[PATCH 00/34] CPUFreq: Move freq change notifications out of drivers

by Viresh Kumar

Another 452 lines gone :) Total stats upto now for all the 5 patchsets: Viresh Kumar (186): ... 69 files changed, 700 insertions(+), 2451 deletions(-) Net: 1751 lines gone.. -----x-------------x---------------- Most of the drivers do following in their ->target_index() routines: struct cpufreq_freqs freqs; freqs.old = old freq... freqs.new = new freq... cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE); /* Change rate here */ cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE); This is replicated over all cpufreq drivers today and there doesn't exists a good enough reason why this shouldn't be moved to cpufreq core instead. There are few special cases though, like exynos5440, which doesn't do everything on the call to ->target_index() routine and call some kind of bottom halves for doing this work, work/tasklet/etc.. They may continue doing notification from their own code and so this patch introduces another flag: CPUFREQ_NO_NOTIFICATION, which will be set by such drivers. This is Fifth part of my cleanup work for CPUFreq, first three are (And obviously its rebased over them): 1: cpufreq: Introduce cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/8/263 2: cpufreq: define generic routines for cpufreq drivers https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/10/48 3.

[PATCH v2 0/6] arm64: Add ftrace support

by AKASHI Takahiro

This is my second version of patchset for ftrace support. Actually v1 was submitted serveral weeks ago, but is still moderated. (Just ignore them for now.) There is another implementation from Cavium network, but both works are independent, and my code has additional system call trace support. I confirmed that I could compile the patches on v3.12-rc4 by Linaro's coming 2013.10 gcc (4.8.2), and that the kernel worked on Fast Model with the following tracers: function tracer with dynamic ftrace function graph tracer with dynamic ftrace syscall tracepoint irqsoff & preemptirqsoff (which use CALLER_ADDRx) Also verified with in-kernel tests, FTRACE_SELFTEST, FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST and EVENT_TRACE_TEST_SYSCALLS. Patch[3/6] has warnings from checkpatch, but they follow other arch's style. Please be careful that host's elf.h must have AArch64 definitions, EM_AARCH64 and R_AARCH64_ABS64, to build the kernel. See [4/6]. Issues * Can we optimize register usages in asm (by not saving x0, x1 and x2)? [1/6] * Do we need "fault protection" code in ftrace_modify_code()? [1/6] It exists in x86 and other architectures, but not in arm. * We may be able to use aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() instead of ftrace_modify_code().[2/6] But the former function does not use probe_kernel_write(). Is this safe? Changes from v1 to v2: * splitted one patch into some pieces for easier review (especially function tracer + dynamic ftrace + CALLER_ADDRx) * put return_address() in a separate file * renamed __mcount to _mcount (it was my mistake) * changed stackframe handling to get parent's frame pointer * removed ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_OPS * switched to "hotpatch" interfaces from Huawai * revised descriptions in comments AKASHI Takahiro (6): arm64: Add ftrace support arm64: ftrace: Add dynamic ftrace support arm64: ftrace: Add CALLER_ADDRx macros ftrace: Add arm64 support to recordmcount arm64: ftrace: Add system call tracepoint arm64: Add 'notrace' attribute to unwind_frame() for ftrace arch/arm64/Kconfig | 6 + arch/arm64/include/asm/ftrace.h | 54 +++++++++ arch/arm64/include/asm/syscall.h | 1 + arch/arm64/include/asm/thread_info.h | 1 + arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd.h | 2 + arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile | 9 +- arch/arm64/kernel/arm64ksyms.c | 4 + arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S | 211 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S | 1 + arch/arm64/kernel/ftrace.c | 186 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/kernel/ptrace.c | 10 ++ arch/arm64/kernel/return_address.c | 55 +++++++++ arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c | 2 +- scripts/recordmcount.c | 4 + scripts/recordmcount.pl | 5 + 15 files changed, 549 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/arm64/include/asm/ftrace.h create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kernel/ftrace.c create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kernel/return_address.c -- 1.7.9.5

[PATCH v3 0/2] PM / Hibernate: sysfs resume

by Sebastian Capella

Patchsets related to hibernation resume: - enhancement to make the use of an existing resume file more general - enhance name_to_dev_t to ignore trailing newlines coming from userspace. Both patches are based on the 3.12-rc3 tag. This was tested on a Pandaboard with partial hibernation support, and compiled for x86. [PATCH 1/2] init/do_mounts.c: ignore final \n in name_to_dev_t init/do_mounts.c | 23 ++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) Changes name_to_dev_t to handle a trailing newline in the input buffer, which will allow name_to_dev_t to be used directly with user buffers without requiring a copy. Also adds a const to the name parameter which reflects how name_to_dev_t is treating the input buffer currently. This also allows direct use of user buffers (from resume_store for example). [PATCH 2/2] PM / Hibernate: use name_to_dev_t to parse resume kernel/power/hibernate.c | 15 ++++----------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) Use name_to_dev_t to parse the /sys/power/resume file making the syntax more flexible. It supports the previous use syntax and additionally can support other formats such as /dev/devicenode and UUID= formats. By changing /sys/debug/resume to accept the same syntax as the resume=device parameter, we can parse the resume=device in the initrd init script and use the resume device directly from the kernel command line. Changes in v3: -------------- * Dropped documentation patch as it went in through trivial * Added patch for name_to_dev_t to support directly parsing userspace buffer Changes in v2: -------------- * Added check for null return of kstrndup in hibernate.c Thanks, Sebastian

kexec/kdump for arm64

by Geoff Levand

Hi All, Just for anyone who might be interested, I've started to do some work on kexec and kdump support for arm64. This work is being done within Linaro, so is tracked by their Jira system: https://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-563 I have these two git repos with my work-in-progress patches: https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/geoff/kexec-tools.git https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/geoff/linux-kexec.git As of now, I'm just trying to get the pieces in place for a basic kexec reboot. Kdump and advanced features will come later. Comments or suggestions welcome. -Geoff

[RFC][PATCH v5 00/14] sched: packing tasks

by Vincent Guittot

This is the 5th version of the previously named "packing small tasks" patchset. "small" has been removed because the patchset doesn't only target small tasks anymore. This patchset takes advantage of the new per-task load tracking that is available in the scheduler to pack the tasks in a minimum number of CPU/Cluster/Core. The packing mechanism takes into account the power gating topology of the CPUs to minimize the number of power domains that need to be powered on simultaneously. Most of the code has been put in fair.c file but it can be easily moved to another location. This patchset tries to solve one part of the larger energy-efficient scheduling problem and it should be merged with other proposals that solve other parts like the power-scheduler made by Morten. The packing is done in 3 steps: The 1st step creates a topology of the power gating of the CPUs that will help the scheduler to choose which CPUs will handle the current activity. This topology is described thanks to a new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN that indicates whether the groups of CPUs of a scheduling domain share their power state. In order to be efficient, a group of CPUs that share their power state will be used (or not) simultaneously. By default, this flag is set in all sched_domain in order to keep the current behavior of the scheduler unchanged. The 2nd step evaluates the current activity of the system and creates a list of CPUs for handling it. The average activity level of CPUs is set to 80% but is configurable by changing the sched_packing_level knob. The activity level and the involvement of a CPU in the packing effort is evaluated during the periodic load balance similarly to cpu_power. Then, the default load balancing behavior is used to balance tasks between this reduced list of CPUs. As the current activity doesn't take into account a new task, an unused CPUs can also be selected during the 1st wake up and until the activity is updated. The 3rd step occurs when the scheduler selects a target CPU for a newly awakened task. The current wakeup latency of idle CPUs is used to select the one with the most shallow c-state. In some situation where the task load is small compared to the latency, the newly awakened task can even stay on the current CPU. Since the load is the main metric for the scheduler, the wakeup latency is transposed into an equivalent load so that the current mechanism of the load balance that is based on load comparison, is kept unchanged. A shared structure has been created to exchange information between scheduler and cpuidle (or any other framework that needs to share information). The wakeup latency is the only field for the moment but it could be extended with additional useful information like the target load or the expected sleep duration of a CPU. The patchset is based on v3.12-rc2 and is available in the git tree: git://git.linaro.org/people/vingu/kernel.git branch sched-packing-small-tasks-v5 If you want to test the patchset, you must enable CONFIG_PACKING_TASKS first. Then, you also need to create a arch_sd_local_flags that will clear the SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN flag at the appropriate level for your architecture. This has already be done for ARM architecture in the patchset. The figures below show the latency of cyclictest with and without the patchset on an ARM platform with a v3.11. The test has been runned 10 times on each kernel. #cyclictest -t 3 -q -e 1000000 -l 3000 -i 1800 -d 100 average (us) stdev v3.11 381,5 79,86 v3.11 + patches 173,83 13,62 Change since V4: - v4 posting:https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/25/396 - Keep only the aggressive packing mode. - Add a finer grain power domain description mechanism that includes DT description - Add a structure to share information with other framework - Use current wakeup latency of an idle CPU when selecting the target idle CPU - All the task packing mechanism can be disabled with a single config option Change since V3: - v3 posting: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/22/183 - Take into account comments on previous version. - Add an aggressive packing mode and a knob to select between the various mode Change since V2: - v2 posting: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/12/164 - Migrate only a task that wakes up - Change the light tasks threshold to 20% - Change the loaded CPU threshold to not pull tasks if the current number of running tasks is null but the load average is already greater than 50% - Fix the algorithm for selecting the buddy CPU.

[PATCH 0/4] CPUFreq stats: Bug fixes

by Viresh Kumar

Hi Rafael, I know you asked me not to send any more patches before the earlier ones get into kernel. I got to this as Nicolas Pitre required to send few CPUFreq patches for ARM's big LITTLE In-Kernel-Switcher. And within linaro we have hacked these bugs in a bad way.. Because of his dependency I am forced to send these.. These aren't introduced recently and so they can be included in 3.13. There are several problems/bugs in cpufreq-stats specially with cpufreq drivers as modules and suspend/resume path. These are mentioned well in changelogs. These are tested over my thinkpad (acpi-cpufreq) in following way: [1] offline+online all CPUs except boot cpu in a while loop [2] then do suspend resume [3] repeat [1] and [2] several times. No issues found.. Also tested on my exynos board: - Added cpufreq_unregister/register while loop in exynos-cpufreq.c so that we continuously register/unregister driver... Stats were working fine now.. - Compile cpufreq-stats as module and insert/remove it several times after removing above hack (as that doesn't let linux boot :) ).. @Srivatsa: You also have fairly good idea of cpufreq now, so please give some time to review this :) @Nico: Can you remove the hacky code from IKS tree and test these instead to see if we still have any issues? -- viresh Viresh Kumar (4): cpufreq: stats: handle cpufreq_unregister_driver() and suspend/resume properly cpufreq: stats: remove hotplug notifiers cpufreq: stats: free table and remove sysfs entry in a single routine cpufreq: stats: create sysfs entries when cpufreq_stats is a module drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c | 5 ++ drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c | 109 ++++++++++++++++++---------------------- include/linux/cpufreq.h | 2 + 3 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) -- 1.7.12.rc2.18.g61b472e

[PATCH RFC v2 0/6] ARM64: Add kernel probes(Kprobes) support

by Sandeepa Prabhu

This patchset adds support for kernel probes(kprobes), jump probes(jprobes) and return probes(kretprobes) support for ARM64. Kprobes mechanism make use of software breakpoint and single stepping support available in ARM v8 kernel. This patchset make use of (and dependant upon) dynamic kernel patching feature published in patch series: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/15/891 changes: v1 -> v2 1. Implemented review comments on v1 2. Debug montior hooks implementation is changed to use rwlocks instead of rcu and spinlock. 3. Enabled recursing in kprobes handler for kprobes re-enter support. 4. Re-split the patchset to seperate single-stepping, simulation and kretprobes features. 5. instruction simulation is made independent of 'struct kprobes' 6. Added 'Linaro Copyright' statements in new added files. 7. Used arm64 instead of aarch64 in file names and comments.

[PATCH 1/2] sched/nohz: add debugfs control over sched_tick_max_deferment

by Kevin Hilman

Allow debugfs override of sched_tick_max_deferment in order to ease finding/fixing the remaining issues with full nohz. The value to be written is in jiffies, and -1 means the max deferment is disabled (scheduler_tick_max_deferment() returns KTIME_MAX.)

[PATCH 0/2] ARM64: perf: add support for the perf registers and dwarf unwinding

by Jean Pihet

From: Jean Pihet <jean.pihet(a)newoldbits.com> This patch implements the functions required for the perf registers API, allowing the perf tool to interface kernel register dumps with libunwind in order to provide userspace backtracing. Only the general purpose user space registers are exported, i.e.: PERF_REG_ARM_X0, ... PERF_REG_ARM_X28, PERF_REG_ARM_FP, PERF_REG_ARM_LR, PERF_REG_ARM_SP, PERF_REG_ARM_PC and not the PERF_REG_ARM_V* registers. Dependencies: . if present, libunwind >= 1.1 is needed to prevent a segfault when parsing the dwarf info, . libunwind needs to be configured with --enable-debug-frame. Note: --enable-debug-frame is automatically selected on ARM, NOT on ARM64. The generated perf binary has been tested on ARMv8 (using the foundation model simulator) and x86_64, using the following commands: perf record -g [fp,dwarf] -- <binary> perf report --sort symbol --call-graph --stdio Jean Pihet (2): ARM64: perf: add support for perf registers API ARM64: perf: wire up perf_regs and unwind support arch/arm64/Kconfig | 2 + arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/perf_regs.h | 40 ++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile | 1 + arch/arm64/kernel/perf_regs.c | 29 ++++++++++ tools/perf/arch/arm64/Makefile | 7 +++ tools/perf/arch/arm64/include/perf_regs.h | 88 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/dwarf-regs.c | 81 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/unwind.c | 82 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/perf/config/Makefile | 6 +++ 10 files changed, 337 insertions(+) create mode 100644 arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/perf_regs.h create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kernel/perf_regs.c create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/arm64/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/arm64/include/perf_regs.h create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/dwarf-regs.c create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/unwind.c -- 1.7.11.7
