* perf: Fix arch_perf_out_copy_user defaultPeter Zijlstra2013-11-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of __copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied. Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes not copied. Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.

* perf/x86/amd: Unify AMD's generic and family 15h pmusRobert Richter2012-07-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no need for keeping separate pmu structs. We can enable amd_{get,put}_event_constraints() functions also for family 15h event. The advantage is that there is only a single pmu struct for all AMD cpus. This patch introduces functions to setup the pmu to enabe core performance counters or counter constraints. Also, cpuid checks are used instead of family checks where possible. Thus, it enables the code independently of cpu families if the feature flag is set.

| * | oprofile, x86: Reimplement nmi timer mode using perf eventRobert Richter2011-11-043-90/+9

This broke Oprofile's nmi timer mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source. V2: * removing pr_info() * fix undefined reference to `__udivdi3' for 32 bit build * fix section mismatch of .cpuinit.data:nmi_timer_cpu_nb * removed nmi timer setup in arch/x86 * implemented function stubs for op_nmi_init/exit() * made code more readable in oprofile_init() V3: * fix architectural initialization in oprofile_init() * fix CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER dependencies Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c manually. Ingo's tree did the insane "add volatile to const array", which just doesn't make sense ("volatile const"?). But we could remove the const *and* make the array volatile to make doubly sure that gcc doesn't optimize it away.. Also fix up kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c non-data-conflicts manually: the reader_lock has been turned into a raw lock by the core locking merge, and there was a new user of it introduced in this perf core merge. Make sure that new use also uses the raw accessor functions.

[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/27/114 And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163] The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

* oprofile, x86: Fix race in nmi handler while starting countersRobert Richter2011-06-151-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some rare cases, nmis are generated immediately after the nmi handler of the cpu was started. This causes the counter not to be enabled. Before enabling the nmi handlers we need to set variable ctr_running first and make sure its value is written to memory. Also, the patch makes all existing barriers a memory barrier instead of a compiler barrier only.

| * oprofile, x86: Allow setting EDGE/INV/CMASK for counter eventsAndi Kleen2011-03-242-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some performance events it's useful to set the EDGE and INV bits and the CMASK mask in the counter control register. The list of predefined events Intel releases for each CPU has some events which require these settings to get more "natural" to use higher level events. oprofile currently doesn't allow this. This patch adds new extra configuration fields for them, so that they can be specified in oprofilefs. An updated oprofile daemon can then make use of this to set them. v2: Write back masked extra value to variable.

* | x86: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev classes and sysdevsRafael J. Wysocki2011-03-231-32/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this purpose. This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for this purpose instead. Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that, because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c). In all of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign. However this was not going to happen because scan start point was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not meet. Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked invalid. This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit. Instead of calling the die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before the if-statement. This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent) internal NMIs are dealt with.

The function only checks the ibs capabilities and sets up pci devices (if necessary). It runs only on one cpu but operates with the local APIC and some MSRs, thus it is better to disable preemption.

This shift has caused a whole bunch of compile problems under different config options. I attempt to simplify things with the patch below. In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing, the former on a local level and the latter on a global level. With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't make sense any more. x86 will now use the global implementation. The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog functionality, so the change should make sense. Second, I removed the x86 implementation of touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation. Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This changes removes some of the ugliness in that file. Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can only have one nmi_watchdog. Tested with ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken emails. :-) v3: changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

| * | | x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routinesSoeren Sandmann Pedersen2010-11-181-1/+1
| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass 0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing: (a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any (b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack (c) Trace some other task In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just be 0. If it _is_ defined, then - in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so the caller should pass NULL for regs, - in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to dump_trace(), - in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so the caller should pass NULL for regs. Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp. This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs) that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the two versions of dump_stack().
