<id>fcc8487d477a3452a1d0ccbdd4c5e0e1e3cb8bed</id>
<content type='text'>
Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.

In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
useless to have an exhaustive list.

After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now
exported (with make headers_install_all):
asm-arc/kvm_para.h
asm-arc/ucontext.h
asm-blackfin/shmparam.h
asm-blackfin/ucontext.h

Note that I have removed from this list the files which are generated in every
exported directories (like .install or .install.cmd).

Thanks to Julien Floret &lt;julien.floret@6wind.com&gt; for the tip to get all
subdirs with a pure makefile command.

For the record, note that exported files for asm directories are a mix of
files listed by:
 - include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm;
 - arch/&lt;arch&gt;/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild;
 - arch/&lt;arch&gt;/include/asm/Kbuild.

   - support for userspace virtual interrupt controller (slower, but

     Pi 3)

  MIPS:
   - basic support for hardware virtualization (ImgTec P5600/P6600/I6400

  PPC:
   - in-kernel acceleration for VFIO

  s390:
   - support for guests without storage keys

Its value has never changed; we might as well make it part of the ABI instead
of using the return value of KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO).

Because PPC does not always make MMIO available, the code has to be made
dependent on CONFIG_KVM_MMIO rather than KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_PAGE_OFFSET.

In order to simplify adding exit reasons in the future,
the array of exit reason names is now also sorted by
exit reason code.

<title>x86/arch_prctl: Add ARCH_[GET|SET]_CPUID</title>

Intel supports faulting on the CPUID instruction beginning with Ivy Bridge.
When enabled, the processor will fault on attempts to execute the CPUID
instruction with CPL&gt;0. Exposing this feature to userspace will allow a
ptracer to trap and emulate the CPUID instruction.

When supported, this feature is controlled by toggling bit 0 of
MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES. It is documented in detail in Section 2.3.2 of
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=243991

Implement a new pair of arch_prctls, available on both x86-32 and x86-64.

ARCH_GET_CPUID: Returns the current CPUID state, either 0 if CPUID faulting
    is enabled (and thus the CPUID instruction is not available) or 1 if
    CPUID faulting is not enabled.

ARCH_SET_CPUID: Set the CPUID state to the second argument. If
    cpuid_enabled is 0 CPUID faulting will be activated, otherwise it will
    be deactivated. Returns ENODEV if CPUID faulting is not supported on
    this system.

The state of the CPUID faulting flag is propagated across forks, but reset
upon exec.

Don't enable auto-eoi if the hypervisor recommends otherwise. This will
enable vAPIC functionality if available.
