Brian Gerst 26f80bd6a9 x86-64: Convert irqstacks to per-cpu
Move the irqstackptr variable from the PDA to per-cpu.  Make the
stacks themselves per-cpu, removing some specific allocation code.
Add a seperate flag (is_boot_cpu) to simplify the per-cpu boot
adjustments.

tj: * sprinkle some underbars around.

    * irq_stack_ptr is not used till traps_init(), no reason to
      initialize it early.  On SMP, just leaving it NULL till proper
      initialization in setup_per_cpu_areas() works.  Dropped
      is_boot_cpu and early irq_stack_ptr initialization.

    * do DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU(char[IRQ_STACK_SIZE], irq_stack)
      instead of (char, irq_stack[IRQ_STACK_SIZE]).

Tejun Heo 9939ddaff5 x86: merge 64 and 32 SMP percpu handling
Now that pda is allocated as part of percpu, percpu doesn't need to be
accessed through pda.  Unify x86_64 SMP percpu access with x86_32 SMP
one.  Other than the segment register, operand size and the base of
percpu symbols, they behave identical now.

This patch replaces now unnecessary pda->data_offset with a dummy
field which is necessary to keep stack_canary at its place.  This
patch also moves per_cpu_offset initialization out of init_gdt() into
setup_per_cpu_areas().  Note that this change also necessitates
explicit per_cpu_offset initializations in voyager_smp.c.

With this change, x86_OP_percpu()'s are as efficient on x86_64 as on
x86_32 and also x86_64 can use assembly PER_CPU macros.

Benjamin LaHaise 7106a5ab89 x86-64: remove locked instruction from switch_to()
Impact: micro-optimization

The patch below removes an unnecessary locked instruction from
switch_to().  TIF_FORK is only ever set in copy_thread() on initial
process creation, and gets cleared during the first scheduling of the
process.  As such, it is safe to use an unlocked test for the flag
within switch_to().

Frederic Weisbecker 48d68b20d0 tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64
Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86

This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64.
Both static and dynamic tracing are supported.

This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I
wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address
saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion.

That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these
function for other archs ports.

Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first
thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I
believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the
case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer).

So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to
enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at
this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags).

A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the
tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not
initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and,
after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to
trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I
hadn't problems with it.

Ingo Molnar 5b3eec0c80 x86: ret_from_fork - get rid of jump back
Impact: remove dead code

If we take a closer look at the rff_trace/rff_action ret_from_fork code,
we have to realize that it does all the wrong things: for example it
checks the TIF flag - while later on jumping back to the ret-from-syscall
path - duplicating the check needlessly.

But checking for _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is completely unnecessary here because
we clear that flag for every freshly forked task. So the whole "tracing"
code here, for which there is a out of line jump optimization that makes
it even harder to read, is in reality completely dead code ...

Alexander van Heukelum ddeb8f2149 x86_64: get rid of the use of KPROBE_ENTRY / KPROBE_END
Impact: clean up assembly macros and annotations - with some object impact

entry_64.S is the only user of KPROBE_ENTRY / KPROBE_END on
x86_64. This patch reorders entry_64.S and explicitly generates
a separate section for functions that need the protection. The
generated code before and after the patch is equal.

Implicitly changing sections in assembly files makes it more
difficult to follow why the assembler is doing certain things.
For example,

.p2align 5
KPROBE_ENTRY(...)

was not doing what you would expect. Other section changes
(__ex_table, .fixup, .init.rodata) are done explicitly already.

jia zhang 5f5db59132 x86, debug: remove the confusing entry in call trace
Impact: improve backtrace quality

avoid the confusion in call trace because of the lack of padding at the
tail of function.

When do_exit gets called, the return address behind call instruction is
pushed into stack. If something get wrong in do_exit, for x86_64, the
entry "kernel_execve +0x00/0xXX" rather than "child_rip +0xYY/0xZZ" is
in the call trace.

That looks confusing, so add a u2d to make the return address still part
of the original call site. (This also catches any instances of us returning
from that function somehow.)

Alexander van Heukelum d99015b1ab x86: move entry_64.S register saving out of the macros
Here is a combined patch that moves "save_args" out-of-line for
the interrupt macro and moves "error_entry" mostly out-of-line
for the zeroentry and errorentry macros.

The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy
to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch
code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the
calling function. Normal interrupts arrive with ((~vector)-0x80)
on the stack, which gets adjusted in common_interrupt:

<common_interrupt>:
(5)  addq   $0xffffffffffffff80,(%rsp)		/* -> ~(vector) */
(4)  sub    $0x50,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5)  callq  ffffffff80214290 <do_IRQ>
<ret_from_intr>:
     ...

An apic interrupt stub now look like this:

<thermal_interrupt>:
(5)  pushq  $0xffffffffffffff05			/* ~(vector) */
(4)  sub    $0x50,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5)  callq  ffffffff80212b8f <smp_thermal_interrupt>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff80211f93 <ret_from_intr>

Similarly the exception handler register saving function becomes
simpler, without the need of any parameter shuffling. The stub
for an exception without errorcode looks like this:

<overflow>:
(6)  callq  *0x1cad12(%rip)        # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(2)  pushq  $0xffffffffffffffff			/* no syscall */
(4)  sub    $0x78,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3)  mov    %rsp,%rdi				/* pt_regs pointer */
(2)  xor    %esi,%esi				/* no error code */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80213446 <do_overflow>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>

And one for an exception with errorcode like this:

<segment_not_present>:
(6)  callq  *0x1cab92(%rip)        # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(4)  sub    $0x78,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3)  mov    %rsp,%rdi				/* pt_regs pointer */
(5)  mov    0x78(%rsp),%rsi			/* load error code */
(9)  movq   $0xffffffffffffffff,0x78(%rsp)	/* no syscall */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80213209 <do_segment_not_present>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>

Unfortunately, this last type is more than 32 bytes. But the total space
savings due to this patch is about 2500 bytes on an smp-configuration,
and I think the code is clearer than it was before. The tested kernels
were non-paravirt ones (i.e., without the indirect call at the top of
the exception handlers).

Anyhow, I tested this patch on top of a recent -tip. The machine
was an 2x4-core Xeon at 2333MHz. Measured where the delays between
(almost-)adjacent rdtsc instructions. The graphs show how much
time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured
delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent
outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were
started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added.
For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle
condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0.
Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs
for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there
are small differences.

H. Peter Anvin 939b787130 x86: 64 bits: shrink and align IRQ stubs
Move the IRQ stub generation to assembly to simplify it and for
consistency with 32 bits.  Doing it in a C file with asm() statements
doesn't help clarity, and it prevents some optimizations.

Shrink the IRQ stubs down to just over four bytes per (we fit seven
into a 32-byte chunk.)  This shrinks the total icache consumption of
the IRQ stubs down to an even kilobyte, if all of them are in active
use.

The downside is that we end up with a double jump, which could have a
negative effect on some pipelines.  The double jump is always inside
the same cacheline on any modern chips.

To get the most effect, cache-align the IRQ stubs.

This makes the 64-bit code match changes already done to the 32-bit
code, and should open up irqinit*.c for unification.

It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing
fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine.

The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs
that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount
arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code.

x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this.

x86 now sets up the mcount locations through the build and no longer

the initial mcount to simply return. There's no need to do any other work.
If the ftrace start up test fails, the original mcount will be what everything

Roland McGrath 15e8f348db x86_64: remove bogus optimization in sysret_signal
This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me.
AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were,
it would go wrong.  To wit, try loading a module whose init
function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash
(presumably with a wrong user stack pointer).

This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet
when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to
int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to
have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.

I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no
_TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are
already superfluous.  If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call
do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do.

Roland McGrath d4d6715016 x86 ptrace: unify syscall tracing
This unifies and cleans up the syscall tracing code on i386 and x86_64.

Using a single function for entry and exit tracing on 32-bit made the
do_syscall_trace() into some terrible spaghetti.  The logic is clear and
simple using separate syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_trace_leave()
functions as on 64-bit.

The unification adds PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support
on x86_64, for 32-bit ptrace() callers and for 64-bit ptrace() callers
tracing either 32-bit or 64-bit tasks.  It behaves just like 32-bit.

Changing syscall_trace_enter() to return the syscall number shortens
all the assembly paths, while adding the SYSEMU feature in a simple way.

Roland McGrath eca91e7838 x86_64: fix delayed signals
On three of the several paths in entry_64.S that call
do_notify_resume() on the way back to user mode, we fail to properly
check again for newly-arrived work that requires another call to
do_notify_resume() before going to user mode.  These paths set the
mask to check only _TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but this is wrong.  The other
paths that lead to do_notify_resume() do this correctly already, and
entry_32.S does it correctly in all cases.

All paths back to user mode have to check all the _TIF_WORK_MASK
flags at the last possible stage, with interrupts disabled.
Otherwise, we miss any flags (TIF_SIGPENDING for example) that were
set any time after we entered do_notify_resume().  More work flags
can be set (or left set) synchronously inside do_notify_resume(), as
TIF_SIGPENDING can be, or asynchronously by interrupts or other CPUs
(which then send an asynchronous interrupt).

There are many different scenarios that could hit this bug, most of
them races.  The simplest one to demonstrate does not require any
race: when one signal has done handler setup at the check before
returning from a syscall, and there is another signal pending that
should be handled.  The second signal's handler should interrupt the
first signal handler before it actually starts (so the interrupted PC
is still at the handler's entry point).  Instead, it runs away until
the next kernel entry (next syscall, tick, etc).

This test behaves correctly on 32-bit kernels, and fails on 64-bit
(either 32-bit or 64-bit test binary).  With this fix, it works.

Cliff Wickman 1812924bb1 x86, SGI UV: TLB shootdown using broadcast assist unit
TLB shootdown for SGI UV.

Depends on patch (in tip/x86/irq):
   x86-update-macros-used-by-uv-platform.patch   Jack Steiner May 29

This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on
the local node.  The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush
messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit".

The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to
native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c).

This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware
is not yet available.

The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics.
The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of
many /sys files.  The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics
should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging.

Issues to be fixed later:
- The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200
  (see UV_BAU_MESSAGE).  It should be dynamically assigned in the future.
- The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem
  in the simulator.

Vegard Nossum 9d8ad5d6c7 x86: don't destroy %rbp on kernel-mode faults
From the code:

    "B stepping K8s sometimes report an truncated RIP for IRET exceptions
    returning to compat mode. Check for these here too."

The code then proceeds to truncate the upper 32 bits of %rbp. This means
that when do_page_fault() is finally called, its prologue,

    do_page_fault:
        push %rbp
        movl %rsp, %rbp

will put the truncated base pointer on the stack. This means that the
stack tracer will not be able to follow the base-pointer changes and
will see all subsequent stack frames as unreliable.

This patch changes the code to use a different register (%rcx) for the
checking and leaves %rbp untouched.

Steven Rostedt d61f82d066 ftrace: use dynamic patching for updating mcount calls
This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function
pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the
dynamic ftrace routines.

On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function.
When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub
is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records
the instruction pointers of the locations that call it.

Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all
the locations to nops.

When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now
be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call
to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched
when the function that should be called is updated.

All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any
type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code
on the fly.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 16444a8a40 ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentation
If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is
set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime
we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"
attribute.

The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
happens to be registered.

[ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
  so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]

Update:
  It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
  If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
  function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
  is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
  through the functions to call.

Roland McGrath a31f8dd7ee x86: ptrace vs -ENOSYS
When we're stopped at syscall entry tracing, ptrace can change the %rax
value from -ENOSYS to something else.  If no system call is actually made
because the syscall number (now in orig_rax) is bad, then we now always
reset %rax to -ENOSYS again.

This changes it to leave the return value alone after entry tracing.
That way, the %rax value set by ptrace is there to be seen in user mode
(or in syscall exit tracing).  This is consistent with what the 32-bit
kernel does.

To fix this we pass in pt_regs by pointer.

Roland McGrath a57dae3aa4 x86: fix iret exception recovery on 64-bit
This change broke recovery of exceptions in iret:

   commit 72fe485854
   Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>

       x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros

The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq
instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction.
It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing
its nearby use.  Removing it would have revealed the other use of the
label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising
the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this
subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.

Unify the x86-64 behavior for 32-bit processes that set
bogus %cs/%ss values (the only ones that can fault in iret)
match what the native i386 behavior is. (do not kill the task
via do_exit but generate a SIGSEGV signal)

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 72fe485854 x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros
The assembly code in entry_64.S issues a bunch of privileged instructions,
like cli, sti, swapgs, and others. Paravirt guests are forbidden to do so,
and we then replace them with macros that will do the right thing.

Peter Zijlstra 8f4d37ec07 sched: high-res preemption tick
Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick.

The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice
level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair'
by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to
minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on.

The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency.
Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the
sched_latency period is important.

Andrey Mirkin 1c5b5cfd29 x86: return correct error code from child_rip in x86_64 entry.S
Right now register edi is just cleared before calling do_exit.
That is wrong because correct return value will be ignored.
Value from rax should be copied to rdi instead of clearing edi.
