| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea with those routines is to slowly phase them out and not call them on anything else besides K8. They even have a check for that which, when called too early, fails. Let me explain: It gets the cpuinfo_x86 pointer from the per_cpu array and when this happens for cpu0, before its boot_cpu_data has been copied back to the per_cpu array in smp_store_boot_cpu_info(), we get an empty struct and thus the check fails. Use boot_cpu_data directly instead. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1365436666-9837-4-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de Signed-off-by: H.

Currently, the x86 code only updates the rtc if the system time is within +/-15 minutes of the current value of the rtc. This was done originally to avoid setting the RTC if the RTC was in localtime mode (common with Windows dualbooting). Other architectures do a full synchronization and now that we have better infrastructure to detect when the RTC is in localtime, there is no reason that x86 should be software limited to a 30 minute window. This patch changes the behavior of the kernel to do a full synchronization (year, month, day, hour, minute, and second) of the rtc when ntp requests a synchronization between the system time and the rtc. I've used the RTC library functions in this patchset as they do all the required bounds checking.

Iff that frame is in user mode as stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode. However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace. If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs). As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking state. To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame. (May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so, sorry for the missing credit).

Checks classified as msr_fail will cause check_hw_exists() to return false, causing the PMU not to be used; bios_fail checks will only cause a warning to be printed, but will return true. The problem is that if there are both msr failures and bios failures, and the routine hits a bios_fail check first, it will exit early and return true, not finishing the rest of the msr checks. If those msrs are in fact broken, it will cause them to be used erroneously. In the case of a Xen PV VM, the guest OS has read access to all the MSRs, but write access is white-listed to supported features. Writes to unsupported MSRs have no effect. The PMU MSRs are not (typically) supported, because they are expensive to save and restore on a VM context switch. One of the "msr_fail" checks is supposed to detect this circumstance (ether for Xen or KVM) and disable the harware PMU. However, on one of my AMD boxen, there is (apparently) a broken BIOS which triggers one of the bios_fail checks. In particular, MSR_K7_EVNTSEL0 has the ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_ENABLE bit set. The guest kernel detects this because it has read access to all MSRs, and causes it to skip the rest of the checks and try to use the non-existent hardware PMU. This minimally causes a lot of useless instruction emulation and Xen console spam; it may cause other issues with the watchdog as well. This changset causes check_hw_exists() to go through all of the msr checks, failing and returning false if any of them fail. This makes sure that a guest running under Xen without a virtual PMU will detect that there is no functioning PMU and not attempt to use it. This problem affects kernels as far back as 3.2, and should thus be considered for backport.

| * | | | | | | perf/x86: Add memory profiling via PEBS Load LatencyStephane Eranian2013-04-014-10/+177
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for memory profiling using the PEBS Load Latency facility. Load accesses are sampled by HW and the instruction address, data address, load latency, data source, tlb, locked information can be saved in the sampling buffer if using the PERF_SAMPLE_COST (for latency), PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC types. To enable PEBS Load Latency, users have to use the model specific event: - on NHM/WSM: MEM_INST_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD - on SNB/IVB: MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD To make things easier, this patch also exports a generic alias via sysfs: mem-loads. It export the right event encoding based on the host CPU and can be used directly by the perf tool. Loosely based on Intel's Lin Ming patch posted on LKML in July 2011.

It can be used to store event specific features which can then later be used by scheduling code or low-level x86 code. The flags are propagated into event->hw.flags during the get_event_constraint() call. They are cleared during the put_event_constraint() call. This mechanism is going to be used by the PEBS-LL patches. It avoids defining yet another table to hold event specific information.
