events/hw_event: Create a Hardware Events Report Mecanism (HERM)
Adds a trace class for handle hardware events
Part of the description bellow is shamelessly copied from Tony
Luck's notes about the Hardware Error BoF during LPC 2010 [1].
Tony, thanks for your notes and discussions to generate the
h/w error reporting requirements.
[1] http://lwn.net/Articles/416669/
We have several subsystems & methods for reporting hardware errors:
1) EDAC ("Error Detection and Correction"). In its original form
this consisted of a platform specific driver that read topology
information and error counts from chipset registers and reported
the results via a sysfs interface.
2) mcelog - x86 specific decoding of machine check bank registers
reporting in binary form via /dev/mcelog. Recent additions make use
of the APEI extensions that were documented in version 4.0a of the
ACPI specification to acquire more information about errors without
having to rely reading chipset registers directly. A user level
programs decodes into somewhat human readable format.
3) drivers/edac/mce_amd.c - this driver hooks into the mcelog path and
decodes errors reported via machine check bank registers in AMD
processors to the console log using printk();
Each of these mechanisms has a band of followers ... and none
of them appear to meet all the needs of all users.
In order to provide a proper hardware event subsystem, let's
encapsulate the memory error hardware events into a trace facility.
As no agreement was reached so far for the MCA-based trace events, for
now, let's add events only for memory errors. A latter patch can change
the tracepoint, for events originated via MCA.
edac: Call the minimum grain node as "rank" if chip select is used
The minimum hierarchy unit for csrows-based MC's is rank, and not dimm.
There are a few possible fixes here:
1) add a per-rank location at the dimm struct, and don't create one
dimm_info entry per rank;
2) Convert the drivers to internally convert ranks into dimm's;
3) rename "dimm" with "rank";
A few drivers do (2) internally: some of them have per-dimm registers,
instead of per-rank ones; a few others have some routines to translate
between the two representations of the memory. Those drivers report the
memories via a DIMM slot and a channel.
While no better solution is done, let's do (2) for the drivers that work
with csrows/channel layers to represent a rank.
This driver is different from the other drivers: it is not for a
FB-DIMM based device, but it does the right thing of exporting
the memories as dimm's and not as ranks.
Due to that, the mapping should be different than the other drivers.
After this change, the memories are properly reported:
i5000_edac: Fix the logic that retrieves memory information
The logic there is broken: it basically creates two csrows for
each DIMM and assumes that all DIMM's are dual rank. Only one of
the csrows will contain the entire DIMM size. If single rank
memories are found, they'll be marked with 0 bytes.
The check if the AMB is present were also wrong.
Yet, as the error reports don't use the memory size in order to
credit an error to the right DIMM, that part of the driver seems
to work. That's why probably nobody detected the issue yet.
After this patch, the memory layout is now properly reported,
when debug mode is enabled, and the number of ranks per dimm is
now shown:
edac: be sure to use the GET_POS macro to get memset_info struct
Most drivers use the csrows/channel way to get the struct memset_info
associated with a dimm/rank. FB-DIMM's and new Intel arch drivers
use different memory layers. Be sure to get the right DIMM on
those drivers. So, use a macro to calculate the offset of the dimm inside
its structure.
edac: fill the location with something useful if the DIMM is not found
If, for any reason, the driver passes a location for a not-filled
memory, uses "unknown memory" for the label. This is to prevent a
message like the one below:
[30418.916116] Generating a fake error to 0.-1.1 to test core handling. NOTE: this won't test the driver-specific decoding logic.
[30418.916123] EDAC MC0: UE FAKE ERROR on (branch 0 slot 1 page 0x0 offset 0x0 grain 0 for EDAC testing only)
(in this case, there's no memories at slot 1 - so it is simulating
a driver decoding failure)
When i5400_edac driver is removed and re-loaded a few times, it causes
an OOPS, as it is currently decrementing some PCI device usage two
times.
When called inside a loop, pci_get_device() will call
pci_put_device(). That mangles the error count. In this specific
case, it seems easier to just duplicate the call.
Also fixes the error logic when pci_get_device fails.
Only show labels for installed memories, and let it clear that,
when more than one label is pointed, the error is not on all
memories (it is an "or" logical operation, and not "and").
edac: Add a sysfs node to test the EDAC error report facility
Not all hardware supports error injection. Also, this feature
could be disabled by the BIOS. As we need to test the EDAC
error report facilities and the edac utils logic, add a way
to generate fake errors, when EDAC debug is enabled.
edac: Cleanup the logs for i7core and sb edac drivers
Remove some information that it is duplicated at the MCE log,
and don't have much usage for the error. Those data will be
added again, when creating a trace function that outputs both
memory errors and MCE fields.
The old way of allocating data were confusing. It were
also introducing a miss-concept with regards to "channel",
when csrows are used.
Instead, use a more generic approach: breaks the memory
controller into layers. Drivers are free to describe the
layers any way they want, in order to match the memory
architecture.
edac-mc: Allow reporting errors on a non-csrow oriented way
The edac core were written with the idea that memory controllers
are able to directly access csrows, and that the channels are
used inside a csrows select.
This is not true for FB-DIMM and RAMBUS memory controllers.
Also, some advanced memory controllers don't present a per-csrows
view.
So, change the allocation and error report routines to allow
them to work with all types of architectures.
This allowed to remove several hacks on FB-DIMM and RAMBUS
memory controllers.
Compile-tested all platforms (x86_64, i386, tile and several ppc subarchs).
Further per-driver tests will happen, in order to fix possible bugs
caused by this changeset.
TODO: a multi-rank DIMM's are currently represented by multiple DIMM
entries at struct dimm_info. That means that changing a label for one
rank won't change the same label for the other ranks at the same dimm.
Such bug is there since the beginning of the EDAC, so it is not a big
deal. However, on several drivers, it is possible to fix this issue, but
it should be a per-driver fix, as the csrow => DIMM arrangement may not
be equal for all. So, don't try to fix it here yet.
Cleans up the DIMM location information:
- Remove it from the csrow structure;
- make the location sysfs node code more flexible;
- cleans up the dimm code inside the drivers that fill the
dimm location properties.
edac: Don't initialize csrow's first_page & friends when not needed
Almost all edac drivers initialize first_page, last_page and
page_mask. Those vars are used inside the EDAC core, in order to
calculate the csrow affected by an error, by using the routine
edac_mc_find_csrow_by_page().
However, very few drivers actually use it:
e752x_edac.c
e7xxx_edac.c
i3000_edac.c
i82443bxgx_edac.c
i82860_edac.c
i82875p_edac.c
i82975x_edac.c
r82600_edac.c
There also a few other drivers that have their own calculus
formula internally using those vars.
All the others are just wasting time by initializing those
data.
While initializing data without using them won't cause any troubles, as
those information is stored at the wrong place (at csrows structure), it
is better to remove what is unused, in order to simplify the next patch.
On systems based on chip select rows, all channels need to use memories
with the same properties, otherwise the memories on channels A and B
won't be recognized. However, this is not true for all types of memory
controllers. Controllers for FB-DIMM's don't have such requirements.
Also, modern Intel controllers also seem to be capable of handling such
differences.
So, we need to get rid of storing the DIMM information into a per-csrow
data.
The first step is to move grain, mtype, dtype and edac_mode to the
per-dimm struct.
i7300_edac: Convert it to report memory with the new location
On this driver, the memory controller supports only FB-DIMMs.
The memory controller hierarchy here has 3 layers bellow the
memory controller:
- two branches;
- each branch has two channels;
- each channel can select up to 8 DIMM's via the
FB-DIMM AMB (Advanced Memory Buffer) chip.
As EDAC currently limits memory controllers to 2 hierarchy
levels, on this patch, both branches and channels are grouped
together.
i5400_edac: Convert it to report memory with the new location
On this driver, the memory controller supports only FB-DIMMs.
The memory controller hierarchy here has 3 layers bellow the
memory controller:
- two branches;
- each branch has two channels;
- each channel can select up to 4 DIMM's via the
FB-DIMM AMB (Advanced Memory Buffer) chip.
As EDAC currently limits memory controllers to 2 hierarchy
levels, on this patch, both branches and channels are grouped
together.
edac: Prepare to push down to drivers the filling of the memset_info
Several data that it is currently stored per csrow will be
pushed into the dimm themselves. Due to that, the mci->dimms
filling will need to happen inside the drivers.
Prepare for that, by initializing the dimm fields during mci
alloc. With this change, the changes at the drivers will be
smaller, as they won't need to touch at the fields they don't
currently initialize.
Instead of just exporting a per-csrow dimm directories, add
a pure per-dimm attributes. This will help to better map
the DIMM properties, when csrow info is not available.
edac: Create a dimm struct and move the labels into it
The way a DIMM is currently represented implies that they're
linked into a per-csrow struct. However, some drivers don't see
csrows, as they're ridden behind some chip like the AMB's
on FBDIMM's, for example.
This forced drivers to fake a csrow struct, and to create
a mess under csrow/channel original's concept.
Move the DIMM labels into a per-DIMM struct, and add there
the real location of the socket, in terms of csrow/channel,
on csrow-based architectures, or on channel/dimm number,
on modern architectures.
On three drivers based on the modern architectures
(i5100_edac, sb_edac and i7core_edac), the labels were
filled inside the driver, as a way to avoid loosing the
channel/dimm number. Those drivers were converted to
properly fill the DIMM location properties internally.
All other drivers will use a per-csrow type of location.
Some of those drivers will require a latter conversion, as
they also fake the csrows internally.
What it is pointed by a csrow/channel vector is a rank information, and
not a channel information.
On a traditional architecture, the memory controller directly access the
memory ranks, via chip select rows. Different ranks at the same DIMM is
selected via different chip select rows. So, typically, one
csrow/channel pair means one different DIMM.
On FB-DIMMs, there's a microcontroller chip at the DIMM, called Advanced
Memory Buffer (AMB) that serves as the interface between the memory
controller and the memory chips.
The AMB selection is via the DIMM slot, and not via a csrow.
It is up to the AMB to talk with the csrows of the DRAM chips.
So, the FB-DIMM memory controllers see the DIMM slot, and not the DIMM
rank. RAMBUS is similar.
Newer memory controllers, like the ones found on Intel Sandy Bridge and
Nehalem, even working with normal DDR3 DIMM's, don't use the usual
channel A/channel B interleaving schema to provide 128 bits data access.
Instead, they have more channels (3 or 4 channels), and they can use
several interleaving schemas. Such memory controllers see the DIMMs
directly on their registers, instead of the ranks, which is better for
the driver, as its main usageis to point to a broken DIMM stick (the
Field Repleceable Unit), and not to point to a broken DRAM chip.
The drivers that support such such newer memory architecture models
currently need to fake information and to abuse on EDAC structures, as
the subsystem was conceived with the idea that the csrow would always be
visible by the CPU.
To make things a little worse, those drivers don't currently fake
csrows/channels on a consistent way, as the concepts there don't apply
to the memory controllers they're talking with. So, each driver author
interpreted the concepts using a different logic.
In order to fix it, let's rename the data structure that points into a
DIMM rank to "rank_info", in order to be clearer about what's stored
there.
Latter patches will provide a better way to represent the memory
hierarchy for the other types of memory controller.
The memory terms changed along the time, since when EDAC were originally
written: new concepts were introduced, and some things have different
meanings, depending on the memory architecture. Better define those
terms, and better describe each supported memory type.
No functional changes. Just comments were touched.
It seems that nobody is cross-compiling for this arch anymore...

ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detach
This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
area.
1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
thread which can initiate another group-stop.
Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).
2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.
Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.
Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
possible similar problems.
do {
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0);
pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0);
} while (pid > 0);
return 1;
}
It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state
while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE
in wait_task_zombie().
The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check,
but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not
correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into
account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace.
This patch adds the additional check to close this particular
race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't
rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer
is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent.
I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always
remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least
we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too
complex for 3.2.
The call to "schedule_work()" in rtc_initialize_alarm() happens too
early, and can cause oopses at bootup
Neil Brown explains why we do it:
"If you set an alarm in the future, then shutdown and boot again after
that time, then you will end up with a timer_queue node which is in
the past.
When this happens the queue gets stuck. That entry-in-the-past won't
get removed until and interrupt happens and an interrupt won't happen
because the RTC only triggers an interrupt when the alarm is "now".
So you'll find that e.g. "hwclock" will always tell you that
'select' timed out.
So we force the interrupt work to happen at the start just in case."
and has a patch that convert it to do things in-process rather than with
the worker thread, but right now it's too late to play around with this,
so we just revert the patch that caused problems for now.

procfs: do not confuse jiffies with cputime64_t
Commit 2a95ea6c0d129b4 ("procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time
for nohz") did not take into account that one some architectures jiffies
and cputime use different units.
This causes get_idle_time() to return numbers in the wrong units, making
the idle time fields in /proc/stat wrong.
Instead of converting the usec value returned by
get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function
usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.

block: fix blk_queue_end_tag()
Commit 5e081591 "block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth"
cleaned up blk_queue_end_tag() to warn when the tag is truly invalid
(greater than real_max_depth). However, it changed behavior in the tag <
max_depth case to not end the request. Leading to triggering of
BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq)) in the request completion path:
In order to allow blk_queue_resize_tags() to shrink the tag space
blk_queue_end_tag() must always complete tags with a value less than
real_max_depth regardless of the current max_depth. The comment about
"handling the shrink case" seems to be what prompted changes in this
space, so remove it and BUG on all invalid tags (made even simpler by
Matthew's suggestion to use an unsigned compare).

watchdog: iTCO_wdt.c - problems with newer hardware due to SMI clearing (part 2)
Redhat Bugzilla: Bug 727875 - TCO_EN bit is disabled by TCO driver
The previous patch breaks reset watchdog behaviour on the older hardware.
It is therefor better to make sure that the behaviour for older hardware (<=ICH5 or
6300ESB) is preserved and that the behaviour for newer hardware is changed.
We therefor use the iTCO_version to see if we need the clearing of the SMI_TCO_EN
bit in the SMI_EN register.
So the new behaviour becomes:
turn_SMI_watchdog_clear_off=0 -> Do not turn off SMI clearing watchdog.
turn_SMI_watchdog_clear_off=1 -> Turn off SMI clearing watchdog when iTCO_version=1
(ICHO till ICH5 + 6300ESB only)
turn_SMI_watchdog_clear_off=2 -> Turn off SMI clearing watchdog.
