Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9.
This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote
backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small
improvements along the way.
The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are
scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is
about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both
where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the
cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us
to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu.
I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested
x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic
cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the
new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it
and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle
section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific
idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone
with platform experience in follow-up patches.
This patch (of 4):
Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all
cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace
of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to
support a cpumask as the underlying primitive.
This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a
cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use
the new "cpumask" method instead.
The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to
using the new cpumask approach in this change.
The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted
to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach.
The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it
will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.

We need to call exit_thread from copy_process in a fail path. So make it
accept task_struct as a parameter.
[v2]
* s390: exit_thread_runtime_instr doesn't make sense to be called for
non-current tasks.
* arm: fix the comment in vfp_thread_copy
* change 'me' to 'tsk' for task_struct
* now we can change only archs that actually have exit_thread

With the increase in number of CPUs calls to functions that dump
output to console (e.g., arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace) can take
a long time to complete. If IRQs are disabled eventually the NMI
watchdog kicks in and creates more havoc. Avoid by telling the NMI

Christopher reports that perf_event_print_debug() can crash in uniprocessor
builds. The crash is due to pcr_ops being NULL.
This happens because pcr_arch_init() is only invoked by smp_cpus_done() which
only executes in SMP builds.
init_hw_perf_events() is closely intertwined with pcr_ops being setup properly,
therefore:
1) Call pcr_arch_init() early on from init_hw_perf_events(), instead of
from smp_cpus_done().
2) Do not hook up a PMU type if pcr_ops is NULL after pcr_arch_init().
3) Move init_hw_perf_events to a later initcall so that it we will be
sure to invoke pcr_arch_init() after all cpus are brought up.
Finally, guard the one naked sequence of pcr_ops dereferences in
__global_pmu_self() with an appropriate NULL check.

Sometimes it is preferred not to use the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
routine when one wants to avoid capturing a back trace for current. For
instance if one was previously captured recently.
This patch provides a new routine namely
trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace() which offers the flexibility to issue
an NMI to every cpu but current and capture a back trace accordingly.
Patch x86 and sparc to support new routine.

In arch_cpu_idle() we must enable %pil based interrupts before
potentially invoking the hypervisor cpu yield call.
As per the Hypervisor API documentation for cpu_yield:
Interrupts which are blocked by some mechanism other that
pstate.ie (for example %pil) are not guaranteed to cause
a return from this service.
It seems that only first generation Niagara chips are hit by this
bug. My best guess is that later chips implement this in hardware
and wake up anyways from %pil events, whereas in first generation
chips the yield is implemented completely in hypervisor code and
requires %pil to be enabled in order to wake properly from this
call.

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.

The Montgomery Multiply, Montgomery Square, and Multiple-Precision
Multiply instructions work by loading a combination of the floating
point and multiple register windows worth of integer registers
with the inputs.
These values are 64-bit. But for 32-bit userland processes we only
save the low 32-bits of each integer register during a register spill.
This is because the register window save area is in the user stack and
has a fixed layout.
Therefore, the only way to use these instruction in 32-bit mode is to
perform the following sequence:
1) Load the top-32bits of a choosen integer register with a sentinel,
say "-1". This will be in the outer-most register window.
The idea is that we're trying to see if the outer-most register
window gets spilled, and thus the 64-bit values were truncated.
2) Load all the inputs for the montmul/montsqr/mpmul instruction,
down to the inner-most register window.
3) Execute the opcode.
4) Traverse back up to the outer-most register window.
5) Check the sentinel, if it's still "-1" store the results.
Otherwise retry the entire sequence.
This retry is extremely troublesome. If you're just unlucky and an
interrupt or other trap happens, it'll push that outer-most window to
the stack and clear the sentinel when we restore it.
We could retry forever and never make forward progress if interrupts
arrive at a fast enough rate (consider perf events as one example).
So we have do limited retries and fallback to software which is
extremely non-deterministic.
Luckily it's very straightforward to provide a mechanism to let
32-bit applications use a 64-bit stack. Stacks in 64-bit mode are
biased by 2047 bytes, which means that the lowest bit is set in the
actual %sp register value.
So if we see bit zero set in a 32-bit application's stack we treat
it like a 64-bit stack.
Runtime detection of such a facility is tricky, and cumbersome at
best. For example, just trying to use a biased stack and seeing if it
works is hard to recover from (the signal handler will need to use an
alt stack, plus something along the lines of longjmp). Therefore, we
add a system call to report a bitmask of arch specific features like
this in a cheap and less hairy way.
With help from Andy Polyakov.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.
Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.
To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:
- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.
There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.
- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.

Many of the core sparc kernel files are not modules, but just
including module.h for exporting symbols. Now these files can
use the lighter footprint export.h for this role.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

This is mandatory for 64-bit processes, and doing it also for 32-bit
processes saves a conditional in the compat case.
This fixes the glibc/nptl/tst-stdio1 test case, as well
as many others, on 64-bit.

As Andrew noted, my previous patch ("debug lockups: Improve lockup
detection") broke/removed SysRq-L support from architecture that do
not provide a __trigger_all_cpu_backtrace implementation.
Restore a fallback path and clean up the SysRq-L machinery a bit:
- Rename the arch method to arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
- Simplify the define
- Document the method a bit - in the hope of more architectures
adding support for it.
[ The patch touches Sparc code for the rename. ]

When we're idling in NOHZ mode, timer interrupts are not running.
Evidence of processing timer interrupts is what the NMI watchdog
uses to determine if the CPU is stuck.
On Niagara, we'll yield the cpu. This will make the cpu, at
worst, hang out in the hypervisor until an interrupt arrives.
This will prevent the NMI watchdog timer from firing.
However on non-Niagara we just loop executing instructions
which will cause the NMI watchdog to keep firing. It won't
see timer interrupts happening so it will think the cpu is
stuck.
Fix this by touching the NMI watchdog in the cpu idle loop
on non-Niagara machines.

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
