net: snmp: fix 64bit stats on 32bit arches

I accidentally replaced BH disabling by preemption disabling
in SNMP_ADD_STATS64() and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS64() on 32bit builds.

For 64bit stats on 32bit arch, we really need to disable BH,
since the "struct u64_stats_sync syncp" might be manipulated
both from process and BH contexts.

net: snmp: kill STATS_BH macros

There is nothing related to BH in SNMP counters anymore,
since linux-3.0.

Rename helpers to use __ prefix instead of _BH prefix,
for contexts where preemption is disabled.

This more closely matches convention used to update
percpu variables.

net: snmp: kill various STATS_USER() helpers

In the old days (before linux-3.0), SNMP counters were duplicated,
one for user context, and one for BH context.

After commit 8f0ea0fe3a03 ("snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%")
we have a single copy, and what really matters is preemption being
enabled or disabled, since we use this_cpu_inc() or __this_cpu_inc()
respectively.

We therefore kill SNMP_INC_STATS_USER(), SNMP_ADD_STATS_USER(),
NET_INC_STATS_USER(), NET_ADD_STATS_USER(), SCTP_INC_STATS_USER(),
SNMP_INC_STATS64_USER(), SNMP_ADD_STATS64_USER(), TCP_ADD_STATS_USER(),
UDP_INC_STATS_USER(), UDP6_INC_STATS_USER(), and XFRM_INC_STATS_USER()

Following patches will rename __BH helpers to make clear their
usage is not tied to BH being disabled.

net: clean up snmp stats code

commit 8f0ea0fe3a036a47767f9c80e (snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%)
reduced snmp array size to 1, so technically it doesn't have to be
an array any more. What's more, after the following commit:

commit 933393f58fef9963eac61db8093689544e29a600
Date: Thu Dec 22 11:58:51 2011 -0600

percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants

We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of
preemption and interrupt state. That has no material change for x86
and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations. However, arches that
do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will
now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption.

probably no arch wants to have SNMP_ARRAY_SZ == 2. At least after
almost 3 years, no one complains.

So, just convert the array to a single pointer and remove snmp_mib_init()
and snmp_mib_free() as well.

ipv6: reduce percpu needs for icmpv6msg mibs

Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very
expensive (can be ~88000 us).

This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding
values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on
non x86 arches)

ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and
eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic
operation instead of using percpu data.

This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace.

snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%

SNMP mibs use two percpu arrays, one used in BH context, another in USER
context. With increasing number of cpus in machines, and fact that ipv6
uses per network device ipstats_mib, this is consuming a lot of memory
if many network devices are registered.

commit be281e554e2a (ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes) shrinked
percpu needs for ipv6, but we can reduce memory use a bit more.

With recent percpu infrastructure (irqsafe_cpu_inc() ...), we no longer
need this BH/USER separation since we can update counters in a single
x86 instruction, regardless of the BH/USER context.

Other arches than x86 might need to disable irq in their
irqsafe_cpu_inc() implementation : If this happens to be a problem, we
can make SNMP_ARRAY_SZ arch dependent, but a previous poll
( https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/17/174 ) to arch maintainers did not
raise strong opposition.

Only on 32bit arches, we need to disable BH for 64bit counters updates
done from USER context (currently used for IP MIB)

This also reduces vmlinux size :

# be281e55 18-May-2011 Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes

ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because
they use percpu storage.

needed size per device is :
(512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2

On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of
memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool.

Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t)

Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might
also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.

snmp: 64bit ipstats_mib for all arches

/proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/netstat expose SNMP counters.

Width of these counters is either 32 or 64 bits, depending on the size
of "unsigned long" in kernel.

This means user program parsing these files must already be prepared to
deal with 64bit values, regardless of user program being 32 or 64 bit.

This patch introduces 64bit snmp values for IPSTAT mib, where some
counters can wrap pretty fast if they are 32bit wide.

[PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanup

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.

The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.

Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.

In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:

- smp_processor_id(): debug variant.

- raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.

There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:

- debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
smp_processor_id().

Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.

I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:

{SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}

I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)
