Pull uprobes updates from Oleg Nesterov:
- "uretprobes" - an optimization to uprobes, like kretprobes are an optimization
to kprobes. "perf probe -x file sym%return" now works like kretprobes.
- PowerPC fixes plus a couple of cleanups/optimizations in uprobes and trace_uprobes.

The two use-cases where we needed to store the GDT were during ACPI S3 suspend
and resume. As the patches:
x86/gdt/i386: store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernation/resume path is not needed
x86/gdt/64-bit: store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path is not needed.
have demonstrated - there are other mechanism by which the GDT is
saved and reloaded during early resume path.
Hence we do not need to worry about the pvops call-chain for saving the
GDT and can and can eliminate it. The other areas where the store_gdt is
used are never going to be hit when running under the pvops platforms.

During the ACPI S3 suspend, we store the GDT in the wakup_header (see
wakeup_asm.s) field called 'pmode_gdt'.
Which is then used during the resume path and has the same exact
value as what the store/load_gdt do with the saved_context
(which is saved/restored via save/restore_processor_state()).
The flow during resume from ACPI S3 is simpler than the 64-bit
counterpart. We only use the early bootstrap once (wakeup_gdt) and
do various checks in real mode.
After the checks are completed, we load the saved GDT ('pmode_gdt') and
continue on with the resume (by heading to startup_32 in trampoline_32.S) -
which quickly jumps to what was saved in 'pmode_entry'
aka 'wakeup_pmode_return'.
The 'wakeup_pmode_return' restores the GDT (saved_gdt) again (which was
saved in do_suspend_lowlevel initially). After that it ends up calling
the 'ret_point' which calls 'restore_processor_state()'.
We have two opportunities to remove code where we restore the same GDT
twice.
Here is the call chain:
wakeup_start
|- lgdtl wakeup_gdt [the work-around broken BIOSes]
|
| - lgdtl pmode_gdt [the real one]
|
\-- startup_32 (in trampoline_32.S)
\-- wakeup_pmode_return (in wakeup_32.S)
|- lgdtl saved_gdt [the real one]
\-- ret_point
|..
|- call restore_processor_state
The hibernate path is much simpler. During the saving of the hibernation
image we call save_processor_state() and save the contents of that
along with the rest of the kernel in the hibernation image destination.
We save the EIP of 'restore_registers' (restore_jump_address) and
cr3 (restore_cr3).
During hibernate resume, the 'restore_registers' (via the
'restore_jump_address) in hibernate_asm_32.S is invoked which
restores the contents of most registers. Naturally the resume path benefits
from already being in 32-bit mode, so it does not have to reload the GDT.
It only reloads the cr3 (from restore_cr3) and continues on. Note
that the restoration of the restore image page-tables is done prior to
this.
After the 'restore_registers' it returns and we end up called
restore_processor_state() - where we reload the GDT. The reload of
the GDT is not needed as bootup kernel has already loaded the GDT
which is at the same physical location as the the restored kernel.
Note that the hibernation path assumes the GDT is correct during its
'restore_registers'. The assumption in the code is that the restored
image is the same as saved - meaning we are not trying to restore
an different kernel in the virtual address space of a new kernel.

Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only.
This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory
write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel
base offset, if it has been relocated.
We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the
F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or
not. Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to
be very specific. This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs,
but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver
the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5
processors.

Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to
preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact.
Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away
arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such
environment.
[ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU
updates" may cause a minor performance regression on
bare metal. This patch resolves that performance regression. It is
somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ]

memory-bound workloads will not benefit from higher frequency, where
as compute-bound workloads will. This patch enables this "frequency
sensitivity feedback" to aid the ondemand governor to make better
frequency change decisions by hooking into the powersave bias.

arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c:407:21: warning: ‘val’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
This function quirk is called on a SB400 chipset only anyway so the
distant possibility of a PCI access failing becomes almost impossible
there. Even if it did fail, then something else more serious is the
problem.
So zero-out the variables so that gcc shuts up but do a coarse check
on the PCI accesses at the end and signal whether any of them had an
error. They shouldn't but in case they do, we'll at least know and we
can address it.

However, a look at cmci_rediscover shows that it can be simplified quite
a bit, apart from solving the above issue. It invokes functions that
take spin locks with interrupts disabled, and hence it can run in atomic
context. Also, it is run in the CPU_POST_DEAD phase, so the dying CPU
is already dead and out of the cpu_online_mask. So take these points into
account and simplify the code, and thereby also fix the above issue.

This patch adds support for PEBS Precise Store
which is available on Intel Sandy Bridge and

To use Precise store, the proper PEBS event
must be used: mem_trans_retired:precise_stores.

exported via sysfs can be used directly.

This patch adds support for memory profiling using the
PEBS Load Latency facility.
Load accesses are sampled by HW and the instruction
address, data address, load latency, data source, tlb,
locked information can be saved in the sampling buffer
if using the PERF_SAMPLE_COST (for latency),
PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC types.
To enable PEBS Load Latency, users have to use the
model specific event:
- on NHM/WSM: MEM_INST_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD
- on SNB/IVB: MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD
To make things easier, this patch also exports a generic
alias via sysfs: mem-loads. It export the right event
encoding based on the host CPU and can be used directly
by the perf tool.
Loosely based on Intel's Lin Ming patch posted on LKML
in July 2011.

This patch adds a flags field to each event constraint.
It can be used to store event specific features which can
then later be used by scheduling code or low-level x86 code.
The flags are propagated into event->hw.flags during the
get_event_constraint() call. They are cleared during the
put_event_constraint() call.
This mechanism is going to be used by the PEBS-LL patches.
It avoids defining yet another table to hold event specific

This patch fixes an uninitialized pt_regs struct in drain BTS
function. The pt_regs struct is propagated all the way to the
code_get_segment() function from perf_instruction_pointer()
and may get garbage.
We cannot simply inherit the actual pt_regs from the interrupt
because BTS must be flushed on context-switch or when the
associated event is disabled. And there we do not have a pt_regs
handy.
Setting pt_regs to all zeroes may not be the best option but it
is not clear what else to do given where the drain_bts_buffer()
is called from.
In V2, we move the memset() later in the code to avoid doing it
when we end up returning early without doing the actual BTS
processing. Also dropped the reg.val initialization because it
is redundant with the memset() as suggested by PeterZ.

In 32-bit, __pa_symbol() in CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL accesses kernel data
(e.g. max_low_pfn) that not only hasn't been setup yet in such early
boot phase, but since we are in linear mode, cannot even be detected
as uninitialized.
Thus, use __pa_nodebug() rather than __pa_symbol() to get a global
symbol's physical address.

Currently kprobes check whether the copied instruction modifies
IF (interrupt flag) on each probe hit. This results not only in
introducing overhead but also involving
inat_get_opcode_attribute into the kprobes hot path, and it can
cause an infinite recursive call (and kernel panic in the end).
Actually, since the copied instruction itself can never be modified
on the buffer, it is needless to analyze the instruction on every
probe hit.
To fix this issue, we check it only once when registering probe
and store the result on ainsn->if_modifier.

Commit 1d9d8639c063 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after
suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling
after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the
DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering.
init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU
cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the
early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all
happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single()
ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number
matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead.
This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the
wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

On some new Intel Atom processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is
a feature that the TSC won't stop in S3 state, say the TSC value
won't be reset to 0 after resume. This feature makes TSC a more reliable
clocksource and could benefit the timekeeping code during system
suspend/resume cycle, so add a flag for it.

Every 11 minutes ntp attempts to update the x86 rtc with the current
system time. Currently, the x86 code only updates the rtc if the system
time is within +/-15 minutes of the current value of the rtc. This
was done originally to avoid setting the RTC if the RTC was in localtime
mode (common with Windows dualbooting). Other architectures do a full
synchronization and now that we have better infrastructure to detect
when the RTC is in localtime, there is no reason that x86 should be
software limited to a 30 minute window.
This patch changes the behavior of the kernel to do a full synchronization
(year, month, day, hour, minute, and second) of the rtc when ntp requests
a synchronization between the system time and the rtc.
I've used the RTC library functions in this patchset as they do all the
required bounds checking.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS)
after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked
on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly
by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS
measurement to crash when running on CPU0.
The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore
the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0,
the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on
the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as
stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode.
However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through
user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace.
If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly
exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore
it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs).
As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking
state.
To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state
prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores
the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame.
(May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so,
sorry for the missing credit).

Exceptions handling on context tracking should share common
treatment: on entry we exit user mode if the exception triggered
in that context. Then on exception exit we return to that previous
context.
Generalize this to avoid duplication across archs.
