2009-11-16perf_event: Optimize perf_output_lock()Peter Zijlstra1-1/+0
The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to: 1) avoid publishing incomplete data [ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry that is still being written ] 2) guarantee fwd progress [ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to 0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced quiecent states of RCU ] To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation) a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only published when the bottom most writer completes. Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we already deal with nesting due to NMIs. This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ disable/enable ops.

2009-11-12fb: remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operationsKrzysztof Helt1-6/+0
Remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations from frame buffer layer. They are used only in two drivers: 1. savagefb - and cause bug #11248 2. uvesafb Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these operations, fix the bug #11248 and avoid confusion in the future. Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug #11248. The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in the fb_release). This defeats the purpose of these operations.

2009-11-08hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf eventsFrederic Weisbecker2-125/+144
This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-11-08tracing, perf_events: Protect the buffer from recursion in perfFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+7
While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf trace events. Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock, and only that. This is because of a recursion inside perf. 1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu buffer and submit it to perf. 2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data using rcu_read_lock 3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the buffer to perf. 4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it 5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock Such scenario also happens with lock_release with rcu_read_unlock(). We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other possible kind of recursion from perf in the future. This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem. -v2: Fixed lost whitespace, added reviewed-by tag Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1257477185-7838-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-10-29param: fix lots of bugs with writing charp params from sysfs, by leaking mem.Rusty Russell1-1/+0
e180a6b7759a "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers accessing random memory. Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all: 1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param. 2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory. The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are root-only writable.

2009-10-23perf events: Fix swevent hrtimer sampling by keeping track of remaining time ↵Soeren Sandmann1-2/+2
when enabling/disabling swevent hrtimers Make the hrtimer based events work for sysprof. Whenever a swevent is scheduled out, the hrtimer is canceled. When it is scheduled back in, the timer is restarted. This happens every scheduler tick, which means the timer never expired because it was getting repeatedly restarted over and over with the same period. To fix that, save the remaining time when disabling; when reenabling, use that saved time as the period instead of the user-specified sampling period. Also, move the starting and stopping of the hrtimers to helper functions instead of duplicating the code.

2009-10-22virtio_blk: Revert serial number supportRusty Russell1-4/+0
This reverts "Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a". Turns out that virtio_pci, lguest and s/390 all have an 8 bit limit on virtio config space, so noone could ever use this. This is coming back later in a cleaner form. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: john cooper <john.cooper@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-10-22virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.hChristian Borntraeger7-0/+7
Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

2009-10-15rcu: Stopgap fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney1-5/+1
For the short term, map synchronize_rcu_expedited() to synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and to synchronize_sched_expedited() for TREE_RCU. Longer term, there needs to be a real expedited grace period for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, but candidate patches to date are considerably more complex and intrusive. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-10-14sched: Disable SD_PREFER_LOCAL for MC/CPU domainsPeter Zijlstra1-2/+2
Yanmin reported that both tbench and hackbench were significantly hurt by trying to keep tasks local on these domains, esp on small cache machines. So disable it in order to promote spreading outside of the cache domains.
