parisc: Fix too large frame size warnings

2017-09-22T17:46:07+00:00

The parisc architecture has larger stack frames than most other
architectures on 32-bit kernels.

Increase the maximum allowed stack frame to 1280 bytes for parisc to
avoid warnings in the do_sys_poll() and pat_memconfig() functions.

lib: add test module for CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL

2017-09-09T01:26:49+00:00

Add a test module that allows testing that CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL works
correctly, at least that it can catch invalid calls to virt_to_phys()
against the non-linear kernel virtual address map.

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
   CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.

   The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
   implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
   Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
   the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
   dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.

   The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
   (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
   profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
   there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
   with early versions. (knock on wood!)

   But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
   measurably:

   With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
   instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
   .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
   utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
   kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
   roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
   a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.

   The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
   stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
   config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.

   Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
   - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
   it the default unwinder on x86.

   See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

 - Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
   proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
   reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
   its removal. (Juergen Gross)

 - Clean up and fix FSGS related functionality (Andy Lutomirski)

 - Clean up IO access APIs (Andy Shevchenko)

 - Enhance the symbol namespace (Jiri Slaby)

kernel/watchdog: Prevent false positives with turbo modes

2017-08-18T10:35:02+00:00

The hardlockup detector on x86 uses a performance counter based on unhalted
CPU cycles and a periodic hrtimer. The hrtimer period is about 2/5 of the
performance counter period, so the hrtimer should fire 2-3 times before the
performance counter NMI fires. The NMI code checks whether the hrtimer
fired since the last invocation. If not, it assumess a hard lockup.

The calculation of those periods is based on the nominal CPU
frequency. Turbo modes increase the CPU clock frequency and therefore
shorten the period of the perf/NMI watchdog. With extreme Turbo-modes (3x
nominal frequency) the perf/NMI period is shorter than the hrtimer period
which leads to false positives.

A simple fix would be to shorten the hrtimer period, but that comes with
the side effect of more frequent hrtimer and softlockup thread wakeups,
which is not desired.

Implement a low pass filter, which checks the perf/NMI period against
kernel time. If the perf/NMI fires before 4/5 of the watchdog period has
elapsed then the event is ignored and postponed to the next perf/NMI.

That solves the problem and avoids the overhead of shorter hrtimer periods
and more frequent softlockup thread wakeups.

locking/lockdep: Make CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS truly non-interactive

2017-08-17T10:49:40+00:00

The syntax to turn Kconfig options into non-interactive ones is to not offer
interactive prompt help texts. Remove them.

locking/lockdep: Rename CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETE to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS

2017-08-17T09:38:55+00:00

'complete' is an adjective and LOCKDEP_COMPLETE sounds like 'lockdep is complete',
so pick a better name that uses a noun.

locking/lockdep: Make CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE part of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING

2017-08-17T09:38:54+00:00

Crossrelease support added the CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETE
options. It makes little sense to enable them when PROVE_LOCKING is disabled.

Make them non-interative options and part of PROVE_LOCKING to simplify the UI.
