      perf/x86/intel: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds · 294fe0f5
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period
that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period
should not be smaller than 128.

This is erratum BDM11 and BDM55:

  http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/5th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf

BDM11: When using a period < 100; we may get incorrect PEBS/PMI
interrupts and/or an invalid counter state.
BDM55: When bit0-5 of the period are !0 we may get redundant PEBS
records on overflow.

Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell.

How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific
period with some of the bottom bits set?

Short answer:

Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders
of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions
would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled.
So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the
period, much smaller than normal system jitter.

Long answer (by Peterz):

IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128.

Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left
to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We
get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and
don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again,
at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get
an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We
fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an
overflow). And on and on.

So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with
interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And
this works for everything >=128.

So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127,
which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow.

So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create
INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128.

      perf/x86/intel: Add Broadwell core support · 91f1b705
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Add Broadwell support for Broadwell to perf.

The basic support is very similar to Haswell. We use the new cache
event list added for Haswell earlier. The only differences
are a few bits related to remote nodes. To avoid an extra,
mostly identical, table these are patched up in the initialization code.

The constraint list has one new event that needs to be handled over Haswell.

Includes code and testing from Kan Liang.

      perf/x86/intel: Add new cache events table for Haswell · 0f1b5ca2
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Haswell offcore events are quite different from Sandy Bridge.
Add a new table to handle Haswell properly.

Note that the offcore bits listed in the SDM are not quite correct
(this is currently being fixed). An uptodate list of bits is
in the patch.

The basic setup is similar to Sandy Bridge. The prefetch columns
have been removed, as prefetch counting is not very reliable
on Haswell. One L1 event that is not in the event list anymore
has been also removed.

- data reads do not include code reads (comparable to earlier Sandy Bridge tables)
- data counts include speculative execution (except L1 write, dtlb, bpu)
- remote node access includes both remote memory, remote cache, remote mmio.
- prefetches are not included in the counts for consistency
  (different from Sandy Bridge, which includes prefetches in the remote node)

Peter Zijlstra has attempted to help out, to clean up the mess:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/28/543

But has not received helpful and constructive replies which makes
me doubt wether it can all be finished in time until v3.18 is
released.

Despite various review feedback the author (Andi Kleen) has answered
only few of the review questions and has generally been uncooperative,
only giving replies when prompted repeatedly, and only giving minimal
answers instead of constructively explaining and helping along the effort.

That kind of behavior is not acceptable.

There's also a boot crash on Intel E5-1630 v3 CPUs reported for another
commit from Andi Kleen:

  e735b9db ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add Haswell-EP uncore support")

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/22/730

Which is not yet resolved. The uncore driver is independent in theory,
but the crash makes me worry about how well all these patches were
tested and makes me uneasy about the level of interminging that the
Broadwell and Haswell code has received by the commits above.

As a first step to resolve the mess revert the Broadwell client commits
back to the v3.17 version, before we run out of time and problematic
code hits a stable upstream kernel.

( If the Haswell-EP crash is not resolved via a simple fix then we'll have
  to revert the Haswell-EP uncore driver as well. )

The Broadwell client series has to be submitted in a clean fashion, with
single, well documented changes per patch. If they are submitted in time
and are accepted during review then they can possibly go into v3.19 but
will need additional scrutiny due to the rocky history of this patch set.

      x86: Replace __get_cpu_var uses · 89cbc767
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)

      perf/x86/intel: ignore CondChgd bit to avoid false NMI handling · b292d7a1
      由 HATAYAMA Daisuke 提交于 
      Currently, any NMI is falsely handled by a NMI handler of NMI watchdog
if CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR is set.

For example, we use external NMI to make system panic to get crash
dump, but in this case, the external NMI is falsely handled do to the
issue.

This commit deals with the issue simply by ignoring CondChgd bit.

Here is explanation in detail.

On x86 NMI watchdog uses performance monitoring feature to
periodically signal NMI each time performance counter gets overflowed.

intel_pmu_handle_irq() is called as a NMI_LOCAL handler from a NMI
handler of NMI watchdog, perf_event_nmi_handler(). It identifies an
owner of a given NMI by looking at overflow status bits in
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR. If some of the bits are set, then it
handles the given NMI as its own NMI.

The problem is that the intel_pmu_handle_irq() doesn't distinguish
CondChgd bit from other bits. Unlike the other status bits, CondChgd
bit doesn't represent overflow status for performance counters. Thus,
CondChgd bit cannot be thought of as a mark indicating a given NMI is
NMI watchdog's.

As a result, if CondChgd bit is set, any NMI is falsely handled by the
NMI handler of NMI watchdog. Also, if type of the falsely handled NMI
is either NMI_UNKNOWN, NMI_SERR or NMI_IO_CHECK, the corresponding
action is never performed until CondChgd bit is cleared.

I noticed this behavior on systems with Ivy Bridge processors: Intel
Xeon CPU E5-2630 v2 and Intel Xeon CPU E7-8890 v2. On both systems,
CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR has already been set
in the beginning at boot. Then the CondChgd bit is immediately cleared
by next wrmsr to MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR and appears to remain
0.

On the other hand, on older processors such as Nehalem, Xeon E7540,
CondChgd bit is not set in the beginning at boot.

I'm not sure about exact behavior of CondChgd bit, in particular when
this bit is set. Although I read Intel System Programmer's Manual to
figure out that, the descriptions I found are:

  In 18.9.1:

  "The MSR_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR also provides a ¡sticky bit¢ to
   indicate changes to the state of performancmonitoring hardware"

  In Table 35-2 IA-32 Architectural MSRs

  63 CondChg: status bits of this register has changed.

These are different from the bahviour I see on the actual system as I
explained above.

At least, I think ignoring CondChgd bit should be enough for NMI
watchdog perspective.
