2012-05-14x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine check recovery if it is safeTony Luck
Section 15.3.1.2 of the software developer manual has this to say about the RIPV bit in the IA32_MCG_STATUS register: RIPV (restart IP valid) flag, bit 0 — Indicates (when set) that program execution can be restarted reliably at the instruction pointed to by the instruction pointer pushed on the stack when the machine-check exception is generated. When clear, the program cannot be reliably restarted at the pushed instruction pointer. We need to save the state of this bit in do_machine_check() and use it in mce_notify_process() to force a signal; even if memory_failure() says it made a complete recovery ... e.g. replaced a clean LRU page.

2012-04-27x86/amd: Re-enable CPU topology extensions in case BIOS has disabled itAndreas Herrmann
BIOS will switch off the corresponding feature flag on family 15h models 10h-1fh non-desktop CPUs. The topology extension CPUID leafs are required to detect which cores belong to the same compute unit. (thread siblings mask is set accordingly and also correct information about L1i and L2 cache sharing depends on this). W/o this patch we wouldn't see which cores belong to the same compute unit and also cache sharing information for L1i and L2 would be incorrect on such systems.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp into x86/urgent A small L3 cache index disable fix from Srivatsa Bhat which unifies the way the code checks for already disabled indices.

2012-04-19x86, intel_cacheinfo: Fix error return code in amd_set_l3_disable_slot()Srivatsa S. Bhat
If the L3 disable slot is already in use, return -EEXIST instead of -EINVAL. The caller, store_cache_disable(), checks this return value to print an appropriate warning. Also, we want to signal with -EEXIST that the current index we're disabling has actually been already disabled on the node: $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 -bash: echo: write error: File exists $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 -bash: echo: write error: File exists $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 -bash: echo: write error: File exists The old code would say -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument for disable slot 1 when playing the example above with no output in dmesg, which is clearly misleading.

2012-04-16x86/platform: Remove incorrect error message in x86_default_fixup_cpu_id()Andreas Herrmann
It's only called from amd.c:srat_detect_node(). The introduced condition for calling the fixup code is true for all AMD multi-node processors, e.g. Magny-Cours and Interlagos. There we have 2 NUMA nodes on one socket. Thus there are cores having different numa-node-id but with equal phys_proc_id. There is no point to print error messages in such a situation. The confusing/misleading error message was introduced with commit 64be4c1c2428e148de6081af235e2418e6a66dda ("x86: Add x86_init platform override to fix up NUMA core numbering"). Remove the default fixup function (especially the error message) and replace it by a NULL pointer check, move the Numascale-specific condition for calling the fixup into the fixup-function itself and slightly adapt the comment.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.

With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are: 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the implicit presence of BUG code. 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code. 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h> 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.

2012-03-05perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switchStephane Eranian
With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels. In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from different tasks. We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary. That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for per-thread context. In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are then filtered out by the SW filter.

2012-03-05perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel CPUsStephane Eranian
This patch adds an internal sofware filter to complement the (optional) LBR hardware filter. The software filter is necessary: - as a substitute when there is no HW LBR filter (e.g., Atom, Core) - to complement HW LBR filter in case of errata (e.g., Nehalem/Westmere) - to provide finer grain filtering (e.g., all processors) Sometimes the LBR HW filter cannot distinguish between two types of branches. For instance, to capture syscall as CALLS, it is necessary to enable the LBR_FAR filter which will also capture JMP instructions. Thus, a second pass is necessary to filter those out, this is what the SW filter can do. The SW filter is built on top of the internal x86 disassembler. It is a best effort filter especially for user level code. It is subject to the availability of the text page of the program. The SW filter is enabled on all Intel processors. It is bypassed when the user is capturing all branches at all priv levels.

2012-03-05perf/x86: Sync branch stack sampling with precise_samplingStephane Eranian
If precise sampling is enabled on Intel x86 then perf_event uses PEBS. To correct for the off-by-one error of PEBS, perf_event uses LBR when precise_sample > 1. On Intel x86 PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK is implemented using LBR, therefore both features must be coordinated as they may not configure LBR the same way. For PEBS, LBR needs to capture all branches at the priv level of the associated event. This patch checks that the branch type and priv level of BRANCH_STACK is compatible with that of the PEBS LBR requirement, thereby allowing: $ perf record -b any,u -e instructions:upp .... But: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e instructions:upp Is not possible.

2012-03-05perf/x86: Add Intel LBR sharing logicStephane Eranian
The Intel LBR on some recent processor is capable of filtering branches by type. The filter is configurable via the LBR_SELECT MSR register. There are limitation on how this register can be used. On Nehalem/Westmere, the LBR_SELECT is shared by the two HT threads when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off. On SandyBridge, the LBR_SELECT register is private to each thread when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off. The kernel must manage the sharing of LBR_SELECT. It allows multiple users on the same logical CPU to use LBR_SELECT as long as they program it with the same value. Across sibling CPUs (HT threads), the same restriction applies on NHM/WSM. This patch implements this sharing logic by leveraging the mechanism put in place for managing the offcore_response shared MSR. We modify __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to cause x86_get_event_constraint() to be called because LBR may be associated with events that may be counter constrained.

2012-03-05perf: Add generic taken branch sampling supportStephane Eranian
This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control register and SVM is disabled in EFER. This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit in the performance counter control register when SVM is not enabled. The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is disabled the counter should not run at all and the not-counting is the intended behaviour.

Note that these ioctls are bogus in both forms on both 32 and 64 bits; even on 64 bits the maximum MTRR size is only 44 bits long. Note that nothing really is supposed to use these ioctls and that the preferred interface is text strings on /proc/mtrr, or better yet, nothing at all (use /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/resource*_wc for write combining; that uses PAT not MTRRs.)

Since we already have a debugreg.h header file, move the assoc. get/set functions to it. In addition to it being the logical home for them, it has a secondary advantage. The functions that are moved use BUG(). So we really need to have linux/bug.h in scope. But asm/processor.h is used about 600 times, vs. only about 15 for debugreg.h -- so adding bug.h to the latter reduces the amount of time we'll be processing it during a compile.
