Add TSX event aliases, and export them from the kernel to perf. These are used by perf stat -T and to allow more user friendly access to events. The events are designed to be fairly generic and may also apply to other architectures implementing HTM. They all cover common situations that happens during tuning of transactional code. For Haswell we have to separate the HLE and RTM events, as they are separate in the PMU. This adds the following events: tx-start Count start transaction (used by perf stat -T) tx-commit Count commit of transaction tx-abort Count all aborts tx-conflict Count aborts due to conflict with another CPU. tx-capacity Count capacity aborts (transaction too large) Then matching el-* events for HLE cycles-t Transactional cycles (used by perf stat -T) * also exists on POWER8 cycles-ct Transactional cycles commited (used by perf stat -T) * according to Michael Ellerman POWER8 has a cycles-transactional-committed, * perf stat -T handles both cases Note for useful abort profiling often precise has to be set, as Haswell can only report the point inside the transaction with precise=2. For some classes of aborts, like conflicts, this is not needed, as it makes more sense to look at the complete critical section. This gives a clean set of generalized events to examine transaction success and aborts. Haswell has additional events for TSX, but those are more specialized for very specific situations.

Use the existing weight reporting facility to report the transaction abort cost, that is the number of cycles wasted in aborts. Haswell reports this in the PEBS record. This was in fact the original user for weight. This is a very useful sort key to concentrate on the most costly aborts and a good metric for TSX tuning.

With checkpointed counters there can be a situation where the counter is overflowing, aborts the transaction, is set back to a non overflowing checkpoint, causes interupt. The interrupt doesn't see the overflow because it has been checkpointed. This is then a spurious PMI, typically with a ugly NMI message. It can also lead to excessive aborts. Avoid this problem by: - Using the full counter width for counting counters (earlier patch) - Forbid sampling for checkpointed counters. It's not too useful anyways, checkpointing is mainly for counting. The check is approximate (to still handle KVM), but should catch the majority of cases. - On a PMI always set back checkpointed counters to zero.

There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI fixed counters, e.g., IMC. It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value which was then written to PCI config space. The erratic values can be seen via: $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10 The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues. This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.

cpu_has_amd_erratum() is buggy, because it uses the per-cpu cpu_info before it is filled by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info(). If early microcode loading is enabled its collect_cpu_info_amd_early() will fill ->x86 and so the fallback to boot_cpu_data is not used. But ->x86_vendor was not filled and is still X86_VENDOR_INTEL resulting in no errata fixes getting applied and my system hangs on boot. Using cpu_info in cpu_has_amd_erratum() is wrong anyway: its only caller init_amd() will have a struct cpuinfo_x86 as parameter and the set_cpu_bug() that is controlled by cpu_has_amd_erratum() also only uses that struct. So pass the struct cpuinfo_x86 from init_amd() to cpu_has_amd_erratum() and the broken fallback can be dropped.

We try to handle the hypervisor compatibility mode by detecting hypervisor through a specific order. This is not robust, since hypervisors may implement each others features. This patch tries to handle this situation by always choosing the last one in the CPUID leaves. This is done by letting .detect() return a priority instead of true/false and just re-using the CPUID leaf where the signature were found as the priority (or 1 if it was found by DMI). Then we can just pick hypervisor who has the highest priority. Other sophisticated detection method could also be implemented on top. Suggested by H. Peter Anvin and Paolo Bonzini. Acked-by: NK. Y.

John McCalpin reports that the "drs_data" and "ncb_data" QPI uncore events are missing the "extra bit" and always return zero values unless the bit is properly set. More details from him: According to the Xeon E5-2600 Product Family Uncore Performance Monitoring Guide, Table 2-94, about 1/2 of the QPI Link Layer events (including the ones that "perf" calls "drs_data" and "ncb_data") require that the "extra bit" be set. This was confusing for a while -- a note at the bottom of page 94 says that the "extra bit" is bit 16 of the control register. Unfortunately, Table 2-86 clearly says that bit 16 is reserved and must be zero. Looking around a bit, I found that bit 21 appears to be the correct "extra bit", and further investigation shows that "perf" actually agrees with me: [root@c560-003.stampede]# cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_qpi_0/format/event config:0-7,21 So the command # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=drs_data/" Is the same as # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x02,umask=0x08/" While it should be # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x102,umask=0x08/" I confirmed that this last version gives results that agree with the amount of data that I expected the STREAM benchmark to move across the QPI link in the second (cross-chip) test of the original script.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

The Corrected Machine Check structure (CMC) in HEST has a flag which can be set by the firmware to indicate to the OS that it prefers to process the corrected error events first. In this scenario, the OS is expected to not monitor for corrected errors (through CMCI/polling). Instead, the firmware notifies the OS on corrected error events through GHES. Linux already has support for GHES. This patch adds support for parsing CMC structure and to disable CMCI/polling if the firmware first flag is set. Further, the list of machine check bank structures at the end of CMC is used to determine which MCA banks function in FF mode, so that we continue to monitor error events on the other banks.

This patch fixes a problem with the shared registers mutual exclusion code and incremental event scheduling by the generic perf_event code. There was a bug whereby the mutual exclusion on the shared registers was not enforced because of incremental scheduling abort due to event constraints. As an example on Intel Nehalem, consider the following events: group1= L1D_CACHE_LD:E_STATE,OFFCORE_RESPONSE_0:PF_RFO,L1D_CACHE_LD:I_STATE group2= L1D_CACHE_LD:I_STATE The L1D_CACHE_LD event can only be measured by 2 counters. Yet, there are 3 instances here. The first group can be scheduled and is committed. Then, the generic code tries to schedule group2 and this fails (because there is no more counter to support the 3rd instance of L1D_CACHE_LD). But in x86_schedule_events() error path, put_event_contraints() is invoked on ALL the events and not just the ones that just failed. That causes the "lock" on the shared offcore_response MSR to be released. Yet the first group is actually scheduled and is exposed to reprogramming of that shared msr by the sibling HT thread. In other words, there is no guarantee on what is measured. This patch fixes the problem by tagging committed events with the PERF_X86_EVENT_COMMITTED tag. In the error path of x86_schedule_events(), only the events NOT tagged have their constraint released. The tag is eventually removed when the event in descheduled.

Recent Intel CPUs like Haswell and IvyBridge have a new alternative MSR range for perfctrs that allows writing the full counter width. Enable this range if the hardware reports it using a new capability bit. Currently the perf code queries CPUID to get the counter width, and sign extends the counter values as needed. The traditional PERFCTR MSRs always limit to 32bit, even though the counter internally is larger (usually 48 bits on recent CPUs) When the new capability is set use the alternative range which do not have these restrictions. This lowers the overhead of perf stat slightly because it has to do less interrupts to accumulate the counter value. On Haswell it also avoids some problems with TSX aborting when the end of the counter range is reached. ( See the patch "perf/x86/intel: Avoid checkpointed counters causing excessive TSX aborts" for more details. ) Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1372173153-20215-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.orgSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

We have problems in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c::generic_get_mtrr(). 1. for base, we miss cast base_lo to 64bit before shifting. Fix that by adding u64 casting. 2. for size, it only can handle 44 bits aka 32bits + page_shift Fix that with 64bit mask instead of 32bit mask_lo, then range could be more than 44bits. At the same time, we need to update size_or_mask for old cpus that does support cpuid 0x80000008 to get phys_addr. Need to set high 32bits to all 1s, otherwise will not get correct size for them. Also fix mtrr_add_page: it should check base and (base + size - 1) instead of base and size, as base and size could be small but base + size could bigger enough to be out of boundary. We can use boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits directly to avoid size_or_mask. So When are we going to have size more than 44bits? that is 16TiB. after patch we have right ouput: reg00: base=0x080000000 ( 2048MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: uncachable reg01: base=0x380000000000 (58720256MB), size=1048576MB, count=1: uncachable reg02: base=0x099000000 ( 2448MB), size= 16MB, count=1: write-through reg03: base=0x09a000000 ( 2464MB), size= 16MB, count=1: write-through reg04: base=0x381ffa000000 (58851232MB), size= 32MB, count=1: write-through reg05: base=0x381ffc000000 (58851264MB), size= 1MB, count=1: write-through reg06: base=0x0ad000000 ( 2768MB), size= 16MB, count=1: write-through reg07: base=0x0bd000000 ( 3024MB), size= 16MB, count=1: write-through reg08: base=0x09b000000 ( 2480MB), size= 16MB, count=1: write-combining -v2: simply checking in mtrr_add_page according to hpa.

This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking, and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time.

[Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers, it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty. To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time. So, let's introduce entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post- processing of each irq handler. A way to use them is as follows. Non-trace irq handler: smp_irq_handler() { entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */ __smp_irq_handler(); /* * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers * in a vector. */ exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */ } Trace irq_handler: smp_trace_irq_handler() { entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */ trace_irq_entry(); /* tracepoint for irq entry */ __smp_irq_handler(); /* * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers * in a vector. */ trace_irq_exit(); /* tracepoint for irq exit */ exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */ } If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows, it looks cleaner. smp_trace_irq_handler() { trace_irq_entry(); smp_irq_handler(); trace_irq_exit(); } But it doesn't work. The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before trace_irq_enter/exit(), because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use rcu to synchronize. As a possible alternative, we may be able to call irq_enter() first as follows if irq_enter() can nest. smp_trace_irq_hander() { irq_entry(); trace_irq_entry(); smp_irq_handler(); trace_irq_exit(); irq_exit(); } But it doesn't work, either. If irq_enter() is nested, it may have a time penalty because it has to check if it was already called or not. The time penalty is not desired in performance sensitive paths even if it is tiny.

We want to use this in early code where alternatives might not have run yet and for that case we fall back to the dynamic boot_cpu_has. For that, force a 5-byte jump since the compiler could be generating differently sized jumps for each label.

static_cpu_has may be used only after alternatives have run. Before that it always returns false if constant folding with __builtin_constant_p() doesn't happen. And you don't want that. This patch is the result of me debugging an issue where I overzealously put static_cpu_has in code which executed before alternatives have run and had to spend some time with scratching head and cursing at the monitor. So add a jump to a warning which screams loudly when we use this function too early. The alternatives patch that check away in conjunction with patching the rest of the kernel image.

If we want to have an overarching option, it should be an option which selects other options, not as a group option in the source code. ] Signed-off-by: NBorislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1370772454-6106-4-git-send-email-bp@alien8.deSigned-off-by: NH.
