2010-02-01x86, mtrr: Constify struct mtrr_opsEmese Revfy
This is part of the ops structure constification effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al. Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy <re.emese@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <4B65D712.3080804@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: H.

2010-01-30perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debuggerJason Wessel
This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw breakpoint reservations. The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.

2010-01-30x86, hw_breakpoints, kgdb: Fix kgdb to use hw_breakpoint APIJason Wessel
In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the performance event counters. The hw_breakpoint_handler() now consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and deal with hw breakpoint reservations. The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw breakpoint while kgdb is active. During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available, on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint constraints will be dealt with in a future patch. While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint() to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints. The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but neither knows about future reservations for the available hw breakpoint slots.

2010-01-29x86, irq: Move __setup_vector_irq() before the first irq enable in cpu ↵Suresh Siddha
online path Lowest priority delivery of logical flat mode is broken on some systems, such that even when IO-APIC RTE says deliver the interrupt to a particular CPU, interrupt subsystem delivers the interrupt to totally different CPU. For example, this behavior was observed on a P4 based system with SiS chipset which was reported by Li Zefan. We have been handling this kind of behavior by making sure that in logical flat mode, we assign the same vector to irq mappings on all the 8 possible logical cpu's. But we have been doing this initial assignment (__setup_vector_irq()) a little late (before which interrupts were already enabled for a short duration). Move the __setup_vector_irq() before the first irq enable point in the cpu online path to avoid the issue of not handling some interrupts that wrongly hit the cpu which is still coming online.

2010-01-29x86, irq: Update the vector domain for legacy irqs handled by io-apicSuresh Siddha
In the recent change of not reserving IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all cpu's, we start with irq 0..15 getting directed to (and handled on) cpu-0. In the logical flat mode, once the AP's are online (and before irqbalance comes into picture), kernel intends to handle these IRQ's on any cpu (as the logical flat mode allows to specify multiple cpu's for the irq destination and the chipset based routing can deliver to the interrupt to any one of the specified cpu's). This was broken with our recent change, which was ending up using only cpu 0 as the destination, even when the kernel was specifying to use all online cpu's for the logical flat mode case. Fix this by updating vector allocation domain (cfg->domain) for legacy irqs, when the IO-APIC handles them.

2010-01-29perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event schedulingStephane Eranian
This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group. The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e., works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any counter. Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic. The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open(). The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

2010-01-28perf: Fix inconsistency between IP and callchain samplingAnton Blanchard
When running perf across all cpus with backtracing (-a -g), sometimes we get samples without associated backtraces: 23.44% init [kernel] [k] restore 11.46% init eeba0c [k] 0x00000000eeba0c 6.77% swapper [kernel] [k] .perf_ctx_adjust_freq 5.73% init [kernel] [k] .__trace_hcall_entry 4.69% perf libc-2.9.so [.] 0x0000000006bb8c | |--11.11%-- 0xfffa941bbbc It turns out the backtrace code has a check for the idle task and the IP sampling does not. This creates problems when profiling an interrupt heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload). Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never happen so remove that too. Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.

2010-01-22x86/amd-iommu: Fix deassignment of a device from the pt_domainJoerg Roedel
Deassigning a device from the passthrough domain does not work and breaks device assignment to kvm guests. This patch fixes the issue. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
2010-01-22x86/amd-iommu: Fix IOMMU-API initialization for iommu=ptJoerg Roedel
This patch moves the initialization of the iommu-api out of the dma-ops initialization code. This ensures that the iommu-api is initialized even with iommu=pt. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
2010-01-22x86/amd-iommu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __detach_device()Joerg Roedel
In the __detach_device function the reference count for a device-domain binding may become zero. This results in the device being removed from the domain and dev_data->domain will be NULL. This is bad because this pointer is dereferenced when trying to unlock the domain->lock. This patch fixes the issue by keeping the domain in a seperate variable.

2010-01-19x86, irq: Don't block IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all cpu'sSuresh Siddha
Currently IRQ0..IRQ15 are assigned to IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all the cpu's. If these IRQ's are handled by legacy pic controller, then the kernel handles them only on cpu 0. So there is no need to block this vector space on all cpu's. Similarly if these IRQ's are handled by IO-APIC, then the IRQ affinity will determine on which cpu's we need allocate the vector resource for that particular IRQ. This can be done dynamically and here also there is no need to block 16 vectors for IRQ0..IRQ15 on all cpu's. Fix this by initially assigning IRQ0..IRQ15 to IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's only on cpu 0. If the legacy controllers like pic handles these irq's, then this configuration will be fixed. If more modern controllers like IO-APIC handle these IRQ's, then we start with this configuration and as IRQ's migrate, vectors (/and cpu's) associated with these IRQ's change dynamically. This will freeup the block of 16 vectors on other cpu's which don't handle IRQ0..IRQ15, which can now be used for other IRQ's that the particular cpu handle.
