Andi Kleen 914a76ca5e oprofile, x86: Allow setting EDGE/INV/CMASK for counter events
For some performance events it's useful to set the EDGE and INV
bits and the CMASK mask in the counter control register. The list
of predefined events Intel releases for each CPU has some events which
require these settings to get more "natural" to use higher level events.

oprofile currently doesn't allow this.

This patch adds new extra configuration fields for them, so that
they can be specified in oprofilefs.

An updated oprofile daemon can then make use of this to set them.

v2: Write back masked extra value to variable.

Rafael J. Wysocki f3c6ea1b06 x86: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev classes and sysdevs
Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and
shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and
they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this
purpose.  This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive
memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for
this purpose instead.

Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use
sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose
suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the
majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their
struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that,
because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler
way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks
use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument
is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c).  In all
of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to
using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown.

Namhyung Kim e8e999cf3c x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is available
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.

Commit 9c0729dc80 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.

This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

End result looks like below:

Fix a bunch of
	warning: ‘inline’ is not at beginning of declaration
messages when building a 'make allyesconfig' kernel with -Wextra.

These warnings are trivial to kill, yet rather annoying when building with
-Wextra.
The more we can cut down on pointless crap like this the better (IMHO).

A previous patch to do this for a 'allnoconfig' build has already been
merged. This just takes the cleanup a little further.

Don Zickus c410b83077 x86, NMI: Remove DIE_NMI_IPI
With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between
DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI.

This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit.  Instead of calling the
die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before
the if-statement.  This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport
to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent)
internal NMIs are dealt with.

Don Zickus 166d751479 x86, NMI: Add priorities to handlers
In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities
for the die notifiers.

I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the
notifier blocks.  Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created
priorities.

Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the
event DIE_NMI_IPI.

Replace all uses of current_cpu_data with this_cpu operations on the

matching this_cpu ops which results in smaller and more efficient

In the long run, it might be a good idea to remove cpu_data() macro
too and use per_cpu macro directly.

Don Zickus 4a7863cc2e x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a
local implementation to the global one provide by
kernel/watchdog.c.  This shift has caused a whole bunch of
compile problems under different config options.  I attempt to
simplify things with the patch below.

In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the
meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.  Basically they mean the same thing,
the former on a local level and the latter on a global level.

With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on
defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't
make sense any more.  x86 will now use the global
implementation.

The changes below do a few things.  First it changes the few
places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter
anyway, so nothing unusual here).  Those pieces of code were
relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog
functionality, so the change should make sense.

Second, I removed the x86 implementation of
touch_nmi_watchdog().  It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely
on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation.

Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from
x86.  And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to
look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This
changes removes some of the ugliness in that file.

Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.  You can
only have one nmi_watchdog.

Tested with
ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken
configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig,
(various broken configs)

Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken
emails. :-)

v3:
  changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function
  prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

Soeren Sandmann Pedersen 9c0729dc80 x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines
The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:

(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task

In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0.  If it _is_ defined, then

- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs,

- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
  dump_trace(),

- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs.

Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.

This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic

is forever gone, remove all its fingers.

Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of
nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to
risky here.

Ingo Molnar 2c78ffeca9 x86/oprofile: Fix uninitialized variable use in debug printk
Stephen Rothwell reported this build warning:

  arch/x86/oprofile/op_model_amd.c:289: warning: 'offset' may be used uninitialized in this function

And correctly observed that indeed the variable is used uninitialized in
this function. The result of this bug can be a debug printk with a bogus
value.

Also fix a few more small details that made this function hard to read
and which probably contributed to the bug being introduced to begin with:

 - Use more symmetric error conditions

 - Remove the !0 obfuscation

Robert Richter 27afdf2008 apic, x86: Use BIOS settings for IBS and MCE threshold interrupt LVT offsets
We want the BIOS to setup the EILVT APIC registers. The offsets
were hardcoded and BIOS settings were overwritten by the OS.
Now, the subsystems for MCE threshold and IBS determine the LVT
offset from the registers the BIOS has setup. If the BIOS setup
is buggy on a family 10h system, a workaround enables IBS. If
the OS determines an invalid register setup, a "[Firmware Bug]:
" error message is reported.

We need this change also for upcomming cpu families.

Robert Richter 25da695047 oprofile, x86: Add support for IBS branch target address reporting
This patch adds support for IBS branch target address reporting. A new
MSR (MSRC001_103B IBS Branch Target Address) has been added that
provides the logical address in canonical form for the branch
target. The size of the IBS sample that is transferred to the userland
has been increased.

For backward compatibility, the userland daemon must explicit enable
the feature by writing to the oprofilefs file

 ibs_op/branch_target

After enabling branch target address reporting, the userland daemon
must handle the extended size of the IBS sample.

Current IBS code is not hotplug capable. An offline cpu might not be
initialized or deinitialized properly. This patch fixes this by
removing on_each_cpu() functions. The IBS init/deinit code is executed
in the per-cpu functions model->setup_ctrs() and model->cpu_down()
which are also called by hotplug notifiers. model->cpu_down() replaces
model->exit() that became obsolete.

Robert Richter 6ae56b55bc oprofile/x86: protect cpu hotplug sections
This patch reworks oprofile cpu hotplug code as follows:

Introduce ctr_running variable to check, if counters are running or
not. The state must be known for taking a cpu on or offline and when
switching counters during counter multiplexing.

Protect on_each_cpu() sections with get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpu()
functions. This is necessary if notifiers or states are
modified. Within these sections the cpu mask may not change.

Switch only between counters in nmi_cpu_switch(), if counters are
running. Otherwise the switch may restart a counter though they are
disabled.

Add nmi_cpu_setup() and nmi_cpu_shutdown() to cpu hotplug code. The
function must also be called to avoid uninitialzed counter usage.

Robert Richter 2623a1d55a oprofile/x86: fix uninitialized counter usage during cpu hotplug
This fixes a NULL pointer dereference that is triggered when taking a
cpu offline after oprofile was initialized, e.g.:

 $ opcontrol --init
 $ opcontrol --start-daemon
 $ opcontrol --shutdown
 $ opcontrol --deinit
 $ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

See the crash dump below. Though the counter has been disabled the cpu
notifier is still active and trying to use already freed counter data.

This fix is for linux-stable. To proper fix this, the hotplug code
must be rewritten. Thus I will leave a WARN_ON_ONCE() message with
this patch.

Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity
such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance
counter. There is a warning in the code for this case.

The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't
collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your
platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the
desired event by editing the

 /usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events

file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact
your hardware or BIOS vendor.

Robert Richter ba52078e19 oprofile/x86: implement randomization for IBS periodic op counter
IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting
either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be
produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic
op counter value with each sample.

This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op
counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are
randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value.

There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then
the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized
in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the
maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt).

The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for
pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory
system.

Suravee Suthikulpanit f125be1469 oprofile/x86: implement lsfr pseudo-random number generator for IBS
This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for
pseudo-random number generation for IBS.

For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in
the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data
caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs.

The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low
overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and
it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short
cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior.

The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

Robert Richter 64683da664 oprofile/x86: implement IBS cpuid feature detection
This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS
capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The
bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX),
but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS.

The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic
op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature
(ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is
available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles.

In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by
checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the
feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending
on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current
opcontrol is compatible.

Robert Richter 89baaaa98a oprofile/x86: remove node check in AMD IBS initialization
Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are
northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations
(especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number
is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not
reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is
better to remove the check.

Frederic Weisbecker 61c1917f47 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optional
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

only for multiplexing support.

Jason Yeh 4d4036e0e7 oprofile: Implement performance counter multiplexing
The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing feature
enables OProfile to gather more events than counters are provided by
the hardware. This is realized by switching between events at an user
specified time interval.

A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify
the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher
than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will
schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes
the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to
be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This
patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily
extended for other models and architectures.

There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.
