2010-02-11x86, ptrace: regset extensions to support xstateSuresh Siddha
Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc. This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure. Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or the state is not saved in the memory layout. And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented in the memory layout. First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0). The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.

2010-02-09x86, apic: Don't use logical-flat mode when CPU hotplug may exceed 8 CPUsSuresh Siddha
We need to fall back from logical-flat APIC mode to physical-flat mode when we have more than 8 CPUs. However, in the presence of CPU hotplug(with bios listing not enabled but possible cpus as disabled cpus in MADT), we have to consider the number of possible CPUs rather than the number of current CPUs; otherwise we may cross the 8-CPU boundary when CPUs are added later. 32bit apic code can use more cleanups (like the removal of vendor checks in 32bit default_setup_apic_routing()) and more unifications with 64bit code. Yinghai has some patches in works already. This patch addresses the boot issue that is reported in the virtualization guest context.

2010-02-08nmi_watchdog: Add new, generic implementation, using perf eventsDon Zickus
This is a new generic nmi_watchdog implementation using the perf events infrastructure as suggested by Ingo. The implementation is simple, just create an in-kernel perf event and register an overflow handler to check for cpu lockups. I created a generic implementation that lives in kernel/ and the hardware specific part that for now lives in arch/x86. This approach has a number of advantages: - It simplifies the x86 PMU implementation in the long run, in that it removes the hardcoded low-level PMU implementation that was the NMI watchdog before. - It allows new NMI watchdog features to be added in a central place. - It allows other architectures to enable the NMI watchdog, as long as they have perf events (that provide NMIs) implemented. - It also allows for more graceful co-existence of existing perf events apps and the NMI watchdog - before these changes the relationship was exclusive. (The NMI watchdog will 'spend' a perf event when enabled. In later iterations we might be able to piggyback from an existing NMI event without having to allocate a hardware event for the NMI watchdog - turning this into a no-hardware-cost feature.) As for compatibility, we'll keep the old NMI watchdog code as well until the new one can 100% replace it on all CPUs, old and new alike. That might take some time as the NMI watchdog has been ported to many CPU models. I have done light testing to make sure the framework works correctly and it does. v2: Set the correct timeout values based on the old nmi watchdog Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: gorcunov@gmail.com Cc: aris@redhat.com Cc: peterz@infradead.org LKML-Reference: <1265424425-31562-3-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-02-08x86: Move notify_die from nmi.c to traps.cDon Zickus
In order to handle a new nmi_watchdog approach, I need to move the notify_die() routine out of nmi_watchdog_tick() and into default_do_nmi(). This lets me easily swap out the old nmi_watchdog with the new one with just a config change. The change probably makes sense from a high level perspective because the nmi_watchdog shouldn't be handling notify_die routines anyway. However, this move does change the semantics a little bit. Instead of checking on every nmi interrupt if the cpus are stuck, only check them on the nmi_watchdog interrupts. v2: Move notify_die call into #idef block Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: gorcunov@gmail.com Cc: aris@redhat.com Cc: peterz@infradead.org LKML-Reference: <1265424425-31562-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2010-02-04perf_events, x86: Fix bug in hw_perf_enable()Stephane Eranian
We cannot assume that because hwc->idx == assign[i], we can avoid reprogramming the counter in hw_perf_enable(). The event may have been scheduled out and another event may have been programmed into this counter. Thus, we need a more robust way of verifying if the counter still contains config/data related to an event. This patch adds a generation number to each counter on each cpu. Using this mechanism we can verify reliabilty whether the content of a counter corresponds to an event.

2010-02-04ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functionsMasami Hiramatsu
Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, like kprobes. This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers should avoid those.

2010-02-04kprobes: Disable booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=yMasami Hiramatsu
Disable kprobe booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y at this time, because it can't ensure that all kernel threads preempted on kprobe's boosted slot run out from the slot even using freeze_processes(). The booster on preemptive kernel will be resumed if synchronize_tasks() or something like that is introduced.
