2009-11-26hw-breakpoints: Simplify error handling in breakpoint creation requestsFrederic Weisbecker
This simplifies the error handling when we create a breakpoint. We don't need to check the NULL return value corner case anymore since we have improved perf_event_create_kernel_counter() to always return an error code in the failure case.

2009-11-25x86: Rename global percpu symbol dr7 to cpu_dr7Tejun Heo
Percpu symbols now occupy the same namespace as other global symbols and as such short global symbols without subsystem prefix tend to collide with local variables. dr7 percpu variable used by x86 was hit by this. Rename it to cpu_dr7. The rename also makes it more consistent with its fellow cpu_debugreg percpu variable.

2009-11-24perf_events, x86: Fix validate_event bugStephane Eranian
The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and 0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function returns a negative value. Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups because the event->pmu was not set until after hw_perf_event_init().

This restores 64-bit behavior as it was prior to commits 8965eb19386fdf5ccd0ef8b02593eb8560aa3416 and 4a367f3a9dbf2e7ffcee4702203479809236ee6e (not sure why there are two of them), where GFP_DMA was forced on for 32-bit, but not for 64-bit, with the slight adjustment that afaict even 32-bit doesn't need this without CONFIG_ISA.

2009-11-08hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf eventsFrederic Weisbecker
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>

2009-11-03x86/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.

Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val which is the correct value. Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode and the bau will not operate.

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.

2009-10-13perf_events, x86: Fix event constraints codeIngo Molnar
There was namespace overlap due to a rename i did - this caused the following build warning, reported by Stephen Rothwell against linux-next x86_64 allmodconfig: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c: In function 'intel_get_event_idx': arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:1445: warning: 'event_constraint' is used uninitialized in this function This is a real bug not just a warning: fix it by renaming the global event-constraints table pointer to 'event_constraints'.

2009-10-12x86: fix kernel panic on 32 bits when profilingH. Peter Anvin
Latest kernel has a kernel panic in booting on i386 machine when profile=2 setting in cmdline. It is due to 'sp' being incorrect in profile_pc(). BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000246 IP: [<c01288b6>] profile_pc+0x2a/0x48 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP This differs from the original version by Alex Shi in that we use the kernel_stack_pointer() inline already defined in <asm/ptrace.h> for this purpose, instead of #ifdef.

2009-10-12x86: Move pci_iommu_init to rootfs_initcall()David Woodhouse
We want this to happen after the PCI quirks, which are now running at the very end of the fs_initcalls. This works around the BIOS problems which were originally addressed by commit db8be50c4307dac2b37305fc59c8dc0f978d09ea ('USB: Work around BIOS bugs by quiescing USB controllers earlier'), which was reverted in commit d93a8f829fe1d2f3002f2c6ddb553d12db420412.
