When testing cpu hotplug code on 32-bit we kept hitting the "CPU%d:
Stuck ??" message due to multiple cores concurrently accessing the
cpu_callin_mask, among others.
Since these codepaths are not protected from concurrent access due to
the fact that there's no sane reason for making an already complex
code unnecessarily more complex - we hit the issue only when insanely
switching cores off- and online - serialize hotplugging cores on the
sysfs level and be done with it.

Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW
commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range
0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the
pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page
table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's
page table.
This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular
calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer
x86 hardware.

There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware
breakpoints.
The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition
space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have
typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers
and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with
separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints
as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example.
The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space
definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address
registers can host either instruction or data address and
the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control
register. This is the case of x86 and Super H.
This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config
that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those
will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and
data breakpoints.
The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and
instruction breakpoints.

One side effect of it is that num_k8_northbridges

<arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:amd_calc_l3_indices()>,
for example, which uses the num_k8_northbridges thing through
node_to_k8_nb_misc().
Fix that through an initcall that runs right after the PCI
subsystem and does all the scanning. Then, remove initialization
in gart_iommu_init() which is a rootfs_initcall and we're
running before that.
What is more, since num_k8_northbridges is being used in other
places beside GART IOMMU, include it whenever we add AMD CPU
support. The previous dependency chain in kconfig contained
K8_NB depends on AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU
which was clearly incorrect. The more natural way in terms of
hardware dependency should be
AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU depends on K8_NB depends on CPU_SUP_AMD &&

The NUMAQ initialization sets x86_init.pci.init to pci_numaq_init,
which obviously isn't defined if CONFIG_PCI isn't defined. This
dependency was implicit in the past, because pci_numaq_init was
invoked from arch/x86/pci/legacy.c, which itself was conditioned on
CONFIG_PCI.
I suspect that no NUMA-Q machines without PCI were ever built, so
instead of complicating the code by adding #ifdefs or stub functions,
just disable this bit of the configuration space.

Introduce x86 arch-specific optimization code, which supports
both of x86-32 and x86-64.
This code also supports safety checking, which decodes whole of
a function in which probe is inserted, and checks following
conditions before optimization:
- The optimized instructions which will be replaced by a jump instruction
don't straddle the function boundary.
- There is no indirect jump instruction, because it will jumps into
the address range which is replaced by jump operand.
- There is no jump/loop instruction which jumps into the address range
which is replaced by jump operand.
- Don't optimize kprobes if it is in functions into which fixup code will
jumps.
This uses text_poke_multibyte() which doesn't support modifying
code on NMI/MCE handler. However, since kprobes itself doesn't
support NMI/MCE code probing, it's not a problem.
Changes in v9:
- Use *_text_reserved() for checking the probe can be optimized.
- Verify jump address range is in 2G range when preparing slot.
- Backup original code when switching optimized buffer, instead of
preparing buffer, because there can be int3 of other probes in
preparing phase.
- Check kprobe is disabled in arch_check_optimized_kprobe().
- Strictly check indirect jump opcodes (ff /4, ff /5).
Changes in v6:
- Split stop_machine-based jump patching code.
- Update comments and coding style.
Changes in v5:
- Introduce stop_machine-based jump replacing.

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable
pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately
userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable,
potentially turning an oops to an expolit.
To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override
the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values.
This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains
areas that cannot be mapped.
Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config
dependencies.
Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't
ensure perf can never be disabled under us.
We have:
config X86
selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
select PERF_EVENTS
config PERF_EVENTS
[...]
x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf
events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is
necessary for the breakpoints.
What we need is:
- x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS
- HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS
so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86.
This fixes the following kind of build errors:

Previously, OLPC support for the mic extensions was only enabled in the
ALSA driver if CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_MGEODE_LX were both set. This was
because the old geode GPIO code was written in a manner that assumed
CONFIG_MGEODE_LX. With the new cs553x-gpio driver, this is no longer the
case; as such, we can drop the requirement on CONFIG_MGEODE_LX and instead
include a requirement on GPIOLIB.
We use the generic GPIO API rather than the cs553x-specific API.

Merge reason: We need to be uptodate with the perf events development
branch because we plan to rewrite the breakpoints API on top of
perf events.
MTRR and PAT support (which got added to CPUs over 10 years ago)
are no longer really optional in that more and more things are
depending on PAT just working, including various drivers and newer
versions of X. (to not even speak of MTRR)
Having this as a regular config option just no longer makes sense.
This patch relegates CONFIG_X86_PAT to the EMBEDDED category so
ultra-embedded can still disable it if they really need to.

Some 64bit arch has special segment for mapping kernel text. It should be
entried to /proc/kcore in addtion to direct-linear-map, vmalloc area.
This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64.
I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch)
but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not in
direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary
thing to do.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Embedding percpu first chunk allocator can now handle very sparse unit
mapping. Use embedding allocator instead of lpage for 64bit NUMA.
This removes extra TLB pressure and the need to do complex and fragile
dancing when changing page attributes.
For 32bit, using very sparse unit mapping isn't a good idea because
the vmalloc space is very constrained. 32bit NUMA machines aren't
exactly the focus of optimization and it isn't very clear whether
lpage performs better than page. Use page first chunk allocator for
32bit NUMAs.
As this leaves setup_pcpu_*() functions pretty much empty, fold them
into setup_per_cpu_areas().

ed78e1e078dd44249f88b1dd8c76dafb39567161 which substituted many
num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids. As for-next branch has moved all
the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved
from arch code to mm/percpu.c.

Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based
laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default,
and hence perfcounters do not get initialized.
Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters
and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows
'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top'
and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling
method.
( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware
sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled
permanently by the hardware then this fallback still
allows more systems to use perfcounters. )
Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC.

This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator. The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.
s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.
The following architectures are affected by this change.
* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)
As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs. These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.
* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390
Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization). Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc. The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.
An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.
This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.
There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.
This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.
This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.
Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

Allow user programs to write mce records into /dev/mcelog. When they do
that a fake machine check is triggered to test the machine check code.
This uses the MCE MSR wrappers added earlier.
The implementation is straight forward. There is a struct mce record
per CPU and the MCE MSR accesses get data from there if there is valid
data injected there. This allows to test the machine check code
relatively realistically because only the lowest layer of hardware
access is intercepted.

The 64bit machine check code is in many ways much better than
the 32bit machine check code: it is more specification compliant,
is cleaner, only has a single code base versus one per CPU,
has better infrastructure for recovery, has a cleaner way to communicate
with user space etc. etc.
Use the 64bit code for 32bit too.
This is the second attempt to do this. There was one a couple of years
ago to unify this code for 32bit and 64bit. Back then this ran into some
trouble with K7s and was reverted.
I believe this time the K7 problems (and some others) are addressed.
I went over the old handlers and was very careful to retain
all quirks.
But of course this needs a lot of testing on old systems. On newer
64bit capable systems I don't expect much problems because they have been
already tested with the 64bit kernel.
I made this a CONFIG for now that still allows to select the old
machine check code. This is mostly to make testing easier,
if someone runs into a problem we can ask them to try
with the CONFIG switched.
The new code is default y for more coverage.
Once there is confidence the 64bit code works well on older hardware
too the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE and the associated code can be easily
removed.
This causes a behaviour change for 32bit installations. They now
have to install the mcelog package to be able to log
corrected machine checks.
The 64bit machine check code only handles CPUs which support the
standard Intel machine check architecture described in the IA32 SDM.
The 32bit code has special support for some older CPUs which
have non standard machine check architectures, in particular
WinChip C3 and Intel P5. I made those a separate CONFIG option
and kept them for now. The WinChip variant could be probably
removed without too much pain, it doesn't really do anything
interesting. P5 is also disabled by default (like it
was before) because many motherboards have it miswired, but
according to Alan Cox a few embedded setups use that one.

Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.
It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:
| commit 8efcbab674
| Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700
|
| paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).
If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).
Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:
nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin
CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18%
instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15%
CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03%
cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28%
cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56%
cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31%
branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04%
branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72%
branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67%
wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20%
The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.
(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)
So, what's the fix?
Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.
The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

We want to avoid the bottom 16 MB because of large page breakup,

Look at the:
diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds
output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for
trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a
"pgtable" thing.
So unify them.
There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing
rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS
end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but
other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion.
For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64",
and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't
do that.
Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about
"head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was
actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't
new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the
vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;)

It causes crash on system with lots of cards with MSI-X
when irq_balancer enabled...
The patches fixing it were both complex and fragile, according
to Eric they were also doing quite dangerous things to the
hardware.
Instead we now have patches that solve this problem via static
NUMA node mappings - not dynamic allocation and balancing.
The patches are much simpler than this method but are still too
large outside of the merge window, so we mark the dynamic balancer
as broken for now, and queue up the new approach for v2.6.31.

filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and

invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

The mce_amd_64 code has an own private MC threshold vector with an own
interrupt handler. Since Intel needs a similar handler
it makes sense to share the vector because both can not
be active at the same time.
I factored the common APIC handler code into a separate file which can
be used by both the Intel or AMD MC code.
This is needed for the next patch which adds an Intel specific
CMCI handler.

Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping
By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define
arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done
a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be
changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions
can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange
situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but
the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be
able to be used interchangeably.
This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the
backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel
interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also,
HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM.

Impact: remove unused/broken code
The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.
No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.
In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
build problems already known, needs serious and significant
changes and probably a rewrite to support it.
CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.
While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
fashion.
So remove this inactive code for now.

Impact: stack protector for x86_32
Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu
variable.
x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely
need something better.

Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit
On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.
* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.
* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
and simplifies entry path with error code.
* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The
lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.
* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.

The function graph tracer piggy backed onto the dynamic ftracer
to use the in_nmi custom code for dynamic tracing. The problem
was (as Andrew Morton pointed out) it really only wanted to bail
out if the context of the current CPU was in NMI context. But the
dynamic ftrace in_nmi custom code was true if _any_ CPU happened
to be in NMI context.
Now that we have a generic in_nmi interface, this patch changes
the function graph code to use it instead of the dynamic ftarce
custom code.

Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI
The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to
the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock
to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not
to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to
its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that
can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant
with the spinlocks disabling interrupts.
The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write
crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing
with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect
against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the
users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a
user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring
buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then
we risk the chance of a deadlock.
This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the
ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is
used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates
the Kconfig to handle it.
When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer
code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer
crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin
lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry
is discarded.
This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing
is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there.
