This avoids a scheduling failure for cases like:
cycles, cycles, instructions, instructions (on Core2)
Which would end up being programmed like:

Because all events will have the same weight.

The current x86 event scheduler fails to resolve scheduling problems
of certain combinations of events and constraints. This happens if the
counter mask of such an event is not a subset of any other counter
mask of a constraint with an equal or higher weight, e.g. constraints
of the AMD family 15h pmu:
counter mask weight
amd_f15_PMC30 0x09 2 <--- overlapping counters
amd_f15_PMC20 0x07 3
amd_f15_PMC53 0x38 3
The scheduler does not find then an existing solution. Here is an
example:
event code counter failure possible solution
0x02E PMC[3,0] 0 3
0x043 PMC[2:0] 1 0
0x045 PMC[2:0] 2 1
0x046 PMC[2:0] FAIL 2
The event scheduler may not select the correct counter in the first
cycle because it needs to know which subsequent events will be
scheduled. It may fail to schedule the events then.
To solve this, we now save the scheduler state of events with
overlapping counter counstraints. If we fail to schedule the events
we rollback to those states and try to use another free counter.
Constraints with overlapping counters are marked with a new introduced
overlap flag. We set the overlap flag for such constraints to give the
scheduler a hint which events to select for counter rescheduling. The
EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macro can be used for this.
Care must be taken as the rescheduling algorithm is O(n!) which will
increase scheduling cycles for an over-commited system dramatically.
The number of such EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macros and its counter
masks must be kept at a minimum. Thus, the current stack is limited to
2 states to limit the number of loops the algorithm takes in the worst
case.
On systems with no overlapping-counter constraints, this
implementation does not increase the loop count compared to the
previous algorithm.
V2:
* Renamed redo -> overlap.
* Reimplementation using perf scheduling helper functions.
V3:
* Added WARN_ON_ONCE() if out of save states.
* Changed function interface of perf_sched_restore_state() to use bool
as return value.

This patch introduces x86 perf scheduler code helper functions. We
need this to later add more complex functionality to support
overlapping counter constraints (next patch).
The algorithm is modified so that the range of weight values is now
generated from the constraints. There shouldn't be other functional
changes.
With the helper functions the scheduler is controlled. There are
functions to initialize, traverse the event list, find unused counters
etc. The scheduler keeps its own state.
V3:
* Added macro for_each_set_bit_cont().
* Changed functions interfaces of perf_sched_find_counter() and
perf_sched_next_event() to use bool as return value.
* Added some comments to make code better understandable.
V4:
* Fix broken event assignment if weight of the first event is not
wmin (perf_sched_init()).

On AMD family 10h we see firmware bug messages like the following:
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 6, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x10400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 6, IBS interrupt offset 0 not available (MSRC001103A=0x0000000000000100)
[Firmware Bug]: using offset 1 for IBS interrupts
[Firmware Bug]: workaround enabled for IBS LVT offset
perf: AMD IBS detected (0x00000007)
We always see this, since the offsets are not assigned by the BIOS for
this family. Force LVT offset assignment in this case. If the OS
assignment fails, fallback to BIOS settings and try to setup this.
The fallback to BIOS settings weakens the family check since
force_ibs_eilvt_setup() may fail e.g. in case of virtual machines.
But setup may still succeed if BIOS offsets are correct.
Other families don't have a workaround implemented that assigns LVT
offsets. It's ok, to drop calling force_ibs_eilvt_setup() for that
families.
With the patch the [Firmware Bug] messages vanish. We see now:
IBS: LVT offset 1 assigned
perf: AMD IBS detected (0x00000007)

have sane generic events utilizing them, re-enable the raw access to

Note that it doesn't matter if you use event 0x1b7 or 0x1bb to specify
an offcore event, either one works and neither guarantees you'll end

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.
The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.
- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.
There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.
Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.
There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.
For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

When compiling an i386_defconfig kernel with
gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.i686, I noticed a warning about the asm operand
for test_bit in kprobes' can_boost. I discovered that this
caused only the first long of twobyte_is_boostable[] to be
output.
Jakub filed and fixed gcc PR50571 to correct the warning and
this output issue. But to solve it for less current gcc, we can
make kprobes' twobyte_is_boostable[] volatile, and it won't be
optimized out.

I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode
update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode"
field to /proc/cpuinfo.
The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks
together with the other CPUID model information.
I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver,
it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode
is updated it fills in the new values too.
I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it
being optimized away when the result is not used.
This turns out to clean up further code which already got this
information manually. This is done in followon patches.

Requesting the microcode from userspace *every time* when onlining CPUs
(during a CPU hotplug operation) is unnecessary. Thus, ensure that
once the kernel gets the microcode after booting, it is not freed nor
invalidated when a CPU goes offline, so that it can be reused when that
CPU comes back online, without requesting userspace for it again. As a
result, the CPU hotplug operations become faster as well.

While looking at the code, apic_id sometime is referred to index
of ioapic, but sometime is used for phys apic id. and some even
use apic for real apic id. It is very confusing.
So try to limit apic_id or ioapic_id to be real apic id for
ioapic, and use ioapic_idx for ioapic index in the array.
-v2: Suggested by Ingo, use ioapic_idx consistently, instead of ioapic

Split the intr-remap code out into setup_ir_ioapic_entry().
Also pass struct io_apic_irq_attr * instead of 5 parameters

At last in setup_ir_ioapic_entry() we don't need to panic.

Is caused by commit 3ae36655 ("x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add

yet as UML relies on some rather fragile SIGSEGV semantics.

Previous patches allow the NMI subsystem to process multipe NMI events
in one NMI. As previously discussed this can cause issues when an event
triggered another NMI but is processed in the current NMI. This causes the
next NMI to go unprocessed and become an 'unknown' NMI.
To handle this, we first have to flag whether or not the NMI handler handled
more than one event or not. If it did, then there exists a chance that
the next NMI might be already processed. Once the NMI is flagged as a
candidate to be swallowed, we next look for a back-to-back NMI condition.
This is determined by looking at the %rip from pt_regs. If it is the same
as the previous NMI, it is assumed the cpu did not have a chance to jump
back into a non-NMI context and execute code and instead handled another NMI.
If both of those conditions are true then we will swallow any unknown NMI.
There still exists a chance that we accidentally swallow a real unknown NMI,
but for now things seem better.
An optimization has also been added to the nmi notifier rountine. Because x86
can latch up to one NMI while currently processing an NMI, we don't have to
worry about executing _all_ the handlers in a standalone NMI. The idea is
if multiple NMIs come in, the second NMI will represent them. For those
back-to-back NMI cases, we have the potentail to drop NMIs. Therefore only
execute all the handlers in the second half of a detected back-to-back NMI.
