The tracing code used sched_clock() to get tracing timestamps, which
ends up calling xen_clocksource_read(). xen_clocksource_read() must
disable preemption, but if preemption tracing is enabled, this results
in infinite recursion.I've only noticed this when boot-time tracing tests are enabled, but it
seems like a generic bug. It looks like it would also affect
kvm_clocksource_read().Reported-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen_sched_clock only counts unstolen time. In principle this should
be useful to the Linux scheduler so that it knows how much time a process
actually consumed. But in practice this doesn't work very well as the
scheduler expects the sched_clock time to be synchronized between
cpus. It also uses sched_clock to measure the time a task spends
sleeping, in which case "unstolen time" isn't meaningful.So just use plain xen_clocksource_read to return wallclock nanoseconds
for sched_clock.Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

Use xen_vcpuop_clockevent instead of hpet and APIC timers as main
clockevent device on all vcpus, use the xen wallclock time as wallclock
instead of rtc and use xen_clocksource as clocksource.
The pv clock algorithm needs to work correctly for the xen_clocksource
and xen wallclock to be usable, only modern Xen versions offer a
reliable pv clock in HVM guests (XENFEAT_hvm_safe_pvclock).Using the hpet as clocksource means a VMEXIT every time we read/write to
the hpet mmio addresses, pvclock give us a better rating without
VMEXITs. Same goes for the xen wallclock and xen_vcpuop_clockeventSigned-off-by: Stefano Stabellini

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging:
A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the
CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing
its entry in /sys.A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does
not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be
caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available,
or implement a more complex policy.Signed-off-by: Alex Nixon

We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
gcc from performing the transformation.This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
to replace the open-coded versions I know about.Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.
Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
drivers/xen/manage.c. When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
prepares itself for saving by:1 - Freeze all processes. This is primarily to prevent any
partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
process. If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices
3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent. The
Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally5 - Suspend the domain
Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
the frozen processes are thawed.Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
