Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

This fixes up broken clock re-parenting undertaken by the SH7709 clock
framework code, which is currently in conflict with the legacy CPG
framework. With this change in place, the legacy CPG ancestry is used,
and we manage to avoid contending on the clock_list_sem mutex, which is
already held under the legacy registration path, resulting in livelock.
In order for SH7709 to fully support the varying clock modes, it needs to
implement a more complete clock framework. After this change it is in
sync with legacy CPG mode, which ends up being the default configuration
for this CPU anyways.

Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This
replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.
To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.
The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.
Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.
This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.
This can be tested with the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <keyutils.h>
#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18
#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
key_serial_t keyring, key;
long ret;
keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");
key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
OSERROR(key, "add_key");
ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");
return 0;
}
Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:
[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
Session Keyring
-3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses
355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043

Session Keyring
-3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: hello

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied
from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt
exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the
regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we
mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from
the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling.
As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path
and just do it in assembly.

You can use instructions for the data side, but the iside can

The SH instruction set has several instructions which accept an 8 bit
immediate operand. For logical instructions this operand is zero extended,
for arithmetic instructions the operand is sign extended. After adding an
option to the assembler to check this, it was found that several pieces
of assembly code were assuming this behaviour, and in one case
getting it wrong.
So this patch explicitly sign extends any immediate operands, which makes
it obvious what is happening, and fixes the one case which got it wrong.

So far kernel command line arguments could be passed in by a bootloader

This change allows a developer to declare selected kernel parameters in

The obvious examples of the first type are MTD partition or

The synopsys PCI cell used in the later STMicro chips requires code to
be run in order to do IO cycles, rather than just memory mapping the IO
space. Rather than extending the existing SH infrastructure to allow
this, use the GENERIC_IOMAP implmentation to save re-inventing the
wheel.
This set of changes allows the SH to be built with GENERIC_IOMAP
enabled, it just ifdef's out the functions provided by the GENERIC_IOMAP
implementation, and provides a few required missing functions.

GCC does not issue unwind information for function epilogues.
Unfortunately we can catch a signal during an epilogue. The signal
handler writes the current context and signal return code onto the stack
overwriting previous contents. During unwinding, libgcc can try to
restore registers from the stack and restores corrupted ones. This can
lead to segmentation, misaligned access and sigbus faults.
For example, consider the following code:
mov.l r12,@-r15
mov.l r14,@-r15
sts.l pr,@-r15
mov r15,r14
<do stuff>
mov r14, r15
lds.l @r15+, pr
<<< SIGNAL HERE
mov.l @r15+, r14
mov.l @r15+, r12
rts
Unwind is aware that pr was pushed to stack in prolog, so tries to
restore it. Unfortunately it restores the last word of the signal
handler code placed on the stack by the kernel.
This patch tries to avoid the problem by adding a guard region on the
stack between where the function pushes data and where the signal handler
pushes its return code. We probably don't see this problem often because
exception handling unwinding in an epilogue only occurs due to a pthread
cancel signal. Also the kernel signal stack handler alignment of 8 bytes
could hide the occurance of this problem sometimes as the stack may not
be trampled at a particular required word.
This is not guaranteed to always work. It relies on a frame pointer
existing for the function (so it can get the correct sp value) which is
not always the case for the SH4.
Modifications will also be made to libgcc for the case where there is no
fp.

This patch brings the SH4 misaligned trap handler in line with what

Add a /proc/cpu/alignment which can be read from to get alignment
trap statistics and written to to influence the behaviour of the
alignment trap handling. The value to write is a bitfield, which
has the following meaning: 1 warn, 2 fixup, 4 signal
In addition, we add a /proc/cpu/kernel_alignment, to enable or
disable warnings in case of kernel code causing alignment errors.

This patch is V3 of the SuperH Mobile Runtime PM platform bus
implentation matching Rafael's Runtime PM v16.
The code gets invoked from the SuperH specific Runtime PM
platform bus functions that override the weak symbols for:
- platform_pm_runtime_suspend()
- platform_pm_runtime_resume()
- platform_pm_runtime_idle()
This Runtime PM implementation performs two levels of power
management. At the time of platform bus runtime suspend the
clock to the device is stopped instantly. Later on if all
devices within the power domain has their clocks stopped
then the device driver ->runtime_suspend() callbacks are
used to save hardware register state for each device.
Device driver ->runtime_suspend() calls are scheduled from
cpuidle context using platform_pm_runtime_suspend_idle().
When all devices have been fully suspended the processor
is allowed to enter deep sleep from cpuidle.
The runtime resume operation turns on clocks and also
restores registers if needed. It is worth noting that the
devices start in a suspended state and the device driver
is responsible for calling runtime resume before accessing
the actual hardware.
In this particular platform bus implementation runtime
resume is not allowed from interrupt context. Runtime
suspend is however allowed from interrupt context as
long as the synchronous functions are avoided.

We can't assume that if we execute the unwinder code and the unwinder
was already running that it has faulted. Clearly two kernel threads can
invoke the unwinder at the same time and may be running simultaneously.
The previous approach used BUG() and BUG_ON() in the unwinder code to
detect whether the unwinder was incapable of unwinding the stack, and
that the next available unwinder should be used instead. A better
approach is to explicitly invoke a trap handler to switch unwinders when
the current unwinder cannot continue.

Plug a memory leak in dwarf_unwinder_dump() where we didn't free the
memory that we had previously allocated for the DWARF frames and DWARF
registers.
Now is also a opportune time to implement our own mempool and kmem
cache. It's a good idea to have a certain number of frame and register
objects in reserve at all times, so that we are guaranteed to have our
allocation satisfied even when memory is scarce. Since we have pools to
allocate from we can implement the registers for each frame as a linked
list as opposed to a sparsely populated array. Whilst it's true that the
lookup time for a linked list is larger than for arrays, there's only
usually a maximum of 8 registers per frame. So the overhead isn't that
much of a concern.
