git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat - so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request, collected into the 'x86/core' topic. The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good - but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the end. The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will have fewer dependencies). The main changes in this cycle were: * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner) - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86 interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt domains: [IOAPIC domain] ----- | [MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ] | (optional) | [HPET MSI domain] ----- | | [DMAR domain] ----------------------------- | [Legacy domain] ----------------------------- This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet and the vector management. - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt injection into guests (Feng Wu) * x86/asm changes: - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski, Brian Gerst) - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar) - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations. Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does not rely on them (Ingo Molnar) - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov) * x86/mm changes: - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers - in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov) - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani) * x86/ras changes: - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan) This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as far as possible. - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system- wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj) - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov) * x86/platform changes: - Intel Atom SoC updates ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the shortlog and the Git log for details" * 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits) x86/hpet: Use proper hpet device number for MSI allocation x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts x86/mm/pat, drivers/infiniband/ipath: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/mm/pat, drivers/media/ivtv: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/platform/intel/baytrail: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail genirq: Prevent crash in irq_move_irq() genirq: Enhance irq_data_to_desc() to support hierarchy irqdomain iommu, x86: Properly handle posted interrupts for IOMMU hotplug iommu, x86: Provide irq_remapping_cap() interface iommu, x86: Setup Posted-Interrupts capability for Intel iommu iommu, x86: Add cap_pi_support() to detect VT-d PI capability iommu, x86: Avoid migrating VT-d posted interrupts iommu, x86: Save the mode (posted or remapped) of an IRTE iommu, x86: Implement irq_set_vcpu_affinity for intel_ir_chip iommu: dmar: Provide helper to copy shared irte fields iommu: dmar: Extend struct irte for VT-d Posted-Interrupts iommu: Add new member capability to struct irq_remap_ops x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code x86/asm/entry/32: Shorten __audit_syscall_entry() args preparation x86/asm/entry/32: Explain reloading of registers after __audit_syscall_entry() ...

The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to understand. This enables future work to further simplify the FPU code (such as removing lazy FPU restores). By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track back to kernel side backs.

2015-06-20genirq: Remove bogus restriction in irq_move_mask_irq()Thomas Gleixner
If an interrupt is marked with the no balancing flag, we still allow setting the affinity for such an interrupt from the kernel itself, but for interrupts which move the affinity from interrupt context via irq_move_mask_irq() this runs into a check for the no balancing flag, which in turn ends up with an endless storm of stack dumps because the move pending flag is not reset. Allow the move for interrupts which have the no balancing flag set and clear the move pending bit before checking for interrupts with the per cpu flag set.

2015-06-19timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabledThomas Gleixner
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch.

2015-06-19timer: Stats: Simplify the flags handlingThomas Gleixner
Simplify the handling of the flag storage for the timer statistics. No intermediate storage anymore. Just hand over the flags field. I left the printout of 'deferrable' for now because changing this would be an ABI update and I have no idea how strong people feel about that. OTOH, I wonder whether we should kill the whole timer stats stuff because all of that information can be retrieved via ftrace/perf as well.

2015-06-19timer: Replace timer base by a cpu indexThomas Gleixner
Instead of storing a pointer to the per cpu tvec_base we can simply cache a CPU index in the timer_list and use that to get hold of the correct per cpu tvec_base. This is only used in lock_timer_base() and the slightly larger code is peanuts versus the spinlock operation and the d-cache foot print of the timer wheel. Aside of that this allows to get rid of following nuisances: - boot_tvec_base That statically allocated 4k bss data is just kept around so the timer has a home when it gets statically initialized. It serves no other purpose. With the CPU index we assign the timer to CPU0 at static initialization time and therefor can avoid the whole boot_tvec_base dance. That also simplifies the init code, which just can use the per cpu base. Before: text data bss dec hex filename 17491 9201 4160 30852 7884 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o After: text data bss dec hex filename 17440 9193 0 26633 6809 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o - Overloading the base pointer with various flags The CPU index has enough space to hold the flags (deferrable, irqsafe) so we can get rid of the extra masking and bit fiddling with the base pointer. As a benefit we reduce the size of struct timer_list on 64 bit machines. 4 - 8 bytes, a size reduction up to 15% per struct timer_list, which is a real win as we have tons of them embedded in other structs. This changes also the newly added deferrable printout of the timer start trace point to capture and print all timer->flags, which allows us to decode the target cpu of the timer as well. We might have used bitfields for this, but that would change the static initializers and the init function for no value to accomodate big endian bitfields.

2015-06-19timer: Remove FIFO "guarantee"Thomas Gleixner
The FIFO guarantee is only there if two timers are queued into the same bucket at the same jiffie on the same cpu: - The slack value depends on the delta between expiry and enqueue time, so the resulting expiry time can be different for timers which are queued in different jiffies. - Timers which are queued into the secondary array end up after a later queued timer which was queued into the primary array due to cascading. - Timers can end up on different cpus due to the NOHZ target moving around. Obviously there is no guarantee of expiry ordering between cpus. So anything which relies on FIFO behaviour of the timer wheel is broken already. This is a preparatory patch for converting the timer wheel to hlist which reduces the memory foot print of the wheel by 50%. It's a seperate patch so any (unlikely to happen) regression caused by this can be identified clearly.

2015-06-19timers: Sanitize catchup_timer_jiffies() usageThomas Gleixner
catchup_timer_jiffies() has been applied blindly to several functions without looking for possible better ways to do it. 1) internal_add_timer() Move the update to base->all_timers before we actually insert the timer into the wheel. 2) detach_if_pending() Again the update to base->all_timers allows us to explicitely do the timer_jiffies update in place, if this was the last timer which got removed. 3) __run_timers() We only check on entry, which is silly, because base->timer_jiffies can be behind - especially on NOHZ kernels - and if there is a single deferrable timer somewhere between base->timer_jiffies and jiffies we expire it and then loop until base->timer_jiffies == jiffies. Move it into the loop.

Resetting the p->dl_throttled flag in rt_mutex_setprio() (for a task that is going to be boosted) is superfluous, as the natural place to do so is in replenish_dl_entity(). If the task was on the runqueue and it is boosted by a DL task, it will be enqueued back with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH flag set, which can guarantee that dl_throttled is reset in replenish_dl_entity().

2015-06-19perf: Fix ring_buffer_attach() RCU sync, againOleg Nesterov
While looking for other users of get_state/cond_sync. I Found ring_buffer_attach() and it looks obviously buggy? Don't we need to ensure that we have "synchronize" _between_ list_del() and list_add() ? IOW. Suppose that ring_buffer_attach() preempts right_after get_state_synchronize_rcu() and gp completes before spin_lock(). In this case cond_synchronize_rcu() does nothing and we reuse ->rb_entry without waiting for gp in between? It also moves the ->rcu_pending check under "if (rb)", to make it more readable imo.

2015-06-19hrtimer: Allow hrtimer::function() to free the timerPeter Zijlstra
Currently an hrtimer callback function cannot free its own timer because __run_hrtimer() still needs to clear HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK after it. Freeing the timer would result in a clear use-after-free. Solve this by using a scheme similar to regular timers; track the current running timer in hrtimer_clock_base::running.

I do not understand HRTIMER_STATE_MIGRATE. Unless I am totally confused it looks buggy and simply unneeded. migrate_hrtimer_list() sets it to keep hrtimer_active() == T, but this is not enough: this can fool, say, hrtimer_is_queued() in dequeue_signal(). Can't migrate_hrtimer_list() simply use HRTIMER_STATE_ENQUEUED? This fixes the race and we can kill STATE_MIGRATE.

2015-06-18irq: Add irq_set_chained_handler_and_data()Russell King
Driver authors seem to get the ordering of irq_set_chained_handler() and irq_set_handler_data() wrong - ordering the former before the latter. This opens a race window where, if there is an interrupt pending, the handler will be called between these two calls, potentially resulting in an oops. Provide a single interface to set both of these together, especially as that's commonly what is required.

2015-06-18timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the real timekeeper lastJohn Stultz
The fix in d151832650ed9 (time: Move clock_was_set_seq update before updating shadow-timekeeper) was unfortunately incomplete. The main gist of that change was to do the shadow-copy update last, so that any state changes were properly duplicated, and we wouldn't accidentally have stale data in the shadow. Unfortunately in the main update_wall_time() logic, we update use the shadow-timekeeper to calculate the next update values, then while holding the lock, copy the shadow-timekeeper over, then call timekeeping_update() to do some additional bookkeeping, (skipping the shadow mirror). The bug with this is the additional bookkeeping isn't all read-only, and some changes timkeeper state. Thus we might then overwrite this state change on the next update. To avoid this problem, do the timekeeping_update() on the shadow-timekeeper prior to copying the full state over to the real-timekeeper. This avoids problems with both the clock_was_set_seq and next_leap_ktime being overwritten and possibly the fast-timekeepers as well. Many thanks to Prarit for his rigorous testing, which discovered this problem, along with Prarit and Daniel's work validating this fix.

2015-06-18clockevents: Check state instead of mode in suspend/resume pathViresh Kumar
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_* macros are present for backward compatibility (as most of the drivers are still using old ->set_mode() interface). These macro's shouldn't be used anymore in code, that is common to both driver interfaces, i.e. ->set_mode() and ->set_state_*(). Drivers implementing ->set_state_*() interface, which have their clkevt->mode set to 0 (clkevt device structures are normally globally defined), will not participate in suspend/resume as they will always be marked as UNUSED. Fix this by checking state of the clockevent device instead of mode, which is updated for both the interfaces.

2015-06-12ntp: Do leapsecond adjustment in adjtimex read pathJohn Stultz
Since the leapsecond is applied at tick-time, this means there is a small window of time at the start of a leap-second where we cross into the next second before applying the leap. This patch modified adjtimex so that the leap-second is applied on the second edge. Providing more correct leapsecond behavior. This does make it so that adjtimex()'s returned time values can be inconsistent with time values read from gettimeofday() or clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME,...) for a brief period of one tick at the leapsecond. However, those other interfaces do not provide the TIME_OOP time_state return that adjtimex() provides, which allows the leapsecond to be properly represented. They instead only see a time discontinuity, and cannot tell the first 23:59:59 from the repeated 23:59:59 leap second. This seems like a reasonable tradeoff given clock_gettime() / gettimeofday() cannot properly represent a leapsecond, and users likely care more about performance, while folks who are using adjtimex() more likely care about leap-second correctness.
