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(). cc: x86@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

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.

Commit b87cf80a added support for ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it is in a deep C state, including C1E state. Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to broadcasting timer when going idle.

We provide two slots to disable cache indices, and have a check to prevent both slots to be used for the same index. If the user disables the same index on different subcaches, both slots will hold the same index, e.g. $ echo 2047 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 2047 $ echo 1050623 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 2047 due to the fact that the check was looking only at index bits [11:0] and was ignoring writes to bits outside that range. The more correct fix is to simply check whether the index is within the bounds of [0..l3->indices]. While at it, cleanup comments and drop now-unused local macros.

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.

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.

Older AMD K8 processors (Revisions A-E) are affected by erratum 400 (APIC timer interrupts don't occur in C states greater than C1). This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should not be set for these parts. This addresses regression introduced by commit b87cf80a ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT feature on AMD processors") where the system may become unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input) occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups.

Add two generic hardware events: front-end and back-end stalled cycles. These events measure conditions when the CPU is executing code but its capabilities are not fully utilized. Understanding such situations and analyzing them is an important sub-task of code optimization workflows. Both events limit performance: most front end stalls tend to be caused by branch misprediction or instruction fetch cachemisses, backend stalls can be caused by various resource shortages or inefficient instruction scheduling. Front-end stalls are the more important ones: code cannot run fast if the instruction stream is not being kept up. An over-utilized back-end can cause front-end stalls and thus has to be kept an eye on as well. The exact composition is very program logic and instruction mix dependent. We use the terms 'stall', 'front-end' and 'back-end' loosely and try to use the best available events from specific CPUs that approximate these concepts.

It was noticed that P4 machines were generating double NMIs for each perf event. These extra NMIs lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages on the screen. I tracked this down to a P4 quirk that said the overflow bit had to be cleared before re-enabling the apic LVT mask. My first attempt was to move the un-masking inside the perf nmi handler from before the chipset NMI handler to after. This broke Nehalem boxes that seem to like the unmasking before the counters themselves are re-enabled. In order to keep this change simple for 2.6.39, I decided to just simply move the apic LVT un-masking to the beginning of all the chipset NMI handlers, with the exception of Pentium4's to fix the double NMI issue. Later on we can move the un-masking to later in the handlers to save a number of 'extra' NMIs on those particular chipsets. I tested this change on a P4 machine, an AMD machine, a Nehalem box, and a core2quad box. 'perf top' worked correctly along with various other small 'perf record' runs. Anything high stress breaks all the machines but that is a different problem. Thanks to various people for testing different versions of this patch.

On Nehalem CPUs the retired branch-misses event can be completely bogus, when there are no branch-misses occuring. When there are a lot of branch misses then the count is pretty accurate. Still, this leaves us with an event that over-counts a lot. Detect this erratum and work it around by using BR_MISP_EXEC.ANY events. These will also count speculated branches but still it's a lot more precise in practice than the architectural event.

Change the Nehalem cache events to use retired memory instruction counters (similar to Westmere), this greatly improves the provided stats. 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% ) 4,999,502,846 l1-dcache-loads:u ( +- 0.008% ) 1,000,034,832 l1-dcache-stores:u ( +- 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): 4,000,081,054 instructions:u # 0.000 IPC ( +- 0.000% ) 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% ) Which this patch thus fixes.

It's not enough to simply disable event on overflow the cpuc->active_mask should be cleared as well otherwise counter may stall in "active" even in real being already disabled (which potentially may lead to the situation that user may not use this counter further). Don pointed out that: " I also noticed this patch fixed some unknown NMIs on a P4 when I stressed the box".

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.

The default notifier doesn't make a lot of sense to call in the correctable errors case. Drop it and emit the mcelog decoding hint only in the uncorrectable errors case and when no notifier is registered. Also, limit issuing the "mcelog --ascii" message in the rare case when we dump unreported CEs before panicking. While at it, remove unused old x86_mce_decode_callback from the header.
