return tracer
This patch adds the support for dynamic tracing on the function return tracer.
The whole difference with normal dynamic function tracing is that we don't need
to hook on a particular callback. The only pro that we want is to nop or set
dynamically the calls to ftrace_caller (which is ftrace_return_caller here).
Some security checks ensure that we are not trying to launch dynamic tracing for
return tracing while normal function tracing is already running.
An example of trace with getnstimeofday set as a filter:
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (2283 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1396 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1825 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1426 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1464 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1524 ns)

Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations
Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not
have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction
between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not
flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures
have.
Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance
that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module
load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the
larger jump into core kernel code.
The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks
all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what
it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying
module trampolines.
This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and
the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code:
ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into
a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the
module struct if called by module init)
ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should
be a nop into a caller to addr.
The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture
can add any special attributes to each call site record.

Impact: remove spinlocks and irq disabling in function return tracer.
I've tried to figure out all of the race condition that could happen
when the tracer pushes or pops a return address trace to/from the
current thread_info.
Theory:
_ One thread can only execute on one cpu at a time. So this code
doesn't need to be SMP-safe. Just drop the spinlock.
_ The only race could happen between the current thread and an
interrupt. If an interrupt is raised, it will increase the index of
the return stack storage and then execute until the end of the
tracing to finally free the index it used. We don't need to disable
irqs.
This is theorical. In practice, I've tested it with a two-core SMP and
had no problem at all. Perhaps -tip testing could confirm it.

Impact: new unlikely/likely profiler
Andrew Morton recently suggested having an in-kernel way to profile
likely and unlikely macros. This patch achieves that goal.
When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached
to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition
are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by:
/debugfs/tracing/profile_likely - All likely markers
/debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely - All unlikely markers.

As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking
the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits
that were more than 25%.
Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton
showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up
the following ideas from:
1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values.
2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers.
3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely
annotations from vsyscall_64.c.
Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar
for their feed back on this patch.
(*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls
(a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

the [parent_replaced] is used in an =rm fashion, so that constraint

Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing
Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.
This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.
The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.
Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.
For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.

Some functions that may be called from this handler require that
interrupts are disabled. Also, combining IRQF_DISABLED and
IRQF_SHARED does not reliably disable interrupts in a handler, so
remove IRQF_SHARED from the irq flags (this irq is not shared anyway).

sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling
variant of __cycles_2_ns().
Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already.

This reverts commit c7ffa6c26277b403920e2255d10df849bd613380.
the assumptio of this change was that this would not break
any existing machine. Andrey Borzenkov reported troubles with
the ACPI reboot method: the system would hang on reboot, necessiating
a power cycle. Probably more systems are affected as well.
Also, there are patches queued up for v2.6.29 to disable virtualization
on emergency_restart() - which was the original motivation of
this change.

Impact: fix rare x2apic hang
On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing
semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some
memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the
IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode.
Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI.

Impact: quick start and stop of function tracer
This patch adds a way to disable the function tracer quickly without
the need to run kstop_machine. It adds a new variable called
function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount
when set. This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion
like preempt_disable().
It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing
fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine.
The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs
that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount
arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code.
x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this.

Impact: fix boot hang on 32-bit systems with more than 224 IO-APIC pins
On some 32-bit systems with a lot of IO-APICs probe_nr_irqs() can
return a value larger than NR_IRQS. This will lead to probe_irq_on()
overrunning the irq_desc array.
I hit this when running net-next-2.6 (close to 2.6.28-rc3) on a
Supermicro dual Xeon system. NR_IRQS is 224 but probe_nr_irqs() detects
5 IOAPICs and returns 240. Here are the log messages:

This makes the late e820 resources use 'insert_resource_expand_to_fit()'
instead of doing a 'reserve_region_with_split()', and also avoids
marking them as IORESOURCE_BUSY.
This results in us being perfectly happy to use pre-existing PCI
resources even if they were marked as being in a reserved region, while
still avoiding any _new_ allocations in the reserved regions. It also
makes for a simpler and more accurate resource tree.
Example resource allocation from Jonathan Corbet, who has firmware that
has an e820 reserved entry that covered a big range (e0000000-fed003ff),
and that had various PCI resources in it set up by firmware.
With old kernels, the reserved range would force us to re-allocate all
pre-existing PCI resources, and his reserved range would end up looking
like this:
e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
where only the pre-allocated special regions (IOAPIC and HPET) were kept
around.
With 2.6.28-rc2, which uses 'reserve_region_with_split()', Jonathan's
resource tree looked like this:
e0000000-fe7fffff : reserved
fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
fe800000-fe8fffff : reserved
fe900000-fe9d9aff : reserved
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : reserved
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : reserved
fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
fe9da000-fe9dafff : reserved
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : reserved
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : reserved
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : reserved
fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
fea00000-fea7ffff : reserved
fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
fea80000-feafffff : reserved
feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
feb00000-febfffff : reserved
fec00000-fed003ff : reserved
fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
and because the reserved entry had been split and moved into the
individual resources, and because it used the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag, the
drivers that actually wanted to _use_ those resources couldn't actually
attach to them:
e1000e 0000:00:19.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9e0000-0xfe9fffff]
HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9dc000-0xfe9dffff]
with this patch, the resource tree instead becomes
e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3

| x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu array
We've had an extra field in cpuinfo_x86 which is cpu_index.
Unfortunately, voyager has never initialised this, although the only
noticeable impact seems to be that /proc/cpuinfo shows all zeros for
the processor ids.
Anyway, fix this by initialising the boot CPU properly and setting the
index when the secondaries update.

Impact: fix crashes that can occur in NMI handlers, if their code is modified
Modifying code is something that needs special care. On SMP boxes,
if code that is being modified is also being executed on another CPU,
that CPU will have undefined results.
The dynamic ftrace uses kstop_machine to make the system act like a
uniprocessor system. But this does not address NMIs, that can still
run on other CPUs.
One approach to handle this is to make all code that are used by NMIs
not be traced. But NMIs can call notifiers that spread throughout the
kernel and this will be very hard to maintain, and the chance of missing
a function is very high.
The approach that this patch takes is to have the NMIs modify the code
if the modification is taking place. The way this works is that just
writing to code executing on another CPU is not harmful if what is
written is the same as what exists.
Two buffers are used: an IP buffer and a "code" buffer.
The steps that the patcher takes are:
1) Put in the instruction pointer into the IP buffer
and the new code into the "code" buffer.
2) Set a flag that says we are modifying code
3) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
4) Write the code
5) clear the flag.
6) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
If an NMI is executed, it will also write the pending code.
Multiple writes are OK, because what is being written is the same.
Then the patcher must wait for all running NMIs to finish before
going to the next line that must be patched.
This is basically the RCU approach to code modification.
Thanks to Ingo Molnar for suggesting the idea, and to Arjan van de Ven
for his guidence on what is safe and what is not.

Impact: fix AMD Family 11h boot hangs / USB device problems
The AMD Fam11h CPUs have a K8 northbridge. This northbridge is different
from other family's because it lacks GART support (as I just learned).
But the kernel implicitly expects a GART if it finds an AMD northbridge.
Fix this by removing the Fam11h northbridge id from the scan list of K8
northbridges. This patch also changes the message in the GART driver
about missing K8 northbridges to tell that the GART is missing which is
the correct information in this case.

Impact: fix kdump crash on 32-bit sparsemem kernels
Since linux-2.6.27, kdump has failed on i386 sparsemem kernel.
1st-kernel gets a panic just before switching to 2nd-kernel.
The cause is that a kernel accesses invalid mem_section by
page_to_pfn(image->swap_page) at machine_kexec().
image->swap_page is allocated if kexec for hibernation, but
it is not allocated if kdump. So if kdump, a kernel should
not access the mem_section corresponding to image->swap_page.
The attached patch fixes this invalid access.

Impact: avoid section mismatch warning, clean up
The dynamic ftrace determines which nop is safe to use at start up.
When it finds a safe nop for patching, it sets a pointer called ftrace_nop
to point to the code. All call sites are then patched to this nop.
Later, when tracing is turned on, this ftrace_nop variable is again used
to compare the location to make sure it is a nop before we update it to
an mcount call. If this fails just once, a warning is printed and ftrace
is disabled.
Rakib Mullick noted that the code that sets up the nop is a .init section
where as the nop itself is in the .text section. This is needed because
the nop is used later on after boot up. The problem is that the test of the
nop jumps back to the setup code and causes a "section mismatch" warning.
Rakib first recommended to convert the nop to .init.text, but as stated
above, this would fail since that text is used later.
The real solution is to extend Rabik's patch, and to make the ftrace_nop
into an array, and just save the code from the assembly to this array.
Now the section can stay as an init section, and we have a nop to use
later on.

free_all_bootmem() <--- discard of bootmem
rest_init()
kernel_init()
smp_prepare_cpus()
native_smp_prepare_cpus()
uv_system_init() <--- uses alloc_bootmem_pages()
