* [IA64] optimize flush_tlb_range on large numa boxChen, Kenneth W2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was reported from a field customer that global spin lock ptcg_lock is giving a lot of grief on munmap performance running on a large numa machine. What appears to be a problem coming from flush_tlb_range(), which currently unconditionally calls platform_global_tlb_purge(). For some of the numa machines in existence today, this function is mapped into ia64_global_tlb_purge(), which holds ptcg_lock spin lock while executing ptc.ga instruction. Here is a patch that attempt to avoid global tlb purge whenever possible. It will use local tlb purge as much as possible. Though the conditions to use local tlb purge is pretty restrictive. One of the side effect of having flush tlb range instruction on ia64 is that kernel don't get a chance to clear out cpu_vm_mask. On ia64, this mask is sticky and it will accumulate if process bounces around. Thus diminishing the possible use of ptc.l. Thoughts?

* [PATCH] bitops: ia64: make partial_page.bitmap an unsigned longAkinobu Mita2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The find_*_bit() routines are defined to work on a pointer to unsigned long. But partial_page.bitmap is unsigned int and it is passed to find_*_bit() in arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c. So the compiler will print warnings. This patch changes to unsigned long instead.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When kretprobe probes the schedule() function, if the probed process exits then schedule() will never return, so some kretprobe instances will never be recycled. In this patch the parent process will recycle retprobe instances of the probed function and there will be no memory leak of kretprobe instances.

* [PATCH] kretprobe: kretprobe-boosterMasami Hiramatsu2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In normal operation, kretprobe makes a target function return to trampoline code. A kprobe (called trampoline_probe) has been inserted in the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to the original return address. Kretprobe-booster removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. The trampoline code returns to the original return address.

* [PATCH] x86: kprobes-boosterMasami Hiramatsu2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function. If the target instruction can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag. If not, it sets "boostable" flag -1. This is disabled status. In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model. Andrew Morton wrote: > These preempt tricks look rather nasty. Can you please describe what the > problem is, precisely? And how this code avoids it? Perhaps we can find > something cleaner. The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y). Kprobes basically executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)copied instructioin(single step) (5)kprobe_posthandler() (6)preempt_enable() (7)return to the original code During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is disabled (from step (2) to (6)). When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing int3 instruction. Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed. On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)preempt_enable() <-- this one is added by my patch (5)copied instruction(direct execution) (6)jmp back to the original code The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6), because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel. And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes' stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way to do that, but those are very costly.) So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe point is already preemption disabled. > Also, the patch adds a preempt_enable() but I don't see a corresponding > preempt_disable(). Am I missing something? It is corresponding to the preempt_disable() in the top of kprobe_handler(). I copied the code of kprobe_handler() here: static int __kprobes kprobe_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) { struct kprobe *p; int ret = 0; kprobe_opcode_t *addr = NULL; unsigned long *lp; struct kprobe_ctlblk *kcb; /* * We don't want to be preempted for the entire * duration of kprobe processing */ preempt_disable(); <-- HERE kcb = get_kprobe_ctlblk(); Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <hiramatu@sdl.hitachi.co.jp> Cc: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Cc: David S.

* [PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structureBjorn Helgaas2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want physical addresses. So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep physical addresses in struct efi. This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap() on a virtual address on ia64. This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2 except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses. Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000 systems. That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added for ia64.
