Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- a fix for the kexec/purgatory regression which was introduced in the
merge window via an innocent sparse fix. We could have reverted that
commit, but on deeper inspection it turned out that the whole
machinery is neither documented nor robust. So a proper cleanup was
done instead
- the fix for the TLB flush issue which was discovered recently
- a simple typo fix for a reboot quirk

x86/tlb: Fix tlb flushing when lguest clears PGE
kexec, x86/purgatory: Unbreak it and clean it up
x86/reboot/quirks: Fix typo in ASUS EeeBook X205TA reboot quirk
The purgatory code defines global variables which are referenced via a
symbol lookup in the kexec code (core and arch).
A recent commit addressing sparse warnings made these static and thereby
broke kexec_file.
Why did this happen? Simply because the whole machinery is undocumented and
lacks any form of forward declarations. The variable names are unspecific
and lack a prefix, so adding forward declarations creates shadow variables
in the core code. Aside of that the code relies on magic constants and
duplicate struct definitions with no way to ensure that these things stay
in sync. The section placement of the purgatory variables happened by
chance and not by design.
Unbreak kexec and cleanup the mess:
- Add proper forward declarations and document the usage
- Use common struct definition
- Use the proper common defines instead of magic constants
- Add a purgatory_ prefix to have a proper name space
- Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of a homebrewn reimplementation
- Add proper sections to the purgatory variables [ From Mike ]

The reboot quirk for ASUS EeeBook X205TA contains a typo in
DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, improperly referring to X205TAW instead of
X205TA, which prevents the quirk from being triggered. The
model X205TAW already has a reboot quirk of its own.
This fix simply removes the inappropriate final letter W.

Sergey reported a might sleep warning triggered from the hpet resume
path. It's caused by the call to disable_irq() from interrupt disabled
context.
The problem with the low level resume code is that it is not accounted as a
special system_state like we do during the boot process. Calling the same
code during system boot would not trigger the warning. That's inconsistent
at best.
In this particular case it's trivial to replace the disable_irq() with
disable_hardirq() because this particular code path is solely used from
system resume and the involved hpet interrupts can never be force threaded.

Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit:
acb04058de ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash")
... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's
kvm_clock _is_ stable.
The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC
state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function.
Solve this by doing two things:
- tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable
state for the normal (!paravirt) case.
- only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable
when we use native_sched_clock().
The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more
situations then before, which is good. And since commit:
12907fbb1a ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method")
... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results
in marking the TSC unstable.

The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.
Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.
Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

because using inline assembly directly.
And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related
things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build.
To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it
to shared location.

Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is
converted mechanically using:
git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)->mm_count);/mmgrab\(\1\);/'
git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&\1\);/'
This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

Bart Van Assche noted that the ib DMA mapping code was significantly
similar enough to the core DMA mapping code that with a few changes
it was possible to remove the IB DMA mapping code entirely and
switch the RDMA stack to use the core DMA mapping code. This resulted
in a nice set of cleanups, but touched the entire tree. This branch
will be submitted separately to Linus at the end of the merge window
as per normal practice for tree wide changes like this.

The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs. This patch
adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX. It does not include
support for anonymous pages. x86 support code also added.
Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge
PMDs. The only major difference is how the new ->pud_entry method in
mm_walk works. The ->pmd_entry method replaces the ->pte_entry method,
whereas the ->pud_entry method works along with either ->pmd_entry or
->pte_entry. The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before
calling ->pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is
stable.

The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.
On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction. When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.
Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'. That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.
Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway. The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.
So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro. The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section. Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.

It was found when running fio sequential write test with a XFS ramdisk
on a KVM guest running on a 2-socket x86-64 system, the %CPU times
as reported by perf were as follows:
69.75% 0.59% fio [k] down_write
69.15% 0.01% fio [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed
67.12% 1.12% fio [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
63.48% 52.77% fio [k] osq_lock
9.46% 7.88% fio [k] __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt
3.93% 3.93% fio [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted
Making vcpu_is_preempted() a callee-save function has a relatively
high cost on x86-64 primarily due to at least one more cacheline of
data access from the saving and restoring of registers (8 of them)
to and from stack as well as one more level of function call.
To reduce this performance overhead, an optimized assembly version
of the the __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() function is
provided for x86-64.
With this patch applied on a KVM guest on a 2-socket 16-core 32-thread
system with 16 parallel jobs (8 on each socket), the aggregrate
bandwidth of the fio test on an XFS ramdisk were as follows:
I/O Type w/o patch with patch
-------- --------- ----------
random read 8141.2 MB/s 8497.1 MB/s
seq read 8229.4 MB/s 8304.2 MB/s
random write 1675.5 MB/s 1701.5 MB/s
seq write 1681.3 MB/s 1699.9 MB/s
There are some increases in the aggregated bandwidth because of
the patch.
The perf data now became:
70.78% 0.58% fio [k] down_write
70.20% 0.01% fio [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed
69.70% 1.17% fio [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
59.91% 55.42% fio [k] osq_lock
10.14% 10.14% fio [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted
The assembly code was verified by using a test kernel module to
compare the output of C __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted() and that of assembly
__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() to verify that they matched.

The cpu argument in the function prototype of vcpu_is_preempted()
is changed from int to long. That makes it easier to provide a better
optimized assembly version of that function.
For Xen, vcpu_is_preempted(long) calls xen_vcpu_stolen(int), the
downcast from long to int is not a problem as vCPU number won't exceed
32 bits.

Intel's VMX is daft and resets the hidden TSS limit register to 0x67
on VMX reload, and the 0x67 is not configurable. KVM currently
reloads TR using the LTR instruction on every exit, but this is quite
slow because LTR is serializing.
The 0x67 limit is entirely harmless unless ioperm() is in use, so
defer the reload until a task using ioperm() is actually running.
