      Fix IRQ flag handling naming · df9ee292
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix the IRQ flag handling naming.  In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
      it maps:
      
      	local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
      	local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
      	local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
      	...
      
      and under the other configuration, it maps:
      
      	raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
      	raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
      	raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
      	...
      
      This is quite confusing.  There should be one set of names expected of the
      arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
      by users of this facility.
      
      Change this to have the arch provide:
      
      	flags = arch_local_save_flags()
      	flags = arch_local_irq_save()
      	arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
      	arch_local_irq_disable()
      	arch_local_irq_enable()
      	arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
      	arch_irqs_disabled()
      	arch_safe_halt()
      
      Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
      
      	raw_local_save_flags(flags)
      	raw_local_irq_save(flags)
      	raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
      	raw_local_irq_disable()
      	raw_local_irq_enable()
      	raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
      	raw_irqs_disabled()
      	raw_safe_halt()
      
      with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
      
      	local_save_flags(flags)
      	local_irq_save(flags)
      	local_irq_restore(flags)
      	local_irq_disable()
      	local_irq_enable()
      	irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
      	irqs_disabled()
      	safe_halt()
      
      with tracing included if enabled.
      
      The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
      having to be macros.

      powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to perf_event_do_pending call · 0fe1ac48
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Anton Blanchard found that large POWER systems would occasionally
      crash in the exception exit path when profiling with perf_events.
      The symptom was that an interrupt would occur late in the exit path
      when the MSR[RI] (recoverable interrupt) bit was clear.  Interrupts
      should be hard-disabled at this point but they were enabled.  Because
      the interrupt was not recoverable the system panicked.
      
      The reason is that the exception exit path was calling
      perf_event_do_pending after hard-disabling interrupts, and
      perf_event_do_pending will re-enable interrupts.
      
      The simplest and cleanest fix for this is to use the same mechanism
      that 32-bit powerpc does, namely to cause a self-IPI by setting the
      decrementer to 1.  This means we can remove the tests in the exception
      exit path and raw_local_irq_restore.
      
      This also makes sure that the call to perf_event_do_pending from
      timer_interrupt() happens within irq_enter/irq_exit.  (Note that
      calling perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt does not mean that
      there is a possible 1/HZ latency; setting the decrementer to 1 ensures
      that the timer interrupt will happen immediately, i.e. within one
      timebase tick, which is a few nanoseconds or 10s of nanoseconds.)

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      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. )

      powerpc: Add irqtrace support for 32-bit powerpc · 5d38902c
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Based on initial work from: Dale Farnsworth <dale@farnsworth.org>
      
      Add the low level irq tracing hooks for 32-bit powerpc needed
      to enable full lockdep functionality.
      
      The approach taken to deal with the code in entry_32.S is that
      we don't trace all the transitions of MSR:EE when we just turn
      it off to peek at TI_FLAGS without races. Only when we are
      calling into C code or returning from exceptions with a state
      that have changed from what lockdep thinks.
      
      There's a little bugger though: If we take an exception that
      keeps interrupts enabled (such as an alignment exception) while
      interrupts are enabled, we will call trace_hardirqs_on() on the
      way back spurriously. Not a big deal, but to get rid of it would
      require remembering in pt_regs that the exception was one of the
      type that kept interrupts enabled which we don't know at this
      stage. (Well, we could test all cases for regs->trap but that
      sucks too much).

      perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpc · 105988c0
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc.  Since we
      don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
      only software counters can be used.
      
      Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
      64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
      set_perf_counter_pending().  This needs to arrange for
      perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
      Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
      set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
      decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
      in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
      pending).  When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
      called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
      We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
      perf_counter_do_pending() or not.
      
      This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
      which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
      support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
      powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

      powerpc: Add compiler memory barrier to mtmsr macro · 4c75f84f
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      On 32-bit non-Book E, local_irq_restore() turns into just mtmsr(),
      which doesn't currently have a compiler memory barrier.  This means
      that accesses to memory inside a local_irq_save/restore section,
      or a spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore section on UP, can
      be reordered by the compiler to occur outside that section.
      
      To fix this, this adds a compiler memory barrier to mtmsr for both
      32-bit and 64-bit.  Having a compiler memory barrier in mtmsr makes
      sense because it will almost always be changing something about the
      context in which memory accesses are done, so in general we don't want
      memory accesses getting moved from one side of an mtmsr to the other.
      
      With the barrier in mtmsr(), some of the explicit barriers in
      hw_irq.h are now redundant, so this removes them.

      perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup · 925d519a
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
      for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
      them.
      
      This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
      issue.
      
      Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
      single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
      wakeups.
      
      [ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
        cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
        perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
        network wakeups. ]
      
      Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
      quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
      wakeup.
      
      The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
      sufficient.

      perf_counter: abstract wakeup flag setting in core to fix powerpc build · b6c5a71d
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Impact: build fix for powerpc
      
      Commit bd753921015e7905 ("perf_counter: software counter event
      infrastructure") introduced a use of TIF_PERF_COUNTERS into the core
      perfcounter code.  This breaks the build on powerpc because we use
      a flag in a per-cpu area to signal wakeups on powerpc rather than
      a thread_info flag, because the thread_info flags have to be
      manipulated with atomic operations and are thus slower than per-cpu
      flags.
      
      This fixes the by changing the core to use an abstracted
      set_perf_counter_pending() function, which is defined on x86 to set
      the TIF_PERF_COUNTERS flag and on powerpc to set the per-cpu flag
      (paca->perf_counter_pending).  It changes the previous powerpc
      definition of set_perf_counter_pending to not take an argument and
      adds a clear_perf_counter_pending, so as to simplify the definition
      on x86.
      
      On x86, set_perf_counter_pending() is defined as a macro.  Defining
      it as a static inline in arch/x86/include/asm/perf_counters.h causes
      compile failures because <asm/perf_counters.h> gets included early in
      <linux/sched.h>, and the definitions of set_tsk_thread_flag etc. are
      therefore not available in <asm/perf_counters.h>.  (On powerpc this
      problem is avoided by defining set_perf_counter_pending etc. in
      <asm/hw_irq.h>.)

      powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabled · 93a6d3ce
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is
      possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the
      kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are
      soft-disabled but hard-enabled).  In such a situation the performance
      monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as
      process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI
      handler.
      
      This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled,
      either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt
      handler to code that had interrupts enabled.  We have a per-processor
      flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts
      subsequently get re-enabled.  This flag is checked in the interrupt
      return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set,
      perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

      [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines · d04c56f7
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
      that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
      enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
      entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
      clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
      flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
      actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.
      
      When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
      sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
      interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
      MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.
      
      This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
      easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
      machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
      soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.
      
      This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
      changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
      which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
      yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
      flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
      possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

      [PATCH] genirq: add ->retrigger() irq op to consolidate hw_irq_resend() · c0ad90a3
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Add ->retrigger() irq op to consolidate hw_irq_resend() implementations.
      (Most architectures had it defined to NOP anyway.)
      
      NOTE: ia64 needs testing. i386 and x86_64 tested.

      [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip · d1bef4ed
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
      various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
      functionality.
      
      While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
      generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
      smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
      the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
      
      The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
      driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
      straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
      (level/edge/etc.) type of details.
      
      This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
      architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
      The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
      converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
      
      As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
      (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
      
      The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
      and more consolidation between architectures.
      
      We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
      layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
      
      This patch:
      
      rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
      
      Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
      both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
      large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
      truly is.
      
      I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
      desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
      frequently.
      
      So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
      via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
      
      This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
      remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
      without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

      [PATCH] powerpc: merged hw_irq.h · b671ad2b
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      Merged hw_irq.h between ppc32 & ppc64.  Added support to use the Book-E
      wrtee[i] instructions that allow modifying MSR[EE] atomically.
      Additionally, added get_irq_desc() macros to ppc32 to allow mask_irq(),
      unmask_irq(), and ack_irq() to be common between ppc32 & ppc64.
      
      Note: because 64-bit Book-E implementations only have a 32-bit MSR the
      macro's for Book-E need to come before the PPC64 macro's to ensure the
      right thing happends for 64-bit Book-E processors.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
