      x86, nmi: Wire up NMI handlers to new routines · 9c48f1c6
      Don Zickus 提交于
      Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines.
      Most of it is straight forward conversion.  A couple of places needed some
      tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler
      and mce removes a call to notify_die.
      
      [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).

      x86, nmi: Create new NMI handler routines · c9126b2e
      Don Zickus 提交于
      The NMI handlers used to rely on the notifier infrastructure.  This worked
      great until we wanted to support handling multiple events better.
      
      One of the key ideas to the nmi handling is to process _all_ the handlers for
      each NMI.  The reason behind this switch is because NMIs are edge triggered.
      If enough NMIs are triggered, then they could be lost because the cpu can
      only latch at most one NMI (besides the one currently being processed).
      
      In order to deal with this we have decided to process all the NMI handlers
      for each NMI.  This allows the handlers to determine if they recieved an
      event or not (the ones that can not determine this will be left to fend
      for themselves on the unknown NMI list).
      
      As a result of this change it is now possible to have an extra NMI that
      was destined to be received for an already processed event.  Because the
      event was processed in the previous NMI, this NMI gets dropped and becomes
      an 'unknown' NMI.  This of course will cause printks that scare people.
      
      However, we prefer to have extra NMIs as opposed to losing NMIs and as such
      are have developed a basic mechanism to catch most of them.  That will be
      a later patch.
      
      To accomplish this idea, I unhooked the nmi handlers from the notifier
      routines and created a new mechanism loosely based on doIRQ.  The reason
      for this is the notifier routines have a couple of shortcomings.  One we
      could't guarantee all future NMI handlers used NOTIFY_OK instead of
      NOTIFY_STOP.  Second, we couldn't keep track of the number of events being
      handled in each routine (most only handle one, perf can handle more than one).
      Third, I wanted to eventually display which nmi handlers are registered in
      the system in /proc/interrupts to help see who is generating NMIs.
      
      The patch below just implements the new infrastructure but doesn't wire it up
      yet (that is the next patch).  Its design is based on doIRQ structs and the
      atomic notifier routines.  So the rcu stuff in the patch isn't entirely untested
      (as the notifier routines have soaked it) but it should be double checked in
      case I copied the code wrong.

      x86, nmi: Split out nmi from traps.c · 1d48922c
      Don Zickus 提交于
      The nmi stuff is changing a lot and adding more functionality.  Split it
      out from the traps.c file so it doesn't continue to pollute that file.
      
      This makes it easier to find and expand all the future nmi related work.
      
      No real functional changes here.

      perf, intel: Use GO/HO bits in perf-ctr · 144d31e6
      Gleb Natapov 提交于
      Intel does not have guest/host-only bit in perf counters like AMD
      does.  To support GO/HO bits KVM needs to switch EVENTSELn values
      (or PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL if available) at a guest entry. If a counter is
      configured to count only in a guest mode it stays disabled in a host,
      but VMX is configured to switch it to enabled value during guest entry.
      
      This patch adds GO/HO tracking to Intel perf code and provides interface
      for KVM to get a list of MSRs that need to be switched on a guest entry.
      
      Only cpus with architectural PMU (v1 or later) are supported with this
      patch.  To my knowledge there is not p6 models with VMX but without
      architectural PMU and p4 with VMX are rare and the interface is general
      enough to support them if need arise.
