Some x86 platforms like Intel MID platforms don't have i8042 controllers,
and i8042 driver's probe to some legacy IO ports may hang the MID
processor. With this hook, i8042 driver can runtime check and skip the
probe when the pretection fail which also saves some probe time
[ hpa note: this is currently a compile-time check, which breaks the
i386 allyesconfig build. This patch series thus does fix a regression. ]

rbtree: Undo augmented trees performance damage and regression
x86, Calgary: Limit the max PHB number to 256
|

enter_lmode() and exit_lmode() modify the guest's EFER.LMA before calling
vmx_set_efer(). However, the latter function depends on the value of EFER.LMA
to determine whether MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE needs reloading, via
vmx_load_host_state(). With EFER.LMA changing under its feet, it took the
wrong choice and corrupted userspace's %gs.
This causes 32-on-64 host userspace to fault.
Fix not touching EFER.LMA; instead ask vmx_set_efer() to change it.

Reimplement augmented RB-trees without sprinkling extra branches
all over the RB-tree code (which lives in the scheduler hot path).
This approach is 'borrowed' from Fabio's BFQ implementation and
relies on traversing the rebalance path after the RB-tree-op to
correct the heap property for insertion/removal and make up for
the damage done by the tree rotations.
For insertion the rebalance path is trivially that from the new
node upwards to the root, for removal it is that from the deepest
node in the path from the to be removed node that will still
be around after the removal.

Before we had a generic breakpoint layer, x86 used to send a
sigtrap for any debug event that happened in userspace,
except if it was caused by lazy dr7 switches.
Currently we only send such signal for single step or breakpoint
events.
However, there are three other kind of debug exceptions:
- debug register access detected: trigger an exception if the
next instruction touches the debug registers. We don't use
it.
- task switch, but we don't use tss.
- icebp/int01 trap. This instruction (0xf1) is undocumented and
generates an int 1 exception. Unlike single step through TF
flag, it doesn't set the single step origin of the exception
in dr6.
icebp then used to be reported in userspace using trap signals
but this have been incidentally broken with the new breakpoint
code. Reenable this. Since this is the only debug event that
doesn't set anything in dr6, this is all we have to check.
This fixes a regression in Wine where World Of Warcraft got broken
as it uses this for software protection checks purposes. And
probably other apps do.

Yannick found that video does not work with 2.6.34. The cause of this
bug was that the BIOS had assigned the wrong range to the PCI bridge
above the video device. Before 2.6.34 the kernel would have shrunk
the size of the bridge window, but since
d65245c PCI: don't shrink bridge resources
the kernel will avoid shrinking BIOS ranges.
So zero out the old range if we fail to claim it at boot time; this will
cause us to allocate a new range at startup, restoring the 2.6.34
behavior.

When I introduced the global variable gsi_end I thought gsi_end on
io_apics was one past the end of the gsi range for the io_apic. After
it was pointed out the the range on io_apics was inclusive I changed
my global variable to match. That was a big mistake. Inclusive
semantics without a range start cannot describe the case when no gsi's
are allocated. Describing the case where no gsi's are allocated is
important in sfi.c and mpparse.c so that we can assign gsi numbers
instead of blindly copying the gsi assignments the BIOS has done as we
do in the acpi case.
To keep from getting the global variable confused with the gsi range
end rename it gsi_top.
To allow describing the case where no gsi's are allocated have gsi_top
be one place the highest gsi number seen in the system.
This fixes an off by one bug in sfi.c:

If cr0.wp=0, we have to allow the guest kernel access to a page with pte.w=0.
We do that by setting spte.w=1, since the host cr0.wp must remain set so the
host can write protect pages. Once we allow write access, we must remove
user access otherwise we mistakenly allow the user to write the page.

Always invalidate spte and flush TLBs when changing page size, to make
sure different sized translations for the same address are never cached
in a CPU's TLB.
Currently the only case where this occurs is when a non-leaf spte pointer is
overwritten by a leaf, large spte entry. This can happen after dirty
logging is disabled on a memslot, for example.

The core suspend/resume code is run from stop_machine on CPU0 but
parts of the suspend/resume machinery (including xen_arch_resume) are
run on whichever CPU happened to schedule the xenwatch kernel thread.
As part of the non-core resume code xen_arch_resume is called in order
to restart the timer tick on non-boot processors. The boot processor
itself is taken care of by core timekeeping code.
xen_arch_resume uses smp_call_function which does not call the given
function on the current processor. This means that we can end up with
one CPU not receiving timer ticks if the xenwatch thread happened to
be scheduled on CPU > 0.
Use on_each_cpu instead of smp_call_function to ensure the timer tick
is resumed everywhere.

The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific
code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at
least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were
over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was
showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more
often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though
harder to expose.
The issues were:
- group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path
- cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing
actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot
update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In
case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back.
- in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called
and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg.
But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch
HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you
could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which
did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1.
The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems.
First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the
transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is
necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all
event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events.
Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in
group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations
symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction
and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag.
With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned
system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

This reverts commit 0ac0c0d0f837c499afd02a802f9cf52d3027fa3b, which
caused cross-architecture build problems for all the wrong reasons.
IA64 already added its own version of __node_random(), but the fact is,
there is nothing architectural about the function, and the original
commit was just badly done. Revert it, since no fix is forthcoming.
