f619b3d842 x86, cacheinfo: Remove NUMA dependency, fix for AMD Fam10h rev D1
The show/store_cache_disable routines depend unnecessarily on NUMA's
cpu_to_node and the disabling of cache indices broke when !CONFIG_NUMA.
Remove that dependency by using a helper which is always correct.

While at it, enable L3 Cache Index disable on rev D1 Istanbuls which
sport the feature too.

447a194b39 perf_events, x86: Fix bug in hw_perf_enable()
We cannot assume that because hwc->idx == assign[i], we can avoid
reprogramming the counter in hw_perf_enable().

The event may have been scheduled out and another event may have been
programmed into this counter. Thus, we need a more robust way of
verifying if the counter still contains config/data related to an event.

This patch adds a generation number to each counter on each cpu. Using
this mechanism we can verify reliabilty whether the content of a counter
corresponds to an event.

3b9cfc0a99 x86, mtrr: Constify struct mtrr_ops
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

1da53e0230 perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event scheduling
This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU
registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group.

The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each
event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e.,
works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any
counter.

Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via
this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic.

The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling
algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open().

The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running
the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual
assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is
implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

339ce1a4dc perf: Fix inconsistency between IP and callchain sampling
When running perf across all cpus with backtracing (-a -g), sometimes we
get samples without associated backtraces:

    23.44%         init  [kernel]                     [k] restore
    11.46%         init                       eeba0c  [k] 0x00000000eeba0c
     6.77%      swapper  [kernel]                     [k] .perf_ctx_adjust_freq
     5.73%         init  [kernel]                     [k] .__trace_hcall_entry
     4.69%         perf  libc-2.9.so                  [.] 0x0000000006bb8c
                       |
                       |--11.11%-- 0xfffa941bbbc

It turns out the backtrace code has a check for the idle task and the IP
sampling does not. This creates problems when profiling an interrupt
heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces
for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload).

Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never
happen so remove that too.

Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top
of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.

0f1d683fb3 [CPUFREQ] Processor Clocking Control interface driver
Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the BIOS and OSPM.

from a logical CPU, and the BIOS will achieve that frequency transparently.

This patch introduces driver support for PCC. OSPM uses the PCC driver to
communicate with the BIOS via the PCC interface.

There is a Documentation file that provides a link to the PCC
Specification, and also provides a summary of the PCC interface.

Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. However,
any platform whose BIOS implements the PCC Specification, can utilize this
driver.

V2 --> V1 changes (based on Dominik's suggestions):
- Removed the dependency on CPU_FREQ_TABLE
- "cpufreq_stats" will no longer PANIC. Actually, it will not load anymore
because it is not applicable.
- Removed the sanity check for target frequency in the ->target routine.

NOTE: A patch to sanitize the target frequency requested by "ondemand" is
needed to ensure that the target freq < policy->min.

Can this driver be queued up for the 2.6.33 tree?

557a701c16 [CPUFREQ] Fix use after free of struct powernow_k8_data
Easy fix for a regression introduced in 2.6.31.

On managed CPUs the cpufreq.c core will call driver->exit(cpu) on the
managed cpus and powernow_k8 will free the core's data.

Later driver->get(cpu) function might get called trying to read out the
current freq of a managed cpu and the NULL pointer check does not work on
the freed object -> better set it to NULL.

->get() is unsigned and must return 0 as invalid frequency.

0fb8ee48d9 perf: Drop useless check for ignored frame
The check that ignores the debug and nmi stack frames is useless
now that we have a frame pointer that makes us start at the
right place. We don't anymore have to deal with these.

2ca49b2fcf x86: Macroise x86 cache descriptors
Use a macro to define the cache sizes when cachesize > 1 MB.

This is less typing, and less prone to introducing bugs like we
saw in e02e0e1a13, and means we
don't have to do maths when adding new non-power-of-2 updates
like those seen recently.

48b5ba9cc9 perf: Pass appropriate frame pointer to dump_trace()
Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path
to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace.

Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the
callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because
we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before
retrieving the interrupted point.

We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the
captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.

4a28395d72 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c: avoid cross-CPU interrupts by using smp_call_function_any()
Presently acpi-cpufreq will perform the MSR read on the first CPU in the
mask.  That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU.
Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
rdmsr on the current CPU.

So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), which will perform the
call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).

6c56ccecf0 x86: Reenable TSC sync check at boot, even with NONSTOP_TSC
Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.

But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.

So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.

This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.
