This patch adds a kernel parameter noxsaves to disable xsaves/xrstors feature.
The kernel will fall back to use xsaveopt and xrstor to save and restor
xstates. By using this parameter, xsave area occupies more memory because
standard form of xsave area in xsaveopt/xrstor occupies more memory than
compacted form of xsave area.
This patch adds a description of the kernel parameter noxsaveopt in doc.
The code to support the parameter noxsaveopt has been in the kernel before.
This patch just adds the description of this parameter in the doc.

Detect the xsaveopt, xsavec, xgetbv, and xsaves features in processor extended
state enumberation sub-leaf (eax=0x0d, ecx=1):
Bit 00: XSAVEOPT is available
Bit 01: Supports XSAVEC and the compacted form of XRSTOR if set
Bit 02: Supports XGETBV with ECX = 1 if set
Bit 03: Supports XSAVES/XRSTORS and IA32_XSS if set
The above features are defined in the new word 10 in cpu features.
The IA32_XSS MSR (index DA0H) contains a state-component bitmap that specifies
the state components that software has enabled xsaves and xrstors to manage.
If the bit corresponding to a state component is clear in XCR0 | IA32_XSS,
xsaves and xrstors will not operate on that state component, regardless of
the value of the instruction mask.

This patch fixes a bug in precise_store_data_hsw() whereby
it would set the data source memory level to the wrong value.
As per the the SDM Vol 3b Table 18-41 (Layout of Data Linear
Address Information in PEBS Record), when status bit 0 is set
this is a L1 hit, otherwise this is a L1 miss.
This patch encodes the memory level according to the specification.
In V2, we added the filtering on the store events.
Only the following events produce L1 information:
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOCK_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_STORES

This code is used during CPU setup, and it isn't strictly speaking
related to the 32-bit vdso. It's easier to understand how this
works when the code is closer to its callers.
This also lets syscall32_cpu_init be static, which might save some
trivial amount of kernel text.

Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro for protecting functions
from kprobes instead of __kprobes annotation under
arch/x86.
This applies nokprobe_inline annotation for some cases,
because NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() will inhibit inlining by

The following commit:
27f6c573e0 ("x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms")
Added two preemption bugs:
- machine_check_poll() does a get_cpu_var() without a matching
put_cpu_var(), which causes preemption imbalance and crashes upon
bootup.
- it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.
To fix these bugs fix the imbalance and change
cmci_discover_lock to a regular spinlock.

The legacy PIC may or may not be available and we need a mechanism to
detect the existence of the legacy PIC that is applicable for all
hardware (both physical as well as virtual) currently supported by
Linux.
On Hyper-V, when our legacy firmware presented to the guests, emulates
the legacy PIC while when our EFI based firmware is presented we do
not emulate the PIC. To support Hyper-V EFI firmware, we had to set
the legacy_pic to the null_legacy_pic since we had to bypass PIC based
calibration in the early boot code. While, on the EFI firmware, we
know we don't emulate the legacy PIC, we need a generic mechanism to
detect the presence of the legacy PIC that is not based on boot time
state - this became apparent when we tried to get kexec to work on
Hyper-V EFI firmware.
This patch implements the proposal put forth by H. Peter Anvin
<hpa@linux.intel.com>: Write a known value to the PIC data port and
read it back. If the value read is the value written, we do have the
PIC, if not there is no PIC and we can safely set the legacy_pic to
null_legacy_pic. Since the read from an unconnected I/O port returns
0xff, we will use ~(1 << PIC_CASCADE_IR) (0xfb: mask all lines except
the cascade line) to probe for the existence of the PIC.
In version V1 of the patch, I had cleaned up the code based on comments from Peter.
In version V2 of the patch, I have addressed additional comments from Peter.
In version V3 of the patch, I have addressed Jan's comments (JBeulich@suse.com).

NOTE! We may have to relax the "forbid the use of 16-bit segments in

16-bit Windows binaries under Wine.
But I'm taking this in the current unconditional form for now to see who

The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat (with
a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple subsystems that use
CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to register them that will not
lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline operations as described in the
changelog of commit 93ae4f978c (CPU hotplug: Provide lockless versions
of callback registration functions).
The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document it
and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers and
converts them to using the new method.

- Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit
wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq()
which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler. Both are
needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci

- New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs.
The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources

When CMCI storm persists for a long time(at least beyond predefined
threshold. It's 30 seconds for now), we can watch CMCI storm is
detected immediately after it subsides.
...
Dec 10 22:04:29 kernel: CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode
Dec 10 22:04:59 kernel: CMCI storm subsided: switching to interrupt mode
Dec 10 22:04:59 kernel: CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode
Dec 10 22:05:29 kernel: CMCI storm subsided: switching to interrupt mode
...
The problem is that our logic that determines that the storm has
ended is incorrect. We announce the end, re-enable interrupts and
realize that the storm is still going on, so we switch back to
polling mode. Rinse, repeat.
When a storm happens we disable signaling of errors via CMCI and begin
polling machine check banks instead. If we find any logged errors,
then we need to set a per-cpu flag so that our per-cpu tests that
check whether the storm is ongoing will see that errors are still
being logged independently of whether mce_notify_irq() says that the
error has been fully processed.
cmci_clear() is not the right tool to disable a bank. It disables the
interrupt for the bank as desired, but it also clears the bit for
this bank in "mce_banks_owned" so we will skip the bank when polling
(so we fail to see that the storm continues because we stop looking).
New cmci_storm_disable_banks() just disables the interrupt while
allowing polling to continue.

This patch bypass the timer_irq_works() check for hyperv guest since:
- It was guaranteed to work.
- timer_irq_works() may fail sometime due to the lpj calibration were inaccurate
in a hyperv guest or a buggy host.
In the future, we should get the tsc frequency from hypervisor and use preset
lpj instead.

Many Pentium M systems disable PAE but may have a functionally usable PAE
implementation. This adds the "forcepae" parameter which bypasses the boot
check for PAE, and sets the CPU as being PAE capable. Using this parameter
will taint the kernel with TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC.

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */

This was an optimization that made memcpy type benchmarks a little
faster on ancient (Circa 1998) IDT Winchip CPUs. In real-life
workloads, it wasn't even noticable, and I doubt anyone is running
benchmarks on 16 year old silicon any more.
Given this code has likely seen very little use over the last decade,

The error path of uncore_type_init() frees up any allocations
that were made along the way, but it relies upon type->pmus
being set, which only happens if the function succeeds. As
type->pmus remains null in this case, the call to
uncore_type_exit will do nothing.
Moving the assignment earlier will allow us to actually free
those allocations should something go awry.

Commit:
411cf180fa perf/x86/uncore: fix initialization of cpumask
introduced the function uncore_cpumask_init(), which is only
called in __init intel_uncore_init(). But it is not marked
with __init, which produces the following warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2464a): Section mismatch in reference from the function uncore_cpumask_init() to the function .init.text:uncore_cpu_setup()
The function uncore_cpumask_init() references
the function __init uncore_cpu_setup().
This is often because uncore_cpumask_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of uncore_cpu_setup is wrong.
This patch marks uncore_cpumask_init() with __init.

x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.
x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.
Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.

The vmbus/hyperv interrupt handling is another complete trainwreck and
probably the worst of all currently in tree.
If CONFIG_HYPERV=y then the interrupt delivery to the vmbus happens
via the direct HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR. So far so good, but:
The driver requests first a normal device interrupt. The only reason
to do so is to increment the interrupt stats of that device
interrupt. For no reason it also installs a private flow handler.
We have proper accounting mechanisms for direct vectors, but of
course it's too much effort to add that 5 lines of code.
Aside of that the alloc_intr_gate() is not protected against
reallocation which makes module reload impossible.
Solution to the problem is simple to rip out the whole mess and
implement it correctly.
First of all move all that code to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c and
merily install the HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR with proper reallocation
protection and use the proper direct vector accounting mechanism.

Vince "Super Tester" Weaver reported a new round of syscall fuzzing (Trinity) failures,
with perf WARN_ON()s triggering. He also provided traces of the failures.
This is I think the relevant bit:

So we add the insn:p event (fd[23]).
At this point we should have:
n_events = 2, n_added = 1, n_txn = 1
> pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926170: collect_events: Adding event: 0 (ffff8800c9e01800)
> pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926172: collect_events: Adding event: 4 (ffff8800cbab2c00)
We try and add the {BP,cycles,br_insn} group (fd[3], fd[4], fd[15]).
These events are 0:cycles and 4:br_insn, the BP event isn't x86_pmu so
that's not visible.
group_sched_in()
pmu->start_txn() /* nop - BP pmu */
event_sched_in()
event->pmu->add()
So here we should end up with:
0: n_events = 3, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2
4: n_events = 4, n_added = 3, n_txn = 3
But seeing the below state on x86_pmu_enable(), the must have failed,
because the 0 and 4 events aren't there anymore.
Looking at group_sched_in(), since the BP is the leader, its
event_sched_in() must have succeeded, for otherwise we would not have
seen the sibling adds.
But since neither 0 or 4 are in the below state; their event_sched_in()
must have failed; but I don't see why, the complete state: 0,0,1:p,4
fits perfectly fine on a core2.
However, since we try and schedule 4 it means the 0 event must have
succeeded! Therefore the 4 event must have failed, its failure will
have put group_sched_in() into the fail path, which will call:
event_sched_out()
event->pmu->del()
on 0 and the BP event.
Now x86_pmu_del() will reduce n_events; but it will not reduce n_added;
giving what we see below:
n_event = 2, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2

So the problem is that x86_pmu_del(), when called from a
group_sched_in() that fails (for whatever reason), and without x86_pmu
TXN support (because the leader is !x86_pmu), will corrupt the n_added
state.

This patch is needed because that PMU uses 32-bit free
running counters with no interrupt capabilities.
On SNB/IVB/HSW, we used 20GB/s theoretical peak to calculate
the hrtimer timeout necessary to avoid missing an overflow.
That delay is set to 5s to be on the cautious side.
The SNB IMC uses free running counters, which are handled
via pseudo fixed counters. The SNB IMC PMU implementation
supports an arbitrary number of events, because the counters
are read-only. Therefore it is not possible to track active
counters. Instead we put active events on a linked list which
is then used by the hrtimer handler to update the SW counts.

This patch makes the hrtimer timeout configurable per PMU
box. Not all counters have necessarily the same width and
rate, thus the default timeout of 60s may need to be adjusted.
This patch adds box->hrtimer_duration. It is set to default
when the box is allocated. It can be overriden when the box
is initialized.

On certain processors, the uncore PMU boxes may only be
msr-bsed or PCI-based. But in both cases, the cpumask,
suggesting on which CPUs to monitor to get full coverage
of the particular PMU, must be created.
However with the current code base, the cpumask was only
created on processor which had at least one MSR-based
uncore PMU. This patch removes that restriction and
ensures the cpumask is created even when there is no
msr-based PMU. For instance, on SNB client where only
a PCI-based memory controller PMU is supported.

The x86 CPU feature modalias handling existed before it was reimplemented
generically. This patch aligns the x86 handling so that it
(a) reuses some more code that is now generic;
(b) uses the generic format for the modalias module metadata entry, i.e., it
now uses 'cpu:type:x86,venVVVVfamFFFFmodMMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' instead of
the 'x86cpu:vendor:VVVV👪FFFF:model:MMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' that was
used before.

A bunch of unknown NMIs have popped up on a Pentium4 recently when booting
into a kdump kernel. This was exposed because the watchdog timer went
from 60 seconds down to 10 seconds (increasing the ability to reproduce
this problem).
What is happening is on boot up of the second kernel (the kdump one),
the previous nmi_watchdogs were enabled on thread 0 and thread 1. The
second kernel only initializes one cpu but the perf counter on thread 1
still counts.
Normally in a kdump scenario, the other cpus are blocking in an NMI loop,
but more importantly their local apics have the performance counters disabled
(iow LVTPC is masked). So any counters that fire are masked and never get
through to the second kernel.
However, on a P4 the local apic is shared by both threads and thread1's PMI
(despite being configured to only interrupt thread1) will generate an NMI on
thread0. Because thread0 knows nothing about this NMI, it is seen as an
unknown NMI.
This would be fine because it is a kdump kernel, strange things happen
what is the big deal about a single unknown NMI.
Unfortunately, the P4 comes with another quirk: clearing the overflow bit
to prevent a stream of NMIs. This is the problem.
The kdump kernel can not execute because of the endless NMIs that happen.
To solve this, I instrumented the p4 perf init code, to walk all the counters
and zero them out (just like a normal reset would).
Now when the counters go off, they do not generate anything and no unknown
NMIs are seen.
I tested this on a P4 we have in our lab. After two or three crashes, I could
normally reproduce the problem. Now after 10 crashes, everything continues
to boot correctly.

On a P4 box stressing perf with:
./perf record -o perf.data ./perf stat -v ./perf bench all
it was noticed that a slew of unknown NMIs would pop out rather quickly.
Painfully debugging this ancient platform, led me to notice cross cpu counter
corruption.
The P4 machine is special in that it has 18 counters, half are used for cpu0
and the other half is for cpu1 (or all 18 if hyperthreading is disabled). But
the splitting of the counters has to be actively managed by the software.
In this particular bug, one of the cpu0 specific counters was being used by
cpu1 and caused all sorts of random unknown nmis.
I am not entirely sure on the corruption path, but what happens is:
o perf schedules a group with p4_pmu_schedule_events()
o inside p4_pmu_schedule_events(), it notices an hwc pointer is being reused
but for a different cpu, so it 'swaps' the config bits and returns the
updated 'assign' array with a _new_ index.
o perf schedules another group with p4_pmu_schedule_events()
o inside p4_pmu_schedule_events(), it notices an hwc pointer is being reused
(the same one as above) but for the _same_ cpu [BUG!!], so it updates the
'assign' array to use the _old_ (wrong cpu) index because the _new_ index is in
an earlier part of the 'assign' array (and hasn't been committed yet).
o perf commits the transaction using the wrong index and corrupts the other cpu
The [BUG!!] is because the 'hwc->config' is updated but not the 'hwc->idx'. So
the check for 'p4_should_swap_ts()' is correct the first time around but
incorrect the second time around (because hwc->config was updated in between).
I think the spirit of perf was to not modify anything until all the
transactions had a chance to 'test' if they would succeed, and if so, commit
atomically. However, P4 breaks this spirit by touching the hwc->config
element.
So my fix is to continue the un-perf like breakage, by assigning hwc->idx to -1
on swap to tell follow up group scheduling to find a new index.
Of course if the transaction fails rolling this back will be difficult, but
that is not different than how the current code works. :-) And I wasn't sure
how much effort to cleanup the code I should do for a platform that is almost
10 years old by now.
Hence the lazy fix.

There was a large ebizzy performance regression that was
bisected to commit 611ae8e3 (x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range
support for x86). The problem was related to the
tlb_flushall_shift tuning for IvyBridge which was altered. The
problem is that it is not clear if the tuning values for each
CPU family is correct as the methodology used to tune the values
is unclear.
This patch uses a conservative tlb_flushall_shift value for all
CPU families except IvyBridge so the decision can be revisited
if any regression is found as a result of this change.
IvyBridge is an exception as testing with one methodology
determined that the value of 2 is acceptable. Details are in
the changelog for the patch "x86: mm: Change tlb_flushall_shift
for IvyBridge".
One important aspect of this to watch out for is Xen. The
original commit log mentioned large performance gains on Xen.
It's possible Xen is more sensitive to this value if it flushes
small ranges of pages more frequently than workloads on bare
metal typically do.

Ebizzy hits the worst case scenario for TLB range flushing every
time and it shows for these Ivybridge CPUs at least that the
default choice is a poor on. The patch addresses the problem.
Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 . It
measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed. The
expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that
the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing
There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count. The
number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max
of 512. To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full
range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected
within that section.
iteration 1, random number between 0-64
iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc
This is still a very weak methodology. When you do not know
what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it
can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges
and an even spread is not representative of any workload that
matters. To improve this, we'd need to know the probability
distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads
that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed
that into this benchmark. Even that is not perfect because it
would not account for the time between flushes but there are
limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing
something useful. If a representative synthetic trace is
provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

For both CPUs, average access time is reduced which is good as
this is the benchmark that was used to tune the shift values in
the first place albeit it is now known *how* the benchmark was
used.
The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive. They
showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those
benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering
with the test results recently.
Network benchmarks were inconclusive. Almost all results were
flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine.
These results were unstable and showed large variations between
reboots. It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've
noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary.
Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems
like a logical choice.

Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.
There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
removal as needed / unneeded, etc. This is primarily being done for
the cgroups filesystem, but the goal is to also move debugfs to it when
it is ready, solving all of the known issues in that filesystem as well.
The code isn't completed yet, but all should be stable now (there is a
big section that was reverted due to problems found when testing.)
There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be using
soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier.)
All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues.

On AMD family 10h we see following error messages while waking up from
S3 for all non-boot CPUs leading to a failed IBS initialization:
Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 1, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
perf: IBS APIC setup failed on cpu #1
process: Switch to broadcast mode on CPU1
CPU1 is up
...
ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3
Reason for this is that during suspend the LVT offset for the IBS
vector gets lost and needs to be reinialized while resuming.
The offset is read from the IBSCTL msr. On family 10h the offset needs
to be 1 as offset 0 is used for the MCE threshold interrupt, but
firmware assings it for IBS to 0 too. The kernel needs to reprogram
the vector. The msr is a readonly node msr, but a new value can be
written via pci config space access. The reinitialization is
implemented for family 10h in setup_ibs_ctl() which is forced during
IBS setup.
This patch fixes IBS setup after waking up from S3 by adding
resume/supend hooks for the boot cpu which does the offset
reinitialization.
Marking it as stable to let distros pick up this fix.

So mce_start_timer() has a 'cpu' argument which is supposed to mean to
start a timer on that cpu. However, the code currently starts a timer on
the *current* cpu the function runs on and causes the sanity-check in
mce_timer_fn to fire:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:1286 mce_timer_fn
because it is running on the wrong cpu.
This was triggered by Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> by offlining
all the cpus in succession.
Then, we were fiddling with the CMCI storm settings when starting the
timer whereas there's no need for that - if there's storm happening
on this newly restarted cpu, we're going to be in normal CMCI mode
initially and then when the CMCI interrupt starts firing, we're going to
go to the polling mode with the timer real soon.

This patch adds support for the Intel RAPL energy counter
PP1 (Power Plane 1).
On client processors, it usually corresponds to the
energy consumption of the builtin graphic card. That
is why the sysfs event is called energy-gpu.
New event:
- name: power/energy-gpu/
- code: event=0x4
- unit: 2^-32 Joules
On processors without graphics, this should count 0.
The patch only enables this event on client processors.

Linux 3.10 changed the timing of how thread_info->flags is touched:
x86: Use generic idle loop
(7d1a941731)
This caused Intel NHM-EX and WSM-EX servers to experience a large number
of immediate MONITOR/MWAIT break wakeups, which caused cpuidle to demote
from deep C-states to shallow C-states, which caused these platforms
to experience a significant increase in idle power.
Note that this issue was already present before the commit above,
however, it wasn't seen often enough to be noticed in power measurements.
Here we extend an errata workaround from the Core2 EX "Dunnington"
to extend to NHM-EX and WSM-EX, to prevent these immediate
returns from MWAIT, reducing idle power on these platforms.
While only acpi_idle ran on Dunnington, intel_idle
may also run on these two newer systems.
As of today, there are no other models that are known
to need this tweak.

The EVENT_CONSTRAINT_END() macro defines the end marker as
a constraint with a weight of zero. This was all fine
until we blacklisted the corrupting memory events on
Intel IvyBridge. These events are blacklisted by using
a counter bitmask of zero. Thus, they also get a constraint
weight of zero.
The iteration macro: for_each_constraint tests the weight==0.
Therefore, it was stopping at the first blacklisted event, i.e.,
0xd0. The corrupting events were therefore considered as
unconstrained and were scheduled on any of the generic counters.
This patch fixes the end marker to have a weight of -1. With
this, the blacklisted events get an empty constraint and cannot
be scheduled which is what we want for now.

The RAPL PMU counters do not interrupt on overflow.
Therefore, the kernel needs to poll the counters
to avoid missing an overflow. This patch adds
the hrtimer code to do this.
The timer interval is calculated at boot time
based on the power unit used by the HW.
There is one hrtimer per-cpu to handle the case
of multiple simultaneous use across cores on
the same package + hotplug CPU.
Thanks to Maria Dimakopoulou for her contributions
to this patch especially on the math aspects.

This patch adds a new uncore PMU to expose the Intel
RAPL energy consumption counters. Up to 3 counters,
each counting a particular RAPL event are exposed.
The RAPL counters are available on Intel SandyBridge,
IvyBridge, Haswell. The server skus add a 3rd counter.
The following events are available and exposed in sysfs:
- power/energy-cores: power consumption of all cores on socket
- power/energy-pkg: power consumption of all cores + LLc cache
- power/energy-dram: power consumption of DRAM (servers only)
For each event both the unit (Joules) and scale (2^-32 J)
is exposed in sysfs for use by perf stat and other tools.
The files are:
/sys/devices/power/events/energy-*.unit
/sys/devices/power/events/energy-*.scale
The RAPL PMU is uncore by nature and is implemented such
that it only works in system-wide mode. Measuring only
one CPU per socket is sufficient. The /sys/devices/power/cpumask
file can be used by tools to figure out which CPUs to monitor
by default. For instance, on a 2-socket system, 2 CPUs
(one on each socket) will be shown.
All the counters measure in the same unit (exposed via sysfs).
The perf_events API exposes all RAPL counters as 64-bit integers
counting in unit of 1/2^32 Joules (about 0.23 nJ). User level tools
must convert the counts by multiplying them by 2^-32 to obtain
Joules. The reason for this is that the kernel avoids
doing floating point math whenever possible because it is
expensive (user floating-point state must be saved). The method
used avoids kernel floating-point usage. There is no loss of
precision. Thanks to PeterZ for suggesting this approach.
To convert the raw count in Watt:
W = C * 2.3 / (1e10 * time)
or ldexp(C, -32).
RAPL PMU is a new standalone PMU which registers with the
perf_event core subsystem. The PMU type (attr->type) is
dynamically allocated and is available from /sys/device/power/type.
Sampling is not supported by the RAPL PMU. There is no
privilege level filtering either.

The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of
__copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other

Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes
copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not
copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes
not copied.
Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied

Currently show_cpuinfo_core() displays cpu core information only if
the number of threads per a whole cores is 2 or larger.
However, this condition doesn't care about the number of
sockets. For example, this condition doesn't hold on systems
with two logical cpus consisting of two sockets and a single
core on each socket - yet the topology information would be
interesting to see in that case as well.
I don't know whether or not there are processors in real world
by which such configurations are possible, but at least on
vitual machine environments, such configuration can occur,
typically when no explicit SMP information is provided in
advance.
For example, on qemu/KVM, SMP information is specified via -smp
command-line option, more specifically, its syntax is:
-smp n[,cores=cores][,threads=threads][,sockets=sockets][,maxcpus=maxcpus]
If this is not specified, qemu tells configuration with
n-sockets, 1-core and 1-thread to the guest machine, on which
guest, MP information is not displayed in /proc/cpuinfo.
I saw this situation on VMWare guest environment, too.
To fix this issue, this patch simply removes the condition
because this information is useful even if there's only 1
thread.

OK, so what I'm actually seeing on my WSM is that sched/clock.c is
'broken' for the purpose we're using it for.
What triggered it is that my WSM-EP is broken :-(
[ 0.001000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT
[ 0.002000] tsc: Detected 2533.715 MHz processor
[ 0.500180] TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#6]:
[ 0.505197] Measured 3 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
[ 0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+
should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems.
This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to
try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick,
clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until
it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu.
While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about
actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not
idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events
just fine on an otherwise idle cpu.
So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually
don't last nearly that long:
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter <-do_nmi
...
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990
So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees
~27us, but we measure ~1ms !!
Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually
fix it.

struct cpu_dev's c_models is only ever set inside CONFIG_X86_32
conditionals (or code that's being built for 32-bit only), so
there's no use of reserving the (empty) space for the model
names in a 64-bit kernel.
Similarly, c_size_cache is only used in the #else of a
CONFIG_X86_64 conditional, so reserving space for (and in one
case even initializing) that field is pointless for 64-bit
kernels too.
While moving both fields to the end of the structure, I also
noticed that:
- the c_models array size was one too small, potentially causing
table_lookup_model() to return garbage on Intel CPUs (intel.c's
instance was lacking the sentinel with family being zero), so the
patch bumps that by one,
- c_models' vendor sub-field was unused (and anyway redundant
with the base structure's c_x86_vendor field), so the patch deletes it.
Also rename the legacy fields so that their legacy nature stands out
and comment their declarations.

The solution to that is to avoid having to call copy_from_user_nmi() for
every instruction.
Since we already limit the max basic block size, we can easily
pre-allocate a piece of memory to copy the entire thing into in one
go.
