Pull a Xen fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"It is a bug-fix when we run the initial PV guest on a AMD K8 machine
and have CONFIG_AMD_NUMA enabled and detect the NUMA topology from the
Northbridge.
We end up in the situation where the initial domain gets too much
information and gets confused and crashes - the fix is to restrict the
domain to get the information - and we do it by just disabling NUMA on
the PV guest (the hypervisor is still able to do its proper NUMA
allocations of guests).
It is OK to disable the PV guest from accessing NUMA data as right now
we do not inject any NUMA node information to the PV guests. When we
do get to that point, then this patch will have to be reverted."
* Disable PV NUMA support as we do not do anything with it (yet) and it
can cause bootup crashes on certain AMD machines.

CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.
This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.
This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.
Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.
For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.
Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.
This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.
This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.
NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
patches are not yet present.
In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:
"we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).
This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.
This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)
We have this dump then:

To emulate level triggered interrupts, add a resample option to
KVM_IRQFD. When specified, a new resamplefd is provided that notifies
the user when the irqchip has been resampled by the VM. This may, for
instance, indicate an EOI. Also in this mode, posting of an interrupt
through an irqfd only asserts the interrupt. On resampling, the
interrupt is automatically de-asserted prior to user notification.
This enables level triggered interrupts to be posted and re-enabled
from vfio with no userspace intervention.
All resampling irqfds can make use of a single irq source ID, so we

Preemption is disabled between kernel_fpu_begin/end() and as such
it is not a good idea to use these routines in kvm_load/put_guest_fpu()
which can be very far apart.
kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() routines are already called with
preemption disabled and KVM already uses the preempt notifier to save
the guest fpu state using kvm_put_guest_fpu().
So introduce __kernel_fpu_begin/end() routines which don't touch
preemption and use them instead of kernel_fpu_begin/end()
for KVM's use model of saving/restoring guest FPU state.
Also with this change (and with eagerFPU model), fix the host cr0.TS vm-exit
state in the case of VMX. For eagerFPU case, host cr0.TS is always clear.
So no need to worry about it. For the traditional lazyFPU restore case,
change the cr0.TS bit for the host state during vm-exit to be always clear
and cr0.TS bit is set in the __vmx_load_host_state() when the FPU
(guest FPU or the host task's FPU) state is not active. This ensures
that the host/guest FPU state is properly saved, restored
during context-switch and with interrupts (using irq_fpu_usable()) not
stomping on the active FPU state.

Signal handling contains a bunch of accesses to individual user space
items, which causes an excessive number of STAC and CLAC
instructions. Instead, let get/put_user_try ... get/put_user_catch()
contain the STAC and CLAC instructions.
This means that get/put_user_try no longer nests, and furthermore that
it is no longer legal to use user space access functions other than
__get/put_user_ex() inside those blocks. However, these macros are
x86-specific anyway and are only used in the signal-handling paths; a
simple reordering of moving the larger subroutine calls out of the
try...catch blocks resolves that problem.

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to
userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the
performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new
instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.
This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP
feature is enabled. It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the
SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one
conditional.

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.6-rc6-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
- Fix M2P batching re-using the incorrect structure field.
In v3.5 we added batching for M2P override (Machine Frame Number ->
Physical Frame Number), but the original MFN was saved in an
incorrect structure - and we would oops/restore when restoring with
the old MFN.
- Disable BIOS SMP MP table search.
A bootup issue that we had ignored until we found that on DL380 G6 it
was needed.

While building the SUSE kernel packages, which build the scripts,
make clean, and then build everything, we have been running into spurious
build failures. We tracked them down to a simple dependency issue:
$ make mrproper
CLEAN arch/x86/tools
CLEAN scripts/basic
$ cp patches/config/x86_64/desktop .config
$ make archscripts
HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs
/bin/sh: scripts/basic/fixdep: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [arch/x86/tools/relocs] Error 1
make[2]: *** [archscripts] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
This was introduced by commit
6520fe55 (x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs),
which added the archscripts dependency to archprepare.
This patch adds the scripts_basic dependency to the x86 archscripts.

we only use that to tell copy_thread() done by syscall from that
done by kernel_thread(). However, it's easier to do simply by
checking PF_KTHREAD in thread flags.

TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME will work in precisely the same way; all that
is achieved by TIF_IRET is appearing that there's some work to be
done, so we end up on the iret exit path. Just use NOTIFY_RESUME.
And for execve() do that in 32bit start_thread(), not sys_execve()
itself.

'ac' essentially reconstructs the 'access' variable we already
have, except for the PFERR_PRESENT_MASK and PFERR_RSVD_MASK. As
these are not used by callees, just use 'access' directly.

Instead of branchy code depending on level, gpte.ps, and mmu configuration,
prepare everything in a bitmap during mode changes and look it up during

The page table walk is coded as an infinite loop, with a special
case on the last pte.
Code it as an ordinary loop with a termination condition on the last
pte (large page or walk length exhausted), and put the last pte handling
code after the loop where it belongs.

walk_addr_generic() permission checks are a maze of branchy code, which is
performed four times per lookup. It depends on the type of access, efer.nxe,
cr0.wp, cr4.smep, and in the near future, cr4.smap.
Optimize this away by precalculating all variants and storing them in a
bitmap. The bitmap is recalculated when rarely-changing variables change
(cr0, cr4) and is indexed by the often-changing variables (page fault error
code, pte access permissions).
The permission check is moved to the end of the loop, otherwise an SMEP
fault could be reported as a false positive, when PDE.U=1 but PTE.U=0.
Noted by Xiao Guangrong.
The result is short, branch-free code.

While unspecified, the behaviour of Intel processors is to first
perform the page table walk, then, if the walk was successful, to
atomically update the accessed and dirty bits of walked paging elements.
While we are not required to follow this exactly, doing so will allow us
to perform the access permissions check after the walk is complete, rather
than after each walk step.
(the tricky case is SMEP: a zero in any pte's U bit makes the referenced
page a supervisor page, so we can't fault on a one bit during the walk
itself).

If nx is disabled, then is gpte[63] is set we will hit a reserved
bit set fault before checking permissions; so we can ignore the
setting of efer.nxe.

gpte_access() computes the access permissions of a guest pte and also
write-protects clean gptes. This is wrong when we are servicing a
write fault (since we'll be setting the dirty bit momentarily) but
correct when instantiating a speculative spte, or when servicing a
read fault (since we'll want to trap a following write in order to
set the dirty bit).
It doesn't seem to hurt in practice, but in order to make the code
readable, push the write protection out of gpte_access() and into
a new protect_clean_gpte() which is called explicitly when needed.
