There were two problems with the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism,
both triggered by the same action.
When you (or perf_fuzzer) write a huge value into
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate the computed
perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes 0. This effectively disables the whole
dynamic throttle.
This is fixed by ensuring update_perf_cpu_limits() never sets the
value to 0. However, we allow disabling of the dynamic throttle by
writing 100 to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent. This will
generate a warning in dmesg.
The second problem is that by setting the max_sample_rate to a huge
number, the adaptive process can take a few tries, since it halfs the
limit each time. Change that to directly compute a new value based on
the observed duration.

Interrupt throttling is normally only done against
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate. This means that if that number is too
high (for whatever reason) you can lock up your machine.
We have, however, a dynamic throttling scheme too, but for that to
work, we need to add a callback to the interrupt handler, IBS did not
have this, so add it.

While tracing the IBS bits I saw the NMI hitting between clearing
IBS_STARTING and the actual MSR writes to disable the counter.
Since IBS_STARTING was cleared, the handler assumed these were spurious
NMIs and because STOPPING wasn't set yet either, insta-triggered an
"Unknown NMI".
Cure this by clearing IBS_STARTING after disabling the hardware.

When the IBS IRQ handler get a !0 return from perf_event_overflow;
meaning it should throttle the event, it only disables it, it doesn't

This confuses the state machine, as we'll use pmu::start() ->

Its possible to IOC_PERIOD while the event is throttled, this would
re-start the event and the next tick would then try to unthrottle it,
and find the event wasn't actually stopped anymore.
This would tickle a WARN in the x86-pmu code which isn't expecting to

Harry reported, that he's able to trigger a system freeze with cpu hot
unplug. The freeze turned out to be a live lock caused by recent changes in
irq_force_complete_move().
When fixup_irqs() and from there irq_force_complete_move() is called on the
dying cpu, then all other cpus are in stop machine an wait for the dying cpu
to complete the teardown. If there is a move of an interrupt pending then
irq_force_complete_move() sends the cleanup IPI to the cpus in the old_domain
mask and waits for them to clear the mask. That's obviously impossible as
those cpus are firmly stuck in stop machine with interrupts disabled.
I should have known that, but I completely overlooked it being concentrated on
the locking issues around the vectors. And the existance of the call to
__irq_complete_move() in the code, which actually sends the cleanup IPI made
it reasonable to wait for that cleanup to complete. That call was bogus even
before the recent changes as it was just a pointless distraction.
We have to look at two cases:
1) The move_in_progress flag of the interrupt is set
This means the ioapic has been updated with the new vector, but it has not
fired yet. In theory there is a race:
set_ioapic(new_vector) <-- Interrupt is raised before update is effective,
i.e. it's raised on the old vector.
So if the target cpu cannot handle that interrupt before the old vector is
cleaned up, we get a spurious interrupt and in the worst case the ioapic
irq line becomes stale, but my experiments so far have only resulted in
spurious interrupts.
But in case of cpu hotplug this should be a non issue because if the
affinity update happens right before all cpus rendevouz in stop machine,
there is no way that the interrupt can be blocked on the target cpu because
all cpus loops first with interrupts enabled in stop machine, so the old
vector is not yet cleaned up when the interrupt fires.
So the only way to run into this issue is if the delivery of the interrupt
on the apic/system bus would be delayed beyond the point where the target
cpu disables interrupts in stop machine. I doubt that it can happen, but at
least there is a theroretical chance. Virtualization might be able to
expose this, but AFAICT the IOAPIC emulation is not as stupid as the real
hardware.
I've spent quite some time over the weekend to enforce that situation,
though I was not able to trigger the delayed case.
2) The move_in_progress flag is not set and the old_domain cpu mask is not
empty.
That means, that an interrupt was delivered after the change and the
cleanup IPI has been sent to the cpus in old_domain, but not all CPUs have
responded to it yet.
In both cases we can assume that the next interrupt will arrive on the new
vector, so we can cleanup the old vectors on the cpus in the old_domain cpu
mask.

Change return type to "int". Keep zero as the success indicator
because it matches other similar code and people may be more
comfortable writing:

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The 4.6 pile of irq updates contains:
- Support for IPI irqdomains to support proper integration of IPIs to
and from coprocessors. The first user of this new facility is
MIPS. The relevant MIPS patches come with the core to avoid merge
ordering issues and have been acked by Ralf.
- A new command line option to set the default interrupt affinity
mask at boot time.
- Support for some more new ARM and MIPS interrupt controllers:
tango, alpine-msix and bcm6345-l1
- Two small cleanups for x86/apic which we merged into irq/core to
avoid yet another branch in x86 with two tiny commits.
- The usual set of updates, cleanups in drivers/irqchip. Mostly in
the area of ARM-GIC, arada-37-xp and atmel chips. Nothing
outstanding here"

There are lots of perf tooling updates as well. A few highlights:
perf report/top:
- Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report',
showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim)
On a mostly idle system:
# perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso
Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot:
# cat perf.hist.0
- 92.32% perf
58.20% perf
22.29% libc-2.22.so
5.97% [kernel]
4.18% libelf-0.165.so
1.69% [unknown]
- 4.71% qemu-system-x86
3.10% [kernel]
1.60% qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted)
+ 2.97% swapper
#
- Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for
histogram entries and callchains, i.e. dynamicly do what the
--percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does.
(Namhyung Kim)
perf mem:
- Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing
what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri
Olsa)
perf record:
- Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one
can tell that all the events in the command line should be
restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.:
perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u
is equivalent to:
perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions
- Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header:
$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
$ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8
# CPU cache info:
# L1 Data 32K [0-1]
# L1 Instruction 32K [0-1]
# L1 Data 32K [2-3]
# L1 Instruction 32K [2-3]
# L2 Unified 256K [0-1]
# L2 Unified 256K [2-3]
# L3 Unified 4096K [0-3]
Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to
allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple
machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference.
(Jiri Olsa)
- Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do
jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized
ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow
symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see
the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian)
perf script/trace:
- Decode data_src values (e.g. perf.data files generated by 'perf
mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa)
# perf script
perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in
'perf script' (Jiri Olsa)
- Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running
python or perl scripts (Taeung Song)
perf stat:
- 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
interval mode too. E.g:
# perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
# time counts unit events
1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle
1.000215928 752,003 cycles
<SNIP>
- Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)
- Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
perf BPF support:

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's
handling of read-only kernel memory:
- extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable
kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init
attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory.
This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once
per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified
after that point.
This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.
(by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.)
- make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the
Kconfig option. This simplifies the kernel and also signals that
read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.

Pull dma_*_writecombine rename from Ingo Molnar:
"Rename dma_*_writecombine() to dma_*_wc()
This is a tree-wide API rename, to move the dma_*() write-combining

Pull ram resource handling changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel resource handling changes to support NVDIMM error
injection.
This tree introduces a new I/O resource type, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM,
for System RAM while keeping the current IORESOURCE_MEM type bit set
for all memory-mapped ranges (including System RAM) for backward
compatibility.
With this resource flag it no longer takes a strcmp() loop through the
resource tree to find "System RAM" resources.
The new resource type is then used to extend ACPI/APEI error injection
facility to also support NVDIMM"

- Fix build with DEBUG_ZBOOT and MACH_JZ4780
- Fix issue with uninitialised temp_foreign_map
- Fix awk regex compile failure with certain versions of awk. At
this time, the sole user, ld-ifversion, is only used on MIPS"

MIPS: smp.c: Fix uninitialised temp_foreign_map
MIPS: Fix build error when SMP is used without GIC
ld-version: Fix awk regex compile failure
MIPS: Fix build with DEBUG_ZBOOT and MACH_JZ4780
When calculate_cpu_foreign_map() recalculates the cpu_foreign_map
cpumask it uses the local variable temp_foreign_map without initialising
it to zero. Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask
any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their
way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache
operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same
core, even though the VPEs share primary caches.
Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use.

The MIPS_GIC_IPI should only be selected when MIPS_GIC is also
selected, otherwise it results in a compile error. smp-gic.c uses some
functions from include/linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h like
plat_ipi_call_int_xlate() which are only added to the header file when
MIPS_GIC is set. The Lantiq SoC does not use the GIC, but supports SMP.
The calls top the functions from smp-gic.c are already protected by
some #ifdefs
The first part of this was introduced in commit 72e20142b2 ("MIPS:
Move GIC IPI functions out of smp-cmp.c")
