96b6352c12 x86_64, entry: Remove the syscall exit audit and schedule optimizations
We used to optimize rescheduling and audit on syscall exit.  Now
that the full slow path is reasonably fast, remove these
optimizations.  Syscall exit auditing is now handled exclusively by
syscall_trace_leave.

This adds something like 10ns to the previously optimized paths on
my computer, presumably due mostly to SAVE_REST / RESTORE_REST.

I think that we should eventually replace both the syscall and
non-paranoid interrupt exit slow paths with a pair of C functions
along the lines of the syscall entry hooks.

2a23c6b8a9 x86_64, entry: Use sysret to return to userspace when possible
The x86_64 entry code currently jumps through complex and
inconsistent hoops to try to minimize the impact of syscall exit
work.  For a true fast-path syscall, almost nothing needs to be
done, so returning is just a check for exit work and sysret.  For a
full slow-path return from a syscall, the C exit hook is invoked if
needed and we join the iret path.

Using iret to return to userspace is very slow, so the entry code
has accumulated various special cases to try to do certain forms of
exit work without invoking iret.  This is error-prone, since it
duplicates assembly code paths, and it's dangerous, since sysret
can malfunction in interesting ways if used carelessly.  It's
also inefficient, since a lot of useful cases aren't optimized
and therefore force an iret out of a combination of paranoia and
the fact that no one has bothered to write even more asm code
to avoid it.

I would argue that this approach is backwards.  Rather than trying
to avoid the iret path, we should instead try to make the iret path
fast.  Under a specific set of conditions, iret is unnecessary.  In
particular, if RIP==RCX, RFLAGS==R11, RIP is canonical, RF is not
set, and both SS and CS are as expected, then
movq 32(%rsp),%rsp;sysret does the same thing as iret.  This set of
conditions is nearly always satisfied on return from syscalls, and
it can even occasionally be satisfied on return from an irq.

Even with the careful checks for sysret applicability, this cuts
nearly 80ns off of the overhead from syscalls with unoptimized exit
work.  This includes tracing and context tracking, and any return
that invokes KVM's user return notifier.  For example, the cost of
getpid with CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE=y drops from ~360ns to
~280ns on my computer.

This may allow the removal and even eventual conversion to C
of a respectable amount of exit asm.

This may require further tweaking to give the full benefit on Xen.

It may be worthwhile to adjust signal delivery and exec to try hit
the sysret path.

This does not optimize returns to 32-bit userspace.  Making the same
optimization for CS == __USER32_CS is conceptually straightforward,
but it will require some tedious code to handle the differences
between sysretl and sysexitl.

772a9aca12 This is my accumulated x86 entry work, part 1, for 3.20. The meat
of this is an IST rework.  When an IST exception interrupts user
 space, we will handle it on the per-thread kernel stack instead of
 on the IST stack.  This sounds messy, but it actually simplifies the
 IST entry/exit code, because it eliminates some ugly games we used
 to play in order to handle rescheduling, signal delivery, etc on the
 way out of an IST exception.
 
 The IST rework introduces proper context tracking to IST exception
 handlers.  I haven't seen any bug reports, but the old code could
 have incorrectly treated an IST exception handler as an RCU extended
 quiescent state.
 
 The memory failure change (included in this pull request with
 Borislav and Tony's permission) eliminates a bunch of code that
 is no longer needed now that user memory failure handlers are
 called in process context.
 
 Finally, this includes a few on Denys' uncontroversial and Obviously
 Correct (tm) cleanups.
 
 The IST and memory failure changes have been in -next for a while.

0fcedc8631 x86_64 entry: Fix RCX for ptraced syscalls
The int_ret_from_sys_call and syscall tracing code disagrees
with the sysret path as to the value of RCX.

The Intel SDM, the AMD APM, and my laptop all agree that sysret
returns with RCX == RIP.  The syscall tracing code does not
respect this property.

For example, this program:

int main()
{
	extern const char syscall_rip[];
	unsigned long rcx = 1;
	unsigned long orig_rcx = rcx;
	asm ("mov $-1, %%eax\n\t"
	     "syscall\n\t"
	     "syscall_rip:"
	     : "+c" (rcx) : : "r11");
	printf("syscall: RCX = %lX  RIP = %lX  orig RCX = %lx\n",
	       rcx, (unsigned long)syscall_rip, orig_rcx);
	return 0;
}

prints:

  syscall: RCX = 400556  RIP = 400556  orig RCX = 1

Running it under strace gives this instead:

  syscall: RCX = FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF  RIP = 400556  orig RCX = 1

This changes FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK to match sysret, causing the
test to show RCX == RIP even under strace.

It looks like this is a partial revert of:
88e4bc32686e ("[PATCH] x86-64 architecture specific sync for 2.5.8")
from the historic git tree.

48e08d0fb2 x86, entry: Switch stacks on a paranoid entry from userspace
This causes all non-NMI, non-double-fault kernel entries from
userspace to run on the normal kernel stack.  Double-fault is
exempt to minimize confusion if we double-fault directly from
userspace due to a bad kernel stack.

This is, suprisingly, simpler and shorter than the current code.  It
removes the IMO rather frightening paranoid_userspace path, and it
make sync_regs much simpler.

There is no risk of stack overflow due to this change -- the kernel
stack that we switch to is empty.

This will also enable us to create non-atomic sections within
machine checks from userspace, which will simplify memory failure
handling.  It will also allow the upcoming fsgsbase code to be
simplified, because it doesn't need to worry about usergs when
scheduling in paranoid_exit, as that code no longer exists.

  issues and it is fully bisectible now.

  I'm pretty confident that this wont affect the calmness of the xmas
  season.

  Changes:
   - Split the convoluted io_apic.c code into domain specific parts
     (vector, ioapic, msi, htirq)
   - Introduce proper helper functions to retrieve irq specific data
     instead of open coded dereferencing of pointers
   - Preparatory work for ioapic hotplug and irqdomain conversion
   - Removal of the non functional pci-ioapic driver
   - Removal of unused irq entry stubs

2414e021ac x86: Avoid building unused IRQ entry stubs
When X86_LOCAL_APIC (i.e. unconditionally on x86-64),
first_system_vector will never end up being higher than
LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR (0xef), and hence building stubs for vectors
0xef...0xff is pointlessly reducing code density. Deal with this at
build time already.

Taking into consideration that X86_64 implies X86_LOCAL_APIC, also
simplify (and hence make easier to read and more consistent with the
change done here) some #if-s in arch/x86/kernel/irqinit.c.

While we could further improve the packing of the IRQ entry stubs (the
four ones now left in the last set could be fit into the four padding
bytes each of the final four sets have) this doesn't seem to provide
any real benefit: Both irq_entries_start and common_interrupt getting
cache line aligned, eliminating the 30th set would just produce 32
bytes of padding between the 29th and common_interrupt.

b645af2d59 x86_64, traps: Rework bad_iret
It's possible for iretq to userspace to fail.  This can happen because
of a bad CS, SS, or RIP.

Historically, we've handled it by fixing up an exception from iretq to
land at bad_iret, which pretends that the failed iret frame was really
the hardware part of #GP(0) from userspace.  To make this work, there's
an extra fixup to fudge the gs base into a usable state.

This is suboptimal because it loses the original exception.  It's also
buggy because there's no guarantee that we were on the kernel stack to
begin with.  For example, if the failing iret happened on return from an
NMI, then we'll end up executing general_protection on the NMI stack.
This is bad for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that
general_protection, as a non-paranoid idtentry, will try to deliver
signals and/or schedule from the wrong stack.

This patch throws out bad_iret entirely.  As a replacement, it augments
the existing swapgs fudge into a full-blown iret fixup, mostly written
in C.  It's should be clearer and more correct.

6f442be2fb x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SS
On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks.

On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret
to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a
genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code.  The first two
cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs,
and promoting them to double faults would be fine.

This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment
violation.

This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.

1dcf74f6ed x86_64, entry: Use split-phase syscall_trace_enter for 64-bit syscalls
On KVM on my box, this reduces the overhead from an always-accept
seccomp filter from ~130ns to ~17ns.  Most of that comes from
avoiding IRET on every syscall when seccomp is enabled.

In extremely approximate hacked-up benchmarking, just bypassing IRET
saves about 80ns, so there's another 43ns of savings here from
simplifying the seccomp path.

The diffstat is also rather nice :)

54eea9957f x86_64, entry: Treat regs->ax the same in fastpath and slowpath syscalls
For slowpath syscalls, we initialize regs->ax to -ENOSYS and stick
the syscall number into regs->orig_ax prior to any possible tracing
and syscall execution.  This is user-visible ABI used by ptrace
syscall emulation and seccomp.

For fastpath syscalls, there's no good reason not to do the same
thing.  It's even slightly simpler than what we're currently doing.
It probably has no measureable performance impact.  It should have
no user-visible effect.

The purpose of this patch is to prepare for two-phase syscall
tracing, in which the first phase might modify the saved RAX without
leaving the fast path.  This change is just subtle enough that I'm
keeping it separate.

This moves the espfix64 logic into native_iret.  To make this work,
it gets rid of the native patch for INTERRUPT_RETURN:
INTERRUPT_RETURN on native kernels is now 'jmp native_iret'.

This changes the 16-bit SS behavior on Xen from OOPSing to leaking
some bits of the Xen hypervisor's RSP (I think).

[ hpa: this is a nonzero cost on native, but probably not enough to
  measure. Xen needs to fix this in their own code, probably doing

3bab13b015 x86/debug: Drop several unnecessary CFI annotations
With the conversion of the register saving code from macros to
functions, and with those functions not clobbering most of the
registers they spill, there's no need to annotate most of the
spill operations; the only exceptions being %rbx (always
modified) and %rcx (modified on the error_kernelspace: path).

Also remove a bogus commented out annotation - there's no
register %orig_rax after all.

3891a04aaf x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stack
The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only
restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer.  This
causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state
to user space.  We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for
the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which
is not available in 64-bit mode.

In checkin:

    b3b42ac2cb x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels

we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with
the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no
V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like
running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work.

This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which
is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart.  When we detect that the return SS is
on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the
relevant alias to return to userspace.  The ministacks are mapped
readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST
vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF
handler.

(Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe
in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.)

Special thanks to:

- Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots
  and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the
  suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF.
- Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing.
- Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

.entry.text is a code area which is used for interrupt/syscall
entries, which includes many sensitive code.
Thus, it is better to prohibit probing on all of such code
instead of a part of that.
Since some symbols are already registered on kprobe blacklist,
this also removes them from the blacklist.

c2daa3bed5 sched, x86: Provide a per-cpu preempt_count implementation
Convert x86 to use a per-cpu preemption count. The reason for doing so
is that accessing per-cpu variables is a lot cheaper than accessing
thread_info variables.

We still need to save/restore the actual preemption count due to
PREEMPT_ACTIVE so we place the per-cpu __preempt_count variable in the
same cache-line as the other hot __switch_to() variables such as
current_task.

NOTE: this save/restore is required even for !PREEMPT kernels as
cond_resched() also relies on preempt_count's PREEMPT_ACTIVE to ignore
task_struct::state.

Also rename thread_info::preempt_count to ensure nobody is
'accidentally' still poking at it.

1adfa76a95 x86, flags: Rename X86_EFLAGS_BIT1 to X86_EFLAGS_FIXED
Bit 1 in the x86 EFLAGS is always set.  Name the macro something that
actually tries to explain what it is all about, rather than being a
tautology.

33e5ff634f x86/tracing: Add config option checking to the definitions of mce handlers
In case CONFIG_X86_MCE_THRESHOLD and CONFIG_X86_THERMAL_VECTOR
are disabled, kernel build fails as follows.

   arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `trace_threshold_interrupt':
   (.entry.text+0x122b): undefined reference to `smp_trace_threshold_interrupt'
   arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `trace_thermal_interrupt':
   (.entry.text+0x132b): undefined reference to `smp_trace_thermal_interrupt'

In this case, trace_threshold_interrupt/trace_thermal_interrupt
are not needed to define.

So, add config option checking to their definitions in entry_64.S.

cf910e83ae x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints
[Purpose of this patch]

As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html

<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled.  They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.

There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers.  Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.

The trace also tells where the system is spending its time.  We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system.  Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>

On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.

I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.

[Patch Description]

Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.

So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
   - local_timer_vector
   - reschedule_vector
   - call_function_vector
   - call_function_single_vector
   - irq_work_entry_vector
   - error_apic_vector
   - thermal_apic_vector
   - threshold_apic_vector
   - spurious_apic_vector
   - x86_platform_ipi_vector

Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
 - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
 - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
   _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
 - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
   macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
 - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
   This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
   - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
   - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
     is disabled.

In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
used for other purposes.

d78f266483 KVM: VMX: Register a new IPI for posted interrupt
Posted Interrupt feature requires a special IPI to deliver posted interrupt
to guest. And it should has a high priority so the interrupt will not be
blocked by others.
Normally, the posted interrupt will be consumed by vcpu if target vcpu is
running and transparent to OS. But in some cases, the interrupt will arrive
when target vcpu is scheduled out. And host will see it. So we need to
register a dump handler to handle it.

   - a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save

   - microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once

bc2b0331e0 X86: Handle Hyper-V vmbus interrupts as special hypervisor interrupts
Starting with win8, vmbus interrupts can be delivered on any VCPU in the guest
and furthermore can be concurrently active on multiple VCPUs. Support this
interrupt delivery model by setting up a separate IDT entry for Hyper-V vmbus.

Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>, for their help.

In this version of the patch, based on the feedback, I have merged the IDT
vector for Xen and Hyper-V and made the necessary adjustments. Furhermore,
based on Jan's feedback I have added the necessary compilation switches.
