x86/signal: Fix restart_syscall number for x32 tasks
When restarting a syscall with regs->ax == -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, regs->ax is assigned to a restart_syscall number. For x32 tasks, this syscall number must have __X32_SYSCALL_BIT set, otherwise it will be an x86_64 syscall number instead of a valid x32 syscall number.

x86/microcode: Initialize the driver late when facilities are up
Running microcode_init() from setup_arch() is a bad idea because not even kmalloc() is ready at that point and the loader does all kinds of allocations and init/registration with various subsystems. Make it a late initcall when required facilities are initialized so that the microcode driver initialization can succeed too.

perf/core: Robustify the perf_cgroup_from_task() RCU checks
This patch reinforces the lockdep checks performed by perf_cgroup_from_tsk() by passing the perf_event_context whenever possible. It is okay to not hold the RCU read lock when we know we hold the ctx->lock. This patch makes sure this property holds. In some functions, such as perf_cgroup_sched_in(), we do not pass the context because we are sure we are holding the RCU read lock.

x86/cpu: Fix SMAP check in PVOPS environments
There appears to be no formal statement of what pv_irq_ops.save_fl() is supposed to return precisely. Native returns the full flags, while lguest and Xen only return the Interrupt Flag, and both have comments by the implementations stating that only the Interrupt Flag is looked at. This may have been true when initially implemented, but no longer is. To make matters worse, the Xen PVOP leaves the upper bits undefined, making the BUG_ON() undefined behaviour. Experimentally, this now trips for 32bit PV guests on Broadwell hardware. The BUG_ON() is consistent for an individual build, but not consistent for all builds. It has also been a sitting timebomb since SMAP support was introduced. Use native_save_fl() instead, which will obtain an accurate view of the AC flag.

x86/fpu: Fix get_xsave_addr() behavior under virtualization
KVM uses the get_xsave_addr() function in a different fashion from the native kernel, in that the 'xsave' parameter belongs to guest vcpu, not the currently running task. But 'xsave' is replaced with current task's (host) xsave structure, so get_xsave_addr() will incorrectly return the bad xsave address to KVM. Fix it so that the passed in 'xsave' address is used - as intended originally.

x86/fpu: Fix 32-bit signal frame handling
(This should have gone to LKML originally. Sorry for the extra
noise, folks on the cc.)
Background:
Signal frames on x86 have two formats:
1. For 32-bit executables (whether on a real 32-bit kernel or
under 32-bit emulation on a 64-bit kernel) we have a
'fpregset_t' that includes the "FSAVE" registers.
2. For 64-bit executables (on 64-bit kernels obviously), the
'fpregset_t' is smaller and does not contain the "FSAVE"
state.
When creating the signal frame, we have to be aware of whether
we are running a 32 or 64-bit executable so we create the
correct format signal frame.
Problem:
save_xstate_epilog() uses 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' whenever it is
called for a 32-bit executable. This is for real 32-bit and
ia32 emulation.
But, fpu__init_prepare_fx_sw_frame() only initializes
'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' when emulation is enabled, *NOT* for real
32-bit kernels.
This leads to really wierd situations where 32-bit programs
lose their extended state when returning from a signal handler.
The kernel copies the uninitialized (zero) 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32'
out to userspace in save_xstate_epilog(). But when returning
from the signal, the kernel errors out in check_for_xstate()
when it does not see FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 present (because it was
zeroed). This leads to the FPU/XSAVE state being initialized.
For MPX, this leads to the most permissive state and means we
silently lose bounds violations. I think this would also mean
that we could lose *ANY* FPU/SSE/AVX state. I'm not sure why
no one has spotted this bug.
I believe this was broken by:

x86/cpu: Call verify_cpu() after having entered long mode too
When we get loaded by a 64-bit bootloader, kernel entry point is startup_64 in head_64.S. We don't trust any and all bootloaders because some will fiddle with CPU configuration so we go ahead and massage each CPU into sanity again. For example, some dell BIOSes have this XD disable feature which set IA32_MISC_ENABLE[34] and disable NX. This might be some dumb workaround for other OSes but Linux sure doesn't need it. A similar thing is present in the Surface 3 firmware - see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106051 - which sets this bit only on the BSP: # rdmsr -a 0x1a0 400850089 850089 850089 850089 I know, right?! There's not even an off switch in there. So fix all those cases by sanitizing the 64-bit entry point too. For that, make verify_cpu() callable in 64-bit mode also. Requested-and-debugged-by: "H.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes. Some of them have
stable tags to them. I searched through my INBOX just as the merge window
opened and found lots of patches to pull. I ran them through all my tests
and they were in linux-next for a few days.
Features added this release:
----------------------------
o Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer
options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory
even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific
options are global)
o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee
pids.

Power management and ACPI updates for v4.4-rc1
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).
The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related
to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface)
and a few fixes and cleanups.
- ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2)
support along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).
This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.
- New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
clock sources (Marc Zyngier).
- Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
_DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
(Rafael Wysocki).
- Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
property based on it (Mika Westerberg).
- ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated
by the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than
255 logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).
- Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges
on x86 and ia64 (Jiang Liu).
- ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when
it has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).
- New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).
- ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).
- New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).
This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume
handling in some cases and the changes include a couple of users
of it (the i8042 input driver, PCI PM).
- PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).
- New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up
the system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).
- Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that
code (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).
- cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
share performance scaling settings (represented by a common
cpufreq policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).
This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
other things.
- cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).
- intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states
range to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).
- cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).
- OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization
to make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).
- Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
power capping driver (Amy Wiles).
- Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
Villemoes).

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Quite a new features are included this time.
First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface
(version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with
a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling.
Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ
chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
mechanism for DT).
Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
_DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the
ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
generic device properties API.
It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it
possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.
Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.
In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
substantially.
First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
two architectures in that area).
Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.
Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.
Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
from the generic power domains framework.
On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
fixes in multiple places, as usual.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).
The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related

platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).
This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling
in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the
i8042 input driver, PCI PM).
- PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).
- New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the
system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).
- Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code
(Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).
- cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq
policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).
This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
other things.
- cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).
- intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range
to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).
- cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).
- OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to
make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).
- Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
power capping driver (Amy Wiles).
- Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
Villemoes)"

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock on x86. (Adrian Hunter)
- Intel DS and BTS updates. (Alexander Shishkin)
- Intel cstate PMU support. (Kan Liang)
- Add group read support to perf_event_read(). (Peter Zijlstra)
- Branch call hardware sampling support, implemented on x86 and
PowerPC. (Stephane Eranian)
- Event groups transactional interface enhancements. (Sukadev
Bhattiprolu)
- Enable proper x86/intel/uncore PMU support on multi-segment PCI
systems. (Taku Izumi)
- ... misc fixes and cleanups.
The perf tooling team was very busy again with 200+ commits, the full
diff doesn't fit into lkml size limits. Here's an (incomplete) list
of the tooling highlights:
New features:
- Change the default event used in all tools (record/top): use the
most precise "cycles" hw counter available, i.e. when the user
doesn't specify any event, it will try using cycles:ppp, cycles:pp,
etc and fall back transparently until it finds a working counter.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Integration of perf with eBPF that, given an eBPF .c source file
(or .o file built for the 'bpf' target with clang), will get it
automatically built, validated and loaded into the kernel via the
sys_bpf syscall, which can then be used and seen using 'perf trace'
and other tools.
(Wang Nan)
Various user interface improvements:
- Automatic pager invocation on long help output. (Namhyung Kim)
- Search for more options when passing args to -h, e.g.: (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
$ perf report -h interface
Usage: perf report [<options>]
--gtk Use the GTK2 interface
--stdio Use the stdio interface
--tui Use the TUI interface
- Show ordered command line options when -h is used or when an
unknown option is specified. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- If options are passed after -h, show just its descriptions, not all
options. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Implement column based horizontal scrolling in the hists browser
(top, report), making it possible to use the TUI for things like
'perf mem report' where there are many more columns than can fit in
a terminal. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Enhance the error reporting of tracepoint event parsing, e.g.:
$ oldperf record -e sched:sched_switc usleep 1
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Now we get the much nicer:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ can't access trace events
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
And after we have those mount point permissions fixed:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
I.e. basically now the event parsing routing uses the strerror_open()
routines introduced by and used in 'perf trace' work. (Jiri Olsa)
- Fail properly when pattern matching fails to find a tracepoint,
i.e. '-e non:existent' was being correctly handled, with a proper
error message about that not being a valid event, but '-e
non:existent*' wasn't, fix it. (Jiri Olsa)
- Do event name substring search as last resort in 'perf list'.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
E.g.:
# perf list clock
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
cpu-clock [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]
uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_cbox_1/clockticks/ [Kernel PMU event]
kvm:kvm_pvclock_update [Tracepoint event]
kvm:kvm_update_master_clock [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_disable [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_enable [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_set_rate [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_adjtime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_getres [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_gettime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_nanosleep [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_settime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_adjtime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_getres [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_gettime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_nanosleep [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_settime [Tracepoint event]
Intel PT hardware tracing enhancements:
- Accept a zero --itrace period, meaning "as often as possible". In
the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit
of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i). (Adrian Hunter)
- Harmonize itrace's synthesized callchains with the existing
--max-stack tool option. (Adrian Hunter)
- Allow time to be displayed in nanoseconds in 'perf script'.
(Adrian Hunter)
- Fix potential infinite loop when handling Intel PT timestamps.
(Adrian Hunter)
- Slighly improve Intel PT debug logging. (Adrian Hunter)
- Warn when AUX data has been lost, just like when processing
PERF_RECORD_LOST. (Adrian Hunter)
- Further document export-to-postgresql.py script. (Adrian Hunter)
- Add option to synthesize branch stack from auxtrace data. (Adrian
Hunter)
Misc notable changes:
- Switch the default callchain output mode to 'graph,0.5,caller', to
make it look like the default for other tools, reducing the
learning curve for people used to 'caller' based viewing. (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- various call chain usability enhancements. (Namhyung Kim)
- Introduce the 'P' event modifier, meaning 'max precision level,
please', i.e.:
$ perf record -e cycles:P usleep 1
Is now similar to:
$ perf record usleep 1
Useful, for instance, when specifying multiple events. (Jiri Olsa)
- Add 'socket' sort entry, to sort by the processor socket in 'perf
top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)
- Introduce --socket-filter to 'perf report', for filtering by
processor socket. (Kan Liang)
- Add new "Zoom into Processor Socket" operation in the perf hists
browser, used in 'perf top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)
- Allow probing on kmodules without DWARF. (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Fix 'perf probe -l' for probes added to kernel module functions.
(Masami Hiramatsu)
- Preparatory work for the 'perf stat record' feature that will allow
generating perf.data files with counting data in addition to the
sampling mode we have now (Jiri Olsa)
- Update libtraceevent KVM plugin. (Paolo Bonzini)
- ... plus lots of other enhancements that I failed to list properly,

x86/cpu: Add CLZERO detection
AMD Fam17h processors introduce support for the CLZERO instruction. It zeroes out the 64 byte cache line specified in RAX. Add the bit here to allow /proc/cpuinfo to list the feature. Boris: we're adding this as a separate ->x86_capability leaf because CPUID_80000008_EBX is going to contain more feature bits and it will fill out with time.

x86/mce: Add a Scalable MCA vendor flags bit
Scalable MCA (SMCA) is a new feature in AMD Fam17h processors which indicates presence of MCA extensions. MCA extensions expands existing register space for the MCE banks and also introduces a new MSR range to accommodate new banks. Add the detection bit.
