* ARM: mach-stmp378x: remove machWolfram Sang2011-05-0245-3585/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mach has not seen any updates since the initial inclusion besides generic cleanup. Furthermore: - The i.MX23 covered in mach-mxs is just a renamed version of the STMP378x. - mach-stmp378x has a lot of reinvented interfaces, leaking all sorts of mach-related includes into the drivers. One example is the dmaengine which does not use the linux dmaengine-API but some privately exported symbols. So drivers cannot be reused. mach-mxs does it better. - There is only one board defined (which I couldn't find any trace of despite being a development board). It has been converted to mach-mxs in a previous patch. Since the only user of this mach was converted, it means that mach-stmp378x can go.

* ARM: mach-stmp37xx: remove machWolfram Sang2011-05-0234-2447/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mach has not seen any updates since the initial inclusion besides generic cleanup. Furthermore: - It has a lot of reinvented interfaces, leaking all sorts of mach-related includes into the drivers. One example is the dmaengine which does not use the linux dmaengine-API but some privately exported symbols. So, drivers cannot be reused. mach-mxs is very similar and does it better. - It can be doubted that this worked at all. Check the DMA routines in stmp37xx.c for copy/paste bugs. A lot of APBX-related stuff is actually writing into registers for APBH. - There is only one board defined (which I couldn't find any trace of despite being a development board). In this board, only two devices have resources, the debug uart and the application uart. Neither of those have the needed custom drivers merged (and never will). debug uart is amba-pl011 which has an in-kernel driver without the mach-specific-stuff. appuart has a driver which was introduced for mach-mxs, and this one is reusable for a properly done mach. So, this single board registers only unsupported devices and the generic code looks suspicious and has poor design. Delete this stuff. If there is interest, it is wiser to restart using mach-mxs.

* ARM: mach-mxs: add stmp378x-devbWolfram Sang2011-05-023-0/+131
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | STMP378x and MX23 are the same and just relabeled. There is a mach-stmp378x, however, it has a lot of reinvented interfaces, leaking all sorts of mach-specific functions into the drivers. One example is the dmaengine which does not use the linux dmaengine-API but some privately exported symbols. This makes generic use of the drivers impossible. mach-mxs does it better, so convert the board to mach-mxs. After that, it is possible to delete all stmp-specific code which should ease further ARM-consolidation. Compile tested only due to no hardware (seems not available anymore).

| * perf, x86, nmi: Move LVT un-masking into irq handlersDon Zickus2011-04-273-6/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was noticed that P4 machines were generating double NMIs for each perf event. These extra NMIs lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages on the screen. I tracked this down to a P4 quirk that said the overflow bit had to be cleared before re-enabling the apic LVT mask. My first attempt was to move the un-masking inside the perf nmi handler from before the chipset NMI handler to after. This broke Nehalem boxes that seem to like the unmasking before the counters themselves are re-enabled. In order to keep this change simple for 2.6.39, I decided to just simply move the apic LVT un-masking to the beginning of all the chipset NMI handlers, with the exception of Pentium4's to fix the double NMI issue. Later on we can move the un-masking to later in the handlers to save a number of 'extra' NMIs on those particular chipsets. I tested this change on a P4 machine, an AMD machine, a Nehalem box, and a core2quad box. 'perf top' worked correctly along with various other small 'perf record' runs. Anything high stress breaks all the machines but that is a different problem. Thanks to various people for testing different versions of this patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Nehalem CPUs the retired branch-misses event can be completely bogus, when there are no branch-misses occuring. When there are a lot of branch misses then the count is pretty accurate. Still, this leaves us with an event that over-counts a lot. Detect this erratum and work it around by using BR_MISP_EXEC.ANY events. These will also count speculated branches but still it's a lot more precise in practice than the architectural event.

This is done on every irq_create_of_mapping() which happens for instance during pci enable calls. Level typed interrupts are masked by default, edge are unmasked. On the first ->xlate() call the level interrupt is configured and masked. The driver calls request_irq() and the line is unmasked. Lets assume the interrupt line is shared with another device and we call pci_enable_device() for this device. The ->xlate() configures the pin again and it is masked. request_irq() does not unmask the line because it _is_ already unmasked according to its internal state. So the interrupt will never be unmasked again. This patch is based on an earlier work by Torben Hohn and solves the problem by configuring the pin only once. Since all devices must agree on the same type and polarity there is no point in configuring the pin more than once.

This patch stores 0's in scratchpad content area corresponding to AUTO_PERIPH_DPLL, to prevent ROM code to try to lock per DPLL, since it won't respect proper programing scheme. This register is then stored in prcm context. The saving and restore is now done by kernel side. Here follow the erratum description DESCRIPTION After OFF mode transition, among many restorations, the ROM Code restores the CM_AUTOIDLE_PLL register, and after that, it tries to relock the PER DPLL. In case the restoration data stored in scratchpad memory contains a field CM_AUTOIDLE_PLL.AUTO_PERIPH_DPLL = 1, then the way the ROM Code restores and locks the PER DPLL does not respect the PER DPLL programming scheme. In that case, the DPLL might not lock. Meanwhile, when trying to lock the PER DPLL, the ROM Code does not hang. Only extra latencies are introduced at wake-up. WORKAROUND When saving the context-restore structure in scratchpad memory, in order to respect the PER DPLL programming scheme, it is advised to store 0 in the CM_AUTOIDLE_PLL.AUTO_PERIPH_DPLL field of the saved structure. After wake-up, the application should store in CM_AUTOIDLE_PLL register the right desired value.

On OMAP4 the clock data is set up in a different way, as there's no ick, dss_fck points to a fake clock which just affects DSS's MODULEMODE, and dss_dss_clk if the DSS_FCK. >From DSS driver's point of view the dss_fck sounds like an ick, and dss_dss_clk is the fck. While this is not entirely correct from HW point of view, especially for the ick, configuring the clock aliases that way makes DSS "just work" with OMAP4's clock setup. In the (hopefully near) future DSS driver will be reworked to use pm_runtime support which should clean up the clock code.

For example, OMAP3430 core domain does not use 1.2V and ends up generating a warning on the first transition. Further, since omap2_set_init_voltage is called as part of the pm framework's initialization sequence to configure the voltage required for the current OPP, the call does(and has to) setup the system voltage(curr_volt as a result) using the right mechanisms appropriate for the system at that point of time. This also overrides initialization we are currently doing in voltage.c making it redundant. So, remove the wrong and redundant initialization.

This is necessary for generic kernel code that utilizes N_NORMAL_MEMORY as a subset of N_ONLINE for memory savings. These types of hacks can hopefully be removed once DISCONTIGMEM is either removed or abstracted away from CONFIG_NUMA. Fixes a panic in the slub code which only initializes structures for N_NORMAL_MEMORY to save memory: Backtrace: [<000000004021c938>] add_partial+0x28/0x98 [<000000004021faa0>] __slab_free+0x1d0/0x1d8 [<000000004021fd04>] kmem_cache_free+0xc4/0x128 [<000000004033bf9c>] ida_get_new_above+0x21c/0x2c0 [<00000000402a8980>] sysfs_new_dirent+0xd0/0x238 [<00000000402a974c>] create_dir+0x5c/0x168 [<00000000402a9ab0>] sysfs_create_dir+0x98/0x128 [<000000004033d6c4>] kobject_add_internal+0x114/0x258 [<000000004033d9ac>] kobject_add_varg+0x7c/0xa0 [<000000004033df20>] kobject_add+0x50/0x90 [<000000004033dfb4>] kobject_create_and_add+0x54/0xc8 [<00000000407862a0>] cgroup_init+0x138/0x1f0 [<000000004077ce50>] start_kernel+0x5a0/0x840 [<000000004011fa3c>] start_parisc+0xa4/0xb8 [<00000000404bb034>] packet_ioctl+0x16c/0x208 [<000000004049ac30>] ip_mroute_setsockopt+0x260/0xf20 Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>

The low level interrupt handler returns to the PSW address in pt_regs and not to the PSW address in the lowcore.

Instead of letting the external interrupt handlers accessing the per cpu lowcore the entry code of the kernel reads already all fields that are necessary and passes them to the handlers. The pfault interrupt handler was incorrectly converted. It tries to dereference a value which used to be a pointer to a lowcore field. After the conversion however it is not anymore the pointer to the field but its content. So instead of a dereference only a cast is needed to get the task pointer that caused the pfault. Fixes a NULL pointer dereference and a subsequent kernel crash: Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address (null) Oops: 0004 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: nfsd exportfs nfs lockd fscache nfs_acl auth_rpcgss sunrpc loop qeth_l3 qeth vmur ccwgroup ext3 jbd mbcache dm_mod dasd_eckd_mod dasd_diag_mod dasd_mod CPU: 0 Not tainted 2.6.38-2-s390x #1 Process cron (pid: 1106, task: 000000001f962f78, ksp: 000000001fa0f9d0) Krnl PSW : 0404200180000000 000000000002c03e (pfault_interrupt+0xa2/0x138) R:0 T:1 IO:0 EX:0 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:2 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 000000001f962f78 0000000000518968 0000000090000002 000000001ff03280 0000000000000000 000000000064f000 000000001f962f78 0000000000002603 0000000006002603 0000000000000000 000000001ff7fe68 000000001ff7fe48 Krnl Code: 000000000002c036: 5820d010 l %r2,16(%r13) 000000000002c03a: 1832 lr %r3,%r2 000000000002c03c: 1a31 ar %r3,%r1 >000000000002c03e: ba23d010 cs %r2,%r3,16(%r13) 000000000002c042: a744fffc brc 4,2c03a 000000000002c046: a7290002 lghi %r2,2 000000000002c04a: e320d0000024 stg %r2,0(%r13) 000000000002c050: 07f0 bcr 15,%r0 Call Trace: ([<000000001f962f78>] 0x1f962f78) [<000000000001acda>] do_extint+0xf6/0x138 [<000000000039b6ca>] ext_no_vtime+0x30/0x34 [<000000007d706e04>] 0x7d706e04 Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 For stable maintainers: the first kernel which contains this bug is 2.6.37.

This made it impossible to set the extra mask | and actually do the OFFCORE profiling | Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an extension to perf's raw event syntax: | | Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional | parameters. These can be appended after a ':'. | | For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem: | | perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1 | | Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0 | that measures any access to DRAM on another socket. | But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get access to useful hardware functionality. The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some model specific quirky hexa number. We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events, and it's all very extensible. "Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems. We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate generalization category. That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like: perf record -e dram ./myapp perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp ... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM accesses. These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that have comparable PMU features. ( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around similarly simple usecases. ) Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented in this commit: e994d7d23a0b: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented for these hardware event features. ( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely *not* such a category so generalization must be done first. ) Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above e994d7d23a0b commit, not mentioned in the changelog. As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released kernel and becomes an ABI. Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.
