git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
* Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.
* Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent
just to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test'
to make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can
be more readily caught.
* Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps,
fix from Eric Sandeen.
* Fix some compiling errors on 32-bit, from Feng Tang.
* Don't use sscanf extension %as, not available on bionic, reimplementation
by Irina Tirdea.
* Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus Trippelsdorf.
* Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where a
perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.
* Fix several error paths in libtraceevent, from Namhyung Kim.

The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
patches are not yet present.
In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:
"we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).
This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.
This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)
We have this dump then:

If arch/x86/kernel/cpuid.c is a module, a CPU might offline or online
between the for_each_online_cpu() loop and the call to
register_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_init or the call to
unregister_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_exit. The potential races can
lead to leaks/duplicates, attempts to destroy non-existant devices, or
random pointer dereferences.
For example, in cpuid_exit if:
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
cpuid_device_destroy(cpu);
class_destroy(cpuid_class);
__unregister_chrdev(CPUID_MAJOR, 0, NR_CPUS, "cpu/cpuid");
<----- CPU onlines
unregister_hotcpu_notifier(&cpuid_class_cpu_notifier);
the hotcpu notifier will attempt to create a device for the
cpuid_class, which the module already destroyed.
This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier or
unregister_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus.

Preemption is disabled between kernel_fpu_begin/end() and as such
it is not a good idea to use these routines in kvm_load/put_guest_fpu()
which can be very far apart.
kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() routines are already called with
preemption disabled and KVM already uses the preempt notifier to save
the guest fpu state using kvm_put_guest_fpu().
So introduce __kernel_fpu_begin/end() routines which don't touch
preemption and use them instead of kernel_fpu_begin/end()
for KVM's use model of saving/restoring guest FPU state.
Also with this change (and with eagerFPU model), fix the host cr0.TS vm-exit
state in the case of VMX. For eagerFPU case, host cr0.TS is always clear.
So no need to worry about it. For the traditional lazyFPU restore case,
change the cr0.TS bit for the host state during vm-exit to be always clear
and cr0.TS bit is set in the __vmx_load_host_state() when the FPU
(guest FPU or the host task's FPU) state is not active. This ensures
that the host/guest FPU state is properly saved, restored
during context-switch and with interrupts (using irq_fpu_usable()) not
stomping on the active FPU state.

Signal handling contains a bunch of accesses to individual user space
items, which causes an excessive number of STAC and CLAC
instructions. Instead, let get/put_user_try ... get/put_user_catch()
contain the STAC and CLAC instructions.
This means that get/put_user_try no longer nests, and furthermore that
it is no longer legal to use user space access functions other than
__get/put_user_ex() inside those blocks. However, these macros are
x86-specific anyway and are only used in the signal-handling paths; a
simple reordering of moving the larger subroutine calls out of the
try...catch blocks resolves that problem.

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to
userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the
performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new
instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.
This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP
feature is enabled. It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the
SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one
conditional.

The STAC/CLAC instructions are only available with SMAP, but on the
other hand they aren't needed if SMAP is not available, or before we
start to run userspace, so construct them as alternatives which start
out as noops and are enabled by the alternatives mechanism.

While building the SUSE kernel packages, which build the scripts,
make clean, and then build everything, we have been running into spurious
build failures. We tracked them down to a simple dependency issue:
$ make mrproper
CLEAN arch/x86/tools
CLEAN scripts/basic
$ cp patches/config/x86_64/desktop .config
$ make archscripts
HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs
/bin/sh: scripts/basic/fixdep: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [arch/x86/tools/relocs] Error 1
make[2]: *** [archscripts] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
This was introduced by commit
6520fe55 (x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs),
which added the archscripts dependency to archprepare.
This patch adds the scripts_basic dependency to the x86 archscripts.

As the initial domain we are able to search/map certain regions
of memory to harvest configuration data. For all low-level we
use ACPI tables - for interrupts we use exclusively ACPI _PRT
(so DSDT) and MADT for INT_SRC_OVR.
The SMP MP table is not used at all. As a matter of fact we do
not even support machines that only have SMP MP but no ACPI tables.
Lets follow how Moorestown does it and just disable searching
for BIOS SMP tables.
This also fixes an issue on HP Proliant BL680c G5 and DL380 G6:

which is that ioremap would end up mapping 0xff using _PAGE_IOMAP
(which is what early_ioremap sticks as a flag) - which meant
we would get MFN 0xFF (pte ff461, which is OK), and then it would
also map 0x100 (b/c ioremap tries to get page aligned request, and
it was trying to map 0xf4fa0 + PAGE_SIZE - so it mapped the next page)
as _PAGE_IOMAP. Since 0x100 is actually a RAM page, and the _PAGE_IOMAP
bypasses the P2M lookup we would happily set the PTE to 1000461.
Xen would deny the request since we do not have access to the
Machine Frame Number (MFN) of 0x100. The P2M[0x100] is for example
0x80140.

Instead of having to ask this, add this to dmesg so that it is
visible and no ambiguities can ensue from looking at the
official name string of the CPU coming from CPUID and trying
to map it to f/m/s.
Output then looks like this:

Remove the __init annotations in order to keep pci_fixup_irqs() around
after init (e.g. for hotplug). This requires the same change for the
implementation of pcibios_update_irq() on all architectures. While at
it, all __devinit annotations are removed as well, since they will be

Fundamental model of the current Linux kernel is to lazily init and
restore FPU instead of restoring the task state during context switch.
This changes that fundamental lazy model to the non-lazy model for
the processors supporting xsave feature.
Reasons driving this model change are:
i. Newer processors support optimized state save/restore using xsaveopt and
xrstor by tracking the INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch.
This is faster than modifying the cr0.TS bit which has serializing semantics.
ii. Newer glibc versions use SSE for some of the optimized copy/clear routines.
With certain workloads (like boot, kernel-compilation etc), application
completes its work with in the first 5 task switches, thus taking upto 5 #DNA
traps with the kernel not getting a chance to apply the above mentioned
pre-load heuristic.
iii. Some xstate features (like AMD's LWP feature) don't honor the cr0.TS bit
and thus will not work correctly in the presence of lazy restore. Non-lazy
state restore is needed for enabling such features.
Some data on a two socket SNB system:
* Saved 20K DNA exceptions during boot on a two socket SNB system.
* Saved 50K DNA exceptions during kernel-compilation workload.
* Improved throughput of the AVX based checksumming function inside the
kernel by ~15% as xsave/xrstor is faster than the serializing clts/stts
pair.
Also now kernel_fpu_begin/end() relies on the patched
alternative instructions. So move check_fpu() which uses the
kernel_fpu_begin/end() after alternative_instructions().

use kernel_fpu_begin/end() instead of unconditionally accessing cr0 and
saving/restoring just the few used xmm/ymm registers.
This has some advantages like:
* If the task's FPU state is already active, then kernel_fpu_begin()
will just save the user-state and avoiding the read/write of cr0.
In general, cr0 accesses are much slower.
* Manual save/restore of xmm/ymm registers will affect the 'modified' and
the 'init' optimizations brought in the by xsaveopt/xrstor
infrastructure.
* Foward compatibility with future vector register extensions will be a
problem if the xmm/ymm registers are manually saved and restored
(corrupting the extended state of those vector registers).
With this patch, there was no significant difference in the xor throughput
using AVX, measured during boot.

kvm's guest fpu save/restore should be wrapped around
kernel_fpu_begin/end(). This will avoid for example taking a DNA
in kvm_load_guest_fpu() when it tries to load the fpu immediately
after doing unlazy_fpu() on the host side.
More importantly this will prevent the host process fpu from being
corrupted.

Few lines below we do drop_fpu() which is more safer. Remove the

the drop_fpu() to ignore any pending exceptions from the user-space

No need to save the state with unlazy_fpu(), that is about to get overwritten
by the state from the signal frame. Instead use drop_fpu() and continue
to restore the new state.
Also fold the stop_fpu_preload() into drop_fpu().

Currently for x86 and x86_32 binaries, fpstate in the user sigframe is copied
to/from the fpstate in the task struct.
And in the case of signal delivery for x86_64 binaries, if the fpstate is live
in the CPU registers, then the live state is copied directly to the user
sigframe. Otherwise fpstate in the task struct is copied to the user sigframe.
During restore, fpstate in the user sigframe is restored directly to the live
CPU registers.
Historically, different code paths led to different bugs. For example,
x86_64 code path was not preemption safe till recently. Also there is lot
of code duplication for support of new features like xsave etc.
Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels.
New strategy is as follows:
Signal delivery: Both for 32/64-bit frames, align the core math frame area to
64bytes as needed by xsave (this where the main fpu/extended state gets copied
to and excludes the legacy compatibility fsave header for the 32-bit [f]xsave
frames). If the state is live, copy the register state directly to the user
frame. If not live, copy the state in the thread struct to the user frame. And
for 32-bit [f]xsave frames, construct the fsave header separately before
the actual [f]xsave area.
Signal return: As the 32-bit frames with [f]xstate has an additional
'fsave' header, copy everything back from the user sigframe to the
fpstate in the task structure and reconstruct the fxstate from the 'fsave'
header (Also user passed pointers may not be correctly aligned for
any attempt to directly restore any partial state). At the next fpstate usage,
everything will be restored to the live CPU registers.
For all the 64-bit frames and the 32-bit fsave frame, restore the state from
the user sigframe directly to the live CPU registers. 64-bit signals always
restored the math frame directly, so we can expect the math frame pointer
to be correctly aligned. For 32-bit fsave frames, there are no alignment
requirements, so we can restore the state directly.
"lat_sig catch" microbenchmark numbers (for x86, x86_64, x86_32 binaries) are
with in the noise range with this change.
