When async PF capability is detected hook up special page fault handler
that will handle async page fault events and bypass other page faults to
regular page fault handler. Also add async PF handling to nested SVM
emulation. Async PF always generates exit to L1 where vcpu thread will
be scheduled out until page is available.

From the x86_64 low level interrupt handlers, the frame pointer is
saved right after the partial pt_regs frame.
rbp is not supposed to be part of the irq partial saved registers,
but it only requires to extend the pt_regs frame by 8 bytes to
do so, plus a tiny stack offset fixup on irq exit.
This changes a bit the semantics or get_irq_entry() that is supposed
to provide only the value of caller saved registers and the cpu
saved frame. However it's a win for unwinders that can walk through
stack frames on top of get_irq_regs() snapshots.
A noticeable impact is that it makes perf events cpu-clock and
task-clock events based callchains working on x86_64.
Let's then save rbp into the irq pt_regs.
As a result with:
perf record -e cpu-clock perf bench sched messaging
perf report --stdio

gas prior to (perhaps) 2.16.90 has problems with passing non-
parenthesized expressions containing spaces to macros. Spaces, however,
get inserted by cpp between any macro expanding to a number and a
subsequent + or -. For the +, current x86 gas then removes the space
again (future gas may not do so), but for the - the space gets retained
and is then considered a separator between macro arguments.
Fix the respective definitions for both the - and + cases, so that they
neither contain spaces nor make cpp insert any (the latter by adding
seemingly redundant parentheses).

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Set the callback to receive evtchns from Xen, using the
callback vector delivery mechanism.
The traditional way for receiving event channel notifications from Xen
is via the interrupts from the platform PCI device.
The callback vector is a newer alternative that allow us to receive
notifications on any vcpu and doesn't need any PCI support: we allocate
a vector exclusively to receive events, in the vector handler we don't
need to interact with the vlapic, therefore we avoid a VMEXIT.

In the CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL fast-path for x86 64-bit system calls,
we can pass a bad return value and/or error indication for the
system call to audit_syscall_exit(). This happens when
TIF_NEED_RESCHED was set as the system call returned, so we went
out to schedule() and came back to the exit-audit fast-path. The
fix is to reload the user return value register from the pt_regs
before using it for audit_syscall_exit().
Both the 32-bit kernel's fast path and the 64-bit kernel's 32-bit
system call fast paths work slightly differently, so that they
always leave the fast path entirely to reschedule and don't return
there, so they don't have the analogous bugs.

While dumping a stacktrace, the end of the exception stack won't link
the frame pointer to the previous stack.
The interrupted stack will then be considered as unreliable and ignored
by perf, as the frame pointer is unreliable itself.
This happens because we overwrite the frame pointer that links to the
interrupted frame with the address of the exception stack. This is
done in order to reserve space inside.
But rbp has been chosen here only because it is not a scratch register,
so that the address of the exception stack remains in rbp after calling
do_debug(), we can then release the exception stack space without the
need to retrieve its address again.
But we can pick another non-scratch register to do that, so that we
preserve the link to the interrupted stack frame in the stacktraces.
Just randomly choose r12. Every registers are saved just before and
restored just after calling do_debug(). And r12 is not used in the
middle, which makes it a perfect candidate.
Example: perf record -g -a -c 1 -f -e mem:$(tasklist_lock_addr):rw

The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a hook
to trace the exit of the function call. This hook will finish by
returning to the real location the function should return to.
But the current implementation uses a ret to jump to the real
return location. This causes a imbalance between calls and ret.
That is the original function does a call, the ret goes to the
handler and then the handler does a ret without a matching call.
Although the function graph tracer itself still breaks the branch
predictor by replacing the original ret, by using a second ret and
causing an imbalance, it breaks the predictor even more.
This patch replaces the ret with a jmp to keep the calls and ret
balanced. I tested this on one box and it showed a 1.7% increase in
performance. Another box only showed a small 0.3% increase. But no
box that I tested this on showed a decrease in performance by
making this change.

If TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP is set while inside a syscall,
the path back to user mode should get to syscall_trace_leave.
This does happen in most circumstances. The exception to this is on
the 64-bit syscall fastpath, when no such flag was set on syscall
entry and nothing else has punted it off the fastpath for exit. That
one exit fastpath fails to check for _TIF_WORK_SYSCALL_EXIT flags.
This makes the behavior inconsistent with what 32-bit tasks see and
what the native 32-bit kernel always does, and what 64-bit tasks see
in all cases where the iret path is taken anyhow.
Perhaps the only example that is affected is a ptrace stop inside
do_fork (for PTRACE_O_TRACE{CLONE,FORK,VFORK,VFORKDONE}). Other
syscalls with internal ptrace stop points (execve) already take the
iret exit path for unrelated reasons.
Test cases for both PTRACE_SYSCALL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP variants are at:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/syscall-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/step-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap
There was no special benefit to the sysret path's special path to call
do_notify_resume, because it always takes the iret exit path at the end.
So this change just makes the sysret exit path join the iret exit path
for all the signals and ptrace cases. The fastpath still applies to
the plain syscall-audit and resched cases.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.
An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.
This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.
There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.
This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.
This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.
Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled
triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(),
producing ugly backtraces and confusing users.
This is a common situation with machine checks for example which
tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit
in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it
means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which
would be bad.
This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function,
which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other
CPUs.
On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU
smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic
situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex
system state.
I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic
there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch
was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the
underlying complexity problems.
The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by
checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make
this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution
because panic has to be reliable.
So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot
code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus
in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on
too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be
called from interupts off region because it is very very simple.
There can be situations where it is important that panic
is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic
is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly
as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and
all function it calls simple.
This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme.
It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not
particularly precious anymore since all big systems are
using per CPU vectors.
Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar
to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't
work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs
would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts
off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for
using a non NMI vector for now.
I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of
the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down
instead into the next lower priority.

Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.
The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
to call wake_up(). Instead it set a process flag
and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
or in the idle notifier.
This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.
The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
wake_up().
When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.
Contains fixes from Ying Huang.

Native x86-64 uses the IST mechanism to run int3 and debug traps on
an alternative stack. Xen does not do this, and so the frames were
being misinterpreted by the ptrace code. This change special-cases
these two exceptions by using Xen variants which run on the normal
kernel stack properly.

I hit the check_flags error of lockdep:
WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2893 check_flags+0x1a7/0x1d0()

softirqs last disabled at (12568): [<ffffffff8058454e>] tcp_prequeue_process+0x2e/0xa0
The check_flags warning of lockdep tells me that lockdep thought interrupts
were disabled, but they were really enabled.
The numbers in the above parenthesis show the order of events:
12566: softirqs last enabled: lock_sock_nested
12567: hardirqs last enabled: local_bh_enable
12568: softirqs last disabled: tcp_prequeue_process
12566: hardirqs last disabled: int3
int3 is a breakpoint!
Examining this further, I have CONFIG_NET_TCPPROBE enabled which adds
break points into the kernel.
The paranoid_exit of the return of int3 does not account for enabling
interrupts on return to kernel. This code is a bit tricky since it
is also used by the nmi handler (when lockdep is off), and we must be
careful about the swapgs. We can not call kernel code after the swapgs
has been performed.

Impact: speed up
The return to handler portion of the function graph tracer should only
need to save the return values. The caller already saved off the
registers that the callee can modify. The returning function already
saved the registers it modified. When we call our own trace function
it too will save the registers that the callee must restore.
There's no reason to save off anything more that the registers used
to return the values.
Note, I did a complete kernel build with this modification and the
function graph tracer running on x86_64.
