Move to/from Control Registers chapter of Intel SDM says. "Reserved bits
in CR0 remain clear after any load of those registers; attempts to set
them have no impact". Control Register chapter says "Bits 63:32 of CR0 are
reserved and must be written with zeros. Writing a nonzero value to any
of the upper 32 bits results in a general-protection exception, #GP(0)."
This patch tries to implement this twisted logic.

The return values from x86_emulate_ops are defined
in kvm_emulate.h as macros X86EMUL_*.
But in emulate.c, we are comparing the return values
from these ops with 0 to check if they're X86EMUL_CONTINUE
or not: X86EMUL_CONTINUE is defined as 0 now.
To avoid possible mistakes in the future, this patch
substitutes "X86EMUL_CONTINUE" for "0" that are being
compared with the return values from x86_emulate_ops.
We think that there are more places we should use these
macros, but the meanings of rc values in x86_emulate_insn()
were not so clear at a glance. If we use proper macros in
this function, we would be able to follow the flow of each
emulation more easily and, maybe, more securely.

| x86/pci: update pirq_enable_irq() to setup io apic routing
|
The problem is that with the patch, the machine freezes when
console=ttyS0,... kernel serial parameter is passed.
It seem to freeze at DVD initialization and the whole problem
seem to be DVD/pata related, but somehow exposed through the
serial parameter.
Such apic problems can expose really weird behavior:
ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x10] address[0xfecff000] gsi_base[0])
IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 16, version 0, address 0xfecff000, GSI 0-2
ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x0f] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[3])
IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 15, version 0, address 0xfec00000, GSI 3-38
ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x0e] address[0xfec01000] gsi_base[39])
IOAPIC[2]: apic_id 14, version 0, address 0xfec01000, GSI 39-74
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 1 global_irq 4 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 0 global_irq 5 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 3 global_irq 6 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 4 global_irq 7 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 6 global_irq 9 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 7 global_irq 10 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 8 global_irq 11 low edge)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 9 global_irq 12 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 12 global_irq 15 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 13 global_irq 16 dfl dfl)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 14 global_irq 17 low edge)
ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 15 global_irq 18 dfl dfl)
It turns out that the system has three io apic controllers, but
boot ioapic routing is in the second one, and that gsi_base is
not 0 - it is using a bunch of INT_SRC_OVR...
So these recent changes:
1. one set routing for first io apic controller
2. assume irq = gsi
... will break that system.
So try to remap those gsis, need to seperate boot_ioapic_idx
detection out of enable_IO_APIC() and call them early.
So introduce boot_ioapic_idx, and remap_ioapic_gsi()...
-v2: shift gsi with delta instead of gsi_base of boot_ioapic_idx
-v3: double check with find_isa_irq_apic(0, mp_INT) to get right
boot_ioapic_idx
-v4: nr_legacy_irqs
-v5: add print out for boot_ioapic_idx, and also make it could be
applied for current kernel and previous kernel
-v6: add bus_irq, in acpi_sci_ioapic_setup, so can get overwride
for sci right mapping...
-v7: looks like pnpacpi get irq instead of gsi, so need to revert
them back...
-v8: split into two patches
-v9: according to Eric, use fixed 16 for shifting instead of remap
-v10: still need to touch rsparser.c
-v11: just revert back to way Eric suggest...
anyway the ioapic in first ioapic is blocked by second...
-v12: two patches, this one will add more loop but check apic_id and irq > 16

There's a path in the pagefault code where the kernel deliberately
breaks its own locking rules by kmapping a high pte page without
holding the pagetable lock (in at least page_check_address). This
breaks Xen's ability to track the pinned/unpinned state of the
page. There does not appear to be a viable workaround for this
behaviour so simply disable HIGHPTE for all Xen guests.

way if a system hangs we can NMI the machine and get a
backtrace from all the cpus.
Version 2: Use x86_platform driver mechanism for nmi init, per
Ingo's suggestion.
Version 3: Clean up Ingo's nits.

kmemcheck: Test the full object in kmemcheck_is_obj_initialized()
Split amd,p6,intel into separate files so that we can easily deal with
CONFIG_CPU_SUP_* things, needed to make things build now that perf_event.c
relies on symbols from amd.c

During switching virtual counters there is access to perfctr msrs. If
the counter is not available this fails due to an invalid
address. This patch fixes this.

Multiple virtual counters share one physical counter. The reservation
of virtual counters fails due to duplicate allocation of the same
counter. The counters are already reserved. Thus, virtual counter
reservation may removed at all. This also makes the code easier.

Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity
such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance
counter. There is a warning in the code for this case.
The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't
collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your
platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the
desired event by editing the
/usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events
file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact
your hardware or BIOS vendor.

This patch generates a warning if a counter is already active.
Implemented for AMD and P6 models. P4 is not supported.

IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting
either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be
produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic
op counter value with each sample.
This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op
counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are
randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value.
There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then
the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized
in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the
maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt).
The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for
pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory
system.

This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for
pseudo-random number generation for IBS.
For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in
the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data
caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs.
The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low
overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and
it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short
cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior.
The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS
capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The
bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX),
but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS.
The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic
op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature
(ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is
available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles.
In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by
checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the
feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending
on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current
opcontrol is compatible.
