delay: Fix ndelay() spuriously treated as udelay()

2024-11-29T10:40:22Z

A recent rework on delay functions wrongly ended up calling __udelay() instead of __ndelay() for nanosecond delays, increasing those by 1000. As a result hangs have been observed on boot Restore the right function calls.

Rename .data.once to .data..once to fix resetting WARN*_ONCE

2024-11-27T00:38:27Z

Commit b1fca27d384e ("kernel debug: support resetting WARN*_ONCE") added support for clearing the state of once warnings. However, it is not functional when CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION or CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled, because .data.once matches the .data.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* pattern in the DATA_MAIN macro. Commit cb87481ee89d ("kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured") was introduced to suppress the issue for the default CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=n case, providing a minimal fix for stable backporting. We were aware this did not address the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y. The plan was to apply correct fixes and then revert cb87481ee89d. [1] Seven years have passed since then, yet the #ifdef workaround remains in place. Meanwhile, commit b1fca27d384e introduced the .data.once section, and commit dc5723b02e52 ("kbuild: add support for Clang LTO") extended the #ifdef. Using a ".." separator in the section name fixes the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.

Rename .data.unlikely to .data..unlikely

kbuild: Add Propeller configuration for kernel build

2024-11-27T00:38:27Z

Add the build support for using Clang's Propeller optimizer. Like AutoFDO, Propeller uses hardware sampling to gather information about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 19 or later, and the create_llvm_prof tool (https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1). This commit is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller optimized kernel: 1) Build the kernel on the host machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller build config CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y then $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE= “” is the profile collected when doing a non-Propeller AutoFDO build. This step builds a kernel that has the same optimization level as AutoFDO, plus a metadata section that records basic block information. This kernel image runs as fast as an AutoFDO optimized kernel. 2) Install the kernel on test/production machines. 3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number, like 500009, for this purpose. For Intel platforms: $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c \ -o -- For AMD platforms: The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2 # To see if Zen3 support LBR: $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs" # To see if Zen4 support LBR: $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2 # If the result is yes, then collect the profile using: $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \ -N -b -c -o -- 4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine. 5) Generate Propeller profile: $ create_llvm_prof --binary= --profile= \ --format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name \ --out=_cc_profile.txt \ --propeller_symorder=_ld_profile.txt “create_llvm_prof” is the profile conversion tool, and a prebuilt binary for linux can be found on https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1 (can also build from source). "" can be something like "/home/user/dir/any_string". This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles: "_cc_profile.txt" and "_ld_profile.txt". 6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller profile files.

AutoFDO: Enable machine function split optimization for AutoFDO

2024-11-27T00:38:27Z

Enable the machine function split optimization for AutoFDO in Clang. Machine function split (MFS) is a pass in the Clang compiler that splits a function into hot and cold parts. The linker groups all cold blocks across functions together. This decreases hot code fragmentation and improves iCache and iTLB utilization. MFS requires a profile so this is enabled only for the AutoFDO builds.

AutoFDO: Enable -ffunction-sections for the AutoFDO build

2024-11-27T00:38:27Z

Enable -ffunction-sections by default for the AutoFDO build. With -ffunction-sections, the compiler places each function in its own section named .text.function_name instead of placing all functions in the .text section. In the AutoFDO build, this allows the linker to utilize profile information to reorganize functions for improved utilization of iCache and iTLB.

vmlinux.lds.h: Add markers for text_unlikely and text_hot sections

Add markers like __hot_text_start, __hot_text_end, __unlikely_text_start, and __unlikely_text_end which will be included in System.map. These markers indicate how the compiler groups functions, providing valuable information to developers about the layout and optimization of the code.
