x86: page.h: move and unify types for pagetable entry definitions

This patch:

1. Defines arch-specific types for the contents of a pagetable entry.
That is, 32-bit entries for 32-bit non-PAE, and 64-bit entries for
32-bit PAE and 64-bit.  However, even though the latter two are the
same size, they're defined with different types in order to retain
compatibility with printk format strings, etc.

2. Defines arch-specific pte_t.  This is different because 32-bit PAE
defines it in two halves, whereas 32-bit PAE and 64-bit define it as a
single entry.  All the other pagetable levels can be defined in a
common way.  This also defines arch-specific pte_val/make_pte functions.

3. Define PAGETABLE_LEVELS for each architecture variation, for later use.

4. Define common pagetable entry accessors in a paravirt-compatible
way. (64-bit does not yet use paravirt-ops in any way).

5. Convert a few instances of using a *_val() as an lvalue where it is
no longer a macro.  There are still places in the 64-bit code which
use pte_val() as an lvalue.

  (x86: move X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC into early cpu feature detection)

are supposed to fix the detection of contant TSC for AMD CPUs.
Unfortunately on x86_64 it does still not work with current x86/mm.
For a Phenom I still get:

  ...
  TSC calibrated against PM_TIMER
  Marking TSC unstable due to TSCs unsynchronized
  time.c: Detected 2288.366 MHz processor.
  ...

We have to set c->x86_power in early_identify_cpu to properly detect
the CONSTANT_TSC bit in early_init_amd.

Attached patch fixes this issue. Following the relevant boot
messages when the fix is used:

  ...
  TSC calibrated against PM_TIMER
  time.c: Detected 2288.279 MHz processor.
  ...
  Initializing CPU#1
  ...
  checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
  ...

  ...

  ...
  Booting processor 3/4 APIC 0x3
  ...
  checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#3]: passed.
  Brought up 4 CPUs
  ...

Patch is against x86/mm (v2.6.24-rc8-672-ga9f7faa).
Please apply.

Set c->x86_power in early_identify_cpu. This ensures that
X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC can properly be set in early_init_amd.

Andi Kleen ddb25f9ac1 x86: don't disable TSC in any C states on AMD Fam10h
The ACPI code currently disables TSC use in any C2 and C3
states. But the AMD Fam10h BKDG documents that the TSC
will never stop in any C states when the CONSTANT_TSC bit is
set. Make this disabling conditional on CONSTANT_TSC
not set on AMD.

I actually think this is true on Intel too for C2 states
on CPUs with p-state invariant TSC, but this needs
further discussions with Len to really confirm :-)

So far it is only enabled on AMD.

Andi Kleen 32c7553f82 x86: remove explicit C3 TSC check on 64bit
Trust the ACPI code to disable TSC instead when C3 is used.

AMD Fam10h does not disable TSC in any C states so the
check was incorrect there anyways after the change
to handle this like Intel on AMD too.

This allows to use the TSC when C3 is disabled in software
(acpi.max_c_state=2), but the BIOS supports it anyways.

Match i386 behaviour.

Andi Kleen 51fc97b935 x86: allow TSC clock source on AMD Fam10h and some cleanup
After a lot of discussions with AMD it turns out that TSC
on Fam10h CPUs is synchronized when the CONSTANT_TSC cpuid bit is set.
Or rather that if there are ever systems where that is not
true it would be their BIOS' task to disable the bit.

So finally use TSC gettimeofday on Fam10h by default.

Or rather it is always used now on CPUs where the AMD
specific CONSTANT_TSC bit is set.

This gives a nice speed bost for gettimeofday() on these systems
which tends to be by far the most common v/syscall.

On a Fam10h system here TSC gtod uses about 20% of the CPU time of
acpi_pm based gtod(). This was measured on 32bit, on 64bit
it is even better because TSC gtod() can use a vsyscall
and stay in ring 3, which acpi_pm doesn't.

The Intel check simply checks for CONSTANT_TSC too without hardcoding
Intel vendor. This is equivalent on 64bit because all 64bit capable Intel
CPUs will have CONSTANT_TSC set.

On Intel there is no CPU supplied CONSTANT_TSC bit currently,
but we synthesize one based on hardcoded knowledge which steppings
have p-state invariant TSC.

So the new logic is now: On CPUs which have the AMD specific
CONSTANT_TSC bit set or on Intel CPUs which are new enough
to be known to have p-state invariant TSC always use
TSC based gettimeofday()

Andi Kleen fde1b3fa94 x86: introduce rdtsc_barrier()
rdtsc_barrier() is a new barrier primitive that stops RDTSC speculation
to avoid races with timer interrupts on other CPUs.

It expands either to LFENCE (for Intel CPUs) or MFENCE (for
AMD CPUs) which stops RDTSC on all currently known microarchitectures
that implement SSE. On CPUs without SSE there is generally no RDTSC
speculation.

Quentin Barnes b506a9d08b x86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch code
When developing the Kprobes arch code for ARM, I ran across some code
found in x86 and s390 Kprobes arch code which I didn't consider as
good as it could be.

Once I figured out what the code was doing, I changed the code
for ARM Kprobes to work the way I felt was more appropriate.
I've tested the code this way in ARM for about a year and would
like to push the same change to the other affected architectures.

The code in question is in kprobe_exceptions_notify() which
does:
====
          /* kprobe_running() needs smp_processor_id() */
          preempt_disable();
          if (kprobe_running() &&
              kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr))
                  ret = NOTIFY_STOP;
          preempt_enable();
====

For the moment, ignore the code having the preempt_disable()/
preempt_enable() pair in it.

The problem is that kprobe_running() needs to call smp_processor_id()
which will assert if preemption is enabled.  That sanity check by
smp_processor_id() makes perfect sense since calling it with preemption
enabled would return an unreliable result.

But the function kprobe_exceptions_notify() can be called from a
context where preemption could be enabled.  If that happens, the
assertion in smp_processor_id() happens and we're dead.  So what
the original author did (speculation on my part!) is put in the
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair to simply defeat the check.

Once I figured out what was going on, I considered this an
inappropriate approach.  If kprobe_exceptions_notify() is called
from a preemptible context, we can't be in a kprobe processing
context at that time anyways since kprobes requires preemption to
already be disabled, so just check for preemption enabled, and if
so, blow out before ever calling kprobe_running().  I wrote the ARM
kprobe code like this:
====
          /* To be potentially processing a kprobe fault and to
           * trust the result from kprobe_running(), we have
           * be non-preemptible. */
          if (!preemptible() && kprobe_running() &&
              kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr))
                  ret = NOTIFY_STOP;
====

The above code has been working fine for ARM Kprobes for a year.
So I changed the x86 code (2.6.24-rc6) to be the same way and ran
the Systemtap tests on that kernel.  As on ARM, Systemtap on x86
comes up with the same test results either way, so it's a neutral
external functional change (as expected).

This issue has been discussed previously on linux-arm-kernel and the
Systemtap mailing lists.  Pointers to the by base for the two
discussions:

Trivial unification of Makefiles for the
x86 specific library part.
Linking order is slightly modified but should be harmless.

Tested doing a defconfig build before and after and saw
no build changes.

It adds almost as many lines as it deletes - bacause
I broke a few lines up fo readability in the Makefile.

Combine the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles in one file.
While doing so link order was (almost) preserved on 32 bit
but on 64 bit link order changed a lot.

Patch was checked with defconfig + allyesconfig builds.
The same .o files were linked in these configurations.

To keep readability of the Makefiles a few Kconfig
symbols was added/modified and it was checked that
they were not used anywhere else.
