nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

sched/idle: Optimize the generic idle loop

2016-06-03T07:18:56+00:00

Currently, smp_processor_id() is used to fetch the current CPU in
cpu_idle_loop(). Every time the idle thread runs, it fetches the
current CPU using smp_processor_id().

Since the idle thread is per CPU, the current CPU is constant, so we
can lift the load out of the loop, saving execution cycles/time in the
loop.

x86-64:

Before patch (execution in loop):
	148:    0f ae e8                lfence
	14b:    65 8b 04 25 00 00 00 00 mov %gs:0x0,%eax

ARM64:

	168:    d5033d9f        dsb     ld
	16c:    b9405661        ldr     w1,[x19,#84]

	1b4:    54000ea0        b.eq    388

Further observance on ARM64 for 4 seconds shows that cpu_idle_loop is
called 8672 times. Shifting the code will save instructions executed
in loop and eventually time as well.

cpuidle: Do not access cpuidle_devices when !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE

2016-06-02T21:05:27+00:00

The cpuidle_devices per-CPU variable is only defined when CPU_IDLE is
enabled. Commit c8cc7d4de7a4 ("sched/idle: Reorganize the idle loop")
removed the #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_IDLE around cpuidle_idle_call() with the
compiler optimising away __this_cpu_read(cpuidle_devices). However, with
CONFIG_UBSAN && !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE, this optimisation no longer happens
and the kernel fails to link since cpuidle_devices is not defined.

This patch introduces an accessor function for the current CPU cpuidle
device (returning NULL when !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE) and uses it in
cpuidle_idle_call().

Let the upcoming cpu kick the hotplug thread and let itself complete the
bringup. That way the controll side can just wait for the completion or later
when we made the hotplug machinery async not care at all.

cpuidle: fix fallback mechanism for suspend to idle in absence of enter_freeze

2016-01-22T01:35:49+00:00

Commit 51164251f5c3 "sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback
from call_cpuidle()" made find_deepest_state() return non-negative
value and check all the states with index > 0.  Also as a result,
find_deepest_state() returns 0 even when enter_freeze callbacks are not
implemented and enter_freeze_proper() is called which ends up crashing
the kernel.

This patch updates the check for index > 0 in cpuidle_enter_freeze and
cpuidle_idle_call(when idle_should_freeze is true) to restore the
suspend-to-idle functionality in absence of enter_freeze callback.

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates
  and some new material as well.

  From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver
  core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over
  system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended
  already beforehand.  Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
  revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of
  the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the
  didn't make it before (due to timing).

  A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
  menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
  drivers depending on it.

  Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.

  Specifics:

   - Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices
     to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have
     been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top
     of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20160108, including updates of
     the ACPICA's copyright notices, a code fixup resulting from a
     regression fix that was necessary in the upstream code only (the
     regression fixed by it has never been present in Linux) and a
     compiler warning fix (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

   - Fix a recent regression in the cpuidle menu governor that broke it
     on practically all architectures other than x86 and make a couple
     of optimizations on top of that fix (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the selection of cpuidle governors depending on whether or
     not the kernel is configured for tickless systems (Jean Delvare).

   - Revert a recent commit that introduced a regression in the ACPI
     backlight driver, address the problem it attempted to fix in a
     different way and revert one more cosmetic change depending on the
     problematic commit (Hans de Goede).

   - Add two more ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede).

   - Fix a few minor problems in the core devfreq code, clean it up a
     bit and update the MAINTAINERS information related to it (Chanwoo
     Choi, MyungJoo Ham).

   - Improve an error message in the ACPI fan driver (Andy Lutomirski).

   - Fix a recent build regression in the cpupower tool (Shreyas
     Prabhu)"
