2013-11-06pvclock: detect watchdog reset at pvclock readMarcelo Tosatti
Implement reset of kernel watchdogs at pvclock read time. This avoids adding special code to every watchdog. This is possible for watchdogs which measure time based on sched_clock() or ktime_get() variants. Suggested by Don Zickus.

2013-11-06x86/cpu: Always print SMP information in /proc/cpuinfoHATAYAMA Daisuke
Currently show_cpuinfo_core() displays cpu core information only if the number of threads per a whole cores is 2 or larger. However, this condition doesn't care about the number of sockets. For example, this condition doesn't hold on systems with two logical cpus consisting of two sockets and a single core on each socket - yet the topology information would be interesting to see in that case as well. I don't know whether or not there are processors in real world by which such configurations are possible, but at least on vitual machine environments, such configuration can occur, typically when no explicit SMP information is provided in advance. For example, on qemu/KVM, SMP information is specified via -smp command-line option, more specifically, its syntax is: -smp n[,cores=cores][,threads=threads][,sockets=sockets][,maxcpus=maxcpus] If this is not specified, qemu tells configuration with n-sockets, 1-core and 1-thread to the guest machine, on which guest, MP information is not displayed in /proc/cpuinfo. I saw this situation on VMWare guest environment, too. To fix this issue, this patch simply removes the condition because this information is useful even if there's only 1 thread.

2013-10-29perf/x86: Fix NMI measurementsPeter Zijlstra
OK, so what I'm actually seeing on my WSM is that sched/clock.c is 'broken' for the purpose we're using it for. What triggered it is that my WSM-EP is broken :-( [ 0.001000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT [ 0.002000] tsc: Detected 2533.715 MHz processor [ 0.500180] TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#6]: [ 0.505197] Measured 3 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock. [ 0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+ should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems. This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick, clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu. While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events just fine on an otherwise idle cpu. So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually don't last nearly that long: <idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter <-do_nmi ... <idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990 So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees ~27us, but we measure ~1ms !! Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually fix it.

2013-10-26x86/cpu: Track legacy CPU model data only on 32-bit kernelsJan Beulich
struct cpu_dev's c_models is only ever set inside CONFIG_X86_32 conditionals (or code that's being built for 32-bit only), so there's no use of reserving the (empty) space for the model names in a 64-bit kernel. Similarly, c_size_cache is only used in the #else of a CONFIG_X86_64 conditional, so reserving space for (and in one case even initializing) that field is pointless for 64-bit kernels too. While moving both fields to the end of the structure, I also noticed that: - the c_models array size was one too small, potentially causing table_lookup_model() to return garbage on Intel CPUs (intel.c's instance was lacking the sentinel with family being zero), so the patch bumps that by one, - c_models' vendor sub-field was unused (and anyway redundant with the base structure's c_x86_vendor field), so the patch deletes it. Also rename the legacy fields so that their legacy nature stands out and comment their declarations.

2013-10-24of/irq: Rename of_irq_map_* functions to of_irq_parse_*Grant Likely
The OF irq handling code has been overloading the term 'map' to refer to both parsing the data in the device tree and mapping it to the internal linux irq system. This is probably because the device tree does have the concept of an 'interrupt-map' function for translating interrupt references from one node to another, but 'map' is still confusing when the primary purpose of some of the functions are to parse the DT data. This patch renames all the of_irq_map_* functions to of_irq_parse_* which makes it clear that there is a difference between the parsing phase and the mapping phase. Kernel code can make use of just the parsing or just the mapping support as needed by the subsystem. The patch was generated mechanically with a handful of sed commands.

2013-10-15KVM: Enable pvspinlock after jump_label_init() to avoid VM hangRaghavendra K T
We use jump label to enable pv-spinlock. With the changes in (442e0973e927 Merge branch 'x86/jumplabel'), the jump label behaviour has changed that would result in eventual hang of the VM since we would end up in a situation where slow path locks would halt the vcpus but we will not be able to wakeup the vcpu by lock releaser using unlock kick. Similar problem in Xen and more detailed description is available in a945928ea270 (xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init() has executed) This patch splits kvm_spinlock_init to separate jump label changes with pvops patching and also make jump label enabling after jump_label_init().

The code that gets the local APIC timer frequency from the hypervisor rather depends on there being a local APIC. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1381444224-3303-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
2013-10-10x86, hyperv: Get the local APIC timer frequency from the hypervisorK. Y. Srinivasan
Hyper-V supports a mechanism for retrieving the local APIC frequency. Use this and bypass the calibration code in the kernel . This would allow us to boot the Linux kernel as a "modern VM" on Hyper-V where many of the legacy devices (such as PIT) are not emulated. I would like to thank Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de>, Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> and H. Peter Anvin <h.peter.anvin@intel.com> for their help in this effort. In this version of the patch, I have addressed Jan's comments. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
