      tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3 · 0ca59dd9
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime
      
      On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state.
      On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but
      it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data
      is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a
      crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime.
      
      Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too.
      
      Changes on v2:
      
      We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the
      current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing.
      
      This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where
      the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper
      function used at this stage.

      cpumask: change cpumask_scnprintf, cpumask_parse_user, cpulist_parse, and cpulist_scnprintf to take pointers.
      
      Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs
      
      Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by
      cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.
      
      These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
      they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

      tracing: add "power-tracer": C/P state tracer to help power optimization · f3f47a67
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin
      
      This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate
      detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used,
      so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state
      code is making, rather than the too high level "average"
      that we have today.
      
      An example way of using this is:
      
       mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
       echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
       echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
       sleep 1
       echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled

      [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: ignore out-of-range PstateStatus value · a266d9f1
      Andreas Herrmann 提交于
      A workaround for AMD CPU family 11h erratum 311 might cause that the
      P-state Status Register shows a "current P-state" which is larger than
      the "current P-state limit" in P-state Current Limit Register. For the
      wrong P-state value there is no ACPI _PSS object defined and
      powernow-k8/cpufreq can't determine the proper CPU frequency for that
      state.
      
      As a consequence this can cause a panic during boot (potentially with
      all recent kernel versions -- at least I have reproduced it with
      various 2.6.27 kernels and with the current .28 series), as an
      example:

      Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
      
      In short, aftereffect of the wrong P-state is that
      cpufreq_stats_update() uses "-1" as index for some array in
      
      cpufreq_stats_update (unsigned int cpu)
      {
      ...
           if (stat->time_in_state)
                      stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
                              cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
                                            cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));
      ...
      }
      
      Fortunately, the wrong P-state value is returned only if the core is
      in P-state 0. This fix solves the problem by detecting the
      out-of-range P-state, ignoring it, and using "0" instead.

      In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific

      Add a interface to check the serial key, when checking for VMware in the DMI

      Alok Kataria 提交于
      Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.
      
      Use the synthetic TSC_RELIABLE bit to workaround virtualization anomalies.
      
      Virtual TSCs can be kept nearly in sync, but because the virtual TSC
      offset is set by software, it's not perfect.  So, the TSC
      synchronization test can fail. Even then the TSC can be used as a
      clocksource since the VMware platform exports a reliable TSC to the
      guest for timekeeping purposes. Use this bit to check if we need to
      skip the TSC sync checks.
      
      Along with this also set the CONSTANT_TSC bit when on VMware, since we
      still want to use TSC as clocksource on VM running over hardware which
      has unsynchronized TSC's (opteron's), since the hypervisor will take
      care of providing consistent TSC to the guest.

      x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor · 88b094fb
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.
      
      v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request
      	 behind a hypervisor.c file
      v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure.
      	 This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function.
      
      This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware.
      The current way to check if we are on VMware is following,
      #  check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000
         cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature.
      #  if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string
         if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are
         under VMware.
      
      The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products,
      which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf.
      Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor
      port should never be accessed on native hardware.
      
      This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of
      calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized
      environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from
      the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware.
      Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on
      their platform.
