Pull perparatory x86 kasrl changes from Ingo Molnar:
"This contains changes from the ongoing KASLR work, by Kees Cook.
The main changes are the use of a read-only IDT on x86 (which
decouples the userspace visible virtual IDT address from the physical
address), and a rework of ELF relocation support, in preparation of
random, boot-time kernel image relocation."
* 'x86-kaslr-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86, relocs: Refactor the relocs tool to merge 32- and 64-bit ELF
x86, relocs: Build separate 32/64-bit tools
x86, relocs: Add 64-bit ELF support to relocs tool
x86, relocs: Consolidate processing logic
x86, relocs: Generalize ELF structure names
x86: Use a read-only IDT alias on all CPUs
Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only.
This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory
write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel
base offset, if it has been relocated.
We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the
F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or
not. Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to
be very specific. This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs,
but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver
the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5
processors.

On some new Intel Atom processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is
a feature that the TSC won't stop in S3 state, say the TSC value
won't be reset to 0 after resume. This feature makes TSC a more reliable
clocksource and could benefit the timekeeping code during system
suspend/resume cycle, so add a flag for it.

When I made an attempt at separating __pa_symbol and __pa I found that there
were a number of cases where __pa was used on an obvious symbol.
I also caught one non-obvious case as _brk_start and _brk_end are based on the
address of __brk_base which is a C visible symbol.
In mark_rodata_ro I was able to reduce the overhead of kernel symbol to
virtual memory translation by using a combination of __va(__pa_symbol())
instead of page_address(virt_to_page()).

For 4KB pages, x86 CPU has 2 or 1 level TLB, first level is data TLB and
instruction TLB, second level is shared TLB for both data and instructions.
For hupe page TLB, usually there is just one level and seperated by 2MB/4MB
and 1GB.
Although each levels TLB size is important for performance tuning, but for
genernal and rude optimizing, last level TLB entry number is suitable. And
in fact, last level TLB always has the biggest entry number.
This patch will get the biggest TLB entry number and use it in furture TLB
optimizing.
Accroding Borislav's suggestion, except tlb_ll[i/d]_* array, other
function and data will be released after system boot up.

Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the
!SMP case, likely to save space. However, those fields still
have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef
removal from other files. The additional size of the UP kernel
from this change is not significant enough to worry about
keeping up the distinction:
text data bss dec hex filename
4737168 506459 972040 6215667 5ed7f3 vmlinux.o.before
4737444 506459 972040 6215943 5ed907 vmlinux.o.after
for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.
If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should
be implemented in a cleaner way.

I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode
update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode"
field to /proc/cpuinfo.
The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks
together with the other CPUID model information.
I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver,
it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode
is updated it fills in the new values too.
I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it
being optimized away when the result is not used.
This turns out to clean up further code which already got this
information manually. This is done in followon patches.

Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0d2), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo,
Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7b4), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has
been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS.
However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably
because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems...
Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8).
As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its
default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users
care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency.
While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default
operating point is "normal" mode...
Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot.
x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot,
should the user have a different preference.

Unlike 64bit, 32bit has been using its own cpu_to_node_map[] for
CPU -> NUMA node mapping. Replace it with early_percpu variable
x86_cpu_to_node_map and share the mapping code with 64bit.
* USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID is now enabled for 32bit too.
* x86_cpu_to_node_map and numa_set/clear_node() are moved from
numa_64 to numa. For now, on 32bit, x86_cpu_to_node_map is initialized
with 0 instead of NUMA_NO_NODE. This is to avoid introducing unexpected
behavior change and will be updated once init path is unified.
* srat_detect_node() is now enabled for x86_32 too. It calls
numa_set_node() and initializes the mapping making explicit
cpu_to_node_map[] updates from map/unmap_cpu_to_node() unnecessary.

The mapping between cpu/apicid and node is done via
apicid_to_node[] on 64bit and apicid_2_node[] +
apic->x86_32_numa_cpu_node() on 32bit. This difference makes it
difficult to further unify 32 and 64bit NUMA handling.
This patch unifies it by replacing both apicid_to_node[] and
apicid_2_node[] with __apicid_to_node[] array, which is accessed
by two accessors - set_apicid_to_node() and numa_cpu_node(). On
64bit, numa_cpu_node() always consults __apicid_to_node[]
directly while 32bit goes through apic->numa_cpu_node() method
to allow apic implementations to override it.
srat_detect_node() for amd cpus contains workaround for broken
NUMA configuration which assumes relationship between APIC ID,
HT node ID and NUMA topology. Leave it to access
__apicid_to_node[] directly as mapping through CPU might result
in undesirable behavior change. The comment is reformatted and
updated to note the ugliness.

commit d9c2d5ac6a "x86, numa: Use near(er)
online node instead of roundrobin for NUMA" changed NUMA initialization on
Intel to choose the nearest online node or first node. Fake NUMA would be
better of with round-robin initialization, instead of the all CPUS on
first node. Change the choice of first node, back to round-robin.
For testing NUMA kernel behaviour without cpusets and NUMA aware
applications, it would be better to have cpus in different nodes, rather
than all in a single node. With cpusets migration of tasks scenarios
cannot not be tested.
I guess having it round-robin shouldn't affect the use cases for all cpus
on the first node.
The code comments in arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c:759 indicate that this used to
be the case, which was changed by commit d9c2d5ac6. It changed from
roundrobin to nearer or first node. And I couldn't find any reason for

Atom erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41:
"If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page
directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this
PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB
entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then
it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by
either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page
translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from
incorrect addresses."
[http://download.intel.com/design/processor/specupdt/319536.pdf]
Where as commit 211b3d03c7 seems to
workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in

as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.
Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.
So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()

On UV systems, the TSC is not synchronized across blades. The
sched_clock_cpu() function is returning values that can go
backwards (I've seen as much as 8 seconds) when switching
between cpus.
As each cpu comes up, early_init_intel() will currently set the
sched_clock_stable flag true. When mark_tsc_unstable() runs, it
clears the flag, but this only occurs once (the first time a cpu
comes up whose TSC is not synchronized with cpu 0). After this,
early_init_intel() will set the flag again as the next cpu comes
up.
Only set sched_clock_stable if tsc has not been marked unstable.

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.
So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.
This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.

When there are a large number of processors in a system, there
is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console.
It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the
console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take
about 84 minutes to clear the serial port.
This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages
which contain no additional information. Much of this information
is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs. Some of the messages
are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so
dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to
a problem.

Booting Node 3, Processors #56#57#58#59#60#61#62#63 Ok.
Brought up 64 CPUs
After the system is running, a single line boot message is displayed
when CPU's are hotplugged on:
Booting Node %d Processor %d APIC 0x%x
Status of the following lines:
CPU: Physical Processor ID: printed once (for boot cpu)
CPU: Processor Core ID: printed once (for boot cpu)
CPU: Hyper-Threading is disabled printed once (for boot cpu)
CPU: Thermal monitoring enabled printed once (for boot cpu)
CPU %d/0x%x -> Node %d: removed
CPU %d is now offline: only if system_state == RUNNING

CPU to node mapping is set via the following sequence:
1. numa_init_array(): Set up roundrobin from cpu to online node
2. init_cpu_to_node(): Set that according to apicid_to_node[]
according to srat only handle the node that
is online, and leave other cpu on node
without ram (aka not online) to still
roundrobin.
3. later call srat_detect_node for Intel/AMD, will use first_online
node or nearby node.
Problem is that setup_per_cpu_areas() is not called between 2 and 3,
the per_cpu for cpu on node with ram is on different node, and could
put that on node with two hops away.
So try to optimize this and add find_near_online_node() and call
init_cpu_to_node().

Move the APERFMPERF capacility into a X86_FEATURE flag so that it
can be used outside of the acpi cpufreq driver.

No code changes except printk levels (although some of the K6
mtrr code might be clearer if there were a few as would
splitting out some of the intel cache code).

The hooks that we modify are:
- Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
- Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
the instruction that caused the page fault)
Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is
enabled.
(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
handler.)
As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable
the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation
in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

Impact: 32/64-bit consolidation
In a first step, this allows fixing phys_addr_valid() for PAE (which
until now reported all addresses to be valid). Subsequently, this will
also allow simplifying some MTRR handling code.

Impact: debuggability and micro-optimization
Putting whatever is possible into the (final) .rodata section increases
the likelihood of catching memory corruption bugs early, and reduces
false cache line sharing.

Impact: cleanup and code size reduction on 64-bit
This code is only applied to Intel Pentium and AMD K7 32-bit cpus.
Move those checks to intel_init()/amd_init() for 32-bit
so 64-bit will not build this code.
Also change to use cpu_index check to see if we need to emit warning.

If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
(We will turn this off in DMI quirks for multi-chassis systems)
The performance number on a 16-way Nehalem system running
32 tasks that context-switch between each other is significant:
sched_clock_stable=0 sched_clock_stable=1
.................... ....................
22.456925 million/sec 24.306972 million/sec [+8.2%]
lmbench's "lat_ctx -s 0 2" goes from 0.63 microseconds to
0.59 microseconds - a 6.7% increase in context-switching
performance.
Perfstat of 1 million pipe context switches between two tasks:

The speedup comes straight from the reduction in the instruction
count. sched_clock_cpu() got simpler and the whole workload thus
executes faster.
