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.

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.

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.

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.

Replace all uses of current_cpu_data with this_cpu operations on the
per cpu structure cpu_info. The scala accesses are replaced with the
matching this_cpu ops which results in smaller and more efficient
code.
In the long run, it might be a good idea to remove cpu_data() macro
too and use per_cpu macro directly.

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().

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.

trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when

which gets switched automatically fixes this.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in

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*()

applies to a given CPU.
Especially for CPUs where SMI/HW triggered C1e is not supported,
c1e_idle() doesn't need to be used. We can check this by looking at

Using kernel_stack_pointer() allows 32-bit and 64-bit versions to
be merged. This is more correct for 64-bit, since the old %rsp is
always saved on the stack.

Before the kernel_thread was converted into "C" we had
pt_regs::ss set to __KERNEL_DS (by SAVE_ALL asm macro).
Though I must admit I didn't find any *explicit* load of
%ss from this structure the better to be on a safe side
and set it to a known value.

The above printout is missing register dump completely. The
problem here is that the output comes from syslog which doesn't
show KERN_INFO log-level messages. We didn't see this before
because both of us were testing on 32-bit kernels which use the
_default_ log-level.
Fix that up by explicitly using KERN_DEFAULT log-level for
__show_regs() printks.

This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.
Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..
The new layering is now made as follows:
ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall
\ | / /
\ | / /
/
Core breakpoint API /
/
| /
| /
Breakpoints perf events
|
|
Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
(Part of core breakpoint API)
|
|
Hardware debug registers
Reasons of this rewrite:
- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)
Impact:
- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
thread breakpoints references.
Todo (in the order):
- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools
Changes in v2:
- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch
Changes in v3:
- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
to the host.
Changes in v4:
- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
set when the guest used debug registers.
(Waiting for a reliable optimization)
Changes in v5:
- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c
Changes in v6:
- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

flush_thread() tries to do a TIF_DEBUG check before calling in to
flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() (which subsequently clears the thread flag),
but for some reason, the x86 code is manually clearing TIF_DEBUG
immediately before the test, so this path will never be taken.
This kills off the erroneous clear_tsk_thread_flag() and lets
flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() actually get invoked.
Presumably folks were getting lucky with testing and the
free_thread_info() -> free_thread_xstate() path was taking care of the
flush there.

Merge reason: We need to be uptodate with the perf events development
branch because we plan to rewrite the breakpoints API on top of
perf events.
Add a general per-cpu notifier that is called whenever the kernel is
about to return to userspace. The notifier uses a thread_info flag
and existing checks, so there is no impact on user return or context
switch fast paths.
This will be used initially to speed up KVM task switching by lazily
updating MSRs.

The "end of a C state" trace point currently happens before
the code runs that corrects the TSC for having stopped during idle.
The result of this is that the timestamp of the end-of-C-state event
is garbage on cpus where the TSC stops during idle.
This patch moves the end point of the C state to after the timekeeping
engine of the kernel has been corrected.
