Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add
Kconfig options for them and select them there instead. This also allows
us to select the compat IPC version parsing automatically for platforms
using the old compat IPC interface.

firmware_map_add_hotplug()
There are two ways to create /sys/firmware/memmap/X sysfs:
- firmware_map_add_early
When the system starts, it is calledd from e820_reserve_resources()
- firmware_map_add_hotplug
When the memory is hot plugged, it is called from add_memory()
But these functions are called without unifying value of end argument as
below:
- end argument of firmware_map_add_early() : start + size - 1
- end argument of firmware_map_add_hogplug() : start + size
The patch unifies them to "start + size". Even if applying the patch,
/sys/firmware/memmap/X/end file content does not change.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu
Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"The most important part of these updates is the IOMMU groups code
enhancement written by Alex Williamson. It abstracts the problem that
a given hardware IOMMU can't isolate any given device from any other
device (e.g. 32 bit PCI devices can't usually be isolated). Devices
that can't be isolated are grouped together. This code is required
for the upcoming VFIO framework.
Another IOMMU-API change written by me is the introduction of domain
attributes. This makes it easier to handle GART-like IOMMUs with the
IOMMU-API because now the start-address and the size of the domain
address space can be queried.
Besides that there are a few cleanups and fixes for the NVidia Tegra
IOMMU drivers and the reworked init-code for the AMD IOMMU. The
latter is from my patch-set to support interrupt remapping. The rest
of this patch-set requires x86 changes which are not mergabe yet. So
full support for interrupt remapping with AMD IOMMUs will come in a
future merge window."

Pull networking changes from David S Miller:
1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB
trie and use prebuilt routes cached there.
No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing
cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance,
no matter what the pattern of traffic we service.
This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to
Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who
have helped along the way.
I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some
kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this
point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to
fix things :-)
The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced
merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description
of the motivations and implementation issues.
2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on
input.
3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet.
4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao
Feng.
5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from
Yuval Mintz.
6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet.
7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo
Neira Ayuso.
8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver,
from Jiri Pirko.
9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with
embedded gotos.
10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued
up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte
Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels,
this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels.
From Eric Dumazet.

13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to

Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using
MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up
fastopen data.
14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events
hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a

The x86 sched power implementation has been broken forever and gets in
the way of other stuff, remove it.
[ For archaeological interest, fixing this code would require dealing
with the cross-cpu calling of these functions and more importantly, we
need to filter idle time out of the a/m-perf stuff because the ratio
will go down to 0 when idle, giving a 0 capacity which is not what
we'd want. ]

"UV2 BAU productization fixes.
The BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) is SGI's fancy out of line way on UV
hardware to do TLB flushes, instead of the normal APIC IPI methods.
The commits here fix / work around hangs in their latest hardware
iteration (UV2).
My understanding is that the main purpose of the out of line
signalling channel is to improve scalability: the UV APIC hardware
glue does not handle broadcasting to many CPUs very well, and this
matters most for TLB shootdowns.
[ I don't agree with all aspects of the current approach: in hindsight
it would have been better to link the BAU at the IPI/APIC driver
level instead of the TLB shootdown level, where TLB flushes are
really just one of the uses of broadcast SMP messages. Doing that
would improve scalability in some other ways and it would also
remove a few uglies from the TLB path. It would also be nice to
push more is_uv_system() tests into proper x86_init or x86_platform
callbacks. Cliff? ]"

kstrtoint()"
This reverts commit fbd24153c48b8425b09c161a020483cd77da870e.
This commit is subtly buggy: kstrto*int() can return an error but
it's not checked in every path. simple_strtoul() on the other hand
could not fail, so this patch subtly intruduces new failure modes.

As things currently stand, traditional EFI boot loaders and the EFI
boot stub are carrying essentially the same initialisation code
required to setup an EFI machine for booting a kernel. There's really
no need to have this code in two places and the hope is that, with
this new protocol, initialisation and booting of the kernel can be
left solely to the kernel's EFI boot stub. The responsibilities of the
boot loader then become,
o Loading the kernel image from boot media
File system code still needs to be carried by boot loaders for the
scenario where the kernel and initrd files reside on a file system
that the EFI firmware doesn't natively understand, such as ext4, etc.
o Providing a user interface
Boot loaders still need to display any menus/interfaces, for example
to allow the user to select from a list of kernels.
Bump the boot protocol number because we added the 'handover_offset'
field to indicate the location of the handover protocol entry point.

When more than 1 source id is in use for the same GSI, we have the
following race related to handling irq_states race:
CPU 0 clears bit 0. CPU 0 read irq_state as 0. CPU 1 sets level to 1.
CPU 1 calls kvm_ioapic_set_irq(1). CPU 0 calls kvm_ioapic_set_irq(0).
Now ioapic thinks the level is 0 but irq_state is not 0.
Fix by performing all irq_states bitmap handling under pic/ioapic lock.
This also removes the need for atomics with irq_states handling.

Currently kexec in a PVonHVM guest fails with a triple fault because the
new kernel overwrites the shared info page. The exact failure depends on
the size of the kernel image. This patch moves the pfn from RAM into
MMIO space before the kexec boot.
The pfn containing the shared_info is located somewhere in RAM. This
will cause trouble if the current kernel is doing a kexec boot into a
new kernel. The new kernel (and its startup code) can not know where the
pfn is, so it can not reserve the page. The hypervisor will continue to
update the pfn, and as a result memory corruption occours in the new
kernel.
One way to work around this issue is to allocate a page in the
xen-platform pci device's BAR memory range. But pci init is done very
late and the shared_info page is already in use very early to read the
pvclock. So moving the pfn from RAM to MMIO is racy because some code
paths on other vcpus could access the pfn during the small window when
the old pfn is moved to the new pfn. There is even a small window were
the old pfn is not backed by a mfn, and during that time all reads
return -1.
Because it is not known upfront where the MMIO region is located it can
not be used right from the start in xen_hvm_init_shared_info.
To minimise trouble the move of the pfn is done shortly before kexec.
This does not eliminate the race because all vcpus are still online when
the syscore_ops will be called. But hopefully there is no work pending
at this point in time. Also the syscore_op is run last which reduces the
risk further.
