2010-03-01KVM: Add cpuid_update() callback to kvm_x86_opsSheng Yang
Sometime, we need to adjust some state in order to reflect guest CPUID setting, e.g. if we don't expose rdtscp to guest, we won't want to enable it on hardware. cpuid_update() is introduced for this purpose. Also export kvm_find_cpuid_entry() for later use. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-03-01x86: Raise vsyscall priority on hotplug notifier chainSheng Yang
KVM need vsyscall_init() to initialize MSR_TSC_AUX before it read the value. Per Avi's suggestion, this patch raised vsyscall priority on hotplug notifier chain, to 30.

2010-03-01KVM: Extended shared_msr_global to per CPUSheng Yang
shared_msr_global saved host value of relevant MSRs, but it have an assumption that all MSRs it tracked shared the value across the different CPUs. It's not true with some MSRs, e.g. MSR_TSC_AUX. Extend it to per CPU to provide the support of MSR_TSC_AUX, and more alike MSRs. Notice now the shared_msr_global still have one assumption: it can only deal with the MSRs that won't change in host after KVM module loaded.

2010-03-01KVM: VMX: Fold ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() into its callerAvi Kivity
ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() accesses vcpu->arch.cr4 directly, which usually needs to be accessed via kvm_read_cr4(). In this case, we can't, since cr4 is in the process of being updated. Instead of adding inane comments, fold the function into its caller (vmx_set_cr4), so it can use the not-yet-committed cr4 directly. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-03-01KVM: VMX: When using ept, allow the guest to own cr4.pgeAvi Kivity
We make no use of cr4.pge if ept is enabled, but the guest does (to flush global mappings, as with vmap()), so give the guest ownership of this bit. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-03-01KVM: VMX: Make guest cr4 mask more conservativeAvi Kivity
Instead of specifying the bits which we want to trap on, specify the bits which we allow the guest to change transparently. This is safer wrt future changes to cr4. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-03-01KVM: Add accessor for reading cr4 (or some bits of cr4)Avi Kivity
Some bits of cr4 can be owned by the guest on vmx, so when we read them, we copy them to the vcpu structure. In preparation for making the set of guest-owned bits dynamic, use helpers to access these bits so we don't need to know where the bit resides. No changes to svm since all bits are host-owned there.

2010-03-01KVM: VMX: Trap and invalid MWAIT/MONITOR instructionSheng Yang

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.

2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement randomization for IBS periodic op counterRobert Richter
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. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement lsfr pseudo-random number generator for IBSSuravee Suthikulpanit
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.

2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement IBS cpuid feature detectionRobert Richter
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. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-02-26oprofile/x86: remove node check in AMD IBS initializationRobert Richter
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.

2010-02-26perf_events, x86: AMD event schedulingStephane Eranian
This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling. NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to those counters needs to be synchronized. We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint structure.

2010-02-26perf_events: Add new start/stop PMU callbacksStephane Eranian
In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due to competion between cores. This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed until perf_enable()).
