c24481e9da xen64: save lots of registers
The Xen hypercall interface is allowed to trash any or all of the
argument registers, so we need to be careful that the kernel state
isn't damaged.  On 32-bit kernels, the hypercall parameter registers
same as a regparm function call, so we've got away without explicit
clobbering so far.  The 64-bit ABI defines lots of caller-save
registers, so save them all for safety.  We can trim this set later by
re-distributing the responsibility for saving all these registers.

a00394f81f x86, 64-bit: swapgs pvop with a user-stack can never be called
It's never safe to call a swapgs pvop when the user stack is current -
it must be inline replaced.  Rather than making a call, the
SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK pvop always just puts "swapgs" as a placeholder,
which must either be replaced inline or trap'n'emulated (somehow).

c7245da6ae x86/paravirt, 64-bit: don't restore user rsp within sysret

d75cd22fdd x86/paravirt: split sysret and sysexit
Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with
different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least
within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD
system).

sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of
    any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts.

sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable
    interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs

491eccb721 x86/paravirt: define PARA_INDIRECT for indirect asm calls
On 32-bit it's best to use a %cs: prefix to access memory where the
other segments may not bet set up properly yet.  On 64-bit it's best
to use a rip-relative addressing mode.  Define PARA_INDIRECT() to
abstract this and generate the proper addressing mode in each case.

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).

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).

014b15be30 x86: change write_gdt_entry signature.
This patch changes the write_gdt_entry function signature.
Instead of the old "a" and "b" parameters, it now receives
a pointer to a desc_struct, and the size of the entry being
handled. This is because x86_64 can have some 16-byte entries
as well as 8-byte ones.

8d947344c4 x86: change write_idt_entry signature
this patch changes write_idt_entry signature. It now takes a gate_desc
instead of the a and b parameters. It will allow it to be later unified
between i386 and x86_64.

6b68f01baa x86: unify struct desc_ptr
This patch unifies struct desc_ptr between i386 and x86_64.
They can be expressed in the exact same way in C code, only
having to change the name of one of them. As Xgt_desc_struct
is ugly and big, this is the one that goes away.

There's also a padding field in i386, but it is not really
needed in the C structure definition.

c9dcda5ce4 x86: change write msr functions interface
This patche changes the native_write_msr() and friends interface
to explicitly take 2 32-bit registers instead of a 64-bit value.
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.

b8d1fae7db x86: change rdpmc interface
the rdpmc instruction gets a counter argument in rcx. However,
the i386 version was ignoring it. To make both x86_64 and i386 versions
the same, as well as to comply with the instruction semantics, this
parameter is added in the i386 version
