As the actual pointer value is the same for the thread stack allocation
and the thread_info, code that confused the two worked fine, but will
break when the thread info is moved away from the stack allocation. It
also looks very confusing.
For example, the kprobe code wanted to know the current top of stack.
To do that, it used this:
(unsigned long)current_thread_info() + THREAD_SIZE
which did indeed give the correct value. But it's not only a fairly
nonsensical expression, it's also rather complex, especially since we
actually have this:
static inline unsigned long current_top_of_stack(void)
which not only gives us the value we are interested in, but happens to
be how "current_thread_info()" is currently defined as:
(struct thread_info *)(current_top_of_stack() - THREAD_SIZE);
so using current_thread_info() to figure out the top of the stack really
is a very round-about thing to do.
The other cases are just simpler confusion about task_thread_info() vs
task_stack_page(), which currently return the same pointer - but if you
want the stack page, you really should be using the latter one.
And there was one entirely unused assignment of the current stack to a
thread_info pointer.
All cleaned up to make more sense today, and make it easier to move the
thread_info away from the stack in the future.
No semantic changes.

None of the code actually wants a thread_info, it all wants a
task_struct, and it's just converting to a thread_info pointer much too
early.

Refer initrd_start, initrd_end directly from drivers/acpi/tables.c.
This allows to use the table upgrade feature in architectures
other than x86. Also this simplifies header files.
The patch renames acpi_table_initrd_init() to acpi_table_upgrade()
(what reflects the purpose of the function) and removes the unneeded
wraps early_acpi_table_init() and early_initrd_acpi_init().

compacted format is in use
XSAVES is a kernel instruction and uses a compacted format. When working
with user space, the kernel should provide standard-format, non-supervisor
state data. We cannot do __copy_to_user() from a compacted-format kernel
xstate area to a signal frame.
Dave Hansen proposes this method to simplify copy xstate directly to user.
This patch is based on an earlier patch from Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>

optimization
Keep init_fpstate.xsave.header.xfeatures as zero for init optimization.
This is important for init optimization that is implemented in processor.
If a bit corresponding to an xstate in xstate_bv is 0, it means the
xstate is in init status and will not be read from memory to the processor
during XRSTOR/XRSTORS instruction. This largely impacts context switch
performance.

distinguish it from 'fpu_user_xstate_size'
User space uses standard format xsave area. fpstate in signal frame
should have standard format size.
To explicitly distinguish between xstate size in kernel space and the
one in user space, we rename 'xstate_size' to 'fpu_kernel_xstate_size'.
Cleanup only, no change in functionality.

The kernel xstate area can be in standard or compacted format;
it is always in standard format for user mode. When XSAVES is
enabled, the kernel uses the compacted format and it is necessary
to use a separate fpu_user_xstate_size for signal/ptrace frames.

There were at least 3 features added to the __SI_FAULT area of the
siginfo struct that did not make it to the compat siginfo:
1. The si_addr_lsb used in SIGBUS's sent for machine checks
2. The upper/lower bounds for MPX SIGSEGV faults
3. The protection key for pkey faults
There was also some turmoil when I was attempting to add the pkey
field because it needs to be a fixed size on 32 and 64-bit and
not have any alignment constraints.
This patch adds some compile-time checks to the compat code to
make it harder to screw this up. Basically, the checks are
supposed to trip any time someone changes the siginfo structure.
That sounds bad, but it's what we want. If someone changes
siginfo, we want them to also be _forced_ to go look at the
compat code.
The details are in the comments.

The 32-bit siginfo is a different binary format than the 64-bit
one. So, when running 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels, we have
to convert the kernel's 64-bit version to a 32-bit version that
userspace can grok.
We've added a few features to siginfo over the past few years and
neglected to add them to arch/x86/kernel/signal_compat.c:
1. The si_addr_lsb used in SIGBUS's sent for machine checks
2. The upper/lower bounds for MPX SIGSEGV faults
3. The protection key for pkey faults
I caught this with some protection keys unit tests and realized
it affected a few more features.
This was tested only with my protection keys patch that looks
for a proper value in si_pkey. I didn't actually test the machine
check or MPX code.

Fix kprobe_fault_handler() to clear the TF (trap flag) bit of
the flags register in the case of a fault fixup on single-stepping.
If we put a kprobe on the instruction which caused a
page fault (e.g. actual mov instructions in copy_user_*),
that fault happens on the single-stepping buffer. In this
case, kprobes resets running instance so that the CPU can
retry execution on the original ip address.
However, current code forgets to reset the TF bit. Since this
fault happens with TF bit set for enabling single-stepping,
when it retries, it causes a debug exception and kprobes
can not handle it because it already reset itself.
On the most of x86-64 platform, it can be easily reproduced
by using kprobe tracer. E.g.
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo p copy_user_enhanced_fast_string+5 > kprobe_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
And you'll see a kernel panic on do_debug(), since the debug
trap is not handled by kprobes.
To fix this problem, we just need to clear the TF bit when
resetting running kprobe.

The NMI watchdog uses either the fixed cycles or a generic cycles
counter. This causes a lot of conflicts with users of the PMU who want
to run a full group including the cycles fixed counter, for example
the --topdown support recently added to perf stat. The code needs to
fall back to not use groups, which can cause measurement inaccuracy
due to multiplexing errors.
This patch switches the NMI watchdog to use reference cycles
on Intel systems. This is actually more accurate than cycles,
because cycles can tick faster than the measured CPU Frequency
due to Turbo mode.
The ref cycles always tick at their frequency, or slower when
the system is idling. That means the NMI watchdog can never
expire too early, unlike with cycles.
The reference cycles tick roughly at the frequency of the TSC,
so the same period computation can be used.

Sometimes, after CPU hotplug you can observe a spike in stolen time
(100%) followed by the CPU being marked as 100% idle when it's actually
busy with a CPU hog task. The trace looks like the following:
cpuhp/1-12 [001] d.h1 167.461657: account_process_tick: steal = 1291385514, prev_steal_time = 0
cpuhp/1-12 [001] d.h1 167.461659: account_process_tick: steal_jiffies = 1291
<idle>-0 [001] d.h1 167.462663: account_process_tick: steal = 18732255, prev_steal_time = 1291000000
<idle>-0 [001] d.h1 167.462664: account_process_tick: steal_jiffies = 18446744072437
The sudden decrease of "steal" causes steal_jiffies to underflow.
The root cause is kvm_steal_time being reset to 0 after hot-plugging
back in a CPU. Instead, the preexisting value can be used, which is
what the core scheduler code expects.
John Stultz also reported a similar issue after guest S3.

On large systems the microcode driver is very noisy, because it prints a
line for each CPU. The lines are redundant because usually all CPUs are
updated to the same microcode revision.
All other subsystems have been patched previously to not print a line
for each CPU. Only the microcode driver is left.
Only print an microcode revision update when something changed. This
results in typically only a single line being printed.

BIOS can report a memory error to Linux using ACPI/APEI mechanism. When
it does this, we create a fictitious machine check error record and
feed it into the standard mce_log() function. The error record needs a
machine check bank number, and for some reason we chose "1" for this.
But "1" is a valid bank number, and this causes confusion and heartburn
among h/w folks who are concerned that a memory error signature was
somehow logged in bank 1.
Change to use "-1" (field is a "u8" so will typically print as 255).
This should make it clearer that this error did not originate in a
machine check bank.

On a 4-socket Brickland system, hot-removing one ioapic is fine.
Hot-removing the 2nd one causes panic in mp_unregister_ioapic()
while calling release_resource().
It is because the iomem_res pointer has already been released
when removing the first ioapic.
To explain the use of &res[num] here: res is assigned to ioapic_resources,
and later in ioapic_insert_resources() we do:
struct resource *r = ioapic_resources;
for_each_ioapic(i) {
insert_resource(&iomem_resource, r);
r++;
}
Here 'r' is treated as an arry of 'struct resource', and the r++ ensures
that each element of the array is inserted separately. Thus we should call
release_resouce() on each element at &res[num].
Fix it by assigning the correct pointers to ioapics[i].iomem_res in
ioapic_setup_resources().

Forcing in_interrupt() to return true if we're not in a bona fide
interrupt confuses the softirq code. This fixes warnings like:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 282
... which can happen when running things like selftests/x86.
This will change perf's static percpu buffer usage in IST context.
I think this is okay, and it's changing the behavior to match
historical (pre-4.0) behavior.

Add asm versions for __sw_hweight{32,64}() and do explicit saving and
restoring of clobbered registers. This gets rid of the special calling
convention. We get to call those functions on !X86_FEATURE_POPCNT CPUs.
We still need to hardcode POPCNT and register operands as some old gas
versions which we support, do not know about POPCNT.
Btw, remove redundant REX prefix from 32-bit POPCNT because alternatives
can do padding now.

I've been carrying this patch around for a bit and it's helped me
solve at least a couple FPU-related bugs. In addition to using
it for debugging, I also drug it out because using AVX (and
AVX2/AVX-512) can have serious power consequences for a modern
core. It's very important to be able to figure out who is using
it.
It's also insanely useful to go out and see who is using a given
feature, like MPX or Memory Protection Keys. If you, for
instance, want to find all processes using protection keys, you
can do:
echo 'xfeatures & 0x200' > filter
Since 0x200 is the protection keys feature bit.
Note that this touches the KVM code. KVM did a CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
and then included a bunch of random headers. If anyone one of
those included other tracepoints, it would have defined the *OTHER*
tracepoints. That's bogus, so move it to the right place.

Usually, after we have found the proper microcode blob for the current
machine, we stash it away for later use with save_microcode_in_initrd().
However, with builtin microcode which doesn't come from the initrd, we
don't call that function because CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=n and even if
set, we don't have a valid initrd.
In order to fix this, let's make save_microcode_in_initrd() an
fs_initcall which runs before rootfs_initcall() as this was the time it
was called previously through:
rootfs_initcall(populate_rootfs)
|-> free_initrd()
|-> free_initrd_mem()
|-> save_microcode_in_initrd()
Also, we make it run independently from initrd functionality being
present or not.
And since it is called in the microcode loader only now, we can also
make it static.

So it can happen that even with builtin microcode,
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y gets forgotten enabled.
Or, even with that disabled, an initrd image gets supplied by the boot
loader, by omission or is simply forgotten there. And since we do look
at boot_params.hdr.ramdisk_* to know whether we have received an initrd,
we might get puzzled.
So let's just make the loader look for builtin microcode first and if
found, ignore the ramdisk image.
If no builtin found, it falls back to scanning the supplied initrd, of
course.
For that, we move all the initrd scanning in a separate
__scan_microcode_initrd() function and fall back to it only if
load_builtin_intel_microcode() has failed.

the side-effect of unconditionally enabling the RTC_LIB symbol on x86,
which in turn disables the selection of the CONFIG_RTC and
CONFIG_GEN_RTC drivers that contain a two older implementations of
the CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS driver.
This removes x86 from the list for genrtc, and changes all references

For SMT specific workarounds it is useful to know if SMT is active
on any online CPU in the system. This currently requires a loop
over all online CPUs.
Add a global variable that is updated with the maximum number
of smt threads on any CPU on online/offline, and use it for
topology_max_smt_threads()
The single call is easier to use than a loop.
Not exported to user space because user space already can use
the existing sibling interfaces to find this out.

- I forgot that I had another selftest to stress test the ftrace

merge window, but I never committed it. I almost forgot about it
again, but noticed it was missing from your tree.
- Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when
taking the tasklist_lock for read, as it's unnecessary because that
lock is never taken for write in irq context.
- Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the
global ftrace_stub label to be a short jump instead of a long one.
As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to
do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump
it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that
call). One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to
declare the ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to
keep gcc from optimizing too much"

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.
The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").
The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).
Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers. These are not easy to avoid.
This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.
The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.
__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.
We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.
The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.
The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI
handling there first. Let's do it separately.
The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

Matt Fleming reported seeing crashes when enabling and disabling
function profiling which uses function graph tracer. Later Namhyung Kim
hit a similar issue and he found that the issue was due to the jmp to
ftrace_stub in ftrace_graph_call was only two bytes, and when it was
changed to jump to the tracing code, it overwrote the ftrace_stub that
was after it.
Masami Hiramatsu bisected this down to a binutils change:
8dcea93252a9ea7dff57e85220a719e2a5e8ab41 is the first bad commit

Add -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler
This patch adds -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler. By default,
assembler will optimize out non-PLT relocations against defined non-weak
global branch targets with default visibility. The -mshared option tells
the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library
where all non-weak global branch targets with default visibility can
be preempted. The resulting code is slightly bigger. This option
only affects the handling of branch instructions.
Declaring ftrace_stub as a weak call prevents gas from using two byte
jumps to it, which would be converted to a jump to the function graph
code.

The GSBASE upper limit exists to prevent user code from confusing
the paranoid idtentry path. The FSBASE upper limit is just for
consistency. There's no need to enforce a smaller limit for 32-bit
tasks.
Just use TASK_SIZE_MAX. This simplifies the logic and will save a
few bytes of code.

This erratum essentially causes the CPU to forget which privilege
level it is operating on (kernel vs. user) for the purposes of MPX.
This erratum can only be triggered when a system is not using
Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP). Our workaround for
the erratum is to ensure that MPX can only be used in cases where
SMEP is present in the processor and is enabled.
This erratum only affects Core processors. Atom is unaffected.
But, there is no architectural way to determine Atom vs. Core.
So, we just apply this workaround to all processors. It's
possible that it will mistakenly disable MPX on some Atom
processsors or future unaffected Core processors. There are
currently no processors that have MPX and not SMEP. It would
take something akin to a hypervisor masking SMEP out on an Atom
processor for this to present itself on current hardware.

SKD046 Branch Instructions May Initialize MPX Bound Registers Incorrectly
Problem:
Depending on the current Intel MPX (Memory Protection
Extensions) configuration, execution of certain branch
instructions (near CALL, near RET, near JMP, and Jcc
instructions) without a BND prefix (F2H) initialize the MPX bound
registers. Due to this erratum, such a branch instruction that is
executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3 may not use the
correct MPX configuration register (BNDCFGU or BNDCFGS,
respectively) for determining whether to initialize the bound
registers; it may thus initialize the bound registers when it
should not, or fail to initialize them when it should.
Implication:
A branch instruction that has executed both in user mode and in
supervisor mode (from the same linear address) may cause a #BR
(bound range fault) when it should not have or may not cause a
#BR when it should have. Workaround An operating system can
avoid this erratum by setting CR4.SMEP[bit 20] to enable
supervisor-mode execution prevention (SMEP). When SMEP is
enabled, no code can be executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3.
