For some performance events it's useful to set the EDGE and INV
bits and the CMASK mask in the counter control register. The list
of predefined events Intel releases for each CPU has some events which
require these settings to get more "natural" to use higher level events.
oprofile currently doesn't allow this.
This patch adds new extra configuration fields for them, so that
they can be specified in oprofilefs.
An updated oprofile daemon can then make use of this to set them.
v2: Write back masked extra value to variable.

Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and
shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and
they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this
purpose. This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive
memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for
this purpose instead.
Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use
sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose
suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the
majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their
struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that,
because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler
way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks
use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument
is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c). In all
of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to
using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown.

x86: Flush TLB if PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE mode

x86: Clean up csum-copy_64.S a bit
x86: Fix common misspellings

x86: Use PentiumPro-optimized partial_csum() on VIA C7
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.
However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.
Commit 9c0729dc80 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.
This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

These warnings are trivial to kill, yet rather annoying when building with

The more we can cut down on pointless crap like this the better (IMHO).
A previous patch to do this for a 'allnoconfig' build has already been

With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between
DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI.
This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit. Instead of calling the
die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before
the if-statement. This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport
to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent)
internal NMIs are dealt with.

Replace all uses of current_cpu_data with this_cpu operations on the
per cpu structure cpu_info. The scala accesses are replaced with the
matching this_cpu ops which results in smaller and more efficient
code.
In the long run, it might be a good idea to remove cpu_data() macro
too and use per_cpu macro directly.

The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a
local implementation to the global one provide by
kernel/watchdog.c. This shift has caused a whole bunch of
compile problems under different config options. I attempt to
simplify things with the patch below.
In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the
meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing,
the former on a local level and the latter on a global level.
With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on
defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't
make sense any more. x86 will now use the global
implementation.
The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few
places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter
anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were
relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog
functionality, so the change should make sense.
Second, I removed the x86 implementation of
touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely
on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation.
Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from
x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to
look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This
changes removes some of the ugliness in that file.
Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can
only have one nmi_watchdog.
Tested with
ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken
configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig,
(various broken configs)
Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken
emails. :-)
v3:
changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function
prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.
However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:
(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task
In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0. If it _is_ defined, then
- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs,
- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
dump_trace(),
- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs.
Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.
This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

Now that the bulk of the old nmi_watchdog is gone, remove all
the stub variables and hooks associated with it.
This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic

is forever gone, remove all its fingers.
Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of
nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to

Back when the patch was submitted for "Add Xeon 7500 series support to
oprofile", Robert Richter had asked for a followon patch that
converted all the CPU ID values to hex.
I have done that here for the "i386/core_i7" and "i386/atom" class
processors in the ppro_init() function and also added some comments on
where to find documentation on the Intel processors.

Current IBS code is not hotplug capable. An offline cpu might not be
initialized or deinitialized properly. This patch fixes this by
removing on_each_cpu() functions. The IBS init/deinit code is executed
in the per-cpu functions model->setup_ctrs() and model->cpu_down()
which are also called by hotplug notifiers. model->cpu_down() replaces
model->exit() that became obsolete.

This patch moves the cpu notifier registration from nmi_init() to
nmi_setup(). The corresponding unregistration function is now in
nmi_shutdown(). Thus, the hotplug code is only active, if the oprofile
daemon is running.

Reordering some functions. Necessary for the next patch. No functional
changes.
