      oprofile, s390: Rework hwsampler implementation · a0d76247
      Robert Richter 提交于
      This patch is a rework of the hwsampler oprofile implementation that
      has been applied recently. Now there are less non-architectural
      changes. The only changes are:
      
      * introduction of oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample(), and
      * removal of section attributes of oprofile_timer_init/_exit().
      
      To setup hwsampler for oprofile we need to modify start()/stop()
      callbacks and additional hwsampler control files in oprofilefs. We do
      not reinitialize the timer or hwsampler mode by restarting calling
      init/exit() anymore, instead hwsampler_running is used to switch the
      mode directly in oprofile_hwsampler_start/_stop(). For locking reasons
      there is also hwsampler_file that reflects the value in oprofilefs.
      
      The overall diffstat of the oprofile s390 hwsampler implemenation
      shows the low impact to non-architectural code:

      oprofile, s390: Enhance OProfile to support System zs hardware sampling feature · 997dbb49
      Heinz Graalfs 提交于
      OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's
      hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to
      initialize and use System z's hardware sampling.
      
      The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports
      following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup
      succeeded:
      
      A new directory for hardware sampling based files
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/
      
      The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files
      to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler
      
      to modify the actual sampling rate
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval
      
      to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages)
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks
      
      The following files are read only and show
      the possible minimum sampling rate
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval
      
      the possible maximum sampling rate
      
       /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval
      
      The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it
      can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel
      oops.

      oprofile, s390: Add support for hardware based sampling on System z processors · ec6a3df1
      Heinz Graalfs 提交于
      This adds support for hardware based sampling on System z processors
      (models z10 and up).
      
      System z's hardware sampling is described in detail in:
      
         SA23-2260-01 "The Load-Program-Parameter and CPU-Measurement Facilities"
      
      The patch introduces
      
       - support for System z's hardware sampler in OProfile's kernel module
       - it adds functions that control all hardware sampling related
         operations as:
         - checking if hardware sampling feature is available, i.e.: on
           System z models z10 and up, in LPAR mode only, and authorised
           during LPAR activation
         - allocating memory for the hardware sampling feature
         - starting/stopping hardware sampling
      
      All functions required to start and stop hardware sampling have to be
      invoked by the oprofile kernel module as provided by the other patches
      of this patch set.
      
      In case hardware based sampling cannot be setup standard timer based
      sampling is used by OProfile.
      
      Applied with following changes:
      * enable compilation in Makefile

      ARM: oprofile: Fix backtraces in timer mode · d14dd7e2
      Ari Kauppi 提交于
      Always allow backtraces when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU
      isn't present. Restores functionality originally introduced in commit
      1b7b5698 ("oprofile: Always allow
      backtraces on ARM") by Richard Purdie.
      
      It is not that obvious, but there is now only one oprofile_arch_init()
      function. So the .backtrace callback is available also in timer mode.
      
      Implemented by removing code and using stubs for oprofile_perf_{init,
      exit} provided by <linux/oprofile.h>. This allows cleaning of other
      architecture specific implementations too.

      xen: p2m: correctly initialize partial p2m leaf · 8e1b4cf2
      Stefan Bader 提交于
      After changing the p2m mapping to a tree by
      
        commit 58e05027
          xen: convert p2m to a 3 level tree
      
      and trying to boot a DomU with 615MB of memory, the following crash was
      observed in the dump:
      
      kernel direct mapping tables up to 26f00000 @ 1ec4000-1fff000
      BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
      IP: [<c0107397>] xen_set_pte+0x27/0x60
      *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
      
      Adding further debug statements showed that when trying to set up
      pfn=0x26700 the returned mapping was invalid.
      
      pfn=0x266ff calling set_pte(0xc1fe77f8, 0x6b3003)
      pfn=0x26700 calling set_pte(0xc1fe7800, 0x3)
      
      Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
      should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
      memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
      p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
      there is other code handling the extra memory.
      
      When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
      array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
      boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
      being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
      initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.
      
      I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
      complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
      the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
      solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
      assignments all over the range.
