For v3.3, I added code to use the NMI to stop other cpus in the
panic case. The idea was to make sure all cpus on the system
were definitely halted to help serialize the panic path to
execute the rest of the code on a single cpu.
The main problem it was trying to solve was how to stop a cpu
that was spinning with its irqs disabled. A IPI irq would be
stuck and couldn't get in there, but an NMI could.
Things were great until we had another conversation about some
pstore changes. Because some of the backend pstore still uses
spinlocks to protect the device access, things could get ugly if
a panic happened and we were stuck spinning on a lock.
Now with the NMI shutting down cpus, we could assume no other
cpus were running and just bust the spin lock and proceed.
The counter argument was, well if you do that the backend could
be in a screwed up state and you might not be able to save
anything as a result. If we could have just given the cpu a
little more time to finish things, we could have grabbed the
spin lock cleanly and everything would have been fine.
Well, how do give a cpu a 'little more time' in the panic case?
For the most part you can't without spinning on the lock and
even in that case, how long do you spin for?
So instead of making it ugly in the pstore code, just mimic the
idea that stop_machine had, which is block on an IRQ IPI until
the remote cpu has re-enabled interrupts and left the critical
region. Which is what happens now using REBOOT_IRQ.
Then leave the NMI case for those cpus that are truly stuck
after a short time. This leaves the current behaviour alone and
just handle a corner case. Most systems should never have to
enter the NMI code and if they do, print out a message in case
the NMI itself causes another issue.

This reverts commit 3603a2512f.
Originally I wanted a better hammer to shutdown cpus during
panic. However, this really steps on the toes of various
spinlocks in the panic path. Sometimes it is easier to wait for
the IRQ to become re-enabled to indictate the cpu left the
critical region and then shutdown the cpu.
The next patch moves the NMI addition after the IRQ part. To
make it easier to see the logic of everything, revert this patch
and apply the next simpler patch.

When disabling ibs there might be the case where hardware continuously
generates interrupts. This is described in erratum #420 (Instruction-
Based Sampling Engine May Generate Interrupt that Cannot Be Cleared).
To avoid this we must clear the counter mask first and then clear the
enable bit. This patch implements this.
See Revision Guide for AMD Family 10h Processors, Publication #41322.
Note: We now keep track of the last read ibs config value which is
then used to disable ibs. To update the config value we pass now a
pointer to the functions reading it.

There are cases where the remaining period is smaller than the minimal
possible value. In this case the counter is restarted with the minimal
period. This is of no use as the interrupt handler will trigger
immediately again and most likely hits itself. This biases the
results.
So, if the remaining period is within the min range, we better do not
restart the counter and instead trigger the overflow.

This patch adds support for precise event sampling with IBS. There are
two counting modes to count either cycles or micro-ops. If the
corresponding performance counter events (hw events) are setup with
the precise flag set, the request is redirected to the ibs pmu:
perf record -a -e cpu-cycles:p ... # use ibs op counting cycle count
perf record -a -e r076:p ... # same as -e cpu-cycles:p
perf record -a -e r0C1:p ... # use ibs op counting micro-ops
Each ibs sample contains a linear address that points to the
instruction that was causing the sample to trigger. With ibs we have
skid 0. Thus, ibs supports precise levels 1 and 2. Samples are marked
with the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag set. In rare cases the rip is invalid
when IBS was not able to record the rip correctly. Then the
PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag is cleared and the rip is taken from pt_regs.
V2:
* don't drop samples in precise level 2 if rip is invalid, instead
support the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag

Fixing profiling at a fixed frequency, in this case the freq value and
sample period was setup incorrectly. Since sampling periods are
adjusted we also allow periods that have lower 4 bits set.
Another fix is the setup of the hw counter: If we modify
hwc->sample_period, we also need to update hwc->last_period and
hwc->period_left.

We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

Pull two percpu fixes from Tejun Heo:
"One adds missing KERN_CONT on split printk()s and the other makes
the percpu allocator avoid using PMD_SIZE as atom_size on x86_32.
Using PMD_SIZE led to vmalloc area exhaustion on certain
configurations (x86_32 android) and the only cost of using PAGE_SIZE
instead is static percpu area not being aligned to large page
mapping."
* 'for-3.4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
percpu, x86: don't use PMD_SIZE as embedded atom_size on 32bit
percpu: use KERN_CONT in pcpu_dump_alloc_info()
With the embed percpu first chunk allocator, x86 uses either PAGE_SIZE
or PMD_SIZE for atom_size. PMD_SIZE is used when CPU supports PSE so
that percpu areas are aligned to PMD mappings and possibly allow using
PMD mappings in vmalloc areas in the future. Using larger atom_size
doesn't waste actual memory; however, it does require larger vmalloc
space allocation later on for !first chunks.
With reasonably sized vmalloc area, PMD_SIZE shouldn't be a problem
but x86_32 at this point is anything but reasonable in terms of
address space and using larger atom_size reportedly leads to frequent
percpu allocation failures on certain setups.
As there is no reason to not use PMD_SIZE on x86_64 as vmalloc space
is aplenty and most x86_64 configurations support PSE, fix the issue
by always using PMD_SIZE on x86_64 and PAGE_SIZE on x86_32.
v2: drop cpu_has_pse test and make x86_64 always use PMD_SIZE and
x86_32 PAGE_SIZE as suggested by hpa.

The checks that exist in mwait_usable() for "idle=" kernel
parameters are insufficient. As a result, mwait_usable() can
return 1 even if "idle=nomwait" or "idle=poll" or "idle=halt"
parameters are passed.
Of these cases, incorrect handling of idle=nomwait is a
universal problem since mwait can get used for usual CPU idling.
However the rest of the cases are problematic only during CPU
Hotplug (offline) because, in the CPU offline path, the function
mwait_play_dead() is called, which might result in mwait being
used in the offline CPUs, if mwait_usable() happens to return 1.
Fix these issues by checking for the boot time "idle=" kernel
parameter properly in mwait_usable().
The first issue (usual cpu idling) is demonstrated below:
Before applying the patch (dmesg snippet):

On some architectures (such as vSMP), it is possible to have
CPUs with a different number of cores sharing the same cache.
The current implementation implicitly assumes that all CPUs will
have the same number of cores sharing caches, and as a result,
different CPUs can end up with the same l2/l3 ids.
Fix this by masking out the shared cache bits, instead of
shifting the APICID. By doing so, it is guaranteed that the
generated cache ids are always unique.

While Linux itself has been calling hpet_disable() for quite a
while, having e.g. a secondary (kexec) kernel depend on such
behavior of the primary (crashed) environment is fragile. It
particularly broke until very recently when the primary
environment was Xen based, as that hypervisor did not clear any
of the HPET settings it may have used.
Rather than blindly (and incompletely) clearing certain HPET
settings in hpet_disable(), latch the config register settings
during boot and restore then here.
(Note on the hpet_set_mode() change: Now that we're clearing the
level bit upon initialization, there's no need anymore to do so
here.)
