716ff017a3 KVM: x86: Allow Qemu/KVM to use PVH entry point
For certain applications it is desirable to rapidly boot a KVM virtual
machine. In cases where legacy hardware and software support within the
guest is not needed, Qemu should be able to boot directly into the
uncompressed Linux kernel binary without the need to run firmware.

There already exists an ABI to allow this for Xen PVH guests and the ABI
is supported by Linux and FreeBSD:

   https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/pvh.html

This patch enables Qemu to use that same entry point for booting KVM
guests.

fcd4747698 xen/pvh: Move PVH entry code out of Xen specific tree
Once hypervisors other than Xen start using the PVH entry point for
starting VMs, we would like the option of being able to compile PVH entry
capable kernels without enabling CONFIG_XEN and all the code that comes
along with that. To allow that, we are moving the PVH code out of Xen and
into files sitting at a higher level in the tree.

This patch is not introducing any code or functional changes, just moving
files from one location to another.

ecda85e702 x86/lguest: Remove lguest support
Lguest seems to be rather unused these days. It has seen only patches
ensuring it still builds the last two years and its official state is
"Odd Fixes".

Remove it in order to be able to clean up the paravirt code.

74ca317c26 kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for new syscall
Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code
compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y.  But new syscall also compiles purgatory
code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large.  This option seems
to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards.

Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break
existing users of old gcc.  Those who wish to enable new functionality
will require new gcc.  Having said that, I am trying to figure out how
can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while.

I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config
option.  As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches
don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used.  This
new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y.  And all other arches had
to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC.  Now with introduction of new config
option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches.

Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64.  So whereever I had
CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that.

For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to
"depends on CRYPTO=y".  This should be safer as "select" is not
recursive.

8fc5b4d412 purgatory: core purgatory functionality
Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two
kernels.  This name, concept and some code has been taken from
kexec-tools.  Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in
minimal environment.  So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in
long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code.

This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various
segments which have been loaded into memory.  So first we verify that the
kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make
progress only if checsums are verified.

This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

b3266bd6ff x86, realmode: realmode.bin infrastructure
Create realmode.bin and realmode.relocs files. Piggy
pack them into relocatable object that will be included
into .init.data section of the main kernel image.

The first file includes binary image of the real-mode code.
The latter file includes all relocations. The layout of the
binary image is specified in realmode.lds.S. The makefile
generates pa_ prefixed symbols for each exported global.
These are used in 32-bit code and in realmode header to
define symbols that need to be relocated.

0a14842f5a net: filter: Just In Time compiler for x86-64
In order to speedup packet filtering, here is an implementation of a
JIT compiler for x86_64

It is disabled by default, and must be enabled by the admin.

echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

It uses module_alloc() and module_free() to get memory in the 2GB text
kernel range since we call helpers functions from the generated code.

EAX : BPF A accumulator
EBX : BPF X accumulator
RDI : pointer to skb   (first argument given to JIT function)
RBP : frame pointer (even if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n)
r9d : skb->len - skb->data_len (headlen)
r8  : skb->data

To get a trace of generated code, use :

echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

Example of generated code :

# tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24
