0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

3e1e9002aa x86: change static allocation of trampoline area
Impact: fix trampoline sizing bug, save space

While debugging a suspend-to-RAM related issue it occured to me that
if the trampoline code had grown past 4 KB, we would have been
allocating too little memory for it, since the 4 KB size of the
trampoline is hardcoded into arch/x86/kernel/e820.c .  Change that
by making the kernel compute the trampoline size and allocate as much
memory as necessary.

Impact: remove stale IOTLB entries

In the non-default nofullflush case the GART is only flushed when
next_bit wraps around. But it can happen that an unmap operation unmaps
memory which is behind the current next_bit location. If these addresses
are reused it may result in stale GART IO/TLB entries. Fix this by
setting the GART next_bit always behind an unmapped location.

7ee991fbc6 ftrace: print real return in dumpstack for function graph
Impact: better dumpstack output

I noticed in my crash dumps and even in the stack tracer that a
lot of functions listed in the stack trace are simply
return_to_handler which is ftrace graphs way to insert its own
call into the return of a function.

But we lose out where the actually function was called from.

This patch adds in hooks to the dumpstack mechanism that detects
this and finds the real function to print. Both are printed to
let the user know that a hook is still in place.

This does give a funny side effect in the stack tracer output:

        Depth   Size      Location    (80 entries)
        -----   ----      --------
  0)     4144      48   save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x4d
  1)     4096     128   ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b
  2)     3968      16   mempool_alloc_slab+0x16/0x18
  3)     3952     384   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  4)     3568    -240   stack_trace_call+0x11d/0x209
  5)     3808     144   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  6)     3664    -128   mempool_alloc+0x4d/0xfe
  7)     3792     128   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  8)     3664     -32   scsi_sg_alloc+0x48/0x4a [scsi_mod]

As you can see, the real functions are now negative. This is due
to them not being found inside the stack.

14a866c567 ftrace: add ftrace_graph_stop()
Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function

While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that
caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function.
Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the
bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot.
The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function.

Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph,
which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely
lock the box up if it were to trigger.

This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will
stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

48d68b20d0 tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64
Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86

This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64.
Both static and dynamic tracing are supported.

This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I
wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address
saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion.

That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these
function for other archs ports.

Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first
thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I
believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the
case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer).

So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to
enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at
this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags).

A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the
tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not
initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and,
after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to
trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I
hadn't problems with it.

5b3eec0c80 x86: ret_from_fork - get rid of jump back
Impact: remove dead code

If we take a closer look at the rff_trace/rff_action ret_from_fork code,
we have to realize that it does all the wrong things: for example it
checks the TIF flag - while later on jumping back to the ret-from-syscall
path - duplicating the check needlessly.

But checking for _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is completely unnecessary here because
we clear that flag for every freshly forked task. So the whole "tracing"
code here, for which there is a out of line jump optimization that makes
it even harder to read, is in reality completely dead code ...

287b6e68ca tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable output
Impact: feature

This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing.
For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry
and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack.

The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against
the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch.

Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at
some locations.
We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this
way of processing is much more simpler.

2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep
calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed
braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function.
If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to
find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth.

I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value
can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are.
I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print
eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part).

Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the
high part of eax could contain junk values...

Here is an example of trace:

a266d9f125 [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: ignore out-of-range PstateStatus value
A workaround for AMD CPU family 11h erratum 311 might cause that the
P-state Status Register shows a "current P-state" which is larger than
the "current P-state limit" in P-state Current Limit Register. For the
wrong P-state value there is no ACPI _PSS object defined and
powernow-k8/cpufreq can't determine the proper CPU frequency for that
state.

As a consequence this can cause a panic during boot (potentially with
all recent kernel versions -- at least I have reproduced it with
various 2.6.27 kernels and with the current .28 series), as an
example:

powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82 processors (2 \

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

In short, aftereffect of the wrong P-state is that
cpufreq_stats_update() uses "-1" as index for some array in

cpufreq_stats_update (unsigned int cpu)
{
...
     if (stat->time_in_state)
                stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
                        cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
                                      cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));
...
}

Fortunately, the wrong P-state value is returned only if the core is
in P-state 0. This fix solves the problem by detecting the
out-of-range P-state, ignoring it, and using "0" instead.

Change the in-kernel ds.h interface to identify the tracer via a

Tracers used to be identified via their task_struct.

The changes are required to allow DS to be shared between different
tasks, which is needed for perfmon2 and for ftrace.

For ptrace, the handle is stored in the traced task's task_struct.
This should probably go into a (arch-specific) ptrace context some

5f5db59132 x86, debug: remove the confusing entry in call trace
Impact: improve backtrace quality

avoid the confusion in call trace because of the lack of padding at the
tail of function.

When do_exit gets called, the return address behind call instruction is
pushed into stack. If something get wrong in do_exit, for x86_64, the
entry "kernel_execve +0x00/0xXX" rather than "child_rip +0xYY/0xZZ" is
in the call trace.

That looks confusing, so add a u2d to make the return address still part
of the original call site. (This also catches any instances of us returning
from that function somehow.)

The manual revert of the sparse_irq patches missed to bring the number
of possible irqs back to the .27 status. This resulted in a regression
when two multichannel network cards were placed in a system with only

IRQ and the device not coming up.

Remove the dynamic allocation logic leftovers and simply return
NR_IRQS in probe_nr_irqs() for now.

Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature

Usage example:

 mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
 echo sched_switch >current_tracer
 echo 1 >tracing_enabled
 .... run application ...
 echo 0 >tracing_enabled

Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'.

f201ae2356 tracing/function-return-tracer: store return stack into task_struct and allocate it dynamically
Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely

Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.

So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.

Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork

I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

stack_overflow_check() should consider the stack usage of pt_regs, and
thus it could warn us in advance. Additionally, it looks better for
the warning time to start at INITIAL_JIFFIES.

Assuming that rsp gets close to the check point before interrupt
arrives: when interrupt really happens, thread_info will be partly
overrode.

Checkin 14d7ca5c57 changed the default
reboot method to "pci", a.k.a. port CF9.  Unfortunately this has been
shown to cause lockups on at least two systems for which REBOOT_KBD
worked, both Thinkpads with Intel chipsets.  This reverts the default
to REBOOT_KBD, while leaving the option to have "reboot=pci" specified
explicitly or via a DMI match.

0ca4b6b001 x86: Fix interrupt leak due to migration
When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the
move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not
being used.  If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors
become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes
the interrupt to become unusable.

This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an
MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded
and reloaded repeatedly.

d99015b1ab x86: move entry_64.S register saving out of the macros
Here is a combined patch that moves "save_args" out-of-line for
the interrupt macro and moves "error_entry" mostly out-of-line
for the zeroentry and errorentry macros.

The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy
to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch
code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the
calling function. Normal interrupts arrive with ((~vector)-0x80)
on the stack, which gets adjusted in common_interrupt:

<common_interrupt>:
(5)  addq   $0xffffffffffffff80,(%rsp)		/* -> ~(vector) */
(4)  sub    $0x50,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5)  callq  ffffffff80214290 <do_IRQ>
<ret_from_intr>:
     ...

An apic interrupt stub now look like this:

<thermal_interrupt>:
(5)  pushq  $0xffffffffffffff05			/* ~(vector) */
(4)  sub    $0x50,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5)  callq  ffffffff80212b8f <smp_thermal_interrupt>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff80211f93 <ret_from_intr>

Similarly the exception handler register saving function becomes
simpler, without the need of any parameter shuffling. The stub
for an exception without errorcode looks like this:

<overflow>:
(6)  callq  *0x1cad12(%rip)        # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(2)  pushq  $0xffffffffffffffff			/* no syscall */
(4)  sub    $0x78,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3)  mov    %rsp,%rdi				/* pt_regs pointer */
(2)  xor    %esi,%esi				/* no error code */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80213446 <do_overflow>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>

And one for an exception with errorcode like this:

<segment_not_present>:
(6)  callq  *0x1cab92(%rip)        # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(4)  sub    $0x78,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3)  mov    %rsp,%rdi				/* pt_regs pointer */
(5)  mov    0x78(%rsp),%rsi			/* load error code */
(9)  movq   $0xffffffffffffffff,0x78(%rsp)	/* no syscall */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80213209 <do_segment_not_present>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>

Unfortunately, this last type is more than 32 bytes. But the total space
savings due to this patch is about 2500 bytes on an smp-configuration,
and I think the code is clearer than it was before. The tested kernels
were non-paravirt ones (i.e., without the indirect call at the top of
the exception handlers).

Anyhow, I tested this patch on top of a recent -tip. The machine
was an 2x4-core Xeon at 2333MHz. Measured where the delays between
(almost-)adjacent rdtsc instructions. The graphs show how much
time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured
delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent
outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were
started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added.
For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle
condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0.
Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs
for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there
are small differences.

0231022cc3 tracing/function-return-tracer: add the overrun field

We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
"20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
/debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
right.

As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

We can not put that into x86_quirks, because that is __initdata.
So try to move that to genapic, and add update_genapic in x86_quirks.

later we even could use that stub to:

 1. autodetect CONFIG_ES7000_CLUSTERED_APIC
 2. more correct inquire_remote_apic with apic_verbosity setting.

93ce99e849 x86: add rdtsc barrier to TSC sync check
Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock

Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.

With the patch, I see:

 checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
 Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
 Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed

Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:

 checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.

Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.

As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?

569712b2b0 x86: fix wakeup_cpu with numaq/es7000, v2
Impact: fix secondary-CPU wakeup/init path with numaq and es7000

While looking at wakeup_secondary_cpu for WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI:

|#ifdef WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI
|/*
| * Poke the other CPU in the eye via NMI to wake it up. Remember that the normal
| * INIT, INIT, STARTUP sequence will reset the chip hard for us, and this
| * won't ... remember to clear down the APIC, etc later.
| */
|static int __devinit
|wakeup_secondary_cpu(int logical_apicid, unsigned long start_eip)
|{
|        unsigned long send_status, accept_status = 0;
|        int maxlvt;
|...
|        if (APIC_INTEGRATED(apic_version[phys_apicid])) {
|                maxlvt = lapic_get_maxlvt();

I noticed that there is no warning about undefined phys_apicid...

because WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI and WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_INIT can not be
defined at the same time. So NUMAQ is using wrong wakeup_secondary_cpu.

WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_NMI, WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_INIT and
WAKE_SECONDARY_VIA_MIP are variants of a weird and fragile
preprocessor-driven "HAL" mechanisms to specify the kind of secondary-CPU
wakeup strategy a given x86 kernel will use.

The vast majority of systems want to use INIT for secondary wakeup - NUMAQ
uses an NMI, (old-style-) ES7000 uses 'MIP' (a firmware driven in-memory
flag to let secondaries continue).

So convert these mechanisms to x86_quirks and add a
->wakeup_secondary_cpu() method to specify the rare exception
to the sane default.

Extend genapic accordingly as well, for 32-bit.

While looking further, I noticed that functions in wakecup.h for numaq
and es7000 are different to the default in mach_wakecpu.h - but smpboot.c
will only use default mach_wakecpu.h with smphook.h.

So we need to add mach_wakecpu.h for mach_generic, to properly support
numaq and es7000, and vectorize the following SMP init methods:

	int trampoline_phys_low;
	int trampoline_phys_high;
	void (*wait_for_init_deassert)(atomic_t *deassert);
	void (*smp_callin_clear_local_apic)(void);
	void (*store_NMI_vector)(unsigned short *high, unsigned short *low);
	void (*restore_NMI_vector)(unsigned short *high, unsigned short *low);
	void (*inquire_remote_apic)(int apicid);

e7d3737ea1 tracing/function-return-tracer: support for dynamic ftrace on function return tracer
This patch adds the support for dynamic tracing on the function return tracer.
The whole difference with normal dynamic function tracing is that we don't need
to hook on a particular callback. The only pro that we want is to nop or set
dynamically the calls to ftrace_caller (which is ftrace_return_caller here).

Some security checks ensure that we are not trying to launch dynamic tracing for
return tracing while normal function tracing is already running.

An example of trace with getnstimeofday set as a filter:

ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (2283 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1396 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1825 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1426 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1464 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1524 ns)

31e889098a ftrace: pass module struct to arch dynamic ftrace functions
Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations

Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not
have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction
between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not
flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures
have.

Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance
that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module
load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the
larger jump into core kernel code.

The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks
all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what
it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying
module trampolines.

This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and
the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code:

  ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into
       a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the
       module struct if called by module init)

  ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should
       be a nop into a caller to addr.

The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture
can add any special attributes to each call site record.

The better fix is commit cbda1ba898

this blacklisting based on the DMI identification for the offending
motherboard, since sometimes this chipset (or at least a chipset with
the same PCI ID) apparently _does_ actually have an IOMMU.

62d59d17a5 tracing/function-return-tracer: make the function return tracer lockless
Impact: remove spinlocks and irq disabling in function return tracer.

I've tried to figure out all of the race condition that could happen
when the tracer pushes or pops a return address trace to/from the
current thread_info.

Theory:

_ One thread can only execute on one cpu at a time. So this code
  doesn't need to be SMP-safe. Just drop the spinlock.

_ The only race could happen between the current thread and an
  interrupt. If an interrupt is raised, it will increase the index of
  the return stack storage and then execute until the end of the
  tracing to finally free the index it used. We don't need to disable
  irqs.

This is theorical. In practice, I've tested it with a two-core SMP and
had no problem at all. Perhaps -tip testing could confirm it.

1f0d69a9fc tracing: profile likely and unlikely annotations
Impact: new unlikely/likely profiler

Andrew Morton recently suggested having an in-kernel way to profile
likely and unlikely macros. This patch achieves that goal.

When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached
to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition
are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by:

  /debugfs/tracing/profile_likely    - All likely markers
  /debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely  - All unlikely markers.

As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking
the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits
that were more than 25%.

Note:  After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton
  showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up
  the following ideas from:

  1)  Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values.
  2)  Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers.
  3)  Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely
       annotations from vsyscall_64.c.

Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar
for their feed back on this patch.

(*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls
 (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

32836259ff ACPI: pci_link: remove acpi_irq_balance_set() interface
This removes the acpi_irq_balance_set() interface from the PCI
interrupt link driver.

x86 used acpi_irq_balance_set() to tell the PCI interrupt link
driver to configure links to minimize IRQ sharing.  But the link
driver can easily figure out whether to turn on IRQ balancing
based on the IRQ model (PIC/IOAPIC/etc), so we can get rid of
that external interface.

It's better for the driver to figure this out at init-time.  If
we set it externally via the x86 code, the interface reduces
modularity, and we depend on the fact that acpi_process_madt()
happens before we process the kernel command line.

14d7ca5c57 x86: attempt reboot via port CF9 if we have standard PCI ports
Impact: Changes reboot behavior.

If port CF9 seems to be safe to touch, attempt it before trying the
keyboard controller.  Port CF9 is not available on all chipsets (a
significant but decreasing number of modern chipsets don't implement
it), but port CF9 itself should in general be safe to poke (no ill
effects if unimplemented) on any system which has PCI Configuration
Method #1 or #2, as it falls inside the PCI configuration port range
in both cases.  No chipset without PCI is known to have port CF9,
either, although an explicit "pci=bios" would mean we miss this and
therefore don't use port CF9.  An explicit "reboot=pci" can be used to
force the use of port CF9.

939b787130 x86: 64 bits: shrink and align IRQ stubs
Move the IRQ stub generation to assembly to simplify it and for
consistency with 32 bits.  Doing it in a C file with asm() statements
doesn't help clarity, and it prevents some optimizations.

Shrink the IRQ stubs down to just over four bytes per (we fit seven
into a 32-byte chunk.)  This shrinks the total icache consumption of
the IRQ stubs down to an even kilobyte, if all of them are in active
use.

The downside is that we end up with a double jump, which could have a
negative effect on some pipelines.  The double jump is always inside
the same cacheline on any modern chips.

To get the most effect, cache-align the IRQ stubs.

This makes the 64-bit code match changes already done to the 32-bit
code, and should open up irqinit*.c for unification.
