This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism.
It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The
unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each
timer tick.
This patch solves this problem and also separates:
- unthrottling
- multiplexing
- frequency-mode period adjustments
Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick.
This third version of the patch is based on my original patch +
PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87).
At each timer tick, for each context:
- if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events
- if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods
- if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate)
We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling
period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same
rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1
but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs).
We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the
same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in
frequency mode, we scan the events only once.
We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow().
There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate
because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right
place.
The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods,
frequency mode, overcommitted PMU.
On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
2000
We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000):
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10
$ perf report -D | tail -21

TOTAL events: 80086

A device node pointer is added to generic pm domain structure to associate
the domain with a node in the device tree. The platform code parses the
device tree to find available nodes representing the generic power domain,
instantiates the available domains and initializes them by calling
pm_genpd_init().
Nodes representing the devices include a phandle of the power domain to
which it belongs. As these devices get instantiated, the driver code
checkes for availability of a power domain phandle, converts the phandle
to a device node and uses the new pm_genpd_of_add_device() api to
associate the device with a power domain.
pm_genpd_of_add_device() runs through its list of registered power domains
and matches the OF node of the domain with the one specified as the
parameter. If a match is found, the device is associated with the matched
domain.

There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature
or CPU. Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic
distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often
doesn't work.
This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid
information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number
and also based on CPUID feature bits.
For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated
CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS
which relies on fast CRC.
Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU.
Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until
one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this.
It works with existing udev without any changes. The code
exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs
that can be matched by udev's pattern matching.
This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to
handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded
in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing
that would require changing udev.
Another issue is that udev will happily load all drivers that match,
there is currently no nice way to stop a specific driver from
being loaded if it's not needed (e.g. if you don't need fast CRC)
But there are not that many cpu specific drivers around and they're
all not that bloated, so this isn't a particularly serious issue.
Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu
sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure
needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers.
This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices,
which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies
that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this.
This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions
in followups.
Thanks to Kay for helping with some sysfs magic.

One of the most important jobs of sysctl is to export network stack
tunables. Several of those tunables are per network device. In
several instances people are running with 1000+ network devices in
there network stacks, which makes the simple per directory linked list
in sysctl a scaling bottleneck. Replace O(N^2) sysctl insertion and
lookup times with O(NlogN) by using an rbtree to index the sysctl
directories.

At 10,000 dummy devices the bottleneck becomes the time to add and
remove the files under /proc/sys/net/dev_snmp6. I have commented

and taken measurments of creating and destroying 100,000 dummies to

Piecing together directories by looking first in one directory

Replace the sysctl wide list of roots with autogenerated

This simplifies sysctl directory reading and lookups as now

Simplify the code and the sysctl semantics by autogenerating
sysctl directories when a sysctl table is registered that needs
the directories and autodeleting the directories when there are
no more sysctl tables registered that need them.
Autogenerating directories keeps sysctl tables from depending
on each other, removing all of the arcane register/unregister
ordering constraints and makes it impossible to get the order
wrong when reigsering and unregistering sysctl tables.
Autogenerating directories yields one unique entity that dentries
can point to, retaining the current effective use of the dcache.
Add struct ctl_dir as the type of these new autogenerated
directories.
The attached_by and attached_to fields in ctl_table_header are
removed as they are no longer needed.
The child field in ctl_table is no longer needed by the core of
the sysctl code. ctl_table.child can be removed once all of the
existing users have been updated.

Split the registration of a complex ctl_table array which may have
arbitrary numbers of directories (->child != NULL) and tables of files
into a series of simpler registrations that only register tables of files.
Graphically:
register('dir', { + file-a
+ file-b
+ subdir1
+ file-c
+ subdir2
+ file-d
+ file-e })
is transformed into:
wrapper->subheaders[0] = register('dir', {file1-a, file1-b})
wrapper->subheaders[1] = register('dir/subdir1', {file-c})
wrapper->subheaders[2] = register('dir/subdir2', {file-d, file-e})
return wrapper
This guarantees that __register_sysctl_table will only see a simple
ctl_table array with all entries having (->child == NULL).
Care was taken to pass the original simple ctl_table arrays to
__register_sysctl_table whenever possible.
This change is derived from a similar patch written

Now that binary paths have been banished into the real of backwards
compatibility in kernel/binary_sysctl.c where they can be safely
ignored there is no longer a need to use struct ctl_path to represent
path names when registering ctl_tables.
Start the transition to using normal char * strings to represent
pathnames when registering sysctl tables. Normal strings are easier
to deal with both in the internal sysctl implementation and for
programmers registering sysctl tables.
__register_sysctl_paths is turned into a backwards compatibility wrapper

After adding devpts multiple-insrances sysctl kernel.pty.max limit pty count for
each devpts instance independently, while kernel.pty.nr shows total pty count.
This patch restores sysctl kernel.pty.max as global limit (4096 by default),
adds pty reseve for main devpts (mounted without "newinstance" argument),
and new sysctl to tune it: kernel.pty.reserve (1024 by default)
Also it adds devpts mount option "max=%d" to limit pty count for each devpts
instance independently. (by default NR_UNIX98_PTY_MAX == 2^20)
Thus devpts instances in containers cannot eat up all available pty even if we didn't
set any limits, while with "max" argument we can adjust limits more precisely.
Plus, now open("/dev/ptmx") return -ENOSPC in case lack of pty indexes,
this is more informative than -EIO.

devpts_get_tty() returns non-null only for inodes on devpts, but there is no
inodes for master-devices, /dev/ptmx (/dev/pts/ptmx) is the only way to open them.
Thus we can completely forbid lookup for master-devices and eliminate that hack in
tty_init_dev() because tty_open() will get EIO from tty_driver_lookup_tty().

This patch changes event message behaviour to send only updated records
instead of whole list. This fixes bug on which userspace receives non-actual
data in case multiple events occur in row.

lineno:24 allows files with 4 million lines, an insane file-size, even
for never-to-get-in-tree machine generated code. Reduce this to 18
bits, which still allows 256k lines. This is still insanely big, but
its not raving mad.

Change describe_flags() to emit '=[pmflt_]+' for current callsite
flags, or just '=_' when they're disabled. Having '=' in output
allows a more selective grep expression; in contrast '-' may appear
in filenames, line-ranges, and format-strings. '=' also has better
mnemonics, saying; "the current setting is equal to <flags>".
This allows grep "=_" <dbgfs>/dynamic_debug/control to see disabled
callsites while avoiding the many occurrences of " = " seen in format
strings.
Enlarge flagsbufs to handle additional flag char, and alter
ddebug_parse_flags() to allow flags=0, so that user can turn off all
debug flags via:
~# echo =_ > <dbgfs>/dynamic_debug/control

If CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is defined, honor it over DEBUG, so that
pr_debug()s are controllable, instead of always-on. When DEBUG is
also defined, change _DPRINTK_FLAGS_DEFAULT to enable printing by
default.
Also adding _DPRINTK_FLAGS_INCL_MODNAME would be nice, but there are
numerous cases of pr_debug(NAME ": ...), which would result in double
printing of module-name. So defer this until things settle.

Currently any enabled dynamic-debug flag on a pr_debug callsite will
enable printing, even if _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT is off. Checking print
flag directly allows "-p" to disable callsites without fussing with
other flags, so the following disables everything, without altering
flags user may have set:
echo -p > $DBGFS/dynamic_debug/control

We already extract some basic info but it's incomplete, reads info
about the first core only. Used data structure doesn't allow easy
adding of more cores.
This patch adds new struct and array for storing power info. The plan
is to: switch all extractors (including the ones using NVRAM) to new
struct, switch drivers, then deprecate and finally drop old SSB fields.
