Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself)
and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling
debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the
issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under
gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next
reboot.
The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a
process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the
performance forever.

When we set the MFGPT timer tick, there is a chance that we'll
immediately assert an event. If for some reason the IRQ routing
for this clock has been setup for some other purpose, then we
could end up firing an interrupt into the SMM handler or worse.
This rearranges the timer tick init function to initalize the handler
before we set up the MFGPT clock to make sure that even if we get
an event, it will go to the handler.
Furthermore, in the handler we need to make sure that we clear the
event, even if the timer isn't running.

to incorrect reading of the PCI clock frequency on big-endian

The compiler team did the hard work for this distilling a problem in
large fortran application which showed up when applied to a 290MB input
data set down to this instruction:
ldfd f34=[r17],-8
Which they noticed incremented r17 by 0x10 rather than decrementing it
by 8 when the value in r17 caused an unaligned data fault. I tracked
it down to some bad instruction decoding in unaligned.c. The code
assumes that the 'x' bit can determine whether the instruction is
an "ldf" or "ldfp" ... which it is for opcode=6 (see table 4-29 on
page 3:302 of the SDM). But for opcode=7 the 'x' bit is irrelevent,
all variants are "ldf" instructions (see table 4-36 on page 3:306).
Note also that interpreting the instruction as "ldfp" means that the
"paired" floating point register (f35 in the example here) will also
be corrupted.

This patch restores the blackfin Hardware Performance Monitor Profiling
support that was killed by the combining of instrumentation menus in
commit 09cadedbdc.
Since there seems to be no good reason to behave differently from other
architectures, it now automatically selects the hardware performance
counters whenever the profiling is activated.
mach-common/irqpanic.c: pm_overflow calls pm_overflow_handler which is
in oprofile/op_model_bf533.c. I doubt that setting HARDWARE_PM as "m"
will work at all, since the pm_overflow_handler should be in the core
kernel image because it is called by irqpanic.c.
Therefore, I change HARDWARE_PM from a tristate to a bool.
The whole arch/$(ARCH)/oprofile/ is built depending on CONFIG_OPROFILE. Since
part of the HARDWARE_PM support files sits in this directory, it makes sense to
also depend on OPROFILE, not only PROFILING. Since OPROFILE already depends on
PROFILING, it is correct to only depend on OPROFILE only.

Commit 09cadedbdc ("Combine

profiling support, since ARM has some extra Kconfig options and doesn't
just use the common OPROFILE/KPROBES config options.
Rather than just revert the thing outright, or add ARM-specific
knowledge to the generic Kconfig.instrumentation file (where the only
and whole point was to be generic, not too architecture-specific), this
just makes ARM not use the generic version, since it doesn't suit it.
So create an arm-specific version of Kconfig.instrumentation instead,
and use that.

Denys Fedoryshchenko reported a bootup crash when he upgraded
his system from 3GB to 4GB RAM:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/7/9
the bug is due to HIGHMEM4G && SPARSEMEM kernels making pfn_to_page()
to return an invalid pointer when the pfn is in a memory hole. The
256 MB PCI aperture at the end of RAM was not mapped by sparsemem,
and hence the pfn was not valid. But set_highmem_pages_init() iterated
this range without checking the pfn's validity first.
this bug was probably present in the sparsemem code ever since sparsemem
has been introduced in v2.6.13. It was masked due to HIGHMEM64G using
larger memory regions in sparsemem_32.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30
#define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS 36
#define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS 36
#else
#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 26
#define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS 32
#define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS 32
#endif
which creates 1GB sparsemem regions instead of 64MB sparsemem regions.
So in practice we only ever created true sparsemem holes on x86 with
HIGHMEM4G - but that was rarely used by distros.
( btw., we could probably save 2MB of mem_map[]s on X86_PAE if we reduced
the sparsemem region size to 256 MB. )

Commit 473980a993 added a call to clear
the SLB shadow buffer before registering it. Unfortunately this means
that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in
there. On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing
partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch,
each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data,
which causes it to crash.
This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the
3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize. This fixes the problem that
473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

a dma_addr_t that is only 4k aligned.
This works fine in most cases except for some infiniband HW it seems,
where they tell the HW about the page size and it ignores the low bits
of the DMA address.
This works around it by making our IOMMU code enforce a PAGE_SIZE alignment
for mappings of objects that are page aligned in the first place and whose
size is larger or equal to a page.

Sometimes cpu_idle_wait gets stuck because it might miss CPUS that are
already in idle, have no tasks waiting to run and have no interrupts going
to them. This is common on bootup when switching cpu idle governors.
This patch gives those CPUS that don't check in an IPI kick.
Background:
-----------
I notice this while developing the mcount patches, that every once in a
while the system would hang. Looking deeper, the hang was always at boot
up when registering init_menu of the cpu_idle menu governor. Talking
with Thomas Gliexner, we discovered that one of the CPUS had no timer
events scheduled for it and it was in idle (running with NO_HZ). So the
CPU would not set the cpu_idle_state bit.
Hitting sysrq-t a few times would eventually route the interrupt to the
stuck CPU and the system would continue.
Note, I would have used the PDA isidle but that is set after the
cpu_idle_state bit is cleared, and would leave a window open where we
may miss being kicked.
hmm, looking closer at this, we still have a small race window between
clearing the cpu_idle_state and disabling interrupts (hence the RFC).
CPU0: CPU 1:
--------- ---------
cpu_idle_wait(): cpu_idle():
| __cpu_cpu_var(is_idle) = 1;
| if (__get_cpu_var(cpu_idle_state)) /* == 0 */
per_cpu(cpu_idle_state, 1) = 1; |
if (per_cpu(is_idle, 1)) /* == 1 */ |
smp_call_function(1) |
| receives ipi and runs do_nothing.
wait on map == empty idle();
/* waits forever */
So really we need interrupts off for most of this then. One might think
that we could simply clear the cpu_idle_state from do_nothing, but I'm
assuming that cpu_idle governors can be removed, and this might cause a
race that a governor might be used after the module was removed.
Venki said:
I think your RFC patch is the right solution here. As I see it, there is
no race with your RFC patch. As long as you call a dummy smp_call_function
on all CPUs, we should be OK. We can get rid of cpu_idle_state and the
current wait forever logic altogether with dummy smp_call_function. And so
there wont be any wait forever scenario.
The whole point of cpu_idle_wait() is to make all CPUs come out of idle
loop atleast once. The caller will use cpu_idle_wait something like this.
// Want to change idle handler
- Switch global idle handler to always present default_idle
- call cpu_idle_wait so that all cpus come out of idle for an instant
and stop using old idle pointer and start using default idle
- Change the idle handler to a new handler
- optional cpu_idle_wait if you want all cpus to start using the new
handler immediately.
Maybe the below 1s patch is safe bet for .24. But for .25, I would say we
just replace all complicated logic by simple dummy smp_call_function and
remove cpu_idle_state altogether.
