2009-05-17perf_counter, x86: fix zero irq_period countersIngo Molnar
The quirk to irq_period unearthed an unrobustness we had in the hw_counter initialization sequence: we left irq_period at 0, which was then quirked up to 2 ... which then generated a _lot_ of interrupts during 'perf stat' runs, slowed them down and skewed the counter results in general. Initialize irq_period to the maximum instead.

2009-05-17perf_counter: fix threaded task exitIngo Molnar
Flushing counters in __exit_signal() with irqs disabled is not a good idea as perf_counter_exit_task() acquires mutexes. So flush it before acquiring the tasklist lock. (Note, we still need a fix for when the PID has been unhashed.)

2009-05-15libata: Media rotation rate and form factor heuristicsMartin K. Petersen
This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words. The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page. This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit without any version checking whatsoever.

2009-05-15devpts: correctly set default optionsSukadev Bhattiprolu
devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options. The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are non-zero by default. parse_mount_options() restores options to default anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options. So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even for NULL mount options. Bug reported by Eric Paris: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/7/448.

2009-05-15perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow ↵Paul Mackerras
events This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events, including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified. Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

2009-05-15perf_counter: allow arch to supply event misc flags and instruction pointerPaul Mackerras
At present the values we put in overflow events for the misc flags indicating processor mode and the instruction pointer are obtained using the standard user_mode() and instruction_pointer() functions. Those functions tell you where the performance monitor interrupt was taken, which might not be exactly where the counter overflow occurred, for example because interrupts were disabled at the point where the overflow occurred, or because the processor had many instructions in flight and chose to complete some more instructions beyond the one that caused the counter overflow. Some architectures (e.g. powerpc) can supply more precise information about where the counter overflow occurred and the processor mode at that point. This introduces new functions, perf_misc_flags() and perf_instruction_pointer(), which arch code can override to provide more precise information if available. They have default implementations which are identical to the existing code. This also adds a new misc flag value, PERF_EVENT_MISC_HYPERVISOR, for the case where a counter overflow occurred in the hypervisor. We encode the processor mode in the 2 bits previously used to indicate user or kernel mode; the values for user and kernel mode are unchanged and hypervisor mode is indicated by both bits being set.

2009-05-15perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event codes internallyPaul Mackerras
Although the perf_counter API allows 63-bit raw event codes, internally in the powerpc back-end we had been using 32-bit event codes. This expands them to 64 bits so that we can add bits for specifying threshold start/stop events and instruction sampling modes later. This also corrects the return value of can_go_on_limited_pmc; we were returning an event code rather than just a 0/1 value in some circumstances. That didn't particularly matter while event codes were 32-bit, but now that event codes are 64-bit it might, so this fixes it.

2009-05-15ext4: Fix race in ext4_inode_info.i_cached_extentTheodore Ts'o
If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors and/or inode table. This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

Commit 79e539453b34e35f39299a899d263b0a1f1670bd introduced a regression where you cannot use sysrq 'g' to enter kgdb. The solution is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for graphics. The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the code were cleaned up as well. This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

2009-05-15perf stat: handle Ctrl-CIngo Molnar
Before this change, if a long-running perf stat workload was Ctrl-C-ed, the utility exited without displaying statistics. After the change, the Ctrl-C gets propagated into the workload (and causes its early exit there), but perf stat itself will still continue to run and will display counter results. This is useful to run open-ended workloads, let them run for a while, then Ctrl-C them to get the stats.

This reverts commit fafd688e4c0c34da0f3de909881117d374e4c7af. Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs to control pdflush threads.

This is a buildfix for the DaVinci PCM code, resyncing it with the version in the DaVinci tree. The notable change is using current EDMA interfaces, which recently merged to mainline. (The older interfaces never made it into mainline.) NOTE: open issue, the DMA should be to/from SRAM; see chip errata for more info. The artifacts are extremely easy to hear on DM355 hardware (not yet supported in mainline), but don't seem as audible on DM6446 hardwaare (which does have mainline support).

2009-05-15perf_counter: Remove ACPI quirkIngo Molnar
We had a disable/enable around acpi_idle_do_entry() due to an erratum in an early prototype CPU i had access to. That erratum has been fixed in the BIOS so remove the quirk. The quirk also kept us from profiling interrupts that hit the ACPI idle instruction - so this is an improvement as well, beyond a cleanup and a micro-optimization.

2009-05-15perf_counter: x86: Protect against infinite loops in intel_pmu_handle_irq()Ingo Molnar
intel_pmu_handle_irq() can lock up in an infinite loop if the hardware does not allow the acking of irqs. Alas, this happened in testing so make this robust and emit a warning if it happens in the future. Also, clean up the IRQ handlers a bit.

2009-05-15perf_counter: x86: Disallow interval of 1Ingo Molnar
On certain CPUs i have observed a stuck PMU if interval was set to 1 and NMIs were used. The PMU had PMC0 set in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS, but it was not possible to ack it via MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL, and the NMI loop got stuck infinitely.

2009-05-15perf_counter: x86: Robustify interrupt handlingPeter Zijlstra
Two consecutive NMIs could daze and confuse the machine when the first would handle the overflow of both counters.

2009-05-15perf_counter: Rework the perf counter disable/enablePeter Zijlstra
The current disable/enable mechanism is: token = hw_perf_save_disable(); ... /* do bits */ ... hw_perf_restore(token); This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't. x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.

2009-05-15perf_counter: x86: Fix up the amd NMI/INT throttlePeter Zijlstra
