      perf evsel: Support perf_evsel__open(cpus > 1 && threads > 1) · 0252208e
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      And a test for it:
      
      [acme@felicio linux]$ perf test
       1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
       2: detect open syscall event: Ok
       3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
      [acme@felicio linux]$
      
      Translating C the test does:
      
      1. generates different number of open syscalls on each CPU
         by using sched_setaffinity
      2. Verifies that the expected number of events is generated
         on each CPU
      
      It works as expected.

      perf, x86: P4 PMU - Fix unflagged overflows handling · 047a3772
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      Don found that P4 PMU reads CCCR register instead of counter
      itself (in attempt to catch unflagged event) this makes P4
      NMI handler to consume all NMIs it observes. So the other
      NMI users such as kgdb simply have no chance to get NMI
      on their hands.
      
      Side note: at moment there is no way to run nmi-watchdog
      together with perf tool. This is because both 'perf top' and
      nmi-watchdog use same event. So while nmi-watchdog reserves
      one event/counter for own needs there is no room for perf tool
      left (there is a way to disable nmi-watchdog on boot of course).
      
      Ming has tested this patch with the following results
      
       | 1. watchdog disabled
       |
       | kgdb tests on boot OK
       | perf works OK
       |
       | 2. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4
       |
       | kgdb tests on boot hang
       |
       | 3. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 and do not run kgdb
       | tests on boot
       |
       | "perf top" partialy works
       |   cpu-cycles            no
       |   instructions          yes
       |   cache-references      no
       |   cache-misses          no
       |   branch-instructions   no
       |   branch-misses         yes
       |   bus-cycles            no
       |
       | 4. watchdog enabled, with patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 applied
       |
       | kgdb tests on boot OK
       | perf does not work, NMI "Dazed and confused" messages show up
       |
      
      Which means we still have problems with p4 box due to 'unknown'
      nmi happens but at least it should fix kgdb test cases.

      tracing: Include module.h in define_trace.h · 3a9f987b
      Steven Rostedt authored
      While doing some developing, Peter Zijlstra and I have found
      that if a CREATE_TRACE_POINTS include is done before module.h
      is included, it can break the build.
      
      We have been lucky so far that this has not broke the build
      since module.h is included in almost everything.

      x86: Save rbp in pt_regs on irq entry · 625dbc3b
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      From the x86_64 low level interrupt handlers, the frame pointer is
      saved right after the partial pt_regs frame.
      
      rbp is not supposed to be part of the irq partial saved registers,
      but it only requires to extend the pt_regs frame by 8 bytes to
      do so, plus a tiny stack offset fixup on irq exit.
      
      This changes a bit the semantics or get_irq_entry() that is supposed
      to provide only the value of caller saved registers and the cpu
      saved frame. However it's a win for unwinders that can walk through
      stack frames on top of get_irq_regs() snapshots.
      
      A noticeable impact is that it makes perf events cpu-clock and
      task-clock events based callchains working on x86_64.
      
      Let's then save rbp into the irq pt_regs.
      
      As a result with:

      In original NMI handler, NMI reason io port (0x61) is only processed
      on BSP.  This makes it impossible to hot-remove BSP.  To solve the
      issue, a raw spinlock is used to allow the port to be processed on any

      x86, NMI: Remove DIE_NMI_IPI · c410b830
      Don Zickus authored
      With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between
      DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI.
      
      This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit.  Instead of calling the
      die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before
      the if-statement.  This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport
      to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent)
      internal NMIs are dealt with.

      x86, NMI: Add priorities to handlers · 166d7514
      Don Zickus authored
      In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities
      for the die notifiers.
      
      I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the
      notifier blocks.  Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created
      priorities.
      
      Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the
      event DIE_NMI_IPI.

      x86: Convert some devices to use DIE_NMIUNKNOWN · 673a6092
      Don Zickus authored
      They are a handful of places in the code that register a die_notifier
      as a catch all in case no claims the NMI.  Unfortunately, they trigger
      on events like DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, which depending on when they
      registered may collide with other handlers that have the ability to
      determine if the NMI is theirs or not.
      
      The function unknown_nmi_error() makes one last effort to walk the
      die_chain when no one else has claimed the NMI before spitting out
      messages that the NMI is unknown.
      
      This is a better spot for these devices to execute any code without
      colliding with the other handlers.
      
      The two drivers modified are only compiled on x86 arches I believe, so
      they shouldn't be affected by other arches that may not have
      DIE_NMIUNKNOWN defined.

      Replace the NMI related magic numbers with symbol constants.
      
      Memory parity error is only valid for IBM PC-AT, newer machine use
      bit 7 (0x80) of 0x61 port for PCI SERR. While memory error is usually
      reported via MCE. So corresponding function name and kernel log string
      is changed.
      
      But on some machines, PCI SERR line is still used to report memory
      errors. This is used by EDAC, so corresponding EDAC call is reserved.

      perf tools: Pass whole attr to event selectors · 23a2f3ab
      Lin Ming authored
      Since commit 69aad6f1(perf tools: Introduce event selectors), only
      perf_event_attr::type and ::config are passed to event selector, which
      makes perf tool not work correctly.
      
      For example, PEBS does not work because perf_event_attr::precise_ip is
      not passed to the syscall.
