"This series fixes a couple of build failures, and fixes MTRR cleanup
and memory setup on very specific memory maps.
Finally, it fixes triggering backtraces on all CPUs, which was
inadvertently disabled on x86."

This patch fixes broken support of PEBS-LL on SNB-EP/IVB-EP.
For some reason, the LDLAT extra reg definition for snb_ep
showed up as duplicate in the snb table.
This patch moves the definition of LDLAT back into the
snb_ep table.
Thanks to Don Zickus for tracking this one down.

Joshua reported: Commit cd7b304dfaf1 (x86, range: fix missing merge
during add range) broke mtrr cleanup on his setup in 3.9.5.
corresponding commit in upstream is fbe06b7bae.
*BAD*gran_size: 64K chunk_size: 16M num_reg: 6 lose cover RAM: -0G
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59491
So it rejects new var mtrr layout.
It turns out we have some problem with initial mtrr range retrieval.
The current sequence is:
x86_get_mtrr_mem_range
==> bunchs of add_range_with_merge
==> bunchs of subract_range
==> clean_sort_range
add_range_with_merge for [0,1M)
sort_range()
add_range_with_merge could have blank slots, so we can not just
sort only, that will have final result have extra blank slot in head.
So move that calling add_range_with_merge for [0,1M), with that we
could avoid extra clean_sort_range calling.

Several drivers currently use mtrr_add through various #ifdef guards
and/or drm wrappers. The vast majority of them want to add WC MTRRs
on x86 systems and don't actually need the MTRR if PAT (i.e.
ioremap_wc, etc) are working.
arch_phys_wc_add and arch_phys_wc_del are new functions, available
on all architectures and configurations, that add WC MTRRs on x86 if
needed (and handle errors) and do nothing at all otherwise. They're
also easier to use than mtrr_add and mtrr_del, so the call sites can
be simplified.
As an added benefit, this will avoid wasting MTRRs and possibly
warning pointlessly on PAT-supporting systems.

Pull core timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle's merge are:
- Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side
blocking, by Thomas Gleixner.
- Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov:
- allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations
can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code.
- debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements.
- suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom
processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the
TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0
after resume. This can be taken advantage of by the generic via
the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to
recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource
can be used.
- Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many
CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current
simplistic seqfile approach fails. Convert /proc/timer_list to a
proper seq_file with its own iterator.
- Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John
Stultz.
- International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code
internally currently but not exposed externally. Separate the TAI
code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer
and posix-timer code, by John Stultz.
- Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core
timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ
clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents
driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid
spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring
timer will be woken.

Linus found, while extending integer type extension checks in the
sparse static code checker, various fragile patterns of mixed
signed/unsigned 64-bit/32-bit integer use in perf_events_p4.c.
The relevant hardware register ABI is 64 bit wide on 32-bit
kernels as well, so clean it all up a bit, remove unnecessary
casts, and make sure we use 64-bit unsigned integers in these
places.
[ Unfortunately this patch was not tested on real P4 hardware,
those are pretty rare already. If this patch causes any
problems on P4 hardware then please holler ... ]

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
check_hw_exists() has a number of checks which go to two exit
paths: msr_fail and bios_fail. Checks classified as msr_fail
will cause check_hw_exists() to return false, causing the PMU
not to be used; bios_fail checks will only cause a warning to be
printed, but will return true.
The problem is that if there are both msr failures and bios
failures, and the routine hits a bios_fail check first, it will
exit early and return true, not finishing the rest of the msr
checks. If those msrs are in fact broken, it will cause them to
be used erroneously.
In the case of a Xen PV VM, the guest OS has read access to all
the MSRs, but write access is white-listed to supported
features. Writes to unsupported MSRs have no effect. The PMU
MSRs are not (typically) supported, because they are expensive
to save and restore on a VM context switch. One of the
"msr_fail" checks is supposed to detect this circumstance (ether
for Xen or KVM) and disable the harware PMU.
However, on one of my AMD boxen, there is (apparently) a broken
BIOS which triggers one of the bios_fail checks. In particular,
MSR_K7_EVNTSEL0 has the ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_ENABLE bit set.
The guest kernel detects this because it has read access to all
MSRs, and causes it to skip the rest of the checks and try to
use the non-existent hardware PMU. This minimally causes a lot
of useless instruction emulation and Xen console spam; it may
cause other issues with the watchdog as well.
This changset causes check_hw_exists() to go through all of the
msr checks, failing and returning false if any of them fail.
This makes sure that a guest running under Xen without a virtual
PMU will detect that there is no functioning PMU and not attempt
to use it.
This problem affects kernels as far back as 3.2, and should thus
be considered for backport.

The valid mask for both offcore_response_0 and
offcore_response_1 was wrong for SNB/SNB-EP,
IVB/IVB-EP. It was possible to write to
reserved bit and cause a GP fault crashing
the kernel.
This patch fixes the problem by correctly marking the
reserved bits in the valid mask for all the processors
mentioned above.
A distinction between desktop and server parts is introduced
because bits 24-30 are only available on the server parts.
This version of the patch is just a rebase to perf/urgent tree
and should apply to older kernels as well.

The idea with those routines is to slowly phase them out and not call
them on anything else besides K8. They even have a check for that which,
when called too early, fails. Let me explain:
It gets the cpuinfo_x86 pointer from the per_cpu array and when this
happens for cpu0, before its boot_cpu_data has been copied back to the
per_cpu array in smp_store_boot_cpu_info(), we get an empty struct and
thus the check fails.
Use boot_cpu_data directly instead.

Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only.
This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory
write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel
base offset, if it has been relocated.
We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the
F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or
not. Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to
be very specific. This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs,
but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver
the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5
processors.

Future AMD processors, starting with Family 16h, can provide software
with feedback on how the workload may respond to frequency change --
memory-bound workloads will not benefit from higher frequency, where
as compute-bound workloads will. This patch enables this "frequency
sensitivity feedback" to aid the ondemand governor to make better
frequency change decisions by hooking into the powersave bias.

However, a look at cmci_rediscover shows that it can be simplified quite
a bit, apart from solving the above issue. It invokes functions that
take spin locks with interrupts disabled, and hence it can run in atomic
context. Also, it is run in the CPU_POST_DEAD phase, so the dying CPU
is already dead and out of the cpu_online_mask. So take these points into
account and simplify the code, and thereby also fix the above issue.

Convert AMD erratum 400 to the bug infrastructure. Then, retract all
exports for modules since they're not needed now and make the AMD
erratum checking machinery local to amd.c. Use forward declarations to
avoid shuffling too much code around needlessly.
