* performance counters: core codeThomas Gleixner2008-12-0810-0/+1189
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the core kernel bits of Performance Counters subsystem. The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of performance counter hardware capabilities. It provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event capabilities on top of those. Performance counters are accessed via special file descriptors. There's one file descriptor per virtual counter used. The special file descriptor is opened via the perf_counter_open() system call: int perf_counter_open(u32 hw_event_type, u32 hw_event_period, u32 record_type, pid_t pid, int cpu); The syscall returns the new fd. The fd can be used via the normal VFS system calls: read() can be used to read the counter, fcntl() can be used to set the blocking mode, etc. Multiple counters can be kept open at a time, and the counters can be poll()ed. See more details in Documentation/perf-counters.txt. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | * x86: ret_from_fork - get rid of jump backIngo Molnar2008-11-281-15/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: remove dead code If we take a closer look at the rff_trace/rff_action ret_from_fork code, we have to realize that it does all the wrong things: for example it checks the TIF flag - while later on jumping back to the ret-from-syscall path - duplicating the check needlessly. But checking for _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is completely unnecessary here because we clear that flag for every freshly forked task. So the whole "tracing" code here, for which there is a out of line jump optimization that makes it even harder to read, is in reality completely dead code ...

| | * Merge branch 'x86/debug' into x86/irqIngo Molnar2008-11-28209-1731/+2519
| | |\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We merge this branch because x86/debug touches code that we started cleaning up in x86/irq. The two branches started out independent, but as unexpected amount of activity went into x86/irq, they became dependent. Resolve that by this cross-merge.
| | | * x86, debug: remove the confusing entry in call tracejia zhang2008-11-232-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: improve backtrace quality avoid the confusion in call trace because of the lack of padding at the tail of function. When do_exit gets called, the return address behind call instruction is pushed into stack. If something get wrong in do_exit, for x86_64, the entry "kernel_execve +0x00/0xXX" rather than "child_rip +0xYY/0xZZ" is in the call trace. That looks confusing, so add a u2d to make the return address still part of the original call site. (This also catches any instances of us returning from that function somehow.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: make stack overflow debug check and printout narrower stack_overflow_check() should consider the stack usage of pt_regs, and thus it could warn us in advance. Additionally, it looks better for the warning time to start at INITIAL_JIFFIES. Assuming that rsp gets close to the check point before interrupt arrives: when interrupt really happens, thread_info will be partly overrode.

The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the calling function. Normal interrupts arrive with ((~vector)-0x80) on the stack, which gets adjusted in common_interrupt: <common_interrupt>: (5) addq $0xffffffffffffff80,(%rsp) /* -> ~(vector) */ (4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args> (5) callq ffffffff80214290 <do_IRQ> <ret_from_intr>: ... An apic interrupt stub now look like this: <thermal_interrupt>: (5) pushq $0xffffffffffffff05 /* ~(vector) */ (4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args> (5) callq ffffffff80212b8f <smp_thermal_interrupt> (5) jmpq ffffffff80211f93 <ret_from_intr> Similarly the exception handler register saving function becomes simpler, without the need of any parameter shuffling. The stub for an exception without errorcode looks like this: <overflow>: (6) callq *0x1cad12(%rip) # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38> (2) pushq $0xffffffffffffffff /* no syscall */ (4) sub $0x78,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry> (3) mov %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */ (2) xor %esi,%esi /* no error code */ (5) callq ffffffff80213446 <do_overflow> (5) jmpq ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit> And one for an exception with errorcode like this: <segment_not_present>: (6) callq *0x1cab92(%rip) # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38> (4) sub $0x78,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry> (3) mov %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */ (5) mov 0x78(%rsp),%rsi /* load error code */ (9) movq $0xffffffffffffffff,0x78(%rsp) /* no syscall */ (5) callq ffffffff80213209 <do_segment_not_present> (5) jmpq ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit> Unfortunately, this last type is more than 32 bytes. But the total space savings due to this patch is about 2500 bytes on an smp-configuration, and I think the code is clearer than it was before. The tested kernels were non-paravirt ones (i.e., without the indirect call at the top of the exception handlers). Anyhow, I tested this patch on top of a recent -tip. The machine was an 2x4-core Xeon at 2333MHz. Measured where the delays between (almost-)adjacent rdtsc instructions. The graphs show how much time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added. For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0. Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there are small differences.

The "apicinterrupt" macro probably should have its own collection of systematic stubs for the same reason the main IRQ code does; as is it is a huge amount of replicated code.

Doing it in a C file with asm() statements doesn't help clarity, and it prevents some optimizations. Shrink the IRQ stubs down to just over four bytes per (we fit seven into a 32-byte chunk.) This shrinks the total icache consumption of the IRQ stubs down to an even kilobyte, if all of them are in active use. The downside is that we end up with a double jump, which could have a negative effect on some pipelines. The double jump is always inside the same cacheline on any modern chips. To get the most effect, cache-align the IRQ stubs. This makes the 64-bit code match changes already done to the 32-bit code, and should open up irqinit*.c for unification. Signed-off-by: H.
