HW breakpoints events stopped working correctly with kgdb
as a result of commit: 018cbffe68
(Merge commit 'v2.6.33' into perf/core).
The regression occurred because the behavior changed for setting
NOTIFY_STOP as the return value to the die notifier if the breakpoint
was known to the HW breakpoint API. Because kgdb is using the HW
breakpoint API to register HW breakpoints slots, it must also now
implement the overflow_handler call back else kgdb does not get to see
the events from the die notifier.
The kgdb_ll_trap function will be changed to be general purpose code
which can allow an easy way to implement the hw_breakpoint API
overflow call back.

Errata are defined using the AMD_LEGACY_ERRATUM() or AMD_OSVW_ERRATUM()
macros. The latter is intended for newer errata that have an OSVW id
assigned, which it takes as first argument. Both take a variable number
of family-specific model-stepping ranges created by AMD_MODEL_RANGE().
Iff an erratum has an OSVW id, OSVW is available on the CPU, and the
OSVW id is known to the hardware, it is used to determine whether an
erratum is present. Otherwise, the model-stepping ranges are matched
against the current CPU to find out whether the erratum applies.
For certain special errata, the code using this framework might have to
conduct further checks to make sure an erratum is really (not) present.

Due to vtime calling vgettimeofday(), its possible that an application
could call time();create("stuff",O_RDRW); only to see the file's
creation timestamp to be before the value returned by time.
A similar way to reproduce the issue is to compare the vsyscall time()
with the syscall time(), and observe ordering issues.
The modified test case from Oleg Nesterov below can illustrate this:
int main(void)
{
time_t sec1,sec2;
do {
sec1 = time(&sec2);
sec2 = syscall(__NR_time, NULL);
} while (sec1 <= sec2);
printf("vtime: %d.000000\n", sec1);
printf("time: %d.000000\n", sec2);
return 0;
}
The proper fix is to make vtime use the same time value as
current_kernel_time() (which is exported via update_vsyscall) instead of
vgettime().

The PCC cpufreq driver unmaps the mailbox address range if any CPUs fail to
initialise, but doesn't do anything to remove the registered CPUs from the
cpufreq core resulting in failures further down the line. We're better off
simply returning a failure - the cpufreq core will unregister us cleanly if
we end up with no successfully registered CPUs. Tidy up the failure path
and also add a sanity check to ensure that the firmware gives us a realistic
frequency - the core deals badly with that being set to 0.

The pcc specification documents an _OSC method that's incompatible with the
one defined as part of the ACPI spec. This shouldn't be a problem as both
are supposed to be guarded with a UUID. Unfortunately approximately nobody
(including HP, who wrote this spec) properly check the UUID on entry to the
_OSC call. Right now this could result in surprising behaviour if the pcc
driver performs an _OSC call on a machine that doesn't implement the pcc
specification. Check whether the PCCH method exists first in order to reduce
this probability.

need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work. To allow
the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area

alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal

Set the callback to receive evtchns from Xen, using the

The traditional way for receiving event channel notifications from Xen
is via the interrupts from the platform PCI device.
The callback vector is a newer alternative that allow us to receive
notifications on any vcpu and doesn't need any PCI support: we allocate
a vector exclusively to receive events, in the vector handler we don't
need to interact with the vlapic, therefore we avoid a VMEXIT.

and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.
trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric
way in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
-> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
notifier is triggered.
This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq
drivers.
trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly
when the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores'
frequency depend on each other.
-> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
which gets switched automatically fixes this.
Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my
initial quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
- Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
- Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
- Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id

In the CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL fast-path for x86 64-bit system calls,
we can pass a bad return value and/or error indication for the
system call to audit_syscall_exit(). This happens when
TIF_NEED_RESCHED was set as the system call returned, so we went
out to schedule() and came back to the exit-audit fast-path. The
fix is to reload the user return value register from the pt_regs
before using it for audit_syscall_exit().
Both the 32-bit kernel's fast path and the 64-bit kernel's 32-bit
system call fast paths work slightly differently, so that they
always leave the fast path entirely to reschedule and don't return
there, so they don't have the analogous bugs.

xstate_enable_boot_cpu() is, as the name implies, only used on the
boot CPU; furthermore, it invokes alloc_bootmem(), which is __init;
hence it needs to be tagged __init rather than __cpuinit.
Furthermore, it is *not* safe in the long run to rely on CPU 0 only
coming online during the early boot -- at some point we're going to
support offlining (and re-onlining) the boot CPU, and at that point we
must not call xstate_enable_boot_cpu() again.
The code is a fair bit more obscure than one would like, because the
__ref overrides aren't quite powerful enough.

UV NMI callback's should not write stack dumps when a kdump is to be written.
When invoking the crash kernel to write a dump, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
uses NMI's to get all the cpu's to save their register context and halt.
But the NMI interrupt handler runs a callback list. This patch sets a flag
to prevent any of those callbacks from interfering with the halt of the cpu.
For UV, which currently has the only callback to which this is relevant, the
uv_handle_nmi() callback should not do dumping of stacks.
The 'in_crash_kexec' flag is defined as an extern in kdebug.h firstly
because x2apic_uv_x.c includes it. Secondly because some future callback
might need the flag to know that it should not enter the debugger.
(Such a scenario was in fact present in the 2.6.32 kernel, SuSE distribution,
where a call to kdb needed to be avoided.)

Commit e534c7c5f8 ("numa: x86_64: use generic percpu var

on node0 when MEMORY_HOTPLUG is enabled, because cpu_up() will call
cpu_to_node() before per_cpu(numa_node) is setup for APs.
When Node0 doesn't have RAM, on x86, cpus already round it to nearest
node with RAM in x86_cpu_to_node_map. and per_cpu(numa_node) is not set
up until in c_init for APs.
When later cpu_up() calling cpu_to_node() will get 0 again, and make it
online even there is no RAM on node0. so later all APs can not booted up,
and later will have panic.

Found one x2apic system kexec loop test failed
when CONFIG_NMI_WATCHDOG=y (old) or CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y (current tip)
first kernel can kexec second kernel, but second kernel can not kexec third one.
it can be duplicated on another system with BIOS preenabled x2apic.
First kernel can not kexec second kernel.
It turns out, when kernel boot with pre-enabled x2apic, it will not execute
disable_local_APIC on shutdown path.
when init_apic_mappings() is called in setup_arch, it will skip setting of
apic_phys when x2apic_mode is set. ( x2apic_mode is much early check_x2apic())
Then later, disable_local_APIC() will bail out early because !apic_phys.
So check !x2apic_mode in x2apic_mode in disable_local_APIC with !apic_phys.
another solution could be updating init_apic_mappings() to set apic_phys even
for preenabled x2apic system. Actually even for x2apic system, that lapic
address is mapped already in early stage.
BTW: is there any x2apic preenabled system with apicid of boot cpu > 255?

doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to

rbtree: Undo augmented trees performance damage and regression
x86, Calgary: Limit the max PHB number to 256
fxsave/xsave doesn't touch all the bytes in the memory layout used by
these instructions. Specifically SW reserved (bytes 464..511) fields
in the fxsave frame and the reserved fields in the xsave header.
To present a clean context for the signal handling, just clear these fields
instead of clearing the complete fxsave/xsave memory layout, when we dump these
registers directly to the user signal frame.
Also avoid the call to second xrstor (which inits the state not passed
in the signal frame) in restore_user_xstate() if all the state has already
been restored by the first xrstor.
These changes improve the performance of signal handling(by ~3-5% as measured
by the lat_sig).

To support cache events we have reserved the low 6 bits in
hw_perf_event::config (which is a part of CCCR register
configuration actually).
These bits represent Replay Event mertic enumerated in
enum P4_PEBS_METRIC. The caller should not care about
which exact bits should be set and how -- the caller
just chooses one P4_PEBS_METRIC entity and puts it into
the config. The kernel will track it and set appropriate
additional MSR registers (metrics) when needed.
The reason for this redesign was the PEBS enable bit, which
should not be set until DS (and PEBS sampling) support will
be implemented properly.
TODO
====
- PEBS sampling (note it's tricky and works with _one_ counter only
so for HT machines it will be not that easy to handle both threads)
- tracking of PEBS registers state, a user might need to turn
PEBS off completely (ie no PEBS enable, no UOP_tag) but some
other event may need it, such events clashes and should not
run simultaneously, at moment we just don't support such events
- eventually export user space bits in separate header which will
allow user apps to configure raw events more conveniently.

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.

Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
attribute.
Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
recognize the "ret" instruction.
These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.

Instruction breakpoints trigger before the instruction executes,
and returning back from the breakpoint handler brings us again
to the instruction that breakpointed. This naturally bring to
a breakpoint recursion.
To solve this, x86 has the Resume Bit trick. When the cpu flags
have the RF flag set, the next instruction won't trigger any
instruction breakpoint, and once this instruction is executed,
RF is cleared back.
This let's us jump back to the instruction that triggered the
breakpoint without recursion.
Use this when an instruction breakpoint triggers.

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.
This fixes an off by one bug in sfi.c:

Make the Broadcast Assist Unit driver use the BAU for TLB
shootdowns of cpu's on the local uvhub.
It was previously thought that IPI might be faster to the cpu's
on the local hub. But the IPI operation would have to follow
the completion of the BAU broadcast anyway. So we broadcast to
the local uvhub in all cases except when the current cpu was the
only local cpu in the mask.
This simplifies uv_flush_send_and_wait() in that it returns
either all shootdowns complete, or none.
Adjust the statistics to account for shootdowns on the local
uvhub.

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.

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.
This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

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.

The low-memory corruption checker triggers during suspend/resume, so we
need to reserve the low 64k. Don't be fooled that the BIOS identifies
itself as "Dell Inc.", it's still Phoenix BIOS.
[ hpa: I think we blacklist almost every BIOS in existence. We should
either change this to a whitelist or just make it unconditional. ]

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.
