Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:
1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
Make this explicit for all architectures.
2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
are very fast and small that e.g. net code seems to make. Remove
this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
assume.
3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
like net/sunrpc does will never sleep. Remove an unconditinal
might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
PROVE_LOCKING is not set).
4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
caller to sleep. Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
PROVE_LOCKING is set.
These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
machine and the host:
before:
incoming: 7122.77 Mb/s
outgoing: 8480.37 Mb/s

Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling
used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger
tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
holding, ie the younger task is wounded.
See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:
https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/
The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
have already been implemented for the DRM tree).

Reschedule vector tracepoints may be called in cpu idle state.
This causes lockdep check warning below.
The tracepoint requires rcu but for accuracy it also
requires irq_enter() (tracepoints record the irq context), thus,
the tracepoint interrupt handler should be calling irq_enter()
and not rcu_irq_enter() (irq_enter() calls rcu_irq_enter()).
So, add irq_enter/exit() to smp_trace_reschedule_interrupt()
with common pre/post processing functions, smp_entering_irq()
and exiting_irq() (exiting_irq() calls just irq_exit()
in arch/x86/include/asm/apic.h),
because these can be shared among reschedule, call_function,
and call_function_single vectors.

Adjustments to Xen's persistent clock via update_persistent_clock()
don't actually persist, as the Xen wallclock is a software only clock
and modifications to it do not modify the underlying CMOS RTC.
The x86_platform.set_wallclock hook is there to keep the hardware RTC
synchronized. On a guest this is pointless.
On Dom0 we can use the native implementaion which actually updates the
hardware RTC, but we still need to keep the software emulation of RTC
for the guests up to date. The subscription to the pvclock_notifier
allows us to emulate this easily. The notifier is called at every tick
and when the clock was set.
Right now we only use that notifier when the clock was set, but due to
the fact that it is called periodically from the timekeeping update
code, we can utilize it to emulate the NTP driven drift compensation
of update_persistant_clock() for the Xen wall (software) clock.
Add a 11 minutes periodic update to the pvclock_gtod notifier callback
to achieve that. The static variable 'next' which maintains that 11
minutes update cycle is protected by the core code serialization so
there is no need to add a Xen specific serialization mechanism.

Currently the Xen wallclock is only updated every 11 minutes if NTP is
synchronized to its clock source (using the sync_cmos_clock() work).
If a guest is started before NTP is synchronized it may see an
incorrect wallclock time.
Use the pvclock_gtod notifier chain to receive a notification when the
system time has changed and update the wallclock to match.
This chain is called on every timer tick and we want to avoid an extra
(expensive) hypercall on every tick. Because dom0 has historically
never provided a very accurate wallclock and guests do not expect one,
we can do this simply: the wallclock is only updated if the clock was
set.

... because the "clock_event_device framework" already accounts for idle
time through the "event_handler" function pointer in
xen_timer_interrupt().
The patch is intended as the completion of [1]. It should fix the double
idle times seen in PV guests' /proc/stat [2]. It should be orthogonal to
stolen time accounting (the removed code seems to be isolated).
The approach may be completely misguided.

[2] http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-08/msg01068.html
John took the time to retest this patch on top of v3.10 and reported:
"idle time is correctly incremented for pv and hvm for the normal
case, nohz=off and nohz=idle." so lets put this patch in.

Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset for tracing TSC offset change.
We want to merge ftrace's trace data of guest OSs and the host OS using
TSC for timestamp in chronological order. We need "TSC offset" values for
each guest when merge those because the TSC value on a guest is always the
host TSC plus guest's TSC offset. If we get the TSC offset values, we can
calculate the host TSC value for each guest events from the TSC offset and
the event TSC value. The host TSC values of the guest events are used when we
want to merge trace data of guests and the host in chronological order.
(Note: the trace_clock of both the host and the guest must be set x86-tsc in
this case)
This tracepoint also records vcpu_id which can be used to merge trace data for
SMP guests. A merge tool will read TSC offset for each vcpu, then the tool
converts guest TSC values to host TSC values for each vcpu.
TSC offset is stored in the VMCS by vmx_write_tsc_offset() or
vmx_adjust_tsc_offset(). KVM executes the former function when a guest boots.
The latter function is executed when kvm clock is updated. Only host can read
TSC offset value from VMCS, so a host needs to output TSC offset value
when TSC offset is changed.
Since the TSC offset is not often changed, it could be overwritten by other
frequent events while tracing. To avoid that, I recommend to use a special
instance for getting this event:
1. set a instance before booting a guest
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
# mkdir tsc_offset
# cd tsc_offset
# echo x86-tsc > trace_clock
# echo 1 > events/kvm/kvm_write_tsc_offset/enable
2. boot a guest

Without this information, users will just see unexpected performance
problems and there is little chance we will get good reports from them:
note that mmio generation is increased even when we just start, or stop,

all shadow pages to be zapped.
printk_ratelimited() is used for this taking into account the problems
that we can see the information many times when we start multiple VMs
and guests can trigger this by reading ROM in a loop for example.

This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock
KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created
When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round

This patch fixes a problem with the shared registers mutual
exclusion code and incremental event scheduling by the
generic perf_event code.
There was a bug whereby the mutual exclusion on the shared
registers was not enforced because of incremental scheduling
abort due to event constraints. As an example on Intel
Nehalem, consider the following events:
group1= L1D_CACHE_LD:E_STATE,OFFCORE_RESPONSE_0:PF_RFO,L1D_CACHE_LD:I_STATE
group2= L1D_CACHE_LD:I_STATE
The L1D_CACHE_LD event can only be measured by 2 counters. Yet, there
are 3 instances here. The first group can be scheduled and is committed.
Then, the generic code tries to schedule group2 and this fails (because
there is no more counter to support the 3rd instance of L1D_CACHE_LD).
But in x86_schedule_events() error path, put_event_contraints() is invoked
on ALL the events and not just the ones that just failed. That causes the
"lock" on the shared offcore_response MSR to be released. Yet the first group
is actually scheduled and is exposed to reprogramming of that shared msr by
the sibling HT thread. In other words, there is no guarantee on what is
measured.
This patch fixes the problem by tagging committed events with the
PERF_X86_EVENT_COMMITTED tag. In the error path of x86_schedule_events(),
only the events NOT tagged have their constraint released. The tag
is eventually removed when the event in descheduled.

This will allow me to call functions that have multiple
arguments if fastpath fails. This is required to support ticket
mutexes, because they need to be able to pass an extra argument
to the fail function.
Originally I duplicated the functions, by adding
__mutex_fastpath_lock_retval_arg. This ended up being just a
duplication of the existing function, so a way to test if
fastpath was called ended up being better.
This also cleaned up the reservation mutex patch some by being
able to call an atomic_set instead of atomic_xchg, and making it
easier to detect if the wrong unlock function was previously
used.

Recent Intel CPUs like Haswell and IvyBridge have a new
alternative MSR range for perfctrs that allows writing the full
counter width. Enable this range if the hardware reports it
using a new capability bit.
Currently the perf code queries CPUID to get the counter width,
and sign extends the counter values as needed. The traditional
PERFCTR MSRs always limit to 32bit, even though the counter
internally is larger (usually 48 bits on recent CPUs)
When the new capability is set use the alternative range which
do not have these restrictions.
This lowers the overhead of perf stat slightly because it has to
do less interrupts to accumulate the counter value. On Haswell
it also avoids some problems with TSX aborting when the end of
the counter range is reached.
( See the patch "perf/x86/intel: Avoid checkpointed counters
causing excessive TSX aborts" for more details. )

The control registers are unsigned long (32 bits on i386, 64 bits on
x86-64), and so make that manifest in the data type for the various
constants. Add defines with a _BIT suffix which defines the bit
number, as opposed to the bit mask.
This should resolve some issues with ~bitmask that Linus discovered.
