This patch removes the redundant sysfs cacheinfo code by reusing
the newly introduced generic cacheinfo infrastructure through the
commit
246246cbde ("drivers: base: support cpu cache information
interface to userspace via sysfs")
The private pointer provided by the cacheinfo is used to implement
the AMD L3 cache-specific attributes.
Note that with v4.0-rc1, commit
513e3d2d11 ("cpumask: always use nr_cpu_ids in formatting and parsing
functions")
in particular changes from long format to shorter one for all cpumasks
sysfs entries. As the consequence of the same, even the shared_cpu_map
in the cacheinfo sysfs was also changed.
This patch neither alters any existing sysfs entries nor their
formating, however since the generic cacheinfo has switched to use the
device attributes instead of the traditional raw kobjects, a directory
named "power" along with its standard attributes are added similar to
any other device.

By the nature of the TEST operation, it is often possible to test
a narrower part of the operand:
"testl $3, mem" -> "testb $3, mem",
"testq $3, %rcx" -> "testb $3, %cl"
This results in shorter instructions, because the TEST instruction
has no sign-entending byte-immediate forms unlike other ALU ops.
Note that this change does not create any LCP (Length-Changing Prefix)
stalls, which happen when adding a 0x66 prefix, which happens when
16-bit immediates are used, which changes such TEST instructions:
[test_opcode] [modrm] [imm32]
to:
[0x66] [test_opcode] [modrm] [imm16]
where [imm16] has a *different length* now: 2 bytes instead of 4.
This confuses the decoder and slows down execution.
REX prefixes were carefully designed to almost never hit this case:
adding REX prefix does not change instruction length except MOVABS
and MOV [addr],RAX instruction.
This patch does not add instructions which would use a 0x66 prefix,
code changes in assembly are:
-48 f7 07 01 00 00 00 testq $0x1,(%rdi)
+f6 07 01 testb $0x1,(%rdi)
-48 f7 c1 01 00 00 00 test $0x1,%rcx
+f6 c1 01 test $0x1,%cl
-48 f7 c1 02 00 00 00 test $0x2,%rcx
+f6 c1 02 test $0x2,%cl
-41 f7 c2 01 00 00 00 test $0x1,%r10d
+41 f6 c2 01 test $0x1,%r10b
-48 f7 c1 04 00 00 00 test $0x4,%rcx
+f6 c1 04 test $0x4,%cl
-48 f7 c1 08 00 00 00 test $0x8,%rcx
+f6 c1 08 test $0x8,%cl
Linus further notes:
"There are no stalls from using 8-bit instruction forms.
Now, changing from 64-bit or 32-bit 'test' instructions to 8-bit ones
*could* cause problems if it ends up having forwarding issues, so that
instead of just forwarding the result, you end up having to wait for
it to be stable in the L1 cache (or possibly the register file). The
forwarding from the store buffer is simplest and most reliable if the
read is done at the exact same address and the exact same size as the
write that gets forwarded.
But that's true only if:
(a) the write was very recent and is still in the write queue. I'm
not sure that's the case here anyway.
(b) on at least most Intel microarchitectures, you have to test a
different byte than the lowest one (so forwarding a 64-bit write
to a 8-bit read ends up working fine, as long as the 8-bit read
is of the low 8 bits of the written data).
A very similar issue *might* show up for registers too, not just
memory writes, if you use 'testb' with a high-byte register (where
instead of forwarding the value from the original producer it needs to
go through the register file and then shifted). But it's mainly a
problem for store buffers.
But afaik, the way Denys changed the test instructions, neither of the
above issues should be true.
The real problem for store buffer forwarding tends to be "write 8
bits, read 32 bits". That can be really surprisingly expensive,
because the read ends up having to wait until the write has hit the
cacheline, and we might talk tens of cycles of latency here. But
"write 32 bits, read the low 8 bits" *should* be fast on pretty much
all x86 chips, afaik."

I broke 32-bit kernels. The implementation of sp0 was correct
as far as I can tell, but sp0 was much weirder on x86_32 than I
realized. It has the following issues:
- Init's sp0 is inconsistent with everything else's: non-init tasks
are offset by 8 bytes. (I have no idea why, and the comment is unhelpful.)
- vm86 does crazy things to sp0.
Fix it up by replacing this_cpu_sp0() with
current_top_of_stack() and using a new percpu variable to track
the top of the stack on x86_32.

This patch does a lot of cleanup in comments and formatting,
but it does not change any code:
- Rename 'save_paranoid' to 'paranoid_entry': this makes naming
similar to its "non-paranoid" sibling, 'error_entry',
and to its counterpart, 'paranoid_exit'.
- Use the same CFI annotation atop 'paranoid_entry' and 'error_entry'.
- Fix irregular indentation of assembler operands.
- Add/fix comments on top of 'paranoid_entry' and 'error_entry'.
- Remove stale comment about "oldrax".
- Make comments about "no swapgs" flag in ebx more prominent.
- Deindent wrongly indented top-level comment atop 'paranoid_exit'.
- Indent wrongly deindented comment inside 'error_entry'.

The 64-bit entry code was using six stack slots less by not
saving/restoring registers which are callee-preserved according
to the C ABI, and was not allocating space for them.
Only when syscalls needed a complete "struct pt_regs" was
the complete area allocated and filled in.
As an additional twist, on interrupt entry a "slightly less
truncated pt_regs" trick is used, to make nested interrupt
stacks easier to unwind.
This proved to be a source of significant obfuscation and subtle
bugs. For example, 'stub_fork' had to pop the return address,
extend the struct, save registers, and push return address back.
Ugly. 'ia32_ptregs_common' pops return address and "returns" via
jmp insn, throwing a wrench into CPU return stack cache.
This patch changes the code to always allocate a complete
"struct pt_regs" on the kernel stack. The saving of registers
is still done lazily.
"Partial pt_regs" trick on interrupt stack is retained.
Macros which manipulate "struct pt_regs" on stack are reworked:
- ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK allocates the structure.
- SAVE_C_REGS saves to it those registers which are clobbered
by C code.
- SAVE_EXTRA_REGS saves to it all other registers.
- Corresponding RESTORE_* and REMOVE_PT_GPREGS_FROM_STACK macros
reverse it.
'ia32_ptregs_common', 'stub_fork' and friends lost their ugly dance
with the return pointer.
LOAD_ARGS32 in ia32entry.S now uses symbolic stack offsets
instead of magic numbers.
'error_entry' and 'save_paranoid' now use SAVE_C_REGS +
SAVE_EXTRA_REGS instead of having it open-coded yet again.
Patch was run-tested: 64-bit executables, 32-bit executables,
strace works.
Timing tests did not show measurable difference in 32-bit
and 64-bit syscalls.

Pull alternative instructions framework improvements from Borislav Petkov:
"A more involved rework of the alternatives framework to be able to
pad instructions and thus make using the alternatives macros more
straightforward and without having to figure out old and new instruction
sizes but have the toolchain figure that out for us.
Furthermore, it optimizes JMPs used so that fetch and decode can be
relieved with smaller versions of the JMPs, where possible.
Some stats:
x86_64 defconfig:
Alternatives sites total: 2478
Total padding added (in Bytes): 6051
The padding is currently done for:
X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS
X86_FEATURE_ERMS
X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC
X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC
X86_FEATURE_SMAP
This is with the latest version of the patchset. Of course, on each
machine the alternatives sites actually being patched are a proper
subset of the total number."
