IBS initialization is a mix of per-core register access and per-node
pci device setup. Register access should be pinned to the cpu, but pci
setup must run with preemption enabled.
This patch better separates the code into non-/preemptible sections
and fixes sleeping with preemption disabled. See bug message below.
Fixes also freeing the eilvt entry by introducing put_eilvt().

Disable preemption in init_ibs(). The function only checks the
ibs capabilities and sets up pci devices (if necessary). It runs
only on one cpu but operates with the local APIC and some MSRs,
thus it is better to disable preemption.

We want the BIOS to setup the EILVT APIC registers. The offsets
were hardcoded and BIOS settings were overwritten by the OS.
Now, the subsystems for MCE threshold and IBS determine the LVT
offset from the registers the BIOS has setup. If the BIOS setup
is buggy on a family 10h system, a workaround enables IBS. If
the OS determines an invalid register setup, a "[Firmware Bug]:
" error message is reported.
We need this change also for upcomming cpu families.

This patch adds support for IBS branch target address reporting. A new
MSR (MSRC001_103B IBS Branch Target Address) has been added that
provides the logical address in canonical form for the branch
target. The size of the IBS sample that is transferred to the userland
has been increased.
For backward compatibility, the userland daemon must explicit enable
the feature by writing to the oprofilefs file
ibs_op/branch_target
After enabling branch target address reporting, the userland daemon
must handle the extended size of the IBS sample.

Current IBS code is not hotplug capable. An offline cpu might not be
initialized or deinitialized properly. This patch fixes this by
removing on_each_cpu() functions. The IBS init/deinit code is executed
in the per-cpu functions model->setup_ctrs() and model->cpu_down()
which are also called by hotplug notifiers. model->cpu_down() replaces
model->exit() that became obsolete.

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.
Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
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.

Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing feature
enables OProfile to gather more events than counters are provided by
the hardware. This is realized by switching between events at an user
specified time interval.
A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify
the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher
than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will
schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes
the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to
be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This
patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily
extended for other models and architectures.
There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.
