<content type='text'>
Per Hyper-V specification (and as required by Hyper-V-aware guests),
SynIC provides 4 per-vCPU timers.  Each timer is programmed via a pair
of MSRs, and signals expiration by delivering a special format message
to the configured SynIC message slot and triggering the corresponding
synthetic interrupt.

Note: as implemented by this patch, all periodic timers are "lazy"
(i.e. if the vCPU wasn't scheduled for more than the timer period the
timer events are lost), regardless of the corresponding configuration
MSR.  If deemed necessary, the "catch up" mode (the timer period is
shortened until the timer catches up) will be implemented later.

Changes v2:
* Use remainder to calculate periodic timer expiration time

This struct is required for Hyper-V SynIC timers implementation inside KVM
and for upcoming Hyper-V VMBus support by userspace(QEMU). So place it into
Hyper-V UAPI header.

It is useless and we can use the function instead. Besides,
mcelog(8) hasn't managed to make use of it yet. So kill it.

Pull second batch of kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Four changes:

   - x86: work around two nasty cases where a benign exception occurs
     while another is being delivered.  The endless stream of exceptions
     causes an infinite loop in the processor, which not even NMIs or
     SMIs can interrupt; in the virt case, there is no possibility to
     exit to the host either.

   - x86: support for Skylake per-guest TSC rate.  Long supported by
     AMD, the patches mostly move things from there to common
     arch/x86/kvm/ code.

   - generic: remove local_irq_save/restore from the guest entry and
     exit paths when context tracking is enabled.  The patches are a few
     months old, but we discussed them again at kernel summit.  Andy
     will pick up from here and, in 4.5, try to remove it from the user
     entry/exit paths.

   - PPC: Two bug fixes, see merge commit 370289756becc for details"

It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite
stream of "alignment check" (#AC) exceptions.  This causes the
microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never receives
another interrupt.  The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the
effects (CVE-2015-5307).

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "First batch of KVM changes for 4.4.

  s390:
     A bunch of fixes and optimizations for interrupt and time handling.

  PPC:
     Mostly bug fixes.

  ARM:
     No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including:

      - a number of fixes for the arch-timer

      - introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers

      - a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite
        for IRQ forwarding)

      - some tracepoint improvements

      - a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers

      - some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state

  x86:
     Quite a few changes:

      - support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
        interrupts directly into vCPUs).  This introduces a new
        component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together.
        The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt
        forwarding as well.

      - more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic
        interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5.  These will let
        KVM expose Hyper-V devices.

      - nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for
        vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster

      - for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for
        clflushopt, clwb, pcommit

      - support for "split irqchip", i.e.  LAPIC in kernel +
        IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of
        the hypervisor

      - obligatory smattering of SMM fixes

      - on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten
        to not require help from the hypervisor"
