      perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpc · 105988c0
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc.  Since we
      don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
      only software counters can be used.
      
      Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
      64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
      set_perf_counter_pending().  This needs to arrange for
      perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
      Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
      set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
      decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
      in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
      pending).  When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
      called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
      We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
      perf_counter_do_pending() or not.
      
      This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
      which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
      support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
      powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

      perf_counter: Make set_perf_counter_pending() declaration common · 9974458e
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      At present, every architecture that supports perf_counters has to
      declare set_perf_counter_pending() in its arch-specific headers.
      This consolidates the declarations into a single declaration in one
      common place, include/linux/perf_counter.h.  On powerpc, we continue
      to provide a static inline definition of set_perf_counter_pending()
      in the powerpc hw_irq.h.
      
      Also, this removes from the x86 perf_counter.h the unused null
      definitions of {test,clear}_perf_counter_pending.

      powerpc: Add compiler memory barrier to mtmsr macro · 4c75f84f
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      On 32-bit non-Book E, local_irq_restore() turns into just mtmsr(),
      which doesn't currently have a compiler memory barrier.  This means
      that accesses to memory inside a local_irq_save/restore section,
      or a spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore section on UP, can
      be reordered by the compiler to occur outside that section.
      
      To fix this, this adds a compiler memory barrier to mtmsr for both
      32-bit and 64-bit.  Having a compiler memory barrier in mtmsr makes
      sense because it will almost always be changing something about the
      context in which memory accesses are done, so in general we don't want
      memory accesses getting moved from one side of an mtmsr to the other.
      
      With the barrier in mtmsr(), some of the explicit barriers in
      hw_irq.h are now redundant, so this removes them.

      perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup · 925d519a
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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.

      perf_counter: abstract wakeup flag setting in core to fix powerpc build · b6c5a71d
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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>.)

      powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabled · 93a6d3ce
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines · d04c56f7
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
      that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
      enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
      entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
      clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
      flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
      actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.
      
      When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
      sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
      interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
      MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.
      
      This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
      easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
      machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
      soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.
      
      This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
      changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
      which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
      yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
      flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
      possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

      [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip · d1bef4ed
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
      various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
      functionality.
      
      While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
      generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
      smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
      the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
      
      The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
      driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
      straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
      (level/edge/etc.) type of details.
      
      This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
      architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
      The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
      converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
      
      As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
      (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
      
      The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
      and more consolidation between architectures.
      
      We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
      layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
      
      This patch:
      
      rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
      
      Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
      both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
      large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
      truly is.
      
      I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
      desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
      frequently.
      
      So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
      via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
      
      This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
      remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
      without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.
