commit cb214ede7657db458fd0b2a25ea0b28dbf900ebc upstream.

When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel,
there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could
result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss.

The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical
mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default
setting.

This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or
"nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system
without requiring manual workarounds.

The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table.
As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the
control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec,
chapter 2.9.

Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode
enabled:

When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL:

1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical
   or xapic phys driver at first.

2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode.

3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe()
   will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode.
   Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to
   take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT
   indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check
   FADT PHYSICAL.

Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the
problem.

<title>x86/irq/ioapic: Check for valid irq_cfg pointer in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt</title>

Posting this patch to fix an issue concerning sparse irq's that
I raised a while back.  There was discussion about adding
refcounting to sparse irqs (to fix other potential race
conditions), but that does not appear to have been addressed
yet.  This covers the only issue of this type that I've
encountered in this area.

A NULL pointer dereference can occur in
smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() if we haven't yet setup the
irq_cfg pointer in the irq_desc.irq_data.chip_data.

In create_irq_nr() there is a window where we have set
vector_irq in __assign_irq_vector(), but not yet called
irq_set_chip_data() to set the irq_cfg pointer.

Should an IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR hit the cpu in question during
this time, smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() will attempt to
process the aforementioned irq, but panic when accessing
irq_cfg.

Only continue processing the irq if irq_cfg is non-NULL.

<title>x86, apic: fix broken legacy interrupts in the logical apic mode</title>

<content type='text'>
Recent commit 332afa656e76458ee9cf0f0d123016a0658539e4 cleaned up
a workaround that updates irq_cfg domain for legacy irq's that
are handled by the IO-APIC. This was assuming that the recent
changes in assign_irq_vector() were sufficient to remove the workaround.

But this broke couple of AMD platforms. One of them seems to be
sending interrupts to the offline cpu's, resulting in spurious
"No irq handler for vector xx (irq -1)" messages when those cpu's come online.
And the other platform seems to always send the interrupt to the last logical
CPU (cpu-7). Recent changes had an unintended side effect of using only logical
cpu-0 in the IO-APIC RTE (during boot for the legacy interrupts) and this
broke the legacy interrupts not getting routed to the cpu-7 on the AMD
platform, resulting in a boot hang.

For now, reintroduce the removed workaround, (essentially not allowing the
vector to change for legacy irq's when io-apic starts to handle the irq. Which
also addressed the uninteded sife effect of just specifying cpu-0 in the
IO-APIC RTE for those irq's during boot).

<title>x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disabling irqs</title>

<id>1d44b30f35a9873a65b320dd5300088fa995fd94</id>
<content type='text'>
In the current kernel, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not always
cleared when a CPU is offlined. If the CPU that has the disabled
irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged again, __setup_vector_irq()
hits invalid irq vector and may crash.

This bug can be reproduced as following;

 # echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
 # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts     # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash

To fix this problem, this patch clears vector_irq in
__fixup_irqs() when the CPU is offlined.

This also reverts commit f6175f5bfb4c, which partially fixes
this bug by clearing vector in __clear_irq_vector(). But in
environments with IOMMU IRQ remapper, it could fail because
cfg-&gt;domain doesn't contain offlined CPUs. With this patch, the
fix in __clear_irq_vector() can be reverted because every
vector_irq is already cleared in __fixup_irqs() on offlined CPUs.

<pre>
In the current kernel, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not always
cleared when a CPU is offlined. If the CPU that has the disabled
irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged again, __setup_vector_irq()
hits invalid irq vector and may crash.

This bug can be reproduced as following;

 # echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
 # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts     # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash

To fix this problem, this patch clears vector_irq in
__fixup_irqs() when the CPU is offlined.

This also reverts commit f6175f5bfb4c, which partially fixes
this bug by clearing vector in __clear_irq_vector(). But in
environments with IOMMU IRQ remapper, it could fail because
cfg-&gt;domain doesn't contain offlined CPUs. With this patch, the
fix in __clear_irq_vector() can be reverted because every
vector_irq is already cleared in __fixup_irqs() on offlined CPUs.

Pull KVM updates from Avi Kivity:
 "Highlights include
  - full big real mode emulation on pre-Westmere Intel hosts (can be
    disabled with emulate_invalid_guest_state=0)
  - relatively small ppc and s390 updates
  - PCID/INVPCID support in guests
  - EOI avoidance; 3.6 guests should perform better on 3.6 hosts on
    interrupt intensive workloads)
  - Lockless write faults during live migration
  - EPT accessed/dirty bits support for new Intel processors"

Fix up conflicts in:
 - Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt:

   Stupid subchapter numbering, added next to each other.

 - arch/powerpc/kvm/booke_interrupts.S:

   PPC asm changes clashing with the KVM fixes

 - arch/s390/include/asm/sigp.h, arch/s390/kvm/sigp.c:

   Duplicated commits through the kvm tree and the s390 tree, with
   subsequent edits in the KVM tree.
