      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      addon_cpuid_features.c contains exactly two almost completely
      unrelated functions, plus has a long and very generic name.  Split it
      into two files, scattered.c for the scattered feature flags, and
      topology.c for the topology information.

      CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86
      CPU configuration via debugfs, has caused boot failures on real
      hardware.  The value of this feature has been marginal at best, as all

      Causes crashes that have not been fixed + minimal utility -> remove.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      x86: sched: Provide arch implementations using aperf/mperf · 47fe38fc
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      APERF/MPERF support for cpu_power.
      
      APERF/MPERF is arch defined to be a relative scale of work capacity
      per logical cpu, this is assumed to include SMT and Turbo mode.
      
      APERF/MPERF are specified to both reset to 0 when either counter
      wraps, which is highly inconvenient, since that'll give a blimp
      when that happens. The manual specifies writing 0 to the counters
      after each read, but that's 1) too expensive, and 2) destroys the
      possibility of sharing these counters with other users, so we live
      with the blimp - the other existing user does too.

      tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3 · 0ca59dd9
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime
      
      On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state.
      On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but
      it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data
      is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a
      crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime.
      
      Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too.
      
      Changes on v2:
      
      We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the
      current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing.
      
      This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where
      the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper
      function used at this stage.

      x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor · 88b094fb
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.
      
      v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request
      	 behind a hypervisor.c file
      v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure.
      	 This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function.
      
      This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware.
      The current way to check if we are on VMware is following,
      #  check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000
         cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature.
      #  if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string
         if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are
         under VMware.
      
      The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products,
      which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf.
      Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor
      port should never be accessed on native hardware.
      
      This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of
      calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized
      environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from
      the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware.
      Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on
      their platform.

      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its

      /proc/cpuinfo.  This patch generates the latter from the former.
      
      It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by
      making that require a separate action it should at least be less
      likely to happen.
      
      It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are
      gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace
      interface and must remain constant.)

      x86: configuration options to compile out x86 CPU support code · 8d02c211
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      This patch adds some configuration options that allow to compile out
      CPU vendor-specific code in x86 kernels (in arch/x86/kernel/cpu). The
      new configuration options are only visible when CONFIG_EMBEDDED is
      selected, as they are mostly interesting for space savings reasons.
      
      An example of size saving, on x86 with only Intel CPU support:
      
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      1125479	 118760	 212992	1457231	 163c4f	vmlinux.old
      1121355	 116536	 212992	1450883	 162383	vmlinux
        -4124   -2224       0   -6348   -18CC +/-
      
      However, I'm not exactly sure that the Kconfig wording is correct with
      regard to !64BIT / 64BIT.

      x86: move cmpxchg fallbacks to a generic place · 774400a3
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c defines a few fallback functions
      (cmpxchg_*()) that are used when the CPU doesn't support cmpxchg
      and/or cmpxchg64 natively. However, while defined in an Intel-specific
      file, these functions are also used for CPUs from other vendors when
      they don't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64. This breaks the
      compilation when support for Intel CPUs is disabled.
      
      This patch moves these functions to a new

      Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for

      The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a

      which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.
