Impact: better dumpstack output I noticed in my crash dumps and even in the stack tracer that a lot of functions listed in the stack trace are simply return_to_handler which is ftrace graphs way to insert its own call into the return of a function. But we lose out where the actually function was called from. This patch adds in hooks to the dumpstack mechanism that detects this and finds the real function to print. Both are printed to let the user know that a hook is still in place. This does give a funny side effect in the stack tracer output: Depth Size Location (80 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4144 48 save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x4d 1) 4096 128 ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b 2) 3968 16 mempool_alloc_slab+0x16/0x18 3) 3952 384 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73 4) 3568 -240 stack_trace_call+0x11d/0x209 5) 3808 144 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73 6) 3664 -128 mempool_alloc+0x4d/0xfe 7) 3792 128 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73 8) 3664 -32 scsi_sg_alloc+0x48/0x4a [scsi_mod] As you can see, the real functions are now negative. This is due to them not being found inside the stack. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function. Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot. The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function. Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph, which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely lock the box up if it were to trigger. This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86 This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64. Both static and dynamic tracing are supported. This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion. That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these function for other archs ports. Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer). So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags). A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and, after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I hadn't problems with it.

It turns out that on Cell, on a kernel with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING = y, if a program sets the SO (summary overflow) bit in the XER and then does a system call, the SO bit in CR0 will be set on return regardless of whether the system call detected an error. Since CR0.SO is used as the error indication from the system call, this means that all system calls appear to fail. The reason is that the workaround for the timebase bug on Cell uses a compare instruction. With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING = y, the ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY macro reads the timebase, so we end up doing a compare instruction, which copies XER.SO to CR0.SO. Since we were doing this in the system call entry patch after clearing CR0.SO but before saving the CR, this meant that the saved CR image had CR0.SO set if XER.SO was set on entry. This fixes it by moving the clearing of CR0.SO to after the ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY call in the system call entry path.

Kexec/kdump currently fails on the IBM QS2x blades when the kexec happens on a CPU other than the initial boot CPU. It turns out that this is the result of mpic_init trying to set affinity of each interrupt vector to the current boot CPU. As far as I can tell, the same problem is likely to exist on any secondary MPIC, because they have to deliver interrupts to the first output all the time. There are two potential solutions for this: either not set up affinity at all for secondary MPICs, or assume that a single CPU output is connected to the upstream interrupt controller and hardcode affinity to that per architecture. This patch implements the second approach, defaulting to the first output. Currently, all known secondary MPICs are routed to their upstream port using the first destination, so we hardcode that.

The MSI capture logic for the axon bridge can sometimes lose interrupts in case of high DMA and interrupt load, when it signals an MSI interrupt to the MPIC interrupt controller while we are already handling another MSI. Each MSI vector gets written into a FIFO buffer in main memory using DMA, and that DMA access is normally flushed by the actual interrupt packet on the IOIF. An MMIO register in the MSIC holds the position of the last entry in the FIFO buffer that was written. However, reading that position does not flush the DMA, so that we can observe stale data in the buffer. In a stress test, we have observed the DMA to arrive up to 14 microseconds after reading the register. This patch works around this problem by retrying the access to the FIFO buffer. We can reliably detect the conditioning by writing an invalid MSI vector into the FIFO buffer after reading from it, assuming that all MSIs we get are valid. After detecting an invalid MSI vector, we udelay(1) in the interrupt cascade for up to 100 times before giving up.

It is caused by commit 8f64e1f2 ("powerpc: Reserve in bootmem lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes"). The problem is that Jon took a loop which was (in pseudocode): for_each_node(nid) NODE_DATA(nid) = careful_alloc(nid); setup_bootmem(nid); reserve_node_bootmem(nid); and broke it up into: for_each_node(nid) NODE_DATA(nid) = careful_alloc(nid); setup_bootmem(nid); for_each_node(nid) reserve_node_bootmem(nid); The issue comes in when the 'careful_alloc()' is called on a node with no memory. It falls back to using bootmem from a previously-initialized node. But, bootmem has not yet been reserved when Jon's patch is applied. It gives back bogus memory (0xc000000000000000) and pukes later in boot. The following patch collapses the loop back together. It also breaks the mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code out into a function and adds some comments. I think a huge part of introducing this bug is because for loop was too long and hard to read. The actual bug fix here is the: + if (end_pfn <= node->node_start_pfn || + start_pfn >= node_end_pfn) + continue; Signed-off-by: NDave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Currently, some PCIe devices on POWER6 machines do not get interrupts assigned correctly. The problem is that OF doesn't create an "interrupt" property for them. The fix is for of_irq_map_pci to fall back to using the value in the PCI interrupt-pin register in config space, as we do when there is no OF device-tree node for the device.

Impact: fix for PowerPC 32 code There were some early init code that was not safe for static ftrace to boot on my PowerBook. This code must only use relative addressing, and static mcount performs a compare of the ftrace_trace_function pointer, and gets that with an absolute address. In the early init boot up code, this will cause a fault. This patch removes tracing from the files containing the offending functions.

Impact: quicken mcount calls that are not replaced by dyn ftrace Dynamic ftrace no longer does on the fly recording of mcount locations. The mcount locations are now found at compile time. The mcount function no longer needs to store registers and call a stub function. It can now just simply return. Since there are some functions that do not get converted to a nop (.init sections and other code that may disappear), this patch should help speed up that code. Also, the stub for mcount on PowerPC 32 can not be a simple branch link register like it is on PowerPC 64. According to the ABI specification: "The _mcount routine is required to restore the link register from the stack so that the profiling code can be inserted transparently, whether or not the profiled function saves the link register itself." This means that we must restore the link register that was used to make the call to mcount. The minimal mcount function for PPC32 ends up being: mcount: mflr r0 mtctr r0 lwz r0, 4(r1) mtlr r0 bctr Where we move the link register used to call mcount into the ctr register, and then restore the link register from the stack. Then we use the ctr register to jump back to the mcount caller. The r0 register is free for us to use. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
