| * | perf, x86: P4 PMU - Fix unflagged overflows handlingCyrill Gorcunov2011-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don found that P4 PMU reads CCCR register instead of counter itself (in attempt to catch unflagged event) this makes P4 NMI handler to consume all NMIs it observes. So the other NMI users such as kgdb simply have no chance to get NMI on their hands. Side note: at moment there is no way to run nmi-watchdog together with perf tool. 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.

| * | x86, NMI: Add priorities to handlersDon Zickus2011-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

The scala accesses are replaced with the matching this_cpu ops which results in smaller and more efficient code. In the long run, it might be a good idea to remove cpu_data() macro too and use per_cpu macro directly. tj: updated description Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: H.

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.

Instead they return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all NMIs thinking the counters overflowed. This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests. The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as a result.

Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass 0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing: (a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any (b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack (c) Trace some other task In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just be 0. If it _is_ defined, then - in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so the caller should pass NULL for regs, - in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to dump_trace(), - in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so the caller should pass NULL for regs. Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp. This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs) that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the two versions of dump_stack().

Fake NUMA would be better of with round-robin initialization, instead of the all CPUS on first node. Change the choice of first node, back to round-robin. For testing NUMA kernel behaviour without cpusets and NUMA aware applications, it would be better to have cpus in different nodes, rather than all in a single node. With cpusets migration of tasks scenarios cannot not be tested. I guess having it round-robin shouldn't affect the use cases for all cpus on the first node. The code comments in arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c:759 indicate that this used to be the case, which was changed by commit d9c2d5ac6. It changed from roundrobin to nearer or first node. And I couldn't find any reason for this change in its changelog.
