to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
"notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
down into the guts of suspend and resume

We get in to dimishing returns pretty quickly. On pre-IvyBridge
CPUs, we used to set the limit at 8 pages, and it was set at 128
on IvyBrige. That 128 number looks pretty silly considering that
less than 0.5% of the flushes are that large.
The previous code tried to size this number based on the size of
the TLB. Good idea, but it's error-prone, needs maintenance
(which it didn't get up to now), and probably would not matter in
practice much.
Settting it to 33 means that we cover the mallopt
M_TRIM_THRESHOLD, which is the most universally common size to do
flushes.
That's the short version. Here's the long one for why I chose 33:
1. These numbers have a constant bias in the timestamps from the
tracing. Probably counts for a couple hundred cycles in each of
these tests, but it should be fairly _even_ across all of them.
The smallest delta between the tracepoints I have ever seen is
335 cycles. This is one reason the cycles/page cost goes down in
general as the flushes get larger. The true cost is nearer to
100 cycles.
2. A full flush is more expensive than a single invlpg, but not
by much (single percentages).
3. A dtlb miss is 17.1ns (~45 cycles) and a itlb miss is 13.0ns
(~34 cycles). At those rates, refilling the 512-entry dTLB takes
22,000 cycles.
4. 22,000 cycles is approximately the equivalent of doing 85
invlpg operations. But, the odds are that the TLB can
actually be filled up faster than that because TLB misses that
are close in time also tend to leverage the same caches.
6. ~98% of flushes are <=33 pages. There are a lot of flushes of
33 pages, probably because libc's M_TRIM_THRESHOLD is set to
128k (32 pages)
7. I've found no consistent data to support changing the IvyBridge
vs. SandyBridge tunable by a factor of 16
I used the performance counters on this hardware (IvyBridge i5-3320M)
to figure out the tlb miss costs:
ocperf.py stat -e dtlb_load_misses.walk_duration,dtlb_load_misses.walk_completed,dtlb_store_misses.walk_duration,dtlb_store_misses.walk_completed,itlb_misses.walk_duration,itlb_misses.walk_completed,itlb.itlb_flush
7,720,030,970 dtlb_load_misses_walk_duration [57.13%]
169,856,353 dtlb_load_misses_walk_completed [57.15%]
708,832,859 dtlb_store_misses_walk_duration [57.17%]
19,346,823 dtlb_store_misses_walk_completed [57.17%]
2,779,687,402 itlb_misses_walk_duration [57.15%]
82,241,148 itlb_misses_walk_completed [57.13%]
770,717 itlb_itlb_flush [57.11%]
Show that a dtlb miss is 17.1ns (~45 cycles) and a itlb miss is 13.0ns
(~34 cycles). At those rates, refilling the 512-entry dTLB takes
22,000 cycles. On a SandyBridge system with more cores and larger
caches, those are dtlb=13.4ns and itlb=9.5ns.
cat perf.stat.txt | perl -pe 's/,//g'
| awk '/itlb_misses_walk_duration/ { icyc+=$1 }
/itlb_misses_walk_completed/ { imiss+=$1 }
/dtlb_.*_walk_duration/ { dcyc+=$1 }
/dtlb_.*.*completed/ { dmiss+=$1 }
END {print "itlb cyc/miss: ", icyc/imiss, " dtlb cyc/miss: ", dcyc/dmiss, " ----- ", icyc,imiss, dcyc,dmiss }
On Westmere CPUs, the counters to use are: itlb_flush,itlb_misses.walk_cycles,itlb_misses.any,dtlb_misses.walk_cycles,dtlb_misses.any
The assumptions that this code went in under:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/12/119 say that a flush and a refill are
about 100ns. Being generous, that is over by a factor of 6 on the
refill side, although it is fairly close on the cost of an invlpg.
An increase of a single invlpg operation seems to lengthen the flush
range operation by about 200 cycles. Here is one example of the data
collected for flushing 10 and 11 pages (full data are below):
10: 0.43% 93.90% avg cycles: 3570 cycles/page: 357 samples: 4714
11: 0.20% 94.10% avg cycles: 3767 cycles/page: 342 samples: 2145
How to generate this table:
echo 10000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
echo x86-tsc > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock
echo 'reason != 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/filter

Pipe the trace output in to this script:

150 pages. Only data points with >=50 of samples were printed:

Most of the logic here is in the documentation file. Please take
a look at it.
I know we've come full-circle here back to a tunable, but this
new one is *WAY* simpler. I challenge anyone to describe in one
sentence how the old one worked. Here's the way the new one
works:
If we are flushing more pages than the ceiling, we use
the full flush, otherwise we use per-page flushes.

We don't have any good way to figure out what kinds of flushes
are being attempted. Right now, we can try to use the vm
counters, but those only tell us what we actually did with the
hardware (one-by-one vs full) and don't tell us what was actually
_requested_.
This allows us to select out "interesting" TLB flushes that we
might want to optimize (like the ranged ones) and ignore the ones
that we have very little control over (the ones at context
switch).

There are currently three paths through the remote flush code:
1. full invalidation
2. single page invalidation using invlpg
3. ranged invalidation using invlpg
This takes 2 and 3 and combines them in to a single path by
making the single-page one just be the start and end be start
plus a single page. This makes placement of our tracepoint easier.

If we take the
if (end == TLB_FLUSH_ALL || vmflag & VM_HUGETLB) {
local_flush_tlb();
goto out;
}
path out of flush_tlb_mm_range(), we will have flushed the tlb,
but not incremented NR_TLB_LOCAL_FLUSH_ALL. This unifies the
way out of the function so that we always take a single path when
doing a full tlb flush.

I think the flush_tlb_mm_range() code that tries to tune the
flush sizes based on the CPU needs to get ripped out for
several reasons:
1. It is obviously buggy. It uses mm->total_vm to judge the
task's footprint in the TLB. It should certainly be using
some measure of RSS, *NOT* ->total_vm since only resident
memory can populate the TLB.
2. Haswell, and several other CPUs are missing from the
intel_tlb_flushall_shift_set() function. Thus, it has been
demonstrated to bitrot quickly in practice.
3. It is plain wrong in my vm:
[ 0.037444] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] tlb_flushall_shift: 6
Which leads to it to never use invlpg.
4. The assumptions about TLB refill costs are wrong:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337782555-8088-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com
(more on this in later patches)
5. I can not reproduce the original data: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59
I believe the sample times were too short. Running the
benchmark in a loop yields times that vary quite a bit.
Note that this leaves us with a static ceiling of 1 page. This
is a conservative, dumb setting, and will be revised in a later
patch.
This also removes the code which attempts to predict whether we
are flushing data or instructions. We expect instruction flushes
to be relatively rare and not worth tuning for explicitly.

The

line of code is not exactly the easiest to audit, especially when
it ends up at two different indentation levels. This eliminates
one of the the copy-n-paste versions. It also gives us a unified
exit point for each path through this function. We need this in

resolves a very technical error, in that ret was declared as

Our break hooks are used to handle brk exceptions from kgdb (and potentially
kprobes if that code ever resurfaces), so don't bother calling them if
the BRK exception comes from userspace.
This prevents userspace from trapping to a kdb shell on systems where
kgdb is enabled and active.

A VCPU might never stop if it intercepts (for whatever reason) between
"fake interrupt delivery" and execution of the stop function.
Heart of the problem is that SIGP STOP is an interrupt that has to be
processed on every SIE entry until the VCPU finally executes the stop
function.
This problem was made apparent by commit 7dfc63cf97
(KVM: s390: allow only one SIGP STOP (AND STORE STATUS) at a time).
With the old code, the guest could (incorrectly) inject SIGP STOPs
multiple times. The bug of losing a sigp stop exists in KVM before
7dfc63cf97, but it was hidden by Linux guests doing a sigp stop loop.
The new code (rightfully) returns CC=2 and does not queue a new
interrupt.
This patch is a simple fix of the problem. Longterm we are going to
rework that code - e.g. get rid of the action bits and so on.

[some additional patch description]
The GPIO pin connected to card detect was inverted twice: once by
the argument to the GPIO line itself where it was magically marked
as active low by the flag GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW (0x01) in the third cell,
and also marked active low AGAIN by explicitly stating
"cd-inverted" (a deprecated method).
After commit 78f87df2b4
"mmc: mmci: Use the common mmc DT parser" this results in the
line being inverted twice so it was effectively uninverted, while
the old code would not have this effect, instead disregarding the
flag on the GPIO line altogether, which is a bug. I admit the
semantics may be unclear but inverting twice is as good a
definition as any on how this should work.
So fix up the buggy device tree. Use proper #includes so the DTS
is clear and readable.

The primary dependency is that GHES uses the x86 NMI for hardware
error notification and MCE for memory error handling. These patches
remove that dependency.
Other APEI features such as error reporting via external IRQ, error
serialization, or error injection, do not require changes to use them
on non-x86 architectures.
The following patch set eliminates the APEI Kconfig x86 dependency
by making these changes:
- treat NMI notification as GHES architecture - HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI
- group and wrap around #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI code which
is used only for NMI path
- identify architectural boxes and abstract it accordingly (tlb flush and MCE)
- rework ioremap for both IRQ and NMI context
NMI code is kept in ghes.c file since NMI and IRQ context are tightly coupled.
Note, these patches introduce no functional changes for x86. The NMI notification

Exynos has buggy firmware that puts bad data into the memory node. Commit
1c2f87c2 (ARM: Get rid of meminfo) exposed the bug by dropping the artificial
upper bound on the number of memory banks that can be added. Exynos fails to
boot after that commit. This branch fixes it by splitting the early DT parse
function and inserting a fixup hook. Exynos uses the hook to correct the DT
before parsing memory regions.

Pull Exynos platform DT fix from Grant Likely:
"Device tree Exynos bug fix for v3.16-rc7
This bug fix has been brewing for a while. I hate sending it to you
so late, but I only got confirmation that it solves the problem this
past weekend. The diff looks big for a bug fix, but the majority of
it is only executed in the Exynos quirk case. Unfortunately it
required splitting early_init_dt_scan() in two and adding quirk
handling in the middle of it on ARM.
Exynos has buggy firmware that puts bad data into the memory node.
Commit 1c2f87c225 ("ARM: Get rid of meminfo") exposed the bug by
dropping the artificial upper bound on the number of memory banks that
can be added. Exynos fails to boot after that commit. This branch
fixes it by splitting the early DT parse function and inserting a
fixup hook. Exynos uses the hook to correct the DT before parsing
memory regions"

Building a kernel with CPU_BIG_ENDIAN fails if there are stale objects
from a !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN build. Due to a missing FORCE prerequisite on an
if_changed rule in the VDSO Makefile, we attempt to link a stale LE
object into the new BE kernel.
According to Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, FORCE is required for
if_changed rules and forgetting it is a common mistake, so fix it by
'Forcing' the build of vdso. This patch fixes build errors like these:
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian
failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian
failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o

arch_gnttab_map_frames() and arch_gnttab_unmap_frames() are called in
atomic context but were calling alloc_vm_area() which might sleep.
Also, if a driver attempts to allocate a grant ref from an interrupt
and the table needs expanding, then the CPU may already by in lazy MMU
mode and apply_to_page_range() will BUG when it tries to re-enable
lazy MMU mode.
These two functions are only used in PV guests.
Introduce arch_gnttab_init() to allocates the virtual address space in
advance.
Avoid the use of apply_to_page_range() by using saving and using the
array of PTE addresses from the alloc_vm_area() call (which ensures
that the required page tables are pre-allocated).

Commit 1c2f87c225
(ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo) dropped the upper bound on
the number of memory banks that can be added as there was no
technical need in the kernel. It turns out though, some bootloaders
(specifically the arndale-octa exynos boards) may pass invalid memory
information and rely on the kernel to not parse this data. This is a
bug in the bootloader but we still need to work around this.
Work around this by introducing a dt_fixup function. This function
gets called before the flattened devicetree is scanned for memory
and the like. In this fixup function for exynos, limit the maximum
number of memory regions in the devicetree.
