...because future AMD systems will support up to 64 MCA banks per CPU.
MAX_NR_BANKS is used to allocate a number of data structures, and it is
used as a ceiling for values read from MCG_CAP[Count]. Therefore, this
change will have no functional effect on existing systems with 32 or
fewer MCA banks per CPU.
However, this will increase the size of the following structures:
Global bitmaps:
- core.c / mce_banks_ce_disabled
- core.c / all_banks
- core.c / valid_banks
- core.c / toclear
- Total: 32 new bits * 4 bitmaps = 16 new bytes
Per-CPU bitmaps:
- core.c / mce_poll_banks
- intel.c / mce_banks_owned
- Total: 32 new bits * 2 bitmaps = 8 new bytes
The bitmaps are arrays of longs. So this change will only affect 32-bit
execution, since there will be one additional long used. There will be
no additional memory use on 64-bit execution, because the size of long
is 64 bits.
Global structs:
- amd.c / struct smca_bank smca_banks[]: 16 bytes per bank
- core.c / struct mce_bank_dev mce_bank_devs[]: 56 bytes per bank
- Total: 32 new banks * (16 + 56) bytes = 2304 new bytes
Per-CPU structs:
- core.c / struct mce_bank mce_banks_array[]: 16 bytes per bank
- Total: 32 new banks * 16 bytes = 512 new bytes
32-bit
Total global size increase: 2320 bytes
Total per-CPU size increase: 520 bytes
64-bit
Total global size increase: 2304 bytes
Total per-CPU size increase: 512 bytes
This additional memory should still fit within the existing .data
section of the kernel binary. However, in the case where it doesn't
fit, an additional page (4kB) of memory will be added to the binary to
accommodate the extra data which will be the maximum size increase of
vmlinux.

Current usage of thread.debugreg6 is convoluted at best. It starts life as
a copy of the hardware DR6 value, but then various bits are cleared and
set.
Replace this with a new variable thread.virtual_dr6 that is initialized to
0 when DR6 is read and only gains bits, at the same time the actual (on
stack) dr6 value which is read from the hardware only gets bits cleared.

XORL %0,%0 is equivalent to XORQ %0,%0 as both will zero the entire
register. Use XORL %0,%0 for all operand sizes to avoid REX prefix byte
when legacy registers are used and to avoid size prefix byte when 16bit
registers are used.
Zeroing the full register is OK in this use case.
As a result, the size of the .fixup section decreases by 20 bytes.

Extend the static_call infrastructure to optimize the following common
pattern:
if (func_ptr)
func_ptr(args...)
For the trampoline (which is in effect a tail-call), we patch the
JMP.d32 into a RET, which then directly consumes the trampoline call.
For the in-line sites we replace the CALL with a NOP5.
NOTE: this is 'obviously' limited to functions with a 'void' return type.
NOTE: DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL() only requires a typename, as opposed

Objtool uses the trampoline naming convention to detect all the call

During boot (and module init), the call sites are patched to call
directly into the destination function. The temporary trampoline is

The 'flags' field of 'struct mmu_notifier_range' is used to indicate
whether invalidate_range_{start,end}() are permitted to block. In the
case of kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), this field is not
forwarded on to the architecture-specific implementation of
kvm_unmap_hva_range() and therefore the backend cannot sensibly decide
whether or not to block.
Add an extra 'flags' parameter to kvm_unmap_hva_range() so that
architectures are aware as to whether or not they are permitted to block.

csum_partial_copy_generic()
... and don't bother zeroing destination on error
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <[email protected]>
|
|
All callers of these primitives will
* discard anything we might've copied in case of error
* ignore the csum value in case of error
* always pass 0xffffffff as the initial sum, so the
resulting csum value (in case of success, that is) will never be 0.
That suggest the following calling conventions:
* don't pass err_ptr - just return 0 on error.
* don't bother with zeroing destination, etc. in case of error
* don't pass the initial sum - just use 0xffffffff.
This commit does the minimal conversion in the instances of csum_and_copy_...();
the changes of actual asm code behind them are done later in the series.
Note that this asm code is often shared with csum_partial_copy_nocheck();
the difference is that csum_partial_copy_nocheck() passes 0 for initial
sum while csum_and_copy_..._user() pass 0xffffffff. Fortunately, we are
free to pass 0xffffffff in all cases and subsequent patches will use that
freedom without any special comments.
A part that could be split off: parisc and uml/i386 claimed to have
csum_and_copy_to_user() instances of their own, but those were identical
to the generic one, so we simply drop them. Not sure if it's worth
a separate commit...

It's always 0. Note that we theoretically could use ~0U as well -
result will be the same modulo 0xffff, _if_ the damn thing did the
right thing for any value of initial sum; later we'll make use of
that when convenient.
However, unlike csum_and_copy_..._user(), there are instances that
did not work for arbitrary initial sums; c6x is one such.

quite a few architectures have the same csum_partial_copy_nocheck() -
simply memcpy() the data and then return the csum of the copy.
hexagon, parisc, ia64, s390, um: explicitly spelled out that way.
arc, arm64, csky, h8300, m68k/nommu, microblaze, mips/GENERIC_CSUM, nds32,
nios2, openrisc, riscv, unicore32: end up picking the same thing spelled
out in lib/checksum.h (with varying amounts of perversions along the way).
everybody else (alpha, arm, c6x, m68k/mmu, mips/!GENERIC_CSUM, powerpc,
sh, sparc, x86, xtensa) have non-generic variants. For all except c6x
the declaration is in their asm/checksum.h. c6x uses the wrapper
from asm-generic/checksum.h that would normally lead to the lib/checksum.h
instance, but in case of c6x we end up using an asm function from arch/c6x
instead.
Screw that mess - have architectures with private instances define
_HAVE_ARCH_CSUM_AND_COPY in their asm/checksum.h and have the default
one right in net/checksum.h conditional on _HAVE_ARCH_CSUM_AND_COPY

Intro
=====
The TopDown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors. Current perf has supported the method.
The method works well, but there is one problem. To collect the TopDown
events, several GP counters have to be used. If a user wants to collect
other events at the same time, the multiplexing probably be triggered,
which impacts the accuracy.
To free up the scarce GP counters, the hardware TopDown metrics feature
is introduced from Ice Lake. The hardware implements an additional
"metrics" register and a new Fixed Counter 3 that measures pipeline
"slots". The TopDown events can be calculated from them instead.
Events
======
The level 1 TopDown has four metrics. There is no event-code assigned to
the TopDown metrics. Four metric events are exported as separate perf
events, which map to the internal "metrics" counter register. Those
events do not exist in hardware, but can be allocated by the scheduler.
For the event mapping, a special 0x00 event code is used, which is
reserved for fake events. The metric events start from umask 0x10.
When setting up the metric events, they point to the Fixed Counter 3.
They have to be specially handled.
- Add the update_topdown_event() callback to read the additional metrics
MSR and generate the metrics.
- Add the set_topdown_event_period() callback to initialize metrics MSR
and the fixed counter 3.
- Add a variable n_metric_event to track the number of the accepted
metrics events. The sharing between multiple users of the same metric
without multiplexing is not allowed.
- Only enable/disable the fixed counter 3 when there are no other active
TopDown events, which avoid the unnecessary writing of the fixed
control register.
- Disable the PMU when reading the metrics event. The metrics MSR and
the fixed counter 3 are read separately. The values may be modified by
an NMI.
All four metric events don't support sampling. Since they will be
handled specially for event update, a flag PERF_X86_EVENT_TOPDOWN is
introduced to indicate this case.
The slots event can support both sampling and counting.
For counting, the flag is also applied.
For sampling, it will be handled normally as other normal events.
Groups
======
The slots event is required in a Topdown group.
To avoid reading the METRICS register multiple times, the metrics and
slots value can only be updated by slots event in a group.
All active slots and metrics events will be updated one time.
Therefore, the slots event must be before any metric events in a Topdown
group.
NMI
======
The METRICS related register may be overflow. The bit 48 of the STATUS
register will be set. If so, PERF_METRICS and Fixed counter 3 are
required to be reset. The patch also update all active slots and
metrics events in the NMI handler.
The update_topdown_event() has to read two registers separately. The
values may be modified by an NMI. PMU has to be disabled before calling
the function.
RDPMC
======
RDPMC is temporarily disabled. A later patch will enable it.

Remove the code to sync the vmalloc and ioremap ranges for x86-64. The

This is a patch that already went into the kernel as:
commit 8bb9bf242d1f ("x86/mm/64: Do not sync vmalloc/ioremap mappings")
But it had to be reverted later because it unveiled a bug from:

The bug in that commit causes the P4D/PUD pages not to be correctly
allocated, making the synchronization still necessary. That issue got
fixed meanwhile upstream:
commit 995909a4e22b ("x86/mm/64: Do not dereference non-present PGD entries")
With that fix it is safe again to remove the page-table synchronization
for vmalloc/ioremap ranges on x86-64.

pte_clear() et al are based on two paravirt steps today: one step to
create a page table entry with all zeroes, and one step to write this
entry value.
Drop the first step as it is completely useless.

On x86 set_pte_at() is now always falling back to set_pte(). So instead
of having this fallback after the paravirt maze just drop the
set_pte_at paravirt operation and let set_pte_at() use the set_pte()
function directly.

There are some code parts using CONFIG_PARAVIRT for Xen pvops related
issues instead of the more stringent CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL.
