| | * | | | perf_events: Update PEBS event constraintsStephane Eranian2011-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates PEBS event constraints for Intel Atom, Nehalem, Westmere. This patch also reorganizes the PEBS format/constraint detection code. It is now based on processor model and not PEBS format. Two processors may use the same PEBS format without have the same list of PEBS events. In this second version, we simplified the initialization of the PEBS constraints by leveraging the existing switch() statement in perf_event_intel.c. We also renamed the constraint tables to be more consistent with regular constraints. In this 3rd version, we drop BR_INST_RETIRED.MISPRED from Intel Atom as it does not seem to work. Use MISPREDICTED_BRANCH_RETIRED instead. Also add FP_ASSIST.* o both Intel Nehalem and Westmere. I misssed those in the earlier patches. Events were tested using libpfm4 perf_examples.

It has been tested on SandyBridge CPUs with perf stat and also with PEBS based profiling - both work fine. The patch does not affect other models. v2 -> v3: - fix PEBS event 0xd0 with right umask combinations - move snb pebs constraint assignment to intel_pmu_init v1 -> v2: - add more raw and PEBS events constraints - use offcore events for LLC-* cache events - remove the call to Nehalem workaround enable_all function Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> LKML-Reference: <1299072424.2175.24.camel@localhost> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

There are major changes compared to family 10h. First, there is a new perfctr msr range for up to 6 counters. Northbridge counters are separate now. This patch only adds support for core counters. Second, certain events may only be scheduled on certain counters. For this we need to extend the event scheduling and constraints. We use cpu feature flags to calculate family 15h msr address offsets. This way we later can implement a faster ALTERNATIVE() version for this.

For example, if there is four records in storage with ID: 1, 2, 3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow, reader 1 reader 2 1 2 3 4 -1 -1 where -1 signals there is no more record ID. Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no chance to check record 1 and 3. And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any record even they are not cleared by anyone. This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for used by multiple users. To solve the issue, an in-memory ERST record ID cache is designed and implemented. When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to caller. So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID available.

This resulted in the boot processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual write only if they are different. BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's happens and all is well. However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of the OS boot. During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup. We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the commit d0af9eed5aa91b6b7b5049cae69e5ea956fd85c3, because only the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP had at the start of the OS boot. Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot. Addresses https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623393 [ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ] Reported-and-bisected-by: Markus Kohn <jabber@gmx.org> Tested-by: Markus Kohn <jabber@gmx.org> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Thomas Renninger <trenn@novell.com> Cc: Rafael Wysocki <rjw@novell.com> Cc: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@google.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org # [v2.6.32+] LKML-Reference: <1296694975.4418.402.camel@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is because both 'perf top' and nmi-watchdog use same event. So while nmi-watchdog reserves one event/counter for own needs there is no room for perf tool left (there is a way to disable nmi-watchdog on boot of course). Ming has tested this patch with the following results | 1. watchdog disabled | | kgdb tests on boot OK | perf works OK | | 2. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 | | kgdb tests on boot hang | | 3. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 and do not run kgdb | tests on boot | | "perf top" partialy works | cpu-cycles no | instructions yes | cache-references no | cache-misses no | branch-instructions no | branch-misses yes | bus-cycles no | | 4. watchdog enabled, with patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 applied | | kgdb tests on boot OK | perf does not work, NMI "Dazed and confused" messages show up | Which means we still have problems with p4 box due to 'unknown' nmi happens but at least it should fix kgdb test cases.

| * | x86, NMI: Remove DIE_NMI_IPIDon Zickus2011-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI. This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit. Instead of calling the die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before the if-statement. This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent) internal NMIs are dealt with.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities for the die notifiers. I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the notifier blocks. Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created priorities. Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the event DIE_NMI_IPI.

This shift has caused a whole bunch of compile problems under different config options. I attempt to simplify things with the patch below. In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing, the former on a local level and the latter on a global level. With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't make sense any more. x86 will now use the global implementation. The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog functionality, so the change should make sense. Second, I removed the x86 implementation of touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation. Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This changes removes some of the ugliness in that file. Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can only have one nmi_watchdog. Tested with ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken emails. :-) v3: changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.
