2009-06-15perf_counter: x86: Fix call-chain support to use NMI-safe methodsPeter Zijlstra
__copy_from_user_inatomic() isn't NMI safe in that it can trigger the page fault handler which is another trap and its return path invokes IRET which will also close the NMI context. Therefore use a GUP based approach to copy the stack frames over. We tried an alternative solution as well: we used a forward ported version of Mathieu Desnoyers's "NMI safe INT3 and Page Fault" patch that modifies the exception return path to use an open-coded IRET with explicit stack unrolling and TF checking. This didnt work as it interacted with faulting user-space instructions, causing them not to restart properly, which corrupts user-space registers. Solving that would probably involve disassembling those instructions and backtracing the RIP. But even without that, the code was deemed rather complex to the already non-trivial x86 entry assembly code, so instead we went for this GUP based method that does a software-walk of the pagetables.

2009-06-15perf_counter, x86: Fix kernel-space call-chainsIngo Molnar
Kernel-space call-chains were trimmed at the first entry because we never processed anything beyond the first stack context. Allow the backtrace to jump from NMI to IRQ stack then to task stack and finally user-space stack. Also calculate the stack and bp variables correctly so that the stack walker does not exit early. We can get deep traces as a result, visible in perf report -D output: 0x32af0 [0xe0]: PERF_EVENT (IP, 5): 15134: 0xffffffff815225fd period: 1 ... chain: u:2, k:22, nr:24 ..... 0: 0xffffffff815225fd ..... 1: 0xffffffff810ac51c ..... 2: 0xffffffff81018e29 ..... 3: 0xffffffff81523939 ..... 4: 0xffffffff81524b8f ..... 5: 0xffffffff81524bd9 ..... 6: 0xffffffff8105e498 ..... 7: 0xffffffff8152315a ..... 8: 0xffffffff81522c3a ..... 9: 0xffffffff810d9b74 ..... 10: 0xffffffff810dbeec ..... 11: 0xffffffff810dc3fb This is a 22-entries kernel-space chain.

2009-06-12PM core: rename suspend and resume functionsAlan Stern
This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core. Rather than go through a boring list of name changes, suffice it to say that in the end we have a bunch of pairs of functions: device_resume_noirq dpm_resume_noirq device_resume dpm_resume device_complete dpm_complete device_suspend_noirq dpm_suspend_noirq device_suspend dpm_suspend device_prepare dpm_prepare in which device_X does the X operation on a single device and dpm_X invokes device_X for all devices in the dpm_list. In addition, the old dpm_power_up and device_resume_noirq have been combined into a single function (dpm_resume_noirq). Lastly, dpm_suspend_start and dpm_resume_end are the renamed versions of the former top-level device_suspend and device_resume routines.

2009-06-12PM: Rename device_power_down/up()Magnus Damm
Rename the functions performing "_noirq" dev_pm_ops operations from device_power_down() and device_power_up() to device_suspend_noirq() and device_resume_noirq(). The new function names are chosen to show that the functions are responsible for calling the _noirq() versions to finalize the suspend/resume operation. The current function names do not perform power down/up anymore so the names may be misleading. Global function renames: - device_power_down() -> device_suspend_noirq() - device_power_up() -> device_resume_noirq() Static function renames: - suspend_device_noirq() -> __device_suspend_noirq() - resume_device_noirq() -> __device_resume_noirq() Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2009-06-12lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.Rusty Russell
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly into the callsites, so the C versions are always used. But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path, so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler. The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of code, it's worth applying. 1GB Guest->Host: input(suppressed),output(suppressed) Before: Seconds: 0:16.53 Packets: 377268,753673 Interrupts: 22461,24297 Notifications: 1(5245),21303(732370) Net IRQs triggered: 377023(245),42578(711095) After: Seconds: 0:16.48 Packets: 377289,753673 Interrupts: 22281,24465 Notifications: 1(5245),21296(732377) Net IRQs triggered: 377060(229),42564(711109) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-06-11perf_counter: Accurate period dataPeter Zijlstra
We currently log hw.sample_period for PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, however this is incorrect. When we adjust the period, it will only take effect the next cycle but report it for the current cycle. So when we adjust the period for every cycle, we're always wrong. Solve this by keeping track of the last_period.

2009-06-10CPUFREQ: Mark e_powersaver driver as EXPERIMENTAL and DANGEROUSHarald Welte
The e_powersaver driver for VIA's C7 CPU's needs to be marked as DANGEROUS as it configures the CPU to power states that are out of specification. According to Centaur, all systems with C7 and Nano CPU's support the ACPI p-state method. Thus, the acpi-cpufreq driver should be used instead.
