This adds fast paths for 32-bit syscall entry and exit when
TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is set, but no other kind of syscall tracing.
These paths does not need to save and restore all registers as
the general case of tracing does. Avoiding the iret return path
when syscall audit is enabled helps performance a lot.

This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me.
AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were,
it would go wrong. To wit, try loading a module whose init
function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash
(presumably with a wrong user stack pointer).
This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet
when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to
int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to
have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.
I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no
_TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are
already superfluous. If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call
do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do.

This unifies and cleans up the syscall tracing code on i386 and x86_64.
Using a single function for entry and exit tracing on 32-bit made the
do_syscall_trace() into some terrible spaghetti. The logic is clear and
simple using separate syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_trace_leave()
functions as on 64-bit.
The unification adds PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support
on x86_64, for 32-bit ptrace() callers and for 64-bit ptrace() callers
tracing either 32-bit or 64-bit tasks. It behaves just like 32-bit.
Changing syscall_trace_enter() to return the syscall number shortens
all the assembly paths, while adding the SYSEMU feature in a simple way.

Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64
record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some
general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables
looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function
pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the
dynamic ftrace routines.
On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function.
When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub
is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records
the instruction pointers of the locations that call it.
Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all
the locations to nops.
When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now
be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call
to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched
when the function that should be called is updated.
All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any
type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code
on the fly.

If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is
set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime
we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"
attribute.
The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
happens to be registered.
[ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]
Update:
It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
through the functions to call.

On three of the several paths in entry_64.S that call
do_notify_resume() on the way back to user mode, we fail to properly
check again for newly-arrived work that requires another call to
do_notify_resume() before going to user mode. These paths set the
mask to check only _TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but this is wrong. The other
paths that lead to do_notify_resume() do this correctly already, and
entry_32.S does it correctly in all cases.
All paths back to user mode have to check all the _TIF_WORK_MASK
flags at the last possible stage, with interrupts disabled.
Otherwise, we miss any flags (TIF_SIGPENDING for example) that were
set any time after we entered do_notify_resume(). More work flags
can be set (or left set) synchronously inside do_notify_resume(), as
TIF_SIGPENDING can be, or asynchronously by interrupts or other CPUs
(which then send an asynchronous interrupt).
There are many different scenarios that could hit this bug, most of
them races. The simplest one to demonstrate does not require any
race: when one signal has done handler setup at the check before
returning from a syscall, and there is another signal pending that
should be handled. The second signal's handler should interrupt the
first signal handler before it actually starts (so the interrupted PC
is still at the handler's entry point). Instead, it runs away until
the next kernel entry (next syscall, tick, etc).
This test behaves correctly on 32-bit kernels, and fails on 64-bit
(either 32-bit or 64-bit test binary). With this fix, it works.

Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with
different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least
within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD
system).
sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of
any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts.
sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable
interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs

This is needed when the kernel is running on RING3, such as under Xen.
x86_64 has a weird feature that makes it #GP on iret when SS is a null
descriptor.
This need to be tested on bare metal to make sure it doesn't cause any
problems. AMD specs say SS is always ignored (except on iret?).

TLB shootdown for SGI UV.
Depends on patch (in tip/x86/irq):
x86-update-macros-used-by-uv-platform.patch Jack Steiner May 29
This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on
the local node. The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush
messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit".
The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to
native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c).
This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware
is not yet available.
The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics.
The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of
many /sys files. The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics
should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging.
Issues to be fixed later:
- The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200
(see UV_BAU_MESSAGE). It should be dynamically assigned in the future.
- The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem
in the simulator.

From the code:
"B stepping K8s sometimes report an truncated RIP for IRET exceptions
returning to compat mode. Check for these here too."
The code then proceeds to truncate the upper 32 bits of %rbp. This means
that when do_page_fault() is finally called, its prologue,
do_page_fault:
push %rbp
movl %rsp, %rbp
will put the truncated base pointer on the stack. This means that the
stack tracer will not be able to follow the base-pointer changes and
will see all subsequent stack frames as unreliable.
This patch changes the code to use a different register (%rcx) for the
checking and leaves %rbp untouched.

When we're stopped at syscall entry tracing, ptrace can change the %rax
value from -ENOSYS to something else. If no system call is actually made
because the syscall number (now in orig_rax) is bad, then we now always
reset %rax to -ENOSYS again.
This changes it to leave the return value alone after entry tracing.
That way, the %rax value set by ptrace is there to be seen in user mode
(or in syscall exit tracing). This is consistent with what the 32-bit
kernel does.

To fix this we pass in pt_regs by pointer.

This change broke recovery of exceptions in iret:
commit 72fe4858544292ad64600765cb78bc02298c6b1c
Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>
x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros
The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq
instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction.
It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing
its nearby use. Removing it would have revealed the other use of the
label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising
the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this
subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.

Unify the x86-64 behavior for 32-bit processes that set
bogus %cs/%ss values (the only ones that can fault in iret)
match what the native i386 behavior is. (do not kill the task
via do_exit but generate a SIGSEGV signal)

The assembly code in entry_64.S issues a bunch of privileged instructions,
like cli, sti, swapgs, and others. Paravirt guests are forbidden to do so,
and we then replace them with macros that will do the right thing.

Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick.
The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice
level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair'
by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to
minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on.
The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency.
Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the
sched_latency period is important.

Right now register edi is just cleared before calling do_exit.
That is wrong because correct return value will be ignored.
Value from rax should be copied to rdi instead of clearing edi.
AK: changed to 32bit move because it's strictly an int

Run the lockdep_sys_exit hook after all other C code on the syscall
