      Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler" · ab0cce56
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      This reverts commit cb04ff9a ("sched, perf: Use a single
callback into the scheduler").

Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked
like this (wrt. to perf event schedule):

     schedule (prev, next)
       - schedule out all perf events for prev
       - switch to next
       - schedule in all perf events for current (next)

After the commit, the process switch looks like:

     schedule (prev, next)
       - schedule out all perf events for prev
       - schedule in all perf events for (next)
       - switch to next

The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu
is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the
switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event
SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current"
process).

Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive
SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled
from.

Discussed with Peter Zijlstra:

      perf hists: Fix callchain ip printf format · a0187060
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      The callchain address is stored as u64. Current code uses following
format string to display callchain address:

  "%p\n", (void *)(long)chain->ip

This way we lose upper 32 bits if we report 64 bit addresses in 32 bit
environment. Fixing this to always display whole 64 bits.

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data

  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
    to a target system and run:
    # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target

  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

test 2)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
  - target system:
    # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
     --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
  - complete perf.data header is displayed

      perf target: Add uses_mmap field · d1cb9fce
      Namhyung Kim authored 
      If perf doesn't mmap on event (like perf stat), it should not create
per-task-per-cpu events. So just use a dummy cpu map to create a
per-task event for this case.

      ftrace: Remove selecting FRAME_POINTER with FUNCTION_TRACER · b732d439
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires
that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config
it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems
on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select
was not set.

When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have
-fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when
FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option
-fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg
even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg.

The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer
or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing
but do not set FRAME_POINTER.

As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function
tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with
-pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER
when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed.

Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects
FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing
is selected.

      ftrace/x86: Have x86 ftrace use the ftrace_modify_all_code() · e4f5d544
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      To remove duplicate code, have the ftrace arch_ftrace_update_code()
use the generic ftrace_modify_all_code(). This requires that the
default ftrace_replace_code() becomes a weak function so that an
arch may override it.

      ftrace: Make ftrace_modify_all_code() global for archs to use · 8ed3e2cf
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      Rename __ftrace_modify_code() to ftrace_modify_all_code() and make
it global for all archs to use. This will remove the duplication
of code, as archs that can modify code without stop_machine()
can use it directly outside of the stop_machine() call.

      ftrace: Return record ip addr for ftrace_location() · f0cf973a
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      ftrace_location() is passed an addr, and returns 1 if the addr is
on a ftrace nop (or caller to ftrace_caller), and 0 otherwise.

To let kprobes know if it should move a breakpoint or not, it
must return the actual addr that is the start of the ftrace nop.
This way a kprobe placed on the location of a ftrace nop, can
instead be placed on the instruction after the nop. Even if the
probe addr is on the second or later byte of the nop, it can
simply be moved forward.

      ftrace: Consolidate ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() · a650e02a
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      Both ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() do basically the same thing.
They search to see if an address is in the ftace table (contains an address
that may change from nop to call ftrace_caller). The difference is
that ftrace_location() searches a single address, but ftrace_text_reserved()
searches a range.

This also makes the ftrace_text_reserved() faster as it now uses a bsearch()
instead of linearly searching all the addresses within a page.

      ftrace: Speed up search by skipping pages by address · 9644302e
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      As all records in a page of the ftrace table are sorted, we can
speed up the search algorithm by checking if the address to look for
falls in between the first and last record ip on the page.

This speeds up both the ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved()
algorithms, as it can skip full pages when the search address is
not in them.

      ftrace: Remove extra helper functions · 706c81f8
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      The ftrace_record_ip() and ftrace_alloc_dyn_node() were from the
time of the ftrace daemon. Although they were still used, they
still make things a bit more complex than necessary.

Move the code into the one function that uses it, and remove the
helper functions.

      ftrace: Sort all function addresses, not just per page · 9fd49328
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      Instead of just sorting the ip's of the functions per ftrace page,
sort the entire list before adding them to the ftrace pages.

This will allow the bsearch algorithm to be sped up as it can
also sort by pages, not just records within a page.
