[fix endian bug]
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Haswell and newer Intel CPUs have support for RTM, and in that case DR6.RTM is
not fixed to 1 and DR7.RTM is not fixed to zero. That is not the case in the
current KVM implementation. This bug is apparent only if the MOV-DR instruction
is emulated or the host also debugs the guest.
This patch is a partial fix which enables DR6.RTM and DR7.RTM to be cleared and
set respectively. It also sets DR6.RTM upon every debug exception. Obviously,
it is not a complete fix, as debugging of RTM is still unsupported.

The "uptime" trace clock added in:
commit 8aacf017b0
tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies
has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
(u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds. An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).
Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).

Following on the patch "ACPI / processor: Check if LAPIC is present

on ARM64 platform, GIC is used instead of local APIC, so acpi_lapic

When the windows8 related backlight problems became evident, 2 approaches
were follow in parallel, one was to stop claiming to be windows 8 / 2012,
the other was to tell acpi_video to stop registering a backlight driver.
I've read all the threads and it seems that which approach ended up being
applied to which model laptop was never really a concious decision (AFAIK):
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60682
So lets move all the models which are only on the win8 blacklist because of
brightness issues to the use_native_backlight list, which is the smaller
hammer to use to solve the backlight issues.
Making this change is esp. attractive now that 3.16 has
video.use_native_brightness=1 by default. If that new default does not get
reverted because of regressions, then we can drop all the models
with a use_native_backlight quirk, greatly reducing the number of models we've
a quirk for.

In various scenarious userspace will respond to brightness up/down keypresses
by increasing/decreasing the backlight brightness itself. If the kernel then
also changes the brightness this results in the brightness having changed 2
steps for a single keypress which is undesirable. See e.g. :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/527157http://askubuntu.com/questions/173921/why-does-my-thinkpad-brightness-control-skip-steps
This commit delays responding to brightness up/down keypresses by 100 ms and
if userspace in that time responds by changing the backlight itself, cancels
the kernels own handling of these keypresses, fixing the 2 steps issue.

Currently, ondemand calculates the target frequency proportional to load
using the formula:
Target frequency = C * load
where C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100
Though, in many cases, the minimum available frequency is pretty high and
the above calculation introduces a dead band from load 0 to
100 * policy->cpuinfo.min_freq / policy->cpuinfo.max_freq where the target
frequency is always calculated to less than policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and
the minimum frequency is selected.
For example: on Intel i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 1600000
and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 3400000 (without turbo). Thus, the CPU
starts to scale up at a load above 47.
On quad core 1500MHz Krait the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 384000
and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 1512000. Thus, the CPU starts to scale
at load above 25.
Change the calculation of target frequency to eliminate the above effect using
the formula:
Target frequency = A + B * load
where A = policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and
B = (policy->cpuinfo.max_freq - policy->cpuinfo->min_freq) / 100
This will map load values 0 to 100 linearly to cpuinfo.min_freq to
cpuinfo.max_freq.
Also, use the CPUFREQ_RELATION_C in __cpufreq_driver_target to select the
closest frequency in frequency_table. This is necessary to avoid selection
of minimum frequency only when load equals to 0. It will also help for selection
of frequencies using a more 'fair' criterion.
Tables below show the difference in selected frequency for specific values
of load without and with this patch. On Intel i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz:

the cpu state settable by user space.
This is necessary to avoid races in s390 SIGP/reset handling which
happen because some SIGPs are handled in QEMU, while others are
handled in the kernel. Together with the busy conditions as return
value of SIGP races happen especially in areas like starting and
stopping of CPUs. (For example, there is a program 'cpuplugd', that
runs on several s390 distros which does automatic onlining and
offlining on cpus.)
As soon as the MPSTATE interface is used, user space takes complete
control of the cpu states. Otherwise the kernel will use the old way.
Therefore, the new kernel continues to work fine with old QEMUs.

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140715' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next
This series enables the "KVM_(S|G)ET_MP_STATE" ioctls on s390 to make
the cpu state settable by user space.
This is necessary to avoid races in s390 SIGP/reset handling which
happen because some SIGPs are handled in QEMU, while others are
handled in the kernel. Together with the busy conditions as return
value of SIGP races happen especially in areas like starting and
stopping of CPUs. (For example, there is a program 'cpuplugd', that
runs on several s390 distros which does automatic onlining and
offlining on cpus.)
As soon as the MPSTATE interface is used, user space takes complete
control of the cpu states. Otherwise the kernel will use the old way.
Therefore, the new kernel continues to work fine with old QEMUs.
We should advertise all capabilities, including those that can
be enabled.

Let's document that this is a capability that may be enabled per-vm.

Capabilities can be enabled on a vcpu or (since recently) on a vm. Document
this and note for the existing capabilites whether they are per-vcpu or
per-vm.

We can get rid of the tasklet used for waking up a VCPU in the hrtimer
code but wakeup the VCPU directly.

Let's move the vcpu wakeup code to a central point.
We should set the vcpu->preempted flag only if the target is actually sleeping
and before the real wakeup happens. Otherwise the preempted flag might be set,
when not necessary. This may result in immediate reschedules after schedule()
in some scenarios.
The wakeup code doesn't require the local_int.lock to be held.
