      kprobes/x86: Support kprobes jump optimization on x86 · c0f7ac3a
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      
Introduce x86 arch-specific optimization code, which supports
both of x86-32 and x86-64.

This code also supports safety checking, which decodes whole of
a function in which probe is inserted, and checks following
conditions before optimization:
 - The optimized instructions which will be replaced by a jump instruction
   don't straddle the function boundary.
 - There is no indirect jump instruction, because it will jumps into
   the address range which is replaced by jump operand.
 - There is no jump/loop instruction which jumps into the address range
   which is replaced by jump operand.
 - Don't optimize kprobes if it is in functions into which fixup code will
   jumps.

This uses text_poke_multibyte() which doesn't support modifying
code on NMI/MCE handler. However, since kprobes itself doesn't
support NMI/MCE code probing, it's not a problem.

Changes in v9:
 - Use *_text_reserved() for checking the probe can be optimized.
 - Verify jump address range is in 2G range when preparing slot.
 - Backup original code when switching optimized buffer, instead of
   preparing buffer, because there can be int3 of other probes in
   preparing phase.
 - Check kprobe is disabled in arch_check_optimized_kprobe().
 - Strictly check indirect jump opcodes (ff /4, ff /5).

Changes in v6:
 - Split stop_machine-based jump patching code.
 - Update comments and coding style.

Changes in v5:
 - Introduce stop_machine-based jump replacing.

      x86: Remove "x86 CPU features in debugfs" (CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG) · b1600918
      H. Peter Anvin authored 
      
CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86
CPU configuration via debugfs, has caused boot failures on real
hardware.  The value of this feature has been marginal at best, as all
this information is already available to userspace via generic
interfaces.

Causes crashes that have not been fixed + minimal utility -> remove.

See the referenced LKML thread for more information.

      hw-breakpoints: Fix hardware breakpoints -> perf events dependency · 99e8c5a3
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      
The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config
dependencies.

Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't
ensure perf can never be disabled under us.

We have:

config X86
	selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS

config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
	select PERF_EVENTS

config PERF_EVENTS
	[...]

x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf
events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is
necessary for the breakpoints.

What we need is:

 - x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS
 - HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS

so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86.

This fixes the following kind of build errors:

 In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31:
 include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr':

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      
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. )

      x86,percpu: use embedding for 64bit NUMA and page for 32bit NUMA · 4518e6a0
      Tejun Heo authored 
      
Embedding percpu first chunk allocator can now handle very sparse unit
mapping.  Use embedding allocator instead of lpage for 64bit NUMA.
This removes extra TLB pressure and the need to do complex and fragile
dancing when changing page attributes.

For 32bit, using very sparse unit mapping isn't a good idea because
the vmalloc space is very constrained.  32bit NUMA machines aren't
exactly the focus of optimization and it isn't very clear whether
lpage performs better than page.  Use page first chunk allocator for
32bit NUMAs.

As this leaves setup_pcpu_*() functions pretty much empty, fold them
into setup_per_cpu_areas().

      perf_counter, x86: Fix/improve apic fallback · 04da8a43
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      
Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based
laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default,
and hence perfcounters do not get initialized.

Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters
and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows
'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top'
and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling
method.

( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware
  sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled
  permanently by the hardware then this fallback still
  allows more systems to use perfcounters. )

Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC.

-v2: fix typo breaking counters on all other systems ...

      percpu: use dynamic percpu allocator as the default percpu allocator · e74e3962
      Tejun Heo authored 
      
This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator.  The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules.  This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.

s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes.  Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.

The following architectures are affected by this change.

* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)

As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs.  These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.

* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390

Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization).  Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.

Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc.  The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

[ Impact: use dynamic allocator for most archs w/o custom percpu setup ]

      function-graph: add stack frame test · 71e308a2
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.

An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.

This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.

There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.

This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.

This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.

Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.
