There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI fixed counters, e.g., IMC. It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value which was then written to PCI config space. The erratic values can be seen via: $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10 The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues. This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.

Currently utask->depth is simply the number of allocated/pending return_instance's in uprobe_task->return_instances list. handle_trampoline() should decrement this counter every time we handle/free an instance, but due to typo it does this only if ->chained == T. This means that in the likely case this counter is never decremented and the probed task can't report more than MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH events.

The IvyBridge event CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING can only be measured on counters 0-3 when HT is off. When HT is on, you only have counters 0-3.

Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: * Handle perf.data files with no tracepoints in 'perf trace', fixing a segfault. * Fix up MMAP2 buffer space reservation, a problem that was caught via 'perf test' consistency tests. * Add attr->mmap2 support in the tools, a patch that should've been merged together with the kernel counterpart: 13d7a241 "perf: Add attr->mmap2 attribute to an event". Merging it allowed us to catch the MMAP buffer space reservation problem via 'perf test'. From Stephane Eranian. The tools deals with older kernels by disabling this feature, resetting the perf_event_attr.mmap2 bit, when -EINVAL is returned by perf_event_open, just like with perf_event_attr.{sample_id_all,exclude_{guest,host}}. When such fallback happens the perf_missing_features.mmap2 flag is set to true and can be used by tooling that strictly needs this feature to check for its availability on the running kernel. * Make sure we can find PERF_SAMPLE_ID in the variable part of PERF_RECORD_ ring buffer records in 'perf kvm', where direct manipulation of sample_type was being done. Fixed by making use of the perf_evlist__set_sample_bit() helper and by setting the evlist->id_pos in perf_evlist__open(), from Adrian Hunter.

This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record. It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and the inode number and generation. This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for instance. The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

Jiri Olsa authored
Currently when processing events in the __perf_session__process_events function we update a progress bar based on the file_size. During the same processing we update the progress bar from within flush_sample_queue which is based on number of samples count. Having 2 different based updates is causing the progress bar to jump heavily back and forth giving not much usefull info. Fixing this by keeping only __perf_session__process_events based progress bar update. And turning on flush_sample_queue progress bar update only for final flushing. This reduces the number of time the progress bar update function is called and it significantly reduces the loading time for TUI, where the progress bar update takes quite a lot of time.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the planned unified hierarchy. - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed. Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed, which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these changes and the patchset is pending for the next window. - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward, new events will simply generate file modified event and the existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull request contains prepatory patches for such change. - Various fixes and cleanups" Fixed up conflict in kernel/cgroup.c as per Tejun. * 'for-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (69 commits) cgroup: fix cgroup_css() invocation in css_from_id() cgroup: make cgroup_write_event_control() use css_from_dir() instead of __d_cgrp() cgroup: make cgroup_event hold onto cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup cgroup: implement CFTYPE_NO_PREFIX cgroup: make cgroup_css() take cgroup_subsys * instead and allow NULL subsys cgroup: rename cgroup_css_from_dir() to css_from_dir() and update its syntax cgroup: fix cgroup_write_event_control() cgroup: fix subsystem file accesses on the root cgroup cgroup: change cgroup_from_id() to css_from_id() cgroup: use css_get() in cgroup_create() to check CSS_ROOT cpuset: remove an unncessary forward declaration cgroup: RCU protect each cgroup_subsys_state release cgroup: move subsys file removal to kill_css() cgroup: factor out kill_css() cgroup: decouple cgroup_subsys_state destruction from cgroup destruction cgroup: replace cgroup->css_kill_cnt with ->nr_css cgroup: bounce cgroup_subsys_state ref kill confirmation to a work item cgroup: move cgroup->subsys[] assignment to online_css() cgroup: reorganize css init / exit paths cgroup: add __rcu modifier to cgroup->subsys[] ...
