Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework: - Initial implementation of the state machine - Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and not on some random processor - Replaces busy loop waiting with completions - Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed" More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email: "What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure? - Asymmetry The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism. - Largely undocumented dependencies While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities, we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to express dependencies without any documentation why. - Control processor driven Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps, like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot, there is no reason why everything else must run on a control processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu bring the rest up - All or nothing approach There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level synchronization with the freshly booted cpu. - Minimal debuggability Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested. - Notifier [un]registering is tedious To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to do it itself. That also includes error rollback. What's the new design? The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be stopped and reversed at almost all states. So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu bring itself up The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait. That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some other mechanism. The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well. There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct. The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it off completely. This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the core level. This includes the following: - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so ordering and prioritization can be expressed. - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in the state machine array. For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an explicit hotplug state. If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the previous state. - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step. This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme. - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying processor: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu wait for boot bring itself up Signal completion to control cpu In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code. This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme. I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and testable behaviour" * 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) cpu/hotplug: Document states better cpu/hotplug: Fix smpboot thread ordering cpu/hotplug: Remove redundant state check cpu/hotplug: Plug death reporting race rcu: Make CPU_DYING_IDLE an explicit call cpu/hotplug: Make wait for dead cpu completion based cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu bring itself fully up arch/hotplug: Call into idle with a proper state cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to hotplugged cpu cpu/hotplug: Create hotplug threads cpu/hotplug: Split out the state walk into functions cpu/hotplug: Unpark smpboot threads from the state machine cpu/hotplug: Move scheduler cpu_online notifier to hotplug core cpu/hotplug: Implement setup/removal interface cpu/hotplug: Make target state writeable cpu/hotplug: Add sysfs state interface cpu/hotplug: Hand in target state to _cpu_up/down cpu/hotplug: Convert the hotplugged cpu work to a state machine cpu/hotplug: Convert to a state machine for the control processor cpu/hotplug: Add tracepoints ...

(Namhyung Kim) perf mem: - Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri Olsa) perf record: - Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one can tell that all the events in the command line should be restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.: perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u is equivalent to: perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions - Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header: $ perf record usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ] $ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8 # CPU cache info: # L1 Data 32K [0-1] # L1 Instruction 32K [0-1] # L1 Data 32K [2-3] # L1 Instruction 32K [2-3] # L2 Unified 256K [0-1] # L2 Unified 256K [2-3] # L3 Unified 4096K [0-3] Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference. (Jiri Olsa) - Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian) perf script/trace: - Decode data_src values (e.g. perf.data files generated by 'perf mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa) # perf script perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in 'perf script' (Jiri Olsa) - Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running python or perl scripts (Taeung Song) perf stat: - 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in interval mode too. E.g: # perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1 # time counts unit events 1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle 1.000215928 752,003 cycles <SNIP> - Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar) - Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen) perf BPF support: - Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan) - Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan). # perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output_3.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 1000 # perf script usleep 4882 21384.532523: evt: ffffffff810e97d1 sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms]) BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20 Raise a 0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e BPF even 0010: 74 21 00 00 t!..

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's handling of read-only kernel memory: - extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory. This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified after that point. This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler. (by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.) - make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the Kconfig option.

When calculate_cpu_foreign_map() recalculates the cpu_foreign_map cpumask it uses the local variable temp_foreign_map without initialising it to zero. Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same core, even though the VPEs share primary caches. Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use.

The MIPS_GIC_IPI should only be selected when MIPS_GIC is also selected, otherwise it results in a compile error. smp-gic.c uses some functions from include/linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h like plat_ipi_call_int_xlate() which are only added to the header file when MIPS_GIC is set. The Lantiq SoC does not use the GIC, but supports SMP.

Some machines have EFI regions in page zero (physical address 0x00000000) and historically that region has been added to the e820 map via trim_bios_range(), and ultimately mapped into the kernel page tables. It was not mapped via efi_map_regions() as one would expect. Alexis reports that with the new separate EFI page tables some boot services regions, such as page zero, are not mapped. This triggers an oops during the SetVirtualAddressMap() runtime call. For the EFI boot services quirk on x86 we need to memblock_reserve() boot services regions until after SetVirtualAddressMap(). Doing that while respecting the ownership of regions that may have already been reserved by the kernel was the motivation behind this commit: 7d68dc3f ("x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved areas") That patch was merged at a time when the EFI runtime virtual mappings were inserted into the kernel page tables as described above, and the trick of setting ->numpages (and hence the region size) to zero to track regions that should not be freed in efi_free_boot_services() meant that we never mapped those regions in efi_map_regions(). Instead we were relying solely on the existing kernel mappings. Now that we have separate page tables we need to make sure the EFI boot services regions are mapped correctly, even if someone else has already called memblock_reserve(). Instead of stashing a tag in ->numpages, set the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME bit of ->attribute. Since it generally makes no sense to mark a boot services region as required at runtime, it's pretty much guaranteed the firmware will not have already set this bit. For the record, the specific circumstances under which Alexis triggered this bug was that an EFI runtime driver on his machine was responding to the EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE event during SetVirtualAddressMap(). The event handler for this driver looks like this, sub rsp,0x28 lea rdx,[rip+0x2445] # 0xaa948720 mov ecx,0x4 call func_aa9447c0 ; call to ConvertPointer(4, & 0xaa948720) mov r11,QWORD PTR [rip+0x2434] # 0xaa948720 xor eax,eax mov BYTE PTR [r11+0x1],0x1 add rsp,0x28 ret Which is pretty typical code for an EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE handler. The "mov r11, QWORD PTR [rip+0x2424]" was the faulting instruction because ConvertPointer() was being called to convert the address 0x0000000000000000, which when converted is left unchanged and remains 0x0000000000000000. The output of the oops trace gave the impression of a standard NULL pointer dereference bug, but because we're accessing physical addresses during ConvertPointer(), it wasn't. EFI boot services code is stored at that address on Alexis' machine.

i486 derived cores like Intel Quark support only the very old, legacy x87 FPU (FSAVE/FRSTOR, CPUID bit FXSR is not set), and our FPU code wasn't handling the saving and restoring there properly in the 'eagerfpu' case. So after we made eagerfpu the default for all CPU types: 58122bf1 x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs these old FPU designs broke. First, Andy Shevchenko reported a splat: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 823 at arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h:163 fpu__clear+0x8c/0x160 which was us trying to execute FXRSTOR on those machines even though they don't support it. After taking care of that, Bryan O'Donoghue reported that a simple FPU test still failed because we weren't initializing the FPU state properly on those machines. Take care of all that.
