This patch adds hrtimer_start_on(), which allows arming timers on remote CPUs. This is needed to avoided timer interrupts on "shielded" CPUs and is also useful for implementing semi-partitioned schedulers.
This patch adds the x86-specific implementation of Feather-Trace triggers that works by rewriting jump instructions.
commit 42720138b06301cc8a7ee8a495a6d021c4b6a9bc upstream. Writes were a bit racy, but hard to turn into a bug at the same time. (Particularly because modern Linux doesn't use this feature anymore.)

"Misc fixes:
- early_idt_handlers[] fix that fixes the build with bleeding edge
tooling
- build warning fix on GCC 5.1
- vm86 fix plus self-test to make it harder to break it again"
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/asm/irq: Stop relying on magic JMP behavior for early_idt_handlers
x86/asm/entry/32, selftests: Add a selftest for kernel entries from VM86 mode
x86/boot: Add CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS quirk to arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.h
x86/asm/entry/32: Really make user_mode() work correctly for VM86 mode
The early_idt_handlers asm code generates an array of entry
points spaced nine bytes apart. It's not really clear from that
code or from the places that reference it what's going on, and
the code only works in the first place because GAS never
generates two-byte JMP instructions when jumping to global
labels.
Clean up the code to generate the correct array stride (member size)
explicitly. This should be considerably more robust against
screw-ups, as GAS will warn if a .fill directive has a negative
count. Using '. =' to advance would have been even more robust
(it would generate an actual error if it tried to move
backwards), but it would pad with nulls, confusing anyone who
tries to disassemble the code. The new scheme should be much
clearer to future readers.
While we're at it, improve the comments and rename the array and
common code.
Binutils may start relaxing jumps to non-weak labels. If so,
this change will fix our build, and we may need to backport this
change.

While commit efa7045103 ("x86/asm/entry: Make user_mode() work
correctly if regs came from VM86 mode") claims that "user_mode()
is now identical to user_mode_vm()", this wasn't actually the
case - no prior commit made it so.
