The irq work interrupt vector is only installed when CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is
enabled, but the interrupt handler is compiled in unconditionally.
Compile the cruft out when the APIC is disabled.

Two NOP5s are a reasonable tradeoff to avoid duplicated code and the

x86 supports irq work self-IPIs when local apic is available. This is
partly known on runtime so lets implement arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()
accordingly.
This should be safely called after setup_arch().

These handlers are all referenced from assembler stubs, so need
to be visible.
The handlers without arguments become asmlinkage, the others __visible
to not force regparms(0) on x86-32.
I put it all into a single patch, please let me know if you want
it it split up.

[Purpose of this patch]
As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html
<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.
There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.
The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>
On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.
I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.
[Patch Description]
Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.
So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
- local_timer_vector
- reschedule_vector
- call_function_vector
- call_function_single_vector
- irq_work_entry_vector
- error_apic_vector
- thermal_apic_vector
- threshold_apic_vector
- spurious_apic_vector
- x86_platform_ipi_vector
Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
- Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
- Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
_set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
- Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
- Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
- Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
- On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
is disabled.
In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
used for other purposes.

When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are
simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers,
it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty.
To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and
switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time.
So, let's introduce entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post-
processing of each irq handler.
A way to use them is as follows.
Non-trace irq handler:
smp_irq_handler()
{
entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
__smp_irq_handler(); /*
* common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
* in a vector.
*/
exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */
}
Trace irq_handler:
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
trace_irq_entry(); /* tracepoint for irq entry */
__smp_irq_handler(); /*
* common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
* in a vector.
*/
trace_irq_exit(); /* tracepoint for irq exit */
exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */
}
If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows,
it looks cleaner.
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
trace_irq_entry();
smp_irq_handler();
trace_irq_exit();
}
But it doesn't work.
The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before
trace_irq_enter/exit(), because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before
any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use rcu to synchronize.
As a possible alternative, we may be able to call irq_enter() first as follows
if irq_enter() can nest.
smp_trace_irq_hander()
{
irq_entry();
trace_irq_entry();
smp_irq_handler();
trace_irq_exit();
irq_exit();
}
But it doesn't work, either.
If irq_enter() is nested, it may have a time penalty because it has to check if it
was already called or not. The time penalty is not desired in performance sensitive
paths even if it is tiny.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.
