Pull x86/uv changes from Ingo Molnar:
"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? ]"

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.

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).

membership
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
the feature flag is set.

On UP i386, when APIC is disabled
# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set
# CONFIG_PCI_IOAPIC is not set
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
to be NULL when CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is unset: I verified
that as the result any loop scanning __apicdrivers gets optimized out by
the compiler.
Warning: a .config with apic disabled doesn't seem to boot
for me (even without this patch). Still verifying why,
meanwhile this patch is compile-tested only.

On SGI's UV2 the BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) driver can hang
under a heavy load. To cure this:
- Disable the UV2 extended status mode (see UV2_EXT_SHFT), as
this mode changes BAU behavior in more ways then just delivering
an extra bit of status. Revert status to just two meaningful bits,
like UV1.
- Use no IPI-style resets on UV2. Just give up the request for
whatever the reason it failed and let it be accomplished with
the legacy IPI method.
- Use no alternate sending descriptor (the former UV2 workaround
bcp->using_desc and handle_uv2_busy() stuff). Just disable the
use of the BAU for a period of time in favor of the legacy IPI
method when the h/w bug leaves a descriptor busy.
-- new tunable: giveup_limit determines the threshold at which a hub is
so plugged that it should do all requests with the legacy IPI method for a
period of time
-- generalize disable_for_congestion() (renamed disable_for_period()) for
use whenever a hub should avoid using the BAU for a period of time
Also:
- Fix find_another_by_swack(), which is part of the UV2 bug workaround
- Correct and clarify the statistics (new stats s_overipilimit, s_giveuplimit,
s_enters, s_ipifordisabled, s_plugged, s_congested)

This patch enables the BAU to be turned on or off dynamically.
echo "on" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics
echo "off" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics
The system may be booted with or without the nobau option.
Whether the system currently has the BAU off can be seen in
the /proc file -- normally with the baustats script.
Each cpu will have a 1 in the bauoff field if the BAU was turned
off, so baustats will give a count of cpus that have it off.

Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory.
This reduces the number of exits an interrupt
causes as much as by half.
The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear
before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using
a test and clear operation - this is necessary
so that host can detect interrupt nesting -
and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR.
There's a new MSR to set the address of said register
in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed:
- Guest EOI is not required
- Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit
For testing results see description of previous patch
'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

In the x86 32bit PAE CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y case while holding the
mmap_sem for reading, cmpxchg8b cannot be used to read pmd contents under
Xen.
So instead of dealing only with "consistent" pmdvals in
pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() (which would be conceptually
simpler) we let pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() deal with pmdvals
where the low 32bit and high 32bit could be inconsistent (to avoid having
to use cmpxchg8b).
The only guarantee we get from pmd_read_atomic is that if the low part of
the pmd was found null, the high part will be null too (so the pmd will be
considered unstable). And if the low part of the pmd is found "stable"
later, then it means the whole pmd was read atomically (because after a
pmd is stable, neither MADV_DONTNEED nor page faults can alter it anymore,
and we read the high part after the low part).
In the 32bit PAE x86 case, it is enough to read the low part of the pmdval
atomically to declare the pmd as "stable" and that's true for THP and no
THP, furthermore in the THP case we also have a barrier() that will
prevent any inconsistent pmdvals to be cached by a later re-read of the
*pmd.

On RISC architectures like powerpc, instructions are fixed size.
Instruction analysis on such platforms is just a matter of

that arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can flag misaligned registration

It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of
section mismatch warnings:
VDSOSYM arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-syms.lds
LD arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o
LD arch/x86/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5af0): Section mismatch in
reference from the variable test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 to
the function .init.text:test_nmi_ipi_callback() [...]
WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5b04): Section mismatch in
reference from the variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 to the function
.init.text:nmi_unk_cb() The variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399
references the function __init nmi_unk_cb() [...]
Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of
the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler. The
reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the
init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is.
To resolve this, I created a new #define,
register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
__initdata to resolve the mismatch. This #define should only be
used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called
during init of the kernel.
Big thanks to Jan Beulich for decoding this for me as I didn't
have a clue what was going on.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
for selective broadcast.
But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

Currently cpu_mask_to_apicid() should not get a offline CPU with
the cpumask. Otherwise some apic drivers might try to access
non-existent per-cpu variables (i.e. x2apic). In that regard
cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operations are
inconsistent.
This fix makes the two operations do not rely on calling
functions and always return the apicid for only online CPUs. As
result, the meaning and implementations of cpu_mask_to_apicid()
and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operations become straight.

Current cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
implementations have few shortcomings:
1. A value returned by cpu_mask_to_apicid() is written to
hardware registers unconditionally. Should BAD_APICID get ever
returned it will be written to a hardware too. But the value of
BAD_APICID is not universal across all hardware in all modes and
might cause unexpected results, i.e. interrupts might get routed
to CPUs that are not configured to receive it.
2. Because the value of BAD_APICID is not universal it is
counter- intuitive to return it for a hardware where it does not
make sense (i.e. x2apic).
3. cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operation is thought as an
complement to cpu_mask_to_apicid() that only applies a AND mask
on top of a cpumask being passed. Yet, as consequence of 18374d8
commit the two operations are inconsistent in that of:
cpu_mask_to_apicid() should not get a offline CPU with the cpumask
cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() should not fail and return BAD_APICID
These limitations are impossible to realize just from looking at
the operations prototypes.
Most of these shortcomings are resolved by returning a error
code instead of BAD_APICID. As the result, faults are reported
back early rather than possibilities to cause a unexpected
behaviour exist (in case of [1]).
The only exception is setup_timer_IRQ0_pin() routine. Although
obviously controversial to this fix, its existing behaviour is
preserved to not break the fragile check_timer() and would
better addressed in a separate fix.

In case of static vector allocation domains (i.e. flat) if all
vector numbers are exhausted, an attempt to assign a new vector
will lead to useless scans through all CPUs in the cpumask, even
though it is known that each new pass would fail. Make this
corner case less painful by letting report whether the vector
allocation domain depends on passed arguments or not and stop
scanning early.
The same could have been achived by introducing a static flag to
the apic operations. But let's allow vector_allocation_domain()
have more intelligence here and decide dynamically, in case we
would need it in the future.
