Introduce fpu__copy() and use it in arch_dup_task_struct(),
thus moving another chunk of FPU logic to fpu/core.c.

This code was historically in process.c, now we have FPU core internals in
fpu/core.c instead - move it there.

flush_thread() open codes a lot of FPU internals - create a separate
function for it in fpu/core.c.
Turns out that this does not hurt performance:
text data bss dec hex filename
11843039 1884440 1130496 14857975 e2b6f7 vmlinux.before
11843039 1884440 1130496 14857975 e2b6f7 vmlinux.after
and since this is a slowpath clarity comes first anyway.
We can reconsider inlining decisions after the FPU code has been cleaned up.

Use fpstate_free() directly to manage FPU state.
Only process.c was using this method, so this is a speedup as well,
as it removes the extra function call and related clobbers.

Fix a minor header file dependency bug in asm/fpu-internal.h: it
relies on i387.h but does not include it. All users of fpu-internal.h
included it explicitly.
Also remove unnecessary includes, to reduce compilation time.
This also makes it easier to use it as a standalone header file
for FPU internals, such as an upcoming C module in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/.

Most init_fpu() users don't want the register-saving aspect of the
function, they are calling it for 'current' and when FPU registers
are not allocated and initialized yet.
Split out a simplified API that does just that (and add debug-checks
for these conditions): fpstate_alloc_init().
Use it where appropriate.

The following commit:
f893959b0898 ("x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()")
removed drop_init_fpu() usage from flush_thread(). This seems to break
things for me - the Go 1.4 test suite fails all over the place with
floating point comparision errors (offending commit found through
bisection).
The functional change was that flush_thread() after this commit
only calls restore_init_xstate() when both use_eager_fpu() and
!used_math() are true. drop_init_fpu() (now fpu_reset_state()) calls
restore_init_xstate() regardless of whether current used_math() - apply
the same logic here.
Switch used_math() -> tsk_used_math(tsk) to consistently use the grabbed
tsk instead of current, like in the rest of flush_thread().

Commit 75182b1632 ("x86/asm/entry: Switch all C consumers of
kernel_stack to this_cpu_sp0()") changed current_thread_info
to use this_cpu_sp0, and indirectly made it rely on init_tss
which was exported with EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL_GPL.
As a result some macros and inline functions such as set/get_fs,
test_thread_flag and variants have been made unusable for
external modules.
Make cpu_tss exported with EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL so that these
functions are accessible again, as they were previously.

flush_thread() -> drop_init_fpu() is suboptimal and confusing. It does
drop_fpu() or restore_init_xstate() depending on !use_eager_fpu(). But
flush_thread() too checks eagerfpu right after that, and if it is true
then restore_init_xstate() just burns CPU for no reason. We are going to
load init_xstate_buf again after we set used_math()/user_has_fpu(), until
then the FPU state can't survive after switch_to().
Remove it, and change the "if (!use_eager_fpu())" to call drop_fpu().
While at it, clean up the tsk/current usage.

Note: "TODO: cleanup this horror" is still valid. We do not need
init_fpu() at all, we only need fpu_alloc() and memset(0). But this

To fully take advantage of MWAIT, apparently the CLFLUSH instruction needs
another quirk on certain CPUs: proper barriers around it on certain machines.
On a Q6600 SMP system, pipe-test scheduling performance, cross core,
improves significantly:
3.8.13 487.2 KHz 1.000
3.13.0-master 415.5 KHz .852
3.13.0-master+ 415.2 KHz .852 + restore mwait_idle
3.13.0-master++ 488.5 KHz 1.002 + restore mwait_idle + IPI fix
Since X86_BUG_CLFLUSH_MONITOR is already a quirk, don't create a separate
quirk for the extra smp_mb()s.

savings and to improve performance
In Linux-3.9 we removed the mwait_idle() loop:
69fb3676df33 ("x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param")
The reasoning was that modern machines should be sufficiently
happy during the boot process using the default_idle() HALT
loop, until cpuidle loads and either acpi_idle or intel_idle
invoke the newer MWAIT-with-hints idle loop.
But two machines reported problems:
1. Certain Core2-era machines support MWAIT-C1 and HALT only.
MWAIT-C1 is preferred for optimal power and performance.
But if they support just C1, cpuidle never loads and
so they use the boot-time default idle loop forever.
2. Some laptops will boot-hang if HALT is used,
but will boot successfully if MWAIT is used.
This appears to be a hidden assumption in BIOS SMI,
that is presumably valid on the proprietary OS
where the BIOS was validated.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60770
So here we effectively revert the patch above, restoring
the mwait_idle() loop. However, we don't bother restoring
the idle=mwait cmdline parameter, since it appears to add
no value.
Maintainer notes:
For 3.9, simply revert 69fb3676df
for 3.10, patch -F3 applies, fuzz needed due to __cpuinit use in
context For 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, this patch applies cleanly

The INIT_TSS is unnecessary. Just define the initial TSS where
'cpu_tss' is defined.
While we're at it, merge the 32-bit and 64-bit definitions. The
only syntactic change is that 32-bit kernels were computing sp0
as long, but now they compute it as unsigned long.
Verified by objdump: the contents and relocations of
.data..percpu..shared_aligned are unchanged on 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels.

It has nothing to do with init -- there's only one TSS per cpu.
Other names considered include:
- current_tss: Confusing because we never switch the tss.
- singleton_tss: Too long.
This patch was generated with 's/init_tss/cpu_tss/g'. Followup
patches will fix INIT_TSS and INIT_TSS_IST by hand.

We currently store references to the top of the kernel stack in
multiple places: kernel_stack (with an offset) and
init_tss.x86_tss.sp0 (no offset). The latter is defined by
hardware and is a clean canonical way to find the top of the
stack. Add an accessor so we can start using it.
This needs minor paravirt tweaks. On native, sp0 defines the
top of the kernel stack and is therefore always correct. On Xen
and lguest, the hypervisor tracks the top of the stack, but we
want to start reading sp0 in the kernel. Fixing this is simple:
just update our local copy of sp0 as well as the hypervisor's
copy on task switches.

AFAICS, there is no reason why kernel threads should have FPU context
even if use_eager_fpu() == T. Now that interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle()
does not check __thread_has_fpu() in the use_eager_fpu() case, we
can remove the init_fpu() code from eager_fpu_init() and change
flush_thread() called by do_execve() to initialize FPU.
Note: of course, the change in flush_thread() is horrible and must be
cleanuped. We need the new helper, and flush_thread() should return the
error if init_fpu() fails.

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct
(write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately,
the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code,
which only a small subset of users actually wanted.
This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4
exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits,
cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

Cosmetic, but imho memset(&dst->thread.fpu, 0) is not good simply
because it hides the (important) usage of ->has_fpu/etc from grep.
Change this code to initialize the members explicitly.
And note that ->last_cpu = 0 looks simply wrong, this can confuse
fpu_lazy_restore() if per_cpu(fpu_owner_task, 0) has already exited
and copy_process() re-allocated the same task_struct. Fortunately
this is not actually possible because child->fpu_counter == 0 and
thus fpu_lazy_restore() will not be called, but still this is not
clean/robust.

arch_dup_task_struct() copies thread.fpu if fpu_allocated(), this
looks suboptimal and misleading. Say, a forking process could use
FPU only once in a signal handler but now tsk_used_math(src) == F,
in this case the child gets a copy of fpu->state for no reason. The
child won't use the saved registers anyway even if it starts to use
FPU, this can only avoid fpu_alloc() in do_device_not_available().
Change this code to check tsk_used_math(current) instead. We still
need to clear fpu->has_fpu/state, we could do this memset(0) under
fpu_allocated() check but I think this doesn't make sense. See also
the next change.
use_eager_fpu() assumes that fpu_allocated() is always true, but a
forking task (and thus its child) must always have PF_USED_MATH set,
otherwise the child can either use FPU without used_math() (note that
switch_fpu_prepare() doesn't do stts() in this case), or it will be
killed by do_device_not_available()->BUG_ON(use_eager_fpu).

In standard form, each state is saved in the xsave area in fixed offset.
But in compacted form, offset of each saved state only can be calculated during
run time because some xstates may not be enabled and saved.
We define kernel API get_xsave_addr() returns address of a given state saved in a xsave area.
It can be called in kernel to get address of each xstate in xsave area in
either standard format or compacted format.
It's useful when kernel wants to directly access each state in xsave area.

Mike reported that commit 7d1a9417 ("x86: Use generic idle loop")
regressed several workloads and caused excessive reschedule
interrupts.
The patch in question failed to notice that the x86 code had an
inverted sense of the polling state versus the new generic code (x86:
default polling, generic: default !polling).
Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few
new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit
usage).
Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an
immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will
end up being slightly different.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

Moving x86 to the generic idle implementation (commit 7d1a9417 "x86:
Use generic idle loop") wreckaged the stack protector.
I stupidly missed that boot_init_stack_canary() must be inlined from a
function which never returns, but I put that call into
arch_cpu_idle_prepare() which of course returns.
I pondered to play tricks with arch_cpu_idle_prepare() first, but then
I noticed, that the other archs which have implemented the
stackprotector (ARM and SH) do not initialize the canary for the
non-boot cpus.
So I decided to move the boot_init_stack_canary() call into
cpu_startup_entry() ifdeffed with an CONFIG_X86 for now. This #ifdef
is just a temporary measure as I don't want to inflict the
boot_init_stack_canary() call on ARM and SH that late in the cycle.
I'll queue a patch for 3.11 which removes the #ifdef if the ARM/SH
maintainers have no objection.

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.
show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.
* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.
alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa
* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.
arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.
Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

Remove 32-bit x86 a cmdline param "no-hlt",
and the cpuinfo_x86.hlt_works_ok that it sets.
If a user wants to avoid HLT, then "idle=poll"
is much more useful, as it avoids invocation of HLT
in idle, while "no-hlt" failed to do so.
Indeed, hlt_works_ok was consulted in only 3 places.
First, in /proc/cpuinfo where "hlt_bug yes"
would be printed if and only if the user booted
the system with "no-hlt" -- as there was no other code
to set that flag.
Second, check_hlt() would not invoke halt() if "no-hlt"
were on the cmdline.
Third, it was consulted in stop_this_cpu(), which is invoked
by native_machine_halt()/reboot_interrupt()/smp_stop_nmi_callback() --
all cases where the machine is being shutdown/reset.
The flag was not consulted in the more frequently invoked
play_dead()/hlt_play_dead() used in processor offline and suspend.
Since Linux-3.0 there has been a run-time notice upon "no-hlt" invocations
indicating that it would be removed in 2012.

mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT, starting on Pentium-4 HT-enabled processors.
But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI processor_idle and intel_idle use only mwait_idle_with_hints(),
and no longer use mwait_idle().
Here we simplify the x86 native idle code by removing mwait_idle(),
and the "idle=mwait" bootparam used to invoke it.
Since Linux 3.0 there has been a boot-time warning when "idle=mwait"
was invoked saying it would be removed in 2012. This removal
was also noted in the (now removed:-) feature-removal-schedule.txt.
After this change, kernels configured with
(CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that supports MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be enabled.
