Ingo Molnar 630e1e0bcd Merge branch 'rcu/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu
Conflicts:
	arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c

Pull the latest RCU tree from Paul E. McKenney:

"       The major features of this series are:

  1.	A first version of no-callbacks CPUs.  This version prohibits
  	offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
  	Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready
  	for prime time.  These commits were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724, and are at branch rcu/nocb.

  2.	Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct
  	structures.  These commits were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296, and are at branch rcu/srcu.

  3.	Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output.  These commits were posted
  	to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341, and are at
  	branch rcu/tracing.

  4.	Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327, and are at branch rcu/hotplug.
  	Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to
  	be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9.

  5.	Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module
  	parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to
  	their expedited equivalents.  These were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739, and are at branch rcu/idle.

  6.	Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility,
  	posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315, and
  	are at branch rcu/stall.  The most notable change reduces the
  	default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds,
  	so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout.

  7.	Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280, and are at branch rcu/doc.
  	A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/634 and
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/547.

  8.	Miscellaneous fixes, which were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/309, along with a late-breaking
  	change posted at Fri, 16 Nov 2012 11:26:25 -0800 with message-ID
  	<20121116192625.GA447@linux.vnet.ibm.com>, but which lkml.org
  	seems to have missed.  These are at branch rcu/fixes.

  9.	Finally, a fix for an lockdep-RCU splat was posted to LKML
  	at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/7/486.  This is at rcu/next. "

Frederic Weisbecker 91d1aa43d3 context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem
Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.

We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

Frederic Weisbecker edf55fda35 x86: Exit RCU extended QS on notify resume
do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception
exit. But at that time the exception has already called
rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit().

Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call
rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call
back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are
going to userspace from there.

This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state
in x86-64.

H. Peter Anvin 5e88353d8b x86, smap: Reduce the SMAP overhead for signal handling
Signal handling contains a bunch of accesses to individual user space
items, which causes an excessive number of STAC and CLAC
instructions.  Instead, let get/put_user_try ... get/put_user_catch()
contain the STAC and CLAC instructions.

This means that get/put_user_try no longer nests, and furthermore that
it is no longer legal to use user space access functions other than
__get/put_user_ex() inside those blocks.  However, these macros are
x86-specific anyway and are only used in the signal-handling paths; a
simple reordering of moving the larger subroutine calls out of the
try...catch blocks resolves that problem.

Suresh Siddha 72a671ced6 x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels
Currently for x86 and x86_32 binaries, fpstate in the user sigframe is copied
to/from the fpstate in the task struct.

And in the case of signal delivery for x86_64 binaries, if the fpstate is live
in the CPU registers, then the live state is copied directly to the user
sigframe. Otherwise  fpstate in the task struct is copied to the user sigframe.
During restore, fpstate in the user sigframe is restored directly to the live
CPU registers.

Historically, different code paths led to different bugs. For example,
x86_64 code path was not preemption safe till recently. Also there is lot
of code duplication for support of new features like xsave etc.

Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels.

New strategy is as follows:

Signal delivery: Both for 32/64-bit frames, align the core math frame area to
64bytes as needed by xsave (this where the main fpu/extended state gets copied
to and excludes the legacy compatibility fsave header for the 32-bit [f]xsave
frames). If the state is live, copy the register state directly to the user
frame. If not live, copy the state in the thread struct to the user frame. And
for 32-bit [f]xsave frames, construct the fsave header separately before
the actual [f]xsave area.

Signal return: As the 32-bit frames with [f]xstate has an additional
'fsave' header, copy everything back from the user sigframe to the
fpstate in the task structure and reconstruct the fxstate from the 'fsave'
header (Also user passed pointers may not be correctly aligned for
any attempt to directly restore any partial state). At the next fpstate usage,
everything will be restored to the live CPU registers.
For all the 64-bit frames and the 32-bit fsave frame, restore the state from
the user sigframe directly to the live CPU registers. 64-bit signals always
restored the math frame directly, so we can expect the math frame pointer
to be correctly aligned. For 32-bit fsave frames, there are no alignment
requirements, so we can restore the state directly.

"lat_sig catch" microbenchmark numbers (for x86, x86_64, x86_32 binaries) are
with in the noise range with this change.

Al Viro 44fbbb3dc6 x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel mode
If we end up calling do_notify_resume() with !user_mode(refs), it
does nothing (do_signal() explicitly bails out and we can't get there
with TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in such situations).  Then we jump to
resume_userspace_sig, which rechecks the same thing and bails out
to resume_kernel, thus breaking the loop.

It's easier and cheaper to check *before* calling do_notify_resume()
and bail out to resume_kernel immediately.  And kill the check in
do_signal()...

Note that on amd64 we can't get there with !user_mode() at all - asm
glue takes care of that.

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler();  called when
sigframe has been successfully built.  All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

Linus Torvalds 654443e20d Merge branch 'perf-uprobes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
 "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
  in Fedora and RHEL kernels.  This version is much rewritten, reviews
  from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

  This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

  Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
  calls without modifying user-space binaries.

  First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.

  If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
  from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
  within libc (binaries can be specified as well):

	$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6

  To probe libc's malloc():

	$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
	Added new event:
	probe_libc:malloc    (on 0x7eac0)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
  look very boring):

	$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make

  The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
  points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
  libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
  that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
  vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content.  The probe points are
  kept in an rbtree.

  If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
  then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
  perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.

  Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
  dynamic callback list of event consumers.

  The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
  original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
  specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
  The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
  entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).

  The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
  align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
  to it.

  Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
  by setting perf_paranoid to -1.

  You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
  regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Srikar Dronamraju 0326f5a94d uprobes/core: Handle breakpoint and singlestep exceptions
Uprobes uses exception notifiers to get to know if a thread hit
a breakpoint or a singlestep exception.

When a thread hits a uprobe or is singlestepping post a uprobe
hit, the uprobe exception notifier sets its TIF_UPROBE bit,
which will then be checked on its return to userspace path
(do_notify_resume() ->uprobe_notify_resume()), where the
consumers handlers are run (in task context) based on the
defined filters.

Uprobe hits are thread specific and hence we need to maintain
information about if a task hit a uprobe, what uprobe was hit,
the slot where the original instruction was copied for xol so
that it can be singlestepped with appropriate fixups.

In some cases, special care is needed for instructions that are
executed out of line (xol). These are architecture specific
artefacts, such as handling RIP relative instructions on x86_64.

Since the instruction at which the uprobe was inserted is
executed out of line, architecture specific fixups are added so
that the thread continues normal execution in the presence of a
uprobe.

Postpone the signals until we execute the probed insn.
post_xol() path does a recalc_sigpending() before return to
user-mode, this ensures the signal can't be lost.

Uprobes relies on DIE_DEBUG notification to notify if a
singlestep is complete.

Adds x86 specific uprobe exception notifiers and appropriate
hooks needed to determine a uprobe hit and subsequent post
processing.

Add requisite x86 fixups for xol for uprobes. Specific cases
needing fixups include relative jumps (x86_64), calls, etc.

Where possible, we check and skip singlestepping the
breakpointed instructions. For now we skip single byte as well
as few multibyte nop instructions. However this can be extended
to other instructions too.

Credits to Oleg Nesterov for suggestions/patches related to
signal, breakpoint, singlestep handling code.

Linus Torvalds 1361b83a13 i387: Split up <asm/i387.h> into exported and internal interfaces
While various modules include <asm/i387.h> to get access to things we
actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really
pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to
others.

So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain
in <asm/i387.h>, while the internal definitions that are only used by
core architecture code are now in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.

The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to
modules, and leave them in <asm/i387.h>, while stuff that is used by
task switching or was marked GPL-only is in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.

The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since
arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module.  But that
kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the
internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained.  Even if it
isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.

Oleg Nesterov 73d382decc x86: Kill handle_signal()->set_fs()
handle_signal()->set_fs() has a nice comment which explains what
set_fs() is, but it doesn't explain why it is needed and why it
depends on CONFIG_X86_64.

Afaics, the history of this confusion is:

	1. I guess today nobody can explain why it was needed
	   in arch/i386/kernel/signal.c, perhaps it was always
	   wrong. This predates 2.4.0 kernel.

	2. then it was copy-and-past'ed to the new x86_64 arch.

	3. then it was removed from i386 (but not from x86_64)
	   by b93b6ca3 "i386: remove unnecessary code".

	4. then it was reintroduced under CONFIG_X86_64 when x86
	   unified i386 and x86_64, because the patch above didn't
	   touch x86_64.

Remove it. ->addr_limit should be correct. Even if it was possible
that it is wrong, it is too late to fix it after setup_rt_frame().

Linus commented in:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.0.999.0707170902570.19166@woody.linux-foundation.org

... about the equivalent bit from i386:

Heh. I think it's entirely historical.

Please realize that the whole reason that function is called "set_fs()" is 
that it literally used to set the %fs segment register, not 
"->addr_limit".

So I think the "set_fs(USER_DS)" is there _only_ to match the other

        regs->xds = __USER_DS;
        regs->xes = __USER_DS;
        regs->xss = __USER_DS;
        regs->xcs = __USER_CS;

things, and never mattered. And now it matters even less, and has been 
copied to all other architectures where it is just totally insane.

Oleg Nesterov 9b42962074 x86, do_signal: Simplify the TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK logic
1. do_signal() looks at TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and calculates the
   mask which should be stored in the signal frame, then it
   passes "oldset" to the callees, down to setup_rt_frame().

   This is ugly, setup_rt_frame() can do this itself and nobody
   else needs this sigset_t. Move this code into setup_rt_frame.

2. do_signal() also clears TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK if handle_signal()
   succeeds.

   We can move this to setup_rt_frame() as well, this avoids the
   unnecessary checks and makes the logic more clear.

3. use set_current_blocked() instead of sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK),
   sigprocmask() should be avoided.

Oleg Nesterov e6a585801b x86: signal: handle_signal() should use set_current_blocked()
This is ugly, but if sigprocmask() needs retarget_shared_pending() then
handle signal should follow this logic. In theory it is newer correct to
add the new signals to current->blocked, the signal handler can sleep/etc
so we should notify other threads in case we block the pending signal and
nobody else has TIF_SIGPENDING.

Of course, this change doesn't make signals faster :/

Frederic Weisbecker 0f8f86c7bd Merge commit 'perf/core' into perf/hw-breakpoint
Conflicts:
	kernel/Makefile

Merge reason: We need to be uptodate with the perf events development
branch because we plan to rewrite the breakpoints API on top of
perf events.
