      x86/intel/mid: Fix X86_INTEL_MID dependencies · edc6bc78
      David Cohen authored
      This patch fixes the following warning:
      
        warning: (X86_INTEL_MID) selects INTEL_SCU_IPC which has unmet direct dependencies (X86 && X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES && X86_INTEL_MID)
      
      It happens because when selected, X86_INTEL_MID tries to select
      INTEL_SCU_IPC regardless all its dependencies are met or not.
      
      This patch fixes it by adding the missing X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES
      dependency to X86_INTEL_MID.

      arch/x86/mm/srat: Skip NUMA_NO_NODE while parsing SLIT · a85eba88
      Toshi Kani authored
      When ACPI SLIT table has an I/O locality (i.e. a locality
      unique to an I/O device), numa_set_distance() emits this warning
      message:
      
       NUMA: Warning: node ids are out of bound, from=-1 to=-1 distance=10
      
      acpi_numa_slit_init() calls numa_set_distance() with
      pxm_to_node(), which assumes that all localities have been
      parsed with SRAT previously.  SRAT does not list I/O localities,
      where as SLIT lists all localities including I/Os.  Hence,
      pxm_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE (-1) for an I/O locality.
      
      I/O localities are not supported and are ignored today, but emitting
      such warning message leads to unnecessary confusion.
      
      Change acpi_numa_slit_init() to avoid calling
      numa_set_distance() with NUMA_NO_NODE.

      mm, x86: Revisit tlb_flushall_shift tuning for page flushes except on IvyBridge · b9a3b4c9
      Mel Gorman authored
      There was a large ebizzy performance regression that was
      bisected to commit 611ae8e3 (x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range
      support for x86).  The problem was related to the
      tlb_flushall_shift tuning for IvyBridge which was altered.  The
      problem is that it is not clear if the tuning values for each
      CPU family is correct as the methodology used to tune the values
      is unclear.
      
      This patch uses a conservative tlb_flushall_shift value for all
      CPU families except IvyBridge so the decision can be revisited
      if any regression is found as a result of this change.
      IvyBridge is an exception as testing with one methodology
      determined that the value of 2 is acceptable.  Details are in
      the changelog for the patch "x86: mm: Change tlb_flushall_shift
      for IvyBridge".
      
      One important aspect of this to watch out for is Xen.  The
      original commit log mentioned large performance gains on Xen.
      It's possible Xen is more sensitive to this value if it flushes
      small ranges of pages more frequently than workloads on bare
      metal typically do.

      There was a large performance regression that was bisected to
      commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for

      between a local and global flush for IvyBridge.
      
      In the interest of allowing the tests to be reproduced, this
      patch was tested using mmtests 0.15 with the following
      configurations

      Ebizzy hits the worst case scenario for TLB range flushing every
      time and it shows for these Ivybridge CPUs at least that the
      default choice is a poor on.  The patch addresses the problem.
      
      Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at
      http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 .  It
      measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed.  The
      expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that
      the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing
      
      There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count.  The
      number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max
      of 512.  To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full
      range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected
      within that section.
      
      iteration 1, random number between 0-64
      iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc
      
      This is still a very weak methodology.  When you do not know
      what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it
      can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges
      and an even spread is not representative of any workload that
      matters.  To improve this, we'd need to know the probability
      distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads
      that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed
      that into this benchmark.  Even that is not perfect because it
      would not account for the time between flushes but there are
      limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing
      something useful.  If a representative synthetic trace is
      provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

      Mean       16       40.05 (  0.00%)       39.04 (  2.51%)
      
      For both CPUs, average access time is reduced which is good as
      this is the benchmark that was used to tune the shift values in
      the first place albeit it is now known *how* the benchmark was
      used.
      
      The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive.  They
      showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those
      benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering
      with the test results recently.
      
      Network benchmarks were inconclusive.  Almost all results were
      flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine.
      These results were unstable and showed large variations between
      reboots.  It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've
      noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary.
      
      Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems
      like a logical choice.

      x86/mm: Eliminate redundant page table walk during TLB range flushing · 71b54f82
      Mel Gorman authored
      When choosing between doing an address space or ranged flush,
      the x86 implementation of flush_tlb_mm_range takes into account
      whether there are any large pages in the range.  A per-page
      flush typically requires fewer entries than would covered by a
      single large page and the check is redundant.
      
      There is one potential exception.  THP migration flushes single
      THP entries and it conceivably would benefit from flushing a
      single entry instead of the mm.  However, this flush is after a
      THP allocation, copy and page table update potentially with any
      other threads serialised behind it.  In comparison to that, the
      flush is noise.  It makes more sense to optimise balancing to
      require fewer flushes than to optimise the flush itself.
      
      This patch deletes the redundant huge page check.

      taking the penalty everywhere so make it a debugging option.

      x86/quirks: Add workaround for AMD F16h Erratum792 · fb53a1ab
      Aravind Gopalakrishnan authored
      The workaround for this Erratum is included in AGESA. But BIOSes
      spun only after Jan2014 will have the fix (atleast server
      versions of the chip). The erratum affects both embedded and
      server platforms and since we cannot say with certainity that
      ALL BIOSes on systems out in the field will have the fix, we
      should probably insulate ourselves in case BIOS does not do the
      right thing or someone is using old BIOSes.
      
      Refer to Revision Guide for AMD F16h models 00h-0fh, document 51810
      Rev. 3.04, November2013 for details on the Erratum.
      
      Tested the patch on Fam16h server platform and it works fine.

      Pull x86 cpufeature and mpx updates from Peter Anvin:
       "This includes the basic infrastructure for MPX (Memory Protection
        Extensions) support, but does not include MPX support itself.  It is,
        however, a prerequisite for KVM support for MPX, which I believe will
        be pushed later this merge window by the KVM team.
      
        This includes moving the functionality in
        futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() into a new function in uaccess.h so it
        can be reused - this will be used by the final MPX patches.
      
        The actual MPX functionality (map management and so on) will be pushed
        in a future merge window, when ready"

             associated with the 'i' hotkey, providing a counterpart to the
             --header option in the stdio UI (Namhyung Kim)
      
         - 'perf script':
           - Add an option in 'perf script' to print the source line number
             (Adrian Hunter)
           - Add --header/--header-only options to 'script' and 'report', the
             default is not tho show the header info, but as this has been the
             default for some time, leave a single line explaining how to
             obtain that information (Jiri Olsa)
           - Add options to show comm, fork, exit and mmap PERF_RECORD_ events
             (Namhyung Kim)
           - Print callchains and symbols if they exist (David Ahern)

             other tools (David Ahern)
      
         - 'perf trace':
           - Handle old kernels where the "raw_syscalls" tracepoints were
             called plain "syscalls" (David Ahern)
           - Remove thread summary coloring, by Pekka Enberg.
           - Honour -m option in 'trace', the tool was offering the option to
             set the mmap size, but wasn't using it when doing the actual mmap
             on the events file descriptors (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - generic:
           - Backport libtraceevent plugin support (trace-cmd repository, with
             plugins for jbd2, hrtimer, kmem, kvm, mac80211, sched_switch,
             function, xen, scsi, cfg80211 (Jiri Olsa)
           - Print session information only if --stdio is given (Namhyung Kim)
      
        Tooling side changes, developer visible (plumbing):
      
         - Improve 'perf probe' exit path, release resources (Masami
           Hiramatsu)
         - Improve libtraceevent plugins exit path, allowing the registering
           of an unregister handler to be called at exit time (Namhyung Kim)
         - Add an alias to the build test makefile (make -C tools/perf
           build-test) (Namhyung Kim)
         - Get rid of die() and friends (good riddance!) in libtraceevent
           (Namhyung Kim)
         - Fix cross build problems related to pkgconfig and CROSS_COMPILE not
           being propagated to the feature tests, leading to features being
           tested in the host and then being enabled on the target (Mark
           Rutland)
         - Improve forked workload error reporting by sending the errno in the
           signal data queueing integer field, using sigqueue and by doing the
           signal setup in the evlist methods, removing open coded equivalents
           in various tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
         - Do more auto exit cleanup chores in the 'evlist' destructor, so
           that the tools don't have to all do that sequence (Arnaldo Carvalho
           de Melo)
         - Pack 'struct perf_session_env' and 'struct trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho
           de Melo)
         - Add test for building detached source tarballs (Arnaldo Carvalho de
           Melo)
         - Move some header files (tools/perf/ to tools/include/ to make them
           available to other tools/ dwelling codebases (Namhyung Kim)
         - Move logic to warn about kptr_restrict'ed kernels to separate
           function in 'report' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
         - Move hist browser selection code to separate function (Arnaldo
           Carvalho de Melo)
         - Move histogram entries collapsing to separate function (Arnaldo

         - Ignore generated files in feature-checks (Chunwei Chen)
         - Introduce pevent_filter_strerror() in libtraceevent, similar in
           purpose to libc's strerror() function (Namhyung Kim)
         - Use perf_data_file methods to write output file in 'record' and
           'inject' (Jiri Olsa)
         - Use pr_*() functions where applicable in 'report' (Namhyumg Kim)
         - Add 'machine' 'addr_location' struct to have full picture (machine,
           thread, map, symbol, addr) for a (partially) resolved address,
           reducing function signatures (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
         - Reduce code duplication in the histogram entry creation/insertion
           (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
         - Auto allocate annotation histogram data structures (Arnaldo
           Carvalho de Melo)
         - No need to test against NULL before calling free, also set freed
           memory in struct pointers to NULL, to help fixing use after free
           bugs (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
         - Rename some struct DSO binary_type related members and methods, to
           clarify its purpose and need for differentiation (symtab_type, ie
           one is about the files .text, CFI, etc, i.e.  its binary contents,
           and the other is about where the symbol table came from (Arnaldo
           Carvalho de Melo)
         - Convert to new topic libraries, starting with an API one (sysfs,
           debugfs, etc), renaming liblk in the process (Borislav Petkov)
         - Get rid of some more panic() like error handling in libtraceevent.
           (Namhyung Kim)
         - Get rid of panic() like calls in libtraceevent (Namyung Kim)
         - Start carving out symbol parsing routines (perf, just moving
           routines to topic files in tools/lib/symbol/, tools that want to
           use it need to integrate it directly, ie no
           tools/lib/symbol/Makefile is provided (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
         - Assorted refactoring patches, moving code around and adding utility
           evlist methods that will be used in the IPT patchset (Adrian
           Hunter)
         - Assorted mmap_pages handling fixes (Adrian Hunter)
         - Several man pages typo fixes (Dongsheng Yang)
         - Get rid of several die() calls in libtraceevent (Namhyung Kim)
         - Use basename() in a more robust way, to avoid problems related to
           different system library implementations for that function
           (Stephane Eranian)
         - Remove open coded management of short_name_allocated member (Adrian
           Hunter)
         - Several cleanups in the "dso" methods, constifying some parameters
           and renaming some fields to clarify its purpose (Arnaldo Carvalho
           de Melo)
         - Add per-feature check flags, fixing libunwind related build
           problems on some architectures (Jean Pihet)
         - Do not disable source line lookup just because of one failure.
           (Adrian Hunter)
         - Several 'perf kvm' man page corrections (Dongsheng Yang)
         - Correct the message in feature-libnuma checking, swowing the right
           devel package names for various distros (Dongsheng Yang)
         - Polish 'readn()' function and introduce its counterpart,
           'writen()' (Jiri Olsa)
