a8303aaf2b x86: Move APERF/MPERF into a X86_FEATURE
Move the APERFMPERF capacility into a X86_FEATURE flag so that it
can be used outside of the acpi cpufreq driver.

If we're looking to place a new task, we might as well find the
idlest position _now_, not 1 tick ago.

0ec9fab3d1 sched: Improve latencies and throughput
Make the idle balancer more agressive, to improve a
x264 encoding workload provided by Jason Garrett-Glaser:

 NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 252.82 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 250.69 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 245.76 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

 NO_NEXT_BUDDY LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 344.44 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 346.66 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 352.59 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

 NO_NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 425.75 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 425.45 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 422.49 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)

This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

78e7ed53c9 sched: Tweak wake_idx
When merging select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self() we lost
the use of wake_idx, restore that and set them to 0 to make wake
balancing more aggressive.

c88d591089 sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self()
The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
RT interaction.

To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().

Modify sched_balance_self() to:

  - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
    (it only called it for the top domain, but it should
     have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
    this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().

  - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
    both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
    WAKE invocations.

Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().

This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.

SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.

Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

80938332d8 x86: Increase MIN_GAP to include randomized stack
Currently we are not including randomized stack size when calculating
mmap_base address in arch_pick_mmap_layout for topdown case. This might
cause that mmap_base starts in the stack reserved area because stack is
randomized by 1GB for 64b (8MB for 32b) and the minimum gap is 128MB.

If the stack really grows down to mmap_base then we can get silent mmap
region overwrite by the stack values.

Let's include maximum stack randomization size into MIN_GAP which is
used as the low bound for the gap in mmap.

5367b6887e x86: Fix code patching for paravirt-alternatives on 486
As reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/511703> and
<http://bugs.debian.org/515982>, kernels with paravirt-alternatives
enabled crash in text_poke_early() on at least some 486-class
processors.

The problem is that text_poke_early() itself uses inline functions
affected by paravirt-alternatives and so will modify instructions that
have already been prefetched.  Pentium and later processors will
invalidate the prefetched instructions in this case, but 486-class
processors do not.

Change sync_core() to limit prefetching on 486-class (and 386-class)
processors, and move the call to sync_core() above the call to the
modifiable local_irq_restore().

fc06b8520b x86/tracing: comment need for atomic nop
The dynamic function tracer relys on the macro P6_NOP5 always being
an atomic NOP. If for some reason it is changed to be two operations
(like a nop2 nop3) it can faults within the kernel when the function
tracer modifies the code.

This patch adds a comment to note that the P6_NOPs are expected to
be atomic. This will hopefully prevent anyone from changing that.

3d53c27d05 KVM: Use thread debug register storage instead of kvm specific data
Instead of saving the debug registers from the processor to a kvm data
structure, rely in the debug registers stored in the thread structure.
This allows us not to save dr6 and dr7.

e9f4275732 KVM: PIT support for HPET legacy mode
When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer
interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer
is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or
the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is
accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit
hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date
since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit
timer.

The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to
0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual
value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later
reenablement.

3a624e29c7 KVM: VMX: Support Unrestricted Guest feature
"Unrestricted Guest" feature is added in the VMX specification.
Intel Westmere and onwards processors will support this feature.

    It allows kvm guests to run real mode and unpaged mode
code natively in the VMX mode when EPT is turned on. With the
unrestricted guest there is no need to emulate the guest real mode code
in the vm86 container or in the emulator. Also the guest big real mode
code works like native.

  The attached patch enhances KVM to use the unrestricted guest feature
if available on the processor. It also adds a new kernel/module
parameter to disable the unrestricted guest feature at the boot time.
