      x86 idle: deprecate "no-hlt" cmdline param · cdaab4a0
      Len Brown 提交于
      We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on
      every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had
      marginal electricals 15-years ago.  If those machines are still running
      the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll".  The only difference
      will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt().

      x86 idle: clarify AMD erratum 400 workaround · 02c68a02
      Len Brown 提交于
      The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting:
      1. Intel C1E is somehow involved
      2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved
      
      Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that
      this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E.
      Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific
      to AMD processors with Erratum 400.
      
      This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change.

      x86: setup_smep needs to be __cpuinit · 82da65da
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The setup_smep function gets calle at resume time too, and is thus not a
      pure __init function.  When marked as __init, it gets thrown out after
      the kernel has initialized, and when the kernel is suspended and
      resumed, the code will no longer be around, and we'll get a nice "kernel
      tried to execute NX-protected page" oops because the page is no longer
      marked executable.

      x86, apic: Fix spurious error interrupts triggering on all non-boot APs · e503f9e4
      Youquan Song 提交于
      This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found
      that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all
      non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage.
      
      According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual
      Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when
      an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under
      FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether
      the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These
      errors are seen as error interrupts.
      
      The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads
      0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI
      sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for
      the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI.
      
      When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt,
      the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required
      from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register
      programmed as such as well.
      
      This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling
      interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to
      0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will
      signal illegal vector error interrupts.
      
      This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before
      restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.

      [CPUFREQ] use dynamic debug instead of custom infrastructure · 2d06d8c4
      Dominik Brodowski 提交于
      With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages
      also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for
      debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step,
      remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call
      to the generic pr_debug() function.
      
      How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has
      CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.
      
      To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and
      
      $ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
      
      for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during
      boot, append
      
      	ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p"
      
      as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

      perf, x86: Update/fix Intel Nehalem cache events · f4929bd3
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Change the Nehalem cache events to use retired memory instruction counters

      Using:
      
      main ()
      {
              int i;
      
              for (i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {
                      asm("mov (%%rsp), %%rbx;"
                          "mov %%rbx, (%%rsp);" : : : "rbx");
              }
      }
      
      We find:
      
       $ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e l1-dcache-loads:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
        Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
            4,000,081,056 instructions:u           #      0.000 IPC ( +-   0.000% )

               1.565184942  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.005% )
      
      The 5b is surprising - we'd expect 1b:
      
       $ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e r10b:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
        Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):

            1,000,021,961 r10b:u                     ( +-   0.000% )
            1,000,030,951 l1-dcache-stores:u         ( +-   0.000% )
               1.565055422  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.003% )

      x86, perf event: Turn off unstructured raw event access to offcore registers · b52c55c6
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged
      without user-space tool support to the functionality:
      
       |
       | The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
       | user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
       | and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
       |
      
      Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an
      extension to perf's raw event syntax:
      
       |
       | Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional
       | parameters. These can be appended after a ':'.
       |
       | For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
       |
       |    perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1
       |
       | Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0
       | that measures any access to DRAM on another socket.
       |
      
      But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not
      be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get
      access to useful hardware functionality.
      
      The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via
      generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific
      CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some
      model specific quirky hexa number.
      
      We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events,
      and it's all very extensible.
      
      "Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various
      parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems.
      
      We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the
      fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate
      generalization category.
      
      That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access
      profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like:
      
        perf record -e dram ./myapp
        perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp
      
      ... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM
      accesses.
      
      These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that
      have comparable PMU features.
      
      ( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more
        sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around
        similarly simple usecases. )
      
      Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they
      are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented
      in this commit:
      
        e994d7d2: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere
      
      But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events
      to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented
      for these hardware event features.
      
      ( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be
        supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally
        useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely
        *not* such a category so generalization must be done first. )
      
      Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended
      to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above
      e994d7d2 commit, not mentioned in the changelog.
      
      As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable
      the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released
      kernel and becomes an ABI.
      
      Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users
      are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.
