For more than a decade, CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y has been enabled
in all the major Linux distributions:
/boot/config-6.11.0-19-generic:CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y
The reason is that while originally CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG started
out as a debugging feature, over the years (decades ...) it has
grown various bits of statistics, instrumentation and
control knobs that are useful for sysadmin and general software
development purposes as well.
But within the kernel we still pretend that there's a choice,
and sometimes code that is seemingly 'debug only' creates overhead
that should be optimized in reality.
So make it all official and make CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG unconditional.
Now that all uses of CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG are removed from
the code by previous patches, remove the Kconfig option as well.

The scheduler has this special SCHED_WARN() facility that
depends on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.
Since CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG is getting removed, convert
SCHED_WARN() to WARN_ON_ONCE().
Note that the warning output isn't 100% equivalent:
#define SCHED_WARN_ON(x) WARN_ONCE(x, #x)
Because SCHED_WARN_ON() would output the 'x' condition
as well, while WARN_ONCE() will only show a backtrace.
Hopefully these are rare enough to not really matter.
If it does, we should probably introduce a new WARN_ON()
variant that outputs the condition in stringified form,
or improve WARN_ON() itself.

Track whether pages were unmapped from any MM (even ones with a currently
empty mm_cpumask) by the reclaim code, to figure out whether or not
broadcast TLB flush should be done when reclaim finishes.
The reason any MM must be tracked, and not only ones contributing to the
tlbbatch cpumask, is that broadcast ASIDs are expected to be kept up to
date even on CPUs where the MM is not currently active.
This change allows reclaim to avoid doing TLB flushes when only clean page
cache pages and/or slab memory were reclaimed, which is fairly common.
( This is a simpler alternative to the code that was in my INVLPGB series
before, and it seems to capture most of the benefit due to how common
it is to reclaim only page cache. )

Architectural Perfmon was introduced on the Family 6 "Core" processors
starting with Yonah. Processors before Yonah need their own customized
PMU initialization.
p6_pmu_init() is expected to provide that initialization for early
Family 6 processors. But, currently, it could get called for any Family
6 processor if the architectural perfmon feature is disabled on that
processor. To simplify, restrict the P6 PMU initialization to early
Family 6 processors that do not have architectural perfmon support and
truly need the special handling.
As a result, the "unsupported" console print becomes practically
unreachable because all the released P6 processors are covered by the
switch cases. Move the console print to a common location where it can
cover all modern processors (including Family >15) that may not have
architectural perfmon support enumerated.
Also, use this opportunity to get rid of the unnecessary switch cases in
P6 initialization. Only the Pentium Pro processor needs a quirk, and the
rest of the processors do not need any special handling. The gaps in the
case numbers are only due to no processor with those model numbers being
released.
Use decimal numbers to represent Intel Family numbers. Also, convert one
of the last few Intel x86_model comparisons to a VFM-based one.

Previously with tegra-smmu, even with CONFIG_IOMMU_DMA, the default domain
could have been left as NULL. The NULL domain is specially recognized by
host1x_iommu_attach() as meaning it is not the DMA domain and
should be replaced with the special shared domain.
This happened prior to the below commit because tegra-smmu was using the
NULL domain to mean IDENTITY.
Now that the domain is properly labled the test in DRM doesn't see NULL.
Check for IDENTITY as well to enable the special domains.
This is the same issue and basic fix as seen in
commit fae6e669cdc5 ("drm/tegra: Do not assume that a NULL domain means no
DMA IOMMU").

cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() grabs the irq safe cgroup_rstat_lock while
iterating all possible cpus. It only drops the lock if there is
scheduler or spin lock contention. If neither, then interrupts can be
disabled for a long time. On large machines this can disable interrupts
for a long enough time to drop network packets. On 400+ CPU machines
I've seen interrupt disabled for over 40 msec.
Prevent rstat from disabling interrupts while processing all possible
cpus. Instead drop and reacquire cgroup_rstat_lock for each cpu. This
approach was previously discussed in
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZBz%2FV5a7%2F6PZeM7S@slm.duckdns.org/,
though this was in the context of an non-irq rstat spin lock.
Benchmark this change with:
1) a single stat_reader process with 400 threads, each reading a test
memcg's memory.stat repeatedly for 10 seconds.
2) 400 memory hog processes running in the test memcg and repeatedly
charging memory until oom killed. Then they repeat charging and oom
killing.
v6.14-rc6 with CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER with stat_reader and hogs, finds
interrupts are disabled by rstat for 45341 usec:
# => started at: _raw_spin_lock_irq
# => ended at: cgroup_rstat_flush

With this patch the CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER doesn't find rstat to be the
longest holder. The longest irqs-off holder has irqs disabled for
4142 usec, a huge reduction from previous 45341 usec rstat finding.
Running stat_reader memory.stat reader for 10 seconds:
- without memory hogs: 9.84M accesses => 12.7M accesses

When we currently create a pidfd we check that the task hasn't been
reaped right before we create the pidfd. But it is of course possible
that by the time we return the pidfd to userspace the task has already
been reaped since we don't check again after having created a dentry for
it.
This was fine until now because that race was meaningless. But now that
we provide PIDFD_INFO_EXIT it is a problem because it is possible that
the kernel returns a reaped pidfd and it depends on the race whether
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available. This depends on if the task
gets reaped before or after a dentry has been attached to struct pid.
Make this consistent and only returned pidfds for reaped tasks if
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available. This is done by performing
another check whether the task has been reaped right after we attached a
dentry to struct pid.
Since pidfs_exit() is called before struct pid's task linkage is removed
the case where the task got reaped but a dentry was already attached to
struct pid and exit information was recorded and published can be
handled correctly. In that case we do return a pidfd for a reaped task
like we would've before.

Eliminates a jump over a call to capable() in the common case.
By default the limit is not even set, in which case the check can't even
fail to begin with. It remains unset at least on Debian and Ubuntu.
For this cases this can probably become a static branch instead.
In the meantime tidy it up.
I note the check separate from the bump makes the entire thing racy.

Previously, iomap_readpage_iter() returning 0 would break out of the
loops of iomap_readahead_iter(), which is what iomap_read_inline_data()
relies on.
However, commit d9dc477ff6a2 ("iomap: advance the iter directly on
buffered read") changes this behavior without calling
iomap_iter_advance(), which causes EROFS to get stuck in
iomap_readpage_iter().
It seems iomap_iter_advance() cannot be called in
iomap_read_inline_data() because of the iomap_write_begin() path, so
handle this in iomap_readpage_iter() instead.

When mounting a user-space filesystem using io_uring, the initialization
of the rings is done separately in the server side. If for some reason
(e.g. a server bug) this step is not performed it will be impossible to
unmount the filesystem if there are already requests waiting.
This issue is easily reproduced with the libfuse passthrough_ll example,
if the queue depth is set to '0' and a request is queued before trying to
unmount the filesystem. When trying to force the unmount, fuse_abort_conn()
will try to wake up all tasks waiting in fc->blocked_waitq, but because the
rings were never initialized, fuse_uring_ready() will never return 'true'.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h>
and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some
missing underscores.

locking instructions
According to:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Size-of-an-asm.html
the usage of asm pseudo directives in the asm template can confuse
the compiler to wrongly estimate the size of the generated
code.
The LOCK_PREFIX macro expands to several asm pseudo directives, so
its usage in atomic locking insns causes instruction length estimates
to fail significantly (the specially instrumented compiler reports
the estimated length of these asm templates to be 6 instructions long).
This incorrect estimate further causes unoptimal inlining decisions,
un-optimal instruction scheduling and un-optimal code block alignments
for functions that use these locking primitives.
Use asm_inline instead:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2018-December/512349.html
which is a feature that makes GCC pretend some inline assembler code
is tiny (while it would think it is huge), instead of just asm.
For code size estimation, the size of the asm is then taken as
the minimum size of one instruction, ignoring how many instructions
compiler thinks it is.

c) full inline of small functions with locking insn (~150 cases).
These bring in most of the code size increase because the removed
function code is now inlined in multiple places. E.g.:
0000000000a50e10 <release_devnum>:
a50e10: 48 63 07 movslq (%rdi),%rax
a50e13: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax
a50e15: 7e 10 jle a50e27 <release_devnum+0x17>
a50e17: 48 8b 4f 50 mov 0x50(%rdi),%rcx
a50e1b: f0 48 0f b3 41 50 lock btr %rax,0x50(%rcx)
a50e21: c7 07 ff ff ff ff movl $0xffffffff,(%rdi)
a50e27: e9 00 00 00 00 jmp a50e2c <release_devnum+0x1c>
a50e28: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_return_thunk-0x4
a50e2c: 0f 1f 40 00 nopl 0x0(%rax)
is now fully inlined into the caller function. This is desirable due
to the per function overhead of CPU bug mitigations like retpolines.
FTR a) with -Os (where generated code size really matters) x86_64
defconfig object file decreases by 24.388 kbytes, representing 0.1%
code size decrease:

23883860 4617284 814212 29315356 1bf511c vmlinux-old.o
23859472 4615404 814212 29289088 1beea80 vmlinux-new.o
FTR b) clang recognizes "asm inline", but there was no difference in

Use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT to prevent inline asm() that includes call
instruction from being scheduled before the frame pointer gets set
up by the containing function. This unconstrained scheduling might
cause objtool to print a "call without frame pointer save/setup"
warning. Current versions of compilers don't seem to trigger this
condition, but without this constraint there's nothing to prevent
the compiler from scheduling the insn in front of frame creation.

Clang versions before 17 will not honour -fdirect-access-external-data
for the load of the stack cookie emitted into each function's prologue
and epilogue, and will emit a GOT based reference instead, e.g.,
4c 8b 2d 00 00 00 00 mov 0x0(%rip),%r13
18a: R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX __ref_stack_chk_guard-0x4
65 49 8b 45 00 mov %gs:0x0(%r13),%rax
This is inefficient, but at least, the linker will usually follow the
rules of the x86 psABI, and relax the GOT load into a RIP-relative LEA
instruction. This is still suboptimal, as the per-CPU load could use a
RIP-relative reference directly, but at least it gets rid of the first
load from memory.
However, Boris reports that in some cases, when using distro builds of
Clang/LLD 15, the first load gets relaxed into
49 c7 c6 20 c0 55 86 mov $0xffffffff8655c020,%r14
ffffffff8373bf0f: R_X86_64_32S __ref_stack_chk_guard
65 49 8b 06 mov %gs:(%r14),%rax
instead, which is fine in principle, as MOV may be cheaper than LEA on
some micro-architectures. However, such absolute references assume that
the variable in question can be accessed via the kernel virtual mapping,
and this is not guaranteed for the startup code residing in .head.text.
This is therefore a true positive, that was caught using the recently
introduced relocs check for absolute references in the startup code:
Absolute reference to symbol '__ref_stack_chk_guard' not permitted in .head.text
Work around the issue by disabling the stack protector in the startup
code for Clang versions older than 17.

X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC is a Linux-defined, synthesized feature flag.
It is used across several vendors. Intel CPUs will set the feature when
the architectural CPUID.80000007.EDX[1] bit is set. There are also some
Intel CPUs that have the X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC behavior but don't
enumerate it with the architectural bit. Those currently have a model
range check.
Today, virtually all of the CPUs that have the CPUID bit *also* match
the "model >= 0x0e" check. This is confusing. Instead of an open-ended
check, pick some models (INTEL_IVYBRIDGE and P4_WILLAMETTE) as the end
of goofy CPUs that should enumerate the bit but don't. These models are
relatively arbitrary but conservative pick for this.
This makes it obvious that later CPUs (like Family 18+) no longer need
to synthesize X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC.

X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD is a linux defined feature flag to track whether
fast string operations should be used for copy_page(). It is also used
as a second alternative for clear_page() if enhanced fast string
operations (ERMS) are not available.
X86_FEATURE_ERMS is an Intel-specific hardware-defined feature flag that
tracks hardware support for Enhanced Fast strings. It is used to track
whether Fast strings should be used for similar memory copy and memory
clearing operations.
On top of these, there is a FAST_STRING enable bit in the
IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR. It is typically controlled by the BIOS to provide
a hint to the hardware and the OS on whether fast string operations are
preferred.
Commit:
161ec53c702c ("x86, mem, intel: Initialize Enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB")
introduced a mechanism to honor the BIOS preference for fast string
operations and clear the above feature flags if needed.
Unfortunately, the current initialization code for Intel to set and
clear these bits is confusing at best and likely incorrect.
X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD is cleared in early_init_intel() if
MISC_ENABLE.FAST_STRING is 0. But it gets set later on unconditionally
for all Family 6 processors in init_intel(). This not only overrides the
BIOS preference but also contradicts the earlier check.
Fix this by combining the related checks and always relying on the BIOS
provided preference for fast string operations. This simplification
makes sure the upcoming Intel Family 18 and 19 models are covered as
well.

Some old crusty CPUs need an extra delay that slows down booting. See
the comment above 'init_udelay' for details. Newer CPUs don't need the
delay.
Right now, for Intel, Family 6 and only Family 6 skips the delay. That
leaves out both the Family 15 (Pentium 4s) and brand new Family 18/19
models.
The omission of Family 15 (Pentium 4s) seems like an oversight and 18/19
do not need the delay.
Skip the delay on all Intel processors Family 6 and beyond.

Very old multiprocessor systems required a 10 msec delay between
asserting and de-asserting INIT but modern processors do not require
this delay.
Over time the usage of the "quirk" wording while setting the INIT delay
has become misleading. The code comments suggest that modern processors
need to be quirked, which clears the default init_udelay of 10 msec,
while legacy processors don't need the quirk and continue to use the
default init_udelay.
With a lot more modern processors, the wording should be inverted if at
all needed. Instead, simplify the comments and the code by getting rid
of "quirk" usage altogether and clarifying the following:
- Old legacy processors -> Set the "legacy" 10 msec delay
- Modern processors -> Do not set any delay
No functional change.

- 3e2ada5867b7 ("ACPI: fix Compaq Evo N800c (Pentium 4m) boot hang regression")
removed the P4 - Family 15.
- 03a05ed11529 ("ACPI: Use the ARB_DISABLE for the CPU which model id is less than 0x0f.")
got rid of CORE_YONAH - Family 6, model E.

Introduce names for some Family 5 models and convert some of the checks
to be VFM based.
Also, to keep the file sorted by family, move Family 5 to the top of the
header file.

The Family model check to read the processor flag MSR is misleading and
potentially incorrect. It doesn't consider Family while comparing the
model number. The original check did have a Family number but it got
lost/moved during refactoring.
intel_collect_cpu_info() is called through multiple paths such as early
initialization, CPU hotplug as well as IFS image load. Some of these
flows would be error prone due to the ambiguous check.
Correct the processor flag scan check to use a Family number and update
it to a VFM based one to make it more readable.

The alignment preference for 32-bit MOVSL based bulk memory move has
been 8-byte for a long time. However this preference is only set for
Family 6 and 15 processors.
Use the same preference for upcoming Family numbers 18 and 19. Also, use
a simpler VFM based check instead of switching based on Family numbers.
Refresh the comment to reflect the new check.

APIC detection is currently limited to a few specific Families and will
not match the upcoming Families >=18.
Extend the check to include all Families 6 or greater. Also convert it
to a VFM check to make it simpler.

Use u32 instead of uint32_t in hypervisor_cpuid_base().
Yes, uint32_t is used in Xen code et al, but this is a core x86
architecture header and we should standardize on the type that
is being used overwhelmingly in related x86 architecture code.
The two types are the same so there should be no build warnings.
