2009-02-09perf_counters: account NMI interruptsMike Galbraith
I noticed that kerneltop interrupts were accounted as NMI, but not their perf counter origin. Account NMI performance counter interrupts.

2009-02-09perf_counters: make software counters work as per-cpu countersPaul Mackerras
Impact: kernel crash fix Yanmin Zhang reported that using a PERF_COUNT_TASK_CLOCK software counter as a per-cpu counter would reliably crash the system, because it calls __task_delta_exec with a null pointer. The page fault, context switch and cpu migration counters also won't function correctly as per-cpu counters since they reference the current task. This fixes the problem by redirecting the task_clock counter to the cpu_clock counter when used as a per-cpu counter, and by implementing per-cpu page fault, context switch and cpu migration counters. Along the way, this: - Initializes counter->ctx earlier, in perf_counter_alloc, so that sw_perf_counter_init can use it - Adds code to kernel/sched.c to count task migrations into each cpu, in rq->nr_migrations_in - Exports the per-cpu context switch and task migration counts via new functions added to kernel/sched.c - Makes sure that if sw_perf_counter_init fails, we don't try to initialize the counter as a hardware counter. Since the user has passed a negative, non-raw event type, they clearly don't intend for it to be interpreted as a hardware event.

2009-02-05perfcounters: fix "perf counters kills oprofile" bug, v2Ingo Molnar
Impact: fix kernel crash Both oprofile and perfcounters register an NMI die handler, but only one can handle the NMI. Conveniently, oprofile unregisters it's notifier when not actively in use, so setting it's notifier priority higher than perfcounter's allows oprofile to borrow the NMI for the duration of it's run. Tested/works both as module and built-in. While testing, I found that if kerneltop was generating NMIs at very high frequency, the kernel may panic when oprofile registered it's handler. This turned out to be because oprofile registers it's handler before reset_value has been allocated, so if an NMI comes in while it's still setting up, kabOom. Rather than try more invasive changes, I followed the lead of other places in op_model_ppro.c, and simply returned in that highly unlikely event.

2009-01-23perfcounters: throttle on too high IRQ ratesMike Galbraith
Starting kerneltop with only -c 100 seems to be a bad idea, it can easily lock the system due to perfcounter IRQ overload.

Impact: less contention when issuing invalidate IPI, cleanup Make x86_32 use the same tlb code as 64bit. The 64bit code uses multiple IPI vectors for tlb shootdown to reduce contention. This patch makes x86_32 allocate the same 8 IPIs as x86_64 and share the code paths. Note that the usage of asmlinkage is inconsistent for x86_32 and 64 and calls for further cleanup.

2009-01-21x86: uv cleanupTejun Heo
Impact: cleanup Make the following uv related cleanups. * collect visible uv related definitions and interfaces into uv/uv.h and use it. this cleans up the messy situation where on 64bit, uv is defined properly, on 32bit generic it's dummy and on the rest undefined. after this clean up, uv is defined on 64 and dummy on 32. * update uv_flush_tlb_others() such that it takes cpumask of to-be-flushed cpus as argument, instead of that minus self, and returns yet-to-be-flushed cpumask, instead of modifying the passed in parameter. this interface change will ease dummy implementation of uv_flush_tlb_others() and makes uv tlb flush related stuff defined in tlb_uv proper.

2009-01-20x86: optimise x86's do_page_fault (C entry point for the page fault path)Nick Piggin
Impact: cleanup, restructure code to improve assembly gcc isn't _all_ that smart about spilling registers to stack or reusing stack slots, even with branch annotations. do_page_fault contained a lot of functionality, so split unlikely paths into their own functions, and mark them as noinline just to be sure. I consider this actually to be somewhat of a cleanup too: the main function now contains about half the number of lines so the normal path is easier to read, while the error cases are also nicely split away. Also, ensure the order of arguments to functions is always the same: regs, addr, error_code. This can reduce code size a tiny bit, and just looks neater too. And add a couple of branch annotations. Before: do_page_fault: subq $360, %rsp #, After: do_page_fault: subq $56, %rsp #, bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 8/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 2222/-1680 (542) function old new delta __bad_area_nosemaphore - 506 +506 no_context - 474 +474 vmalloc_fault - 424 +424 spurious_fault - 358 +358 mm_fault_error - 272 +272 bad_area_access_error - 89 +89 bad_area - 89 +89 bad_area_nosemaphore - 10 +10 do_page_fault 2464 784 -1680 Yes, the total size increases by 542 bytes, due to the extra function calls. But these will very rarely be called (except for vmalloc_fault) in a normal workload. Importantly, do_page_fault is less than 1/3rd it's original size, and touches far less stack. Existing gotos and branch hints did move a lot of the infrequently used text out of the fastpath, but that's even further improved after this patch.
