08b882c627 paravirt: add hooks for ptep_modify_prot_start/commit
This patch adds paravirt-ops hooks in pv_mmu_ops for ptep_modify_prot_start and
ptep_modify_prot_commit.  This allows the hypervisor-specific backends to
implement these in some more efficient way.

a15af1c9ea x86/paravirt: add pte_flags to just get pte flags
Add pte_flags() to extract the flags from a pte.  This is a special
case of pte_val() which is only guaranteed to return the pte's flags
correctly; the page number may be corrupted or missing.

The intent is to allow paravirt implementations to return pte flags
without having to do any translation of the page number (most notably,
Xen).

4891645e76 x86: unify paravirt pagetable accessors
Put all the defines for mapping pagetable operations to their native
versions (for the non-paravirt case) into one place.  Make the
corresponding changes to paravirt.h.

The tricky part here is that when a pagetable entry can't be updated
atomically (ie, 32-bit PAE), we need special handlers for pte_clear,
set_pte_atomic and set_pte_present.  However, the other two modes
don't need special handling for these, and can use a common
set_pte(_at) path.

314cdbefd1 x86: FIFO ticket spinlocks
Introduce ticket lock spinlocks for x86 which are FIFO. The implementation
is described in the comments. The straight-line lock/unlock instruction
sequence is slightly slower than the dec based locks on modern x86 CPUs,
however the difference is quite small on Core2 and Opteron when working out of
cache, and becomes almost insignificant even on P4 when the lock misses cache.
trylock is more significantly slower, but they are relatively rare.

On an 8 core (2 socket) Opteron, spinlock unfairness is extremely noticable,
with a userspace test having a difference of up to 2x runtime per thread, and
some threads are starved or "unfairly" granted the lock up to 1 000 000 (!)
times. After this patch, all threads appear to finish at exactly the same
time.

The memory ordering of the lock does conform to x86 standards, and the
implementation has been reviewed by Intel and AMD engineers.

The algorithm also tells us how many CPUs are contending the lock, so
lockbreak becomes trivial and we no longer have to waste 4 bytes per
spinlock for it.

After this, we can no longer spin on any locks with preempt enabled
and cannot reenable interrupts when spinning on an irq safe lock, because
at that point we have already taken a ticket and the would deadlock if
the same CPU tries to take the lock again.  These are questionable anyway:
if the lock happens to be called under a preempt or interrupt disabled section,
then it will just have the same latency problems. The real fix is to keep
critical sections short, and ensure locks are reasonably fair (which this
patch does).

The change will ease the merge with 64-bit code. As the 64-bit
value will be passed as two registers anyway in i386,
the PVOP_CALL interface has to account for that and use low/high parameters
It would force the x86_64 version to be different.

The change does not make i386 generated code less efficient. As said above,
it would get the values from two registers anyway.

8965c1c095 paravirt: clean up lazy mode handling
Currently, the set_lazy_mode pv_op is overloaded with 5 functions:
 1. enter lazy cpu mode
 2. leave lazy cpu mode
 3. enter lazy mmu mode
 4. leave lazy mmu mode
 5. flush pending batched operations

This complicates each paravirt backend, since it needs to deal with
all the possible state transitions, handling flushing, etc. In
particular, flushing is quite distinct from the other 4 functions, and
seems to just cause complication.

This patch removes the set_lazy_mode operation, and adds "enter" and
"leave" lazy mode operations on mmu_ops and cpu_ops.  All the logic
associated with enter and leaving lazy states is now in common code
(basically BUG_ONs to make sure that no mode is current when entering
a lazy mode, and make sure that the mode is current when leaving).
Also, flush is handled in a common way, by simply leaving and
re-entering the lazy mode.

The result is that the Xen, lguest and VMI lazy mode implementations
are much simpler.

93b1eab3d2 paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_ops
This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of
functionally related ops:

pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints
pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too)
pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else
pv_time_ops - time-related functions
pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops
pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state
pv_apic_ops - APIC operations
pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables

There are several motivations for this:

1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be
   i386/x86-64 specific.  This makes it easier to share common stuff
   while allowing separate implementations where needed.

2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only
   need selected parts of it.  This allows us to export on a case by case
   basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply).

3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable.

Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate
patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting
into jmp/calls when patching.  It is only instantiated when needed.
