2018-10-02perf/x86/intel: Add a separate Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handlerAndi Kleen1-0/+5
Implements counter freezing for Arch Perfmon v4 (Skylake and newer). This allows to speed up the PMI handler by avoiding unnecessary MSR writes and make it more accurate. The Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler is substantially different than the older PMI handler. Differences to the old handler: - It relies on counter freezing, which eliminates several MSR writes from the PMI handler and lowers the overhead significantly. It makes the PMI handler more accurate, as all counters get frozen atomically as soon as any counter overflows. So there is much less counting of the PMI handler itself. With the freezing we don't need to disable or enable counters or PEBS. Only BTS which does not support auto-freezing still needs to be explicitly managed. - The PMU acking is done at the end, not the beginning. This makes it possible to avoid manual enabling/disabling of the PMU, instead we just rely on the freezing/acking. - The APIC is acked before reenabling the PMU, which avoids problems with LBRs occasionally not getting unfreezed on Skylake. - Looping is only needed to workaround a corner case which several PMIs are very close to each other. For common cases, the counters are freezed during PMI handler. It doesn't need to do re-check. This patch: - Adds code to enable v4 counter freezing - Fork <=v3 and >=v4 PMI handlers into separate functions. - Add kernel parameter to disable counter freezing. It took some time to debug counter freezing, so in case there are new problems we added an option to turn it off. Would not expect this to be used until there are new bugs. - Only for big core. The patch for small core will be posted later separately. Performance: When profiling a kernel build on Kabylake with different perf options, measuring the length of all NMI handlers using the nmi handler trace point: V3 is without counter freezing. V4 is with counter freezing. The value is the average cost of the PMI handler.

2018-09-28x86/intel_rdt: Use perf infrastructure for measurementsReinette Chatre1-8/+14
The success of a cache pseudo-locked region is measured using performance monitoring events that are programmed directly at the time the user requests a measurement. Modifying the performance event registers directly is not appropriate since it circumvents the in-kernel perf infrastructure that exists to manage these resources and provide resource arbitration to the performance monitoring hardware. The cache pseudo-locking measurements are modified to use the in-kernel perf infrastructure. Performance events are created and validated with the appropriate perf API. The performance counters are still read as directly as possible to avoid the additional cache hits. This is done safely by first ensuring with the perf API that the counters have been programmed correctly and only accessing the counters in an interrupt disabled section where they are not able to be moved. As part of the transition to the in-kernel perf infrastructure the L2 and L3 measurements are split into two separate measurements that can be triggered independently. This separation prevents additional cache misses incurred during the extra testing code used to decide if a L2 and/or L3 measurement should be made.

2018-09-20KVM: x86: Control guest reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFODrew Schmitt1-0/+9
Add KVM_CAP_MSR_PLATFORM_INFO so that userspace can disable guest access to reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO. Disabling access to reads of this MSR gives userspace the control to "expose" this platform-dependent information to guests in a clear way. As it exists today, guests that read this MSR would get unpopulated information if userspace hadn't already set it (and prior to this patch series, only the CPUID faulting information could have been populated). This existing interface could be confusing if guests don't handle the potential for incorrect/incomplete information gracefully (e.g. zero reported for base frequency).

2018-09-14xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing ballooned out pagesMarek Marczykowski-Górecki2-0/+15
Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first (from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM) this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be returned to Xen. Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs). Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace kicks in). Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime switch.

2018-09-12KVM: s390: Make huge pages unavailable in ucontrol VMsJanosch Frank1-1/+2
We currently do not notify all gmaps when using gmap_pmdp_xchg(), due to locking constraints. This makes ucontrol VMs, which is the only VM type that creates multiple gmaps, incompatible with huge pages. Also we would need to hold the guest_table_lock of all gmaps that have this vmaddr maped to synchronize access to the pmd. ucontrol VMs are rather exotic and creating a new locking concept is no easy task. Hence we return EINVAL when trying to active KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M and report it as being not available when checking for it.

2018-09-02dt-bindings: net: cpsw: Document cpsw-phy-sel usage but prefer phandleTony Lindgren1-0/+6
The current cpsw usage for cpsw-phy-sel is undocumented but is used for all the boards using cpsw. And cpsw-phy-sel is not really a child of the cpsw device, it lives in the system control module instead. Let's document the existing usage, and improve it a bit where we prefer to use a phandle instead of a child device for it. That way we can properly describe the hardware in dts files for things like genpd.

Meelis Roos reported a {menu,n}config regression: "I have libncurses devel package installed in the default system location (as do 99%+ on actual developers probably) and in this case, pkg-config is useless. pkg-config is needed only when libraries and headers are installed in non-default locations but it is bad to require installation of pkg-config on all the machines where make menuconfig would be possibly run." For {menu,n}config, do not use pkg-config if it is not installed. For {g,x}config, keep checking pkg-config since we really rely on it for finding the installation paths of the required packages.

a) rename to 'put' instead of 'release' to match 'get' when obtaining the buffer b) change the argument order to have the buffer as first argument c) add a new argument telling the function if the message was transferred. This allows the function to be used also in cases where setting up DMA failed, so the buffer needs to be freed without syncing to the message buffer. Also convert the only user.
