      perf_events: Fix read() bogus counts when in error state · b2e74a26
      Stephane Eranian authored
      When a pinned group cannot be scheduled it goes into error state.
      
      Normally a group cannot go out of error state without being
      explicitly re-enabled or disabled. There was a bug in per-thread
      mode, whereby upon termination of the thread, the group would
      transition from error to off leading to bogus counts and timing
      information returned by read().
      
      Fix it by clearing the error state.

      tracing: Fix kmem event exports · 4d795fb1
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Commit 53d0422c ("tracing: Convert some kmem events to DEFINE_EVENT")
      moved the kmem tracepoint creation from util.c to page_alloc.c,
      but forgot to move the exports.
      
      Move them back.

      If the new percpu tree is combined with the perf events tree

       kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:151: warning: 'task_bp_pinned' is used uninitialized in this function
      
      Because it's not valid anymore to define a local variable
      and a percpu variable (even if it's file scope local) with
      the same name.
      
      Rename the local variable to resolve this.

      x86/hw-breakpoints: Don't lose GE flag while disabling a breakpoint · 2c31b795
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      When we schedule out a breakpoint from the cpu, we also
      incidentally remove the "Global exact breakpoint" flag from the
      breakpoint control register. It makes us losing the fine grained
      precision about the origin of the instructions that may trigger
      breakpoint exceptions for the other breakpoints running in this
      cpu.

      hw-breakpoints: Simplify error handling in breakpoint creation requests · 605bfaee
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      This simplifies the error handling when we create a breakpoint.
      We don't need to check the NULL return value corner case anymore
      since we have improved perf_event_create_kernel_counter() to
      always return an error code in the failure case.

      hw-breakpoints: Improve in-kernel event creation error granularity · c6567f64
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      In fail case, perf_event_create_kernel_counter() returns NULL
      instead of an error, which doesn't help us to inform the user
      about the origin of the problem from the outer most callers.
      Often we can just return -EINVAL, which doesn't help anyone when
      it's eventually about a memory allocation failure.
      
      Then, this patch makes perf_event_create_kernel_counter() always
      return a detailed error code.

      ksym_tracer: Fix breakpoint removal after modification · d99be40a
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The error path of a breakpoint modification is broken in
      the ksym tracer. A modified breakpoint hlist node is immediately
      released after its removal. Also we leak a breakpoint in this
      case.
      
      Fix the path.

      tracing: Restore original format of sched events · 470dda74

      The original format for sched_stat_iowait and sched_stat_sleep:
      
        $ cat events/sched/sched_stat_iowait/format

      But commit commit 75ec29ab
      ("tracing: Convert some sched trace events to DEFINE_EVENT and

        $ cat events/sched/sched_stat_iowait/format
        print fmt: "task: %s:%d iowait: %Lu [ns]", ...

      events: Rename TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE() to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() · 091ad365
      Ingo Molnar authored
      It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
      does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template?
      
      To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows
      the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel:
      
        DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class)
      
          DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1)
          DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2)
          DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3)
      
      To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to:
      
        DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event)
      
      ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

      tracing: Convert some sched trace events to DEFINE_EVENT and _PRINT · 75ec29ab
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Converting some of the scheduler trace events to use the
      TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT helped to
      save some space:
      
      $ size kernel/sched.o-*
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
        79299	   6776	   2520	  88595	  15a13	kernel/sched.o-notrace
       101941	  11896	   2584	 116421	  1c6c5	kernel/sched.o-templ
       104779	  11896	   2584	 119259	  1d1db	kernel/sched.o-trace
      
      sched.o-notrace is without any tracepoints compiled
      sched.o-templ is with this patch
      sched.o-trace is the tracepoints before this patch
      
      The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT:
      
      sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new, sched_process_free, sched_process_exit,
      and sched_stat_wait.
      
      The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT:
      
      sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait.
      
      Note, since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE always uses a print, the
      sched_stat_wait print format is defined in the template and this
      template is used by sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait. But the
      later two override the print format.

      tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT · e5bc9721
      Steven Rostedt authored
      After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other
      trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there
      are several trace points where they are almost identical except for
      the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful
      in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.
      
      DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the
      DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the
      developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more
      TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then
      they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the
      TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event
      would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and
      be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
      and override the print format.
      
      Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and
      DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were
      converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.
      
      I was able to get the following:
      
      $ size kernel/sched.o-*
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
        79299	   6776	   2520	  88595	  15a13	kernel/sched.o-notrace
       101941	  11896	   2584	 116421	  1c6c5	kernel/sched.o-templ
       104779	  11896	   2584	 119259	  1d1db	kernel/sched.o-trace
      
      sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points.
      sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
      sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

      tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE · ff038f5c
      Steven Rostedt authored
      There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
      they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
      record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
      identical.
      
      This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
      a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
      is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
      will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
      when there are several duplicate events.
      
      Usage is:
      
      TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
      
      Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
      
      To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
      
      DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
      is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
      name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
      as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
      then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
      but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
      experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
      
      A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
      the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
      the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
      
      $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
          text          data     bss     dec     hex filename
        452114          2788    3520  458422   6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
        638482         38116    3744  680342   a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
        996954         38116    4480 1039550   fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
      
      xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
      xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
      xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

      Commit 4ed7c92d
      (perf_events: Undo some recursion damage) has introduced a bad
      reference counting of the recursion context. putting the context
      behaves like getting it, dropping every software/trace events
      after the first one in a context.

      perf_events, x86: Fix validate_event bug · 1261a02a
      Stephane Eranian authored
      The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The
      function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it
      meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and
      0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function
      returns a negative value.
      
      Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups
      because the event->pmu was not set until after
      hw_perf_event_init().
