ec7e1605d7 efi/x86: move UV_SYSTAB handling into arch/x86
The SGI UV UEFI machines are tightly coupled to the x86 architecture
so there is no need to keep any awareness of its existence in the
generic EFI layer, especially since we already have the infrastructure
to handle arch-specific configuration tables, and were even already
using it to some extent.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

a2055abe9c x86/mm: Pass flush_tlb_info to flush_tlb_others() etc
Rather than passing all the contents of flush_tlb_info to
flush_tlb_others(), pass a pointer to the structure directly. For
consistency, this also removes the unnecessary cpu parameter from
uv_flush_tlb_others() to make its signature match the other
*flush_tlb_others() functions.

This serves two purposes:

 - It will dramatically simplify future patches that change struct
   flush_tlb_info, which I'm planning to do.

 - struct flush_tlb_info is an adequate description of what to do
   for a local flush, too, so by reusing it we can remove duplicated
   code between local and remove flushes in a future patch.

This reverts commit 8eba18428a.

uv_trace() is not used by anything, nor is uv_trace_nmi_func, nor
uv_trace_func.

That's not how we do instrumentation code in the kernel: we add
tracepoints, printk()s, etc. so that everyone not just those with
magic kernel modules can debug a system.

So remove this unused (and misguied) piece of code.

57c4f43043 arch/x86/platform/uv: Fix incorrect tlb flush all issue
The flush tlb optimization code has logical issue on UV
platform.  It doesn't flush the full range at all, since it
simply ignores its 'end' parameter (and hence also the "all"
indicator) in uv_flush_tlb_others() function.

Cliff's notes:

 | I tested the patch on a UV.  It has the effect of either
 | clearing 1 or all TLBs in a cpu.  I added some debugging to
 | test for the cases when clearing all TLBs is overkill, and in
 | practice it happens very seldom.

e7b52ffd45 x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range
x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.

But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.

So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
	(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
		X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)

Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.

But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.

As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.

My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.

Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP
'always':

multi thread testing, '-t' paramter is thread number:
	       	        with patch   unpatched 3.4-rc4
./mprotect -t 1           14ns		24ns
./mprotect -t 2           13ns		22ns
./mprotect -t 4           12ns		19ns
./mprotect -t 8           14ns		16ns
./mprotect -t 16          28ns		26ns
./mprotect -t 32          54ns		51ns
./mprotect -t 128         200ns		199ns

Single process with sequencial flushing and memory accessing:

		       	with patch   unpatched 3.4-rc4
./mprotect		    7ns			11ns
./mprotect -p 4096  -l 8 -n 10240
			    21ns		21ns

78c0617646 x86: Enable NMI on all cpus on UV
Enable NMI on all cpus in UV system and add an NMI handler
to dump_stack on each cpu.

By default on x86 all the cpus except the boot cpu have NMI
masked off.  This patch enables NMI on all cpus in UV system
and adds an NMI handler to dump_stack on each cpu.  This
way if a system hangs we can NMI the machine and get a
backtrace from all the cpus.

Version 2: Use x86_platform driver mechanism for nmi init, per
           Ingo's suggestion.

Version 3: Clean up Ingo's nits.

2b6163bf57 x86: remove update_apic from x86_quirks
Impact: cleanup

x86_quirks->update_apic() calling looks crazy. so try to remove it:

 1. every apic take wakeup_cpu member directly
 2. separate es7000_apic to es7000_apic_cluster
 3. use uv_wakeup_cpu directly

bdbcdd4888 x86: uv cleanup
Impact: cleanup

Make the following uv related cleanups.

* collect visible uv related definitions and interfaces into uv/uv.h
  and use it.  this cleans up the messy situation where on 64bit, uv
  is defined properly, on 32bit generic it's dummy and on the rest
  undefined.  after this clean up, uv is defined on 64 and dummy on
  32.

* update uv_flush_tlb_others() such that it takes cpumask of
  to-be-flushed cpus as argument, instead of that minus self, and
  returns yet-to-be-flushed cpumask, instead of modifying the passed
  in parameter.  this interface change will ease dummy implementation
  of uv_flush_tlb_others() and makes uv tlb flush related stuff
  defined in tlb_uv proper.
