Joe Perches c767a54ba0 x86/debug: Add KERN_<LEVEL> to bare printks, convert printks to pr_<level>
Use a more current logging style:

 - Bare printks should have a KERN_<LEVEL> for consistency's sake
 - Add pr_fmt where appropriate
 - Neaten some macro definitions
 - Convert some Ok output to OK
 - Use "%s: ", __func__ in pr_fmt for summit
 - Convert some printks to pr_<level>

Message output is not identical in all cases.

Linus Torvalds ec0d7f18ab Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull fpu state cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree streamlines further aspects of FPU handling by eliminating
  the prepare_to_copy() complication and moving that logic to
  arch_dup_task_struct().

  It also fixes the FPU dumps in threaded core dumps, removes and old
  (and now invalid) assumption plus micro-optimizes the exit path by
  avoiding an FPU save for dead tasks."

Fixed up trivial add-add conflict in arch/sh/kernel/process.c that came
in because we now do the FPU handling in arch_dup_task_struct() rather
than the legacy (and now gone) prepare_to_copy().

 "The biggest change is the cleanup/simplification of the load-balancer:
  instead of the current practice of architectures twiddling scheduler

  This inevitably changes balancing behavior - hopefully for the better.

Alex Shi c6ae41e7d4 x86: replace percpu_xxx funcs with this_cpu_xxx
Since percpu_xxx() serial functions are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx().
Removing percpu_xxx() definition and replacing them by this_cpu_xxx()
in code. There is no function change in this patch, just preparation for
later percpu_xxx serial function removing.

On x86 machine the this_cpu_xxx() serial functions are same as
__this_cpu_xxx() without no unnecessary premmpt enable/disable.

Thanks for Stephen Rothwell, he found and fixed a i386 build error in
the patch.

Also thanks for Andrew Morton, he kept updating the patchset in Linus'
tree.

Jan Beulich 57da8b960b x86: Avoid double stack traces with show_regs()
What was called show_registers() so far already showed a stack
trace for kernel faults, and kernel_stack_pointer() isn't even
valid to be used for faults from user mode, hence it was
pointless for show_regs() to call show_trace() after
show_registers().

Simply rename show_registers() to show_regs() and eliminate
the old definition.

Srivatsa S. Bhat 19209bbb86 x86/sched: Make mwait_usable() heed to "idle=" kernel parameters properly
The checks that exist in mwait_usable() for "idle=" kernel
parameters are insufficient. As a result, mwait_usable() can
return 1 even if "idle=nomwait" or "idle=poll" or "idle=halt"
parameters are passed.

Of these cases, incorrect handling of idle=nomwait is a
universal problem since mwait can get used for usual CPU idling.
However the rest of the cases are problematic only during CPU
Hotplug (offline) because, in the CPU offline path, the function
mwait_play_dead() is called, which might result in mwait being
used in the offline CPUs, if mwait_usable() happens to return 1.

Fix these issues by checking for the boot time "idle=" kernel
parameter properly in mwait_usable().

The first issue (usual cpu idling) is demonstrated below:

Before applying the patch (dmesg snippet):

 [    0.000000] Command line: [...] idle=nomwait
 [    0.000000] Kernel command line: [...] idle=nomwait
 [    0.000000]  RCU dyntick-idle grace-period acceleration is enabled.

After applying the patch:

 [    0.000000] Kernel command line: [...] idle=nomwait
 [    0.000000]  RCU dyntick-idle grace-period acceleration is enabled.

Len Brown f6365201d8 x86: Remove the ancient and deprecated disable_hlt() and enable_hlt() facility
The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the
32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the
HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially
it turned off the use of HLT.

This workaround was commented in the code as:

 "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"

 "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA
  wreckage. It should be safe to remove."

H. Peter Anvin additionally adds:

 "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of
  flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to
  run DOS.  Since DOS did no power management of any kind,
  including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed
  to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT
  caused some of these systems to fail.

  They were by far in the minority even back then."

Alan Cox further says:

 "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT
  occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during
  DMA tended to go astray.

  Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520
  fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of
  use."

So, let's finally drop this.

Richard Weinberger 90e240142b x86: Merge the x86_32 and x86_64 cpu_idle() functions
Both functions are mostly identical.
The differences are:

- x86_32's cpu_idle() makes use of check_pgt_cache(), which is a
  nop on both x86_32 and x86_64.

- x86_64's cpu_idle() uses enter/__exit_idle/(), on x86_32 these
  function are a nop.

- In contrast to x86_32, x86_64 calls rcu_idle_enter/exit() in
  the innermost loop because idle notifications need RCU.
  Calling these function on x86_32 also in the innermost loop
  does not hurt.

So we can merge both functions.

Linus Torvalds 1361b83a13 i387: Split up <asm/i387.h> into exported and internal interfaces
While various modules include <asm/i387.h> to get access to things we
actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really
pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to
others.

So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain
in <asm/i387.h>, while the internal definitions that are only used by
core architecture code are now in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.

The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to
modules, and leave them in <asm/i387.h>, while stuff that is used by
task switching or was marked GPL-only is in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.

The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since
arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module.  But that
kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the
internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained.  Even if it
isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.

Seiichi Ikarashi 1cf8343f55 x86: Fix rflags in FAKE_STACK_FRAME
The x86_64 kernel pushes the fake kernel stack in
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:FAKE_STACK_FRAME, and
rflags register in it does not conform to the specification.

Although Intel's manual[1] says bit 1 of it shall be set to 1,
this bit is cleared to 0 on pushing the fake stack.

[1] Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
    Vol.1 3-21 Figure 3-8. EFLAGS Register

If it is not on purpose, it is better to be fixed, because
it can lead some tools misunderstanding the stack frame. For example,
"crash" utility[2] actually detects it and warns you like
below:

       RIP: ffffffff8005dfa2  RSP: ffff8104ce0c7f58  RFLAGS: 00000200

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk e5fd47bfab xen/pm_idle: Make pm_idle be default_idle under Xen.
The idea behind commit d91ee5863b ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86
pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle()
which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code.  It disallows
cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent).

But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still
be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle.  This
depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU.

In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor
(Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get:

In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we
do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then
follow it up with a yield hypercall.  Meaning we end up going to
hypervisor twice instead of just once.

The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to
default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup.

We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen.  This patch
does that.

Andy Whitcroft 60b8b1de0d x86 idle: APM requires pm_idle/default_idle unconditionally when a module
[ Also from Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> and Vitaliy Ivanov

Commit 06ae40ce07 ("x86 idle: EXPORT_SYMBOL(default_idle, pm_idle)

unless the apm module was modularised and CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE was set.

But the apm module uses pm_idle/default_idle unconditionally,
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE only affects the bios idle threshold.  Adjust the
export accordingly.

[ Used #ifdef instead of #if defined() as it's shorter, and what both
  Ben and Vitaliy used.. Andy, you're out-voted ;)    - Linus ]

Len Brown 5d4c47e019 x86 idle: deprecate mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it.

But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle().

Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param
to simplify the x86 idle code.

After this change, kernels configured with
(!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that support MWAIT will simply use HLT.  If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be used.

Christoph Lameter 349c004e3d x86: A fast way to check capabilities of the current cpu
Add this_cpu_has() which determines if the current cpu has a certain
ability using a segment prefix and a bit test operation.

For that we need to add bit operations to x86s percpu.h.

Many uses of cpu_has use a pointer passed to a function to determine
the current flags. That is no longer necessary after this patch.

However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where
cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr. The rest is work for later.

Namhyung Kim e8e999cf3c x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is available
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.

Commit 9c0729dc80 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.

This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

End result looks like below:

ea53069231 made a CPU use monitor/mwait
when offline. This is not the optimal choice for AMD wrt to powersavings
and we'd prefer our cores to halt (i.e. enter C1) instead. For this, the
same selection whether to use monitor/mwait has to be used as when we
select the idle routine for the machine.

With this patch, offlining cores 1-5 on a X6 machine allows core0 to
boost again.

Thomas Renninger f77cfe4ea2 cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer
Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle"
events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex.

It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use
the cpuidle subsystem, namely:
  - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c
  - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait)
  - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess)
  - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before)

Convention should be:
Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere
down the the callee tree) to keep things easy.

Current possible pm_idle functions in X86:
c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle
-> this is really easy is now.

This affects userspace:
The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get
mapped to:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...}
instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values.
This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver.
For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor
misses out C-states in his BIOS.
Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle
events from:
/sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped
to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss
out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3.
-> everything is fine.

Thomas Renninger d18960494f ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variables
Having four variables for the same thing:
  idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides
is rather confusing and unnecessary complex.

if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable:
boot_option_idle_overrides

Introduces following functional changes/fixes:
  - intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy
    boot param is passed.
  - processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver
    and get active if idle=halt is passed.
    Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered
    Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses
    the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but
    without registering a whole cpuidle driver.

That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register
with one exception (same behavior as before):
idle=nomwait
may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use
mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep
states where C1 mwait causes problems.

Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old
tracepoints for compatibility):

  power:cpu_idle

and
  power:power_frequency

is replaced with:
  power:cpu_frequency

power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.

Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer
(kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it.

the type= field got removed from both, it was never
used and the type is differed by the event type itself.

perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.

Soeren Sandmann Pedersen 9c0729dc80 x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines
The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:

(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task

In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0.  If it _is_ defined, then

- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs,

- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
  dump_trace(),

- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs.

Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.

This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

David Howells d7627467b7 Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Thomas Renninger 6f4f2723d0 [CPUFREQ] x86 cpufreq: Make trace_power_frequency cpufreq driver independent
and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.

trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric way
in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
-> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
   cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
   notifier is triggered.
   This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq drivers

trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when
the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores' frequency depend
on each other.
-> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
   which gets switched automatically fixes this.

Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my initial
quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
- Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
- Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
- Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id
