While doing some performance counter validation tests on some assembly language programs I noticed that the "branches:u" count was very wrong on AMD machines. It looks like the wrong event was selected.

2010-06-30x86: Send a SIGTRAP for user icebp trapsFrederic Weisbecker
Before we had a generic breakpoint layer, x86 used to send a sigtrap for any debug event that happened in userspace, except if it was caused by lazy dr7 switches. Currently we only send such signal for single step or breakpoint events. However, there are three other kind of debug exceptions: - debug register access detected: trigger an exception if the next instruction touches the debug registers. We don't use it. - task switch, but we don't use tss. - icebp/int01 trap. This instruction (0xf1) is undocumented and generates an int 1 exception. Unlike single step through TF flag, it doesn't set the single step origin of the exception in dr6. icebp then used to be reported in userspace using trap signals but this have been incidentally broken with the new breakpoint code. Reenable this. Since this is the only debug event that doesn't set anything in dr6, this is all we have to check. This fixes a regression in Wine where World Of Warcraft got broken as it uses this for software protection checks purposes. And probably other apps do.

2010-06-09x86, irq: Rename gsi_end gsi_top, and fix off by one errorsEric W. Biederman
When I introduced the global variable gsi_end I thought gsi_end on io_apics was one past the end of the gsi range for the io_apic. After it was pointed out the the range on io_apics was inclusive I changed my global variable to match. That was a big mistake. Inclusive semantics without a range start cannot describe the case when no gsi's are allocated. Describing the case where no gsi's are allocated is important in sfi.c and mpparse.c so that we can assign gsi numbers instead of blindly copying the gsi assignments the BIOS has done as we do in the acpi case. To keep from getting the global variable confused with the gsi range end rename it gsi_top. To allow describing the case where no gsi's are allocated have gsi_top be one place the highest gsi number seen in the system.

2010-05-31perf_events: Fix event scheduling issues introduced by transactional APIStephane Eranian
The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though harder to expose. The issues were: - group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path - cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back. - in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg. But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1. The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems. First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events. Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag. With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

2010-05-25driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loadingKay Sievers
This adds: alias: devname:<name> to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading of the kernel module when the device node is accessed. Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts. The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory: $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading. microcode cpu/microcode c10:184 fuse fuse c10:229 ppp_generic ppp c108:0 tun net/tun c10:200 dm_mod mapper/control c10:235 Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed: $ /sbin/udevd --debug ... static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666 A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor numbers. Note: The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance* device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.

2010-05-25perf, trace: Fix !x86 build bugPeter Zijlstra
Patch b7e2ecef92 (perf, trace: Optimize tracepoints by removing IRQ-disable from perf/tracepoint interaction) made the unfortunate mistake of assuming the world is x86 only, correct this. The problem was that perf_fetch_caller_regs() did local_save_flags() into regs->flags, and I re-used that to remove another local_save_flags(), forgetting !x86 doesn't have regs->flags. Do the reverse, remove the local_save_flags() from perf_fetch_caller_regs() and let the ftrace site do the local_save_flags() instead.

2010-05-24x86: "nosmp" command line option should force the system into UP modeJan Beulich
Bits set in cpu_possible_mask prior to the execution of prefill_possible_map() (i.e. when parsing ACPI or MPS tables) would prevent the SMP alternatives logic from switching to UP mode, plus unnecessary setup of per-CPU data for CPUs that can never come online. Additionally, without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled CPUs can never come online, and hence setting cpu_possible_mask bits for them is again a simple waste of resources.

2010-05-24x86, apic: ack all pending irqs when crashed/on kexecKerstin Jonsson
When the SMP kernel decides to crash_kexec() the local APICs may have pending interrupts in their vector tables. The setup routine for the local APIC has a deficient mechanism for clearing these interrupts, it only handles interrupts that has already been dispatched to the local core for servicing (the ISR register) safely, it doesn't consider lower prioritized queued interrupts stored in the IRR register. If you have more than one pending interrupt within the same 32 bit word in the LAPIC vector table registers you may find yourself entering the IO APIC setup with pending interrupts left in the LAPIC. This is a situation for wich the IO APIC setup is not prepared. Depending of what/which interrupt vector/vectors are stuck in the APIC tables your system may show various degrees of malfunctioning. That was the reason why the check_timer() failed in our system, the timer interrupts was blocked by pending interrupts from the old kernel when routed trough the IO APIC. Additional comment from Jiri Bohac: ============== If this should go into stable release, I'd add some kind of limit on the number of iterations, just to be safe from hard to debug lock-ups: +if (loops++ > MAX_LOOPS) { + printk("LAPIC pending clean-up") + break; +} while (queued); with MAX_LOOPS something like 1E9 this would leave plenty of time for the pending IRQs to be cleared and would and still cause at most a second of delay if the loop were to lock-up for whatever reason. [trenn@suse.de: V2: Use tsc if avail to bail out after 1 sec due to possible virtual apic_read calls which may take rather long (suggested by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>) If no tsc is available bail out quickly after cpu_khz, if we broke out too early and still have irqs pending (which should never happen?) we still get a WARN_ON... V3: - Fixed indentation -> checkpatch clean - max_loops must be signed V4: - Fix typo, mixed up tsc and ntsc in first rdtscll() call V5: Adjust WARN_ON() condition to also catch error in cpu_has_tsc case] Cc: <jbohac@novell.com> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Kerstin Jonsson <kerstin.jonsson@ericsson.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Tested-by: Eric W.

2010-05-20x86,kgdb: Implement early hardware breakpoint debuggingJason Wessel
It is not possible to use the hw_breakpoint.c API prior to mm_init(), but it is possible to use hardware breakpoints with the kernel debugger. Prior to smp_init() it is possible to simply write to the dr registers of the boot cpu directly. This can be used up until the kgdb_arch_late() is invoked, at which point the standard hw_breakpoint.c API will get used.

2010-05-20x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug statesJason Wessel
The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86 hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the kernel allocators are initialized. This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after the kernel has been further initialized. The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into the debug core's version of the late init which is called dbg_late_init(); CC: kgdb-bugreport@lists.sourceforge.net Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

2010-05-20x86,kgdb: Add low level debug hookJason Wessel
The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock, notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception handler. Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

2010-05-20kgdb: core changes to support kdbJason Wessel
These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core. This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc connection. You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type "$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the gdb stub. The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.
