The default sched_clock() implementation is native_sched_clock(). It
contains code to handle non constant frequency TSCs, which creates
overhead for systems with constant frequency TSCs.
The vmware hypervisor guarantees a constant frequency TSC, so
native_sched_clock() is not required and slower than a dedicated function
which operates with one time calculated conversion factors.
Calculate the conversion factors at boot time from the tsc frequency and
install an optimized sched_clock() function via paravirt ops.
The paravirtualized clock can be disabled on the kernel command line with
the new 'no-vmw-sched-clock' option.

The recent changes, which forced the registration of the boot cpu on UP
systems, which do not have ACPI tables, have been fixed for systems w/o
local APIC, but left a wreckage for systems which have neither ACPI nor
mptables, but the CPU has an APIC, e.g. virtualbox.
The boot process crashes in prefill_possible_map() as it wants to register
the boot cpu, which needs to access the local apic, but the local APIC is
not yet mapped.
There is no reason why init_apic_mapping() can't be invoked before
prefill_possible_map(). So instead of playing another silly early mapping
game, as the ACPI/mptables code does, we just move init_apic_mapping()
before the call to prefill_possible_map().
In hindsight, I should have noticed that combination earlier.
Sorry for the churn (also in stable)!

Commit 784d5699ed ("x86: move exports to actual definitions") removed the
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__fentry__) and EXPORT_SYMBOL(mcount) from x8664_ksyms_64.c,
and added EXPORT_SYMBOL(function_hook) in mcount_64.S instead. The problem
is that function_hook isn't a function at all, but a macro that is defined
as either mcount or __fentry__ depending on the support from gcc.
Originally, I thought this was a macro issue, like what __stringify()
is used for. But the problem is a bit deeper. The Makefile.build has
some magic that does post processing of files to create the CRC
bindings. It does some searches for EXPORT_SYMBOL() and because it
finds a macro name and not the actual functions, this causes
function_hook not to be converted into mcount or __fentry__ and they
are missed.
Instead of adding more magic to Makefile.build, just add
EXPORT_SYMBOL() for mcount and __fentry__ where the ifdef is used.
Since this is assembly and not C, it doesn't require being set after
the function is defined.

For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack
values:
...

Stack:

Call Trace:
...
This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed
anymore. It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be
actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses.
Linus says:
"The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be
useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because
stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I
definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having
used them in the last ten+ years.
Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've
likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so
useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above
harder."
This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the
'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.

Printing kernel text addresses in stack dumps is of questionable value,
especially now that address randomization is becoming common.
It can be a security issue because it leaks kernel addresses. It also
affects the usefulness of the stack dump. Linus says:
"I actually spend time cleaning up commit messages in logs, because
useless data that isn't actually information (random hex numbers) is
actively detrimental.
It makes commit logs less legible.
It also makes it harder to parse dumps.
It's not useful. That makes it actively bad.
I probably look at more oops reports than most people. I have not
found the hex numbers useful for the last five years, because they are
just randomized crap.
The stack content thing just makes code scroll off the screen etc, for
example."
The only real downside to removing these addresses is that they can be
used to disambiguate duplicate symbol names. However such cases are
rare, and the context of the stack dump should be enough to be able to
figure it out.
There's now a 'faddr2line' script which can be used to convert a
function address to a file name and line:
$ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60
write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60:
write_sysrq_trigger at drivers/tty/sysrq.c:1098
Or gdb can be used:
$ echo "list *write_sysrq_trigger+0x51" |gdb ~/k/vmlinux |grep "is in"
(gdb) 0xffffffff815b5d83 is in driver_probe_device (/home/jpoimboe/git/linux/drivers/base/dd.c:378).
(But note that when there are duplicate symbol names, gdb will only show
the first symbol it finds. faddr2line is recommended over gdb because
it handles duplicates and it also does function size checking.)
Here's an example of what a stack dump looks like after this change:

Yeah, I know, I know, this is a huuge patch and reviewing it is hard.
Sorry but this is the only way I could think of in which I can rewrite
the microcode patches loading procedure without breaking (knowingly) the
driver.
So maybe this patch is easier to review if one looks at the files after
the patch has been applied instead at the diff. Because then it becomes
pretty obvious:
* The BSP-loading path - load_ucode_bsp() is working independently from
the AP path now and it doesn't save any pointers or patches anymore -
it solely parses the builtin or initrd microcode and applies the patch.
That's it.
This fixes the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY offset fun more solidly.
* The AP-loading path - load_ucode_ap() then goes and scans
builtin/initrd *again* for the microcode patches but it caches them this
time so that we don't have to do that scan on each AP but only once.
This simplifies the code considerably.
Then, when we save the microcode from the initrd/builtin, we go and
add the relevant patches to our own cache. The AMD side did do that
and now the Intel side does it too. So no more pointer copying and
blabla, we save the microcode patches ourselves and are independent from
initrd/builtin.
This whole conversion gives us other benefits like unifying the
initrd parsing into a single function: find_microcode_in_initrd() is
used by both.

Ondrej reported that IRQs stopped working in v4.7 on several
platforms. A typical scenario, from Ondrej's VT82C694X/694X, is:
ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 1 3 4 5 6 7 10 *11 12 14 15)
ACPI: No IRQ available for PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA]
8139too 0000:00:0f.0: PCI INT A: no GSI
We're using PIC routing, so acpi_irq_balance == 0, and LNKA is already
active at IRQ 11. In that case, acpi_pci_link_allocate() only tries
to use the active IRQ (IRQ 11) which also happens to be the SCI.
We should penalize the SCI by PIRQ_PENALTY_PCI_USING, but
irq_get_trigger_type(11) returns something other than
IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW, so we penalize it by PIRQ_PENALTY_ISA_ALWAYS
instead, which makes acpi_pci_link_allocate() assume the IRQ isn't
available and give up.
Add acpi_penalize_sci_irq() so platforms can tell us the SCI IRQ,
trigger, and polarity directly and we don't have to depend on
irq_get_trigger_type().

Now that "continued" lines are no longer needed, we can also remove the
hack of using the empty string (aka KERN_CONT) and replace it with
KERN_DEFAULT.

With frame pointers, when a task is interrupted, its stack is no longer
completely reliable because the function could have been interrupted
before it had a chance to save the previous frame pointer on the stack.
So the caller of the interrupted function could get skipped by a stack
trace.
This is problematic for live patching, which needs to know whether a
stack trace of a sleeping task can be relied upon. There's currently no
way to detect if a sleeping task was interrupted by a page fault
exception or preemption before it went to sleep.
Another issue is that when dumping the stack of an interrupted task, the
unwinder has no way of knowing where the saved pt_regs registers are, so
it can't print them.
This solves those issues by encoding the pt_regs pointer in the frame
pointer on entry from an interrupt or an exception.
This patch also updates the unwinder to be able to decode it, because
otherwise the unwinder would be broken by this change.
Note that this causes a change in the behavior of the unwinder: each
instance of a pt_regs on the stack is now considered a "frame". So
callers of unwind_get_return_address() will now get an occasional
'regs->ip' address that would have previously been skipped over.

The recent introduction of SA_X32/IA32 sa_flags added a check for
user_64bit_mode() into sigaction_compat_abi(). user_64bit_mode() is true
for native 64-bit processes and x32 processes.
Due to that the function returns w/o setting the SA_X32_ABI flag for X32
processes. In consequence the kernel attempts to deliver the signal to the
X32 process in native 64-bit mode causing the process to segfault.
Remove the check, so the actual check for X32 mode which sets the ABI flag
can be reached. There is no side effect for native 64-bit mode.
