b18d62891a Merge branch 'x86-apic-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides a major overhaul of the APIC initialization and
  vector allocation code:

   - Unification of the APIC and interrupt mode setup which was
     scattered all over the place and was hard to follow. This also
     distangles the timer setup from the APIC initialization which
     brings a clear separation of functionality.

     Great detective work from Dou Lyiang!

   - Refactoring of the x86 vector allocation mechanism. The existing
     code was based on nested loops and rather convoluted APIC callbacks
     which had a horrible worst case behaviour and tried to serve all
     different use cases in one go. This led to quite odd hacks when
     supporting the new managed interupt facility for multiqueue devices
     and made it more or less impossible to deal with the vector space
     exhaustion which was a major roadblock for server hibernation.

     Aside of that the code dealing with cpu hotplug and the system
     vectors was disconnected from the actual vector management and
     allocation code, which made it hard to follow and maintain.

     Utilizing the new bitmap matrix allocator core mechanism, the new
     allocator and management code consolidates the handling of system
     vectors, legacy vectors, cpu hotplug mechanisms and the actual
     allocation which needs to be aware of system and legacy vectors and
     hotplug constraints into a single consistent entity.

     This has one visible change: The support for multi CPU targets of
     interrupts, which is only available on a certain subset of
     CPUs/APIC variants has been removed in favour of single interrupt
     targets. A proper analysis of the multi CPU target feature revealed
     that there is no real advantage as the vast majority of interrupts
     end up on the CPU with the lowest APIC id in the set of target CPUs
     anyway. That change was agreed on by the relevant folks and allowed
     to simplify the implementation significantly and to replace rather
     fragile constructs like the vector cleanup IPI with straight
     forward and solid code.

     Furthermore this allowed to cleanly separate the allocation details
     for legacy, normal and managed interrupts:

      * Legacy interrupts are not longer wasting 16 vectors
        unconditionally

      * Managed interrupts have now a guaranteed vector reservation, but
        the actual vector assignment happens when the interrupt is
        requested. It's guaranteed not to fail.

      * Normal interrupts no longer allocate vectors unconditionally
        when the interrupt is set up (IO/APIC init or MSI(X) enable).
        The mechanism has been switched to a best effort reservation
        mode. The actual allocation happens when the interrupt is
        requested. Contrary to managed interrupts the request can fail
        due to vector space exhaustion, but drivers must handle a fail
        of request_irq() anyway. When the interrupt is freed, the vector
        is handed back as well.

        This solves a long standing problem with large unconditional
        vector allocations for a certain class of enterprise devices
        which prevented server hibernation due to vector space
        exhaustion when the unused allocated vectors had to be migrated
        to CPU0 while unplugging all non boot CPUs.

     The code has been equipped with trace points and detailed debugfs
     information to aid analysis of the vector space"

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

0696d059f2 x86/vector: Use correct per cpu variable in free_moved_vector()
free_moved_vector() accesses the per cpu vector array with this_cpu_write()
to clear the vector. The function has two call sites:

 1) The vector cleanup IPI
 2) The force_complete_move() code path

For #1 this_cpu_write() is correct as it runs on the CPU on which the
vector needs to be freed.

For #2 this_cpu_write() is wrong because the function is called from an
outgoing CPU which is not necessarily the CPU on which the previous vector
needs to be freed. As a result it sets the vector on the outgoing CPU to
NULL, which is pointless as that CPU does not handle interrupts
anymore. What's worse is that it leaves the vector on the previous target
CPU in place which later on triggers the BUG_ON(vector) in the vector
allocation code when the vector gets reused. That's possible because the
bitmap allocator entry of that CPU is freed correctly.

Always use the CPU to which the vector was associated and clear the vector
entry on that CPU. Fixup the tracepoint as well so it tracks on which CPU
the vector gets removed.

e4a81bfcaa x86/fpu: Rename fpu::fpstate_active to fpu::initialized
The x86 FPU code used to have a complex state machine where both the FPU
registers and the FPU state context could be 'active' (or inactive)
independently of each other - which enabled features like lazy FPU restore.

Much of this complexity is gone in the current code: now we basically can
have FPU-less tasks (kernel threads) that don't use (and save/restore) FPU
state at all, plus full FPU users that save/restore directly with no laziness
whatsoever.

But the fpu::fpstate_active still carries bits of the old complexity - meanwhile
this flag has become a simple flag that shows whether the FPU context saving
area in the thread struct is initialized and used, or not.

Rename it to fpu::initialized to express this simplicity in the name as well.

o STM can hook into the function tracer
  o Function filtering now supports more advance glob matching
  o Ftrace selftests updates and added tests
  o Softirq tag in traces now show only softirqs
  o ARM nop added to non traced locations at compile time
  o New trace_marker_raw file that allows for binary input

  o Removal of kmap in trace_marker
  o Wakeup and irqsoff tracers now adhere to the set_graph_notrace file
  o Other various fixes and clean ups
 
 Note, there are two patches marked for stable. These were discovered
 near the end of the 4.9 rc release cycle. By the time I had them tested
 it was just a matter of days before 4.9 would be released, and I
 figured I would just submit them in the merge window. They are old
 bugs and not critical. Nothing non-root could abuse.

8cf868affd tracing: Have the reg function allow to fail
Some tracepoints have a registration function that gets enabled when the
tracepoint is enabled. There may be cases that the registraction function
must fail (for example, can't allocate enough memory). In this case, the
tracepoint should also fail to register, otherwise the user would not know
why the tracepoint is not working.

d1898b7336 x86/fpu: Add tracepoints to dump FPU state at key points
I've been carrying this patch around for a bit and it's helped me
solve at least a couple FPU-related bugs.  In addition to using
it for debugging, I also drug it out because using AVX (and
AVX2/AVX-512) can have serious power consequences for a modern
core.  It's very important to be able to figure out who is using
it.

It's also insanely useful to go out and see who is using a given
feature, like MPX or Memory Protection Keys.  If you, for
instance, want to find all processes using protection keys, you
can do:

	echo 'xfeatures & 0x200' > filter

Since 0x200 is the protection keys feature bit.

Note that this touches the KVM code.  KVM did a CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
and then included a bunch of random headers.  If anyone one of
those included other tracepoints, it would have defined the *OTHER*
tracepoints.  That's bogus, so move it to the right place.

1126cb4535 x86/fpu/mpx: Rework MPX 'xstate' types
MPX includes two separate "extended state components".  There is
no real need to have an 'mpx_struct' because we never really
manage the states together.

We also separate out the actual data in 'mpx_bndcsr_state' from
the padding.  We will shortly be checking the state sizes
against our structures and need them to match.  For consistency,
we also ensure to prefix these types with 'mpx_'.

Lastly, we add some comments to mirror some of the descriptions
in the Intel documents (SDM) of the various state components.

d70b3ef54c Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

2a1dcb1f79 x86/mpx: Trace the attempts to find bounds tables
There are two different events being traced here.  They are
doing similar things so share a trace "EVENT_CLASS" and are
presented together.

1. Trace when MPX is zapping pages "mpx_unmap_zap":

	When MPX can not free an entire bounds table, it will
	instead try to zap unused parts of a bounds table to free
	the backing memory.  This decreases RSS (resident set
	size) without decreasing the virtual space allocated
	for bounds tables.

2. Trace attempts to find bounds tables "mpx_unmap_search":

	This event traces any time we go looking to unmap a
	bounds table for a given virtual address range.  This is
	useful to ensure that the kernel actually "tried" to free
	a bounds table versus times it succeeded in finding one.

	It might try and fail if it realized that a table was
	shared with an adjacent VMA which is not being unmapped.

97efebf1bc x86/mpx: Trace entry to bounds exception paths
There are two basic things that can happen as the result of
a bounds exception (#BR):

	1. We allocate a new bounds table
	2. We pass up a bounds exception to userspace.

This patch adds a trace point for the case where we are
passing the exception up to userspace with a signal.

We are also explicit that we're printing out the inverse of
the 'upper' that we encounter.  If you want to filter, for
instance, you need to ~ the value first.  The reason we do
this is because of how 'upper' is stored in the bounds table.

If a pointer's range is:

	0x1000 -> 0x2000

it is stored in the bounds table as (32-bits here for brevity):

	lower: 0x00001000
	upper: 0xffffdfff

That is so that an all 0's entry:

	lower: 0x00000000
	upper: 0x00000000

corresponds to the "init" bounds which store a *range* of:

	0x00000000 -> 0xffffffff

That is, by far, the common case, and that lets us use the
zero page, or deduplicate the memory, etc... The 'upper'
stored in the table is gibberish to print by itself, so we
print ~upper to get the *actual*, logical, human-readable
value printed out.

I've found these extremely useful in the process of

This exception hooks in to the bounds (#BR) exception
very early and allows capturing the key registers which
would influence how the exception is handled.

Note that bndcfgu/bndstatus are technically still
64-bit registers even in 32-bit mode.

24fd78a81f x86/mce/amd: Introduce deferred error interrupt handler
Deferred errors indicate error conditions that were not corrected, but
require no action from S/W (or action is optional).These errors provide
info about a latent UC MCE that can occur when a poisoned data is
consumed by the processor.

Processors that report these errors can be configured to generate APIC
interrupts to notify OS about the error.

Provide an interrupt handler in this patch so that OS can catch these
errors as and when they happen. Currently, we simply log the errors and
exit the handler as S/W action is not mandated.

d5b5f391d4 ftrace, perf: Avoid infinite event generation loop
Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem.

When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or
PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an
infinite event generation loop:

  ,-> <IPI>
  |     irq_work_exit() ->
  |       trace_irq_work_exit() ->
  |         ...
  |           __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync)
  |             irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty)
  '---------      arch_irq_work_raise()

Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed
the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit.

To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint.

In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer
for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a
tracepoint perf event.

    issues, we can check if it comes from the page fault events.

cf910e83ae x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints
[Purpose of this patch]

As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html

<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled.  They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.

There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers.  Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.

The trace also tells where the system is spending its time.  We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system.  Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>

On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.

I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.

[Patch Description]

Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.

So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
   - local_timer_vector
   - reschedule_vector
   - call_function_vector
   - call_function_single_vector
   - irq_work_entry_vector
   - error_apic_vector
   - thermal_apic_vector
   - threshold_apic_vector
   - spurious_apic_vector
   - x86_platform_ipi_vector

Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
 - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
 - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
   _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
 - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
   macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
 - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
   This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
   - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
   - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
     is disabled.

In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
used for other purposes.
