this_cpu_sub() is implemented as negation and addition.

This patch casts the adjustment to the counter type before negation to
sign extend the adjustment.  This helps in cases where the counter type
is wider than an unsigned adjustment.  An alternative to this patch is
to declare such operations unsupported, but it seemed useful to avoid
surprises.

This patch specifically helps the following example:
  unsigned int delta = 1
  preempt_disable()
  this_cpu_write(long_counter, 0)
  this_cpu_sub(long_counter, delta)
  preempt_enable()

Before this change long_counter on a 64 bit machine ends with value
0xffffffff, rather than 0xffffffffffffffff.  This is because
this_cpu_sub(pcp, delta) boils down to this_cpu_add(pcp, -delta),
which is basically:
  long_counter = 0 + 0xffffffff

Also apply the same cast to:
  __this_cpu_sub()
  __this_cpu_sub_return()
  this_cpu_sub_return()

All percpu_test.ko passes, especially the following cases which
previously failed:

  l -= ui_one;
  __this_cpu_sub(long_counter, ui_one);
  CHECK(l, long_counter, -1);

  l -= ui_one;
  this_cpu_sub(long_counter, ui_one);
  CHECK(l, long_counter, -1);
  CHECK(l, long_counter, 0xffffffffffffffff);

  ul -= ui_one;
  __this_cpu_sub(ulong_counter, ui_one);
  CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, -1);
  CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 0xffffffffffffffff);

  ul = this_cpu_sub_return(ulong_counter, ui_one);
  CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 2);

  ul = __this_cpu_sub_return(ulong_counter, ui_one);
  CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 1);

The x86 specific kvm init creates a new conflicting
debugfs directory which causes modprobe issues
with kvm_intel and kvm_amd. For example,

sudo modprobe kvm_amd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_amd': Bad address

The simplest fix is to just rename the directory. The following
KVM config options are set:

CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y
CONFIG_KVM_DEBUG_FS=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM=y

OK, so what I'm actually seeing on my WSM is that sched/clock.c is
'broken' for the purpose we're using it for.

What triggered it is that my WSM-EP is broken :-(

  [    0.001000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT
  [    0.002000] tsc: Detected 2533.715 MHz processor
  [    0.500180] TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -&gt; CPU#6]:
  [    0.505197] Measured 3 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
  [    0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed

For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+
should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems.

This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to
try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick,
clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until
it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu.

While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about
actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not
idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events
just fine on an otherwise idle cpu.

So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually
don't last nearly that long:

          &lt;idle&gt;-0     [013] d.h.   886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter &lt;-do_nmi
  ...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0     [013] d.h.   886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990

So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees
~27us, but we measure ~1ms !!

Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually
fix it.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "Sorry I let so much accumulate, I was in Buffalo and wanted a few
  things to cook in my tree for a while before sending to you.  Anyways,
  it's a lot of little things as usual at this stage in the game"

 1) Make bonding MAINTAINERS entry reflect reality, from Andy
    Gospodarek.

 2) Fix accidental sock_put() on timewait mini sockets, from Eric
    Dumazet.

 3) Fix crashes in l2tp due to mis-handling of ipv4 mapped ipv6
    addresses, from François CACHEREUL.

 4) Fix heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr(), from the eagle eyed Dan
    Carpenter.

 5) tcp_shifted_skb() doesn't take handle FINs properly, from Eric
    Dumazet.

 6) SFC driver bug fixes from Ben Hutchings.

 7) Fix TX packet scheduling wedge after channel change in ath9k driver,
    from Felix Fietkau.

 8) Fix user after free in BPF JIT code, from Alexei Starovoitov.

 9) Source address selection test is reversed in
    __ip_route_output_key(), fix from Jiri Benc.

10) VLAN and CAN layer mis-size netlink attributes, from Marc
    Kleine-Budde.

11) Fix permission checks in sysctls to use current_euid() instead of
    current_uid().  From Eric W Biederman.

12) IPSEC policies can go away while a timer is still pending for them,
    add appropriate ref-counting to fix, from Steffen Klassert.

13) Fix mis-programming of FDR and RMCR registers on R8A7740 sh_eth
    chips, from Nguyen Hong Ky and Simon Horman.

14) MLX4 forgets to DMA unmap pages on RX, fix from Amir Vadai.

15) IPV6 GRE tunnel MTU upper limit is miscalculated, from Oussama
    Ghorbel.

16) Fix typo in fq_change(), we were assigning "initial quantum" to
    "quantum".  From Eric Dumazet.

17) Set a more appropriate sk_pacing_rate for non-TCP sockets, otherwise
    FQ packet scheduler does not pace those flows properly.  Also from
    Eric Dumazet.

18) rtlwifi miscalculates packet pointers, from Mark Cave-Ayland.

19) l2tp_xmit_skb() can be called from process context, not just softirq
    context, so we must always make sure to BH disable around it.  From
    Eric Dumazet.

20) On qdisc reset, we forget to purge the RB tree of SKBs in netem
    packet scheduler.  From Stephen Hemminger.

21) Fix info leak in farsync WAN driver ioctl() handler, from Dan
    Carpenter and Salva Peiró.

22) Fix PHY reset and other issues in dm9000 driver, from Nikita
    Kiryanov and Michael Abbott.

23) When hardware can do SCTP crc32 checksums, we accidently don't
    disable the csum offload when IPSEC transformations have been
    applied.  From Fan Du and Vlad Yasevich.

24) Tail loss probing in TCP leaves the socket in the wrong congestion
    avoidance state.  From Yuchung Cheng.

25) In CPSW driver, enable NAPI before interrupts are turned on, from
    Markus Pargmann.

26) Integer underflow and dual-assignment in YAM hamradio driver, from
    Dan Carpenter.

27) If we are going to mangle a packet in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() we must
    unclone it.  This fixes various hard to track down crashes in
    drivers where the SKBs -&gt;gso_segs was changing right from underneath
    the driver during TX queueing.  From Eric Dumazet.

28) Fix the handling of VLAN IDs, and in particular the special IDs 0
    and 4095, in the bridging layer.  From Toshiaki Makita.

29) Another info leak, this time in wanxl WAN driver, from Salva Peiró.

30) Fix race in socket credential passing, from Daniel Borkmann.

31) WHen NETLABEL is disabled, we don't validate CIPSO packets properly,
    from Seif Mazareeb.

32) Fix identification of fragmented frames in ipv4/ipv6 UDP
    Fragmentation Offload output paths, from Jiri Pirko.

33) Virtual Function fixes in bnx2x driver from Yuval Mintz and Ariel
    Elior.

34) When we removed the explicit neighbour pointer from ipv6 routes a
    slight regression was introduced for users such as IPVS, xt_TEE, and
    raw sockets.  We mix up the users requested destination address with
    the routes assigned nexthop/gateway.  From Julian Anastasov and
    Simon Horman.

35) Fix stack overruns in rt6_probe(), the issue is that can end up
    doing two full packet xmit paths at the same time when emitting
    neighbour discovery messages.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

36) davinci_emac driver doesn't handle IFF_ALLMULTI correctly, from
    Mariusz Ceier.

37) Make sure to set TCP sk_pacing_rate after the first legitimate RTT
    sample, from Neal Cardwell.

38) Wrong netlink attribute passed to xfrm_replay_verify_len(), from
    Steffen Klassert.

    Gospodarek.

 2) Fix accidental sock_put() on timewait mini sockets, from Eric
    Dumazet.

 3) Fix crashes in l2tp due to mis-handling of ipv4 mapped ipv6
    addresses, from François CACHEREUL.

 4) Fix heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr(), from the eagle eyed Dan
    Carpenter.

 5) tcp_shifted_skb() doesn't take handle FINs properly, from Eric
    Dumazet.

 6) SFC driver bug fixes from Ben Hutchings.

 7) Fix TX packet scheduling wedge after channel change in ath9k driver,
    from Felix Fietkau.

 8) Fix user after free in BPF JIT code, from Alexei Starovoitov.

 9) Source address selection test is reversed in
    __ip_route_output_key(), fix from Jiri Benc.

10) VLAN and CAN layer mis-size netlink attributes, from Marc
    Kleine-Budde.

11) Fix permission checks in sysctls to use current_euid() instead of
    current_uid().  From Eric W Biederman.

12) IPSEC policies can go away while a timer is still pending for them,
    add appropriate ref-counting to fix, from Steffen Klassert.

13) Fix mis-programming of FDR and RMCR registers on R8A7740 sh_eth
    chips, from Nguyen Hong Ky and Simon Horman.

14) MLX4 forgets to DMA unmap pages on RX, fix from Amir Vadai.

15) IPV6 GRE tunnel MTU upper limit is miscalculated, from Oussama
    Ghorbel.

16) Fix typo in fq_change(), we were assigning "initial quantum" to
    "quantum".  From Eric Dumazet.

17) Set a more appropriate sk_pacing_rate for non-TCP sockets, otherwise
    FQ packet scheduler does not pace those flows properly.  Also from
    Eric Dumazet.

18) rtlwifi miscalculates packet pointers, from Mark Cave-Ayland.

19) l2tp_xmit_skb() can be called from process context, not just softirq
    context, so we must always make sure to BH disable around it.  From
    Eric Dumazet.

20) On qdisc reset, we forget to purge the RB tree of SKBs in netem
    packet scheduler.  From Stephen Hemminger.

21) Fix info leak in farsync WAN driver ioctl() handler, from Dan
    Carpenter and Salva Peiró.

22) Fix PHY reset and other issues in dm9000 driver, from Nikita
    Kiryanov and Michael Abbott.

23) When hardware can do SCTP crc32 checksums, we accidently don't
    disable the csum offload when IPSEC transformations have been
    applied.  From Fan Du and Vlad Yasevich.

24) Tail loss probing in TCP leaves the socket in the wrong congestion
    avoidance state.  From Yuchung Cheng.

25) In CPSW driver, enable NAPI before interrupts are turned on, from
    Markus Pargmann.

26) Integer underflow and dual-assignment in YAM hamradio driver, from
    Dan Carpenter.

27) If we are going to mangle a packet in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() we must
    unclone it.  This fixes various hard to track down crashes in
    drivers where the SKBs -&gt;gso_segs was changing right from underneath
    the driver during TX queueing.  From Eric Dumazet.

28) Fix the handling of VLAN IDs, and in particular the special IDs 0
    and 4095, in the bridging layer.  From Toshiaki Makita.

29) Another info leak, this time in wanxl WAN driver, from Salva Peiró.

30) Fix race in socket credential passing, from Daniel Borkmann.

31) WHen NETLABEL is disabled, we don't validate CIPSO packets properly,
    from Seif Mazareeb.

32) Fix identification of fragmented frames in ipv4/ipv6 UDP
    Fragmentation Offload output paths, from Jiri Pirko.

33) Virtual Function fixes in bnx2x driver from Yuval Mintz and Ariel
    Elior.

34) When we removed the explicit neighbour pointer from ipv6 routes a
    slight regression was introduced for users such as IPVS, xt_TEE, and
    raw sockets.  We mix up the users requested destination address with
    the routes assigned nexthop/gateway.  From Julian Anastasov and
    Simon Horman.

35) Fix stack overruns in rt6_probe(), the issue is that can end up
    doing two full packet xmit paths at the same time when emitting
    neighbour discovery messages.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

36) davinci_emac driver doesn't handle IFF_ALLMULTI correctly, from
    Mariusz Ceier.

37) Make sure to set TCP sk_pacing_rate after the first legitimate RTT
    sample, from Neal Cardwell.

38) Wrong netlink attribute passed to xfrm_replay_verify_len(), from
    Steffen Klassert.

We use jump label to enable pv-spinlock. With the changes in (442e0973e927
Merge branch 'x86/jumplabel'), the jump label behaviour has changed
that would result in eventual hang of the VM since we would end up in a
situation where slow path locks would halt the vcpus but we will not be
able to wakeup the vcpu by lock releaser using unlock kick.

Similar problem in Xen and more detailed description is available in
a945928ea270 (xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init()
has executed)

This patch splits kvm_spinlock_init to separate jump label changes with
pvops patching and also make jump label enabling after jump_label_init().
