x86/cpufeature: Add AVX512_4VNNIW and AVX512_4FMAPS features

2016-10-19T15:37:13+00:00

AVX512_4VNNIW  - Vector instructions for deep learning enhanced word
variable precision.
AVX512_4FMAPS - Vector instructions for deep learning floating-point
single precision.

These new instructions are to be used in future Intel Xeon & Xeon Phi
processors. The bits 2&3 of CPUID[level:0x07, EDX] inform that new
instructions are supported by a processor.

The spec can be found in the Intel Software Developer Manual (SDM) or in
the Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference (ISE).

Define new feature flags to enumerate the new instructions in /proc/cpuinfo
accordingly to CPUID bits and add the required xsave extensions which are
required for proper operation.

perf jit: Fix build issue on Ubuntu

2016-10-17T14:25:34+00:00

When building on Ubuntu 16.04, I get the following error:

Makefile:49: *** the openjdk development package appears to me missing, install and try again.  Stop.

The problem is that update-java-alternatives has multiple spaces between
fields, and cut treats each space as a new delimiter:

java-1.8.0-openjdk-ppc64el     1081       /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-ppc64el

Fix this by using awk, which handles this fine.

perf jevents: Handle events including .c and .o

2016-10-17T14:24:18+00:00

This patch helps with Sukadev's vendor event tree where such events can happen.

>From Andi Kleen:
 Any event including a .c/.o/.bpf currently triggers BPF compilation or loading
 and then an error. This can happen for some Intel vendor events, which cannot
 be used.

This patch fixes this problem by forbidding BPF file patch containing '{', '}'
and ',', make sure flex consumes the leading '{', instead of matching it using
a BPF file path.

Tested result:

  $ perf stat -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.cores_c0}' -a -I 1000
  invalid or unsupported event: '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.cores_c0}'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  (as expected, interperted as event)

  $ perf stat -e 'aaa.c' -a -I 1000
  ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory
  (as expected, interpreted as BPF source)

  $ perf stat -e 'aaa.ccc' -a -I 1000
  invalid or unsupported event: 'aaa.ccc'
  (as expected, interpreted as event)

  $ perf stat -e '{aaa.c}' -a -I 1000
  ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory
  event syntax error: '{aaa.c}'
  
  (as expected, interpreted as BPF source)

  $ perf stat -e '{cycles,aaa.c}' -a -I 1000
  ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory

objtool: Skip all "unreachable instruction" warnings for gcov kernels

2016-10-16T07:12:36+00:00

Recently objtool has started reporting a few "unreachable instruction"
warnings when CONFIG_GCOV is enabled for newer versions of GCC.  Usually
this warning means there's some new control flow that objtool doesn't
understand.  But in this case, objtool is correct and the instructions
really are inaccessible.  It's an annoying quirk of gcov, but it's
harmless, so it's ok to just silence the warnings.

With older versions of GCC, it was relatively easy to detect
gcov-specific instructions and to skip any unreachable warnings produced
by them.  But GCC 6 has gotten craftier.

Instead of continuing to play whack-a-mole with gcov, just use a bigger,
more permanent hammer and disable unreachable warnings for the whole
file when gcov is enabled.  This is fine to do because a) unreachable
warnings are usually of questionable value; and b) gcov isn't used for
production kernels and we can relax the checks a bit there.

objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection

2016-10-16T07:12:35+00:00

GCC 6 added a new switch statement jump table optimization which makes
objtool's life harder.  It looks like:

  mov [rodata addr],%reg1
  ... some instructions ...
  jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)

The optimization is quite rare, but objtool still needs to be able to
identify the pattern so that it can follow all possible control flow
paths related to the switch statement.

In order to detect the pattern, objtool starts from the indirect jump
and scans backwards through the function until it finds the first
instruction in the pattern.  If it encounters an unconditional jump
along the way, it stops and considers the pattern to be not found.

As it turns out, unconditional jumps can happen, as long as they are
small forward jumps within the range being scanned.

This fixes the following warnings:

  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x2f4: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0x10f: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
