      cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle... · f77cfe4e

      cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer
      
      Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle"
      events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex.
      
      It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use
      the cpuidle subsystem, namely:
        - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c
        - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c
        - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c
        - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c
        - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait)
        - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess)
        - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before)
      
      Convention should be:
      Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere
      down the the callee tree) to keep things easy.
      
      Current possible pm_idle functions in X86:
      c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle
      -> this is really easy is now.
      
      This affects userspace:
      The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get
      mapped to:
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...}
      instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values.
      This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver.
      For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor
      misses out C-states in his BIOS.
      Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle
      events from:
      /sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped
      to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss
      out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3.
      -> everything is fine.

      perf: Clean up power events by introducing new, more generic ones · 25e41933
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      Add these new power trace events:
      
       power:cpu_idle
       power:cpu_frequency
       power:machine_suspend
      
      The old C-state/idle accounting events:
        power:power_start
        power:power_end
      
      Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old
      tracepoints for compatibility):
      
        power:cpu_idle
      
      and
        power:power_frequency
      
      is replaced with:
        power:cpu_frequency
      
      power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.
      
      Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer
      (kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it.
      
      the type= field got removed from both, it was never
      used and the type is differed by the event type itself.
      
      perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.

      x86-64, fpu: Disable preemption when using TS_USEDFPU · a4d4fbc7
      Brian Gerst 提交于
      Consolidates code and fixes the below race for 64-bit.
      
      commit 9fa2f37bfeb798728241cc4a19578ce6e4258f25
      Author: torvalds <torvalds>
      Date:   Tue Sep 2 07:37:25 2003 +0000
      
          Be a lot more careful about TS_USEDFPU and preemption
      
          We had some races where we testecd (or set) TS_USEDFPU together
          with sequences that depended on the setting (like clearing or
          setting the TS flag in %cr0) and we could be preempted in between,
          which screws up the FPU state, since preemption will itself change
          USEDFPU and the TS flag.
      
          This makes it a lot more explicit: the "internal" low-level FPU
          functions ("__xxxx_fpu()") all require preemption to be disabled,
          and the exported "real" functions will make sure that is the case.
      
          One case - in __switch_to() - was switched to the non-preempt-safe
          internal version, since the scheduler itself has already disabled
          preemption.

      x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code · faa4602e
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
      v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
      as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
      
      It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
      regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
      needed for perf either.
      
      Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
      was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
      much simpler approach.
      
      So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
      APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

      The above printout is missing register dump completely. The

      show KERN_INFO log-level messages. We didn't see this before
      because both of us were testing on 32-bit kernels which use the
      _default_ log-level.
      
      Fix that up by explicitly using KERN_DEFAULT log-level for
      __show_regs() printks.

      hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events · 24f1e32c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
      perf events instances.
      
      Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
      register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..
      
      The new layering is now made as follows:
      
             ptrace       kgdb      ftrace   perf syscall
                \          |          /         /
                 \         |         /         /
                                              /
                  Core breakpoint API        /
                                            /
                           |               /
                           |              /

                     Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
                                          (Part of core breakpoint API)
                           |
                           |
      
                   Hardware debug registers
      
      Reasons of this rewrite:
      
      - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
        implying an easier arch integration
      - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
        events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)
      
      Impact:
      
      - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
      - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
        thread breakpoints references.
      
      Todo (in the order):
      
      - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
        perf_bpcounter_event())
      - Support from perf tools
      
      Changes in v2:
      
      - Follow the perf "event " rename
      - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
        weren't released when a task ended)
      - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
        perf_event_attr.
      - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
        asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
      - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
      - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch
      
      Changes in v3:
      
      - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
        changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
        to the host.
      
      Changes in v4:
      
      - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
      - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
        module
      - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
        TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
        breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
        set when the guest used debug registers.
        (Waiting for a reliable optimization)
      
      Changes in v5:
      
      - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
        linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
      - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
        to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
        breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
        address registers.
      - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
      - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c
      
      Changes in v6:
      
      - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
        error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

      x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit · 89240ba0
      Stefani Seibold 提交于
      This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
      x86-64 linux.
      
      The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
      start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).
      
      The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
      stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
      macro which always returned -1.
      
      The new implementation now returns the right value.

      x86, percpu: Collect hot percpu variables into one cacheline · bdf977b3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      On x86_64, percpu variables current_task and kernel_stack are used for
      get_current() and current_thread_info() respectively and thus are
      often used close to each other.  Move definition of current_task to
      kernel/cpu/common.c right above kernel_stack definition and align it
      to cacheline so that they always fall into the same cacheline.  Two
      percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count
      - are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline.
      
      For consistency, current_task definition for x86_32 is also moved to
      kernel/cpu/common.c.
      
      Putting current_task and kernel_stack into the same cacheline was
      suggested by Linus Torvalds.

      Impact: fix x86_32 stack protector
      
      Brian Gerst found out that %gs was being initialized to stack_canary
      instead of stack_canary - 20, which basically gave the same canary
      value for all threads.  Fixing this also exposed the following bugs.
      
      * cpu_idle() didn't call boot_init_stack_canary()
      
      * stack canary switching in switch_to() was being done too late making
        the initial run of a new thread use the old stack canary value.
      
      Fix all of them and while at it update comment in cpu_idle() about
      calling boot_init_stack_canary().
