When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it. This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP feature is enabled. It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one conditional. Signed-off-by: NH.

Fundamental model of the current Linux kernel is to lazily init and restore FPU instead of restoring the task state during context switch. This changes that fundamental lazy model to the non-lazy model for the processors supporting xsave feature. Reasons driving this model change are: i. Newer processors support optimized state save/restore using xsaveopt and xrstor by tracking the INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch. This is faster than modifying the cr0.TS bit which has serializing semantics. ii. Newer glibc versions use SSE for some of the optimized copy/clear routines. With certain workloads (like boot, kernel-compilation etc), application completes its work with in the first 5 task switches, thus taking upto 5 #DNA traps with the kernel not getting a chance to apply the above mentioned pre-load heuristic. iii. Some xstate features (like AMD's LWP feature) don't honor the cr0.TS bit and thus will not work correctly in the presence of lazy restore. Non-lazy state restore is needed for enabling such features. Some data on a two socket SNB system: * Saved 20K DNA exceptions during boot on a two socket SNB system. * Saved 50K DNA exceptions during kernel-compilation workload. * Improved throughput of the AVX based checksumming function inside the kernel by ~15% as xsave/xrstor is faster than the serializing clts/stts pair. Also now kernel_fpu_begin/end() relies on the patched alternative instructions. So move check_fpu() which uses the kernel_fpu_begin/end() after alternative_instructions().

Some PMUs don't provide a full register set for their sample, specifically 'advanced' PMUs like AMD IBS and Intel PEBS which provide 'better' than regular interrupt accuracy. In this case we use the interrupt regs as basis and over-write some fields (typically IP) with different information. The perf core however uses user_mode() to distinguish user/kernel samples, user_mode() relies on regs->cs. If the interrupt skid pushed us over a boundary the new IP might not be in the same domain as the interrupt. Commit ce5c1fe9 ("perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples") tried to fix this by making the perf core use kernel_ip(). This however is wrong (TM), as pointed out by Linus, since it doesn't allow for VM86 and non-zero based segments in IA32 mode. Therefore, provide a new helper to set the regs->ip field, set_linear_ip(), which massages the regs into a suitable state assuming the provided IP is in fact a linear address. Also modify perf_instruction_pointer() and perf_callchain_user() to deal with segments base offsets.

There are macros that are Intel specific and not x86 generic. Rename them into INTEL_*. This patch removes X86_PMC_IDX_GENERIC and does: $ sed -i -e 's/X86_PMC_MAX_/INTEL_PMC_MAX_/g' \ arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h \ arch/x86/include/asm/perf_event.h \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_p4.c \ arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c $ sed -i -e 's/X86_PMC_IDX_FIXED/INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED/g' \ arch/x86/include/asm/perf_event.h \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_ds.c \ arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c $ sed -i -e 's/X86_PMC_MSK_/INTEL_PMC_MSK_/g' \ arch/x86/include/asm/perf_event.h \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c Signed-off-by: NRobert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1340217996-2254-2-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.comSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Several perf interrupt handlers (PEBS,IBS,BTS) re-write regs->ip but do not update the segment registers. So use an regs->ip based test instead of an regs->cs/regs->flags based test.

Testing show different CPU type(micro architectures and NUMA mode) has different balance points between the TLB flush all and multiple invlpg. And there also has cases the tlb flush change has no any help. This patch give a interface to let x86 vendor developers have a chance to set different shift for different CPU type. like some machine in my hands, balance points is 16 entries on Romely-EP; while it is at 8 entries on Bloomfield NHM-EP; and is 256 on IVB mobile CPU. but on model 15 core2 Xeon using invlpg has nothing help. For untested machine, do a conservative optimization, same as NHM CPU.

For 4KB pages, x86 CPU has 2 or 1 level TLB, first level is data TLB and instruction TLB, second level is shared TLB for both data and instructions. For hupe page TLB, usually there is just one level and seperated by 2MB/4MB and 1GB. Although each levels TLB size is important for performance tuning, but for genernal and rude optimizing, last level TLB entry number is suitable. And in fact, last level TLB always has the biggest entry number. This patch will get the biggest TLB entry number and use it in furture TLB optimizing. Accroding Borislav's suggestion, except tlb_ll[i/d]_* array, other function and data will be released after system boot up. For all kinds of x86 vendor friendly, vendor specific code was moved to its specific files.
