2009-11-03x86/hw-breakpoints: Actually flush thread breakpoints in flush_thread().Paul Mundt
flush_thread() tries to do a TIF_DEBUG check before calling in to flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() (which subsequently clears the thread flag), but for some reason, the x86 code is manually clearing TIF_DEBUG immediately before the test, so this path will never be taken. This kills off the erroneous clear_tsk_thread_flag() and lets flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() actually get invoked. Presumably folks were getting lucky with testing and the free_thread_info() -> free_thread_xstate() path was taking care of the flush there.

2009-10-14tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to coreFrederic Weisbecker
Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch. But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation. v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers, in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

2009-10-14function-graph/x86: Replace unbalanced ret with jmpSteven Rostedt
The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a hook to trace the exit of the function call. This hook will finish by returning to the real location the function should return to. But the current implementation uses a ret to jump to the real return location. This causes a imbalance between calls and ret. That is the original function does a call, the ret goes to the handler and then the handler does a ret without a matching call. Although the function graph tracer itself still breaks the branch predictor by replacing the original ret, by using a second ret and causing an imbalance, it breaks the predictor even more. This patch replaces the ret with a jmp to keep the calls and ret balanced. I tested this on one box and it showed a 1.7% increase in performance. Another box only showed a small 0.3% increase. But no box that I tested this on showed a decrease in performance by making this change.

The real bug producing LatencyTop latencies has been fixed in: f5dc375: sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected And the commit being reverted here triggers local timer processing from every device IRQ. If device IRQs come in at a high frequency, this could cause a performance regression. The commit being reverted here purely 'fixed' the reported latency as a side effect, because CPUs were being moved out of idle more often.

2009-10-09perf_events: Add event constraints support for Intel processorsStephane Eranian
On some Intel processors, not all events can be measured in all counters. Some events can only be measured in one particular counter, for instance. Assigning an event to the wrong counter does not crash the machine but this yields bogus counts, i.e., silent error. This patch changes the event to counter assignment logic to take into account event constraints for Intel P6, Core and Nehalem processors. There is no contraints on Intel Atom. There are constraints on Intel Yonah (Core Duo) but they are not provided in this patch given that this processor is not yet supported by perf_events. As a result of the constraints, it is possible for some event groups to never actually be loaded onto the PMU if they contain two events which can only be measured on a single counter. That situation can be detected with the scaling information extracted with read().

2009-10-08x86, timers: Check for pending timers after (device) interruptsArjan van de Ven
Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using iwlagn. It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible. The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that: 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up. I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec range.

2009-10-02x86: EDAC: MCE: Fix MCE decoding callback logicIngo Molnar
Make decoding of MCEs happen only on AMD hardware by registering a non-default callback only on CPU families which support it. While looking at the interaction of decode_mce() with the other MCE code i also noticed a few other things and made the following cleanups/fixes: - Fixed the mce_decode() weak alias - a weak alias is really not good here, it should be a proper callback. A weak alias will be overriden if a piece of code is built into the kernel - not good, obviously. - The patch initializes the callback on AMD family 10h and 11h. - Added the more correct fallback printk of: No support for human readable MCE decoding on this CPU type. Transcribe the message and run it through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode. On CPUs that dont have a decoder. - Made the surrounding code more readable. Note that the callback allows us to have a default fallback - without having to check the CPU versions during the printout itself. When an EDAC module registers itself, it can install the decode-print function.

2009-09-24x86: early_printk: Protect against using the same device twiceJason Wessel
If you use the kernel argument: earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 This will cause a recursive hang printing the same line again and again: BIOS-e820: 000000003fff3000 - 0000000040000000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) bootconsole [earlyser0] enabled Linux version 2.6.31-07863-gb64ada6 (mingo@sirius) (gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) (GCC) ) #16789 SMP Wed Sep 23 21:09:43 CEST 2009 Linux version 2.6.31-07863-gb64ada6 (mingo@sirius) (gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) (GCC) ) #16789 SMP Wed Sep 23 21:09:43 CEST 2009 Linux version 2.6.31-07863-gb64ada6 (mingo@sirius) (gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) (GCC) ) #16789 SMP Wed Sep 23 21:09:43 CEST 2009 Linux version 2.6.31-07863-gb64ada6 (mingo@sirius) (gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) (GCC) ) #16789 SMP Wed Sep 23 21:09:43 CEST 2009 Linux version 2.6.31-07863-gb64ada6 (mingo@sirius) (gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) (GCC) ) #16789 SMP Wed Sep 23 21:09:43 CEST 2009 Instead warn the end user that they specified the device a second time, and ignore that second console.

2009-09-24x86: Reduce verbosity of "TSC is reliable" messageRoland Dreier
On modern systems, the kernel prints the message Skipping synchronization checks as TSC is reliable. once for every non-boot CPU. This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a 64-thread system I was lucky enough to get: $ dmesg | grep 'TSC is reliable' | wc 63 567 4221 There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is just checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a printk_once() to make the message appears only once.

2009-09-24cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapper: x86Rusty Russell
Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask (to be a pointer). It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer (the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
