      oprofile/fsl emb: Don't set MSR[PMM] until after clearing the interrupt. · 4267ea72
      Scott Wood 提交于
      On an arch 2.06 hypervisor, a pending perfmon interrupt will be delivered
      to the hypervisor at any point the guest is running, regardless of
      MSR[EE].  In order to reflect this interrupt, the hypervisor has to mask
      the interrupt in PMGC0 -- and set MSRP[PMMP] to intercept futher guest
      accesses to the PMRs to detect when to unmask (and prevent the guest from
      unmasking early, or seeing inconsistent state).
      
      This has the side effect of ignoring any changes the guest makes to
      MSR[PMM], so wait until after the interrupt is clear, and thus the
      hypervisor should have cleared MSRP[PMMP], before setting MSR[PMM].  The
      counters wil not actually run until PMGC0[FAC] is cleared in
      pmc_start_ctrs(), so this will not reduce the effectiveness of PMM.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      powerpc: Add configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc · ba55bd74
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.
      
      The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
      warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
      if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
      being fixed.
      
      The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
      turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.
      
      The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
      that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.
      
      It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

      powerpc: Fix oprofile sampling of marked events on POWER7 · e5fc948b
      Maynard Johnson 提交于
      Description
      -----------
      Change ppc64 oprofile kernel driver to use the SLOT bits (MMCRA[37:39]only on
      older processors where those bits are defined.
      
      Background
      ----------
      The performance monitor unit of the 64-bit POWER processor family has the
      ability to collect accurate instruction-level samples when profiling on marked
      events (i.e., "PM_MRK_<event-name>").  In processors prior to POWER6, the MMCRA
      register contained "slot information" that the oprofile kernel driver used to
      adjust the value latched in the SIAR at the time of a PMU interrupt.  But as of
      POWER6, these slot bits in MMCRA are no longer necessary for oprofile to use,
      since the SIAR itself holds the accurate sampled instruction address.  With
      POWER6, these MMCRA slot bits were zero'ed out by hardware so oprofile's use of
      these slot bits was, in effect, a NOP.  But with POWER7, these bits are no
      longer zero'ed out; however, they serve some other purpose rather than slot
      information.  Thus, using these bits on POWER7 to adjust the SIAR value results
      in samples being attributed to the wrong instructions.  The attached patch
      changes the oprofile kernel driver to ignore these slot bits on all newer
      processors starting with POWER6.

      shrink struct dentry · c2452f32
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
      sad to see it going neglected.
      
      With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
      for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
      (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.
      
      I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
      name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
      shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
      length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...
      
      I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
      why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
      size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
      dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
      can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
      get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.
      
      At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
      with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
      nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
      will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
      would require 4.
      
      I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
      reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
      to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
      faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
      <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
      33-36 byte names.
      
      Performance is a feature...

      powerpc/oprofile: Fix mutex locking for cell spu-oprofile · a5598ca0
      Carl Love 提交于
      The issue is the SPU code is not holding the kernel mutex lock while
      adding samples to the kernel buffer.
      
      This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data.  Data
      is added to the buffers from in interrupt context.  The data
      is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile
      function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function
      is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the
      mutex lock.
      
      The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer
      size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers.
      Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by
      incrementing the per CPU buffer stats.  This eliminates the
      need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU
      buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool
      maintainer.
      
      The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it
      is no longer needed given this patch.
      
      Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays
      by the spu number.  This still needs to be fixed as the spu
      numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.
