To pick up the changes from:

  f36cf386e3fe ("x86/speculation/swapgs: Exclude ATOMs from speculation through SWAPGS")
  be261ffce6f1 ("x86: Remove X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC")
  018ebca8bd70 ("x86/cpufeatures: Enable a new AVX512 CPU feature")

These don't cause any changes in tooling, just silences this perf build
warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h'
  diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h

To clarify, updating those files cause these bits of tools/perf to rebuild:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o
  INSTALL  GTK UI
  LD       /tmp/build/perf/bench/perf-in.o

Those use just:

  $ grep FEATURE tools/arch/x86/lib/mem*.S
  tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:	ALTERNATIVE_2 "jmp memcpy_orig", "", X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, \
  tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:		      "jmp memcpy_erms", X86_FEATURE_ERMS
  tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S:	ALTERNATIVE_2 "jmp memset_orig", "", X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, \
  tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S:		      "jmp memset_erms", X86_FEATURE_ERMS
  $

I.e. none of the feature defines added/removed by the patches above.

Pull x86 cpu-feature updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Rework the Intel model names symbols/macros, which were decades of
   ad-hoc extensions and added random noise. It's now a coherent, easy
   to follow nomenclature.

 - Add new Intel CPU model IDs:
    - "Tiger Lake" desktop and mobile models
    - "Elkhart Lake" model ID
    - and the "Lightning Mountain" variant of Airmont, plus support code

 - Add the new AVX512_VP2INTERSECT instruction to cpufeatures

 - Remove Intel MPX user-visible APIs and the self-tests, because the
   toolchain (gcc) is not supporting it going forward. This is the
   first, lowest-risk phase of MPX removal.

 - Remove X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC

 - Various smaller cleanups and fixes

<title>perf intel-pt: Use shared x86 insn decoder</title>

Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.

Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version.  Objtool has a
similar check.

Committer notes:

Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "&lt;asm/foo.h&gt;" with "foo.h".

This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.

Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.

For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder.  Two of them are in the tools subdir.

The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel.  So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable.  However, we don't need *two* of them.

Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.

<id>urn:sha1:be261ffce6f13229dad50f59c5e491f933d3167f</id>
<content type='text'>
AMD and Intel both have serializing lfence (X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC).
They've both had it for a long time, and AMD has had it enabled in Linux
since Spectre v1 was announced.

Back then, there was a proposal to remove the serializing mfence feature
bit (X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC), since both AMD and Intel have
serializing lfence.  At the time, it was (ahem) speculated that some
hypervisors might not yet support its removal, so it remained for the
time being.

Now a year-and-a-half later, it should be safe to remove.

I asked Andrew Cooper about whether it's still needed:

  So if you're virtualised, you've got no choice in the matter.  lfence
  is either dispatch-serialising or not on AMD, and you won't be able to
  change it.

  Furthermore, you can't accurately tell what state the bit is in, because
  the MSR might not be virtualised at all, or may not reflect the true
  state in hardware.  Worse still, attempting to set the bit may not be
  successful even if there isn't a fault for doing so.

  Xen sets the DE_CFG bit unconditionally, as does Linux by the looks of
  things (see MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE_BIT).  ISTR other hypervisor
  vendors saying the same, but I don't have any information to hand.

  If you are running under a hypervisor which has been updated, then
  lfence will almost certainly be dispatch-serialising in practice, and
  you'll almost certainly see the bit already set in DE_CFG.  If you're
  running under a hypervisor which hasn't been patched since Spectre,
  you've already lost in many more ways.

  I'd argue that X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC is not worth keeping.

So remove it.  This will reduce some code rot, and also make it easier
to hook barrier_nospec() up to a cmdline disable for performance
raisins, without having to need an alternative_3() macro.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-12

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Improve BPF verifier scalability for large programs through two
   optimizations: i) remove verifier states that are not useful in pruning,
   ii) stop walking parentage chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. Combined
   gives approx 20x speedup. Increase limits for accepting large programs
   under root, and add various stress tests, from Alexei.

2) Implement global data support in BPF. This enables static global variables
   for .data, .rodata and .bss sections to be properly handled which allows
   for more natural program development. This also opens up the possibility
   to optimize program workflow by compiling ELFs only once and later only
   rewriting section data before reload, from Daniel and with test cases and
   libbpf refactoring from Joe.

3) Add config option to generate BTF type info for vmlinux as part of the
   kernel build process. DWARF debug info is converted via pahole to BTF.
   Latter relies on libbpf and makes use of BTF deduplication algorithm which
   results in 100x savings compared to DWARF data. Resulting .BTF section is
   typically about 2MB in size, from Andrii.

4) Add BPF verifier support for stack access with variable offset from
   helpers and add various test cases along with it, from Andrey.

5) Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room() growth BPF helper to mark inner MAC header
   so that L2 encapsulation can be used for tc tunnels, from Alan.

6) Add support for input __sk_buff context in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN so that
   users can define a subset of allowed __sk_buff fields that get fed into
   the test program, from Stanislav.

7) Add bpf fs multi-dimensional array tests for BTF test suite and fix up
   various UBSAN warnings in bpftool, from Yonghong.

8) Generate a pkg-config file for libbpf, from Luca.

9) Dump program's BTF id in bpftool, from Prashant.

10) libbpf fix to use smaller BPF log buffer size for AF_XDP's XDP
    program, from Magnus.

11) kallsyms related fixes for the case when symbols are not present in
    BPF selftests and samples, from Daniel

Add the definition for smp_rmb(), smp_wmb(), and smp_mb() to the
tools include infrastructure: this patch adds the implementation
for x86-64 and arm64, and have it fall back as currently is for
other archs which do not have it implemented at this point. The
x86-64 one uses lock + add combination for smp_mb() with address
below red zone.

This is on top of 09d62154f613 ("tools, perf: add and use optimized
ring_buffer_{read_head, write_tail} helpers"), which didn't touch
smp_* barrier implementations. Magnus recently rightfully reported
however that the latter on x86-64 still wrongly falls back to sfence,
lfence and mfence respectively, thus fix that for applications under
tools making use of these to avoid such ugly surprises. The main
header under tools (include/asm/barrier.h) will in that case not
select the fallback implementation.
