Commit 1e02ce4ccc ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4")
introduced CR4 shadows.
These shadows are initialized in early boot code. The commit missed
initialization for 64-bit PV(H) guests that this patch adds.

Commit d524165cb8 ("x86/apic: Check x2apic early") tests X2APIC_ENABLE
bit of MSR_IA32_APICBASE when CONFIG_X86_X2APIC is off and panics
the kernel when this bit is set.
Xen's PV guests will pass this MSR read to the hypervisor which will
return its version of the MSR, where this bit might be set. Make sure
we clear it before returning MSR value to the caller.

Pull locking fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Two fixes: the paravirt spin_unlock() corruption/crash fix, and an
rtmutex NULL dereference crash fix"
* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/spinlocks/paravirt: Fix memory corruption on unlock
locking/rtmutex: Avoid a NULL pointer dereference on deadlock
Paravirt spinlock clears slowpath flag after doing unlock.
As explained by Linus currently it does:
prev = *lock;
add_smp(&lock->tickets.head, TICKET_LOCK_INC);
/* add_smp() is a full mb() */
if (unlikely(lock->tickets.tail & TICKET_SLOWPATH_FLAG))
__ticket_unlock_slowpath(lock, prev);
which is *exactly* the kind of things you cannot do with spinlocks,
because after you've done the "add_smp()" and released the spinlock
for the fast-path, you can't access the spinlock any more. Exactly
because a fast-path lock might come in, and release the whole data
structure.
Linus suggested that we should not do any writes to lock after unlock(),
and we can move slowpath clearing to fastpath lock.
So this patch implements the fix with:
1. Moving slowpath flag to head (Oleg):
Unlocked locks don't care about the slowpath flag; therefore we can keep
it set after the last unlock, and clear it again on the first (try)lock.
-- this removes the write after unlock. note that keeping slowpath flag would
result in unnecessary kicks.
By moving the slowpath flag from the tail to the head ticket we also avoid
the need to access both the head and tail tickets on unlock.
2. use xadd to avoid read/write after unlock that checks the need for
unlock_kick (Linus):
We further avoid the need for a read-after-release by using xadd;
the prev head value will include the slowpath flag and indicate if we
need to do PV kicking of suspended spinners -- on modern chips xadd
isn't (much) more expensive than an add + load.

Pull x86 perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This series tightens up RDPMC permissions: currently even highly
sandboxed x86 execution environments (such as seccomp) have permission
to execute RDPMC, which may leak various perf events / PMU state such
as timing information and other CPU execution details.
This 'all is allowed' RDPMC mode is still preserved as the
(non-default) /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 setting. The new default is
that RDPMC access is only allowed if a perf event is mmap-ed (which is
needed to correctly interpret RDPMC counter values in any case).
As a side effect of these changes CR4 handling is cleaned up in the
x86 code and a shadow copy of the CR4 value is added.
The extra CR4 manipulation adds ~ <50ns to the context switch cost
between rdpmc-capable and rdpmc-non-capable mms"

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct
(write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately,
the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code,
which only a small subset of users actually wanted.
This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4
exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits,
cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

simpler mechanisms that works.
The scratch pages did not ensure that the page was not in use. In
particular, the foreign page could still be in use by hardware. If
the guest reused the frame the hardware could read or write that
frame.
The m2p override did not handle the same frame being granted by two
different grant references. Trying an M2P override lookup in this
case is impossible.
With the m2p override removed, the grant map/unmap for the kernel

Using the native code here can't work properly, as the hypervisor would
normally have cleared the two reason bits by the time Dom0 gets to see
the NMI (if passed to it at all). There's a shared info field for this,
and there's an existing hook to use - just fit the two together. This
is particularly relevant so that NMIs intended to be handled by APEI /
GHES actually make it to the respective handler.
Note that the hook can (and should) be used irrespective of whether
being in Dom0, as accessing port 0x61 in a DomU would be even worse,
while the shared info field would just hold zero all the time. Note
further that hardware NMI handling for PVH doesn't currently work
anyway due to missing code in the hypervisor (but it is expected to
work the native rather than the PV way).

With the virtual mapped linear p2m list the post-init mmu operations
must be used for setting up the p2m mappings, as in case of
CONFIG_FLATMEM the init routines may trigger BUGs.
paging_init() sets up all infrastructure needed to switch to the
post-init mmu ops done by xen_post_allocator_init(). With the virtual
mapped linear p2m list we need some mmu ops during setup of this list,
so we have to switch to the correct mmu ops as soon as possible.
The p2m list is usable from the beginning, just expansion requires to
have established the new linear mapping. So the call of
xen_remap_memory() had to be introduced, but this is not due to the
mmu ops requiring this.
Summing it up: calling xen_post_allocator_init() not directly after
paging_init() was conceptually wrong in the beginning, it just didn't
matter up to now as no functions used between the two calls needed
some critical mmu ops (e.g. alloc_pte). This has changed now, so I
corrected it.

as the 4 lower entries.
This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode.
Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards
which now have to use uncached accesses.
OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and
the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration
for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of
the ABI.
This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces
tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default
cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0). The tables
are statically initialized with values being compatible to old
processors and current usage. As soon as the PAT MSR is changed
(or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed
accordingly. Requests of mappings with special cache modes are
always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a
fallback to a compatible but slower mode.
Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:
- capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with
full PAT support
- processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as
today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for
some pages
- reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode
Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems,
plus other smaller fixes"

Introduce two helper functions to safely read and write unsigned long
values from or to memory when the access may fault because the mapping
is non-present or read-only.
These helpers can be used instead of open coded uses of __get_user()
and __put_user() avoiding the need to do casts to fix sparse warnings.
Use the helpers in page.h and p2m.c. This will fix the sparse
warnings when doing "make C=1".

Instead of checking at each call of set_phys_to_machine() whether a
new p2m page has to be allocated due to writing an entry in a large
invalid or identity area, just map those areas read only and react
to a page fault on write by allocating the new page.
This change will make the common path with no allocation much
faster as it only requires a single write of the new mfn instead
of walking the address translation tables and checking for the
special cases.

At start of the day the Xen hypervisor presents a contiguous mfn list
to a pv-domain. In order to support sparse memory this mfn list is
accessed via a three level p2m tree built early in the boot process.
Whenever the system needs the mfn associated with a pfn this tree is
used to find the mfn.
Instead of using a software walked tree for accessing a specific mfn
list entry this patch is creating a virtual address area for the
entire possible mfn list including memory holes. The holes are
covered by mapping a pre-defined page consisting only of "invalid
mfn" entries. Access to a mfn entry is possible by just using the
virtual base address of the mfn list and the pfn as index into that
list. This speeds up the (hot) path of determining the mfn of a
pfn.

When the physical memory configuration is initialized the p2m entries
for not pouplated memory pages are set to "invalid". As those pages
are beyond the hypervisor built p2m list the p2m tree has to be
extended.
This patch delays processing the extra memory related p2m entries
during the boot process until some more basic memory management
functions are callable. This removes the need to create new p2m
entries until virtual memory management is available.

The m2p overrides are used to be able to find the local pfn for a
foreign mfn mapped into the domain. They are used by driver backends
having to access frontend data.
As this functionality isn't used in early boot it makes no sense to
initialize the m2p override functions very early. It can be done
later without doing any harm, removing the need for allocating memory
via extend_brk().
While at it make some m2p override functions static as they are only
used internally.

Early in the boot process the memory layout of a pv-domain is changed
to match the E820 map (either the host one for Dom0 or the Xen one)
regarding placement of RAM and PCI holes. This requires removing memory
pages initially located at positions not suitable for RAM and adding
them later at higher addresses where no restrictions apply.
To be able to operate on the hypervisor supported p2m list until a
virtual mapped linear p2m list can be constructed, remapping must
be delayed until virtual memory management is initialized, as the
initial p2m list can't be extended unlimited at physical memory
initialization time due to it's fixed structure.
A further advantage is the reduction in complexity and code volume as
we don't have to be careful regarding memory restrictions during p2m
updates.

In arch/x86/xen/p2m.c three different allocation functions for
obtaining a memory page are used: extend_brk(), alloc_bootmem_align()
or __get_free_page(). Which of those functions is used depends on the
progress of the boot process of the system.
Introduce a common allocation routine selecting the to be called
allocation routine dynamically based on the boot progress. This allows
moving initialization steps without having to care about changing

This adds CONFIG_X86_VSYSCALL_EMULATION, guarded by CONFIG_EXPERT.
Turning it off completely disables vsyscall emulation, saving ~3.5k
for vsyscall_64.c, 4k for vsyscall_emu_64.S (the fake vsyscall
page), some tiny amount of core mm code that supports a gate area,
and possibly 4k for a wasted pagetable. The latter is because the
