Pull x86/apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is a major overhaul to the x86 apic subsystem consisting of the
following parts:
- Remove obsolete APIC driver abstractions (David Rientjes)
- Use the irqdomain facilities to dynamically allocate IRQs for
IOAPICs. This is a prerequisite to enable IOAPIC hotplug support,
and it also frees up wasted vectors (Jiang Liu)
- Misc fixlets.
Despite the hickup in Ingos previous pull request - caused by the
missing fixup for the suspend/resume issue reported by Borislav - I
strongly recommend that this update finds its way into 3.17. Some
history for you:
This is preparatory work for physical IOAPIC hotplug. The first
attempt to support this was done by Yinghai and I shot it down because
it just added another layer of obscurity and complexity to the already
existing mess without tackling the underlying shortcomings of the
current implementation.
After quite some on- and offlist discussions, I requested that the
design of this functionality must use generic infrastructure, i.e.
irq domains, which provide all the mechanisms to dynamically map linux
interrupt numbers to physical interrupts.
Jiang picked up the idea and did a great job of consolidating the
existing interfaces to manage the x86 (IOAPIC) interrupt system by
utilizing irq domains.
The testing in tip, Linux-next and inside of Intel on various machines
did not unearth any oddities until Borislav exposed it to one of his
oddball machines. The issue was resolved quickly, but unfortunately
the fix fell through the cracks and did not hit the tip tree before
Ingo sent the pull request. Not entirely Ingos fault, I also assumed
that the fix was already merged when Ingo asked me whether he could
send it.
Nevertheless this work has a proper design, has undergone several
rounds of review and the final fallout after applying it to tip and
integrating it into Linux-next has been more than moderate. It's the
ground work not only for IOAPIC hotplug, it will also allow us to move
the lowlevel vector allocation into the irqdomain hierarchy, which
will benefit other architectures as well. Patches are posted already,
but they are on hold for two weeks, see below.
I really appreciate the competence and responsiveness Jiang has shown
in course of this endavour. So I'm sure that any fallout of this will
be addressed in a timely manner.
FYI, I'm vanishing for 2 weeks into my annual kids summer camp kitchen
duty^Wvacation, while you folks are drooling at KS/LinuxCon :) But HPA
will have a look at the hopefully zero fallout until I'm back"

This patch exposes two basic events for Ivytown IMC uncore PMU:
- cas_count_read: number of full-cache line reads to memory controller
- cas_count_write: number of full-cache line writes to memory controller
Those events use the same encoding as for SNB-EP, so reuse the same
event table. See specification in:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/manuals/xeon-e5-2600-v2-uncore-manual.pdf
By aggregating all the read and write events from all the memory controllers
of each processor socket, one can determine the total memory bandwidth utilization.

Haswell supports reporting the data address for a range
of PEBS events, including:
UOPS_RETIRED.ALL
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_LOADS
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_STORES
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOCK_LOADS
MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_LOADS

MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_NONE
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_MISS_RETIRED.LOCAL_DRAM
This facility was already enabled earlier with the original Haswell
perf changes.
However these addresses were always reports as stores by perf, which is wrong,
as they could be loads too. The hardware does not distinguish loads and stores
for these instructions, so there's no (cheap) way for the profiler
to find out.
Change the type to PERF_MEM_OP_NA instead.

The basic idea is that it does not make sense to list all PEBS
events individually. The list is very long, sometimes outdated
and the hardware doesn't need it. If an event does not support
PEBS it will just not count, there is no security issue.
We need to only list events that something special, like
supporting load or store addresses.
This vastly simplifies the PEBS event selection. It also
speeds up the scheduling because the scheduler doesn't
have to walk as many constraints.
Bugs fixed:
- We do not allow setting forbidden flags with PEBS anymore
(SDM 18.9.4), except for the special cycle event.
This is done using a new constraint macro that also
matches on the event flags.
- Correct DataLA and load/store/na flags reporting on Haswell
[Requires a followon patch]
- We did not allow all PEBS events on Haswell:
We were missing some valid subevents in d1-d2 (MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.*,
MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED_L3_HIT_RETIRED.*)
This includes the changes proposed by Stephane earlier and obsoletes
his patchkit (except for some changes on pre Sandy Bridge/Silvermont
CPUs)
I only did Sandy Bridge and Silvermont and later so far, mostly because these
are the parts I could directly confirm the hardware behavior with hardware
architects. Also I do not believe the older CPUs have any
missing events in their PEBS list, so there's no pressing
need to change them.
I did not implement the flag proposed by Peter to allow
setting forbidden flags. If really needed this could
be implemented on to of this patch.
v2: Fix broken store events on SNB/IVB (Stephane Eranian)
v3: More fixes. Rename some arguments (Stephane Eranian)
v4: List most Haswell events individually again to report
memory operation type correctly.
Add new flags to describe load/store/na for datala.
Update description.

This fixes a side effect of Kan's earlier patch to probe the LBRs at boot
time. Normally when the LBRs are disabled cycles:pp is disabled too.
So for example cycles:pp doesn't work.
However this is not needed with PEBSv2 and later (Haswell) because
it does not need LBRs to correct the IP-off-by-one.
So add an extra check for PEBSv2 that also allows :pp

HSW-EP has a larger offcore mask than the client Haswell CPUs.
It is the same mask as on Sandy/IvyBridge-EP. All of
Haswell was using the client mask, so some bits were missing.
On the client parts some bits were also missing compared
to Sandy/IvyBridge, in particular the bits to match on a L4
cache hit.
The Haswell core in both client and server incarnations
accepts the same bits (but some are nops), so we can use
the same mask.
So use the snbep extended mask, which is a superset of the
client and the server, for all of Haswell.
This allows specifying a number of extra offcore events, like
for example for HSW-EP.
% perf stat -e cpu/event=0xb7,umask=0x1,offcore_rsp=0x3fffc00100,name=offcore_response_pf_l3_rfo_l3_miss_any_response/ true
which were <not supported> before.

This is the final piece of the puzzle of verifying kernel image signature
during kexec_file_load() syscall.
This patch calls into PE file routines to verify signature of bzImage. If
signature are valid, kexec_file_load() succeeds otherwise it fails.
Two new config options have been introduced. First one is
CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG. This option enforces that kernel has to be
validly signed otherwise kernel load will fail. If this option is not
set, no signature verification will be done. Only exception will be when
secureboot is enabled. In that case signature verification should be
automatically enforced when secureboot is enabled. But that will happen
when secureboot patches are merged.
Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG. This option
enables signature verification support on bzImage. If this option is not
set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel
does not have support to verify signature of bzImage.
I tested these patches with both "pesign" and "sbsign" signed bzImages.
I used signing_key.priv key and signing_key.x509 cert for signing as
generated during kernel build process (if module signing is enabled).
Used following method to sign bzImage.
pesign
======
- Convert DER format cert to PEM format cert
openssl x509 -in signing_key.x509 -inform DER -out signing_key.x509.PEM -outform
PEM
- Generate a .p12 file from existing cert and private key file
openssl pkcs12 -export -out kernel-key.p12 -inkey signing_key.priv -in
signing_key.x509.PEM
- Import .p12 file into pesign db
pk12util -i /tmp/kernel-key.p12 -d /etc/pki/pesign
- Sign bzImage
pesign -i /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+ -o /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.pesign
-c "Glacier signing key - Magrathea" -s
sbsign
======
sbsign --key signing_key.priv --cert signing_key.x509.PEM --output
/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.sbsign /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+
Patch details:
Well all the hard work is done in previous patches. Now bzImage loader
has just call into that code and verify whether bzImage signature are
valid or not.
Also create two config options. First one is CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG.
This option enforces that kernel has to be validly signed otherwise kernel
load will fail. If this option is not set, no signature verification will
be done. Only exception will be when secureboot is enabled. In that case
signature verification should be automatically enforced when secureboot is
enabled. But that will happen when secureboot patches are merged.
Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG. This option
enables signature verification support on bzImage. If this option is not
set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel
does not have support to verify signature of bzImage.

This patch does two things. It passes EFI run time mappings to second
kernel in bootparams efi_info. Second kernel parse this info and create
new mappings in second kernel. That means mappings in first and second
kernel will be same. This paves the way to enable EFI in kexec kernel.
This patch also prepares and passes EFI setup data through bootparams.
This contains bunch of information about various tables and their
addresses.
These information gathering and passing has been written along the lines
of what current kexec-tools is doing to make kexec work with UEFI.

Load purgatory code in RAM and relocate it based on the location.
Relocation code has been inspired by module relocation code and purgatory
relocation code in kexec-tools.
Also compute the checksums of loaded kexec segments and store them in
purgatory.
Arch independent code provides this functionality so that arch dependent
bootloaders can make use of it.
Helper functions are provided to get/set symbol values in purgatory which
are used by bootloaders later to set things like stack and entry point of
second kernel etc.

Previous patch provided the interface definition and this patch prvides
implementation of new syscall.
Previously segment list was prepared in user space. Now user space just
passes kernel fd, initrd fd and command line and kernel will create a
segment list internally.
This patch contains generic part of the code. Actual segment preparation
and loading is done by arch and image specific loader. Which comes in
next patch.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.
- The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

Commit ea431643d6 ("x86/mce: Fix CMCI preemption bugs") breaks RT by
the completely unrelated conversion of the cmci_discover_lock to a
regular (non raw) spinlock. This lock was annotated in commit
59d958d2c7 ("locking, x86: mce: Annotate cmci_discover_lock as raw")
with a proper explanation why.
The argument for converting the lock back to a regular spinlock was:
- it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.
Which is complete nonsense. The raw_spinlock is disabling preemption in
the same way as a regular spinlock. In mainline spinlock maps to
raw_spinlock, in RT spinlock becomes a "sleeping" lock.
raw_spinlock has on RT exactly the same semantics as in mainline. And
because this lock is taken in non preemptible context it must be raw on
RT.
Undo the locking brainfart.

to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

I think the flush_tlb_mm_range() code that tries to tune the
flush sizes based on the CPU needs to get ripped out for
several reasons:
1. It is obviously buggy. It uses mm->total_vm to judge the
task's footprint in the TLB. It should certainly be using
some measure of RSS, *NOT* ->total_vm since only resident
memory can populate the TLB.
2. Haswell, and several other CPUs are missing from the
intel_tlb_flushall_shift_set() function. Thus, it has been
demonstrated to bitrot quickly in practice.
3. It is plain wrong in my vm:
[ 0.037444] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] tlb_flushall_shift: 6
Which leads to it to never use invlpg.
4. The assumptions about TLB refill costs are wrong:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337782555-8088-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com
(more on this in later patches)
5. I can not reproduce the original data: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59
I believe the sample times were too short. Running the
benchmark in a loop yields times that vary quite a bit.
Note that this leaves us with a static ceiling of 1 page. This
is a conservative, dumb setting, and will be revised in a later
patch.
This also removes the code which attempts to predict whether we
are flushing data or instructions. We expect instruction flushes
to be relatively rare and not worth tuning for explicitly.
