This patch is a rework of the hwsampler oprofile implementation that has been applied recently. Now there are less non-architectural changes. The only changes are: * introduction of oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample(), and * removal of section attributes of oprofile_timer_init/_exit(). To setup hwsampler for oprofile we need to modify start()/stop() callbacks and additional hwsampler control files in oprofilefs. We do not reinitialize the timer or hwsampler mode by restarting calling init/exit() anymore, instead hwsampler_running is used to switch the mode directly in oprofile_hwsampler_start/_stop(). For locking reasons there is also hwsampler_file that reflects the value in oprofilefs. The overall diffstat of the oprofile s390 hwsampler implemenation shows the low impact to non-architectural code: arch/Kconfig | 3 + arch/s390/Kconfig | 1 + arch/s390/oprofile/Makefile | 2 +- arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler.c | 1256 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler.h | 113 +++ arch/s390/oprofile/hwsampler_files.c | 162 +++++ arch/s390/oprofile/init.c | 6 +- drivers/oprofile/cpu_buffer.c | 24 +- drivers/oprofile/timer_int.c | 4 +- include/linux/oprofile.h | 7 + 10 files changed, 1567 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) Acked-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to initialize and use System z's hardware sampling. The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup succeeded: A new directory for hardware sampling based files /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/ The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler to modify the actual sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages) /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks The following files are read only and show the possible minimum sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval the possible maximum sampling rate /dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel oops.

This adds support for hardware based sampling on System z processors (models z10 and up). System z's hardware sampling is described in detail in: SA23-2260-01 "The Load-Program-Parameter and CPU-Measurement Facilities" The patch introduces - support for System z's hardware sampler in OProfile's kernel module - it adds functions that control all hardware sampling related operations as: - checking if hardware sampling feature is available, i.e.: on System z models z10 and up, in LPAR mode only, and authorised during LPAR activation - allocating memory for the hardware sampling feature - starting/stopping hardware sampling All functions required to start and stop hardware sampling have to be invoked by the oprofile kernel module as provided by the other patches of this patch set. In case hardware based sampling cannot be setup standard timer based sampling is used by OProfile.

This patch introduces a new oprofile sample add function (oprofile_add_ext_hw_sample) that can also take task_struct as an argument, which is used by the hwsampler kernel module when copying hardware samples to OProfile buffers.

Always allow backtraces when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU isn't present. Restores functionality originally introduced in commit 1b7b5698 ("oprofile: Always allow backtraces on ARM") by Richard Purdie. It is not that obvious, but there is now only one oprofile_arch_init() function. So the .backtrace callback is available also in timer mode. Implemented by removing code and using stubs for oprofile_perf_{init, exit} provided by <linux/oprofile.h>. This allows cleaning of other architecture specific implementations too.

After changing the p2m mapping to a tree by commit 58e05027 xen: convert p2m to a 3 level tree and trying to boot a DomU with 615MB of memory, the following crash was observed in the dump: kernel direct mapping tables up to 26f00000 @ 1ec4000-1fff000 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<c0107397>] xen_set_pte+0x27/0x60 *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000 Adding further debug statements showed that when trying to set up pfn=0x26700 the returned mapping was invalid. pfn=0x266ff calling set_pte(0xc1fe77f8, 0x6b3003) pfn=0x26700 calling set_pte(0xc1fe7800, 0x3) Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that there is other code handling the extra memory. When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not initialized in that case, things go badly wrong. I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory assignments all over the range.
