Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- "powerpc/64s: do not re-activate batched TLB flush" makes
arch_{enter|leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() nest properly (Alexander Gordeev)

Merge branch 'ftrace-bpf-use-single-direct-ops-for-bpf-trampolines'

Jiri Olsa says:

====================
ftrace,bpf: Use single direct ops for bpf trampolines

hi,
while poking the multi-tracing interface I ended up with just one ftrace_ops
object to attach all trampolines.

This change allows to use less direct API calls during the attachment changes
in the future code, so in effect speeding up the attachment.

In current code we get a speed up from using just a single ftrace_ops object.

- with current code:

Performance counter stats for 'bpftrace -e fentry:vmlinux:ksys_* {} -c true':

6,364,157,902 cycles:k
828,728,902 cycles:u
1,064,803,824 instructions:u # 1.28 insn per cycle
23,797,500,067 instructions:k # 3.74 insn per cycle

4.416004987 seconds time elapsed

0.164121000 seconds user
1.289550000 seconds sys

- with the fix:

Performance counter stats for 'bpftrace -e fentry:vmlinux:ksys_* {} -c true':

6,535,857,905 cycles:k
810,809,429 cycles:u
1,064,594,027 instructions:u # 1.31 insn per cycle
23,962,552,894 instructions:k # 3.67 insn per cycle

1.666961239 seconds time elapsed

0.157412000 seconds user
1.283396000 seconds sys

The speedup seems to be related to the fact that with single ftrace_ops object
we don't call ftrace_shutdown anymore (we use ftrace_update_ops instead) and
we skip the synchronize rcu calls (each ~100ms) at the end of that function.

- fix update_ftrace_direct_add new_filter_hash leak [ci]

v4 changes:
- rebased on top of bpf-next/master (with jmp attach changes)
added patch 1 to deal with that
- added extra checks for update_ftrace_direct_del/mod to address
the ci bot review

v3 changes:
- rebased on top of bpf-next/master
- fixed update_ftrace_direct_del cleanup path
- added missing inline to update_ftrace_direct_* stubs

v2 changes:
- rebased on top fo bpf-next/master plus Song's livepatch fixes [1]
- renamed the API functions [2] [Steven]
- do not export the new api [Steven]
- kept the original direct interface:

I'm not sure if we want to melt both *_ftrace_direct and the new interface
into single one. It's bit different in semantic (hence the name change as
Steven suggested [2]) and I don't think the changes are not that big so
we could easily keep both APIs.

v1 changes:
- make the change x86 specific, after discussing with Mark options for
arm64 [Mark]

thanks,
jirka

With single ftrace_ops object we can use update_ftrace_direct_* api
that allows multiple ip sites updates on single ftrace_ops object.

Adding HAVE_SINGLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_OPS config option to be enabled on
each arch that supports this.

At the moment we can enable this only on x86 arch, because arm relies
on ftrace_ops object representing just single trampoline image (stored
in ftrace_ops::direct_call). Archs that do not support this will continue
to use *_ftrace_direct api.

mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE

Architectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers by
defining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE.

In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will require
storage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead of
defining a macro, select a CONFIG option.

This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each arch
select it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers.
__HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and <linux/pgtable.h> relies on
the new CONFIG instead.

On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected.
This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few files
manually undefine PARAVIRT* options. As a result <asm/paravirt.h> does
not define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as
<linux/pgtable.h> only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE.
There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefine
that new CONFIG too.

RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG. There may be multiple aggregators tracking each

c

x86/resctrl: Discover hardware telemetry events

Each CPU collects data for telemetry events that it sends to the nearest
telemetry event aggregator either when the value of MSR_IA32_PQR_ASSOC.RMID
changes, or when a two millisecond timer expires.

There is a feature type ("energy" or "perf"), GUID, and MMIO region associated
with each aggregator. This combination links to an XML description of the
set of telemetry events tracked by the aggregator. XML files are published
by Intel in a GitHub repository¹.

The telemetry event aggregators maintain per-RMID per-event counts of the
total seen for all the CPUs. There may be multiple telemetry event aggregators
per package.

There are separate sets of aggregators for each feature type. Aggregators
in a set may have different GUIDs. All aggregators with the same feature
type and GUID are symmetric keeping counts for the same set of events for
the CPUs that provide data to them.

The XML file for each aggregator provides the following information:
0) Feature type of the events ("perf" or "energy")
1) Which telemetry events are tracked by the aggregator.
2) The order in which the event counters appear for each RMID.
3) The value type of each event counter (integer or fixed-point).
4) The number of RMIDs supported.
5) Which additional aggregator status registers are included.
6) The total size of the MMIO region for an aggregator.

Introduce struct event_group that condenses the relevant information from
an XML file. Hereafter an "event group" refers to a group of events of a
particular feature type (event_group::pfname set to "energy" or "perf") with
a particular GUID.

Use event_group::pfname to determine the feature id needed to obtain the
aggregator details. It will later be used in console messages and with the
rdt= boot parameter.

The INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY driver enumerates support for telemetry events.
This driver provides intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature() to list all available
telemetry event aggregators of a given feature type. The list includes the
"guid", the base address in MMIO space for the region where the event counters
are exposed, and the package id where the all the CPUs that report to this
aggregator are located.

Call INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY's intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature() for each event
group to obtain a private copy of that event group's aggregator data. Duplicate
the aggregator data between event groups that have the same feature type
but different GUID. Further processing on this private copy will be unique
to the event group.

x86/tsx: Set default TSX mode to auto

At SUSE we've been releasing our kernels with TSX enabled for the past 6
years and some customers have started to rely on it. Furthermore, the last
known vulnerability concerning TSX was TAA (CVE-2019-11135) and a
significant amount time has passed since then without anyone reporting any
issues. Intel has released numerous processors which do not have the
TAA vulnerability (Cooper/Ice Lake, Sapphire/Emerald/Granite Rappids)
yet TSX remains being disabled by default.

The main aim of this patch is to reduce the divergence between SUSE's
configuration and the upstream by switching the default TSX mode to
auto. I believe this strikes the right balance between keeping it
enabled where appropriate (i.e every machine which doesn't contain the
TAA vulnerability) and disabling it preventively.
