The table mapping CPUID bits to human-readable strings takes up a non-trivial amount of space, and only exists to support /proc/cpuinfo and a couple of kernel messages. Since programs depend on the format of /proc/cpuinfo, force inclusion of the table when building with /proc support; otherwise, support omitting that table to save space, in which case the kernel messages will print features numerically instead. In addition to saving 1408 bytes out of vmlinux, this also saves 1373 bytes out of the uncompressed setup code, which contributes directly to the size of bzImage.

We've grown a bunch of microcode loader files all prefixed with "microcode_". They should be under cpu/ because this is strictly CPU-related functionality so do that and drop the prefix since they're in their own directory now which gives that prefix. :) While at it, drop MICROCODE_INTEL_LIB config item and stash the functionality under CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL as it was its only user.

This patch adds a new uncore PMU to expose the Intel RAPL energy consumption counters. Up to 3 counters, each counting a particular RAPL event are exposed. The RAPL counters are available on Intel SandyBridge, IvyBridge, Haswell. The server skus add a 3rd counter. The following events are available and exposed in sysfs: - power/energy-cores: power consumption of all cores on socket - power/energy-pkg: power consumption of all cores + LLc cache - power/energy-dram: power consumption of DRAM (servers only) For each event both the unit (Joules) and scale (2^-32 J) is exposed in sysfs for use by perf stat and other tools. The files are: /sys/devices/power/events/energy-*.unit /sys/devices/power/events/energy-*.scale The RAPL PMU is uncore by nature and is implemented such that it only works in system-wide mode. Measuring only one CPU per socket is sufficient. The /sys/devices/power/cpumask file can be used by tools to figure out which CPUs to monitor by default. For instance, on a 2-socket system, 2 CPUs (one on each socket) will be shown. All the counters measure in the same unit (exposed via sysfs). The perf_events API exposes all RAPL counters as 64-bit integers counting in unit of 1/2^32 Joules (about 0.23 nJ). User level tools must convert the counts by multiplying them by 2^-32 to obtain Joules. The reason for this is that the kernel avoids doing floating point math whenever possible because it is expensive (user floating-point state must be saved). The method used avoids kernel floating-point usage. There is no loss of precision. Thanks to PeterZ for suggesting this approach. To convert the raw count in Watt: W = C * 2.3 / (1e10 * time) or ldexp(C, -32). RAPL PMU is a new standalone PMU which registers with the perf_event core subsystem. The PMU type (attr->type) is dynamically allocated and is available from /sys/device/power/type. Sampling is not supported by the RAPL PMU. There is no privilege level filtering either.

Implement a perf PMU to handle IOMMU performance counters and events. The PMU only supports counting mode (e.g. perf stat). Since the counters are shared across all cores, the PMU is implemented as "system-wide" mode. To invoke the AMD IOMMU PMU, issue a perf tool command such as: ./perf stat -a -e amd_iommu/<events>/ <command> or: ./perf stat -a -e amd_iommu/config=<config-data>,config1=<config1-data>/ <command> For example: ./perf stat -a -e amd_iommu/mem_trans_total/ <command> The resulting count will be how many IOMMU total peripheral memory operations were performed during the command execution window.

The following patch adds perf_event support for the Xeon-Phi PMU, as documented in the "Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (codename: Knights Corner) Performance Monitoring Units" manual. Even though it is a co-processor, a Phi runs a full Linux environment and can support performance counters. This is just barebones support, it does not add support for interesting new features such as the SPFLT intruction that allows starting/stopping events without entering the kernel. The PMU internally is just like that of an original Pentium, but a "P6-like" MSR interface is provided. The interface is different enough from a real P6 that it's not easy (or practical) to re-use the code in perf_event_p6.c Acked-by: NLawrence F Meadows <lawrence.f.meadows@intel.com> Acked-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: NVince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: eranian@gmail.com Cc: Lawrence F <lawrence.f.meadows@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.02.1209261405320.8398@vincent-weaver-1.um.maine.eduSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature or CPU. Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often doesn't work. This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number and also based on CPUID feature bits. For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS which relies on fast CRC. Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU. Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this. It works with existing udev without any changes. The code exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs that can be matched by udev's pattern matching. This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing that would require changing udev. Another issue is that udev will happily load all drivers that match, there is currently no nice way to stop a specific driver from being loaded if it's not needed (e.g. if you don't need fast CRC) But there are not that many cpu specific drivers around and they're all not that bloated, so this isn't a particularly serious issue. Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers. This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices, which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this. This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions in followups.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

APERF/MPERF support for cpu_power. APERF/MPERF is arch defined to be a relative scale of work capacity per logical cpu, this is assumed to include SMT and Turbo mode. APERF/MPERF are specified to both reset to 0 when either counter wraps, which is highly inconvenient, since that'll give a blimp when that happens. The manual specifies writing 0 to the counters after each read, but that's 1) too expensive, and 2) destroys the possibility of sharing these counters with other users, so we live with the blimp - the other existing user does too.

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.

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.

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c is now 100% identical to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd_64.c, so use amd.c on 64-bit too and fix up the namespace impact. Simplify the Kconfig glue as well. Signed-off-by: NYinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Use cpu/common.c on both 64-bit and 32-bit and remove cpu/common_64.c. We started out with this linecount: 816 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common_64.c 805 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c and the resulting common.c is 1197 lines long, so there's already 424 lines of code eliminated in this phase of the unification.

1. add c_x86_vendor into cpu_dev 2. change cpu_devs to static 3. check c_x86_vendor before put that cpu_dev into array 4. remove alignment for 64bit 5. order the sequence in cpu_devs according to link sequence... so could put intel at first, then amd...

We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in /proc/cpuinfo. This patch generates the latter from the former. It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by making that require a separate action it should at least be less likely to happen. It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace interface and must remain constant.) Signed-off-by: NH.

This patch adds some configuration options that allow to compile out CPU vendor-specific code in x86 kernels (in arch/x86/kernel/cpu). The new configuration options are only visible when CONFIG_EMBEDDED is selected, as they are mostly interesting for space savings reasons. An example of size saving, on x86 with only Intel CPU support: text data bss dec hex filename 1125479 118760 212992 1457231 163c4f vmlinux.old 1121355 116536 212992 1450883 162383 vmlinux -4124 -2224 0 -6348 -18CC +/- However, I'm not exactly sure that the Kconfig wording is correct with regard to !64BIT / 64BIT.

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c defines a few fallback functions (cmpxchg_*()) that are used when the CPU doesn't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64 natively. However, while defined in an Intel-specific file, these functions are also used for CPUs from other vendors when they don't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64. This breaks the compilation when support for Intel CPUs is disabled. This patch moves these functions to a new arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cmpxchg.c file, unconditionally compiled when X86_32 is enabled.
