The current eventfd code assumes that when we have eventfd, we also have
irqfd for in-kernel interrupt delivery. This is not necessarily true. On
PPC we don't have an in-kernel irqchip yet, but we can still support easily
support eventfd.

We can deliver certain interrupts, notably MSI,
from atomic context. Use kvm_set_irq_inatomic,
to implement an irq handler for msi.
This reduces the pressure on scheduler in case
where host and guest irq share a host cpu.

Prior to memory slot sorting this loop compared all of the user memory
slots for overlap with new entries. With memory slot sorting, we're
just checking some number of entries in the array that may or may not
be user slots. Instead, walk all the slots with kvm_for_each_memslot,
which has the added benefit of terminating early when we hit the first
empty slot, and skip comparison to private slots.

KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest.
One of the reasons for that is that the time between
1. ktime_get_ts(×pec);
2. rdtscll(tsc);
Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that
two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above.
The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances
executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...).
If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when
calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate
the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and
a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all
vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top
of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details.
Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs
and guest TSCs.
Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read
clock from userspace.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

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
reserve a new one for this interface.

vcpu mutex can be held for unlimited time so
taking it with mutex_lock on an ioctl is wrong:
one process could be passed a vcpu fd and
call this ioctl on the vcpu used by another process,
it will then be unkillable until the owner exits.
Call mutex_lock_killable instead and return status.
Note: mutex_lock_interruptible would be even nicer,
but I am not sure all users are prepared to handle EINTR
from these ioctls. They might misinterpret it as an error.
Cleanup paths expect a vcpu that can't be used by
any userspace so this will always succeed - catch bugs
by calling BUG_ON.
Catch callers that don't check return state by adding
__must_check.

The build error was caused by that builtin functions are calling

The patch fixes the build error by moving function __gfn_to_hva_memslot()

flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious. Mark them deprecated

If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.
This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

Currently, on a large vcpu guests, there is a high probability of
yielding to the same vcpu who had recently done a pause-loop exit or
cpu relax intercepted. Such a yield can lead to the vcpu spinning
again and hence degrade the performance.
The patchset keeps track of the pause loop exit/cpu relax interception
and gives chance to a vcpu which:
(a) Has not done pause loop exit or cpu relax intercepted at all
(probably he is preempted lock-holder)
(b) Was skipped in last iteration because it did pause loop exit or
cpu relax intercepted, and probably has become eligible now
(next eligible lock holder)

Noting pause loop exited vcpu or cpu relax intercepted helps in
filtering right candidate to yield. Wrong selection of vcpu;
i.e., a vcpu that just did a pl-exit or cpu relax intercepted may
contribute to performance degradation.
