cpu/hotplug: Cleanup state names

2016-12-25T09:47:44Z

When the state names got added a script was used to add the extra argument to the calls. The script basically converted the state constant to a string, but the cleanup to convert these strings into meaningful ones did not happen. Replace all the useless strings with 'subsys/xxx/yyy:state' strings which are used in all the other places already.

arm64: Allow hw watchpoint of length 3,5,6 and 7

2016-11-18T17:26:14Z

Since, arm64 can support all offset within a double word limit. Therefore, now support other lengths within that range as well. Signed-off-by: Pratyush Anand Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm64: hw_breakpoint: Handle inexact watchpoint addresses

2016-11-18T17:25:50Z

Arm64 hardware does not always report a watchpoint hit address that matches one of the watchpoints set. It can also report an address "near" the watchpoint if a single instruction access both watched and unwatched addresses. There is no straight-forward way, short of disassembling the offending instruction, to map that address back to the watchpoint. Previously, when the hardware reported a watchpoint hit on an address that did not match our watchpoint (this happens in case of instructions which access large chunks of memory such as "stp") the process would enter a loop where we would be continually resuming it (because we did not recognise that watchpoint hit) and it would keep hitting the watchpoint again and again. The tracing process would never get notified of the watchpoint hit. This commit fixes the problem by looking at the watchpoints near the address reported by the hardware. If the address does not exactly match one of the watchpoints we have set, it attributes the hit to the nearest watchpoint we have. This heuristic is a bit dodgy, but I don't think we can do much more, given the hardware limitations.

arm64: Allow hw watchpoint at varied offset from base address

2016-11-18T17:23:17Z

ARM64 hardware supports watchpoint at any double word aligned address. However, it can select any consecutive bytes from offset 0 to 7 from that base address. For example, if base address is programmed as 0x420030 and byte select is 0x1C, then access of 0x420032,0x420033 and 0x420034 will generate a watchpoint exception. Currently, we do not have such modularity. We can only program byte, halfword, word and double word access exception from any base address. This patch adds support to overcome above limitations.

arm64: hw_breakpoint: convert CPU hotplug notifier to new infrastructure

2016-09-01T12:45:51Z

The arm64 hw_breakpoint implementation uses a CPU hotplug notifier to reset the {break,watch}point registers when CPUs come online. This patch converts the code to the new hotplug mechanism, whilst moving the invocation earlier to remove the need to disable IRQs explicitly in the driver (which could cause havok if we trip a watchpoint in an IRQ handler whilst restoring the debug register state).

arm64: hw-breakpoint: Remove superfluous SMP function call

2016-04-14T17:13:03Z

Since commit 1cf4f629d9d2 ("cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to hotplugged cpu") it is ensured that callbacks of CPU_ONLINE and CPU_DOWN_PREPARE are processed on the hotplugged CPU. Due to this SMP function calls are no longer required. Replace smp_call_function_single() with a direct call of hw_breakpoint_reset(). To keep the calling convention, interrupts are explicitly disabled around the call.

perf/core: Set event's default ::overflow_handler()

2016-03-31T08:30:47Z

Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow(). Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler. Initial idea comes from Peter: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing 'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed. is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this. No extra performance overhead is introduced into the hot path because in the original code we still need to read this handler from memory. A conditional branch is avoided so actually we remove some instructions.
