Profile_pc was broken when using paravirtualization because the
assumption the kernel was running at CPL 0 was violated, causing
bad logic to read a random value off the stack.
The only way to be in kernel lock functions is to be in kernel
code, so validate that assumption explicitly by checking the CS
value. We don't want to be fooled by BIOS / APM segments and
try to read those stacks, so only match KERNEL_CS.
I moved some stuff in segment.h to make it prettier.

VMI timer code. It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code. The backend
timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
hypervisors as well. So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

Add VMI SMP boot hook. We emulate a regular boot sequence and use the same
APIC IPI initiation, we just poke magic values to load into the CPU state when
the startup IPI is received, rather than having to jump through a real mode
trampoline.
This is all that was needed to get SMP to work.

I found a clever way to make the extra IOPL switching invisible to
non-paravirt compiles - since kernel_rpl is statically defined to be zero
there, and only non-zero rpl kernel have a problem restoring IOPL, as popf
does not restore IOPL flags unless run at CPL-0.

The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.
To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.

The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page
tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky. We need to
clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to
correctly copy the shadow.
We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as
they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which
makes shadowing them rather simple.
For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook
point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page,
and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool.
Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also
uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or
released.

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).
On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.
This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
channel management. Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
provide memory below 16M. So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA. Undo the modifications to
mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.
Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
switched off. It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
IA64/Altix).
In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
(like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
call. In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

This reverts commit e4f0ae0ea6.
It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree
that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one
(and that we also should clean it up a bit). And after that we need to
really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do
work.
The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all
(even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so). So
let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what
was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the
intent.
There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was
started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may
well contain the proper long-term fix.

i386 boot/compressed/relocs checks for absolute symbols and warns about
unexpected ones. If you build with modversions, you get ~2500 warnings
about __crc_<symbol>. These suckers are really absolute symbols - we
do _not_ want to modify them on relocation.
They are generated by genksyms - EXPORT_... generates a weak alias, then
genksyms produces an ld script with __crc_<symbol> = <checksum> and it's
fed to ld to produce the final object file. Their only use is to match
kernel and module at modprobe time; they _must_ be absolute.
boot/compressed/relocs has a whitelist of known absolute symbols, but
it doesn't know about __crc_... stuff. As the result, we get shitloads
of false positives on any ld(1) version.

When the world was a simple and static place setting up irqs was easy.
It sufficed to allocate a linux irq number and a find a free cpu
vector we could receive that linux irq on. In those days it was
a safe assumption that any allocated vector was actually in use
so after one global pass through all of the vectors we would have
none left.
These days things are much more dynamic with interrupt controllers
(in the form of MSI or MSI-X) appearing on plug in cards and linux
irqs appearing and disappearing. As these irqs come and go vectors
are allocated and freed, invalidating the ancient assumption that all
allocated vectors stayed in use forever.
So this patch modifies the vector allocator to walk through every
possible vector before giving up, and to check to see if a vector
is in use before assigning it. With these changes we stop leaking
freed vectors and it becomes possible to allocate and free irq vectors
all day long.
This changed was modeled after the vector allocator on x86_64 where
this limitation has already been removed. In essence we don't update
the static variables that hold the position of the last vector we
allocated until have successfully allocated another vector. This
allows us to detect if we have completed one complete scan through
all of the possible vectors.
