      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. )

      arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0 · 51b563fc
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
      
          Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
          This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
          This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
          build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
          or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
      
      Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
      pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
      arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
      
      This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
      it is used.
      
      Notes for the different architectures touched:
      
      arm - we use an already exported symbol
      cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
             [Not build tested]
      mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
             Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
             the linker script.
             [Not build tested]
      powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
                [not build tested]
      sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
      um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
      xtensa - added options to CPP invocation

      sparc: Kill PROM console driver. · 09d3f3f0
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
      days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
      in any situation.
      
      Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
      bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
      
      If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
      depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
      of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
      so there are no excuses.

      sparc64: Kill spurious NMI watchdog triggers by increasing limit to 30 seconds. · e6617c6e
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This is a compromise and a temporary workaround for bootup NMI
      watchdog triggers some people see with qla2xxx devices present.
      
      This happens when, for example:
      
      CPU 0 is in the driver init and looping submitting mailbox commands to
      load the firmware, then waiting for completion.
      
      CPU 1 is receiving the device interrupts.  CPU 1 is where the NMI
      watchdog triggers.
      
      CPU 0 is submitting mailbox commands fast enough that by the time CPU
      1 returns from the device interrupt handler, a new one is pending.
      This sequence runs for more than 5 seconds.
      
      The problematic case is CPU 1's timer interrupt running when the
      barrage of device interrupts begin.  Then we have:
      
      	timer interrupt
      	return for softirq checking
      	pending, thus enable interrupts
      
      		 qla2xxx interrupt
      		 return
      		 qla2xxx interrupt
      		 return
      		 ... 5+ seconds pass
      		 final qla2xxx interrupt for fw load
      		 return
      
      	run timer softirq
      	return
      
      At some point in the multi-second qla2xxx interrupt storm we trigger
      the NMI watchdog on CPU 1 from the NMI interrupt handler.
      
      The timer softirq, once we get back to running it, is smart enough to
      run the timer work enough times to make up for the missed timer
      interrupts.
      
      However, the NMI watchdogs (both x86 and sparc) use the timer
      interrupt count to notice the cpu is wedged.  But in the above
      scenerio we'll receive only one such timer interrupt even if we last
      all the way back to running the timer softirq.
      
      The default watchdog trigger point is only 5 seconds, which is pretty
      low (the softwatchdog triggers at 60 seconds).  So increase it to 30
      seconds for now.

      KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6] · ee18d64c
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
      replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
      not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
      change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
      will be after a wait*() syscall.
      
      To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
      cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
      the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
      the process may replace its parent's session keyring.
      
      The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
      as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
      the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.
      
      Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
      This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
      which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
      replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
      execution.
      
      This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
      the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
      alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
      PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
      keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
      the newpag flag.
      
      This can be tested with the following program:
      
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <stdlib.h>
      	#include <keyutils.h>
      
      	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18
      
      	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
      
      	int main(int argc, char **argv)
      	{
      		key_serial_t keyring, key;
      		long ret;
      
      		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
      		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");
      
      		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
      		OSERROR(key, "add_key");
      
      		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
      		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");
      
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:
      
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
      	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
      	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
      	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      
      Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
      'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

      sparc64: Validate linear D-TLB misses. · d8ed1d43
      David S. Miller 提交于
      When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any
      virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses.  But with kgdb, kernel
      address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary
      crap.
      
      So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory
      that actually exists.
      
      In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap
      into the kernel image.  And in order to make that less expensive we
      make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is
      decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit
      physical address space.  We can do this because bit 41 indicates
      "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges.
      
      The result of this is that:
      
      1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size
      
      2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap
      
      We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated
      once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have
      crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such.
      
      If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal
      inside of the cpu.  So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu
      will be out of trap levels and enter RED state.
      
      To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check
      to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set.  We
      could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an
      unnecessary extra memory reference.
      
      On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations
      into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB
      misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks
      in the TLB miss path.

      sparc32: Kill trap table freeing code. · a9919646
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Normally, srmmu uses different trap table register values to allow
      determination of the cpu we're on.  All of the trap tables have
      identical content, they just sit at different offsets from the first
      trap table, and the offset shifted down and masked out determines
      the cpu we are on.
      
      The code tries to free them up when they aren't actually used
      (don't have all 4 cpus, we're on sun4d, etc.) but that causes
      problems.
      
      For one thing it triggers false positives in the DMA debugging
      code.  And fixing that up while preserving this relative offset
      thing isn't trivial.
      
      So just kill the freeing code, it costs us at most 3 pages, big
      deal...
