Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "The final fixes for 4.11: - prevent a triple fault with function graph tracing triggered via suspend to ram - prevent optimizing for size when function graph tracing is enabled and the compiler does not support -mfentry - prevent mwaitx() being called with a zero timeout as mwaitx() might never return. Observed on the new Ryzen CPUs" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: Prevent timer value 0 for MWAITX x86/build: convert function graph '-Os' error to warning ftrace/x86: Fix triple fault with graph tracing and suspend-to-ram

Prevent timer value 0 for MWAITX

2017-04-30T11:35:11Z

Newer hardware has uncovered a bug in the software implementation of using MWAITX for the delay function. A value of 0 for the timer is meant to indicate that a timeout will not be used to exit MWAITX. On newer hardware this can result in MWAITX never returning, resulting in NMI soft lockup messages being printed. On older hardware, some of the other conditions under which MWAITX can exit masked this issue. The AMD APM does not currently document this and will be updated. Please refer to http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=148950623231140 for information regarding NMI soft lockup messages on an AMD Ryzen 1800X. This has been root-caused as a 0 passed to MWAITX causing it to wait indefinitely. This change has the added benefit of avoiding the unnecessary setup of MONITORX/MWAITX when the delay value is zero.

ARCv2: entry: save Accumulator register pair (r58:59) if present

2017-04-20T22:37:49Z

Accumulator is present in configs with FPU and/or DSP MPY (mpy > 6) Instead of doing this in pt_regs (and thus every kernel entry/exit), this could have been done in context switch (and for user task only) as currently kernel doesn't clobber these registers for its own accord. However we will soon start using 64-bit multiply instructions for kernel which can clobber these. Also gcc folks also plan to start using these as GPRs, hence better to always save/restore them Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta
