| * | coresight: Remove %px for printing pcsr valueLeo Yan2018-05-141-2/+2
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver prints pcsr twice: the first time it uses specifier %px to print hexadecimal pcsr value and the second time uses specifier %pS for output kernel symbols. As suggested by Kees, using %pS should be sufficient and %px isn't necessary; the reason is if the pcsr is a kernel space address, we can easily get to know the code line from %pS format, on the other hand, if the pcsr value doesn't fall into kernel space range (e.g. if the CPU is stuck in firmware), %pS also gives out pcsr hexadecimal value. So this commit removes useless %px and update section "Output format" in the document for alignment between the code and document.

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are observed. Rafael compiled this list: * systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.] * systemd-journald misbehaves after resume: systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing. (Mike Galbraith). * NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.] * MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after system resume (Pavel). * Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.] That happens on debian and open suse systems. It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those folks who expressed interest in this change. Reported-by: Rafael J.

Currently this is only set/unset by hist triggers that make use of a common_timestamp. As such, there's no reason to make this writeable for users - its purpose is only to allow users to determine unequivocally whether or not the ring buffer is in that mode (although absolute timestamps can coexist with the normal delta timestamps, when the ring buffer is in absolute mode, timestamps written while absolute mode is in effect take up more space in the buffer, and are not as efficient).

* | mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memoryDavid Rientjes2018-04-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed. This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high- order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up. When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

| * doc: coresight: correct usage for disabling idle statesLeo Yan2017-10-201-5/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the coresight CPU debug document it suggests to use 'echo' command to set latency request to /dev/cpu_dma_latency so can disable all CPU idle states, but in fact this doesn't work. This is because when the command 'echo' exits, it releases the device node's file descriptor and the kernel release function removes the QoS constraint; finally when the command 'echo' finished there have no constraint imposed on cpu_dma_latency. This patch changes to use 'exec' to access '/dev/cpu_dma_latency', the command 'exec' can avoid the file descriptor to be closed so we can keep the constraint on cpu_dma_latency. This patch also adds the info for reference docs for PM QoS and cpuidle sysfs.
