This unifies all the FPU related header files under a unified, hiearchical
naming scheme:
- asm/fpu/types.h: FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct',
widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept
as small as possible.
- asm/fpu/api.h: FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems.
- asm/fpu/internal.h: FPU subsystem internal methods
- asm/fpu/xsave.h: XSAVE support internal methods
(Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)

Fix a minor header file dependency bug in asm/fpu-internal.h: it
relies on i387.h but does not include it. All users of fpu-internal.h
included it explicitly.
Also remove unnecessary includes, to reduce compilation time.
This also makes it easier to use it as a standalone header file
for FPU internals, such as an upcoming C module in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/.

fpu_init() is a bit of a misnomer in that it (falsely) creates the
impression that it's related to the (old) fpu_finit() function,
which initializes FPU ctx state.
Rename it to fpu__cpu_init() to make its boot time initialization
clear, and to move it to the fpu__*() namespace.
Also fix and extend its comment block to point out that it's
called not only on the boot CPU, but on secondary CPUs as well.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:
- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.
This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report
or:
perf top --call-graph lbr
This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:
- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
(Yan, Zheng)
- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.
(Andi Kleen)
- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.
(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)
The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:
User visible changes affecting all tools:
- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
User visible changes in individual tools:
'perf data':
New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)
'perf diff':
Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)
'perf list':
Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)
Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)
'perf kmem':
Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)
Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)
Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)
Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe':
Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)
Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)
Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)
'perf record':
Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)
Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)
'perf sched':
Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)
'perf report' and 'perf top':
Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)
Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
'perf stat':
Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)
Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)
'perf trace':
Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -

The comment is ancient, it dates to the time when only AMD's
x86_64 implementation existed. AMD wasn't (and still isn't)
supporting SYSENTER, so these writes were "just in case" back
then.
This has changed: Intel's x86_64 appeared, and Intel does
support SYSENTER in long mode. "Some future 64-bit CPU" is here
already.
The code may appear "buggy" for AMD as it stands, since
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP is only 32-bit for AMD CPUs. Writing a
kernel function's address to it would drop high bits. Subsequent
use of this MSR for branch via SYSENTER seem to allow user to
transition to CPL0 while executing his code. Scary, eh?
Explain why that is not a bug: because SYSENTER insn would not
work on AMD CPU.

PER_CPU_VAR(kernel_stack) was set up in a way where it points
five stack slots below the top of stack.
Presumably, it was done to avoid one "sub $5*8,%rsp"
in syscall/sysenter code paths, where iret frame needs to be
created by hand.
Ironically, none of them benefits from this optimization,
since all of them need to allocate additional data on stack
(struct pt_regs), so they still have to perform subtraction.
This patch eliminates KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET.
PER_CPU_VAR(kernel_stack) now points directly to top of stack.
pt_regs allocations are adjusted to allocate iret frame as well.
Hopefully we can merge it later with 32-bit specific
PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_current_top_of_stack) variable...
Net result in generated code is that constants in several insns
are changed.
This change is necessary for changing struct pt_regs creation
in SYSCALL64 code path from MOV to PUSH instructions.

Having syscall32/sysenter32 initialization in a separate tiny
function, called from within a function that is already syscall
init specific, serves no real purpose.
Its existense also caused an unintended effect of having
wrmsrl(MSR_CSTAR) performed twice: once we set it to a dummy
function returning -ENOSYS, and immediately after
(if CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION), we set it to point to the proper
syscall32 entry point, ia32_cstar_target.

Before the patch, the 'tss_struct::stack' field was not referenced anywhere.
It was used only to set SYSENTER's stack to point after the last byte
of tss_struct, thus the trailing field, stack[64], was used.
But grep would not know it. You can comment it out, compile,
and kernel will even run until an unlucky NMI corrupts
io_bitmap[] (which is also not easily detectable).
This patch changes code so that the purpose and usage of this
field is not mysterious anymore, and can be easily grepped for.
This does change generated code, for a subtle reason:
since tss_struct is ____cacheline_aligned, there happens to be
5 longs of padding at the end. Old code was using the padding
too; new code will strictly use it only for SYSENTER_stack[].

I broke 32-bit kernels. The implementation of sp0 was correct
as far as I can tell, but sp0 was much weirder on x86_32 than I
realized. It has the following issues:
- Init's sp0 is inconsistent with everything else's: non-init tasks
are offset by 8 bytes. (I have no idea why, and the comment is unhelpful.)
- vm86 does crazy things to sp0.
Fix it up by replacing this_cpu_sp0() with
current_top_of_stack() and using a new percpu variable to track
the top of the stack on x86_32.

Commit:
1e02ce4cccdc ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4")
added a shadow CR4 such that reads and writes that do not
modify the CR4 execute much faster than always reading the
register itself.
The change modified cpu_init() in common.c, so that the
shadow CR4 gets initialized before anything uses it.
Unfortunately, there's two cpu_init()s in common.c. There's
one for 64-bit and one for 32-bit. The commit only added
the shadow init to the 64-bit path, but the 32-bit path
needs the init too.

This patch adds support for the new Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM)
feature found in future Intel Xeon processors. It includes the
new values to track CQM resources to the cpuinfo_x86 structure,
plus the CPUID detection routines for CQM.
CQM allows a process, or set of processes, to be tracked by the CPU
to determine the cache usage of that task group. Using this data
from the CPU, software can be written to extract this data and
report cache usage and occupancy for a particular process, or
group of processes.
More information about Cache QoS Monitoring can be found in the
Intel (R) x86 Architecture Software Developer Manual, section 17.14.

Pull x86 perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This series tightens up RDPMC permissions: currently even highly
sandboxed x86 execution environments (such as seccomp) have permission
to execute RDPMC, which may leak various perf events / PMU state such
as timing information and other CPU execution details.
This 'all is allowed' RDPMC mode is still preserved as the
(non-default) /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 setting. The new default is
that RDPMC access is only allowed if a perf event is mmap-ed (which is
needed to correctly interpret RDPMC counter values in any case).
As a side effect of these changes CR4 handling is cleaned up in the
x86 code and a shadow copy of the CR4 value is added.
The extra CR4 manipulation adds ~ <50ns to the context switch cost
between rdpmc-capable and rdpmc-non-capable mms"
* 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
perf/x86: Add /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 to allow rdpmc for all tasks
perf/x86: Only allow rdpmc if a perf_event is mapped
perf: Pass the event to arch_perf_update_userpage()
perf: Add pmu callbacks to track event mapping and unmapping
x86: Add a comment clarifying LDT context switching
x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4
x86: Clean up cr4 manipulation
Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4.
CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a
per-cpu variable.
To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to
cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest
users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and
__switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context
switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct
(write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately,
the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code,
which only a small subset of users actually wanted.
This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4
exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits,
cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

enable_x2apic() is a convoluted unreadable mess because it is used for
both enablement in early boot and for setup in cpu_init().
Split the code into x2apic_enable() for enablement and x2apic_setup()
for setup of (secondary cpus). Make use of the new state tracking to
simplify the logic.

dmesg (from util-linux) currently has two methods for reading the kernel
message ring buffer: /dev/kmsg and syslog(2). Since kernel 3.5.0 kmsg
has been the default, which escapes control characters (e.g. new lines)
before they are shown.
This change means that when dmesg is using /dev/kmsg, a 2 line printk
makes the output messy, because the second line does not get a
timestamp.
For example:
[ 0.012863] CPU0: Thermal monitoring enabled (TM1)
[ 0.012869] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 1024, 2MB 1024, 4MB 1024
Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 1024, 2MB 1024, 4MB 1024, 1GB 4
[ 0.012958] Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 28K (ffffffff81d86000 - ffffffff81d8d000)
[ 0.014961] dmar: Host address width 39
Because printk.c intentionally escapes control characters, they should
not be there in the first place. This patch fixes two occurrences of
this.

__setup() is designed to match options that take arguments, like
"foo=bar" where you would have:
__setup("foo", x86_foo_func...);
The problem is that "noxsave" actually _matches_ "noxsaves" in
the same way that "foo" matches "foo=bar". If you boot an old
kernel that does not know about "noxsaves" with "noxsaves" on the
command line, it will interpret the argument as "noxsave", which
is not what you want at all.
This makes the "noxsave" handler only return success when it finds
an *exact* match.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

The NT flag doesn't do anything in long mode other than causing IRET
to #GP. Oddly, CPL3 code can still set NT using popf.
Entry via hardware or software interrupt clears NT automatically, so
the only relevant entries are fast syscalls.
If user code causes kernel code to run with NT set, then there's at
least some (small) chance that it could cause trouble. For example,
user code could cause a call to EFI code with NT set, and who knows
what would happen? Apparently some games on Wine sometimes do
this (!), and, if an IRET return happens, they will segfault. That
segfault cannot be handled, because signal delivery fails, too.
This patch programs the CPU to clear NT on entry via SYSCALL (both
32-bit and 64-bit, by my reading of the AMD APM), and it clears NT
in software on entry via SYSENTER.
To save a few cycles, this borrows a trick from Jan Beulich in Xen:
it checks whether NT is set before trying to clear it. As a result,
it seems to have very little effect on SYSENTER performance on my
machine.
There's another minor bug fix in here: it looks like the CFI
annotations were wrong if CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=n.
Testers beware: on Xen, SYSENTER with NT set turns into a GPF.
I haven't touched anything on 32-bit kernels.
The syscall mask change comes from a variant of this patch by Anish
Bhatt.
Note to stable maintainers: there is no known security issue here.
A misguided program can set NT and cause the kernel to try and fail
to deliver SIGSEGV, crashing the program. This patch fixes Far Cry

Hang is observed on virtual machines during CPU hotplug,
especially in big guests with many CPUs. (It reproducible
more often if host is over-committed).
It happens because master CPU gives up waiting on
secondary CPU and allows it to run wild. As result
AP causes locking or crashing system. For example
as described here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/6/257
If master CPU have sent STARTUP IPI successfully,
and AP signalled to master CPU that it's ready
to start initialization, make master CPU wait
indefinitely till AP is onlined.
To ensure that AP won't ever run wild, make it
wait at early startup till master CPU confirms its
intention to wait for AP. If AP doesn't respond in 10
seconds, the master CPU will timeout and cancel
AP onlining.

The original motivation for these patches was for an Intel CPU
feature called MPX. The patch to add a disabled feature for it
will go in with the other parts of the support.
But, in the meantime, there are a few other features than MPX
that we can make assumptions about at compile-time based on
compile options. Add them to disabled-features.h and check them
with cpu_feature_enabled().
Note that this gets rid of the last things that needed an #ifdef
CONFIG_X86_64 in cpufeature.h. Yay!

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

The table mapping CPUID bits to human-readable strings takes up a
non-trivial amount of space, and only exists to support /proc/cpuinfo
and a couple of kernel messages. Since programs depend on the format of
/proc/cpuinfo, force inclusion of the table when building with /proc
support; otherwise, support omitting that table to save space, in which
case the kernel messages will print features numerically instead.
In addition to saving 1408 bytes out of vmlinux, this also saves 1373
bytes out of the uncompressed setup code, which contributes directly to
the size of bzImage.

x86/mm: Clean up the TLB flushing code
x86/smep: Be more informative when signalling an SMEP fault
I think the flush_tlb_mm_range() code that tries to tune the
flush sizes based on the CPU needs to get ripped out for
several reasons:
1. It is obviously buggy. It uses mm->total_vm to judge the
task's footprint in the TLB. It should certainly be using
some measure of RSS, *NOT* ->total_vm since only resident
memory can populate the TLB.
2. Haswell, and several other CPUs are missing from the
intel_tlb_flushall_shift_set() function. Thus, it has been
demonstrated to bitrot quickly in practice.
3. It is plain wrong in my vm:
[ 0.037444] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] tlb_flushall_shift: 6
Which leads to it to never use invlpg.
4. The assumptions about TLB refill costs are wrong:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337782555-8088-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com
(more on this in later patches)
5. I can not reproduce the original data: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59
I believe the sample times were too short. Running the
benchmark in a loop yields times that vary quite a bit.
Note that this leaves us with a static ceiling of 1 page. This
is a conservative, dumb setting, and will be revised in a later
patch.
This also removes the code which attempts to predict whether we
are flushing data or instructions. We expect instruction flushes
to be relatively rare and not worth tuning for explicitly.

This patch adds a kernel parameter noxsaves to disable xsaves/xrstors feature.
The kernel will fall back to use xsaveopt and xrstor to save and restor
xstates. By using this parameter, xsave area occupies more memory because
standard form of xsave area in xsaveopt/xrstor occupies more memory than
compacted form of xsave area.
This patch adds a description of the kernel parameter noxsaveopt in doc.
The code to support the parameter noxsaveopt has been in the kernel before.
This patch just adds the description of this parameter in the doc.

If the bit corresponding to a state component is clear in XCR0 | IA32_XSS,
xsaves and xrstors will not operate on that state component, regardless of
the value of the instruction mask.

This code is used during CPU setup, and it isn't strictly speaking
related to the 32-bit vdso. It's easier to understand how this
works when the code is closer to its callers.
This also lets syscall32_cpu_init be static, which might save some
trivial amount of kernel text.
