      virtio: expose for non-virtualization users too · e7254219
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      virtio has been so far used only in the context of virtualization,
      and the virtio Kconfig was sourced directly by the relevant arch
      Kconfigs when VIRTUALIZATION was selected.
      
      Now that we start using virtio for inter-processor communications,
      we need to source the virtio Kconfig outside of the virtualization
      scope too.
      
      Moreover, some architectures might use virtio for both virtualization
      and inter-processor communications, so directly sourcing virtio
      might yield unexpected results due to conflicting selections.
      
      The simple solution offered by this patch is to always source virtio's
      Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig, and remove it from the appropriate arch
      Kconfigs. Additionally, a virtio menu entry has been added so virtio
      drivers don't show up in the general drivers menu.
      
      This way anyone can use virtio, though it's arguably less accessible
      (and neat!) for virtualization users now.
      
      Note: some architectures (mips and sh) seem to have a VIRTUALIZATION
      menu merely for sourcing virtio's Kconfig, so that menu is removed too.

      perf, arch: Add generic NODE cache events · 89d6c0b5
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure
      local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an
      ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads
      and writes do reads only etc..
      
      The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with
      unsupported events).
      
      I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as
      an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since
      it does appear to have some NUMA bits.
      
      Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they
      clearly are NUMA capable.

      perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interface · a8b0ca17
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
      context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
      resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
      
      For the various event classes:
      
        - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
          the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
        - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
        - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
          perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
      
      As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
      not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
      jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
      
      The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
      bunch of conditionals in fast paths.
