When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link
to the previous frame pointer:
- If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack
as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame
pointer and to link the new one to the previous.
- Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with
the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp
pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and
push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to
dereference instead of one.
In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level
and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then
be considered as unreliable.
Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

While dumping a stacktrace, the end of the exception stack won't link
the frame pointer to the previous stack.
The interrupted stack will then be considered as unreliable and ignored
by perf, as the frame pointer is unreliable itself.
This happens because we overwrite the frame pointer that links to the
interrupted frame with the address of the exception stack. This is
done in order to reserve space inside.
But rbp has been chosen here only because it is not a scratch register,
so that the address of the exception stack remains in rbp after calling
do_debug(), we can then release the exception stack space without the
need to retrieve its address again.
But we can pick another non-scratch register to do that, so that we
preserve the link to the interrupted stack frame in the stacktraces.
Just randomly choose r12. Every registers are saved just before and
restored just after calling do_debug(). And r12 is not used in the
middle, which makes it a perfect candidate.
Example: perf record -g -a -c 1 -f -e mem:$(tasklist_lock_addr):rw

struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint
triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty
tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf
as it triggers even when we don't overflow.
We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events
rules, being called only when we overflow.

When we disable a breakpoint through dr7, we unregister it right
away, making us lose track of its corresponding address
register value.
It means that the following sequence would be unsupported:
- set address in dr0
- enable it through dr7
- disable it through dr7
- enable it through dr7
because we lost the address register value when we disabled the
breakpoint.
Don't unregister the disabled breakpoints but rather disable
them.

In-kernel user breakpoints are created using functions in which

Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across
archictectures that may support this api later as these may have
more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure
instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into

Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups
because the event->pmu was not set until after

On platforms where the BIOS handles the thermal monitor interrupt,
APIC_LVTTHMR on each logical CPU is programmed to generate a SMI
and OS must not touch it.
Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clears all
the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in
all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set
to masked (clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR).
And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring
interrupt on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed
value only on BSP).
As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal
monitoring interrupt is generated.
Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on
BSP and if bios has taken over the control, then program the
same value on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring
interrupt control on all the logical cpu's to the bios.

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

kernel missed to free memtype if get_vm_area_caller failed in
__ioremap_caller.
This patch introduces error path to fix this and cleans up the
repetitive error return sequences that contributed to the
creation of the bug.

We plan to make the breakpoints parameters generic among architectures.
For that it's better to move the asm-generic header to a generic linux
header.

KVM: get_tss_base_addr() should return a gpa_t
KVM: x86: Catch potential overrun in MCE setup
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules. For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is
probably not what the caller intended.
This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend). This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.
