KVM: PPC: book3s_pr: Simplify transitions between virtual and real mode
This simplifies the way that the book3s_pr makes the transition to
real mode when entering the guest. We now call kvmppc_entry_trampoline
(renamed from kvmppc_rmcall) in the base kernel using a normal function
call instead of doing an indirect call through a pointer in the vcpu.
If kvm is a module, the module loader takes care of generating a
trampoline as it does for other calls to functions outside the module.
kvmppc_entry_trampoline then disables interrupts and jumps to
kvmppc_handler_trampoline_enter in real mode using an rfi[d].
That then uses the link register as the address to return to
(potentially in module space) when the guest exits.
This also simplifies the way that we call the Linux interrupt handler
when we exit the guest due to an external, decrementer or performance
monitor interrupt. Instead of turning on the MMU, then deciding that
we need to call the Linux handler and turning the MMU back off again,
we now go straight to the handler at the point where we would turn the
MMU on. The handler will then return to the virtual-mode code
(potentially in the module).
Along the way, this moves the setting and clearing of the HID5 DCBZ32
bit into real-mode interrupts-off code, and also makes sure that
we clear the MSR[RI] bit before loading values into SRR0/1.
The net result is that we no longer need any code addresses to be
stored in vcpu->arch.

Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to

In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and
trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra
formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other
userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar

the cleanup attempts to free it, the reference count is zero and a WARN is
generated. The same CPM mode check used in the initialize is applied to the
free as well.
Tested on 2.6.33 with the previous spi_mpc8xxx driver. The renamed
spi-fsl-spi driver looks to have the same problem.

perf symbols: Fix issue with binaries using 16-bytes buildids (v2)
Buildid can vary in size. According to the man page of ld, buildid can
be 160 bits (sha1) or 128 bits (md5, uuid). Perf assumes buildid size of
20 bytes (160 bits) regardless. When dealing with md5 buildids, it would
thus read more than needed and that would cause mismatches and samples
without symbols.
This patch fixes this by taking into account the actual buildid size as
encoded int he section header. The leftover bytes are also cleared.
This second version fixes a minor issue with the memset() base position.

perf tool: Fix endianness handling of u32 data in samples
Currently, analyzing PPC data files on x86 the cpu field is always 0 and
the tid and pid are backwards. For example, analyzing a PPC file on PPC
the pid/tid fields show:
rsyslogd 1210/1212
and analyzing the same PPC file using an x86 perf binary shows:
rsyslogd 1212/1210
The problem is that the swap_op method for samples is
perf_event__all64_swap which assumes all elements in the sample_data
struct are u64s. cpu, tid and pid are u32s and need to be handled
individually. Given that the swap is done before the sample is parsed,
the simplest solution is to undo the 64-bit swap of those elements when
the sample is parsed and do the proper swap.
The RAW data field is generic and perf cannot have programmatic knowledge
of how to treat that data. Instead a warning is given to the user.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard for providing a data file for a mult-CPU
PPC system so I could verify the fix for the CPU fields.
v3 -> v4:
- fixed use of WARN_ONCE
v2 -> v3:
- used WARN_ONCE for message regarding raw data
- removed struct wrapper around union
- fixed whitespace issues
v1 -> v2:
- added a union for undoing the byte-swap on u64 and redoing swap on
u32's to address compiler errors (see git commit
65014ab3)

perf sort: Fix symbol sort output by separating unresolved samples by type
I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the
hypervisor:
...
60.20% [H] 0x33d43c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted
this.
The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown
bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the
real picture:
...
57.11% [.] 0x80fbf63c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
0.65% [H] 0x33d43c
So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile
suggested.
I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows
multiple entries for the unknown bucket:
...
16.65% [.] 0x6cd3a8
7.25% [.] 0x422460
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.82% [.] 0x532908
2.64% [.] 0x36b538
0.94% [H] 0x8000000000e132a4
0.82% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0
This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On
one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved
samples sym is NULL so we match:
if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym)
return 0;
On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when
comparing against a symbol:
ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip;
ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip;
This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we
can't merge them all.
If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket
and the output makes more sense:
...
39.12% [.] 0x36b538
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string

perf record: Create events initially disabled and enable after init
perf-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide
collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's
initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads().
For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like
syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured
frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger
systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading).
perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events
disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.

The code in tpm_atmel.h supports PPC64 (using the device tree and ioremap())
and "anything else" (using ioport_map()). However, ioportmap() is only
available on platforms that set HAS_IOPORT.
Although PC64 seems to have HAS_IOPORT, a "depends on HAS_IOPORT" should work,
but I think it's better to expose the special PPC64 handling explicit using
"depends on PPC64 || HAS_IOPORT".

zorro: Defer device_register() until all devices have been identified
As the Amiga Zorro II address space is limited to 8.5 MiB and Zorro
devices can contain only one BAR, several Amiga Zorro II expansion
boards (mainly graphics cards) contain multiple Zorro devices: a small
one for the control registers and one (or more) for the graphics memory.
The conversion of cirrusfb to the new driver framework introduced a
regression: the driver contains a zorro_driver for the first Zorro
device, and uses the (old) zorro_find_device() call to find the second
Zorro device.
However, as the Zorro core calls device_register() as soon as a Zorro
device is identified, it may not have identified the second Zorro device
belonging to the same physical Zorro expansion card. Hence cirrusfb
could no longer find the second part of the Picasso II graphics card,
causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Defer the registration of Zorro devices with the driver framework until
all Zorro devices have been identified to fix this.
Note that the alternative solution (modifying cirrusfb to register a
zorro_driver for all Zorro devices belonging to a graphics card, instead
of only for the first one, and adding a synchronization mechanism to
defer initialization until all have been found), is not an option, as on
some cards one device may be optional (e.g. the second bank of 2 MiB of
graphics memory on the Picasso IV in Zorro II mode).

XZ: Fix incorrect XZ_BUF_ERROR
xz_dec_run() could incorrectly return XZ_BUF_ERROR if all of the
following was true:
- The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect and only provides
that much output space.
- When the last output bytes are decoded, the caller-provided input
buffer ends right before the LZMA2 end of payload marker. So LZMA2
won't provide more output anymore, but it won't know it yet and thus
won't return XZ_STREAM_END yet.
- A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any unfiltered bytes in the
temp buffer. This can happen with any BCJ filter, but in practice
it's more likely with filters other than the x86 BCJ.
This fixes <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735408> where
Squashfs thinks that a valid file system is corrupt.
This also fixes a similar bug in single-call mode where the uncompressed
size of a block using BCJ + LZMA2 was 0 bytes and caller provided no
output space. Many empty .xz files don't contain any blocks and thus
don't trigger this bug.
This also tweaks a closely related detail: xz_dec_bcj_run() could call
xz_dec_lzma2_run() to decode into temp buffer when it was known to be
useless. This was harmless although it wasted a minuscule number of CPU
cycles.

I'm a _bit_ unhappy that this interface counts in hugetlbfs page sizes

figure out how many _bytes_ "dirty=1" means, you must first know the
hugetlbfs page size. That's easier said than done especially if you

This patch reverses the changes in the patch found here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=

The value of hdrlen includes the size of both the 2-byte PPP protocol
field and the 2- or 4-byte multilink header (2+4=6 for long sequence
numbers, 2+2=4 for short sequence numbers). Section 2 of RFC1661 says
that the MRU that is negotiated (i.e., the MTU of the sending system)
includes only the PPP payload but not the protocol field, thus the
correct MTU should be the link's MTU minus the multilink header (mtu -
(hdrlen-2)).
The incorrect calculation causes Linux to fragment packets to a size two
bytes smaller than the allowed MTU. While not technically illegal, this
behaviour confounds MRU-tuning to avoid PPP-layer fragmentation.
