      x86/UV: Add kdump to UV NMI handler · 12ba6c99
      Mike Travis authored
      
      
      If a system has hung and it no longer responds to external
      events, this patch adds the capability of doing a standard kdump
      and system reboot then triggered by the system NMI command.
      
      It is enabled when the nmi action is changed to "kdump" and the
      kernel is built with CONFIG_KEXEC enabled.

      x86/UV: Add summary of cpu activity to UV NMI handler · 3c121d9a
      Mike Travis authored
      
      
      The standard NMI handler dumps the states of all the cpus.  This
      includes a full register dump and stack trace.  This can be way
      more information than what is needed.  This patch adds a
      "summary" dump that is basically a form of the "ps" command.  It
      includes the symbolic IP address as well as the command field
      and basic process information.
      
      It is enabled when the nmi action is changed to "ips".

      x86/UV: Update UV support for external NMI signals · 0d12ef0c
      Mike Travis authored
      
      
      The current UV NMI handler has not been updated for the changes
      in the system NMI handler and the perf operations.  The UV NMI
      handler reads an MMR in the UV Hub to check to see if the NMI
      event was caused by the external 'system NMI' that the operator
      can initiate on the System Mgmt Controller.
      
      The problem arises when the perf tools are running, causing
      millions of perf events per second on very large CPU count
      systems.  Previously this was okay because the perf NMI handler
      ran at a higher priority on the NMI call chain and if the NMI
      was a perf event, it would stop calling other NMI handlers
      remaining on the NMI call chain.
      
      Now the system NMI handler calls all the handlers on the NMI
      call chain including the UV NMI handler.  This causes the UV NMI
      handler to read the MMRs at the same millions per second rate.
      This can lead to significant performance loss and possible
      system failures.  It also can cause thousands of 'Dazed and
      Confused' messages being sent to the system console.  This
      effectively makes perf tools unusable on UV systems.
      
      To avoid this excessive overhead when perf tools are running,
      this code has been optimized to minimize reading of the MMRs as
      much as possible, by moving to the NMI_UNKNOWN notifier chain.
      This chain is called only when all the users on the standard
      NMI_LOCAL call chain have been called and none of them have
      claimed this NMI.
      
      There is an exception where the NMI_LOCAL notifier chain is
      used.  When the perf tools are in use, it's possible that the UV
      NMI was captured by some other NMI handler and then either
      ignored or mistakenly processed as a perf event.  We set a
      per_cpu ('ping') flag for those CPUs that ignored the initial
      NMI, and then send them an IPI NMI signal.  The NMI_LOCAL
      handler on each cpu does not need to read the MMR, but instead
      checks the in memory flag indicating it was pinged.  There are
      two module variables, 'ping_count' indicating how many requested
      NMI events occurred, and 'ping_misses' indicating how many stray
      NMI events.  These most likely are perf events so it shows the
      overhead of the perf NMI interrupts and how many MMR reads were avoided.
      
      This patch also minimizes the reads of the MMRs by having the
      first cpu entering the NMI handler on each node set a per HUB
      in-memory atomic value.  (Having a per HUB value avoids sending
      lock traffic over NumaLink.)  Both types of UV NMIs from the SMI
      layer are supported.

      x86/UV: Move NMI support · 1e019421
      Mike Travis authored
      
      
      This patch moves the UV NMI support from the x2apic file to a
      new separate uv_nmi.c file in preparation for the next sequence
      of patches. It prevents upcoming bloat of the x2apic file, and
      has the added benefit of putting the upcoming /sys/module
      parameters under the name 'uv_nmi' instead of 'x2apic_uv_x',
      which was obscure.

      do_div silently truncates high 32 bits and calculated result
      is invalid.
      
      In case if low 32bit of 'samples' are zeros then do_div() produces
