This patch has been invaluable in my adventures finding
issues in the perf NMI handler. I'm as big a fan of
printk() as anybody is, but using printk() in NMIs is
deadly when they're happening frequently.
Even hacking in trace_printk() ended up eating enough
CPU to throw off some of the measurements I was making.

I have a system which is causing all kinds of problems. It has
8 NUMA nodes, and lots of cores that can fight over cachelines.
If things are not working _perfectly_, then NMIs can take longer
than expected.
If we get too many of them backed up to each other, we can
easily end up in a situation where we are doing nothing *but*
running NMIs. The biggest problem, though, is that this happens
_silently_. You might be lucky to get an hrtimer warning, but
most of the time system simply hangs.
This patch should at least give us some warning before we fall
off the cliff. the warnings look like this:
nmi_handle: perf_event_nmi_handler() took: 26095071 ns
The message is triggered whenever we notice the longest NMI
we've seen to date. You can always view and reset this value
via the debugfs interface if you like.

Avi Kivity reported that page faults in NMIs could cause havic if
the NMI preempted another page fault handler:
The recent changes to NMI allow exceptions to take place in NMI
handlers, but I think that a #PF (say, due to access to vmalloc space)
is still problematic. Consider the sequence
#PF (cr2 set by processor)
NMI
...
#PF (cr2 clobbered)
do_page_fault()
IRET
...
IRET
do_page_fault()
address = read_cr2()
The last line reads the overwritten cr2 value.

I've been informed by someone on LWN called 'slashdot' that
some i386 machines do not support a true cmpxchg. The cmpxchg
used by the i386 NMI nesting code must be a true cmpxchg as
disabling interrupts will not work for NMIs (which is the work
around for i386s that do not have a true cmpxchg).
This 'slashdot' character also suggested a fix to the issue.
As the state of the nesting NMIs goes as follows:
NOT_RUNNING -> EXECUTING
EXECUTING -> NOT_RUNNING
EXECUTING -> LATCHED
LATCHED -> EXECUTING
Having these states as enum values of:
NOT_RUNNING = 0
EXECUTING = 1
LATCHED = 2
Instead of a cmpxchg to make EXECUTING -> NOT_RUNNING a
dec_and_test() would work as well. If the dec_and_test brings
the state to NOT_RUNNING, that is the same as a cmpxchg
succeeding to change EXECUTING to NOT_RUNNING. If a nested NMI
were to come in and change it to LATCHED, the dec_and_test() would
convert the state to EXECUTING (what we want it to be in such a
case anyway).
I asked 'slashdot' to post this as a patch, but it never came to
be. I decided to do the work instead.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting to use this_cpu_dec_and_return()
instead of local_dec_and_test(&__get_cpu_var()).

When an NMI goes off and it sees that it preempted the debug stack,
to keep the debug stack safe, it changes the IDT to point to one that
does not modify the stack on breakpoint (to allow breakpoints in NMIs).
But the variable that gets set to know to undo it on exit never gets
cleared on exit. Thus every NMI will reset it on exit the first time
it is done even if it does not need to be reset.

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."
Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.
But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.
So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete

Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.
This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.
One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

As ftrace function tracing would require modifying code that could
be executed in NMI context, which is not stopped with stop_machine(),
ftrace had to do a complex algorithm with various stages of setup
and memory barriers to make it work.
With the new breakpoint method, this is no longer required. The changes
to the code can be done without any problem in NMI context, as well as
without stop machine altogether. Remove the complex code as it is
no longer needed.
Also, a lot of the notrace annotations could be removed from the
NMI code as it is now safe to trace them. With the exception of
do_nmi itself, which does some special work to handle running in
the debug stack. The breakpoint method can cause NMIs to double
nest the debug stack if it's not setup properly, and that is done
in do_nmi(), thus that function must not be traced.

This patch tries to fix the problem of page fault exception
caused by accessing nmiaction structure in nmi if kmemcheck
is enabled.
If kmemcheck is enabled, the memory allocated through slab are
in pages that are marked non-present, so that some checks could
be done in the page fault handling code ( e.g. whether the
memory is read before written to ).
As nmiaction is allocated in this way, so it resides in a
non-present page. Then there is a page fault while the nmi code
accessing the nmiaction structure, which would then cause a
warning by WARN_ON_ONCE(in_nmi()) in kmemcheck_fault(), called
by do_page_fault().
This significantly simplifies the code as well, as the whole
dynamic allocation dance goes away.
v2: as Peter suggested, changed the nmiaction to use static
storage.
v3: as Peter suggested, use macro to shorten the codes. Also
keep the original usage of register_nmi_handler, so users of
this call doesn't need change.

In discussions with Thomas Mingarelli about hpwdt, he explained
to me some issues they were some when using their virtual NMI
button to test the hpwdt driver.
It turns out the virtual NMI button used on HP's machines do no
send unknown NMIs but instead send IO_CHK NMIs. The way the
kernel code is written, the hpwdt driver can not register itself
against that type of NMI and therefore can not successfully
capture system information before panic'ing.
To solve this I created two new NMI queues to allow driver to
register against the IO_CHK and SERR NMIs. Or in the hpwdt all
three (if you include unknown NMIs too).
The change is straightforward and just mimics what the unknown
NMI does.

With i386, NMIs and breakpoints use the current stack and they
do not reset the stack pointer to a fix point that might corrupt
a previous NMI or breakpoint (as it does in x86_64). But NMIs are
still not made to be re-entrant, and need to prevent the case that
an NMI hitting a breakpoint (which does an iret), doesn't allow
another NMI to run.
The fix is to let the NMI be in 3 different states:
1) not running
2) executing
3) latched
When no NMI is executing on a given CPU, the state is "not running".
When the first NMI comes in, the state is switched to "executing".
On exit of that NMI, a cmpxchg is performed to switch the state
back to "not running" and if that fails, the NMI is restarted.
If a breakpoint is hit and does an iret, which re-enables NMIs,
and another NMI comes in before the first NMI finished, it will
detect that the state is not in the "not running" state and the
current NMI is nested. In this case, the state is switched to "latched"
to let the interrupted NMI know to restart the NMI handler, and
the nested NMI exits without doing anything.

We want to allow NMI handlers to have breakpoints to be able to
remove stop_machine from ftrace, kprobes and jump_labels. But if
an NMI interrupts a current breakpoint, and then it triggers a
breakpoint itself, it will switch to the breakpoint stack and
corrupt the data on it for the breakpoint processing that it
interrupted.
Instead, have the NMI check if it interrupted breakpoint processing
by checking if the stack that is currently used is a breakpoint
stack. If it is, then load a special IDT that changes the IST
for the debug exception to keep the same stack in kernel context.
When the NMI is done, it puts it back.
This way, if the NMI does trigger a breakpoint, it will keep
using the same stack and not stomp on the breakpoint data for
the breakpoint it interrupted.

Previous patches allow the NMI subsystem to process multipe NMI events
in one NMI. As previously discussed this can cause issues when an event
triggered another NMI but is processed in the current NMI. This causes the
next NMI to go unprocessed and become an 'unknown' NMI.
To handle this, we first have to flag whether or not the NMI handler handled
more than one event or not. If it did, then there exists a chance that
the next NMI might be already processed. Once the NMI is flagged as a
candidate to be swallowed, we next look for a back-to-back NMI condition.
This is determined by looking at the %rip from pt_regs. If it is the same
as the previous NMI, it is assumed the cpu did not have a chance to jump
back into a non-NMI context and execute code and instead handled another NMI.
If both of those conditions are true then we will swallow any unknown NMI.
There still exists a chance that we accidentally swallow a real unknown NMI,
but for now things seem better.
An optimization has also been added to the nmi notifier rountine. Because x86
can latch up to one NMI while currently processing an NMI, we don't have to
worry about executing _all_ the handlers in a standalone NMI. The idea is
if multiple NMIs come in, the second NMI will represent them. For those
back-to-back NMI cases, we have the potentail to drop NMIs. Therefore only
execute all the handlers in the second half of a detected back-to-back NMI.

The NMI handlers used to rely on the notifier infrastructure. This worked
great until we wanted to support handling multiple events better.
One of the key ideas to the nmi handling is to process _all_ the handlers for
each NMI. The reason behind this switch is because NMIs are edge triggered.
If enough NMIs are triggered, then they could be lost because the cpu can
only latch at most one NMI (besides the one currently being processed).
In order to deal with this we have decided to process all the NMI handlers
for each NMI. This allows the handlers to determine if they recieved an
event or not (the ones that can not determine this will be left to fend
for themselves on the unknown NMI list).
As a result of this change it is now possible to have an extra NMI that
was destined to be received for an already processed event. Because the
event was processed in the previous NMI, this NMI gets dropped and becomes
an 'unknown' NMI. This of course will cause printks that scare people.
However, we prefer to have extra NMIs as opposed to losing NMIs and as such
are have developed a basic mechanism to catch most of them. That will be
a later patch.
To accomplish this idea, I unhooked the nmi handlers from the notifier
routines and created a new mechanism loosely based on doIRQ. The reason
for this is the notifier routines have a couple of shortcomings. One we
could't guarantee all future NMI handlers used NOTIFY_OK instead of
NOTIFY_STOP. Second, we couldn't keep track of the number of events being
handled in each routine (most only handle one, perf can handle more than one).
Third, I wanted to eventually display which nmi handlers are registered in
the system in /proc/interrupts to help see who is generating NMIs.
The patch below just implements the new infrastructure but doesn't wire it up
yet (that is the next patch). Its design is based on doIRQ structs and the
atomic notifier routines. So the rcu stuff in the patch isn't entirely untested
(as the notifier routines have soaked it) but it should be double checked in
case I copied the code wrong.

does mean so we allow the using of symbolic names here.
Old numeric values remain valid.

Impact: change NMI watchdog detection and disabling sequence
Currently, if the NMI watchdog fails using IOAPIC method, it'll only disable
interrupts on 8259 if the timer is passing thru it. This patch disables
NMI delivery on LINT0 if the NMI watchdog initial test fails, just for safety.

There's a small window when NMI watchdog is being set up that if any NMIs
are triggered, the NMI code will make make use of not initalized wd_ops
elements:
void setup_apic_nmi_watchdog(void *unused)
{
if (__get_cpu_var(wd_enabled))
return;
/* cheap hack to support suspend/resume */
/* if cpu0 is not active neither should the other cpus */
if (smp_processor_id() != 0 && atomic_read(&nmi_active) <= 0)
return;
switch (nmi_watchdog) {
case NMI_LOCAL_APIC:
/* enable it before to avoid race with handler */
--> __get_cpu_var(wd_enabled) = 1;
--> if (lapic_watchdog_init(nmi_hz) < 0) {
(...)
asmlinkage notrace __kprobes void default_do_nmi(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
(...)
if (nmi_watchdog_tick(regs, reason))
return;
(...)
notrace __kprobes int
nmi_watchdog_tick(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned reason)
{
(...)
if (!__get_cpu_var(wd_enabled))
return rc;
switch (nmi_watchdog) {
case NMI_LOCAL_APIC:
rc |= lapic_wd_event(nmi_hz);
(...)
int lapic_wd_event(unsigned nmi_hz)
{
struct nmi_watchdog_ctlblk *wd = &__get_cpu_var(nmi_watchdog_ctlblk);
u64 ctr;
--> rdmsrl(wd->perfctr_msr, ctr);
and wd->*_msr will be initialized on each processor type specific setup, after
enabling NMIs for PMIs. Since the counter was just set, the chances of an
performance counter generated NMI is minimal, but any other unknown NMI would
trigger the problem. This patch fixes the problem by setting everything up
before enabling performance counter generated NMIs and will set wd_enabled
using a callback function.

It's not possible to enable the unknown_nmi_panic sysctl option
until init is run. It's useful to be able to panic the kernel
during boot too, this adds a parameter to enable this option.

Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time. Remove the
X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum. Remove
apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends. The use of
ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
used it for readability's sake.
I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
and here it is. Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
"feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
have disregarded it.
I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
have left changes to them out. The option will get removed from them at
the next run.
Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
everywhere.

In the course of the recent unification of the NMI watchdog an assignment
to timer_ack to switch off unnecesary POLL commands to the 8259A in the
case of a watchdog failure has been accidentally removed. The statement
used to be limited to the 32-bit variation as since the rewrite of the
timer code it has been relevant for the 82489DX only. This change brings
it back.

There is no need to keep NMI_DISABLED definition and use it
for nmi_watchdog by default. Here is the point why:
- IO-APIC and APIC chips are programmed for nmi_watchdog support at very
early stage of kernel booting and not having nmi_watchdog specified as
boot option lead only to nmi_watchdog becomes to NMI_NONE anyway
- enable nmi_watchdog thru /proc/sys/kernel/nmi if it was not specified at
boot is not possible too (even having this sysfs entry)

Since nmi_watchdog is unsigned variable we may
safely remove the check for negative value.
