      perf_events: Simplify code by removing cpu argument to hw_perf_group_sched_in() · 6e37738a
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Since the cpu argument to hw_perf_group_sched_in() is always
      smp_processor_id(), simplify the code a little by removing this argument
      and using the current cpu where needed.

      perf_events: Add new start/stop PMU callbacks · d76a0812
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same
      event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop
      and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be
      released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will
      again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some
      processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due
      to competion between cores.
      
      This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter
      without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the
      counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value
      is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed
      until perf_enable()).

      rcu: Make rcu_read_lock_sched_held() take boot time into account · d9f1bb6a
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      Before the scheduler starts, all tasks are non-preemptible by
      definition. So, during that time, rcu_read_lock_sched_held()
      needs to always return "true".  This patch makes that be so.

      tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5 · 86c38a31
      Jeff Mahoney 提交于
      GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to
       use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if
       some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't
       declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes.
      
       For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array.
       When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events
       section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the
       structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the
       structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer.
      
       This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures
       to 4 bytes.
      
       Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with
       gcc 4.5.
      
       It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it
       might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that
       automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one
       of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

      rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU · 8bd93a2c
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU
      has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU
      to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the
      relevant grace periods to complete.  However, if all the other
      CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent
      state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are
      considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period
      is instantly complete.
      
      This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period
      machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete
      quickly.  It does so a limited number of times in order to
      prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass
      itself to call_rcu().
      
      However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in
      dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug
      noted by Lai Jiangshan).  Also, take advantage of last
      grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve
      Rostedt.  And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by
      Frederic Weisbecker.
