Oprofile is currently broken on systems running with NOHZ enabled. A maximum of 1 tick is accounted via the timer_hook if a cpu sleeps for a longer period of time. This does bad things to the percentages in the profiler output. To solve this problem convert oprofile to use a restarting hrtimer instead of the timer_hook.

During switching virtual counters there is access to perfctr msrs. If the counter is not available this fails due to an invalid address. This patch fixes this. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

Multiple virtual counters share one physical counter. The reservation of virtual counters fails due to duplicate allocation of the same counter. The counters are already reserved. Thus, virtual counter reservation may removed at all. This also makes the code easier. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance counter. There is a warning in the code for this case. The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the desired event by editing the /usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact your hardware or BIOS vendor.

IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic op counter value with each sample. This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value. There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt). The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory system. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for pseudo-random number generation for IBS. For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs. The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior. The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX), but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS. The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature (ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles. In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current opcontrol is compatible. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations (especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is better to remove the check.

The commit 1155de47 ring-buffer: Make it generally available already made ring-buffer available without the TRACING option enabled. This patch removes the TRACING dependency from oprofile. Fixes also oprofile configuration on ia64. The patch also applies to the 2.6.32-stable kernel.

If the regulator constraints are empty and there is no voltage reported then nothing will be added to the text displayed for the constraints, leading to random stack data being printed. This is unlikely to happen for practical regulators since most will at least report a voltage but should still be fixed.

This patch solves a corner case during allocation which occurs if both metadata (indirect) and data blocks are required but there is an obstacle in the filesystem (e.g. a resource group header or another allocated block) such that when the allocation is requested only enough blocks for the metadata are returned. By changing the exit condition of this loop, we ensure that a minimum of one data block will always be returned. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

When reserving stack space for a new process, make sure we're not attempting to expand the stack by more than rlimit allows. This fixes a bug caused by b6a2fea3 ("mm: variable length argument support") and unmasked by fc63cf23 ("exec: setup_arg_pages() fails to return errors"). This bug means that when limiting the stack to less the 20*PAGE_SIZE (eg. 80K on 4K pages or 'ulimit -s 79') all processes will be killed before they start. This is particularly bad with 64K pages, where a ulimit below 1280K will kill every process. To test, do: 'ulimit -s 15; ls' before and after the patch is applied. Before it's applied, 'ls' should be killed. After the patch is applied, 'ls' should no longer be killed. A stack limit of 15KB since it's small enough to trigger 20*PAGE_SIZE. Also 15KB not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, which is a trickier case to handle correctly with this code. 4K pages should be fine to test with.
