Add synthetic event node support to boot time tracing.
The synthetic event is a kind of event node, but the group
name is "synthetic".
- ftrace.event.synthetic.EVENT.fields = FIELD[, FIELD2...]
Defines new synthetic event with FIELDs. Each field should be
"type varname".
The synthetic node requires "fields" string arraies, which defines
the fields as same as tracing/synth_events interface.

- ftrace.event.kprobes.EVENT.probes = PROBE[, PROBE2...]
Defines new kprobe event based on PROBEs. It is able to define
multiple probes on one event, but those must have same type of

For example,
ftrace.events.kprobes.myevent {

perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer
ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer

As other parts of the ring buffer code has "perf_" as the prefix, it only

During suspend CPU context may be lost in both non-secure and secure CPU
states. The kernel can handle saving and restoring the non-secure context
but must call into the secure side to allow it to save any context it may
lose. Add these calls here.
Note that on systems with OP-TEE available the suspend call is issued to
OP-TEE using the ARM SMCCC, but the resume call is always issued to the
ROM. This is because on waking from suspend the ROM is restored as the
secure monitor. It is this resume call that instructs the ROM to restore
OP-TEE, all subsequent calls will be handled by OP-TEE and should use the
ARM SMCCC.

Convention). We check for the presence of OP-TEE and use this type of

Note, don't WARN if IA32_FEAT_CTL is unlocked, even though the MSR is

Add a new feature flag, X86_FEATURE_MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL, to track whether
IA32_FEAT_CTL has been initialized. This will allow KVM, and any future
subsystems that depend on IA32_FEAT_CTL, to rely purely on cpufeatures
to query platform support, e.g. allows a future patch to remove KVM's
manual IA32_FEAT_CTL MSR checks.
Various features (on platforms that support IA32_FEAT_CTL) are dependent
on IA32_FEAT_CTL being configured and locked, e.g. VMX and LMCE. The
MSR is always configured during boot, but only if the CPU vendor is
recognized by the kernel. Because CPUID doesn't incorporate the current
IA32_FEAT_CTL value in its reporting of relevant features, it's possible
for a feature to be reported as supported in cpufeatures but not truly
enabled, e.g. if the CPU supports VMX but the kernel doesn't recognize
the CPU.
As a result, without the flag, KVM would see VMX as supported even if
IA32_FEAT_CTL hasn't been initialized, and so would need to manually
read the MSR and check the various enabling bits to avoid taking an
unexpected #GP on VMXON.

Add support for generating VMX feature names in capflags.c and use the
resulting x86_vmx_flags to print the VMX flags in /proc/cpuinfo. Don't
print VMX flags if no bits are set in word 0, which holds Pin Controls.
Pin Control's INTR and NMI exiting are fundamental pillars of VMX, if
they are not supported then the CPU is broken, it does not actually
support VMX, or the kernel wasn't built with support for the target CPU.
Print the features in a dedicated "vmx flags" line to avoid polluting
the common "flags" and to avoid having to prefix all flags with "vmx_",
which results in horrendously long names.
Keep synthetic VMX flags in cpufeatures to preserve /proc/cpuinfo's ABI
for those flags. This means that "flags" and "vmx flags" will have
duplicate entries for tpr_shadow (virtual_tpr), vnmi, ept, flexpriority,
vpid and ept_ad, but caps the pollution of "flags" at those six VMX
features. The vendor-specific code that populates the synthetic flags

definitions in asm/vmx.h, i.e. force developers to define a VMX_FEATURE
flag when adding support for a new hardware feature.
The majority of Intel's (and compatible CPU's) VMX capabilities are
enumerated via MSRs and not CPUID, i.e. querying /proc/cpuinfo doesn't
naturally provide any insight into the virtualization capabilities of
VMX enabled CPUs. Commit
e38e05a858 ("x86: extended "flags" to show virtualization HW feature
in /proc/cpuinfo")
attempted to address the issue by synthesizing select VMX features into
a Linux-defined word in cpufeatures.
Lack of reporting of VMX capabilities via /proc/cpuinfo is problematic
because there is no sane way for a user to query the capabilities of
their platform, e.g. when trying to find a platform to test a feature or
debug an issue that has a hardware dependency. Lack of reporting is
especially problematic when the user isn't familiar with VMX, e.g. the
format of the MSRs is non-standard, existence of some MSRs is reported
by bits in other MSRs, several "features" from KVM's point of view are
enumerated as 3+ distinct features by hardware, etc...
The synthetic cpufeatures approach has several flaws:
- The set of synthesized VMX flags has become extremely stale with
respect to the full set of VMX features, e.g. only one new flag
(EPT A/D) has been added in the the decade since the introduction of
the synthetic VMX features. Failure to keep the VMX flags up to
date is likely due to the lack of a mechanism that forces developers
to consider whether or not a new feature is worth reporting.
- The synthetic flags may incorrectly be misinterpreted as affecting
kernel behavior, i.e. KVM, the kernel's sole consumer of VMX,
completely ignores the synthetic flags.
- New CPU vendors that support VMX have duplicated the hideous code
that propagates VMX features from MSRs to cpufeatures. Bringing the
synthetic VMX flags up to date would exacerbate the copy+paste
trainwreck.
Define separate VMX_FEATURE flags to set the stage for enumerating VMX
capabilities outside of the cpu_has() framework, and for adding
functional usage of VMX_FEATURE_* to help ensure the features reported
via /proc/cpuinfo is up to date with respect to kernel recognition of
VMX capabilities.

Now that IA32_FEAT_CTL is always configured and locked for CPUs that are
known to support VMX[*], clear the VMX capability flag if the MSR is
unsupported or BIOS disabled VMX, i.e. locked IA32_FEAT_CTL and didn't
set the appropriate VMX enable bit.
[*] Because init_ia32_feat_ctl() is called from vendors ->c_init(), it's
still possible for IA32_FEAT_CTL to be left unlocked when VMX is
supported by the CPU. This is not fatal, and will be addressed in a
future patch.
