instead of the current practice of architectures twiddling scheduler

node_distance() parameters and (while not fully trusting it) deducts a

It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power
aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending
patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ...
so remove it to make space free for something better.
There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first
and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology
levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a
state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to
master and almost nobody does.
Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it
means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either
under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if
there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of
it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads.
So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea
even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs
on every node of the topology.
There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single
3 state knob:
sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto }
where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things
like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw
exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no
progress on it in the past many months.
Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs
is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at
fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable
state.
Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring
people who care to come forward once again and work on a
coherent replacement.

Section 15.3.1.2 of the software developer manual has this to say about the

RIPV (restart IP valid) flag, bit 0 — Indicates (when set) that program
execution can be restarted reliably at the instruction pointed to by the
instruction pointer pushed on the stack when the machine-check exception
is generated. When clear, the program cannot be reliably restarted at
the pushed instruction pointer.
We need to save the state of this bit in do_machine_check() and use it
in mce_notify_process() to force a signal; even if memory_failure() says
it made a complete recovery ... e.g. replaced a clean LRU page.

When disabling ibs there might be the case where hardware continuously
generates interrupts. This is described in erratum #420 (Instruction-

To avoid this we must clear the counter mask first and then clear the
enable bit. This patch implements this.
See Revision Guide for AMD Family 10h Processors, Publication #41322.
Note: We now keep track of the last read ibs config value which is
then used to disable ibs. To update the config value we pass now a
pointer to the functions reading it.

There are cases where the remaining period is smaller than the minimal
possible value. In this case the counter is restarted with the minimal
period. This is of no use as the interrupt handler will trigger
immediately again and most likely hits itself. This biases the
results.
So, if the remaining period is within the min range, we better do not
restart the counter and instead trigger the overflow.

This patch adds support for precise event sampling with IBS. There are
two counting modes to count either cycles or micro-ops. If the
corresponding performance counter events (hw events) are setup with
the precise flag set, the request is redirected to the ibs pmu:
perf record -a -e cpu-cycles:p ... # use ibs op counting cycle count
perf record -a -e r076:p ... # same as -e cpu-cycles:p
perf record -a -e r0C1:p ... # use ibs op counting micro-ops
Each ibs sample contains a linear address that points to the
instruction that was causing the sample to trigger. With ibs we have
skid 0. Thus, ibs supports precise levels 1 and 2. Samples are marked
with the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag set. In rare cases the rip is invalid
when IBS was not able to record the rip correctly. Then the
PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag is cleared and the rip is taken from pt_regs.
V2:
* don't drop samples in precise level 2 if rip is invalid, instead
support the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag

Each IBS sample contains a linear address of the instruction that
caused the sample to trigger. This address is more precise than the
rip that was taken from the interrupt handler's stack. Update the rip
with that address. We use this in the next patch to implement
precise-event sampling on AMD systems using IBS.

Fixing profiling at a fixed frequency, in this case the freq value and
sample period was setup incorrectly. Since sampling periods are
adjusted we also allow periods that have lower 4 bits set.
Another fix is the setup of the hw counter: If we modify
hwc->sample_period, we also need to update hwc->last_period and
hwc->period_left.

We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

The last sw period was not correctly updated on overflow and thus led
to wrong distribution of events. We always need to properly initialize
data.period in struct perf_sample_data.

Instead of only checking nonsensical topologies on numa-emu, do it
on real hardware as well, and print a warning.

When using numa=fake= you can get weird topologies where LLCs can span
nodes and other such nonsense. Cure this by hard partitioning these
masks on node boundaries.

What was called show_registers() so far already showed a stack
trace for kernel faults, and kernel_stack_pointer() isn't even
valid to be used for faults from user mode, hence it was
pointless for show_regs() to call show_trace() after
show_registers().
Simply rename show_registers() to show_regs() and eliminate
the old definition.

Pull two percpu fixes from Tejun Heo:
"One adds missing KERN_CONT on split printk()s and the other makes
the percpu allocator avoid using PMD_SIZE as atom_size on x86_32.
Using PMD_SIZE led to vmalloc area exhaustion on certain
configurations (x86_32 android) and the only cost of using PAGE_SIZE
instead is static percpu area not being aligned to large page
mapping."
* 'for-3.4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
percpu, x86: don't use PMD_SIZE as embedded atom_size on 32bit
percpu: use KERN_CONT in pcpu_dump_alloc_info()
With the embed percpu first chunk allocator, x86 uses either PAGE_SIZE
or PMD_SIZE for atom_size. PMD_SIZE is used when CPU supports PSE so
that percpu areas are aligned to PMD mappings and possibly allow using
PMD mappings in vmalloc areas in the future. Using larger atom_size
doesn't waste actual memory; however, it does require larger vmalloc
space allocation later on for !first chunks.
With reasonably sized vmalloc area, PMD_SIZE shouldn't be a problem
but x86_32 at this point is anything but reasonable in terms of
address space and using larger atom_size reportedly leads to frequent
percpu allocation failures on certain setups.
As there is no reason to not use PMD_SIZE on x86_64 as vmalloc space
is aplenty and most x86_64 configurations support PSE, fix the issue
by always using PMD_SIZE on x86_64 and PAGE_SIZE on x86_32.
v2: drop cpu_has_pse test and make x86_64 always use PMD_SIZE and
x86_32 PAGE_SIZE as suggested by hpa.

The only difference is the free_thread_info function, which frees
xstate.
Use the new arch_release_task_struct() function instead and switch
over to the core allocator.
