show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.
show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.
* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.
alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa
* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.
arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.
Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.
An example BUG() dump follows.

x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information
from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't
consistent.
* x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print
them out with PID, comm and utsname. Some of the information is
printed again later in the same dump.
* warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints
it out with "Hardware name:" label. This applies to both x86 and
ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs.
* ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps.
This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by
dump_stack(). It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc()
during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with
"Hardware name:" label.
dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific
description from DMI data. It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from
dmi_present() used for DMI debug message. It is superset of the
information x86 show_regs() is using. The function is called from x86
and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine().
This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common()
unnecessary. Removed.
show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information
printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in
x86 show_regs(). The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and
remove the duplication.
An example WARN dump follows.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.
The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().
There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information.
This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.
Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used
in blackfin.
This patch brings the following behavior changes.
* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
printed. This is because the top frame was determined in
dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
sure whether that'd be necessary.
* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do
now.
An example WARN dump follows.

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp
from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.
dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file,
dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
- at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1
The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue. The build
breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.

There are multiple ways a task can be dumped - explicit call to
dump_stack(), triggering WARN() or BUG(), through sysrq-t and so on.
Most of what gets printed is upto each architecture and the current
state is not particularly pretty. Different pieces of information are
presented differently depending on which path the dump takes and which
architecture it's running on. This is messy for no good reason and
makes it exceedingly difficult to add or modify debug information to
task dumps.
In all archs except for s390, there's nothing arch-specific about the
printed debug information. This patchset updates all those archs to use
the same helpers to consistently print out the same debug information.
An example WARN dump after this patchset.

0006-dump_stack-unify-debug-information-printed-by-show_r.patch
0007-arc-print-fatal-signals-reduce-duplicated-informatio.patch
0001-0002 update stack dumping functions in x86 and sparc32 in
preparation.
0003 makes all arches except blackfin use generic dump_stack().
blackfin still uses the generic helper to print the same info.
0004-0005 properly abstract DMI identifier printing in WARN() and
show_regs() so that all dumps print out the information. This enables
show_regs() to use the same debug info message.
0006 updates show_regs() of all arches to use a common generic helper
to print debug info.
0007 removes somem duplicate information from arc dumps.
While this patchset changes how debug info is printed on some archs,
the printed information is always superset of what used to be there.
This patchset makes task dump debug messages consistent and enables
adding more information. Workqueue is scheduled to add worker
information including the workqueue in use and work item specific
description.
While this patch touches a lot of archs, it isn't too likely to cause
non-trivial conflicts with arch-specfic changes and would probably be
best to route together either through -mm.
x86 is tested but other archs are either only compile tested or not
tested at all. Changes to most archs are generally trivial.
This patch:
show_stack(current or NULL, NULL) is used to print the backtrace of the
current task. As trace beyond the function itself isn't of much
interest to anyone, don't show it by determining sp and bp in
show_stack()'s frame and passing them to show_stack_log_lvl().
This brings show_stack(NULL, NULL)'s behavior in line with
dump_stack().

Pull core timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle's merge are:
- Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side
blocking, by Thomas Gleixner.
- Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov:
- allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations
can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code.
- debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements.
- suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom
processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the
TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0
after resume. This can be taken advantage of by the generic via
the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to
recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource
can be used.
- Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many
CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current
simplistic seqfile approach fails. Convert /proc/timer_list to a
proper seq_file with its own iterator.
- Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John
Stultz.
- International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code
internally currently but not exposed externally. Separate the TAI
code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer
and posix-timer code, by John Stultz.
- Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core
timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ
clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents
driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid
spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring
timer will be woken.
- Add new ARM bcm281xx clocksource driver, by Christian Daudt
- ... various other fixes and cleanups"

Linus found, while extending integer type extension checks in the
sparse static code checker, various fragile patterns of mixed
signed/unsigned 64-bit/32-bit integer use in perf_events_p4.c.
The relevant hardware register ABI is 64 bit wide on 32-bit
kernels as well, so clean it all up a bit, remove unnecessary
casts, and make sure we use 64-bit unsigned integers in these
places.
[ Unfortunately this patch was not tested on real P4 hardware,
those are pretty rare already. If this patch causes any
problems on P4 hardware then please holler ... ]

check_hw_exists() has a number of checks which go to two exit
paths: msr_fail and bios_fail. Checks classified as msr_fail
will cause check_hw_exists() to return false, causing the PMU
not to be used; bios_fail checks will only cause a warning to be
printed, but will return true.
The problem is that if there are both msr failures and bios
failures, and the routine hits a bios_fail check first, it will
exit early and return true, not finishing the rest of the msr
checks. If those msrs are in fact broken, it will cause them to
be used erroneously.
In the case of a Xen PV VM, the guest OS has read access to all
the MSRs, but write access is white-listed to supported
features. Writes to unsupported MSRs have no effect. The PMU
MSRs are not (typically) supported, because they are expensive
to save and restore on a VM context switch. One of the
"msr_fail" checks is supposed to detect this circumstance (ether
for Xen or KVM) and disable the harware PMU.
However, on one of my AMD boxen, there is (apparently) a broken
BIOS which triggers one of the bios_fail checks. In particular,
MSR_K7_EVNTSEL0 has the ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_ENABLE bit set.
The guest kernel detects this because it has read access to all
MSRs, and causes it to skip the rest of the checks and try to
use the non-existent hardware PMU. This minimally causes a lot
of useless instruction emulation and Xen console spam; it may
cause other issues with the watchdog as well.
This changset causes check_hw_exists() to go through all of the
msr checks, failing and returning false if any of them fail.
This makes sure that a guest running under Xen without a virtual
PMU will detect that there is no functioning PMU and not attempt
to use it.
This problem affects kernels as far back as 3.2, and should thus
be considered for backport.

Add support for AMD Family 15h [and above] northbridge
performance counters. MSRs 0xc0010240 ~ 0xc0010247 are shared
across all cores that share a common northbridge.
Add support for AMD Family 16h L2 performance counters. MSRs
0xc0010230 ~ 0xc0010237 are shared across all cores that share a
common L2 cache.
We do not enable counter overflow interrupts. Sampling mode and
per-thread events are not supported.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
"The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This
is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
in many places.)
After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it
changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
interfaces."
I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow. But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"Three groups of fixes:
1. Make sure we don't execute the early microcode patching if family
< 6, since it would touch MSRs which don't exist on those
families, causing crashes.
2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more
gracefully than just disabling the driver.
3. More EFI variable space magic. In particular, variables hidden
from runtime code need to be taken into account too."

For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will
be a minimum family for which this is implemented. Verify this
minimum level of support.
This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application
functions. Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because
of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather
than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in
the dispatch function.

Per hpa, use crashkernel=X,high crashkernel=Y,low instead of
crashkernel_hign=X crashkernel_low=Y. As that could be extensible.
-v2: according to Vivek, change delimiter to ;
-v3: let hign and low only handle simple form and it conforms to
description in kernel-parameters.txt
still keep crashkernel=X override any crashkernel=X,high
crashkernel=Y,low
-v4: update get_last_crashkernel returning and add more strict
checking in parse_crashkernel_simple() found by HATAYAMA.
-v5: Change delimiter back to , according to HPA.
also separate parse_suffix from parse_simper according to vivek.
so we can avoid @pos in that path.

So change back crashkernel= back to old behavoir, and add crashkernel_high=
to let user decide if buffer could be above 4G, and also new kexec-tools will
be needed.

Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.
We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y. This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled. Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.
Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.
For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could
specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram.
-v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.
-v4: add comments what 8M is for according to hpa.
also update more crashkernel_low= in kernel-parameters.txt
-v5: update changelog according to Vivek.
-v6: Change description about swiotlb referring according to HATAYAMA.

The valid mask for both offcore_response_0 and
offcore_response_1 was wrong for SNB/SNB-EP,
IVB/IVB-EP. It was possible to write to
reserved bit and cause a GP fault crashing
the kernel.
This patch fixes the problem by correctly marking the
reserved bits in the valid mask for all the processors
mentioned above.
A distinction between desktop and server parts is introduced
because bits 24-30 are only available on the server parts.
This version of the patch is just a rebase to perf/urgent tree
and should apply to older kernels as well.

The idea with those routines is to slowly phase them out and not call
them on anything else besides K8. They even have a check for that which,
when called too early, fails. Let me explain:
It gets the cpuinfo_x86 pointer from the per_cpu array and when this
happens for cpu0, before its boot_cpu_data has been copied back to the
per_cpu array in smp_store_boot_cpu_info(), we get an empty struct and
thus the check fails.
Use boot_cpu_data directly instead.
