Impact: new unlikely/likely profiler Andrew Morton recently suggested having an in-kernel way to profile likely and unlikely macros. This patch achieves that goal. When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by: /debugfs/tracing/profile_likely - All likely markers /debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely - All unlikely markers. # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | head correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 2167 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 832 0 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 804 2670 0 0 IS_ERR err.h 34 71230 5693 7 __switch_to process_64.c 673 76919 0 0 __switch_to process_64.c 639 43184 33743 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12740 64181 83 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12740 64174 83 __switch_to process_64.c 590 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | \ awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' |head -20 44963 35259 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12762 67454 84 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12762 67447 84 __switch_to process_64.c 590 1478 595 28 syscall_get_error syscall.h 51 0 2821 100 syscall_trace_leave ptrace.c 1567 0 1 100 native_smp_prepare_cpus smpboot.c 1237 86338 265881 75 calc_delta_fair sched_fair.c 408 210410 108540 34 calc_delta_mine sched.c 1267 0 54550 100 sched_info_queued sched_stats.h 222 51899 66435 56 pick_next_task_fair sched_fair.c 1422 6 10 62 yield_task_fair sched_fair.c 982 7325 2692 26 rt_policy sched.c 144 0 1270 100 pre_schedule_rt sched_rt.c 1261 1268 48073 97 pick_next_task_rt sched_rt.c 884 0 45181 100 sched_info_dequeued sched_stats.h 177 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8700 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8690 53167 33217 38 schedule sched.c 4457 0 80208 100 sched_info_switch sched_stats.h 270 30585 49631 61 context_switch sched.c 2619 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_likely | awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' 39900 36577 47 pick_next_task sched.c 4397 20824 15233 42 switch_mm mmu_context_64.h 18 0 7 100 __cancel_work_timer workqueue.c 560 617 66484 99 clocksource_adjust timekeeping.c 456 0 346340 100 audit_syscall_exit auditsc.c 1570 38 347350 99 audit_get_context auditsc.c 732 0 345244 100 audit_syscall_entry auditsc.c 1541 38 1017 96 audit_free auditsc.c 1446 0 1090 100 audit_alloc auditsc.c 862 2618 1090 29 audit_alloc auditsc.c 858 0 6 100 move_masked_irq migration.c 9 1 198 99 probe_sched_wakeup trace_sched_switch.c 58 2 2 50 probe_wakeup trace_sched_wakeup.c 227 0 2 100 probe_wakeup_sched_switch trace_sched_wakeup.c 144 4514 2090 31 __grab_cache_page filemap.c 2149 12882 228786 94 mapping_unevictable pagemap.h 50 4 11 73 __flush_cpu_slab slub.c 1466 627757 330451 34 slab_free slub.c 1731 2959 61245 95 dentry_lru_del_init dcache.c 153 946 1217 56 load_elf_binary binfmt_elf.c 904 102 82 44 disk_put_part genhd.h 206 1 1 50 dst_gc_task dst.c 82 0 19 100 tcp_mss_split_point tcp_output.c 1126 As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits that were more than 25%. Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up the following ideas from: 1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values. 2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers. 3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely annotations from vsyscall_64.c. Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar for their feed back on this patch. (*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing Add low level support for ftrace return tracing. This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of the current task. The index of the current return address is initialized when the task is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall, it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called. Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3. For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution. That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on this function enabled.

Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so that they can't be updated illegally. As a result, if a page is being turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings are RO. If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped. This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning the page. Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

Since Jan Beulich's fix "i386/PAE: fix pud_page()", pud_page does return a struct page *. Because PAE has 3 pagetable levels, the pud level is folded into the pgd level, so pgd_page() is the same as pud_page(), and now returns a struct page *.

This fixes a regression introduced by 2c6e6db4 "Minimize per_cpu reservations." That patch incorrectly used information about what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI. The end result was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a NULL pointer reference. Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU info. This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the "Minimize per_cpu reservations". This patch just fixes the regressions, the cleanup will come in a later patch.

As of 73bdf0a6, the kernel needs to know where modules are located in the virtual address space. On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END. Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END. Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the vmalloc space. Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

It adds a new variable called function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount when set. This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion like preempt_disable(). It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine. The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code. x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: make NR_IRQS big enough for system with lots of apic/pins If lots of IO_APIC's are there (or can be there), size the same way as 64-bit, depending on MAX_IO_APICS and NR_CPUS. This fixes the boot problem reported by Ben Hutchings on a 32-bit server with 5 IO-APICs and 240 IO-APIC pins.

Impact: fix boot hang on 32-bit systems with more than 224 IO-APIC pins On some 32-bit systems with a lot of IO-APICs probe_nr_irqs() can return a value larger than NR_IRQS. This will lead to probe_irq_on() overrunning the irq_desc array. I hit this when running net-next-2.6 (close to 2.6.28-rc3) on a Supermicro dual Xeon system. NR_IRQS is 224 but probe_nr_irqs() detects 5 IOAPICs and returns 240. Here are the log messages: Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x01] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0]) Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 1, version 32, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23 Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x02] address[0xfec81000] gsi_base[24]) Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 2, version 32, address 0xfec81000, GSI 24-47 Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x03] address[0xfec81400] gsi_base[48]) Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 IOAPIC[2]: apic_id 3, version 32, address 0xfec81400, GSI 48-71 Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x04] address[0xfec82000] gsi_base[72]) Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 IOAPIC[3]: apic_id 4, version 32, address 0xfec82000, GSI 72-95 Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x05] address[0xfec82400] gsi_base[96]) Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 IOAPIC[4]: apic_id 5, version 32, address 0xfec82400, GSI 96-119 Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 0 global_irq 2 high edge) Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 9 global_irq 9 high level) Tue Nov 4 16:53:47 2008 Enabling APIC mode: Flat.

Impact: improve wakeup affinity on NUMA systems, tweak SMP systems Given the fixes+tweaks to the wakeup-buddy code, re-tweak the domain balancing defaults on NUMA and SMP systems. Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well. (we already do this in the standard NUMA template.) lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change: before: | phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 | "size=0k ovr=2.60 | 2 5.70 after: | phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 | "size=0k ovr=2.65 | 2 2.07 a 2.75x speedup. pipe-test is similarly happy about it too: | phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test | 18.26 usecs/loop. | 14.70 usecs/loop. | 14.38 usecs/loop. | 10.55 usecs/loop. # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1 | 8.63 usecs/loop. | 8.59 usecs/loop. | 9.03 usecs/loop. | 8.94 usecs/loop. | 8.96 usecs/loop. | 8.63 usecs/loop. Also: - disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings) - enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains Sysbench+postgresql improves all around the board, quite significantly: .28-rc3-11474e2c .28-rc3-11474e2c-tune ------------------------------------------------- 1: 571 688 +17.08% 2: 1236 1206 -2.55% 4: 2381 2642 +9.89% 8: 4958 5164 +3.99% 16: 9580 9574 -0.07% 32: 7128 8118 +12.20% 64: 7342 8266 +11.18% 128: 7342 8064 +8.95% 256: 7519 7884 +4.62% 512: 7350 7731 +4.93% ------------------------------------------------- SUM: 55412 59341 +6.62% So it's a win both for the runup portion, the peak area and the tail.

This gets rid of this build warning: arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pci_dlpar.c: In function 'init_phb_dynamic': arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pci_dlpar.c:192: warning: unused variable 'b' This is one of the very few warnings left in a ppc64_defconfig build and getting rid of it will make it easier to see future introduced ones (in fact this was introduced very recently).
