Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - Revamp, simplify (and in some cases fix) Time Stamp Counter (TSC)
     primitives.  (Andy Lutomirski)

   - Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C.
     (Andy Lutomirski)

   - vm86 mode cleanups and fixes.  (Brian Gerst)

   - 32-bit compat code cleanups.  (Brian Gerst)

  The amount of simplification in low level assembly code is already
  palpable:

     arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S                          | 130 +----
     arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S                          | 197 ++-----

  but more simplifications are planned.

  There's also the usual laudry mix of low level changes - see the
  changelog for details"

perf/x86: Make merge_attr() global to use from perf_event_intel

2015-08-04T08:16:59+00:00

merge_attr() allows to merge two sysfs attribute tables.
Export it to be usable by other files too.

Next patch is going to use that to extend the sysfs format
attributes for a CPU.

x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt() optional

2015-07-31T11:30:45+00:00

The modify_ldt syscall exposes a large attack surface and is
unnecessary for modern userspace.  Make it optional.

x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous

2015-07-31T08:23:23+00:00

modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize
threads.  Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all
threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications.

This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded
programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that
care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.

This fixes some fallout from the CVE-2015-5157 fixes.

perf/x86: Fix 'active_events' imbalance

2015-06-30T11:08:46+00:00

Commit 1b7b938f1817 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix PMI handling for Intel PT") conditionally
increments active_events in x86_add_exclusive() but unconditionally decrements in
x86_del_exclusive().

These extra decrements can lead to the situation where
active_events is zero and thus the PMI handler is 'disabled'
while we have active events on the PMU generating PMIs.

This leads to a truckload of:

  Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21 on CPU 28.
  Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
  Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

messages and generally messes up perf.

Remove the condition on the increment, double increment balanced
by a double decrement is perfectly fine.

Restructure the code a little bit to make the unconditional inc
a bit more natural.

Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2015-06-22T22:45:41+00:00

Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "These are the left over fixes from the v4.1 cycle"

* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  perf tools: Fix build breakage if prefix= is specified
  perf/x86: Honor the architectural performance monitoring version
  perf/x86/intel: Fix PMI handling for Intel PT

perf/x86/intel: Fix PMI handling for Intel PT

2015-06-19T07:38:47+00:00

Intel PT is a separate PMU and it is not using any of the x86_pmu
code paths, which means in particular that the active_events counter
remains intact when new PT events are created.

However, PT uses the generic x86_pmu PMI handler for its PMI handling needs.

The problem here is that the latter checks active_events and in case of it
being zero, exits without calling the actual x86_pmu.handle_nmi(), which
results in unknown NMI errors and massive data loss for PT.

The effect is not visible if there are other perf events in the system
at the same time that keep active_events counter non-zero, for instance
if the NMI watchdog is running, so one needs to disable it to reproduce
the problem.

At the same time, the active_events counter besides doing what the name
suggests also implicitly serves as a PMC hardware and DS area reference
counter.

This patch adds a separate reference counter for the PMC hardware, leaving
active_events for actually counting the events and makes sure it also
counts PT and BTS events.
