2011-04-27ARM: 6887/1: Mark broadcast_timer_setup() __cpuinitStephen Boyd
This function is only called by percpu_timer_setup() which is also __cpuinit marked. Thus it's safe to mark this function as __cpuinit as well. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-04-27ARM: 6884/1: Fix infinite loop in ARM user perf_event backtrace codeSonny Rao
The ARM user backtrace code can get into an infinite loop if it runs into an invalid stack frame which points back to itself. This situation has been observed in practice. Fix it by capping the number of entries in the backtrace. This is also what other architectures do in their backtrace code.

2011-04-27nfs: don't lose MS_SYNCHRONOUS on remount of noac mountJeff Layton
On a remount, the VFS layer will clear the MS_SYNCHRONOUS bit on the assumption that the flags on the mount syscall will have it set if the remounted fs is supposed to keep it. In the case of "noac" though, MS_SYNCHRONOUS is implied. A remount of such a mount will lose the MS_SYNCHRONOUS flag since "sync" isn't part of the mount options.

2011-04-27NFSv4: Ensure we request the ordinary fileid when doing readdirplusTrond Myklebust
When readdir() returns a directory entry for the root of a mounted filesystem, Linux follows the old convention of returning the inode number of the covered directory (despite newer versions of POSIX declaring that this is a bug). To ensure this continues to work, the NFSv4 readdir implementation requests the 'mounted-on-fileid' from the server. However, readdirplus also needs to instantiate an inode for this entry, and for that, we also need to request the real fileid as per this patch.

2011-04-27perf, x86, nmi: Move LVT un-masking into irq handlersDon Zickus
It was noticed that P4 machines were generating double NMIs for each perf event. These extra NMIs lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages on the screen. I tracked this down to a P4 quirk that said the overflow bit had to be cleared before re-enabling the apic LVT mask. My first attempt was to move the un-masking inside the perf nmi handler from before the chipset NMI handler to after. This broke Nehalem boxes that seem to like the unmasking before the counters themselves are re-enabled. In order to keep this change simple for 2.6.39, I decided to just simply move the apic LVT un-masking to the beginning of all the chipset NMI handlers, with the exception of Pentium4's to fix the double NMI issue. Later on we can move the un-masking to later in the handlers to save a number of 'extra' NMIs on those particular chipsets. I tested this change on a P4 machine, an AMD machine, a Nehalem box, and a core2quad box. 'perf top' worked correctly along with various other small 'perf record' runs. Anything high stress breaks all the machines but that is a different problem. Thanks to various people for testing different versions of this patch.

2011-04-27m68k/mm: Set all online nodes in N_NORMAL_MEMORYMichael Schmitz
For m68k, N_NORMAL_MEMORY represents all nodes that have present memory since it does not support HIGHMEM. This patch sets the bit at the time node_present_pages has been set by free_area_init_node. At the time the node is brought online, the node state would have to be done unconditionally since information about present memory has not yet been recorded. If N_NORMAL_MEMORY is not accurate, slub may encounter errors since it uses this nodemask to setup per-cache kmem_cache_node data structures. This pach is an alternative to the one proposed by David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> attempting to set node state immediately when bringing the node online.

2011-04-26timers: Posix interface for alarm-timersJohn Stultz
This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if it is suspended. Some background can be found here: https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/ The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree. See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36 While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device. As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME). The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides (ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait on a new alarm). One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research. There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated bag, mid-flight).

2011-04-26timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interfaceJohn Stultz
This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for alarm-timers. Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers, but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer expires. The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree. See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36 This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct RTC manipulation.

2011-04-26timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack allocated rb nodesJohn Stultz
In cases where a timerqueue_node or some structure that utilizes a timerqueue_node is allocated on the stack, gcc would give warnings caused by the timerqueue_init()'s calling RB_CLEAR_NODE, which self-references the nodes uninitialized data. The solution is to create an rb_init_node() function that zeros the rb_node structure out and then calls RB_CLEAR_NODE(), and then call the new init function from timerqueue_init().

2011-04-26time: Add timekeeping_inject_sleeptimeJohn Stultz
Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled. This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume to measure the time in suspend. The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However, this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate. This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume. The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

Prettify the output to: Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_instructions': 239.775036 task-clock # 0.997 CPUs utilized 761,903,912 cycles # 3.178 GHz 356,620,620 stalled-cycles # 46.81% of all cycles are idle 1,001,578,351 instructions # 1.31 insns per cycle # 0.36 stalled cycles per insn 14,782 cache-references # 0.062 M/sec 5,694 cache-misses # 38.520 % of all cache refs 0.240493656 seconds time elapsed Also adjust the --repeat output to make the percentages align vertically: Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_instructions' (10 runs): 236.096793 task-clock # 0.997 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.011% ) 756,553,086 cycles # 3.204 GHz ( +- 0.002% ) 354,942,692 stalled-cycles # 46.92% of all cycles are idle ( +- 0.008% ) 1,001,389,700 instructions # 1.32 insns per cycle # 0.35 stalled cycles per insn ( +- 0.000% ) 10,166 cache-references # 0.043 M/sec ( +- 0.742% ) 468 cache-misses # 4.608 % of all cache refs ( +- 13.385% ) 0.236874136 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% ) Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-uapziqny39601apdmmhoz7hk@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-04-26perf stat: Factor our shadow statsIngo Molnar
Create update_shadow_stats() which is then used in both read_counter_aggr() and read_counter(). This not only simplifies the code but also fixes a bug: HW_CACHE_REFERENCES was not updated in read_counter().

2011-04-26perf stat: Make all displayed event names parseable as wellIngo Molnar
Right now we display this by default: 0.202204 task-clock-msecs # 0.282 CPUs 0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 85 page-faults # 0.420 M/sec The task-clock-msecs event cannot actually be passed back as an event name, the event name we recognize is 'task-clock'. So change the output of the cpu-clock and task-clock events to be idempotent. ( Units should be printed out in the right-side column, if needed. ) Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-lexrnbzy09asscgd4f7oac4i@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-04-26perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specifiedIngo Molnar
Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs". The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed to be an event modifier - but is not recognized. This patch changes the code to be more informative: $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true invalid event modifier: '-msecs' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

2011-04-26perf tools: Accept case-insensitive symbolic event variantsIngo Molnar
We currently fail on something like '-e CPU-migrations', with: invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations' While 'CPU-migrations' is how we actually print out the event in the default perf stat output: Performance counter stats for 'true': 0.202204 task-clock-msecs # 0.282 CPUs 0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec So change the matching to be case-insensitive.

2011-04-26perf events, x86: Work around the Nehalem AAJ80 erratumIngo Molnar
On Nehalem CPUs the retired branch-misses event can be completely bogus, when there are no branch-misses occuring. When there are a lot of branch misses then the count is pretty accurate. Still, this leaves us with an event that over-counts a lot. Detect this erratum and work it around by using BR_MISP_EXEC.ANY events. These will also count speculated branches but still it's a lot more precise in practice than the architectural event.
