Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity
such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance
counter. There is a warning in the code for this case.
The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't
collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your
platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the
desired event by editing the
/usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events
file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact
your hardware or BIOS vendor.

IBS selects an op (execution operation) for sampling by counting
either cycles or dispatched ops. Better statistical samples can be
produced by adding a software generated random offset to the periodic
op counter value with each sample.
This patch adds software randomization to the IBS periodic op
counter. The lower 12 bits of the 20 bit counter are
randomized. IbsOpCurCnt is initialized with a 12 bit random value.
There is a work around if the hw can not write to IbsOpCurCnt. Then
the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit IbsOpMaxCnt [15:0] value are randomized
in the range of -128 to +127 by adding/subtracting an offset to the
maximum count (IbsOpMaxCnt).
The linear feedback shift register (LFSR) algorithm is used for
pseudo-random number generation to have low impact to the memory
system.

This patch implements a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) for
pseudo-random number generation for IBS.
For IBS measurements it would be good to minimize memory traffic in
the interrupt handler since every access pollutes the data
caches. Computing a maximal period LFSR just needs shifts and ORs.
The LFSR method is good enough to randomize the ops at low
overhead. 16 pseudo-random bits are enough for the implementation and
it doesn't matter that the pattern repeats with a fairly short
cycle. It only needs to break up (hard) periodic sampling behavior.
The logic was designed by Paul Drongowski.

This patch adds IBS feature detection using cpuid flags. An IBS
capability mask is introduced to test for certain IBS features. The
bit mask is the same as for IBS cpuid feature flags (Fn8000_001B_EAX),
but bit 0 is used to indicate the existence of IBS.
The patch also changes the handling of the IbsOpCntCtl bit (periodic
op counter count control). The oprofilefs file for this feature
(ibs_op/dispatched_ops) will be only exposed if the feature is
available, also the default for the bit is set to count clock cycles.
In general, the userland can detect the availability of a feature by
checking for the corresponding file in oprofilefs. If it exists, the
feature also exists. This may lead to a dynamic file layout depending
on the cpu type with that the userland has to deal with. Current
opcontrol is compatible.

Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are
northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations
(especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number
is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not
reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is
better to remove the check.

This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling.
NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are
identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the
Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are
counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a
counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to
those counters needs to be synchronized.
We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring
NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation
table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint
structure.

In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same
event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop
and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be
released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will
again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some
processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due
to competion between cores.
This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter
without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the
counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value
is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed
until perf_enable()).

commit ff097ddd4 (x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: manage pci_mmcfg_region as a
list, not a table) introduced a nasty memory corruption when
pci_mmcfg_list is empty.
pci_mmcfg_check_end_bus_number() dereferences pci_mmcfg_list.prev even
when the list is empty. The following write hits some variable near to
pci_mmcfg_list.
Further down a similar problem exists, where cfg->list.next is
dereferenced unconditionally and a comparison with some variable near
to pci_mmcfg_list happens.
Add a check for the last element into the for_each_entry() loop and
remove all the other crappy logic which is just a leftover of the old

The code in stop_machine that modifies the kernel text has a bit
of logic to handle the case of NMIs. stop_machine does not prevent
NMIs from executing, and if an NMI were to trigger on another CPU
as the modifying CPU is changing the NMI text, a GPF could result.
To prevent the GPF, the NMI calls ftrace_nmi_enter() which may
modify the code first, then any other NMIs will just change the
text to the same content which will do no harm. The code that
stop_machine called must wait for NMIs to finish while it changes
each location in the kernel. That code may also change the text
to what the NMI changed it to. The key is that the text will never
change content while another CPU is executing it.
To make the above work, the call to ftrace_nmi_enter() must also
do a smp_mb() as well as atomic_inc(). But for applications like
perf that require a high number of NMIs for profiling, this can have
a dramatic effect on the system. Not only is it doing a full memory
barrier on both nmi_enter() as well as nmi_exit() it is also
modifying a global variable with an atomic operation. This kills
performance on large SMP machines.
Since the memory barriers are only needed when ftrace is in the
process of modifying the text (which is seldom), this patch
adds a "modifying_code" variable that gets set before stop machine
is executed and cleared afterwards.
The NMIs will check this variable and store it in a per CPU
"save_modifying_code" variable that it will use to check if it
needs to do the memory barriers and atomic dec on NMI exit.

Previously we used a table of size PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES (16) for resources
forwarded to a bus by its upstream bridge. We've increased this size
several times when the table overflowed.
But there's no good limit on the number of resources because host bridges
and subtractive decode bridges can forward any number of ranges to their
secondary buses.
This patch reduces the table to only PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCE_NUM (4) entries,
which corresponds to the number of windows a PCI-to-PCI (3) or CardBus (4)
bridge can positively decode. Any additional resources, e.g., PCI host
bridge windows or subtractively-decoded regions, are kept in a list.
I'd prefer a single list rather than this split table/list approach, but
that requires simultaneous changes to every architecture. This approach
only requires immediate changes where we set up (a) host bridges with more
than four windows and (b) subtractive-decode P2P bridges, and we can
incrementally change other architectures to use the list.

When the user enables breakpoints through dr7, he can choose
between "local" or "global" enable bits but given how linux is
implemented, both have the same effect.
That said we don't keep track how the user enabled the breakpoints
so when the user requests the dr7 value, we only translate the
"enabled" status using the global enabled bits. It means that if
the user enabled a breakpoint using the local enabled bit, reading
back dr7 will set the global bit and clear the local one.
Apps like Wine expect a full dr7 POKEUSER/PEEKUSER match for emulated
softwares that implement old reverse engineering protection schemes.
We fix that by keeping track of the whole dr7 value given by the user
in the thread structure to drop this bug. We'll think about
something more proper later.
