Pull x86 asmlinkage (LTO) changes from Peter Anvin:
"This patchset adds more infrastructure for link time optimization
(LTO).
This patchset was pulled into my tree late because of a
miscommunication (part of the patchset was picked up by other
maintainers). However, the patchset is strictly build-related and
seems to be okay in testing"
* 'x86-asmlinkage-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86, asmlinkage, xen: Fix type of NMI
x86, asmlinkage, xen, kvm: Make {xen,kvm}_lock_spinning global and visible
x86: Use inline assembler instead of global register variable to get sp
x86, asmlinkage, paravirt: Make paravirt thunks global
x86, asmlinkage, paravirt: Don't rely on local assembler labels
x86, asmlinkage, lguest: Fix C functions used by inline assembler
|

The paravirt thunks use a hack of using a static reference to a static
function to reference that function from the top level statement.
This assumes that gcc always generates static function names in a specific
format, which is not necessarily true.
Simply make these functions global and asmlinkage or __visible. This way the
static __used variables are not needed and everything works.
Functions with arguments are __visible to keep the register calling
convention on 32bit.
Changed in paravirt and in all users (Xen and vsmp)
v2: Use __visible for functions with arguments

PVH is a PV guest with a twist - there are certain things
that work in it like HVM and some like PV. There is
a similar mode - PVHVM where we run in HVM mode with
PV code enabled - and this patch explores that.
The most notable PV interfaces are the XenBus and event channels.
We will piggyback on how the event channel mechanism is
used in PVHVM - that is we want the normal native IRQ mechanism
and we will install a vector (hvm callback) for which we
will call the event channel mechanism.
This means that from a pvops perspective, we can use
native_irq_ops instead of the Xen PV specific. Albeit in the
future we could support pirq_eoi_map. But that is
a feature request that can be shared with PVHVM.

If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled then xen_enable_irq() (and
xen_restore_fl()) could be preempted and rescheduled on a different
VCPU in between the clear of the mask and the check for pending
events. This may result in events being lost as the upcall will check
for pending events on the wrong VCPU.
Fix this by disabling preemption around the unmask and check for
events.

percpu_xxx funcs are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx funcs, so replace them
for further code clean up.
I don't know much of xen code. But, since the code is in x86 architecture,
the percpu_xxx is exactly same as this_cpu_xxx serials functions. So, the
change is safe.

irq_init is overridden by x86_quirks and by paravirts. Unify the whole
mess and make it an unconditional x86_init_ops function which defaults
to the standard function and can be overridden by the early platform
code.

Rather than overloading vectors for event channels, take full
responsibility for mapping an event channel to irq directly. With
this patch Xen has its own irq allocator.
When the kernel gets an event channel upcall, it maps the event
channel number to an irq and injects it into the normal interrupt
path.

Impact: Optimization
One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
use those registers without restriction. This includes the function
argument registers, and several others.
This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly
performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
and need not use the compiler's calling convention.
Standard calling convention is:
arguments return scratch
x86-32 eax edx ecx eax ?
x86-64 rdi rsi rdx rcx rax r8 r9 r10 r11
The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return
register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).
Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.
The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is
particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.
XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention?

It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new
generic percpu methods:
percpu_read()
percpu_write()
percpu_add()
percpu_sub()
percpu_and()
percpu_or()
percpu_xor()
and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall
back to a default implementation)
The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable,
instead of this sequence:
return __get_cpu_var(var);
ffffffff8102ca2b: 48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 mov -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx
ffffffff8102ca32: 81
ffffffff8102ca33: 48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 mov $0x59d8,%rax
ffffffff8102ca3a: 48 8b 04 10 mov (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax
We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants:
return percpu_read(var);
ffffffff8102ca3f: 65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd mov %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax
I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use
these new generic percpu primitives.
tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out
* added percpu_and() for completeness's sake
* made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption

Following commit 9c3f2468d8339866d9ef6a25aae31a8909c6be0d, do_IRQ()
looks up the IRQ number in the per-cpu variable vector_irq.
This commit makes Xen initialise an identity vector_irq map for both X86_32 and X86_64.

For some reason I managed to miss a bunch of irq-related functions
which also need to be compiled without -pg when using ftrace. This
patch moves them into their own file, and starts a cleanup process
I've been meaning to do anyway.
