2013-04-01perf/x86: Add memory profiling via PEBS Load LatencyStephane Eranian
This patch adds support for memory profiling using the PEBS Load Latency facility. Load accesses are sampled by HW and the instruction address, data address, load latency, data source, tlb, locked information can be saved in the sampling buffer if using the PERF_SAMPLE_COST (for latency), PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC types. To enable PEBS Load Latency, users have to use the model specific event: - on NHM/WSM: MEM_INST_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD - on SNB/IVB: MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD To make things easier, this patch also exports a generic alias via sysfs: mem-loads. It export the right event encoding based on the host CPU and can be used directly by the perf tool. Loosely based on Intel's Lin Ming patch posted on LKML in July 2011.

2013-04-01perf/x86: Add flags to event constraintsStephane Eranian
This patch adds a flags field to each event constraint. It can be used to store event specific features which can then later be used by scheduling code or low-level x86 code. The flags are propagated into event->hw.flags during the get_event_constraint() call. They are cleared during the put_event_constraint() call. This mechanism is going to be used by the PEBS-LL patches. It avoids defining yet another table to hold event specific information.

2013-03-21perf/x86: Fix uninitialized pt_regs in intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer()Stephane Eranian
This patch fixes an uninitialized pt_regs struct in drain BTS function. The pt_regs struct is propagated all the way to the code_get_segment() function from perf_instruction_pointer() and may get garbage. We cannot simply inherit the actual pt_regs from the interrupt because BTS must be flushed on context-switch or when the associated event is disabled. And there we do not have a pt_regs handy. Setting pt_regs to all zeroes may not be the best option but it is not clear what else to do given where the drain_bts_buffer() is called from. In V2, we move the memset() later in the code to avoid doing it when we end up returning early without doing the actual BTS processing. Also dropped the reg.val initialization because it is redundant with the memset() as suggested by PeterZ.

2013-03-18kprobes/x86: Check Interrupt Flag modifier when registering probeMasami Hiramatsu
Currently kprobes check whether the copied instruction modifies IF (interrupt flag) on each probe hit. This results not only in introducing overhead but also involving inat_get_opcode_attribute into the kprobes hot path, and it can cause an infinite recursive call (and kernel panic in the end). Actually, since the copied instruction itself can never be modified on the buffer, it is needless to analyze the instruction on every probe hit. To fix this issue, we check it only once when registering probe and store the result on ainsn->if_modifier.

2013-03-17perf,x86: fix wrmsr_on_cpu() warning on suspend/resumeLinus Torvalds
Commit 1d9d8639c063 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering. init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single() ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead. This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

2013-03-15x86: Do full rtc synchronization with ntpPrarit Bhargava
Every 11 minutes ntp attempts to update the x86 rtc with the current system time. Currently, the x86 code only updates the rtc if the system time is within +/-15 minutes of the current value of the rtc. This was done originally to avoid setting the RTC if the RTC was in localtime mode (common with Windows dualbooting). Other architectures do a full synchronization and now that we have better infrastructure to detect when the RTC is in localtime, there is no reason that x86 should be software limited to a 30 minute window. This patch changes the behavior of the kernel to do a full synchronization (year, month, day, hour, minute, and second) of the rtc when ntp requests a synchronization between the system time and the rtc. I've used the RTC library functions in this patchset as they do all the required bounds checking.

2013-03-15perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resumeStephane Eranian
This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

2013-03-07context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exitFrederic Weisbecker
On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode. However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace. If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs). As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking state. To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame. (May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so, sorry for the missing credit).

Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy. and make fall back path working. 2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat. a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64. b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++) set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE) still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat. it should be moved before that.... c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved early before override from INITRD is settled. 3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title, but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should be routed via tip/x86/mm. 4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram: a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed? b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable... c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G anymore. d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore. e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is not good. If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that node. We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not be fixed. So just remove that offending commit and related ones including: f7210e6c4ac7 ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().") 01a178a94e8e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT") 27168d38fa20 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to the end of node") e8d195525809 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready") fb06bc8e5f42 ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map") 42f47e27e761 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority") 6981ec31146c ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep movable limit for nodes") 34b71f1e04fc ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter") 4d59a75125d5 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node") Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2013-02-27x86: Make sure we can boot in the case the BDA contains pure garbageH. Peter Anvin
On non-BIOS platforms it is possible that the BIOS data area contains garbage instead of being zeroed or something equivalent (firmware people: we are talking of 1.5K here, so please do the sane thing.) We need on the order of 20-30K of low memory in order to boot, which may grow up to < 64K in the future. We probably want to avoid the lowest of the low memory. At the same time, it seems extremely unlikely that a legitimate EBDA would ever reach down to the 128K (which would require it to be over half a megabyte in size.) Thus, pick 128K as the cutoff for "this is insane, ignore." We may still end up reserving a bunch of extra memory on the low megabyte, but that is not really a major issue these days. In the worst case we lose 512K of RAM. This code really should be merged with trim_bios_range() in arch/x86/kernel/setup.c, but that is a bigger patch for a later merge window.

2013-02-23acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is readyTang Chen
On linux, the pages used by kernel could not be migrated. As a result, if a memory range is used by kernel, it cannot be hot-removed. So if we want to hot-remove memory, we should prevent kernel from using it. The way now used to prevent this is specify a memory range by movablemem_map boot option and set it as ZONE_MOVABLE. But when the system is booting, memblock will allocate memory, and reserve the memory for kernel. And before we parse SRAT, and know the node memory ranges, memblock is working. And it may allocate memory in ranges to be set as ZONE_MOVABLE. This memory can be used by kernel, and never be freed. So, let's parse SRAT before memblock is called first. And it is early enough. The first call of memblock_find_in_range_node() is in: setup_arch() |-->setup_real_mode() so, this patch add a function early_parse_srat() to parse SRAT, and call it before setup_real_mode() is called. NOTE: 1) early_parse_srat() is called before numa_init(), and has initialized numa_meminfo. So DO NOT clear numa_nodes_parsed in numa_init() and DO NOT zero numa_meminfo in numa_init(), otherwise we will lose memory numa info. 2) I don't know why using count of memory affinities parsed from SRAT as a return value in original acpi_numa_init(). So I add a static variable srat_mem_cnt to remember this count and use it as the return value of the new acpi_numa_init() [mhocko@suse.cz: parse SRAT before memblock is ready fix] Signed-off-by: Tang Chen <tangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Wen Congyang <wency@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com> Cc: Jianguo Wu <wujianguo@huawei.com> Cc: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Wu Jianguo <wujianguo@huawei.com> Cc: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: "H.
