      x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints · cf910e83
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [Purpose of this patch]
      
      As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
      are useful.
      
      http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html
      
      <snip>
      The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
      provide when an interrupt is handled.  They provide good data about when
      the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
      running processes.
      
      There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
      which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers.  Tracing such events gives
      us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.
      
      The trace also tells where the system is spending its time.  We want to
      know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
      processes in the system.  Also, the trace provides information about when
      the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
      <snip>
      
      On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
      getting a value of instruction pointer.
      
      I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
      But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
      So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.
      
      [Patch Description]
      
      Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
      But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
      In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.
      
      So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
      so that we can enable them independently.
         - local_timer_vector
         - reschedule_vector
         - call_function_vector
         - call_function_single_vector
         - irq_work_entry_vector
         - error_apic_vector
         - thermal_apic_vector
         - threshold_apic_vector
         - spurious_apic_vector
         - x86_platform_ipi_vector
      
      Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
      makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
       - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
       - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
         _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
       - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
         macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
       - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
         This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
         - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
         - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
           is disabled.
      
      In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
      used for other purposes.

      x86: Clean up the hypervisor layer · e08cae41
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Clean up the hypervisor layer and the hypervisor drivers, using an ops
      structure instead of an enumeration with if statements.
      
      The identity of the hypervisor, if needed, can be tested by testing
      the pointer value in x86_hyper.
      
      The MS-HyperV private state is moved into a normal global variable
      (it's per-system state, not per-CPU state).  Being a normal bss
      variable, it will be left at all zero on non-HyperV platforms, and so
      can generally be tested for HyperV-specific features without
      additional qualification.

      x86: Detect running on a Microsoft HyperV system · a2a47c6c
      Ky Srinivasan 提交于
      This patch integrates HyperV detection within the framework currently
      used by VmWare. With this patch, we can avoid having to replicate the
      HyperV detection code in each of the Microsoft HyperV drivers.
      
      Reworked and tweaked by Greg K-H to build properly.
