Now that pda is allocated as part of percpu, percpu doesn't need to be
accessed through pda. Unify x86_64 SMP percpu access with x86_32 SMP
one. Other than the segment register, operand size and the base of
percpu symbols, they behave identical now.
This patch replaces now unnecessary pda->data_offset with a dummy
field which is necessary to keep stack_canary at its place. This
patch also moves per_cpu_offset initialization out of init_gdt() into
setup_per_cpu_areas(). Note that this change also necessitates
explicit per_cpu_offset initializations in voyager_smp.c.

Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86
This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64.
Both static and dynamic tracing are supported.
This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I
wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address
saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion.
That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these
function for other archs ports.
Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first
thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I
believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the
case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer).
So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to
enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at
this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags).
A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the
tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not
initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and,
after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to
trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I
hadn't problems with it.

Impact: remove dead code
If we take a closer look at the rff_trace/rff_action ret_from_fork code,
we have to realize that it does all the wrong things: for example it
checks the TIF flag - while later on jumping back to the ret-from-syscall
path - duplicating the check needlessly.
But checking for _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is completely unnecessary here because
we clear that flag for every freshly forked task. So the whole "tracing"
code here, for which there is a out of line jump optimization that makes
it even harder to read, is in reality completely dead code ...

avoid the confusion in call trace because of the lack of padding at the

When do_exit gets called, the return address behind call instruction is
pushed into stack. If something get wrong in do_exit, for x86_64, the
entry "kernel_execve +0x00/0xXX" rather than "child_rip +0xYY/0xZZ" is
in the call trace.
That looks confusing, so add a u2d to make the return address still part
of the original call site. (This also catches any instances of us returning
from that function somehow.)

Here is a combined patch that moves "save_args" out-of-line for
the interrupt macro and moves "error_entry" mostly out-of-line
for the zeroentry and errorentry macros.
The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy
to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch
code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the
calling function. Normal interrupts arrive with ((~vector)-0x80)
on the stack, which gets adjusted in common_interrupt:
<common_interrupt>:
(5) addq $0xffffffffffffff80,(%rsp) /* -> ~(vector) */
(4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */
(5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5) callq ffffffff80214290 <do_IRQ>
<ret_from_intr>:
...
An apic interrupt stub now look like this:
<thermal_interrupt>:
(5) pushq $0xffffffffffffff05 /* ~(vector) */
(4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */
(5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5) callq ffffffff80212b8f <smp_thermal_interrupt>
(5) jmpq ffffffff80211f93 <ret_from_intr>
Similarly the exception handler register saving function becomes
simpler, without the need of any parameter shuffling. The stub
for an exception without errorcode looks like this:
<overflow>:
(6) callq *0x1cad12(%rip) # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(2) pushq $0xffffffffffffffff /* no syscall */
(4) sub $0x78,%rsp /* space for registers */
(5) callq ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3) mov %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */
(2) xor %esi,%esi /* no error code */
(5) callq ffffffff80213446 <do_overflow>
(5) jmpq ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>
And one for an exception with errorcode like this:
<segment_not_present>:
(6) callq *0x1cab92(%rip) # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(4) sub $0x78,%rsp /* space for registers */
(5) callq ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3) mov %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */
(5) mov 0x78(%rsp),%rsi /* load error code */
(9) movq $0xffffffffffffffff,0x78(%rsp) /* no syscall */
(5) callq ffffffff80213209 <do_segment_not_present>
(5) jmpq ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>
Unfortunately, this last type is more than 32 bytes. But the total space
savings due to this patch is about 2500 bytes on an smp-configuration,
and I think the code is clearer than it was before. The tested kernels
were non-paravirt ones (i.e., without the indirect call at the top of
the exception handlers).
Anyhow, I tested this patch on top of a recent -tip. The machine
was an 2x4-core Xeon at 2333MHz. Measured where the delays between
(almost-)adjacent rdtsc instructions. The graphs show how much
time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured
delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent
outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were
started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added.
For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle
condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0.
Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs
for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there
are small differences.

Move the IRQ stub generation to assembly to simplify it and for
consistency with 32 bits. Doing it in a C file with asm() statements
doesn't help clarity, and it prevents some optimizations.
Shrink the IRQ stubs down to just over four bytes per (we fit seven
into a 32-byte chunk.) This shrinks the total icache consumption of
the IRQ stubs down to an even kilobyte, if all of them are in active
use.
The downside is that we end up with a double jump, which could have a
negative effect on some pipelines. The double jump is always inside
the same cacheline on any modern chips.
To get the most effect, cache-align the IRQ stubs.
This makes the 64-bit code match changes already done to the 32-bit
code, and should open up irqinit*.c for unification.

Impact: quick start and stop of function tracer
This patch adds a way to disable the function tracer quickly without
the need to run kstop_machine. It adds a new variable called
function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount
when set. This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion
like preempt_disable().
It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing
fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine.
The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs
that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount
arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code.
x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this.
