commit 7cc23cd6c0c7d7f4bee057607e7ce01568925717 upstream.

We should always have proper privileges when requesting kernel
data.

commit 6e15eb3ba6c0249c9e8c783517d131b47db995ca upstream.

The LBR 'from' adddress is under full userspace control; ensure
we validate it before reading from it.

Note: is_module_text_address() can potentially be quite
expensive; for those running into that with high overhead
in modules optimize it using an RCU backed rb-tree.

commit 1b0dac2ac6debdbf1541e15f2cede03613cf4465 upstream.

The variable name events_group is already in used and led to a
compilation error when using clang to build the Linux Kernel .
The fix is just to rename the var. No functional change. Please
apply.

commit 9a6bc14350b130427725f33e371e86212fa56c85 upstream.

According to Intel Vol3b 18.9, the IvyBridge model 58 uncore is
the same as that of SandyBridge.

I've done some simple tests and with this patch things seem to
work on my mac-mini.

   2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more

   3. More EFI variable space magic.  In particular, variables hidden

Install the Hyper-V specific interrupt handler only when needed. This would
permit us to get rid of the Xen check. Note that when the vmbus drivers invokes
the call to register its handler, we are sure to be running on Hyper-V.

The valid mask for both offcore_response_0 and
offcore_response_1 was wrong for SNB/SNB-EP,
IVB/IVB-EP. It was possible to write to
reserved bit and cause a GP fault crashing
the kernel.

This patch fixes the problem by correctly marking the
reserved bits in the valid mask for all the processors
mentioned above.

A distinction between desktop and server parts is introduced
because bits 24-30 are only available on the server parts.

This version of the  patch is just a rebase to perf/urgent tree
and should apply to older kernels as well.
