      perf probe: Fix wrong register name for arm64 · 1b29dfbb
      He Kuang authored 
      The register name of arm64 architecture is x0-x31 not r0-r31, this patch
changes this typo.

Before this patch:

  # perf probe --definition 'sys_write count'
  p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%r2:s64

  # echo 'p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%r2:s64' > \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  Parse error at argument[0]. (-22)

After this patch:

  # perf probe --definition 'sys_write count'
  p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%x2:s64

  # echo 'p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%x2:s64' > \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  # echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe/enable
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
  ...
  sh-422   [000] d... 650.495930: sys_write: (SyS_write+0x0/0xc8) count=22
  sh-422   [000] d... 651.102389: sys_write: (SyS_write+0x0/0xc8) count=26

      kprobes, extable: Identify kprobes trampolines as kernel text area · 5b485629
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Improve __kernel_text_address()/kernel_text_address() to return
true if the given address is on a kprobe's instruction slot
trampoline.

This can help stacktraces to determine the address is on a
text area or not.

To implement this atomically in is_kprobe_*_slot(), also change
the insn_cache page list to an RCU list.

This changes timings a bit (it delays page freeing to the RCU garbage
collection phase), but none of that is in the hot path.

Note: this change can add small overhead to stack unwinders because
it adds 2 additional checks to __kernel_text_address(). However, the
impact should be very small, because kprobe_insn_pages list has 1 entry
per 256 probes(on x86, on arm/arm64 it will be 1024 probes),
and kprobe_optinsn_pages has 1 entry per 32 probes(on x86).
In most use cases, the number of kprobe events may be less
than 20, which means that is_kprobe_*_slot() will check just one entry.

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.11-20170111' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

New features:

- Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP).

  Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when
  receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based
  triggers:

       perf record -a --switch-output=signal

  is equivalent to what we had before:

       perf record -a --switch-output

  While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking
  into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by
  the kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the
  size of the perf mmap ring buffer):

       perf record -a --switch-output=2G

  will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB
  of samples, right when generating the output.

  For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute
  limited perf.data output files:

      perf record -a --switch-output=1m

  (Jiri Olsa)

- Remove the need to use -e only for syscalls and --event only for
  tracepoints/HW/SW/etc events, i.e. now one can use:

      perf trace -e nanosleep,futex,sched:sched_switch ./workload

  or:

      perf trace --event nanosleep,futex,sched:sched_switch ./workload

  And have it tracing raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} for the nanosleep
  and futex syscalls, formatting those as strace does while also
  tracing sched:sched_switch, ordering it all into one strace like
  output.

  Using '!' as the first character in the -e/--event argument remains
  a way to negate the list of syscalls, i.e. all syscalls except for
  the ones specified, doesn't affect the other kinds of events.

  E.g:

  [root@jouet ~] # perf trace -e sched:sched_switch,nanosleep usleep 1
     0.000 ( 0.028 ms): usleep/28150 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffe4201b9f0) ...
     0.028 (         ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:28150 [120] S ==> swapper/0:0 [120])
     0.000 ( 0.065 ms): usleep/28150  ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
  [root@jouet ~]#

  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on
  the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs for
  use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure improvements:

- Add missing linux/kernel.h include to subcmd.h (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
  tools: Sync x86's vmx.h with the kernel

- Create libdir directory before installing libperf-jvmti.so (Laura Abbott)

- Fix typo in perf_evlist__start_workload() (Soramichi Akiyama)

      perf/x86: Set pmu->module in Intel PMU modules · 74545f63
      David Carrillo-Cisneros authored 
      The conversion of Intel PMU drivers into modules did not include reference
counting. The machine will crash when attempting to  access deleted code
if an event from a module PMU is started and the module removed before the
event is destroyed.

i.e. this crashes the machine:

	$ insmod intel-rapl-perf.ko
	$ perf stat -e power/energy-cores/ -C 0 &
	$ rmmod intel-rapl-perf.ko

Set THIS_MODULE to pmu->module in Intel module PMUs so that generic code
can handle reference counting and deny rmmod while an event still exists.
