Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes:

   - Ftrace is one of the last W^X violators (after this only KLP is
     left). These patches move it over to the generic text_poke()
     interface and thereby get rid of this oddity. This requires a
     surprising amount of surgery, by Peter Zijlstra.

   - x86/AMD PMUs: add support for 'Large Increment per Cycle Events' to
     count certain types of events that have a special, quirky hw ABI
     (by Kim Phillips)

   - kprobes fixes by Masami Hiramatsu

  Lots of tooling updates as well, the following subcommands were
  updated: annotate/report/top, c2c, clang, record, report/top TUI,
  sched timehist, tests; plus updates were done to the gtk ui, libperf,
  headers and the parser"

<title>x86/kprobes: Explicitly include vmalloc.h for set_vm_flush_reset_perms()</title>

<content type='text'>
The inclusion of linux/vmalloc.h, which is required for its definition
of set_vm_flush_reset_perms(), is somehow dependent on asm/realmode.h
being included by asm/acpi.h.  Explicitly include linux/vmalloc.h so
that a future patch can drop the realmode.h include from asm/acpi.h
without breaking the build.

Add a few words describing how it is safe to overwrite the 4 bytes
after a kprobe. In specific it is possible the JMP.d32 required for
the optimized kprobe overwrites multiple instructions.

<id>urn:sha1:5c02ece81848db29b411139cc923d66050a6a40c</id>
<content type='text'>
Kprobes does something like:

register:
	arch_arm_kprobe()
	  text_poke(INT3)
          /* guarantees nothing, INT3 will become visible at some point, maybe */

        kprobe_optimizer()
	  /* guarantees the bytes after INT3 are unused */
	  synchronize_rcu_tasks();
	  text_poke_bp(JMP32);
	  /* implies IPI-sync, kprobe really is enabled */

unregister:
	__disarm_kprobe()
	  unoptimize_kprobe()
	    text_poke_bp(INT3 + tail);
	    /* implies IPI-sync, so tail is guaranteed visible */
          arch_disarm_kprobe()
            text_poke(old);
	    /* guarantees nothing, old will maybe become visible */

	synchronize_rcu()

        free-stuff

Now the problem is that on register, the synchronize_rcu_tasks() does
not imply sufficient to guarantee all CPUs have already observed INT3
(although in practice this is exceedingly unlikely not to have
happened) (similar to how MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED does not
imply MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE).

Worse, even if it did, we'd have to do 2 synchronize calls to provide
the guarantee we're looking for, the first to ensure INT3 is visible,
the second to guarantee nobody is then still using the instruction
bytes after INT3.

Similar on unregister; the synchronize_rcu() between
__unregister_kprobe_top() and __unregister_kprobe_bottom() does not
guarantee all CPUs are free of the INT3 (and observe the old text).

Therefore, sprinkle some IPI-sync love around. This guarantees that
all CPUs agree on the text and RCU once again provides the required
guaranteed.

<title>x86/alternatives: Teach text_poke_bp() to emulate instructions</title>

<content type='text'>
In preparation for static_call and variable size jump_label support,
teach text_poke_bp() to emulate instructions, namely:

  JMP32, JMP8, CALL, NOP2, NOP_ATOMIC5, INT3

The current text_poke_bp() takes a @handler argument which is used as
a jump target when the temporary INT3 is hit by a different CPU.

When patching CALL instructions, this doesn't work because we'd miss
the PUSH of the return address. Instead, teach poke_int3_handler() to
emulate an instruction, typically the instruction we're patching in.

This fits almost all text_poke_bp() users, except
arch_unoptimize_kprobe() which restores random text, and for that site
we have to build an explicit emulate instruction.

Prohibit probing on instruction which has XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX
or KVM's emulate prefix. Since that prefix is a marker for Xen
and KVM, if we modify the marker by kprobe's int3, that doesn't
work as expected.

Pull x86 cpu-feature updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Rework the Intel model names symbols/macros, which were decades of
   ad-hoc extensions and added random noise. It's now a coherent, easy
   to follow nomenclature.

 - Add new Intel CPU model IDs:
    - "Tiger Lake" desktop and mobile models
    - "Elkhart Lake" model ID
    - and the "Lightning Mountain" variant of Airmont, plus support code

 - Add the new AVX512_VP2INTERSECT instruction to cpufeatures

 - Remove Intel MPX user-visible APIs and the self-tests, because the
   toolchain (gcc) is not supporting it going forward. This is the
   first, lowest-risk phase of MPX removal.

 - Remove X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC

 - Various smaller cleanups and fixes
