2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: i386 make NMI use PERFCTR1 for architectural perfmon (take 2)Stephane Eranian
Hello, This patch against 2.6.20-git14 makes the NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting Intel architectural perfmon, such as Intel Core 2. Although all PMU events can work on both counters, the Precise Event-Based Sampling (PEBS) requires that the event be in PERFCTR0 to work correctly (see section 18.14.4.1 in the IA32 SDM Vol 3b). A similar patch for x86-64 is to follow. Changelog: - make the i386 NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting the Intel architectural perfmon (e.g. Core 2 Duo). This allows PEBS to work when the NMI watchdog is active. signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2007-02-16[PATCH] i386 prepare nmi watchdog for dynticksThomas Gleixner
The NMI watchdog implementation assumes that the local APIC timer interrupt is happening. This assumption is not longer true when high resolution timers and dynamic ticks come into play, as they may switch off the local APIC timer completely. Take the PIT/HPET interrupts into account too, to avoid false positives.

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86: fix laptop bootup hang in init_acpi()Ingo Molnar
During kernel bootup, a new T60 laptop (CoreDuo, 32-bit) hangs about 10%-20% of the time in acpi_init(): Calling initcall 0xc055ce1a: topology_init+0x0/0x2f() Calling initcall 0xc055d75e: mtrr_init_finialize+0x0/0x2c() Calling initcall 0xc05664f3: param_sysfs_init+0x0/0x175() Calling initcall 0xc014cb65: pm_sysrq_init+0x0/0x17() Calling initcall 0xc0569f99: init_bio+0x0/0xf4() Calling initcall 0xc056b865: genhd_device_init+0x0/0x50() Calling initcall 0xc056c4bd: fbmem_init+0x0/0x87() Calling initcall 0xc056dd74: acpi_init+0x0/0x1ee() It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through! Frustratingly, adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away ... After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog made these occasional hangs go away. So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would hang. (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method doing stores to chipset mmio registers?) Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted by this problem. As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang. I did a boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch it would hang every 5-10 attempts. Out of caution i did not touch the nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt hang). I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds and works with the patch applied.

2007-01-23[PATCH] Revert nmi_known_cpu() check during boot option parsingVenkatesh Pallipadi
Commit f2802e7f571c05f9a901b1f5bd144aa730ccc88e and its x86 version (b7471c6da94d30d3deadc55986cc38d1ff57f9ca) adds nmi_known_cpu() check while parsing boot options in x86_64 and i386. With that, "nmi_watchdog=2" stops working for me on Intel Core 2 CPU based system. The problem is, setup_nmi_watchdog is called while parsing the boot option and identify_cpu is not done yet. So, the return value of nmi_known_cpu() is not valid at this point. So revert that check. This should not have any adverse effect as the nmi_known_cpu() check is done again later in enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog().

2006-12-09[PATCH] x86: Fix boot hang due to nmi watchdog init codeRavikiran G Thirumalai
2.6.19 stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64 systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19. check_nmi_watchdog schedules an IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang. Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable) and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog. I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

This feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors. What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).

2006-09-26[PATCH] i386: Enable NMI watchdog by defaultAndi Kleen
I've had good experiences with having this on by default on x86-64. It turns nasty hangs into easier to debug oopses. Enable the local APIC wdog by default for systems newer than 2004. This comes from a strange compromise: according to arjan the reason it was off by default was some old IBM systems that corrupted registered when NMI happened in SMI. Can't remember more specific, but >= 2004 should avoid these. It's probably overly broad because most older systems should be ok (and the really old systems won't be supported by the local apic watchdog anyways) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: Add performance counter reservation framework for UP kernelsDon Zickus
Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance counters on the x86 chips. Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to make reviewing easier. The SMP portion makes a lot more changes. Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different counter. In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters). This will help prevent subsystems like oprofile from interfering with the nmi watchdog. Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2005-09-07[PATCH] detect soft lockupsIngo Molnar
This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP. When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run once per second. If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by the lockup.

Here I have: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.33GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 3320.084 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pni monitor ds_cpl est tm2 cid xtpr bogomips : 6642.39 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.33GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 3320.084 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pni monitor ds_cpl est tm2 cid xtpr bogomips : 6637.46 And the following code shows: $ cat linux-2.6.13-rc6/arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c [...] void setup_apic_nmi_watchdog (void) { switch (boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor) { case X86_VENDOR_AMD: if (boot_cpu_data.x86 != 6 && boot_cpu_data.x86 != 15) return; setup_k7_watchdog(); break; case X86_VENDOR_INTEL: switch (boot_cpu_data.x86) { case 6: if (boot_cpu_data.x86_model > 0xd) return; setup_p6_watchdog(); break; case 15: if (boot_cpu_data.x86_model > 0x3) return; Here I get boot_cpu_data.x86_model == 0x4. So I decided to change it and reboot. I now seem to have a working NMI. So, unless there's something know to be bad about this processor and the NMI. I'm submitting the following patch.

2005-06-23[PATCH] adjust i386 watchdog tick calculationJan Beulich
Get the i386 watchdog tick calculation into a state where it can also be used on CPUs with frequencies beyond 4GHz, and it consolidates the calculation into a single place (for potential furture adjustments).

2005-05-01[PATCH] check nmi watchdog is brokenJack F Vogel
A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing. I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a problem. Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails out. On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is also bougs... by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs. Its just that the test is being done too early. I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always too early. I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.

2005-04-16[PATCH] pm_message_t: more fixes in common and i386Pavel Machek
I thought I'm done with fixing u32 vs. pm_message_t ... unfortunately that turned out not to be the case as Russel King pointed out. Here are fixes for Documentation and common code (mainly system devices).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
