  • Now that software events use perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() too, we
    need the powerpc version to be always built.

  • The missing initialization of the nb_cntl.strap_msi_enable does not
    seem to be the only problem that prevents MSI, so that quirk is not
    sufficient to enable MSI on all machines. To be safe, disable MSI
    unconditionally for the internal graphics and HDMI audio on these
    chipsets.

  • This is a kgdb architectural change to have all the cpus (master or
    slave) enter the same function.

    A cpu that hits an exception (wants to be the master cpu) will call
    kgdb_handle_exception() from the trap handler and then invoke a
    kgdb_roundup_cpu() to synchronize the other cpus and bring them into
    the kgdb_handle_exception() as well.

    A slave cpu will enter kgdb_handle_exception() from the
    kgdb_nmicallback() and set the exception state to note that the
    processor is a slave.

    Previously the salve cpu would have called kgdb_wait(). This change
    allows the debug core to change cpus without resuming the system in
    order to inspect arch specific cpu information.

  • Rather than call probe_kernel_write() one byte at a time, process the
    whole buffer locally and pass the entire result in one go. This way,
    architectures that need to do special handling based on the length can
    do so, or we only end up calling memcpy() once.

  • This is a fix to the signed/unsigned field handling in the
    Python scripting engine, based on a patch from Roel Kluin.

    Basically, Python wants to use a PyInt (which is internally a
    long) if it can i.e. if the value will fit into that type. If
    not, it stores it into a PyLong, which isn't actually a long,
    but an arbitrary-precision integer variable.

    The code below is similar to to what Python does internally, and
    it seems to work as expected on the x86 and x86_64 sytems I
    tested it on.

  • When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing
    stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory
    address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a
    64-bit pointer).

    Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the
    TIF_IA32 flag is set.

    Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because
    the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall,
    which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for
    example).

  • Commit 3f6da39 ("perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks") moved
    the amd northbridge allocation from CPUS_ONLINE to CPUS_PREPARE_UP
    however amd_nb_id() doesn't work yet on prepare so it would simply bail
    basically reverting to a state where we do not properly track node wide
    constraints - causing weird perf results.

    Fix up the AMD NorthBridge initialization code by allocating from
    CPU_UP_PREPARE and installing it from CPU_STARTING once we have the
    proper nb_id. It also properly deals with the allocation failing.
