      perf tools: Add missing header, fixes build · a860a608
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We need the definiton for __always_inline in bitops.h to fix the build
      on distros where it isn't available or compiler.h doesn't get included
      indirectly.
      
      One of the fixes needed to build perf on RHEL4 systems, for instance.

      perf tools: Fix 64 bit integer format strings · 9486aa38
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Using %L[uxd] has issues in some architectures, like on ppc64.  Fix it
      by making our 64 bit integers typedefs of stdint.h types and using
      PRI[ux]64 like, for instance, git does.
      
      Reported by Denis Kirjanov that provided a patch for one case, I went
      and changed all cases.

      perf: perf_event_exit_task_context: s/rcu_dereference/rcu_dereference_raw/ · 806839b2
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      In theory, almost every user of task->child->perf_event_ctxp[]
      is wrong. find_get_context() can install the new context at any
      moment, we need read_barrier_depends().
      
      dbe08d82 "perf: Fix
      find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race" added
      rcu_dereference() into perf_event_exit_task_context() to make
      the precedent, but this makes __rcu_dereference_check() unhappy.
      Use rcu_dereference_raw() to shut up the warning.

      perf symbols: Fix annotation of thumb code · b2f8fb23
      Dr. David Alan Gilbert authored
      In ARM's Thumb mode the bottom bit of the symbol address is set to mark
      the function as Thumb; the instructions are in reality 2 or 4 byte on 2
      byte alignments, and when the +1 address is used in annotate it causes
      objdump to disassemble invalid instructions.
      
      The patch removes that bottom bit during symbol loading.
      
      Many thinks to Dave Martin for comments on an initial version of the
      patch.

      perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splat · 547e9fd7
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Lockdep spotted:
      
      	loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock:
      	 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7
      
      	but task is already holding lock:
      	 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218
      
      	which lock already depends on the new lock.
      
      	the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
      
      	-> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}:
      	-> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:
      	-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}:
      	-> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}:
      
      But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork
      (task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the
      perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those
      used by tasks.

      When fixing the frequency calculations for perf on powerpc I
      forgot to fix the FSL version.
      
      If we dont set event->hw.last_period the frequency to period
      calculations in perf go haywire and we continually
      throttle/unthrottle the PMU.

      perf_event_init_context(perf_hw_context) fails,
      perf_event_free_task() can free perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]
      copied from parent->perf_event_ctxp[] by dup_task_struct().
      
      Also move the initialization of perf_event_mutex and

      perf_event_init_context().

      perf: Fix find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race · dbe08d82
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      find_get_context() must not install the new perf_event_context
      if the task has already passed perf_event_exit_task().
      
      If nothing else, this means the memory leak. Initially
      ctx->refcount == 2, it is supposed that
      perf_event_exit_task_context() should participate and do the
      necessary put_ctx().
      
      find_lively_task_by_vpid() checks PF_EXITING but this buys
      nothing, by the time we call find_get_context() this task can be
      already dead. To the point, cmpxchg() can succeed when the task
      has already done the last schedule().
      
      Change find_get_context() to populate task->perf_event_ctxp[]
      under task->perf_event_mutex, this way we can trust PF_EXITING
      because perf_event_exit_task() takes the same mutex.
      
      Also, change perf_event_exit_task_context() to use
      rcu_dereference(). Probably this is not strictly needed, but
      with or without this change find_get_context() can race with
      setup_new_exec()->perf_event_exit_task(), rcu_dereference()
      looks better.
