We now added a new set of clock-related msrs in replacement of the old
ones. In theory, we could just try to use them and get a return value
indicating they do not exist, due to our use of kvm_write_msr_save.
However, kvm clock registration happens very early, and if we ever
try to write to a non-existant MSR, we raise a lethal #GP, since our
idt handlers are not in place yet.
So this patch tests for a cpuid feature exported by the host to
decide which set of msrs are supported.

In recent stress tests, it was found that pvclock-based systems
could seriously warp in smp systems. Using ingo's time-warp-test.c,
I could trigger a scenario as bad as 1.5mi warps a minute in some systems.
(to be fair, it wasn't that bad in most of them). Investigating further, I
found out that such warps were caused by the very offset-based calculation
pvclock is based on.
This happens even on some machines that report constant_tsc in its tsc flags,
specially on multi-socket ones.
Two reads of the same kernel timestamp at approx the same time, will likely
have tsc timestamped in different occasions too. This means the delta we
calculate is unpredictable at best, and can probably be smaller in a cpu
that is legitimately reading clock in a forward ocasion.
Some adjustments on the host could make this window less likely to happen,
but still, it pretty much poses as an intrinsic problem of the mechanism.
A while ago, I though about using a shared variable anyway, to hold clock
last state, but gave up due to the high contention locking was likely
to introduce, possibly rendering the thing useless on big machines. I argue,
however, that locking is not necessary.
We do a read-and-return sequence in pvclock, and between read and return,
the global value can have changed. However, it can only have changed
by means of an addition of a positive value. So if we detected that our
clock timestamp is less than the current global, we know that we need to
return a higher one, even though it is not exactly the one we compared to.
OTOH, if we detect we're greater than the current time source, we atomically
replace the value with our new readings. This do causes contention on big
boxes (but big here means *BIG*), but it seems like a good trade off, since
it provide us with a time source guaranteed to be stable wrt time warps.
After this patch is applied, I don't see a single warp in time during 5 days
of execution, in any of the machines I saw them before.

This patch removes one padding byte and transform it into a flags
field. New versions of guests using pvclock will query these flags
upon each read.
Flags, however, will only be interpreted when the guest decides to.
It uses the pvclock_valid_flags function to signal that a specific
set of flags should be taken into consideration. Which flags are valid
are usually devised via HV negotiation.

Per document, for feature control MSR:
Bit 1 enables VMXON in SMX operation. If the bit is clear, execution
of VMXON in SMX operation causes a general-protection exception.
Bit 2 enables VMXON outside SMX operation. If the bit is clear, execution
of VMXON outside SMX operation causes a general-protection exception.
This patch is to enable this kind of check with SMX for VMXON in KVM.

When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it
might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the
kernel stack boundaries, like in this example:
perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
schedule+0x6b5/0x860
retint_careful+0xd/0x21
Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while
rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash.
Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the
frame pointer.
This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the
first caller.

Hit another kdump problem as reported by Neil Horman. When initializaing
the IOMMU, we attach devices to their domains before the IOMMU is
fully (re)initialized. Attaching a device will issue some important
invalidations. In the context of the newly kexec'd kdump kernel, the
IOMMU may have stale cached data from the original kernel. Because we
do the attach too early, the invalidation commands are placed in the new
command buffer before the IOMMU is updated w/ that buffer. This leaves
the stale entries in the kdump context and can renders device unusable.
Simply enable the IOMMU before we do the attach.

Jan Grossmann reported kernel boot panic while booting SMP
kernel on his system with a single core cpu. SMP kernels call
enable_IR_x2apic() from native_smp_prepare_cpus() and on
platforms where the kernel doesn't find SMP configuration we
ended up again calling enable_IR_x2apic() from the
APIC_init_uniprocessor() call in the smp_sanity_check(). Thus
leading to kernel panic.
Don't call enable_IR_x2apic() and default_setup_apic_routing()
from APIC_init_uniprocessor() in CONFIG_SMP case.
NOTE: this kind of non-idempotent and assymetric initialization
sequence is rather fragile and unclean, we'll clean that up
in v2.6.35. This is the minimal fix for v2.6.34.

Stephane noticed that the ANY flag was in generic arch code, and Cyrill
reported that it broke the P4 code.
Solve this by merging x86_pmu::raw_event into x86_pmu::hw_config and
provide intel_pmu and amd_pmu specific versions of this callback.
The intel_pmu one deals with the ANY flag, the amd_pmu adds the few extra
event bits AMD64 has.

When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing
stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory
address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a
64-bit pointer).
Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the
TIF_IA32 flag is set.
Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because
the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall,
which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for
example).

Commit 3f6da39 ("perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks") moved
the amd northbridge allocation from CPUS_ONLINE to CPUS_PREPARE_UP
however amd_nb_id() doesn't work yet on prepare so it would simply bail
basically reverting to a state where we do not properly track node wide
constraints - causing weird perf results.
Fix up the AMD NorthBridge initialization code by allocating from
CPU_UP_PREPARE and installing it from CPU_STARTING once we have the
proper nb_id. It also properly deals with the allocation failing.

We think there exists a bug in the HPET code that emulates the RTC.
In the normal case, when the RTC frequency is set, the rtc driver tells
the hpet code about it here:
int hpet_set_periodic_freq(unsigned long freq)
{
uint64_t clc;
if (!is_hpet_enabled())
return 0;
if (freq <= DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ)
hpet_pie_limit = DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ / freq;
else {
clc = (uint64_t) hpet_clockevent.mult * NSEC_PER_SEC;
do_div(clc, freq);
clc >>= hpet_clockevent.shift;
hpet_pie_delta = (unsigned long) clc;
}
return 1;
}
If freq is set to 64Hz (DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) or lower, then
hpet_pie_limit (a static) is set to non-zero. Then, on every one-shot
HPET interrupt, hpet_rtc_timer_reinit is called to compute the next
timeout. Well, that function has this logic:
if (!(hpet_rtc_flags & RTC_PIE) || hpet_pie_limit)
delta = hpet_default_delta;
else
delta = hpet_pie_delta;
Since hpet_pie_limit is not 0, hpet_default_delta is used. That
corresponds to 64Hz.
Now, if you set a different rtc frequency, you'll take the else path
through hpet_set_periodic_freq, but unfortunately no one resets
hpet_pie_limit back to 0.
Boom....now you are stuck with 64Hz RTC interrupts forever.
The patch below just resets the hpet_pie_limit value when requested freq
is greater than DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ, which we think fixes this problem.

This is a chipset erratum.
Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and
hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for
this particular erratum.
Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a
write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most
recently written value.
Erratum 15 in
"Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update"
(http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf)
Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first
one fails.

We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap.
That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI,
but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping
reservations in 2.6.33.
Earlier kernels handled this without problems.
Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid
the panic.

It is required to call hw_breakpoint_init() on an attr before using it
in any other calls. This fixes the problem where kgdb will sometimes
fail to initialize on x86_64.

Scheduler's task migration events don't work because they always
pass NULL regs perf_sw_event(). The event hence gets filtered
in perf_swevent_add().
Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get
the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to
do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went
to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is
even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread.
Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the
non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults
or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event,
we need to save the current context.
This makes the task migration event working and fix the context
switch callchains and origin ip.

Rusty found on lguest with trim_bios_range, max_pfn is not right anymore, and
looks e820_remove_range does not work right.
[ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[ 0.000000] LGUEST: 0000000000000000 - 0000000004000000 (usable)
[ 0.000000] Notice: NX (Execute Disable) protection missing in CPU or disabled in BIOS!
[ 0.000000] DMI not present or invalid.
[ 0.000000] last_pfn = 0x3fa0 max_arch_pfn = 0x100000
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: 0000000000000000-0000000003fa0000
root cause is: the e820_remove_range doesn't handle the all covered
case. e820_remove_range(BIOS_START, BIOS_END - BIOS_START, ...)
produces a bogus range as a result.
Make it match e820_update_range() by handling that case too.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or
in a more compact fashion.
Example:
Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57
Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56
The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned.
Last page could be shared with other users.
When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page
could be freed and we could corrupt other data.
code segment in free_init_pages():
| for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) {
| ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
| init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr));
| memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)),
| POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE);
| free_page(addr);
| totalram_pages++;
| }
last half page could be used as one whole free page.
So page align the boundaries.
-v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to
Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page.
we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could
confuse decompressor.
-v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes.
-v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes.
We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN
Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned
in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it
to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes.
-v6: remove one WARN()
We need to align beginning in free_init_pages()
do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes

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.
