use their own copy of what is essentially the same code,
using RTAS to synchronize the timebases when bringing up new CPUs. This
moves it all into a single common implementation and additionally
turns the spinlock into a raw spinlock since the former can rely on
the timebase not being frozen when spinlock debugging is enabled, and finally
masks interrupts while the timebase is disabled.

RTAS currently uses a normal spinlock. However it can be called from
contexts where this is not necessarily a good idea. For example, it
can be called while syncing timebases, with the core timebase being
frozen. Unfortunately, that will deadlock in case of lock contention
when spinlock debugging is enabled as the spin lock debugging code
will try to use __delay() which ... relies on the timebase being
enabled.
Also RTAS can be used in some low level IRQ handling code path so it
may as well be a raw spinlock for -rt sake.

Based on initial work from: Dale Farnsworth <dale@farnsworth.org>
Add the low level irq tracing hooks for 32-bit powerpc needed
to enable full lockdep functionality.
The approach taken to deal with the code in entry_32.S is that
we don't trace all the transitions of MSR:EE when we just turn
it off to peek at TI_FLAGS without races. Only when we are
calling into C code or returning from exceptions with a state
that have changed from what lockdep thinks.
There's a little bugger though: If we take an exception that
keeps interrupts enabled (such as an alignment exception) while
interrupts are enabled, we will call trace_hardirqs_on() on the
way back spurriously. Not a big deal, but to get rid of it would
require remembering in pt_regs that the exception was one of the
type that kept interrupts enabled which we don't know at this
stage. (Well, we could test all cases for regs->trap but that
sucks too much).

Alright, I've reworked this now so that if we get one of these cases
where there's a bsr that's > 4k and < 64k on a 64k kernel we'll only
advertise that it is a 4k BSR to userspace. I think this is the best
solution since user programs are only supposed to look at sysfs to
determine how much can be mapped, and libbsr does this as well.
Please consider for 2.6.31 as a fix, thanks.
