do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
of configuration in the current code.
This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
used.
This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
somewhat working.

Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case
pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations,
and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the
pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path.
As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the
pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a
page table page.
After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and
depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance
and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots).
Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from
the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

Impact: find right nr_irqs_gsi on some systems.
One test-system has gap between gsi's:
[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x04] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0])
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 4, version 0, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23
[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x05] address[0xfeafd000] gsi_base[48])
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 5, version 0, address 0xfeafd000, GSI 48-54
[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x06] address[0xfeafc000] gsi_base[56])
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[2]: apic_id 6, version 0, address 0xfeafc000, GSI 56-62
...
[ 0.000000] nr_irqs_gsi: 38
So nr_irqs_gsi is not right. some irq for MSI will overwrite with io_apic.
need to get that with acpi_probe_gsi when acpi io_apic is used

For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the
monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1].
This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the
monitored address was recently written to.

Impact: fix to enable APIC for AMD Fam10h on chipsets with a missing/b0rked
ACPI MP table (MADT)
Booting a 32bit kernel on an AMD Fam10h CPU running on chipsets with
missing/b0rked MP table leads to a hang pretty early in the boot process
due to the APIC not being initialized. Fix that by falling back to the
default APIC base address in 32bit code, as it is done in the 64bit
codepath.

[
mingo@elte.hu: these fixes are a subset of changes cherry-picked from:
git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/voyager-2.6.git
They fix various problems that recent x86 changes caused in the Voyager
subarchitecture: both APIC changes and cpumask changes and certain
cleanups caused subarch assumptions to break.
Most of these changes are obsolete as the subarch code has been removed
from the x86 development tree - but we merge them upstream to make Voyager
build and boot.

Impact: split out a function, no functional change
Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on. For
various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time. It does,
however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no
pressing need to reload the gdt.
Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call
it directly.

Impact: Optimization
One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
use those registers without restriction. This includes the function
argument registers, and several others.
This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly
performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
and need not use the compiler's calling convention.
Standard calling convention is:
arguments return scratch
x86-32 eax edx ecx eax ?
x86-64 rdi rsi rdx rcx rax r8 r9 r10 r11
The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return
register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).
Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.
The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is
particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.
XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention?

Impact: Optimization
Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments,
the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on
native.
On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling
convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return.
On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov".
This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument,
and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a
mov as appropriate.
At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the
pagetable entry conversion functions.
The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks
(2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).
