None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a
kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For
this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all
the way back to 2.6.36.
The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates
writing a breakpoint into a read-only page. The x86 kgdb code can
solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint
set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly.
The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional
probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function.
The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break
point removal routine will get called later on.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines.
Most of it is straight forward conversion. A couple of places needed some
tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler
and mce removes a call to notify_die.
[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/27/114
And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163]
The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines
and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal
to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb
which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived
argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event
in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a
single callback services many perf_events.
Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
(and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event.
The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context.
All callers are updated.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between
DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI.
This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit. Instead of calling the
die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before
the if-statement. This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport
to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent)
internal NMIs are dealt with.

In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities
for the die notifiers.
I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the
notifier blocks. Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created
priorities.
Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the
event DIE_NMI_IPI.

The fix from ba773f7c510c0b252145933926c636c439889207
(x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regression) was not entirely complete.
The kgdb_remove_all_hw_break() function also needs to call the
hw_break_release_slot() or else a breakpoint can get activated again
after the debugger has detached.
The kgdb test suite exposes the behavior in the form of either a hang
or repetitive failure. The kernel config that exposes the problem
contains all of the following:
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100"

HW breakpoints events stopped working correctly with kgdb as a result
of commit: 018cbffe6819f6f8db20a0a3acd9bab9bfd667e4 (Merge commit
'v2.6.33' into perf/core), later commit:
ba773f7c510c0b252145933926c636c439889207 (x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint
regression) allowed breakpoints to propagate to the debugger core but
did not completely address the original regression in functionality
found in 2.6.35.
When the DR_STEP flag is set in dr6 along with any of the DR_TRAP
bits, the kgdb exception handler will enter once from the
hw_breakpoint API call back and again from the die notifier for
do_debug(), which causes the debugger to stop twice and also for the
kgdb regression tests to fail running under kvm with:
echo V2I1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
To address the problem, the kgdb overflow handler needs to implement
the same logic as the ptrace overflow handler call back with respect
to updating the virtual copy of dr6. This will allow the kgdb
do_debug() die notifier to properly handle the exception and the
attached debugger, or kgdb test suite, will only receive a single
notification.

HW breakpoints events stopped working correctly with kgdb
as a result of commit: 018cbffe6819f6f8db20a0a3acd9bab9bfd667e4
(Merge commit 'v2.6.33' into perf/core).
The regression occurred because the behavior changed for setting
NOTIFY_STOP as the return value to the die notifier if the breakpoint
was known to the HW breakpoint API. Because kgdb is using the HW
breakpoint API to register HW breakpoints slots, it must also now
implement the overflow_handler call back else kgdb does not get to see
the events from the die notifier.
The kgdb_ll_trap function will be changed to be general purpose code
which can allow an easy way to implement the hw_breakpoint API
overflow call back.

It is not possible to use the hw_breakpoint.c API prior to mm_init(),
but it is possible to use hardware breakpoints with the kernel
debugger.
Prior to smp_init() it is possible to simply write to the dr registers
of the boot cpu directly. This can be used up until the
kgdb_arch_late() is invoked, at which point the standard hw_breakpoint.c
API will get used.

The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
kernel allocators are initialized.
This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
the kernel has been further initialized.
The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into
the debug core's version of the late init which is called
dbg_late_init();

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception
handler.
Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.
This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
connection.
You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
"$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
gdb stub.
The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a
reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the
kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw
breakpoint reservations.
The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it
can start the kernel running from an invalid context.
A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get
created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint
reservations.
The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently
processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is
improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is
warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the
hardware breakpoint reservations.
Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it
will be a system wide reservation.

In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the
performance event counters. The hw_breakpoint_handler() now
consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb
arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction
with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level
functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and
deal with hw breakpoint reservations.
The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug
anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the
hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw
breakpoint while kgdb is active.
During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will
pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb
will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw
breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API
does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available,
on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint
might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The
intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of
hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the
kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what
restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint
constraints will be dealt with in a future patch.
While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call
arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint()
to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints.
The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool
of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but
neither knows about future reservations for the available hw
breakpoint slots.

On an SMP system the kgdb_single_step flag has the possibility to
indefinitely hang the system in the case. Consider the case where,
CPU 1 has the schedule lock and CPU 0 is set to single step, there is
no way for CPU 0 to run another task.
The easy way to observe the problem is to make 2 cpus busy, and run
the kgdb test suite. You will see that it hangs the system very
quickly.
while [ 1 ] ; do find /proc > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
while [ 1 ] ; do find /proc > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
The side effect of this patch is that there is the possibility
to miss a breakpoint in the case that a single step operation
was executed to step over a breakpoint in common code.
The trade off of the missed breakpoint is preferred to
hanging the kernel. This can be fixed in the future by
using kprobes or another strategy to step over planted
breakpoints with out of line execution.

It is possible for the user_mode_vm(regs) check to return true on the
i368 arch for a non master kgdb cpu or when the master kgdb cpu
handles the NMI watch dog exception.
The solution is simply to select the correct gdb_ss location
based on the check to user_mode_vm(regs).

The for loop starts with a breakno of 0, and ends when it's 4. so
this test is always true.

The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct
pt_regs in 32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually
contain the stack pointer, but rather the location where it would
have been marks the actual previous stack frame. For clarity, use
kernel_stack_pointer() instead of coding this weirdness
explicitly.

This patch resets the bit in dr6 after the corresponding exception is
handled in code, so that we keep a clean track of the current virtual debug
status register.
[ Impact: keep track of breakpoints triggering completion ]

The treatment of the SP register is different on x86_64 and i386.
This is a regression fix that lived outside the mainline kernel from
2.6.27 to now. The regression was a result of the original merge
consolidation of the i386 and x86_64 archs to x86.
The incorrectly reported SP on i386 prevented stack tracebacks from
working correctly in gdb.

struct thread_struct::ip isn't used on x86_64, struct pt_regs::ip is used
instead.
kgdb should be reading 0 always, but I can't check it.
[ Impact: (potentially) reduce thread_struct size on 64-bit ]

Our send_IPI_*() methods and definitions are a twisted mess: the same
symbol is defined to different things depending on .config details,
in a non-transparent way.
- spread out the quirks into separately named per apic driver methods
- prefix the standard PC methods with default_
- get rid of wrapper macro obfuscation
- clean up various details

Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest,
I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test.
Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I
noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via
DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first
invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here.

On x86_64 the gdb serial register structure defines the PS (also known
as eflags), CS and SS registers as 4 bytes entities.
This patch splits the x86_64 regnames enum into a 32 and 64 version to
account for the 32 bit entities in the gdb serial packets.
Also the program counter is properly filled in for the sleeping
threads.
