Update of TLB shootdown code for UV3.
Kernel function native_flush_tlb_others() calls
uv_flush_tlb_others() on UV to invalidate tlb page definitions
on remote cpus. The UV systems have a hardware 'broadcast assist
unit' which can be used to broadcast shootdown messages to all
cpu's of selected nodes.
The behavior of the BAU has changed only slightly with UV3:
- UV3 is recognized with is_uv3_hub().
- UV2 functions and structures (uv2_xxx) are in most cases
simply renamed to uv2_3_xxx.
- Some UV2 error workarounds are not needed for UV3.

... instead of naked numbers.
Stuff in sysrq.c used to set it to 8 which is supposed to mean above
default level so set it to DEBUG instead as we're terminating/killing all
tasks and we want to be verbose there.
Also, correct the check in x86_64_start_kernel which should be >= as
we're clearly issuing the string there for all debug levels, not only
the magical 10.

No functional change. The request to allocate the irq above
NR_IRQS_LEGACY is completely pointless as the implementation enforces
that the dynamic allocations are above the GSI interrupts, which
includes the legacy PIT irqs.
This does not replace the requirement to move x86 to irq domains, but
it limits the mess to some degree.

We really only need one phys and one virt function call, and then only
one assembly function to make firmware calls.
Since we are not using the C type system anyway, we're not really losing
much by deleting the macros apart from no longer having a check that
we are passing the correct number of parameters. The lack of duplicated
code seems like a worthwhile trade-off.

Fix UV call into kgdb to depend only on whether KGDB is defined
and not both KGDB and KDB. This allows the power nmi command to
use the gdb remote connection if enabled. Note new action of
'kgdb' needs to be set as well to indicate user wants to wait
for gdb to be connected. If it's set to 'kdb' then an error
message is displayed if KDB is not configured.
Also note that if both KGDB and KDB are enabled, then the action
of 'kgdb' or 'kdb' has no affect on which is used. See the KGDB
documentation for further information.

boot option is used
The SGI UV tlb shootdown code panics the system with a NULL
pointer deference if 'nobau' is specified on the boot
commandline.
uv_flush_tlb_other() gets called for every flush, whether the
BAU is disabled or not. It should not be keeping the s_enters
statistic while the BAU is disabled.
The panic occurs because during initialization
init_per_cpu_tunables() does not set the bcp->statp pointer if
'nobau' was specified.

Consider a kernel crash in a module, simulated the following way:
static int my_init(void)
{
char *map = (void *)0x5;
*map = 3;
return 0;
}
module_init(my_init);
When we turn off FRAME_POINTERs, the very first instruction in
that function causes a BUG. The problem is that we print IP in
the BUG report using %pB (from printk_address). And %pB
decrements the pointer by one to fix printing addresses of
functions with tail calls.
This was added in commit 71f9e59800e5ad4 ("x86, dumpstack: Use
%pB format specifier for stack trace") to fix the call stack
printouts.
So instead of correct output:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa01ac000>] my_init+0x0/0x10 [pb173]
We get:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa0152000>] 0xffffffffa0151fff
To fix that, we use %pS only for stack addresses printouts (via
newly added printk_stack_address) and %pB for regs->ip (via
printk_address). I.e. we revert to the old behaviour for all
except call stacks. And since from all those reliable is 1, we
remove that parameter from printk_address.

This reverts commit 8eba18428ac926f436064ac281e76d36d51bd631.
uv_trace() is not used by anything, nor is uv_trace_nmi_func, nor
uv_trace_func.
That's not how we do instrumentation code in the kernel: we add
tracepoints, printk()s, etc. so that everyone not just those with
magic kernel modules can debug a system.
So remove this unused (and misguied) piece of code.

This patch restores the capability to enter KDB (and KGDB) from
the UV NMI handler. This is needed because the UV system
console is not capable of sending the 'break' signal to the
serial console port. It is also useful when the kernel is hung
in such a way that it isn't responding to normal external I/O,
so sending 'g' to sysreq-trigger does not work either.
Another benefit of the external NMI command is that all the cpus
receive the NMI signal at roughly the same time so they are more
closely aligned timewise.
It utilizes the newly added kgdb_nmicallin function to gain
entry to KGDB/KDB by the master. The slaves still enter via the
standard kgdb_nmicallback function. It also uses the new
'send_ready' pointer to tell KGDB/KDB to signal the slaves when
to proceed into the KGDB slave loop.
It is enabled when the nmi action is set to "kdb" and the kernel
is built with CONFIG_KDB enabled. Note that if kgdb is
connected that interface will be used instead.

The standard NMI handler dumps the states of all the cpus. This
includes a full register dump and stack trace. This can be way
more information than what is needed. This patch adds a
"summary" dump that is basically a form of the "ps" command. It
includes the symbolic IP address as well as the command field
and basic process information.
It is enabled when the nmi action is changed to "ips".

The current UV NMI handler has not been updated for the changes
in the system NMI handler and the perf operations. The UV NMI
handler reads an MMR in the UV Hub to check to see if the NMI
event was caused by the external 'system NMI' that the operator
can initiate on the System Mgmt Controller.
The problem arises when the perf tools are running, causing
millions of perf events per second on very large CPU count
systems. Previously this was okay because the perf NMI handler
ran at a higher priority on the NMI call chain and if the NMI
was a perf event, it would stop calling other NMI handlers
remaining on the NMI call chain.
Now the system NMI handler calls all the handlers on the NMI
call chain including the UV NMI handler. This causes the UV NMI
handler to read the MMRs at the same millions per second rate.
This can lead to significant performance loss and possible
system failures. It also can cause thousands of 'Dazed and
Confused' messages being sent to the system console. This
effectively makes perf tools unusable on UV systems.
To avoid this excessive overhead when perf tools are running,
this code has been optimized to minimize reading of the MMRs as
much as possible, by moving to the NMI_UNKNOWN notifier chain.
This chain is called only when all the users on the standard
NMI_LOCAL call chain have been called and none of them have
claimed this NMI.
There is an exception where the NMI_LOCAL notifier chain is
used. When the perf tools are in use, it's possible that the UV
NMI was captured by some other NMI handler and then either
ignored or mistakenly processed as a perf event. We set a
per_cpu ('ping') flag for those CPUs that ignored the initial
NMI, and then send them an IPI NMI signal. The NMI_LOCAL
handler on each cpu does not need to read the MMR, but instead
checks the in memory flag indicating it was pinged. There are
two module variables, 'ping_count' indicating how many requested
NMI events occurred, and 'ping_misses' indicating how many stray
NMI events. These most likely are perf events so it shows the
overhead of the perf NMI interrupts and how many MMR reads were avoided.
This patch also minimizes the reads of the MMRs by having the
first cpu entering the NMI handler on each node set a per HUB
in-memory atomic value. (Having a per HUB value avoids sending
lock traffic over NumaLink.) Both types of UV NMIs from the SMI
layer are supported.

This patch moves the UV NMI support from the x2apic file to a
new separate uv_nmi.c file in preparation for the next sequence
of patches. It prevents upcoming bloat of the x2apic file, and
has the added benefit of putting the upcoming /sys/module
parameters under the name 'uv_nmi' instead of 'x2apic_uv_x',
which was obscure.

The flush tlb optimization code has logical issue on UV
platform. It doesn't flush the full range at all, since it
simply ignores its 'end' parameter (and hence also the "all"
indicator) in uv_flush_tlb_others() function.
Cliff's notes:
| I tested the patch on a UV. It has the effect of either
| clearing 1 or all TLBs in a cpu. I added some debugging to
| test for the cases when clearing all TLBs is overkill, and in
| practice it happens very seldom.

"UV2 BAU productization fixes.
The BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) is SGI's fancy out of line way on UV
hardware to do TLB flushes, instead of the normal APIC IPI methods.
The commits here fix / work around hangs in their latest hardware
iteration (UV2).
My understanding is that the main purpose of the out of line
signalling channel is to improve scalability: the UV APIC hardware
glue does not handle broadcasting to many CPUs very well, and this
matters most for TLB shootdowns.
[ I don't agree with all aspects of the current approach: in hindsight
it would have been better to link the BAU at the IPI/APIC driver
level instead of the TLB shootdown level, where TLB flushes are
really just one of the uses of broadcast SMP messages. Doing that
would improve scalability in some other ways and it would also
remove a few uglies from the TLB path. It would also be nice to
push more is_uv_system() tests into proper x86_init or x86_platform
callbacks. Cliff? ]"

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.
Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP

On SGI's UV2 the BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) driver can hang
under a heavy load. To cure this:
- Disable the UV2 extended status mode (see UV2_EXT_SHFT), as
this mode changes BAU behavior in more ways then just delivering
an extra bit of status. Revert status to just two meaningful bits,
like UV1.
- Use no IPI-style resets on UV2. Just give up the request for
whatever the reason it failed and let it be accomplished with
the legacy IPI method.
- Use no alternate sending descriptor (the former UV2 workaround
bcp->using_desc and handle_uv2_busy() stuff). Just disable the
use of the BAU for a period of time in favor of the legacy IPI
method when the h/w bug leaves a descriptor busy.
-- new tunable: giveup_limit determines the threshold at which a hub is
so plugged that it should do all requests with the legacy IPI method for a
period of time
-- generalize disable_for_congestion() (renamed disable_for_period()) for
use whenever a hub should avoid using the BAU for a period of time
Also:
- Fix find_another_by_swack(), which is part of the UV2 bug workaround
- Correct and clarify the statistics (new stats s_overipilimit, s_giveuplimit,
s_enters, s_ipifordisabled, s_plugged, s_congested)

This patch enables the BAU to be turned on or off dynamically.
echo "on" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics
echo "off" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics
The system may be booted with or without the nobau option.
Whether the system currently has the BAU off can be seen in
the /proc file -- normally with the baustats script.
Each cpu will have a 1 in the bauoff field if the BAU was turned
off, so baustats will give a count of cpus that have it off.

Correct the calculation of a destination timeout period, which
is used to distinguish between a destination timeout and the
situation where all the target software ack resources are full
and a request is returned immediately.
The problem is that integer arithmetic was overflowing, yielding
a very large result.
Without this fix destination timeouts are identified as resource
'plugged' events and an ipi method of resource releasing is
unnecessarily employed.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
for selective broadcast.
But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

Current cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
implementations have few shortcomings:
1. A value returned by cpu_mask_to_apicid() is written to
hardware registers unconditionally. Should BAD_APICID get ever
returned it will be written to a hardware too. But the value of
BAD_APICID is not universal across all hardware in all modes and
might cause unexpected results, i.e. interrupts might get routed
to CPUs that are not configured to receive it.
2. Because the value of BAD_APICID is not universal it is
counter- intuitive to return it for a hardware where it does not
make sense (i.e. x2apic).
3. cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operation is thought as an
complement to cpu_mask_to_apicid() that only applies a AND mask
on top of a cpumask being passed. Yet, as consequence of 18374d8
commit the two operations are inconsistent in that of:
cpu_mask_to_apicid() should not get a offline CPU with the cpumask
cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() should not fail and return BAD_APICID
These limitations are impossible to realize just from looking at
the operations prototypes.
Most of these shortcomings are resolved by returning a error
code instead of BAD_APICID. As the result, faults are reported
back early rather than possibilities to cause a unexpected
behaviour exist (in case of [1]).
The only exception is setup_timer_IRQ0_pin() routine. Although
obviously controversial to this fix, its existing behaviour is
preserved to not break the fragile check_timer() and would
better addressed in a separate fix.

Lower the rating of the UV rtc clocksource to just below that of
the tsc, to improve performance.
Reading the tsc clocksource has lower latency than reading the
rtc, so favor it in situations where it is synchronized and
stable. When the tsc is unsynchronized, the rtc needs to be the
chosen clocksource.

This patch implements a workaround for a UV2 hardware bug.
The bug is a non-atomic update of a memory-mapped register. When
hardware message delivery and software message acknowledge occur
simultaneously the pending message acknowledge for the arriving
message may be lost. This causes the sender's message status to
stay busy.
Part of the workaround is to not acknowledge a completed message
until it is verified that no other message is actually using the
resource that is mistakenly recorded in the completed message.
Part of the workaround is to test for long elapsed time in such
a busy condition, then handle it by using a spare sending
descriptor. The stay-busy condition is eventually timed out by
hardware, and then the original sending descriptor can be
re-used. Most of that logic change is in keeping track of the
current descriptor and the state of the spares.
The occurrences of the workaround are added to the BAU
statistics.
