I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day. Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are occurring.

With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat summaries. While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions. I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to keep a machine check summary. The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

On a large machine I noticed the columns of /proc/interrupts failed to line up with the header after CPU9. At sufficiently large numbers of CPUs it becomes impossible to line up the CPU number with the counts. While fixing this I noticed x86 has a number of updates that we may as well pull in. On PowerPC we currently omit an interrupt completely if there is no active handler, whereas on x86 it is printed if there is a non zero count. The x86 code also spaces the first column correctly based on nr_irqs. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This adds powerpc-specific tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit. While we already have generic irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit tracepoints there are cases on our virtualised powerpc machines where an interrupt is presented to the OS, but subsequently handled by the hypervisor. This means no OS interrupt handler is invoked. Here is an example on a POWER6 machine with the patch below applied: <idle>-0 [006] 3243.949840744: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10 <idle>-0 [006] 3243.949850520: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10 <idle>-0 [007] 3243.950218208: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10 <idle>-0 [007] 3243.950224080: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021879320: irq_entry: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021883616: irq_handler_entry: irq=87 handler=eth0 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021887328: irq_handler_exit: irq=87 return=handled <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021897408: irq_exit: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0 Here we see two phantom interrupts (no handler was invoked), followed by a real interrupt for eth0.

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. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on them. This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this issue. Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based single link list implementation to track counters that have pending wakeups. [ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the network wakeups. ] Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the wakeup. The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be sufficient.

Impact: build fix for powerpc Commit bd753921015e7905 ("perf_counter: software counter event infrastructure") introduced a use of TIF_PERF_COUNTERS into the core perfcounter code. This breaks the build on powerpc because we use a flag in a per-cpu area to signal wakeups on powerpc rather than a thread_info flag, because the thread_info flags have to be manipulated with atomic operations and are thus slower than per-cpu flags. This fixes the by changing the core to use an abstracted set_perf_counter_pending() function, which is defined on x86 to set the TIF_PERF_COUNTERS flag and on powerpc to set the per-cpu flag (paca->perf_counter_pending). It changes the previous powerpc definition of set_perf_counter_pending to not take an argument and adds a clear_perf_counter_pending, so as to simplify the definition on x86. On x86, set_perf_counter_pending() is defined as a macro. Defining it as a static inline in arch/x86/include/asm/perf_counters.h causes compile failures because <asm/perf_counters.h> gets included early in <linux/sched.h>, and the definitions of set_tsk_thread_flag etc. are therefore not available in <asm/perf_counters.h>. (On powerpc this problem is avoided by defining set_perf_counter_pending etc. in <asm/hw_irq.h>.) Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are soft-disabled but hard-enabled). In such a situation the performance monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI handler. This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled, either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt handler to code that had interrupts enabled. We have a per-processor flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts subsequently get re-enabled. This flag is checked in the interrupt return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set, perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

The radix trees used by interrupt controllers for their irq reverse mapping (currently only the XICS found on pSeries) have a complex locking scheme dating back to before the advent of the lockless radix tree. This takes advantage of the lockless radix tree and of the fact that the items of the tree are pointers to a static array (irq_map) elements which can never go under us to simplify the locking. Concurrency between readers and writers is handled by the intrinsic properties of the lockless radix tree. Concurrency between writers is handled with a global mutex.

irq_radix_revmap() currently serves 2 purposes, irq mapping lookup and insertion which happen in interrupt and process context respectively. Separate the function into its 2 components, one for lookup only and one for insertion only. Fix the only user of the revmap tree (XICS) to use the new functions. Also, move the insertion into the radix tree of those irqs that were requested before it was initialized at said tree initialization. Mutual exclusion between the tree initialization and readers/writers is handled via a state variable (revmap_trees_allocated) set to 1 when the tree has been initialized and set to 2 after the already requested irqs have been inserted in the tree by the init path. This state is checked before any reader or writer access just like we used to check for tree.gfp_mask != 0 before. Finally, now that we're not any longer inserting nodes into the radix-tree in interrupt context, turn the GFP_ATOMIC allocations into GFP_KERNEL ones.

This makes it possible to use separate stacks for hard and soft IRQs on 32-bit powerpc as well as on 64-bit. The code for 32-bit is just the 32-bit analog of the 64-bit code. * Added allocation and initialization of the irq stacks. We limit the stacks to be in lowmem for ppc32. * Implemented ppc32 versions of call_do_softirq() and call_handle_irq() to switch the stack pointers * Reworked how we do stack overflow detection. We now keep around the limit of the stack in the thread_struct and compare against the limit to see if we've overflowed. We can now use this on ppc64 if desired.

This fixes the handling of the preempt count when switching interrupt stacks so that HW interrupt properly get the softirq mask copied over from the previous stack. It also initializes the softirq stack preempt_count to 0 instead of SOFTIRQ_OFFSET, like x86, as __do_softirq() does the increment, and we hit some lockdep checks if we have it twice. That means we do run for a little while off the softirq stack with the preempt-count set to 0, which could be deadly if we try to take a softirq at that point, however we do so with interrupts disabled, so I think we are ok.

A subtle bug sneaked into iSeries recently. On this platform, we must not normally clear MSR:EE (the hardware external interrupt enable) except for short periods of time. Taking an interrupt while soft-disabled doesn't cause us to clear it for example. The iSeries kernel expects to mostly run with MSR:EE enabled at all times except in a few exception entry/exit code paths. Thus local_irq_enable() doesn't check if it needs to hard-enable as it expects this to be unnecessary on iSeries. However, hard_irq_disable() _does_ cause MSR:EE to be cleared, including on iSeries. A call to it was recently added to the context switch code, thus causing interrupts to become disabled for a long periods of time, causing the iSeries watchdog to kick in under some circumstances and other nasty things. This patch fixes it by making local_irq_enable() properly re-enable MSR:EE on iSeries. It basically removes a return statement here to make iSeries use the same code path as everybody else. That does mean that we might occasionally get spurious decrementer interrupts but I don't think that matters. Another option would have been to make hard_irq_disable() a nop on iSeries but I didn't like it much, in case we have good reasons to hard-disable. Part of the patch is fixes to make sure the hard_enabled PACA field is properly set on iSeries as it used not to be before, since it was mostly unused.
