      perf: Fix inconsistency between IP and callchain sampling · 339ce1a4
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      When running perf across all cpus with backtracing (-a -g), sometimes we
      get samples without associated backtraces:
      
          23.44%         init  [kernel]                     [k] restore
          11.46%         init                       eeba0c  [k] 0x00000000eeba0c
           6.77%      swapper  [kernel]                     [k] .perf_ctx_adjust_freq
           5.73%         init  [kernel]                     [k] .__trace_hcall_entry
           4.69%         perf  libc-2.9.so                  [.] 0x0000000006bb8c
                             |
                             |--11.11%-- 0xfffa941bbbc
      
      It turns out the backtrace code has a check for the idle task and the IP
      sampling does not. This creates problems when profiling an interrupt
      heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces
      for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload).
      
      Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never
      happen so remove that too.
      
      Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top
      of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.

      perf: Stop stack frame walking off kernel addresses boundaries · c2c5d45d
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      While processing kernel perf callchains, an bad entry can be
      considered as a valid stack pointer but not as a kernel address.
      
      In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an
      x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel
      stacktrace.
      
      Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid
      kernel address.
      
      This fixes a hard lockup in x86-32.

      x86, irq: Check move_in_progress before freeing the vector mapping · 7f41c2e1
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed
      "No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM
      AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit:
      
      > commit 23359a88
      > Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
      > Date:   Mon Oct 26 14:24:33 2009 -0800
      >
      >    x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg
      
      As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check
      in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a
      situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector
      mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration
      might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get
      the "No IRQ handler" messages.
      
      Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move
      is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup
      interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the
      new cpu destination).

      x86, compress: Force i386 instructions for the decompressor · 17a2a9b5
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which
      default to -march=i686.  This breaks building kernels for pre-i686
      machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the
      generation of CMOV instructions.
      
      There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these
      instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the
      decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.

      Revert "x86, ucode-amd: Ensure ucode update on suspend/resume after CPU off/online cycle" · 2f99f5c8
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 9f15226e.  It's just
      wrong, and broke resume for Rafael even on a non-AMD CPU.
      
      As Rafael says:
       "... it causes microcode_init_cpu() to be called during resume even for
        CPUs for which there's no microcode to apply.  That, in turn, results
        in executing request_firmware() (on Intel CPUs at least) which doesn't
        work at this stage of resume (we have device interrupts disabled, I/O
        devices are still suspended and so on).
      
        If I'm not mistaken, the "if (uci->valid)" logic means "if that CPU is
        known to us" , so before commit 9f15226e microcode_resume_cpu() was
        called for all CPUs already in the system during suspend, which was
        the right thing to do.  The commit changed it so that the CPUs without
        microcode to apply are now treated as "unknown", which is not quite
        right.
      
        The problem this commit attempted to solve has to be handled
        differently."

      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c: avoid cross-CPU interrupts by using smp_call_function_any()
      
      Presently acpi-cpufreq will perform the MSR read on the first CPU in the
      mask.  That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU.
      Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
      rdmsr on the current CPU.
      
      So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), which will perform the
      call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).

      The only thing arch-specific about calling _PDC is what bits get

      There's no need for several levels of indirection to twiddle those
      bits. Additionally, since we're just messing around with a buffer,
      we can simplify the interface; no need to pass around the entire
