8c60ea1464 x86, intel, cacheinfo: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the intel cacheinfo code in x86 by using this latter form of callback
registration.

7b7139d4ab x86, therm_throt.c: Remove unused therm_cpu_lock
After fixing the CPU hotplug callback registration code, the callbacks
invoked for each online CPU, during the initialization phase in
thermal_throttle_init_device(), can no longer race with the actual CPU
hotplug notifier callbacks (in thermal_throttle_cpu_callback). Hence the
therm_cpu_lock is unnecessary now. Remove it.

09df7c4c80 x86: Remove CONFIG_X86_OOSTORE
This was an optimization that made memcpy type benchmarks a little
faster on ancient (Circa 1998) IDT Winchip CPUs.  In real-life
workloads, it wasn't even noticable, and I doubt anyone is running
benchmarks on 16 year old silicon any more.

Given this code has likely seen very little use over the last decade,
let's just remove it.

b7b4839d93 perf/x86: Fix leak in uncore_type_init failure paths
The error path of uncore_type_init() frees up any allocations
that were made along the way, but it relies upon type->pmus
being set, which only happens if the function succeeds. As
type->pmus remains null in this case, the call to
uncore_type_exit will do nothing.

Moving the assignment earlier will allow us to actually free
those allocations should something go awry.

ef11dadb83 perf/x86/uncore: Add __init for uncore_cpumask_init()
Commit:

  411cf180fa perf/x86/uncore: fix initialization of cpumask

introduced the function uncore_cpumask_init(), which is only
called in __init intel_uncore_init(). But it is not marked
with __init, which produces the following warning:

	WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2464a): Section mismatch in reference from the function uncore_cpumask_init() to the function .init.text:uncore_cpu_setup()
	The function uncore_cpumask_init() references
	the function __init uncore_cpu_setup().
	This is often because uncore_cpumask_init lacks a __init
	annotation or the annotation of uncore_cpu_setup is wrong.

This patch marks uncore_cpumask_init() with __init.

198d208df4 x86: Keep thread_info on thread stack in x86_32
x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.

x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.

Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.

1aec169673 x86: Hyperv: Cleanup the irq mess
The vmbus/hyperv interrupt handling is another complete trainwreck and
probably the worst of all currently in tree.

If CONFIG_HYPERV=y then the interrupt delivery to the vmbus happens
via the direct HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR. So far so good, but:

  The driver requests first a normal device interrupt. The only reason
  to do so is to increment the interrupt stats of that device
  interrupt. For no reason it also installs a private flow handler.

  We have proper accounting mechanisms for direct vectors, but of
  course it's too much effort to add that 5 lines of code.

  Aside of that the alloc_intr_gate() is not protected against
  reallocation which makes module reload impossible.

Solution to the problem is simple to rip out the whole mess and
implement it correctly.

First of all move all that code to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c and
merily install the HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR with proper reallocation
protection and use the proper direct vector accounting mechanism.

26e61e8939 perf/x86: Fix event scheduling
Vince "Super Tester" Weaver reported a new round of syscall fuzzing (Trinity) failures,
with perf WARN_ON()s triggering. He also provided traces of the failures.

This is I think the relevant bit:

So we add the insn:p event (fd[23]).

We try and add the {BP,cycles,br_insn} group (fd[3], fd[4], fd[15]).
These events are 0:cycles and 4:br_insn, the BP event isn't x86_pmu so
that's not visible.

	group_sched_in()
	  pmu->start_txn() /* nop - BP pmu */
	  event_sched_in()
	     event->pmu->add()

So here we should end up with:

  0: n_events = 3, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2
  4: n_events = 4, n_added = 3, n_txn = 3

But seeing the below state on x86_pmu_enable(), the must have failed,
because the 0 and 4 events aren't there anymore.

Looking at group_sched_in(), since the BP is the leader, its
event_sched_in() must have succeeded, for otherwise we would not have
seen the sibling adds.

But since neither 0 or 4 are in the below state; their event_sched_in()
must have failed; but I don't see why, the complete state: 0,0,1:p,4
fits perfectly fine on a core2.

However, since we try and schedule 4 it means the 0 event must have
succeeded!  Therefore the 4 event must have failed, its failure will
have put group_sched_in() into the fail path, which will call:

	event_sched_out()
	  event->pmu->del()

on 0 and the BP event.

Now x86_pmu_del() will reduce n_events; but it will not reduce n_added;
giving what we see below:

 n_event = 2, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2

So the problem is that x86_pmu_del(), when called from a
group_sched_in() that fails (for whatever reason), and without x86_pmu
TXN support (because the leader is !x86_pmu), will corrupt the n_added
state.

This patch updates the CBOX PMU filters mapping tables for SNB-EP
and IVT (model 45 and 62 respectively).

The NID umask always comes in addition to another umask.
When set, the NID filter is applied.

The current mapping tables were missing some code/umask
combinations to account for the NID umask. This patch
fixes that.

This was found by KVM which implements v2+ but didn't provide the

ced2efb099 perf/x86/uncore: add hrtimer to SNB uncore IMC PMU
This patch is needed because that PMU uses 32-bit free
running counters with no interrupt capabilities.

On SNB/IVB/HSW, we used 20GB/s theoretical peak to calculate
the hrtimer timeout necessary to avoid missing an overflow.
That delay is set to 5s to be on the cautious side.

The SNB IMC uses free running counters, which are handled
via pseudo fixed counters. The SNB IMC PMU implementation
supports an arbitrary number of events, because the counters
are read-only. Therefore it is not possible to track active
counters. Instead we put active events on a linked list which
is then used by the hrtimer handler to update the SW counts.

The IMC on those processor is PCI-space based. This patch
exposes a new uncore PMU on those processor: uncore_imc

Two new events are defined:
  - name: data_reads
  - code: 0x1
  - unit: 64 bytes
  - number of full cacheline read requests to the IMC

  - name: data_writes
  - code: 0x2
  - unit: 64 bytes
  - number of full cacheline write requests to the IMC

411cf180fa perf/x86/uncore: fix initialization of cpumask
On certain processors, the uncore PMU boxes may only be
msr-bsed or PCI-based. But in both cases, the cpumask,
suggesting on which CPUs to monitor to get full coverage
of the particular PMU, must be created.

However with the current code base, the cpumask was only
created on processor which had at least one MSR-based
uncore PMU. This patch removes that restriction and
ensures the cpumask is created even when there is no
msr-based PMU. For instance, on SNB client where only
a PCI-based memory controller PMU is supported.

90ed5b0fa5 perf/x86/p4: Block PMIs on init to prevent a stream of unkown NMIs
A bunch of unknown NMIs have popped up on a Pentium4 recently when booting
into a kdump kernel.  This was exposed because the watchdog timer went
from 60 seconds down to 10 seconds (increasing the ability to reproduce
this problem).

What is happening is on boot up of the second kernel (the kdump one),
the previous nmi_watchdogs were enabled on thread 0 and thread 1.  The
second kernel only initializes one cpu but the perf counter on thread 1
still counts.

Normally in a kdump scenario, the other cpus are blocking in an NMI loop,
but more importantly their local apics have the performance counters disabled
(iow LVTPC is masked).  So any counters that fire are masked and never get
through to the second kernel.

However, on a P4 the local apic is shared by both threads and thread1's PMI
(despite being configured to only interrupt thread1) will generate an NMI on
thread0.  Because thread0 knows nothing about this NMI, it is seen as an
unknown NMI.

This would be fine because it is a kdump kernel, strange things happen
what is the big deal about a single unknown NMI.

Unfortunately, the P4 comes with another quirk: clearing the overflow bit
to prevent a stream of NMIs.  This is the problem.

The kdump kernel can not execute because of the endless NMIs that happen.

To solve this, I instrumented the p4 perf init code, to walk all the counters
and zero them out (just like a normal reset would).

Now when the counters go off, they do not generate anything and no unknown
NMIs are seen.

I tested this on a P4 we have in our lab.  After two or three crashes, I could
normally reproduce the problem.  Now after 10 crashes, everything continues
to boot correctly.

13beacee81 perf/x86/p4: Fix counter corruption when using lots of perf groups
On a P4 box stressing perf with:

   ./perf record -o perf.data ./perf stat -v ./perf bench all

it was noticed that a slew of unknown NMIs would pop out rather quickly.

Painfully debugging this ancient platform, led me to notice cross cpu counter
corruption.

The P4 machine is special in that it has 18 counters, half are used for cpu0
and the other half is for cpu1 (or all 18 if hyperthreading is disabled).  But
the splitting of the counters has to be actively managed by the software.

In this particular bug, one of the cpu0 specific counters was being used by
cpu1 and caused all sorts of random unknown nmis.

I am not entirely sure on the corruption path, but what happens is:

 o perf schedules a group with p4_pmu_schedule_events()
 o inside p4_pmu_schedule_events(), it notices an hwc pointer is being reused
   but for a different cpu, so it 'swaps' the config bits and returns the
   updated 'assign' array with a _new_ index.
 o perf schedules another group with p4_pmu_schedule_events()
 o inside p4_pmu_schedule_events(), it notices an hwc pointer is being reused
   (the same one as above) but for the _same_ cpu [BUG!!], so it updates the
   'assign' array to use the _old_ (wrong cpu) index because the _new_ index is in
   an earlier part of the 'assign' array (and hasn't been committed yet).
 o perf commits the transaction using the wrong index and corrupts the other cpu

The [BUG!!] is because the 'hwc->config' is updated but not the 'hwc->idx'.  So
the check for 'p4_should_swap_ts()' is correct the first time around but
incorrect the second time around (because hwc->config was updated in between).

I think the spirit of perf was to not modify anything until all the
transactions had a chance to 'test' if they would succeed, and if so, commit
atomically.  However, P4 breaks this spirit by touching the hwc->config
element.

So my fix is to continue the un-perf like breakage, by assigning hwc->idx to -1
on swap to tell follow up group scheduling to find a new index.

Of course if the transaction fails rolling this back will be difficult, but
that is not different than how the current code works. :-)  And I wasn't sure
how much effort to cleanup the code I should do for a platform that is almost
10 years old by now.

Hence the lazy fix.

75a1ba5b2c x86, microcode, AMD: Unify valid container checks
For additional coverage, BorisO and friends unknowlingly did swap AMD
microcode with Intel microcode blobs in order to see what happens. What
did happen on 32-bit was

[    5.722656] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at be3a6008
[    5.722693] IP: [<c106d6b4>] load_microcode_amd+0x24/0x3f0
[    5.722716] *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000

because there was a valid initrd there but without valid microcode in it
and the container check happened *after* the relocated ramdisk handling
on 32-bit, which was clearly wrong.

While at it, take care of the ramdisk relocation on both 32- and 64-bit
as it is done on both. Also, comment what we're doing because this code
is a bit tricky.

b9a3b4c976 mm, x86: Revisit tlb_flushall_shift tuning for page flushes except on IvyBridge
There was a large ebizzy performance regression that was
bisected to commit 611ae8e3 (x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range
support for x86).  The problem was related to the
tlb_flushall_shift tuning for IvyBridge which was altered.  The
problem is that it is not clear if the tuning values for each
CPU family is correct as the methodology used to tune the values
is unclear.

This patch uses a conservative tlb_flushall_shift value for all
CPU families except IvyBridge so the decision can be revisited
if any regression is found as a result of this change.
IvyBridge is an exception as testing with one methodology
determined that the value of 2 is acceptable.  Details are in
the changelog for the patch "x86: mm: Change tlb_flushall_shift
for IvyBridge".

One important aspect of this to watch out for is Xen.  The
original commit log mentioned large performance gains on Xen.
It's possible Xen is more sensitive to this value if it flushes
small ranges of pages more frequently than workloads on bare
metal typically do.
