      jiffies: Remove compile time assumptions about CLOCK_TICK_RATE · b3c869d3
      由 John Stultz 提交于 
      CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.

This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.

This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.

Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.

For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.

Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.

This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.

This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.

NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
	register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

      kbuild: add symbol prefix arg to kallsyms · 6895f97e
      由 James Hogan 提交于 
      Commit 1f2bfbd0 ("kbuild: link of
vmlinux moved to a script") introduced in v3.5-rc1 broke kallsyms on
architectures which have symbol prefixes.

The --symbol-prefix argument used to be added to the KALLSYMS command
line from the architecture Makefile, however this isn't picked up by the
new scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. This resulted in symbols like
kallsyms_addresses being added which weren't correctly overriding the
weak symbols such as _kallsyms_addresses. These could then trigger
BUG_ONs in kallsyms code.

This is fixed by removing the KALLSYMS addition from the architecture
Makefile, and using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX in the link-vmlinux.sh script
to determine whether to add the --symbol-prefix argument.

The test case:

	printf(fmt, ##args);		\
	exit(-1);} while (0)

static int create_vm(void)
{
	int sys_fd, vm_fd;

	sys_fd = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDWR);
	if (sys_fd < 0)
		die("open /dev/kvm fail.\n");

	vm_fd = ioctl(sys_fd, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0);
	if (vm_fd < 0)
		die("KVM_CREATE_VM fail.\n");

	return vm_fd;
}

static int create_vcpu(int vm_fd)
{
	int vcpu_fd;

	vcpu_fd = ioctl(vm_fd, KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 0);
	if (vcpu_fd < 0)
		die("KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl.\n");
	printf("Create vcpu.\n");
	return vcpu_fd;
}

static void *vcpu_thread(void *arg)
{
	int vm_fd = (int)(long)arg;

	create_vcpu(vm_fd);
	return NULL;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	pthread_t thread;
	int vm_fd;

	(void)argc;
	(void)argv;

	vm_fd = create_vm();
	pthread_create(&thread, NULL, vcpu_thread, (void *)(long)vm_fd);
	printf("Exit.\n");
	return 0;
}

It caused by release kvm->arch.ept_identity_map_addr which is the
error page.

The parent thread can send KILL signal to the vcpu thread when it was
exiting which stops faulting pages and potentially allocating memory.
So gfn_to_pfn/gfn_to_page may fail at this time

Fixed by checking the page before it is used

      powerpc/perf: Use pmc_overflow() to detect rolled back events · 81331211
      由 Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于 
      For certain speculative events on Power7, 'perf stat' reports far higher
event count than 'perf record' for the same event.

As described in following commit, a performance monitor exception is raised
even when the the performance events are rolled back.

        commit 0837e324
        Author: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
        Date:   Wed Mar 9 14:38:42 2011 +1100

perf_event_interrupt() records an event only when an overflow occurs. But
this check for overflow is a simple 'if (val < 0)'.

Because the events are rolled back, this check for overflow fails and the
event is not recorded. perf_event_interrupt() later uses pmc_overflow() to
detect the overflow and resets the counters and the events are lost completely.

To properly detect the overflow of rolled back events, use pmc_overflow()
even when recording events.

To reproduce:
        $ cat strcpy.c
        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <string.h>
        main()
        {
                char buf[256];

                alarm(5);
                while(1)
                        strcpy(buf, "string1");
        }

        $ perf record -e r20014 ./strcpy
        $ perf report -n > report.1
        $ perf stat -e r20014 > report.2
        # Compare report.1 and report.2
