      tools/power/x86: A tool to validate Intel Speed Select commands · 3fb4f7cd
      Srinivas Pandruvada 提交于
      The Intel(R) Speed select technologies contains four features.
      
      Performance profile:An non architectural mechanism that allows multiple
      optimized performance profiles per system via static and/or dynamic
      adjustment of core count, workload, Tjmax, and TDP, etc. aka ISS
      in the documentation.
      
      Base Frequency: Enables users to increase guaranteed base frequency on
      certain cores (high priority cores) in exchange for lower base frequency
      on remaining cores (low priority cores). aka PBF in the documenation.
      
      Turbo frequency: Enables the ability to set different turbo ratio limits
      to cores based on priority. aka FACT in the documentation.
      
      Core power: An Interface that allows user to define per core/tile
      priority.
      
      There is a multi level help for commands and options. This can be used
      to check required arguments for each feature and commands for the
      feature.
      
      To start navigating the features start with
      
      $sudo intel-speed-select --help
      
      For help on a specific feature for example

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      objtool: Add tool to perform compile-time stack metadata validation · 442f04c3
      Josh Poimboeuf 提交于
      This adds a host tool named objtool which has a "check" subcommand which
      analyzes .o files to ensure the validity of stack metadata.  It enforces
      a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack
      traces can be reliable.
      
      For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
      validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
      
      It also follows code paths involving kernel special sections, like
      .altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
      alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
      instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
      which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.
      
      Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:
      
      a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels
      
         Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes.  They allow runtime
         code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
         chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
         code.
      
         For some architectures, frame pointers are enabled by
         CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.  For some other architectures they may be
         required by the ABI (sometimes referred to as "backchain pointers").
      
         For C code, gcc automatically generates instructions for setting up
         frame pointers when the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option is used.
      
         But for asm code, the frame setup instructions have to be written by
         hand, which most people don't do.  So the end result is that
         CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is honored for C code but not for most asm code.
      
         For stack traces based on frame pointers to be reliable, all
         functions which call other functions must first create a stack frame
         and update the frame pointer.  If a first function doesn't properly
         create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
         of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.
      
         For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
         pointers enabled:
      
           [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
           [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
           [<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
           [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
           [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
           [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
           [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
           [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
      
         It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
         seq_read().
      
         If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
         replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
         what it looks like instead:
      
           [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
           [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
           [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
           [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
           [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
           [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
           [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
      
         Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
         skipped.  Instead the stack trace seems to show that
         cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().
      
         The benefit of "objtool check" here is that because it ensures that
         *all* functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*]
         be skipped on a stack trace.
      
         [*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
             beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
             or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
             destroyed.  This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.
      
      b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels
      
         This is not yet implemented.  For more details about what is planned,
         see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.
      
      c) Higher live patching compatibility rate
      
         This is not yet implemented.  For more details about what is planned,
         see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.
      
      To achieve the validation, "objtool check" enforces the following rules:
      
      1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
         function type.  In asm code, this is typically done using the
         ENTRY/ENDPROC macros.  If objtool finds a return instruction
         outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
         callable code which should be annotated accordingly.
      
         This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
         callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.
      
      2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
         be annotated as an ELF function.  The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
         in this case.
      
         This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
         Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.
      
      3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
         correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
         the architecture's back chain rules.  This can by done in asm code
         with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.
      
         This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
         designed.  If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
         function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
         trace.
      
      4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:
      
         a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or
      
         b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
            the same value it had on function entry.
      
         This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
         function's code paths.  If a function jumps to code in another file,
         and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
         because it only analyzes a single file at a time.
      
      5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
         The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
         which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.
      
         This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
         return normally.
      
      It currently only supports x86_64.  I tried to make the code generic so
      that support for other architectures can hopefully be plugged in
      relatively easily.
      
      On my Lenovo laptop with a i7-4810MQ 4-core/8-thread CPU, building the
      kernel with objtool checking every .o file adds about three seconds of
      total build time.  It hasn't been optimized for performance yet, so
      there are probably some opportunities for better build performance.

      Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
      the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.
      
      For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
      which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
      we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
      tools/vm/page-types.
      
      acme:
      
      "Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
      directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.
      
      But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/
      cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."
      
      Fixup documentation cleaning target while at it.

      tools/thermal: Introduce tmon, a tool for thermal subsystem · 94f69966
      Jacob Pan 提交于
      Increasingly, Linux is running on thermally constrained devices. The simple
      thermal relationship between processor and fan has become past for modern
      computers.
      
      As hardware vendors cope with the thermal constraints on their products,
      more sensors are added, new cooling capabilities are introduced. The
      complexity of the thermal relationship can grow exponentially among cooling
      devices, zones, sensors, and trip points. They can also change dynamically.
      
      To expose such relationship to the userspace, Linux generic thermal layer
      introduced sysfs entry at /sys/class/thermal with a matrix of symbolic
      links, trip point bindings, and device instances. To traverse such
      matrix by hand is not a trivial task. Testing is also difficult in that
      thermal conditions are often exception cases that hard to reach in
      normal operations.
      
      TMON is conceived as a tool to help visualize, tune, and test the
      complex thermal subsystem.

      filter: add minimal BPF JIT image disassembler · e306e2c1
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This is a minimal stand-alone user space helper, that allows for debugging or
      verification of emitted BPF JIT images. This is in particular useful for
      emitted opcode debugging, since minor bugs in the JIT compiler can be fatal.
      The disassembler is architecture generic and uses libopcodes and libbfd.
      
      How to get to the disassembly, example:
      
        1) `echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable`
        2) Load a BPF filter (e.g. `tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24`)
        3) Run e.g. `bpf_jit_disasm -o` to disassemble the most recent JIT code output
      
      `bpf_jit_disasm -o` will display the related opcodes to a particular instruction
      as well. Example for x86_64:
      
      $ ./bpf_jit_disasm
