timestamps The realtime clock provided by do_gettimeofday() is affected by time jumps caused by NTP or DST. Furthermore, preliminary investigation showed that SMP systems the realtime clock is based on the CPU TSC, and those could get slightly out of sync, resulting in jitter in the timestamps depending on which processor handles the USB interrupts. Instead of the realtime clock, use a monotonic high resolution clock to timestamp the buffer. As this could in theory introduce a regression with some userspace applications expecting a realtime clock timestamp, add a module parameter to switch back to the realtime clock.

2010-02-26Lower USB storage settling delay to something more reasonableLinus Torvalds
The five-second delay can be rather annoying, and makes the system appear much less responsive when you connect a USB drive. It's also not entirely clear that it is needed - the settling delay has at least historically been an issue on some Apple iPods, for example, and some devices have been reported to need even more than the old 5s delay. But before we penalize them all, let's see how bad it really is. Some of the reasons for long delays seem to be actual historical kernel bugs that should probably never have been papered over with a delay in the first place (there's a Ubuntu bug report for 2.6.20 about a NULL pointer dereference unless 'delay_use' is 8 or more, for example). It also looks like some distros have already shipped with delay_use=0, so the five second default may well be totally historical. In other words: "Let's see if anybody screams".

2010-02-26dlm: send reply before bastDavid Teigland
When the lock master processes a successful operation (request, convert, cancel, or unlock), it will process the effects of the change before sending the reply for the operation. The "effects" of the operation are: - blocking callbacks (basts) for any newly granted locks - waiting or converting locks that can now be granted The cast is queued on the local node when the reply from the lock master is received. This means that a lock holder can receive a bast for a lock mode that is doesn't yet know has been granted. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

2010-02-26perf tools: Flush maps on COMM eventsDavid S. Miller
Even though we don't register the counters until the child is right about to exec(), we're still going to get at least a few events while the fork()'d child is still executing 'perf' and in particular we're going to get the MMAP events. We can't distinguish the ones in the newly executed process because the PID will be the same. One way to solve this would be to have a PERF_RECORD_EXEC event, and when this is seen 'perf' can flush it's map cache. We can't use PERF_RECORD_COMM since that's generated by other things, not just exec(). Actually, thinking about it some more, using PERF_RECORD_COMM might be a good enough approximation.

2010-02-26sched: Fix SCHED_MC regression caused by change in sched cpu_powerSuresh Siddha
On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc. Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated via this recent change: | | commit f93e65c186ab3c05ce2068733ca10e34fd00125e | Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> | Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:32 2009 +0200 | | sched: Restore __cpu_power to a straight sum of power | Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance (default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies. We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how much load to move etc. Reported-by: Ma Ling <ling.ma@intel.com> Initial-Analysis-by: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> [ -v2: build fix ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # [2.6.32.x, 2.6.33.x] LKML-Reference: <1266970432.11588.22.camel@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance counter. There is a warning in the code for this case. The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the desired event by editing the /usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact your hardware or BIOS vendor.

2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement randomization for IBS periodic op counterRobert Richter
IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic op counter value with each sample. This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value. There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt). The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory system. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement lsfr pseudo-random number generator for IBSSuravee Suthikulpanit
This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for pseudo-random number generation for IBS. For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs. The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior. The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

2010-02-26oprofile/x86: implement IBS cpuid feature detectionRobert Richter
This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX), but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS. The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature (ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles. In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current opcontrol is compatible. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
2010-02-26oprofile/x86: remove node check in AMD IBS initializationRobert Richter
Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations (especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is better to remove the check.

2010-02-26perf_events, x86: Remove superflous MSR writesPeter Zijlstra
We re-program the event control register every time we reset the count, this appears to be superflous, hence remove it. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-02-26perf_events: Simplify code by removing cpu argument to hw_perf_group_sched_in()Peter Zijlstra
Since the cpu argument to hw_perf_group_sched_in() is always smp_processor_id(), simplify the code a little by removing this argument and using the current cpu where needed.

2010-02-26perf_events, x86: AMD event schedulingStephane Eranian
This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling. NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to those counters needs to be synchronized. We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint structure.
