Support for Always Running APIC timer (ARAT) was introduced in
commit db954b5898. This feature
allows us to avoid switching timers from LAPIC to something else
(e.g. HPET) and go into timer broadcasts when entering deep
C-states.
AMD processors don't provide a CPUID bit for that feature but
they also keep APIC timers running in deep C-states (except for
cases when the processor is affected by erratum 400). Therefore
we should set ARAT feature bit on AMD CPUs.

Intel Archiecture Software Developer's Manual section 7.1.3 specifies that a
core serializing instruction such as "cpuid" should be executed on _each_ core
before the new instruction is made visible.
Failure to do so can lead to unspecified behavior (Intel XMC erratas include
General Protection Fault in the list), so we should avoid this at all cost.
This problem can affect modified code executed by interrupt handlers after
interrupt are re-enabled at the end of stop_machine, because no core serializing
instruction is executed between the code modification and the moment interrupts
are reenabled.
Because stop_machine_text_poke performs the text modification from the first CPU
decrementing stop_machine_first, modified code executed in thread context is
also affected by this problem. To explain why, we have to split the CPUs in two
categories: the CPU that initiates the text modification (calls text_poke_smp)
and all the others. The scheduler, executed on all other CPUs after
stop_machine, issues an "iret" core serializing instruction, and therefore
handles core serialization for all these CPUs. However, the text modification
initiator can continue its execution on the same thread and access the modified
text without any scheduler call. Given that the CPU that initiates the code
modification is not guaranteed to be the one actually performing the code
modification, it falls into the XMC errata.
Q: Isn't this executed from an IPI handler, which will return with IRET (a
serializing instruction) anyway?
A: No, now stop_machine uses per-cpu workqueue, so that handler will be
executed from worker threads. There is no iret anymore.

The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled
along with ACPI, which would lead to problems. However, acpi_init()
is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has
returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used. Namely, if
acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means
that ACPI is enabled. Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled
in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with
ACPI.

The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build
yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that
refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very
strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol.
[ mingo:
This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils
version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning
several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream
kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially
affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs).
Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch
bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8:
3d75e1b8 (Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END()
debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the
ENTRY() and the END():
ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
...
END(do_hypervisor_callback)
Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils
never even warned about it either.
This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels
since v2.6.27, out of the blue.
This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels
impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred
thousand historic commits. (!)
This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn
this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ]

Currently the index to the ret_stack is updated and the real return address
is saved in the ret_stack. Then we call the trace function. The trace
function could decide that it doesn't want to trace this function
(ex. set_graph_function does not match) and it will return 0 which means
not to trace this call.
The normal function graph tracer has this code:
if (!(trace->depth || ftrace_graph_addr(trace->func)) ||
ftrace_graph_ignore_irqs())
return 0;
What this states is, if the trace depth (which is curr_ret_stack)
is zero (top of nested functions) then test if we want to trace this
function. If this function is not to be traced, then return 0 and
the rest of the function graph tracer logic will not trace this function.
The problem arises when an interrupt comes in after we updated the
curr_ret_stack. The next function that gets called will have a trace->depth
of 1. Which fools this trace code into thinking that we are in a nested
function, and that we should trace. This causes interrupts to be traced
when they should not be.
The solution is to trace the function first and then update the ret_stack.

Return 0 on failure. This will cause the initialization of the driver
to fail and prevent the driver from loading if the BIOS cannot handle
the PCC interface command to "get frequency". Otherwise, the driver
will load and display a very high value like "4294967274" (which is
actually -EINVAL) for frequency:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
4294967274

Due to commit 781c5a67f1 it is
likely that the number of areas to scan for BIOS corruption is 0
-- especially when the first 64K is already reserved
(X86_RESERVE_LOW is 64K by default).
If that's the case then don't set up the scan.

New binutils version 2.21.0.20110302-1 started checking that the symbol
parameter to the .size directive matches the entry name's
symbol parameter, unearthing two mismatches:
AS arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_rm.o
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_rm.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_rm.S:12: Error: .size expression with symbol `wakeup_code_start' does not evaluate to a constant
arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S:1421: Error: .size expression with
symbol `apf_page_fault' does not evaluate to a constant
The problem was discovered while using Debian's binutils
(2.21.0.20110302-1) and experimenting with binutils from
upstream.
Thanks Alexander and H.J. for the vital help.

You can crash the kernel (with root/admin privileges) using kprobe tracer by running:
echo "p system_call_after_swapgs" > ./kprobe_events
echo 1 > ./events/kprobes/enable
The reason is that at the system_call_after_swapgs label, the
kernel stack is not set up. If optimized kprobes are enabled,
the user space stack is being used in this case (see optimized
kprobe template) and this might result in a crash.
There are several places like this over the entry code
(entry_$BIT). As it seems there's no any reasonable/maintainable
way to disable only those places where the stack is not ready, I
switched off the whole entry code from kprobe optimizing.

Put x86 entry code into a separate link section: .entry.text.
Separating the entry text section seems to have performance
benefits - caused by more efficient instruction cache usage.
Running hackbench with perf stat --repeat showed that the change
compresses the icache footprint. The icache load miss rate went
down by about 15%:
before patch:
19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% )
after patch:
16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% )
The motivation of the patch was to fix a particular kprobes
bug that relates to the entry text section, the performance
advantage was discovered accidentally.
Whole perf output follows:
- results for current tip tree:
Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs):
19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% )

- results for current tip tree with the patch applied:
