c882e0feb9 x86, perf: Add power_end event to process_*.c cpu_idle routine
Systems using the idle thread from process_32.c and process_64.c
do not generate power_end events which could be traced using
perf. This patch adds the event generation for such systems.

8660328332 x86: Introduce 'struct fpu' and related API
Currently all fpu state access is through tsk->thread.xstate.  Since we wish
to generalize fpu access to non-task contexts, wrap the state in a new
'struct fpu' and convert existing access to use an fpu API.

Signal frame handlers are not converted to the API since they will remain
task context only things.

7ce5a2b9bb x86-64: Clear a 64-bit FS/GS base on fork if selector is nonzero
When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the
corresponding selector is nonzero.  This is taken by __switch_to() as
an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry.
However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can
result in inconsistent results after fork().

Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to().

faa4602e47 x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code
Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
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*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality

And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
for a 32-bit compat process.

Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

Andrew Morton reported a strange looking kmemcheck warning:

  WARNING: kmemcheck: Caught 32-bit read from uninitialized memory (ffff88004fba6c20)

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.

24f1e32c60 hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events
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

89240ba059 x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit
This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.

The new implementation now returns the right value.

a6f05a6a0a x86-64: make compat_start_thread() match start_thread()
For no real good reason, compat_start_thread() was embedded inline in
<asm/elf.h> whereas the native start_thread() lives in process_*.c.
Move compat_start_thread() to process_64.c, remove gratuitious
differences, and fix a few items which mostly look like bit rot.

In particular, compat_start_thread() didn't do free_thread_xstate(),
which means it was hanging on to the xstate store area even when it
was not needed.  It was also not setting old_rsp, but it looks like
that generally shouldn't matter for a 32-bit process.

Note: compat_start_thread *has* to be a macro, since it is tested with
start_thread_ia32() as the out of line function name.

bdf977b374 x86, percpu: Collect hot percpu variables into one cacheline
On x86_64, percpu variables current_task and kernel_stack are used for
get_current() and current_thread_info() respectively and thus are
often used close to each other.  Move definition of current_task to
kernel/cpu/common.c right above kernel_stack definition and align it
to cacheline so that they always fall into the same cacheline.  Two
percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count
- are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline.

For consistency, current_task definition for x86_32 is also moved to
kernel/cpu/common.c.

Putting current_task and kernel_stack into the same cacheline was
suggested by Linus Torvalds.

17950c5b24 x86-64: move clts into batch cpu state updates when preloading fpu
When a task is likely to be using the fpu, we preload its state during
the context switch, rather than waiting for it to run an fpu instruction.
Make sure the clts() happens while we're doing batched fpu state updates
to optimise paravirtualized context switches.

16d9dbf0c2 x86-64: move unlazy_fpu() into lazy cpu state part of context switch
Make sure that unlazy_fpu()'s stts gets batched along with the other
cpu state changes during context switch.  (32-bit already does this.)

This makes sure it gets batched when running paravirtualized.

2311f0de21 x86, ds: add leakage warning
Add a warning in case a debug store context is not removed before
the task it is attached to is freed.

Remove the old warning at thread exit. It is too early.

Declare the debug store context field in thread_struct unconditionally.

Remove ds_copy_thread() and ds_exit_thread() and do the work directly
in process*.c.

tss io permissions bitmap, large chunks of process*.c are
trivially unifyable, including:

 - exit_thread
 - flush_thread
 - __switch_to_xtra (along with tsc enable/disable)

and as bonus pickups:

 - sys_fork
 - sys_vfork

5c79d2a517 x86: fix x86_32 stack protector bugs
Impact: fix x86_32 stack protector

Brian Gerst found out that %gs was being initialized to stack_canary
instead of stack_canary - 20, which basically gave the same canary
value for all threads.  Fixing this also exposed the following bugs.

* cpu_idle() didn't call boot_init_stack_canary()

* stack canary switching in switch_to() was being done too late making
  the initial run of a new thread use the old stack canary value.

Fix all of them and while at it update comment in cpu_idle() about
calling boot_init_stack_canary().
