54ff7e595d x86: hpet: Work around hardware stupidity
This more or less reverts commits 08be979 (x86: Force HPET
readback_cmp for all ATI chipsets) and 30a564be (x86, hpet: Restrict
read back to affected ATI chipsets) to the status of commit 8da854c
(x86, hpet: Erratum workaround for read after write of HPET
comparator).

The delta to commit 8da854c is mostly comments and the change from
WARN_ONCE to printk_once as we know the call path of this function
already.

This needs really in depth explanation:

First of all the HPET design is a complete failure. Having a counter
compare register which generates an interrupt on matching values
forces the software to do at least one superfluous readback of the
counter register.

While it is nice in theory to program "absolute" time events it is
practically useless because the timer runs at some absurd frequency
which can never be matched to real world units. So we are forced to
calculate a relative delta and this forces a readout of the actual
counter value, adding the delta and programming the compare
register. When the delta is small enough we run into the danger that
we program a compare value which is already in the past. Due to the
compare for equal nature of HPET we need to read back the counter
value after writing the compare rehgister (btw. this is necessary for
absolute timeouts as well) to make sure that we did not miss the timer
event. We try to work around that by setting the minimum delta to a
value which is larger than the theoretical time which elapses between
the counter readout and the compare register write, but that's only
true in theory. A NMI or SMI which hits between the readout and the
write can easily push us beyond that limit. This would result in
waiting for the next HPET timer interrupt until the 32bit wraparound
of the counter happens which takes about 306 seconds.

So we designed the next event function to look like:

   match = read_cnt() + delta;
   write_compare_ref(match);
   return read_cnt() < match ? 0 : -ETIME;

At some point we got into trouble with certain ATI chipsets. Even the
above "safe" procedure failed. The reason was that the write to the
compare register was delayed probably for performance reasons. The
theory was that they wanted to avoid the synchronization of the write
with the HPET clock, which is understandable. So the write does not
hit the compare register directly instead it goes to some intermediate
register which is copied to the real compare register in sync with the
HPET clock. That opens another window for hitting the dreaded "wait
for a wraparound" problem.

To work around that "optimization" we added a read back of the compare
register which either enforced the update of the just written value or
just delayed the readout of the counter enough to avoid the issue. We
unfortunately never got any affirmative info from ATI/AMD about this.

One thing is sure, that we nuked the performance "optimization" that
way completely and I'm pretty sure that the result is worse than
before some HW folks came up with those.

Just for paranoia reasons I added a check whether the read back
compare register value was the same as the value we wrote right
before. That paranoia check triggered a couple of years after it was
added on an Intel ICH9 chipset. Venki added a workaround (commit
8da854c) which was reading the compare register twice when the first
check failed. We considered this to be a penalty in general and
restricted the readback (thus the wasted CPU cycles) to the known to
be affected ATI chipsets.

This turned out to be a utterly wrong decision. 2.6.35 testers
experienced massive problems and finally one of them bisected it down
to commit 30a564be which spured some further investigation.

Finally we got confirmation that the write to the compare register can
be delayed by up to two HPET clock cycles which explains the problems
nicely. All we can do about this is to go back to Venki's initial
workaround in a slightly modified version.

Just for the record I need to say, that all of this could have been
avoided if hardware designers and of course the HPET committee would
have thought about the consequences for a split second. It's out of my
comprehension why designing a working timer is so hard. There are two
ways to achieve it:

 1) Use a counter wrap around aware compare_reg <= counter_reg
    implementation instead of the easy compare_reg == counter_reg

    Downsides:

	- It needs more silicon.

	- It needs a readout of the counter to apply a relative
	  timeout. This is necessary as the counter does not run in
	  any useful (and adjustable) frequency and there is no
	  guarantee that the counter which is used for timer events is
	  the same which is used for reading the actual time (and
	  therefor for calculating the delta)

    Upsides:

	- None

  2) Use a simple down counter for relative timer events

    Downsides:

	- Absolute timeouts are not possible, which is not a problem
	  at all in the context of an OS and the expected
	  max. latencies/jitter (also see Downsides of #1)

   Upsides:

	- It needs less or equal silicon.

	- It works ALWAYS

	- It is way faster than a compare register based solution (One
	  write versus one write plus at least one and up to four
	  reads)

I would not be so grumpy about all of this, if I would not have been
ignored for many years when pointing out these flaws to various
hardware folks. I really hate timers (at least those which seem to be
designed by janitors).

Though finally we got a reasonable explanation plus a solution and I
want to thank all the folks involved in chasing it down and providing
valuable input to this.

b0b2072df3 perf_events: Fix BTS interrupt handling to avoid being dazed by NMI (v2)
Fix a bug introduced with commit de725de and the change in the
meaning of the return value of intel_pmu_handle_irq(). With the
current code, when you are using the BTS, you get 'dazed by NMI'
each time the BTS buffer fills up.

BTS does interrupt on the PMU vector, thus NMI. You need to take
this into account in the return value of the function.

This version fixes initial patch which was missing changes to
perf_event_intel_ds.c.

351e5a703a x86, mtrr: Support mtrr lookup for range spanning across MTRR range
mtrr_type_lookup [start:end] looked up the resultant MTRR type for that
range, based on fixed and all variable MTRR ranges. It did check for multiple
MTRR var ranges overlapping [start:end] and returned the net type.

However, if the [start:end] range spanned across any var MTRR range,
mtrr_type_lookup would return an error return of 0xFE. This was based on
typical usage of mtrr_type_lookup in PAT mapping, where region being
mapped would not normally span across MTRR ranges and also trying
to keep the code simple.

Mark recently reported the problem with this limitation. When there are
two continguous MTRR's of type "writeback" and if there is a memory mapping
over a region starting in one MTRR range and ending in another MTRR range,
such mapping will fallback to "uncached" due to the above limitation.

Change below adds support for such lookups spanning multiple MTRR ranges.
We now have a wrapper mtrr_type_lookup that dynamically splits such a region
into smaller chunks that fit within one MTRR range and does a
__mtrr_type_lookup on it and combine the results later.

a4d4fbc773 x86-64, fpu: Disable preemption when using TS_USEDFPU
Consolidates code and fixes the below race for 64-bit.

commit 9fa2f37bfeb798728241cc4a19578ce6e4258f25
Author: torvalds <torvalds>
Date:   Tue Sep 2 07:37:25 2003 +0000

    Be a lot more careful about TS_USEDFPU and preemption

    We had some races where we testecd (or set) TS_USEDFPU together
    with sequences that depended on the setting (like clearing or
    setting the TS flag in %cr0) and we could be preempted in between,
    which screws up the FPU state, since preemption will itself change
    USEDFPU and the TS flag.

    This makes it a lot more explicit: the "internal" low-level FPU
    functions ("__xxxx_fpu()") all require preemption to be disabled,
    and the exported "real" functions will make sure that is the case.

    One case - in __switch_to() - was switched to the non-preempt-safe
    internal version, since the scheduler itself has already disabled
    preemption.

a4eaf7f146 perf: Rework the PMU methods
Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.

The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.

This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).

It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).

The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:

 1) We disable the counter:
    a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
    b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state

 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

fe8e0c25ca x86, 32-bit: Align percpu area and irq stacks to THREAD_SIZE
The irq stacks, located in the percpu-area, need to be
THREAD_SIZE aligned. Add the infrastucture to align percpu
variables to larger-than-pagesize amounts within the percpu
area, and use it to specify the alignment for the irq stacks.
Also align the percpu area itself to THREAD_SIZE.

This should make irq stacks work with 8K THREAD_SIZE.

592091c0e2 therm_throt.c: Trivial printk message fix for a unsuitable abbreviation of 'thermal'
In unexpected_thermal_interrupt(), "LVT TMR interrupt" is used
in error message.

I don't think TMR is a suitable abbreviation for thermal.
  1.TMR has been used in IA32 Architectures Software Developer's
    Manual, and is the abbreviation for Trigger Mode Register.
  2.There is not an standard abbreviation "TMR" defined for thermal
    in IA32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
  3.Though we could understand it as Thermal Monitor Register, it is
    easy to be misunderstood as a *TIMER* interrupt also.

I think this patch will fix it.

4177c42a63 perf, x86: Try to handle unknown nmis with an enabled PMU
When the PMU is enabled it is valid to have unhandled nmis, two
events could trigger 'simultaneously' raising two back-to-back
NMIs. If the first NMI handles both, the latter will be empty
and daze the CPU.

The solution to avoid an 'unknown nmi' massage in this case was
simply to stop the nmi handler chain when the PMU is enabled by
stating the nmi was handled. This has the drawback that a) we
can not detect unknown nmis anymore, and b) subsequent nmi
handlers are not called.

This patch addresses this. Now, we check this unknown NMI if it
could be a PMU back-to-back NMI. Otherwise we pass it and let
the kernel handle the unknown nmi.

This is a debug log:

 cpu #6, nmi #32333, skip_nmi #32330, handled = 1, time = 1934364430
 cpu #6, nmi #32334, skip_nmi #32330, handled = 1, time = 1934704616

For  back-to-back nmi detection there are the following rules:

The PMU nmi handler was handling more than one counter and no
counter was handled in the subsequent nmi (see [1] and [2]
above).

There is another case if there are two subsequent back-to-back
nmis [3]. The 2nd is detected as back-to-back because the first
handled more than one counter. If the second handles one counter
and the 3rd handles nothing, we drop the 3rd nmi because it
could be a back-to-back nmi.

2e556b5b32 perf, x86: Fix accidentally ack'ing a second event on intel perf counter
During testing of a patch to stop having the perf subsytem
swallow nmis, it was uncovered that Nehalem boxes were randomly
getting unknown nmis when using the perf tool.

Moving the ack'ing of the PMI closer to when we get the status
allows the hardware to properly re-set the PMU bit signaling
another PMI was triggered during the processing of the first
PMI.  This allows the new logic for dealing with the
shortcomings of multiple PMIs to handle the extra NMI by
'eat'ing it later.

Now one can wonder why are we getting a second PMI when we
disable all the PMUs in the begining of the NMI handler to
prevent such a case, for that I do not know.  But I know the fix
below helps deal with this quirk.

Tested on multiple Nehalems where the problem was occuring.
With the patch, the code now loops a second time to handle the
second PMI (whereas before it was not).
