0fe1e00954 percpu: make percpu symbols in x86 unique
This patch updates percpu related symbols in x86 such that percpu
symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.  This serves
two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.

* arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c: rename local variable to avoid collision

* arch/x86/kvm/svm.c: s/svm_data/sd/ for local variables to avoid collision

* arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu_debug.c: s/cpu_arr/cpud_arr/
  				   s/priv_arr/cpud_priv_arr/
				   s/cpu_priv_count/cpud_priv_count/

* arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c: s/cpuid4_info/ici_cpuid4_info/
  					 s/cache_kobject/ici_cache_kobject/
					 s/index_kobject/ici_index_kobject/

* arch/x86/kernel/ds.c: s/cpu_context/cpu_ds_context/

Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.

de79f54f53 x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interface
The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.

Add _noirq variants for most functions, which  may be called with
interrupts disabled.

Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
controlled from any cpu.

Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
unnecessary spinlock.

Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.

Defer the ds selftest.

38f801129a x86, bts: fix race between per-task and per-cpu branch tracing
Per-task branch tracing installs a debug store context with the traced
task. This immediately results in the branch trace control bits to be
cleared for the next context switch of that task, if not set before.

Either per-cpu or per-task tracing are allowed at the same time.

An active per-cpu tracing would be disabled even if the per-task tracing
request is rejected and the task debug store context removed.

Check the tracing type (per-cpu or per-task) before installing a task
debug store context.

8d99b3ac27 x86, bts: wait until traced task has been scheduled out
In order to stop branch tracing for a running task, we need to first
clear the branch tracing control bits before we may free the tracing
buffer.

If the traced task is running, the cpu might still trace that task
after the branch trace control bits have cleared.

Wait until the traced task has been scheduled out before proceeding.

A similar problem affects the task debug store context. We first remove
the context, then we need to wait until the task has been scheduled
out before we can free the context memory.

cac94f9793 x86, bts: fix race when bts tracer is removed
When the bts tracer is removed while the traced task is running,
the write to clear the bts tracer pointer races with context switch code.

Read the tracer once during a context switch.

When a new tracer is installed, the bts tracer is set in the ds context
before the tracer is initialized in order to claim the context for that
tracer.

This may result in write accesses using an uninitialized trace configuration
when scheduling timestamps have been requested.

Store active tracing flags separately and only set active flags after
the tracing configuration has been initialized.

ca0002a179 x86, bts: base in-kernel ds interface on handles
Impact: generalize the DS code to shared buffers

Change the in-kernel ds.h interface to identify the tracer via a
handle returned on ds_request_~().

Tracers used to be identified via their task_struct.

The changes are required to allow DS to be shared between different
tasks, which is needed for perfmon2 and for ftrace.

For ptrace, the handle is stored in the traced task's task_struct.
This should probably go into a (arch-specific) ptrace context some
time.

10db4ef7b9 x86, PEBS/DS: fix code flow in ds_request()
this compiler warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/ds.c: In function 'ds_request':
  arch/x86/kernel/ds.c:368: warning: 'context' may be used uninitialized in this function

Shows that the code flow in ds_request() is buggy - it goes into
the unlock+release-context path even when the context is not allocated
yet.

First allocate the context, then do the other checks.

Also, take care with GFP allocations under the ds_lock spinlock.

f4166c54bf x86, bts: DS and BTS initialization
Impact: widen BTS/PEBS ptrace enablement to more CPU models

Move BTS initialisation out of an #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 guard.

Assume core2 BTS and DS layout for future models of family 6 processors.

93fa7636df x86, ptrace: PEBS support
Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS.

Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu
BTS and PEBS recording.
It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks.
It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2).
It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace.

Changes in detail:
- guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros
- separate DS and BTS more clearly
- simplify field accesses
- add functions to manage PEBS buffers
- add simple protection/allocation mechanism
- added support for Atom

Opens:
- buffer overflow handling
  Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need
  for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.
  This is planned to be added when perfmon2 is made to use the ds.h
  interface.
- utrace intermediate layer

431ef7a2a4 x86: debug Store - call kfree if only we really need it
We should call for kfree if only we really need it.
Though it's safe to call kfree with NULL pointer passed
in this code we've already tested the pointer and can
eliminate the call

a95d67f87e x86, ptrace: new ptrace BTS API
Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling).

It further combines buffer allocation and configuration.

Opens:
- memory rlimit
- overflow signal

What would be the right signal to use?
