This reverts most of the f1ed0450a5fac7067590317cbf027f566b6ccbca. After
the commit kvm_apic_set_irq() no longer returns accurate information
about interrupt injection status if injection is done into disabled
APIC. RTC interrupt coalescing tracking relies on the information to be
accurate and cannot recover if it is not.

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,
dirty logging for some memory slot, in which case users cannot expect
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. )

so bit 44 and bit 45 get cut off.
We have problems in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c::generic_get_mtrr().
1. for base, we miss cast base_lo to 64bit before shifting.
Fix that by adding u64 casting.
2. for size, it only can handle 44 bits aka 32bits + page_shift
Fix that with 64bit mask instead of 32bit mask_lo, then range could be
more than 44bits.
At the same time, we need to update size_or_mask for old cpus that does
support cpuid 0x80000008 to get phys_addr. Need to set high 32bits
to all 1s, otherwise will not get correct size for them.
Also fix mtrr_add_page: it should check base and (base + size - 1)
instead of base and size, as base and size could be small but
base + size could bigger enough to be out of boundary. We can
use boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits directly to avoid size_or_mask.
So When are we going to have size more than 44bits? that is 16TiB.
after patch we have right ouput:

Fix from Steven Rostedt.

Originally, irq_domain_associate_many() was designed to unwind the
mapped irqs on a failure of any individual association. However, that
proved to be a problem with certain IRQ controllers. Some of them only
support a subset of irqs, and will fail when attempting to map a
reserved IRQ. In those cases we want to map as many IRQs as possible, so
instead it is better for irq_domain_associate_many() to make a
best-effort attempt to map irqs, but not fail if any or all of them
don't succeed. If a caller really cares about how many irqs got
associated, then it should instead go back and check that all of the
irqs is cares about were mapped.
The original design open-coded the individual association code into the
body of irq_domain_associate_many(), but with no longer needing to
unwind associations, the code becomes simpler to split out
irq_domain_associate() to contain the bulk of the logic, and
irq_domain_associate_many() to be a simple loop wrapper.
This patch also adds a new error check to the associate path to make
sure it isn't called for an irq larger than the controller can handle,
and adds locking so that the irq_domain_mutex is held while setting up a
new association.
v3: Fixup missing change to irq_domain_add_tree()
v2: Fixup x86 warning. irq_domain_associate_many() no longer returns an
error code, but reports errors to the printk log directly. In the
majority of cases we don't actually want to fail if there is a
problem, but rather log it and still try to boot the system.

This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking,
and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If
the sample length times the expected max number of samples
exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate.
This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the
CPU.
This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where
perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my
system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs.
I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's
busted and undebuggable any day.
BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here.
Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing
factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on.
But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine
hanging all the time.

I have a system which is causing all kinds of problems. It has
8 NUMA nodes, and lots of cores that can fight over cachelines.
If things are not working _perfectly_, then NMIs can take longer
than expected.
If we get too many of them backed up to each other, we can
easily end up in a situation where we are doing nothing *but*
running NMIs. The biggest problem, though, is that this happens
_silently_. You might be lucky to get an hrtimer warning, but
most of the time system simply hangs.
This patch should at least give us some warning before we fall
off the cliff. the warnings look like this:
nmi_handle: perf_event_nmi_handler() took: 26095071 ns
The message is triggered whenever we notice the longest NMI
we've seen to date. You can always view and reset this value
via the debugfs interface if you like.

In case CONFIG_X86_MCE_THRESHOLD and CONFIG_X86_THERMAL_VECTOR
are disabled, kernel build fails as follows.
arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `trace_threshold_interrupt':
(.entry.text+0x122b): undefined reference to `smp_trace_threshold_interrupt'
arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `trace_thermal_interrupt':
(.entry.text+0x132b): undefined reference to `smp_trace_thermal_interrupt'
In this case, trace_threshold_interrupt/trace_thermal_interrupt
are not needed to define.
So, add config option checking to their definitions in entry_64.S.

As load_current_idt() is now what is used to update the IDT for the
switches needed for NMI, lockdep debug, and for tracing, it must not
call local_irq_save(). This is because one of the users of this is
lockdep, which does tracing of local_irq_save() and when the debug
trap is hit, we need to update the IDT before tracing interrupts
being disabled. As load_current_idt() is used to do this, calling
local_irq_save() which lockdep traces, defeats the point of calling
load_current_idt().
As interrupts are already disabled when used by lockdep and NMI, the
only other user is tracing that can disable interrupts itself. Simply
have the tracing update disable interrupts before calling load_current_idt()
instead of breaking the other users.
Here's the dump that happened:

twofish cipher"

Instruction (vpgatherdd) that this implementation relied on turned out to be
slow performer on real hardware (i5-4570). The previous 8-way twofish/AVX
implementation is therefore faster and this implementation should be removed.
Converting this implementation to use the same method as in twofish/AVX for
table look-ups would give additional ~3% speed up vs twofish/AVX, but would
hardly be worth of the added code and binary size.

[Purpose of this patch]
As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html
<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.
There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.
The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>
On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.
I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.
[Patch Description]
Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.
So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
- local_timer_vector
- reschedule_vector
- call_function_vector
- call_function_single_vector
- irq_work_entry_vector
- error_apic_vector
- thermal_apic_vector
- threshold_apic_vector
- spurious_apic_vector
- x86_platform_ipi_vector
Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
- Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
- Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
_set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
- Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
- Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
- Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
- On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
is disabled.
In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
used for other purposes.

When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are
simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers,
it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty.
To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and
switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time.
So, let's introduce entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post-
processing of each irq handler.
A way to use them is as follows.
Non-trace irq handler:
smp_irq_handler()
{
entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
__smp_irq_handler(); /*
* common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
* in a vector.
*/
exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */
}
Trace irq_handler:
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
trace_irq_entry(); /* tracepoint for irq entry */
__smp_irq_handler(); /*
* common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
* in a vector.
*/
trace_irq_exit(); /* tracepoint for irq exit */
exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */
}
If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows,
it looks cleaner.
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
trace_irq_entry();
smp_irq_handler();
trace_irq_exit();
}
But it doesn't work.
The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before
trace_irq_enter/exit(), because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before
any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use rcu to synchronize.
As a possible alternative, we may be able to call irq_enter() first as follows
if irq_enter() can nest.
smp_trace_irq_hander()
{
irq_entry();
trace_irq_entry();
smp_irq_handler();
trace_irq_exit();
irq_exit();
}
But it doesn't work, either.
If irq_enter() is nested, it may have a time penalty because it has to check if it
was already called or not. The time penalty is not desired in performance sensitive
paths even if it is tiny.
