Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar: - Improve Intel uncore PMU support: - Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability enumeration method introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This table is in a well-defined PCI namespace location and is read via MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree. These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter blocks, but fancier counters still need to be enumerated explicitly. - Add Alder Lake support - Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers - Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of 'hybrid' CPUs and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big') and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived) cores. The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU side there's core type dependent PMU functionality. - Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX profiling, by fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic. - Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems - Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool - Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The immediate motivation is to support low-overhead sampling-based race detection for user-space code. The feature consists of the following main changes: - Add thread-only event inheritance via perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits inheritance of events to CLONE_THREAD. - Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec. - Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap, extend siginfo with an u64 ::si_perf, and add the breakpoint information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT. The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the new field can be used to introduce support for other types of metadata passed over siginfo as well. - Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates. * tag 'perf-core-2021-04-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (53 commits) signal, perf: Add missing TRAP_PERF case in siginfo_layout() signal, perf: Fix siginfo_t by avoiding u64 on 32-bit architectures perf/x86: Allow for 8

Pull x86 bus lock detection updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Support for enhanced split lock detection: Newer CPUs provide a second mechanism to detect operations with lock prefix which go accross a cache line boundary. Such operations have to take bus lock which causes a system wide performance degradation when these operations happen frequently. The new mechanism is not using the #AC exception. It triggers #DB and is restricted to operations in user space. Kernel side split lock access can only be detected by the #AC based variant. Contrary to the #AC based mechanism the #DB based variant triggers _after_ the instruction was executed. The mechanism is CPUID enumerated and contrary to the #AC version which is based on the magic TEST_CTRL_MSR and model/family based enumeration on the way to become architectural" * tag 'x86-splitlock-2021-04-26' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: Documentation/admin-guide: Change doc for split_lock_detect parameter x86/traps: Handle #DB for bus lock x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate #DB for bus lock detection

x86/cpu: Add helper function to get the type of the current hybrid CPU

2021-04-19T18:03:23Z

On processors with Intel Hybrid Technology (i.e., one having more than one type of CPU in the same package), all CPUs support the same instruction set and enumerate the same features on CPUID. Thus, all software can run on any CPU without restrictions. However, there may be model-specific differences among types of CPUs. For instance, each type of CPU may support a different number of performance counters. Also, machine check error banks may be wired differently. Even though most software will not care about these differences, kernel subsystems dealing with these differences must know. Add and expose a new helper function get_this_hybrid_cpu_type() to query the type of the current hybrid CPU. The function will be used later in the perf subsystem. The Intel Software Developer's Manual defines the CPU type as 8-bit identifier.

x86/traps: Handle #DB for bus lock

2021-03-28T20:52:15Z

Bus locks degrade performance for the whole system, not just for the CPU that requested the bus lock. Two CPU features "#AC for split lock" and "#DB for bus lock" provide hooks so that the operating system may choose one of several mitigation strategies. #AC for split lock is already implemented. Add code to use the #DB for bus lock feature to cover additional situations with new options to mitigate. split_lock_detect= #AC for split lock #DB for bus lock off Do nothing Do nothing warn Kernel OOPs Warn once per task and Warn once per task and and continues to run. disable future checking When both features are supported, warn in #AC fatal Kernel OOPs Send SIGBUS to user. Send SIGBUS to user When both features are supported, fatal in #AC ratelimit:N Do nothing Limit bus lock rate to N per second in the current non-root user. Default option is "warn". Hardware only generates #DB for bus lock detect when CPL>0 to avoid nested #DB from multiple bus locks while the first #DB is being handled. So no need to handle #DB for bus lock detected in the kernel. #DB for bus lock is enabled by bus lock detection bit 2 in DEBUGCTL MSR while #AC for split lock is enabled by split lock detection bit 29 in TEST_CTRL MSR. Both breakpoint and bus lock in the same instruction can trigger one #DB. The bus lock is handled before the breakpoint in the #DB handler. Delivery of #DB for bus lock in userspace clears DR6[11], which is set by the #DB handler right after reading DR6.

Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of locking fixes and updates: - Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible. - The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the above fallout. seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep cannot validate that the lock is held. This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks. sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that the lock is held. Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has been moved up. Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs which have been addressed already independent of this. While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the seqcount and changing the reader side to block on the lock when a reader detects that a writer is in the write side critical section. - Conversion of seqcount usage sites to associated types and initializers" * tag 'locking-urgent-2020-08-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (25 commits) locking/seqlock, headers: Untangle the spaghetti monster locking, arch/ia64: Reduce header dependencies by moving XTP bits into the new header x86/headers: Remove APIC headers from seqcount: More consistent seqprop names seqcount: Compress SEQCNT_LOCKNAME_ZERO() seqlock: Fold seqcount_LOCKNAME_init() definition seqlock: Fold seqcount_LOCKNAME_t definition seqlock: s/__SEQ_LOCKDEP/__SEQ_LOCK/g hrtimer: Use sequence counter with associated raw spinlock kvm/eventfd: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock userfaultfd: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock NFSv4: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock iocost: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock raid5: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock vfs: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock timekeeping: Use sequence counter with associated raw spinlock xfrm: policy: Use sequence counters with associated lock netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: Use sequence counter with associated rwlock netfilter: conntrack: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock sched: tasks: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock ...
