Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer changes contain:
- posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases
- sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
duplication by other architectures
- alarm timer updates
- clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
- clocksource/events support for new hardware
- precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
- generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
- the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of
trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
tree merge dependencies.
The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and
next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
collected them last minute."

it conceptually belongs. Finally drop cpuinfo_x86.hard_math.

All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent
wallclocks that have more than one second of precision.
read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow
for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with
x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision.
This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1
second.
Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec
parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen
guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0
can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.

Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to
preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact.
Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away
arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such
environment.
[ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU
updates" may cause a minor performance regression on
bare metal. This patch resolves that performance regression. It is
somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ]

The Host used to create some page tables for the Guest to use at the
top of Guest memory; it would then tell the Guest where this was. In
particular, it created linear mappings for 0 and 0xC0000000 addresses
because lguest used to switch to its real page tables quite late in
boot.
However, since d50d8fe19 Linux initialized boot page tables in
head_32.S even before the "are we lguest?" boot jump. So, now we can
simplify things: the Host pagetable code assumes 1:1 linear mapping
until it first calls the LHCALL_NEW_PGTABLE hypercall, which we now do
before we reach C code.
This also means that the Host doesn't need to know anything about the
Guest's PAGE_OFFSET. (Non-Linux guests might not even have such a
thing).

Two x86 patches broke lguest:
1) v2.6.35-492-g72d7c3b, which changed x86 to use the memblock allocator.
In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which
used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables. With
the first patch, the direct mapping tables used that memory:
Before: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 7000-1a000
After: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 3fed000-4000000
I initially fixed this by lying about the amount of memory we had, so
the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then...
2) v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f, which made x86 boot use initial_page_table.
This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by
lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir. So we have to initialize
it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that
fixes the previous damage as well.
For the moment, I cut & pasted the code into lguest's boot code, but
next merge window I will merge them.

lguest is dumb and drops *all* the pagetables for set_pte (which is
only used for kernel mapping manipulation, so it's OK without highmem).
But it's used a lot in boot, too. As a guest optimization, we
suppressed this flushing until the first page switch. Now we have
initial_page_table, that happens much earlier, so extend the heuristic
to wait until we switch to something other than the swapper_pg_dir or
initial_page_table.
As measured on my laptop under kvm, this dropped the time-to-mount-root
from 48 seconds to 4.3 seconds.

This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2a159 "lguest: use KVM hypercalls";
we revert to using (just as questionable but more reliable) int $15 for
hypercalls. I didn't revert the register mapping, so we still use the
same calling convention as kvm.
KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest
tried to use the VMCALL instruction from ring 1, so lguest under kvm
fails to make hypercalls. It was nice to share code with our KVM
cousins, but this was overreach.

acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was
universally deployed and enabled by default in
the major Linux distributions.
At that time, there were a fair number of people who
or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off,
yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading.
Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht"
are accidental, and thus is it possible that it
is doing more harm than good.
In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht.
In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option.

The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.
But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.
The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP
performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag
and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable.
These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes
patch space, so we drop that code.
Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!
Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.
