On Nehalem CPUs the retired branch-misses event can be completely bogus,
when there are no branch-misses occuring. When there are a lot of branch
misses then the count is pretty accurate. Still, this leaves us with an
event that over-counts a lot.
Detect this erratum and work it around by using BR_MISP_EXEC.ANY events.
These will also count speculated branches but still it's a lot more
precise in practice than the architectural event.

Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged
without user-space tool support to the functionality:
|
| The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
| user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
| and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
|
Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an
extension to perf's raw event syntax:
|
| Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional
| parameters. These can be appended after a ':'.
|
| For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
|
| perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1
|
| Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0
| that measures any access to DRAM on another socket.
|
But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not
be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get
access to useful hardware functionality.
The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via
generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific
CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some
model specific quirky hexa number.
We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events,
and it's all very extensible.
"Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various
parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems.
We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the
fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate
generalization category.
That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access
profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like:
perf record -e dram ./myapp
perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp
... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM
accesses.
These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that
have comparable PMU features.
( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more
sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around
similarly simple usecases. )
Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they
are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented
in this commit:
e994d7d23a: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere
But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events
to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented
for these hardware event features.
( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be
supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally
useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely
*not* such a category so generalization must be done first. )
Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended
to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above
e994d7d23a commit, not mentioned in the changelog.
As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable
the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released
kernel and becomes an ABI.
Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users
are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.

Andreas Herrmann reported that 7d6b46707f ("x86, NUMA: Fix fakenuma
boot failure") causes certain physical NUMA topologies (for example
AMD Magny-Cours) to move sibling cpus to a single node when in reality
they are in separate domains.
This may result in some nodes being completely void of cpus, which
doesn't accurately represent the correct topology. The system will
boot, but will have suboptimal NUMA performance.
This commit was intended as a fix for NUMA emulation, but should
not cause a regression for real NUMA machines as a side effect.
( There will be a separate fix for the numa-debug code, which
will not affect physical topologies. )

Device suspend/resume infrastructure is used not only by the suspend
and hibernate code in kernel/power, but also by APM, Xen and the
kexec jump feature. However, commit 40dc166cb5
(PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM)
failed to add syscore_suspend() and syscore_resume() calls to that
code, which generally leads to breakage when the features in question
are used.
To fix this problem, add the missing syscore_suspend() and
syscore_resume() calls to arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c, kernel/kexec.c
and drivers/xen/manage.c.

This patch changes the allocation of the GART aperture to
enforce only natural alignment instead of aligning it on
512MB. This big alignment was used to force the GART
aperture to be over 512MB. This is enforced by using 512MB
as the lower-bound address in the allocation range.

The divede by zero is caused by the following line,
group->cpu_power==0:
kernel/sched_fair.c::update_sg_lb_stats()
/* Adjust by relative CPU power of the group */
sgs->avg_load = (sgs->group_load * SCHED_LOAD_SCALE) / group->cpu_power;
This regression was caused by commit e23bba6044 ("x86-64, NUMA: Unify
emulated distance mapping") because it changes cpu -> node
mapping in the process of dropping fake_physnodes().
old) all cpus are assinged node 0
now) cpus are assigned round robin
(the logic is implemented by numa_init_array())
Note: The change in behavior only happens if the system doesn't
have neither ACPI SRAT table nor AMD northbridge NUMA
information.
Round robin assignment doesn't work because init_numa_sched_groups_power()
assumes all logical cpus in the same physical cpu share the same node
(then it only accounts for group_first_cpu()), and the simple round robin
breaks the above assumption.
Thus, this patch implements a reassignment of node-ids if buggy firmware
or numa emulation makes wrong cpu node map. Tt enforce all logical cpus
in the same physical cpu share the same node.

The old code only flushed a DTE or a domain TLB before it is
actually used by the IOMMU driver. While this is efficient
and works when done right it is more likely to introduce new
bugs when changing code (which happened in the past).
This patch adds code to flush all DTEs and all domain TLBs
in each IOMMU right after it is enabled (at boot and after
resume). This reduces the complexity of the driver and makes
it less likely to introduce stale-TLB bugs in the future.

Only pgdat and memmap use remap area and there isn't much benefit in
allowing per-node override. In addition, the use of node_remap_size[]
is confusing in that it contains number of bytes before remap
initialization and then number of pages afterwards.
Move remap size calculation for memap from specific NUMA config
implementations to init_alloc_remap() and make node_remap_size[]
static.
The only behavior difference is that, before this patch, numaq_32
didn't consider max_pfn when calculating the memmap size but it's
enforced after this patch, which is the right thing to do.
