Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault
If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the
stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to
the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable
results and perhaps even a kernel panic.
A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply
disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel.
It should not lead to a kernel crash.

Architectures other than mips and x86 are not using ticket spinlocks.
Therefore, the contention on the lock is meaningless, since there is
nobody known to be waiting on it (arguably /fairly/ unfair locks).
Dummy it out to return 0 on other architectures.

When the function graph tracer picks a return address, it ensures this address
is really a kernel text one by calling __kernel_text_address()
Actually this path has never been taken.Its role was more likely to debug the tracer
on the beginning of its development but this function is wasteful since it is called
for every traced function.
The fault check is already sufficient.

Impact: clean up
Now that a generic in_nmi is available, this patch removes the
special code in the ring_buffer and implements the in_nmi generic
version instead.
With this change, I was also able to rename the "arch_ftrace_nmi_enter"
back to "ftrace_nmi_enter" and remove the code from the ring buffer.

The function graph tracer piggy backed onto the dynamic ftracer
to use the in_nmi custom code for dynamic tracing. The problem
was (as Andrew Morton pointed out) it really only wanted to bail
out if the context of the current CPU was in NMI context. But the
dynamic ftrace in_nmi custom code was true if _any_ CPU happened
to be in NMI context.
Now that we have a generic in_nmi interface, this patch changes
the function graph code to use it instead of the dynamic ftarce
custom code.

Impact: clean up
The in_nmi variable in x86 arch ftrace.c is a misnomer.
Andrew Morton pointed out that the in_nmi variable is incremented
by all CPUS. It can be set when another CPU is running an NMI.
Since this is actually intentional, the fix is to rename it to
what it really is: "nmi_running"

Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI
The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to
the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock
to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not
to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to
its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that
can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant
with the spinlocks disabling interrupts.
The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write
crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing
with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect
against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the
users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a
user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring
buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then
we risk the chance of a deadlock.
This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the
ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is
used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates
the Kconfig to handle it.
When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer
code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer
crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin
lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry
is discarded.
This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing
is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there.

One of my past fixes to this code introduced a different new bug.
When using 32-bit "int $0x80" entry for a bogus syscall number,
the return value is not correctly set to -ENOSYS. This only happens
when neither syscall-audit nor syscall tracing is enabled (i.e., never
seen if auditd ever started). Test program:
/* gcc -o int80-badsys -m32 -g int80-badsys.c
Run on x86-64 kernel.
Note to reproduce the bug you need auditd never to have started. */
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main (void)
{
long res;
asm ("int $0x80" : "=a" (res) : "0" (99999));
printf ("bad syscall returns %ld\n", res);
return res != -ENOSYS;
}
The fix makes the int $0x80 path match the sysenter and syscall paths.

At this time, the PowerNow! driver for K8 uses an experimentally
derived formula to calculate transition latency. The value it
provides is orders of magnitude too large on modern systems.
This patch replaces the formula with ACPI _PSS latency values
for more accuracy and better performance.
I've tested it on two 2nd generation Opteron systems, a 3rd
generation Operton system, and a Turion X2 without seeing any
stability problems.

The removed version with the loop registers saved on the stack was
originally intended to workaround the missing toolchain support for
LoopReg Clobbers.
Since our toolchain now supports these there is no point in keeping this
workaround. And since we don't touch LoopRegs anymore we're no longer
subject for ANOMALY_05000312.
