We want to simplify <linux/sched.h>'s header dependencies, but one
roadblock to that is <asm/apic.h>'s inclusion of pm.h,
which brings in other, problematic headers.
Remove it, as it appears to be entirely spurious, apic.h does not
actually make use of any PM facilities.

Add __rdmsr() and __wrmsr() which *only* read and write an MSR with
exception handling. Those are going to be used in early code, like the
microcode loader, which cannot stomach tracing code piggybacking on the
MSR operation.
While at it, get rid of __native_write_msr_notrace().

Pull x86 idle updates from Ingo Molnar:
"There were two bigger changes in this development cycle:
- remove idle notifiers:
32 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 803 deletions(-)
These notifiers were of questionable value and the main usecase,
the i7300 driver, was essentially unmaintained and can be removed,
plus modern power management concepts don't need the callback - so
use this golden opportunity and get rid of this opaque and fragile
callback from a latency sensitive code path.

As Peterz pointed out:
| So now we're making a very frequent interrupt slower because of debug
| code.
|
| The thing is, many many smp_reschedule_interrupt() invocations don't
| actually execute anything much at all and are only sent to tickle the
| return to user path (which does the actual preemption).
|
| Having to do the whole irq_enter/irq_exit dance just for this unlikely
| debug case totally blows.
Use the wrmsr_notrace() variant in native_apic_msr_write_eoi, annotate the
kvm variant with notrace and add a native_apic_eoi callback to the apic
structure so KVM guests are covered as well.
This allows to revert the irq_enter/irq_exit dance in
smp_reschedule_interrupt().

This patch eliminates a source of imprecise APIC timer interrupts,
which imprecision may result in double interrupts or even late
interrupts.
The TSC deadline clockevent devices' configuration and registration
happens before the TSC frequency calibration is refined in
tsc_refine_calibration_work().
This results in the TSC clocksource and the TSC deadline clockevent
devices being configured with slightly different frequencies: the former
gets the refined one and the latter are configured with the inaccurate
frequency detected earlier by means of the "Fast TSC calibration using PIT".
Within the APIC code, introduce the notifier function
lapic_update_tsc_freq() which reconfigures all per-CPU TSC deadline
clockevent devices with the current tsc_khz.
Call it from the TSC code after TSC calibration refinement has happened.

Some CONFIG_X86_X2APIC functions, especially x2apic_enabled(), are not
declared if !CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC. However, the same stubs that work
for !CONFIG_X86_X2APIC are okay even if there is no local APIC support
at all.
Avoid the introduction of #ifdefs by moving the x2apic declarations
completely outside the CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC block. (Unfortunately,
diff generation messes up the actual change that this patch makes).
There is no semantic change because CONFIG_X86_X2APIC depends on
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC.

By their nature many of these changes are risky - we tried to test
them well on many different x86 systems (there are no known

there's still a fair bit of residual risk left so caveat emptor"

Pull x86/apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is a major overhaul to the x86 apic subsystem consisting of the
following parts:
- Remove obsolete APIC driver abstractions (David Rientjes)
- Use the irqdomain facilities to dynamically allocate IRQs for
IOAPICs. This is a prerequisite to enable IOAPIC hotplug support,
and it also frees up wasted vectors (Jiang Liu)
- Misc fixlets.
Despite the hickup in Ingos previous pull request - caused by the
missing fixup for the suspend/resume issue reported by Borislav - I
strongly recommend that this update finds its way into 3.17. Some
history for you:
This is preparatory work for physical IOAPIC hotplug. The first
attempt to support this was done by Yinghai and I shot it down because
it just added another layer of obscurity and complexity to the already
existing mess without tackling the underlying shortcomings of the
current implementation.
After quite some on- and offlist discussions, I requested that the
design of this functionality must use generic infrastructure, i.e.
irq domains, which provide all the mechanisms to dynamically map linux
interrupt numbers to physical interrupts.
Jiang picked up the idea and did a great job of consolidating the
existing interfaces to manage the x86 (IOAPIC) interrupt system by
utilizing irq domains.
The testing in tip, Linux-next and inside of Intel on various machines
did not unearth any oddities until Borislav exposed it to one of his
oddball machines. The issue was resolved quickly, but unfortunately
the fix fell through the cracks and did not hit the tip tree before
Ingo sent the pull request. Not entirely Ingos fault, I also assumed
that the fix was already merged when Ingo asked me whether he could
send it.
Nevertheless this work has a proper design, has undergone several
rounds of review and the final fallout after applying it to tip and
integrating it into Linux-next has been more than moderate. It's the
ground work not only for IOAPIC hotplug, it will also allow us to move
the lowlevel vector allocation into the irqdomain hierarchy, which
will benefit other architectures as well. Patches are posted already,
but they are on hold for two weeks, see below.
I really appreciate the competence and responsiveness Jiang has shown
in course of this endavour. So I'm sure that any fallout of this will
be addressed in a timely manner.
FYI, I'm vanishing for 2 weeks into my annual kids summer camp kitchen
duty^Wvacation, while you folks are drooling at KS/LinuxCon :) But HPA
will have a look at the hopefully zero fallout until I'm back"

When a vSMP Foundation box is detected, the function apic_cluster_num() counts
the number of APIC clusters found. If more than one found, a multi board
configuration is assumed, and TSC marked as unstable. This behavior is
incorrect as vSMP Foundation may use processors from single node only, attached
to memory of other nodes - and such node may have more than one APIC cluster
(typically any recent intel box has more than single APIC_CLUSTERID(x)).
To fix this, we simply remove the code which detects a vSMP Foundation box and
affects apic_is_clusted_box() return value. This can be done because later the
kernel checks by itself if the TSC is stable using the
check_tsc_sync_[source|target]() functions and marks TSC as unstable if needed.

Prevent crash_kexec() from deadlocking on ioapic_lock. When
crash_kexec() is executed on a CPU, the CPU will take ioapic_lock
in disable_IO_APIC(). So if the cpu gets an NMI while locking
ioapic_lock, a deadlock will happen.
In this patch, ioapic_lock is zapped/initialized before disable_IO_APIC().
You can reproduce this deadlock the following way:
1. Add mdelay(1000) after raw_spin_lock_irqsave() in
native_ioapic_set_affinity()@arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c
Although the deadlock can occur without this modification, it will increase
the potential of the deadlock problem.
2. Build and install the kernel
3. Set up the OS which will run panic() and kexec when NMI is injected
# echo "kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# vim /etc/default/grub
add "nmi_watchdog=0 crashkernel=256M" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line
# grub2-mkconfig
4. Reboot the OS
5. Run following command for each vcpu on the guest
# while true; do echo <CPU num> > /proc/irq/<IO-APIC-edge or IO-APIC-fasteoi>/smp_affinitity; done;
By running this command, cpus will get ioapic_lock for setting affinity.
6. Inject NMI (push a dump button or execute 'virsh inject-nmi <domain>' if you
use VM). After injecting NMI, panic() is called in an nmi-handler context.
Then, kexec will normally run in panic(), but the operation will be stopped
by deadlock on ioapic_lock in crash_kexec()->machine_crash_shutdown()->
native_machine_crash_shutdown()->disable_IO_APIC()->clear_IO_APIC()->
clear_IO_APIC_pin()->ioapic_read_entry().

When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are
simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers,
it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty.
To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and
switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time.
So, let's introduce entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post-
processing of each irq handler.
A way to use them is as follows.
Non-trace irq handler:
smp_irq_handler()
{
entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
__smp_irq_handler(); /*
* common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
* in a vector.
*/
exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */
}
Trace irq_handler:
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
trace_irq_entry(); /* tracepoint for irq entry */
__smp_irq_handler(); /*
* common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
* in a vector.
*/
trace_irq_exit(); /* tracepoint for irq exit */
exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */
}
If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows,
it looks cleaner.
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
trace_irq_entry();
smp_irq_handler();
trace_irq_exit();
}
But it doesn't work.
The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before
trace_irq_enter/exit(), because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before
any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use rcu to synchronize.
As a possible alternative, we may be able to call irq_enter() first as follows
if irq_enter() can nest.
smp_trace_irq_hander()
{
irq_entry();
trace_irq_entry();
smp_irq_handler();
trace_irq_exit();
irq_exit();
}
But it doesn't work, either.
If irq_enter() is nested, it may have a time penalty because it has to check if it
was already called or not. The time penalty is not desired in performance sensitive
paths even if it is tiny.
