      x86, trace: Introduce entering/exiting_irq() · eddc0e92
      由 Seiji Aguchi 提交于 
      When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are
simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers,
it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty.

To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and
switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time.

So, let's introduce entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post-
processing of each irq handler.

A way to use them is as follows.

Non-trace irq handler:
smp_irq_handler()
{
	entering_irq();		/* pre-processing of this handler */
	__smp_irq_handler();	/*
				 * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
				 * in a vector.
				 */
	exiting_irq();		/* post-processing of this handler */

}

Trace irq_handler:
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
	entering_irq();		/* pre-processing of this handler */
	trace_irq_entry();	/* tracepoint for irq entry */
	__smp_irq_handler();	/*
				 * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
				 * in a vector.
				 */
	trace_irq_exit();	/* tracepoint for irq exit */
	exiting_irq();		/* post-processing of this handler */

}

If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows,
it looks cleaner.

smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
	trace_irq_entry();
	smp_irq_handler();
	trace_irq_exit();
}

But it doesn't work.
The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before
trace_irq_enter/exit(),  because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before
any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use  rcu to synchronize.

As a possible alternative, we may be able to call irq_enter() first as follows
if irq_enter() can nest.

smp_trace_irq_hander()
{
	irq_entry();
	trace_irq_entry();
	smp_irq_handler();
	trace_irq_exit();
	irq_exit();
}

But it doesn't work, either.
If irq_enter() is nested, it may have a time penalty because it has to check if it
was already called or not. The time penalty is not desired in performance sensitive
paths even if it is tiny.

      perf/x86/intel/P4: Robistify P4 PMU types · 5ac2b5c2
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Linus found, while extending integer type extension checks in the
sparse static code checker, various fragile patterns of mixed
signed/unsigned  64-bit/32-bit integer use in perf_events_p4.c.

The relevant hardware register ABI is 64 bit wide on 32-bit
kernels as  well, so clean it all up a bit, remove unnecessary
casts, and make sure we  use 64-bit unsigned integers in these
places.

[ Unfortunately this patch was not tested on real P4 hardware,
  those are pretty rare already. If this patch causes any
  problems on P4 hardware then please holler ... ]

      x86: Use a read-only IDT alias on all CPUs · 4eefbe79
      由 Kees Cook 提交于 
      Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only.
This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory
write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel
base offset, if it has been relocated.

We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the
F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or
not.  Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to
be very specific.  This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs,
but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver
the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5
processors.

      perf/x86: Fix uninitialized pt_regs in intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() · 0e48026a
      由 Stephane Eranian 提交于 
      This patch fixes an uninitialized pt_regs struct in drain BTS
function. The pt_regs struct is propagated all the way to the
code_get_segment() function from perf_instruction_pointer()
and may get garbage.

We cannot simply inherit the actual pt_regs from the interrupt
because BTS must be flushed on context-switch or when the
associated event is disabled. And there we do not have a pt_regs
handy.

Setting pt_regs to all zeroes may not be the best option but it
is not clear what else to do given where the drain_bts_buffer()
is called from.

In V2, we move the memset() later in the code to avoid doing it
when we end up returning early without doing the actual BTS
processing. Also dropped the reg.val initialization because it
is redundant with the memset() as suggested by PeterZ.
