From 124d395fd05efb65d00ca23c7bcc86c272bd8813 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 20:35:04 +0200 Subject: i386: do not BUG_ON() when MSR is unknown Here is a small patch to change the behavior of the PMU msr allocator to avoid BUG_ON() when the MSR is unknwon. Instead, it now returns ok, which means "I do not manage". The current allocator is not yet managing the full set of PMU registers (e.g., GLOBAL_* on Core 2). [watchdog] do not BUG_ON() in the MSR allocator if MSR is unknown, return ok instead Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c | 16 ++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c index 54cdbf1a40f1..c02541e6e653 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c @@ -120,7 +120,9 @@ int reserve_perfctr_nmi(unsigned int msr) unsigned int counter; counter = nmi_perfctr_msr_to_bit(msr); - BUG_ON(counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS); + /* register not managed by the allocator? */ + if (counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS) + return 1; if (!test_and_set_bit(counter, perfctr_nmi_owner)) return 1; @@ -132,7 +134,9 @@ void release_perfctr_nmi(unsigned int msr) unsigned int counter; counter = nmi_perfctr_msr_to_bit(msr); - BUG_ON(counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS); + /* register not managed by the allocator? */ + if (counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS) + return; clear_bit(counter, perfctr_nmi_owner); } @@ -142,7 +146,9 @@ int reserve_evntsel_nmi(unsigned int msr) unsigned int counter; counter = nmi_evntsel_msr_to_bit(msr); - BUG_ON(counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS); + /* register not managed by the allocator? */ + if (counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS) + return 1; if (!test_and_set_bit(counter, evntsel_nmi_owner)) return 1; @@ -154,7 +160,9 @@ void release_evntsel_nmi(unsigned int msr) unsigned int counter; counter = nmi_evntsel_msr_to_bit(msr); - BUG_ON(counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS); + /* register not managed by the allocator? */ + if (counter > NMI_MAX_COUNTER_BITS) + return; clear_bit(counter, evntsel_nmi_owner); } -- cgit v1.2.1
