There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains
a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who
knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of
some other code.
Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic
incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real
vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the
middle.
This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real
syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them.
The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc
through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times
per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the
development tree.
This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet
functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might
involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

Just re-arrange the code a bit to make it easier to follow what is
going on. Basically un-negating the if-statement and swapping the code
inside the if-statement with code outside.
No functional changes.

In original NMI handler, NMI reason io port (0x61) is only processed
on BSP. This makes it impossible to hot-remove BSP. To solve the
issue, a raw spinlock is used to allow the port to be processed on any
CPU.

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.

Replace the NMI related magic numbers with symbol constants.
Memory parity error is only valid for IBM PC-AT, newer machine use
bit 7 (0x80) of 0x61 port for PCI SERR. While memory error is usually
reported via MCE. So corresponding function name and kernel log string
is changed.
But on some machines, PCI SERR line is still used to report memory
errors. This is used by EDAC, so corresponding EDAC call is reserved.

Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the
unknown_nmi_panic to the traps.c file. Because the old nmi
watchdog was deleted before this change happened, the
unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost. This re-adds it.
Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its
documentation updated accordingly.

Now that the bulk of the old nmi_watchdog is gone, remove all
the stub variables and hooks associated with it.
This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic
nmi_watchdog was implemented. Now that the io_apic nmi_watchdog
is forever gone, remove all its fingers.
Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of
nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to
risky here.

Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and
sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old
nmi_watchdog any more.
In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are
using the default clocksource, hpet. The old nmi_watchdog code
relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still
alive. With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't
increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false
postives.
This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any
variables and functions calls. The stubs are the same ones used
by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.

Impact: fix kernel bug such as:

Commits 4915a35e35a037254550a2ba9f367a812bc37d40
("Use preempt_conditional_sti/cli in do_int3, like on x86_64.")
and 3d2a71a596bd9c761c8487a2178e95f8a61da083
("x86, traps: converge do_debug handlers")
started disabling preemption in int1 and int3 handlers on i386.
The problem with vm86 is that the call to handle_vm86_trap() may jump
straight to entry_32.S and never returns so preempt is never enabled
again, and there is an imbalance in the preempt count.
Commit be716615fe596ee117292dc615e95f707fb67fd1 ("x86, vm86:
fix preemption bug"), which was later (accidentally?) reverted by commit
08d68323d1f0c34452e614263b212ca556dae47f ("hw-breakpoints: modifying
generic debug exception to use thread-specific debug registers")
fixed the problem for debug exceptions but not for breakpoints.
There are three solutions to this problem.
1. Reenable preemption before calling handle_vm86_trap(). This
was the approach that was later reverted.
2. Do not disable preemption for i386 in breakpoint and debug handlers.
This was the situation before October 2008. As far as I understand
preemption only needs to be disabled on x86_64 because a seperate stack is
used, but it's nice to have things work the same way on
i386 and x86_64.
3. Let handle_vm86_trap() return instead of jumping to assembly code.
By setting a flag in _TIF_WORK_MASK, either TIF_IRET or TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
the code in entry_32.S is instructed to return to 32 bit mode from
V86 mode. The logic in entry_32.S was already present to handle signals.
(I chose TIF_IRET because it's slightly more efficient in
do_notify_resume() in signal.c, but in fact TIF_IRET can probably be
replaced by TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME everywhere.)
I'm submitting approach 3, because I believe it is the most elegant
and prevents future confusion. Still, an obvious
preempt_conditional_cli(regs); is necessary in traps.c to correct the
bug.
[ hpa: This is technically a regression, but because:
1. the regression is so old,
2. the patch seems relatively high risk, justifying more testing, and
3. we're late in the 2.6.36-rc cycle,
I'm queuing it up for the 2.6.37 merge window. It might, however,
justify as a -stable backport at a latter time, hence Cc: stable. ]

Before we had a generic breakpoint layer, x86 used to send a
sigtrap for any debug event that happened in userspace,
except if it was caused by lazy dr7 switches.
Currently we only send such signal for single step or breakpoint
events.
However, there are three other kind of debug exceptions:
- debug register access detected: trigger an exception if the
next instruction touches the debug registers. We don't use
it.
- task switch, but we don't use tss.
- icebp/int01 trap. This instruction (0xf1) is undocumented and
generates an int 1 exception. Unlike single step through TF
flag, it doesn't set the single step origin of the exception
in dr6.
icebp then used to be reported in userspace using trap signals
but this have been incidentally broken with the new breakpoint
code. Reenable this. Since this is the only debug event that
doesn't set anything in dr6, this is all we have to check.
This fixes a regression in Wine where World Of Warcraft got broken
as it uses this for software protection checks purposes. And
probably other apps do.

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.

The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very
similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's
suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file:
kernel/watchdog.c.
Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup
detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every
60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups.
To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I
implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event
overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is
most likely in trouble.
To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the
previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires.
If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the
warning is printed to the console.
I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths
work.
V2:
- cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination
- surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
- seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem
- re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space
- added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases
- removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events
V3:
- comment cleanups
- drop support for older softlockup code
- per_cpu cleanups
- completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector
- use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection
- #ifdef cleanups
- rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR
- documentation additions
V4:
- documentation fixes
- convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var
- powerpc compile fixes
V5:
- split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups
TODO:
- figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call
(if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period

The cache flush denied error is an erratum on some AMD 486 clones. If an invd
instruction is executed in userspace, the processor calls exception 19 (13 hex)

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.
Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.
So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

In order to handle a new nmi_watchdog approach, I need to move
the notify_die() routine out of nmi_watchdog_tick() and into
default_do_nmi(). This lets me easily swap out the old
nmi_watchdog with the new one with just a config change.
The change probably makes sense from a high level perspective
because the nmi_watchdog shouldn't be handling notify_die
routines anyway. However, this move does change the semantics a
little bit. Instead of checking on every nmi interrupt if the
cpus are stuck, only check them on the nmi_watchdog interrupts.

* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h --
not needed after kref conversion
* remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it
NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however
due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related
headers and files alone.

The .data.idt section is just squashed into the .data.page_aligned
output section by the linker script anyway, so it might as well be in
the .data.page_aligned section.
This eliminates all references to .data.idt on x86.

This patch introduces a new sysctl:
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
which defaults to 0 (off).
When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.
The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.
[ SuSE has been shipping it for a while, it was done at the
request of a large database vendor, for their users. ]

Split the core fpu state restoration out into __math_state_restore, which
assumes that cr0.TS is clear and that the fpu context has been initialized.
This will be used during context switch. There are two reasons this is
desireable:
- There's a small clarification. When __switch_to() calls math_state_restore,
it relies on the fact that tsk_used_math() returns true, and so will
never do a blocking init_fpu(). __math_state_restore() does not have
(or need) that logic, so the question never arises.
- It allows the clts() to be moved earler in __switch_to() so it can be performed
while cpu context updates are batched (will be done in a later patch).

There are 2 headers:
arch/x86/include/asm/mce.h
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.h
and in the latter small header:
#include <asm/mce.h>
This patch move all contents in the latter header into the former,
and fix all files using the latter to include the former instead.
