      perf: qcom: Add L3 cache PMU driver · 3071f13d
      Agustin Vega-Frias authored
      
      
      This adds a new dynamic PMU to the Perf Events framework to program
      and control the L3 cache PMUs in some Qualcomm Technologies SOCs.
      
      The driver supports a distributed cache architecture where the overall
      cache for a socket is comprised of multiple slices each with its own PMU.
      Access to each individual PMU is provided even though all CPUs share all
      the slices. User space needs to aggregate to individual counts to provide
      a global picture.
      
      The driver exports formatting and event information to sysfs so it can
      be used by the perf user space tools with the syntaxes:
         perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/read-miss/
         perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/event=0x21/

      drivers/perf: arm_pmu: split irq request from enable · c09adab0
      Mark Rutland authored
      
      
      For historical reasons, we lazily request and free interrupts in the
      arm pmu driver. This requires us to refcount use of the pmu (by way of
      counting the active events) in order to request/free interrupts at the
      correct times, which complicates the driver somewhat.
      
      The existing logic is flawed, as it only considers currently online CPUs
      when requesting, freeing, or managing the affinity of interrupts.
      Intervening hotplug events can result in erroneous IRQ affinity, online
      CPUs for which interrupts have not been requested, or offline CPUs whose
      interrupts are still requested.
      
      To fix this, this patch splits the requesting of interrupts from any
      per-cpu management (i.e. per-cpu enable/disable, and configuration of
      cpu affinity). We now request all interrupts up-front at probe time (and
      never free them, since we never unregister PMUs).
      
      The management of affinity, and per-cpu enable/disable now happens in
      our cpu hotplug callback, ensuring it occurs consistently. This means
      that we must now invoke the CPU hotplug callback at boot time in order
      to configure IRQs, and since the callback also resets the PMU hardware,
      we can remove the duplicate reset in the probe path.
      
      This rework renders our event refcounting unnecessary, so this is
      removed.

      drivers/perf: arm_pmu: manage interrupts per-cpu · 7ed98e01
      Mark Rutland authored
      
      
      When requesting or freeing interrupts, we use platform_get_irq() to find
      relevant irqs, backing this up with additional information in an
      optional irq_affinity table.
      
      This means that our irq request and free paths are tied to a
      platform_device, and our request path must jump through a number of
      hoops in order to determine the required affinity of each interrupt.
      
      Given that the affinity must be static, we can compute the affinity once
      up-front at probe time, simplifying the irq request and free paths. By
      recording interrupts in a per-cpu data structure, we simplify a few
      paths, and permit a subsequent rework of the request and free paths.

      drivers/perf: arm_pmu: rework per-cpu allocation · 2681f018
      Mark Rutland authored
      
      
      For historical reasons, we allocate per-cpu data associated with a PMU
      rather late, in cpu_pmu_init, after we've parsed whatever hardware
      information we were provided with.
      
      In order to allow use to store some per-cpu data early in the probe
      path, we need to allocate (and initialise) the per-cpu data earlier.
      This patch reworks the way we allocate the pmu and associated per-cpu
      data in order to make that possible.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
      reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
      cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
      actually problematic afaik.
      
      I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
      I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
      the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
      it but not bring the machine down.

       "The device-dax driver was not being careful to handle falling back to

        The driver already fails fault attempts that are smaller than the
        device's alignment, but it also needs to handle the cases where a
        larger page mapping could be established. For simplicity of the
        immediate fix the implementation just signals VM_FAULT_FALLBACK until
        fault-size == device-alignment.
      
        One fix is for -stable to address pmd-to-pte fallback from the
        original implementation, another fix is for the new (introduced in
