Currently, we use a global vector as the Posted-Interrupts
Notification Event for all the vCPUs in the system. We need
to introduce another global vector for VT-d Posted-Interrtups,
which will be used to wakeup the sleep vCPU when an external
interrupt from a direct-assigned device happens for that vCPU.

Deferred errors indicate error conditions that were not corrected, but
require no action from S/W (or action is optional).These errors provide
info about a latent UC MCE that can occur when a poisoned data is
consumed by the processor.
Processors that report these errors can be configured to generate APIC
interrupts to notify OS about the error.
Provide an interrupt handler in this patch so that OS can catch these
errors as and when they happen. Currently, we simply log the errors and
exit the handler as S/W action is not mandated.

[Purpose of this patch]
As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html
<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.
There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.
The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>
On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.
I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.
[Patch Description]
Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.
So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
- local_timer_vector
- reschedule_vector
- call_function_vector
- call_function_single_vector
- irq_work_entry_vector
- error_apic_vector
- thermal_apic_vector
- threshold_apic_vector
- spurious_apic_vector
- x86_platform_ipi_vector
Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
- Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
- Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
_set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
- Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
- Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
- Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
- On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
is disabled.
In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
used for other purposes.

Posted Interrupt feature requires a special IPI to deliver posted interrupt
to guest. And it should has a high priority so the interrupt will not be
blocked by others.
Normally, the posted interrupt will be consumed by vcpu if target vcpu is
running and transparent to OS. But in some cases, the interrupt will arrive
when target vcpu is scheduled out. And host will see it. So we need to
register a dump handler to handle it.

There are 32 INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR now in kernel. That is quite big
amount of vector in IDT. But it is still not enough, since modern x86
sever has more cpu number. That still causes heavy lock contention
in TLB flushing.
The patch using generic smp call function to replace it. That saved 32
vector number in IDT, and resolved the lock contention in TLB
flushing on large system.
In the NHM EX machine 4P * 8cores * HT = 64 CPUs, hackbench pthread

The MCE handler uses a special vector for self IPI to invoke
post-emergency processing in an interrupt context, e.g. call an
NMI-unsafe function, wakeup loggers, schedule time-consuming work for
recovery, etc.
This mechanism is now generalized by the following commit:

Add up to 32 invalidate_interrupt handlers. How many handlers are
added depends on NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS. So if
NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS is smaller than 32, we reduce code
size.

gas prior to (perhaps) 2.16.90 has problems with passing non-
parenthesized expressions containing spaces to macros. Spaces, however,
get inserted by cpp between any macro expanding to a number and a
subsequent + or -. For the +, current x86 gas then removes the space
again (future gas may not do so), but for the - the space gets retained
and is then considered a separator between macro arguments.
Fix the respective definitions for both the - and + cases, so that they
neither contain spaces nor make cpp insert any (the latter by adding
seemingly redundant parentheses).

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled
triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(),
producing ugly backtraces and confusing users.
This is a common situation with machine checks for example which
tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit
in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it
means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which
would be bad.
This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function,
which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other
CPUs.
On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU
smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic
situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex
system state.
I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic
there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch
was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the
underlying complexity problems.
The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by
checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make
this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution
because panic has to be reliable.
So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot
code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus
in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on
too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be
called from interupts off region because it is very very simple.
There can be situations where it is important that panic
is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic
is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly
as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and
all function it calls simple.
This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme.
It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not
particularly precious anymore since all big systems are
using per CPU vectors.
Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar
to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't
work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs
would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts
off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for
using a non NMI vector for now.
I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of
the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down
instead into the next lower priority.

Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.
The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
to call wake_up(). Instead it set a process flag
and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
or in the idle notifier.
This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.
The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
wake_up().
When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.
Contains fixes from Ying Huang.

The 64bit machine check code is in many ways much better than
the 32bit machine check code: it is more specification compliant,
is cleaner, only has a single code base versus one per CPU,
has better infrastructure for recovery, has a cleaner way to communicate
with user space etc. etc.
Use the 64bit code for 32bit too.
This is the second attempt to do this. There was one a couple of years
ago to unify this code for 32bit and 64bit. Back then this ran into some
trouble with K7s and was reverted.
I believe this time the K7 problems (and some others) are addressed.
I went over the old handlers and was very careful to retain
all quirks.
But of course this needs a lot of testing on old systems. On newer
64bit capable systems I don't expect much problems because they have been
already tested with the 64bit kernel.
I made this a CONFIG for now that still allows to select the old
machine check code. This is mostly to make testing easier,
if someone runs into a problem we can ask them to try
with the CONFIG switched.
The new code is default y for more coverage.
Once there is confidence the 64bit code works well on older hardware
too the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE and the associated code can be easily
removed.
This causes a behaviour change for 32bit installations. They now
have to install the mcelog package to be able to log
corrected machine checks.
The 64bit machine check code only handles CPUs which support the
standard Intel machine check architecture described in the IA32 SDM.
The 32bit code has special support for some older CPUs which
have non standard machine check architectures, in particular
WinChip C3 and Intel P5. I made those a separate CONFIG option
and kept them for now. The WinChip variant could be probably
removed without too much pain, it doesn't really do anything
interesting. P5 is also disabled by default (like it
was before) because many motherboards have it miswired, but
according to Alan Cox a few embedded setups use that one.

The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between
'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support':
config X86_SMP
bool
depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64)
This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use
smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended
more to cover all the specialities of Voyager.
So remove this complication in the Kconfig space.
