In check_hw_exists() we try to detect non-emulated MSR accesses
by writing an arbitrary value into one of the PMU registers
and check if it's value after a readout is still the same.
This algorithm silently assumes that the register does not contain
the magic value already, which is wrong in at least one situation.
Fix the algorithm to really do a read-modify-write cycle. This fixes
a warning under Xen under some circumstances on AMD family 10h CPUs.
The reasons in more details actually sound like a story from
Believe It or Not!:
First you need an AMD family 10h/12h CPU. These do not reset the
PERF_CTR registers on a reboot.
Now you boot bare metal Linux, which goes successfully through this
check, but leaves the magic value of 0xabcd in the register. You
don't use the performance counters, but do a reboot (warm reset).
Then you choose to boot Xen. The check will be triggered with a
recent Linux kernel as Dom0 again, trying to write 0xabcd into the
MSR. Xen silently drops the write (expected), but the subsequent read
will return the value in the register, which just happens to be the
expected magic value. Thus the test misleadingly succeeds, leaving
the kernel in the belief that the PMU is available. This will trigger
the following message:

From Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>:
Below is a RAS fix which reverts the addition of a sysfs attribute
which we agreed is not needed, post-factum. And this should go in now
because that sysfs attribute is going to end up in 3.7 otherwise and
thus exposed to userspace; removing it then would be a lot harder.
This is done as a merge rather than a simple patch/cherry-pick since
the baseline for this patch was not in the previous x86/urgent.

450cc20103 ("x86/mce: Provide boot argument to honour bios-set CMCI
threshold") added the bios_cmci_threshold sysfs attribute which was
supposed to communicate to userspace tools that BIOS CMCI threshold has
been honoured.
However, this info is not of any importance to userspace - it should
rather get the actual error count it has been thresholded already from
MCi_STATUS[38:52].
So drop this before it becomes a used interface (good thing we caught
this early in 3.7-rc1, right after the merge window closed).

When booting on a federated multi-server system (NumaScale), the
processor Northbridge lookup returns NULL; add guards to prevent this
causing an oops.
On those systems, the northbridge is accessed through MMIO and the
"normal" northbridge enumeration in amd_nb.c doesn't work since we're
generating the northbridge ID from the initial APIC ID and the last
is not unique on those systems. Long story short, we end up without
northbridge descriptors.

The following patch adds perf_event support for the Xeon-Phi
PMU, as documented in the "Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (codename:
Knights Corner) Performance Monitoring Units" manual.
Even though it is a co-processor, a Phi runs a full Linux
environment and can support performance counters.
This is just barebones support, it does not add support for
interesting new features such as the SPFLT intruction that
allows starting/stopping events without entering the kernel.
The PMU internally is just like that of an original Pentium, but
a "P6-like" MSR interface is provided. The interface is
different enough from a real P6 that it's not easy (or
practical) to re-use the code in perf_event_p6.c

Add the following directories to build after the ordinary include directories
so that #include will pick up the UAPI header directly if the kernel header
has been moved there.
The userspace set (represented by the USERINCLUDE make variable) contains:
-I $(srctree)/arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi
-I arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/generated/uapi
-I $(srctree)/include/uapi
-I include/generated/uapi
-include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h

contains:
-I $(srctree)/arch/$(hdr-arch)/include

Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
over 30 contributors. Most of the activity was on the tooling side.
Higher level changes:
- New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool
- uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.
- Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
Irina Tirdea
- Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
entry.
The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
solution.
- Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.
- Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt
- Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
of needless calls to libtraceevent.
- Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa
- UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim
- Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
Feng Tang
- Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
Feng Tang.
Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:
- Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.
- Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more

There is no fundamental reason why we should switch SMEP and SMAP on
during early cpu initialization just to switch them off again. Now
with %eflags and %cr4 forced to be initialized to a clean state, we
only need the one-way enable. Also, make the functions inline to make
them (somewhat) harder to abuse.
This does mean that SMEP and SMAP do not get initialized anywhere near
as early. Even using early_param() instead of __setup() doesn't give
us control early enough to do this during the early cpu initialization
phase. This seems reasonable to me, because SMEP and SMAP should not
matter until we have userspace to protect ourselves from, but it does
potentially make it possible for a bug involving a "leak of
permissions to userspace" to get uncaught.

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to
userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the
performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new
instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.
This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP
feature is enabled. It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the
SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one

Fundamental model of the current Linux kernel is to lazily init and
restore FPU instead of restoring the task state during context switch.
This changes that fundamental lazy model to the non-lazy model for
the processors supporting xsave feature.
Reasons driving this model change are:
i. Newer processors support optimized state save/restore using xsaveopt and
xrstor by tracking the INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch.
This is faster than modifying the cr0.TS bit which has serializing semantics.
ii. Newer glibc versions use SSE for some of the optimized copy/clear routines.
With certain workloads (like boot, kernel-compilation etc), application
completes its work with in the first 5 task switches, thus taking upto 5 #DNA
traps with the kernel not getting a chance to apply the above mentioned
pre-load heuristic.
iii. Some xstate features (like AMD's LWP feature) don't honor the cr0.TS bit
and thus will not work correctly in the presence of lazy restore. Non-lazy
state restore is needed for enabling such features.
Some data on a two socket SNB system:
* Saved 20K DNA exceptions during boot on a two socket SNB system.
* Saved 50K DNA exceptions during kernel-compilation workload.
* Improved throughput of the AVX based checksumming function inside the
kernel by ~15% as xsave/xrstor is faster than the serializing clts/stts
pair.
Also now kernel_fpu_begin/end() relies on the patched
alternative instructions. So move check_fpu() which uses the
kernel_fpu_begin/end() after alternative_instructions().

On 64 bit x86 we save the current eflags in cpu_init for use in
ret_from_fork. Strictly speaking reserved bits in EFLAGS should
be read as written but in practise it is unlikely that EFLAGS
could ever be extended in this way and the kernel alread clears
any undefined flags early on.
The equivalent 32 bit code simply hard codes 0x0202 as the new
EFLAGS.
This change makes 64 bit use the same mechanism to setup the
initial EFLAGS on fork. Note that 64 bit resets EFLAGS before
calling schedule_tail() as opposed to 32 bit which calls
schedule_tail() first. Therefore the correct value for EFLAGS
has opposite IF bit.

On Intel systems corrected machine check interrupts (CMCI) may be sent to
multiple logical processors; possibly to all processors on the affected
socket (SDM Volume 3B "15.5.1 CMCI Local APIC Interface"). This means
that a persistent error (such as a stuck bit in ECC memory) may cause
a storm of interrupts that greatly hinders or prevents forward progress
(probably on many processors).
To solve this we keep track of the rate at which each processor sees
CMCI. If we exceed a threshold, we disable CMCI delivery and switch to
polling the machine check banks. If the storm subsides (none of the
affected processors see any more errors for a complete poll interval) we
re-enable CMCI.
[Tony: Added console messages when storm begins/ends and increased storm
threshold from 5 to 15 so we have a few more logged entries before we
disable interrupts and start dropping reports]

cmci_discover() works out which machine check banks support CMCI, and
which of those are shared by multiple logical processors. It uses this
information to ensure that exactly one cpu is designated the owner of
each bank so that when interrupts are broadcast to multiple cpus, only one
of them will look in a shared bank to log the error and clear the bank.
At boot time cmci_discover() performs this task silently. But during
certain cpu hotplug operations it prints out a set of summary lines
like this:
CPU 35 MCA banks CMCI:0 CMCI:1 CMCI:3 CMCI:5 CMCI:6 CMCI:7 CMCI:8 CMCI:9 CMCI:10 CMCI:11
CPU 1 MCA banks CMCI:0 CMCI:1 CMCI:3
CPU 39 MCA banks CMCI:0 CMCI:1 CMCI:3
CPU 38 MCA banks CMCI:0 CMCI:1 CMCI:3
CPU 32 MCA banks CMCI:0 CMCI:1 CMCI:3
CPU 37 MCA banks CMCI:0 CMCI:1 CMCI:3
CPU 36 MCA banks CMCI:0 CMCI:1 CMCI:3
CPU 34 MCA banks CMCI:0 CMCI:1 CMCI:3
The value of these messages seems very low. A user might painstakingly
cross-check against the data sheet for a processor to ensure that all
CMCI supported banks are correctly reported, but this seems improbable.
If users really wanted to do this, we should print the information at
boot time too.
Remove the messages.
