      perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event types · 8326f44d
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
      method.
      
      This is a 3-dimensional space:
      
             { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
             { load, store, prefetch } x
             { accesses, misses }
      
      User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
      a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
      combination makes sense.)
      
      Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
      Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.
      
      Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
      parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
      access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
      both valid aliases.
      
      ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
        and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

      perf_counter: Separate out attr->type from attr->config · a21ca2ca
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
      bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.
      
      Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.
      
      Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
      all around counter attribute management.
      
      The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
      to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).

      x86, mce: support action-optional machine checks · 9b1beaf2
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Newer Intel CPUs support a new class of machine checks called recoverable
      action optional.
      
      Action Optional means that the CPU detected some form of corruption in
      the background and tells the OS about using a machine check
      exception. The OS can then take appropiate action, like killing the
      process with the corrupted data or logging the event properly to disk.
      
      This is done by the new generic high level memory failure handler added
      in a earlier patch. The high level handler takes the address with the
      failed memory and does the appropiate action, like killing the process.
      
      In this version of the patch the high level handler is stubbed out
      with a weak function to not create a direct dependency on the hwpoison
      branch.
      
      The high level handler cannot be directly called from the machine check
      exception though, because it has to run in a defined process context to
      be able to sleep when taking VM locks (it is not expected to sleep for a
      long time, just do so in some exceptional cases like lock contention)
      
      Thus the MCE handler has to queue a work item for process context,
      trigger process context and then call the high level handler from there.
      
      This patch adds two path to process context: through a per thread kernel
      exit notify_user() callback or through a high priority work item.
      The first runs when the process exits back to user space, the other when
      it goes to sleep and there is no higher priority process.
      
      The machine check handler will schedule both, and whoever runs first
      will grab the event. This is done because quick reaction to this
      event is critical to avoid a potential more fatal machine check
      when the corruption is consumed.
      
      There is a simple lock less ring buffer to queue the corrupted
      addresses between the exception handler and the process context handler.
      Then in process context it just calls the high level VM code with
      the corrupted PFNs.
      
      The code adds the required code to extract the failed address from
      the CPU's machine check registers. It doesn't try to handle all
      possible cases -- the specification has 6 different ways to specify
      memory address -- but only the linear address.
      
      Most of the required checking has been already done earlier in the
      mce_severity rule checking engine.  Following the Intel
      recommendations Action Optional errors are only enabled for known
      situations (encoded in MCACODs). The errors are ignored otherwise,
      because they are action optional.

      The MCE severity judgement code is data-driven, so code coverage tools
      such as gcov can not be used for measuring coverage. Instead a dedicated

      x86, mce: implement new status bits · ed7290d0
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The x86 architecture recently added some new machine check status bits:
      S(ignalled) and AR (Action-Required). Signalled allows to check
      if a specific event caused an exception or was just logged through CMCI.
      AR allows the kernel to decide if an event needs immediate action
      or can be delayed or ignored.
      
      Implement support for these new status bits. mce_severity() uses
      the new bits to grade the machine check correctly and decide what
      to do. The exception handler uses AR to decide to kill or not.
      The S bit is used to separate events between the poll/CMCI handler
      and the exception handler.
      
      Classical UC always leads to panic. That was true before anyways
      because the existing CPUs always passed a PCC with it.
      
      Also corrects the rules whether to kill in user or kernel context
      and how to handle missing RIPV.
      
      The machine check handler largely uses the mce-severity grading
      engine now instead of making its own decisions. This means the logic
      is centralized in one place.  This is useful because it has to be
      evaluated multiple times.

      x86, mce: default to panic timeout for machine checks · 29b0f591
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Fatal machine checks can be logged to disk after boot, but only if
      the system did a warm reboot. That's unfortunately difficult with the
      default panic behaviour, which waits forever and the admin has to
      press the power button because modern systems usually miss a reset button.
      This clears the machine checks in the registers and make
      it impossible to log them.
      
      This patch changes the default for machine check panic to always
      reboot after 30s. Then the mce can be successfully logged after
      reboot.
      
      I believe this will improve machine check experience for any
      system running the X server.
      
      This is dependent on successfull boot logging of MCEs. This currently
      only works on Intel systems, on AMD there are quite a lot of systems
      around which leave junk in the machine check registers after boot,
      so it's disabled here. These systems will continue to default
      to endless waiting panic.

      x86, mce: switch x86 machine check handler to Monarch election. · 3c079792
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      On Intel platforms machine check exceptions are always broadcast to
      all CPUs.  This patch makes the machine check handler synchronize all
      these machine checks, elect a Monarch to handle the event and collect
      the worst event from all CPUs and then process it first.
      
      This has some advantages:
      
      - When there is a truly data corrupting error the system panics as
        quickly as possible. This improves containment of corrupted
        data and makes sure the corrupted data never hits stable storage.
      
      - The panics are synchronized and do not reenter the panic code
        on multiple CPUs (which currently does not handle this well).
      
      - All the errors are reported. Currently it often happens that
        another CPU happens to do the panic first, but reports useless
        information (empty machine check) because the real error
        happened on another CPU which came in later.
        This is a big advantage on Nehalem where the 8 threads per CPU
        lead to often the wrong CPU winning the race and dumping
        useless information on a machine check.  The problem also occurs
        in a less severe form on older CPUs.
      
      - The system can detect when no CPUs detected a machine check
        and shut down the system.  This can happen when one CPU is so
        badly hung that that it cannot process a machine check anymore
        or when some external agent wants to stop the system by
        asserting the machine check pin.  This follows Intel hardware
        recommendations.
      
      - This matches the recommended error model by the CPU designers.
      
      - The events can be output in true severity order
      
      - When a panic happens on another CPU it makes sure to be actually
        be able to process the stop IPI by enabling interrupts.
      
      The code is extremly careful to handle timeouts while waiting
      for other CPUs. It can't rely on the normal timing mechanisms
      (jiffies, ktime_get) because of its asynchronous/lockless nature,
      so it uses own timeouts using ndelay() and a "SPINUNIT"
      
      The timeout is configurable. By default it waits for upto one
      second for the other CPUs.  This can be also disabled.
      
      From some informal testing AMD systems do not see to broadcast
      machine checks, so right now it's always disabled by default on
      non Intel CPUs or also on very old Intel systems.

      Andi Kleen 提交于
      In some circumstances multiple CPUs can enter mce_panic() in parallel.
      This gives quite confused output because they will all dump the same
      machine check buffer.
      
      The other problem is that they would all panic in parallel, but not
      process each other's shutdown IPIs because interrupts are disabled.
      
      Detect this situation early on in mce_panic(). On the first CPU
      entering will do the panic, the others will just wait to be killed.
      
      For paranoia reasons in case the other CPU dies during the MCE I added
      a 5 seconds timeout. If it expires each CPU will panic on its own again.

      x86, mce: implement bootstrapping for machine check wakeups · ccc3c319
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.
      
      The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
      a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
      it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
      to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
      to call wake_up().  Instead it set a process flag
      and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
      or in the idle notifier.
      
      This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.
      
      The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
      it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
      When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
      section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
      an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
      triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
      once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
      wake_up().
      
      When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
      eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
      compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.
      
      Contains fixes from Ying Huang.

      x86, mce: check early in exception handler if panic is needed · bd19a5e6
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The exception handler should behave differently if the exception is
      fatal versus one that can be returned from.  In the first case it should
      never clear any registers because these need to be preserved
      for logging after the next boot. Otherwise it should clear them
      on each CPU step by step so that other CPUs sharing the same bank don't
      see duplicate events. Otherwise we risk reporting events multiple
      times on any CPUs which have shared machine check banks, which
      is a common problem on Intel Nehalem which has both SMT (two
      CPU threads sharing banks) and shared machine check banks in the uncore.
      
      Determine early in a special pass if any event requires a panic.
      This uses the mce_severity() function added earlier.
      
      This is needed for the next patch.
      
      Also fixes a problem together with an earlier patch
      that corrected events weren't logged on a fatal MCE.

      x86, mce: add table driven machine check grading · 817f32d0
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The machine check grading (as in deciding what should be done for a given
      register value) has to be done multiple times soon and it's also getting
      more complicated.
      So it makes sense to consolidate it into a single function. To get smaller
      and more straight forward and possibly more extensible code I opted towards
      a new table driven method. The various rules are put into a table
      when is then executed by a very simple interpreter.
      
      The grading engine is in a new file mce-severity.c. I also added a private
      include file mce-internal.h, because mce.h is already a bit too cluttered.
      
      This is dead code right now, but will be used in followon patches.
