Add a native implementation for the sched_clock() function which utilizes the
processor-internal cycle counter (Control Register 16) as high-resolution time
source.
With this patch we now get much more fine-grained resolutions in various
in-kernel time measurements (e.g. when viewing the function tracing logs), and
probably a more accurate scheduling on SMP systems.
There are a few specific implementation details in this patch:
1. On a 32bit kernel we emulate the higher 32bits of the required 64-bit
resolution of sched_clock() by increasing a per-cpu counter at every
wrap-around of the 32bit cycle counter.
2. In a SMP system, the cycle counters of the various CPUs are not syncronized
(similiar to the TSC in a x86_64 system). To cope with this we define
HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK and let the upper layers do the adjustment work.
3. Since we need HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, we need to provide a cmpxchg64()
function even on a 32-bit kernel.
4. A 64-bit SMP kernel which is started on a UP system will mark the
sched_clock() implementation as "stable", which means that we don't expect any
jumps in the returned counter. This is true because we then run only on one
CPU.

By adding TRACEHOOK support we now get a clean user interface to access
registers via PTRACE_GETREGS, PTRACE_SETREGS, PTRACE_GETFPREGS and
PTRACE_SETFPREGS.
The user-visible regset struct user_regs_struct and user_fp_struct are
modelled similiar to x86 and can be accessed via PTRACE_GETREGSET.

Allow accessing 64-bit values in userspace from a 32-bit kernel.
The access is not atomic.

This patch simplifies the code for get_user() and put_user() a lot.
Instead of accessing kernel memory (%sr0) and userspace memory (%sr3)
hard-coded in the assembler instruction, we now preload %sr2 with either
%sr0 (for accessing KERNEL_DS) or with sr3 (to access USER_DS) and
use %sr2 in the load directly.
The generated code avoids a branch and speeds up execution by generating
less assembler instructions.

This patch extends save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() to use
PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET with the XSTATE note type, adding
support for new processor state extensions between context switches.
When the new ptrace requests are unavailable, it falls back to the old
PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS methods, which have been renamed to
save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers().
Now these functions expect *fp_regs to have the space of an _xstate struct.
Thus, this also makes ptrace in UML responde to PTRACE_GETFPREGS/_SETFPREG
requests with a user_i387_struct (thus independent from HOST_FP_SIZE), and
by calling save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers() instead of
the extended save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() functions.

Extends fpstate to _xstate, in order to hold AVX/YMM registers.
To avoid oversized stack frame, the following functions have been
refactored by using malloc.
- sig_handler_common
- timer_real_alarm_handler

This patch makes UML saves/restores FPU state from/to the fpstate in
pt_regs when setting up or returning from a signal stack, rather than
calling ptrace directly. This ensures that FPU state is correctly
preserved around signal handlers in a multi-threaded scenario.

Commit b3c1be1b789c ("base: isa: Remove X86_32 dependency") made ISA
support available on x86-64 too. That's not right - while there are
some LPC-style devices that might be useful still and be based on
ISA-like IP blocks, that is *not* an excuse to try to enable any random
legacy drivers.
Such drivers should be individually enabled and made to perhaps depend
on ISA_DMA_API instead (which we have continued to support on x86-64).
Or we could add another "ISA_XYZ_API" that we support that doesn't
enable random old drivers that aren't even 64-bit clean nor do we have
any test coverage for.
Turning off ISA will now also turn off some drivers that have been
marked as depending on it as part of this series, and that used to work
on modern platforms.
See for example commits ad7afc38eab3..cc736607c86d, which may also need
to be reverted.
This commit means that the warnings that came in due to enabling ISA
widely are now gone again.

During hugepage map/unmap, TSB and TLB flushes are currently
issued at every PAGE_SIZE'd boundary which is unnecessary.
We now issue the flush at REAL_HPAGE_SIZE boundaries only.
Without this patch workloads which unmap a large hugepage
backed VMA region get CPU lockups due to excessive TLB
flush calls.

The binary GCD algorithm is based on the following facts:
1. If a and b are all evens, then gcd(a,b) = 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)
2. If a is even and b is odd, then gcd(a,b) = gcd(a/2, b)
3. If a and b are all odds, then gcd(a,b) = gcd((a-b)/2, b) = gcd((a+b)/2, b)
Even on x86 machines with reasonable division hardware, the binary
algorithm runs about 25% faster (80% the execution time) than the
division-based Euclidian algorithm.
On platforms like Alpha and ARMv6 where division is a function call to
emulation code, it's even more significant.
There are two variants of the code here, depending on whether a fast
__ffs (find least significant set bit) instruction is available. This
allows the unpredictable branches in the bit-at-a-time shifting loop to
be eliminated.
If fast __ffs is not available, the "even/odd" GCD variant is used.

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.
The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").
The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).
Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers. These are not easy to avoid.
This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.
The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.
__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.
We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.
The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.
The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI
handling there first. Let's do it separately.
The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

Exchange between user and kernel memory is coded in assembly language.
Which means that such accesses won't be spotted by KASAN as a compiler
instruments only C code.
Add explicit KASAN checks to user memory access API to ensure that
userspace writes to (or reads from) a valid kernel memory.
Note: Unlike others strncpy_from_user() is written mostly in C and KASAN
sees memory accesses in it. However, it makes sense to add explicit
check for all @count bytes that *potentially* could be written to the
kernel.

Based on recent thread on linux-arch (some weeks ago) I
decided to check how much work was required to build sparc32
with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS enabled.
The resulting binary (checked srmmu.o) was to my suprise smaller with
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS defined, than without.
As I have no working gear to test sparc32 bits at for the moment,
I did not enable STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS - but was tempeted to do so.

Fix this so we pass the trap_level from the actual trap
code like we do in sparc64.
Add use on ENTRY(), ENDPROC() in the assembler function too.
This fixes a bug where the hardcoded value for trap_level
was the sparc64 value.
As the generic code does not use the trap_level argument
(for sparc32) - this patch does not have any functional impact.

Matt Fleming reported seeing crashes when enabling and disabling
function profiling which uses function graph tracer. Later Namhyung Kim
hit a similar issue and he found that the issue was due to the jmp to
ftrace_stub in ftrace_graph_call was only two bytes, and when it was
changed to jump to the tracing code, it overwrote the ftrace_stub that
was after it.
Masami Hiramatsu bisected this down to a binutils change:

Add -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler
This patch adds -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler. By default,
assembler will optimize out non-PLT relocations against defined non-weak
global branch targets with default visibility. The -mshared option tells
the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library
where all non-weak global branch targets with default visibility can
be preempted. The resulting code is slightly bigger. This option
only affects the handling of branch instructions.
Declaring ftrace_stub as a weak call prevents gas from using two byte
jumps to it, which would be converted to a jump to the function graph
code.

When modifying the active state of an interrupt via the MMIO interface,
we should ensure that the write has the intended effect.
If a guest sets an interrupt to active, but that interrupt is already
flushed into a list register on a running VCPU, then that VCPU will
write the active state back into the struct vgic_irq upon returning from
the guest and syncing its state. This is a non-benign race, because the
guest can observe that an interrupt is not active, and it can have a
reasonable expectations that other VCPUs will not ack any IRQs, and then
set the state to active, and expect it to stay that way. Currently we
are not honoring this case.
Thefore, change both the SACTIVE and CACTIVE mmio handlers to stop the
world, change the irq state, potentially queue the irq if we're setting
it to active, and then continue.
We take this chance to slightly optimize these functions by not stopping
the world when touching private interrupts where there is inherently no
possible race.

When the kernel was handling a guest MMIO read access internally, we
need to copy the emulation result into the run->mmio structure in order
for the kvm_handle_mmio_return() function to pick it up and inject the
result back into the guest.
Currently the only user of kvm_io_bus for ARM is the VGIC, which did
this copying itself, so this was not causing issues so far.
But with the upcoming new vgic implementation we need this done
properly.
Update the kvm_handle_mmio_return description and cleanup the code to
only perform a single copying when needed.

We are about to modify the VGIC to allocate all data structures
dynamically and store mapped IRQ information on a per-IRQ struct, which
is indeed allocated dynamically at init time.
Therefore, we cannot record the mapped IRQ info from the timer at timer
reset time like it's done now, because VCPU reset happens before timer
init.
A possible later time to do this is on the first run of a per VCPU, it
just requires us to move the enable state to be a per-VCPU state and do
the lookup of the physical IRQ number when we are about to run the VCPU.

This erratum essentially causes the CPU to forget which privilege
level it is operating on (kernel vs. user) for the purposes of MPX.
This erratum can only be triggered when a system is not using
Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP). Our workaround for
the erratum is to ensure that MPX can only be used in cases where
SMEP is present in the processor and is enabled.
This erratum only affects Core processors. Atom is unaffected.
But, there is no architectural way to determine Atom vs. Core.
So, we just apply this workaround to all processors. It's
possible that it will mistakenly disable MPX on some Atom
processsors or future unaffected Core processors. There are
currently no processors that have MPX and not SMEP. It would
take something akin to a hypervisor masking SMEP out on an Atom
processor for this to present itself on current hardware.
More details can be found at:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/desktop-6th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf
"
SKD046 Branch Instructions May Initialize MPX Bound Registers Incorrectly
Problem:
Depending on the current Intel MPX (Memory Protection
Extensions) configuration, execution of certain branch
instructions (near CALL, near RET, near JMP, and Jcc
instructions) without a BND prefix (F2H) initialize the MPX bound
registers. Due to this erratum, such a branch instruction that is
executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3 may not use the
correct MPX configuration register (BNDCFGU or BNDCFGS,
respectively) for determining whether to initialize the bound
registers; it may thus initialize the bound registers when it
should not, or fail to initialize them when it should.
Implication:
A branch instruction that has executed both in user mode and in
supervisor mode (from the same linear address) may cause a #BR
(bound range fault) when it should not have or may not cause a
#BR when it should have. Workaround An operating system can
avoid this erratum by setting CR4.SMEP[bit 20] to enable
supervisor-mode execution prevention (SMEP). When SMEP is
enabled, no code can be executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3.

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).
Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

Lots of code does
node = next_node(node, XXX);
if (node == MAX_NUMNODES)
node = first_node(XXX);
so create next_node_in() to do this and use it in various places.
[[email protected]: use next_node_in() helper]
