Having the build time assertion in header is making the perf build fail on x86 with: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h:411:32: error: variably modified \ ‘__assert_mmap_data_head_offset’ at file scope [-Werror] I'm moving the build time validation out of the header, because I think it's better than to lessen the perf build warn/error check.

Complete the syscall-less self-profiling feature and address all complaints, namely: - capabilities, so we can detect what is actually available at runtime Add a capabilities field to perf_event_mmap_page to indicate what is actually available for use. - on x86: RDPMC weirdness due to being 40/48 bits and not sign-extending properly. - ABI documentation as to how all this stuff works. Also improve the documentation for the new features.

The perf diff command is broken since: perf hists: Threaded addition and sorting of entries commit 1980c2eb Several places were broken: - hists data need to be collected into opened sessions instead of into events - session's hists data need to be initialized properly when the session is created - hist_entry__pcnt_snprintf: the percentage and displacement buffer preparation must not use 'ret' because it's used as a pointer to the final buffer Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120322133726.GB1601@m.brq.redhat.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The event modifier needs to be applied only on the event definition it is attached to. The current state is that in case of multiple events definition (in single '-e' option, separated by ',') all will get modifier of the last one. Fixing this by adding separated list for each event definition, so the modifier is applied only to proper event(s). Added automated test to catch this, plus some other modifier tests.

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar: - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as there were also lots of other improvements * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (120 commits) perf report: Fix annotate double quit issue in branch view mode perf report: Remove duplicate annotate choice in branch view mode perf/x86: Prettify pmu config literals perf report: Enable TUI in branch view mode perf report: Auto-detect branch stack sampling mode perf record: Add HEADER_BRANCH_STACK tag perf record: Provide default branch stack sampling mode option perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIs perf tools: Fix ABI compatibility bug in print_event_desc() perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI rev perf: Add ABI reference sizes perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling perf record: Add support for sampling taken branch perf tools: Add code to support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK x86/kprobes: Split out optprobe related code to kprobes-opt.c x86/kprobes: Fix a bug which can modify kernel code permanently x86/kprobes: Fix instruction recovery on optimized path perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch perf: Disable PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* when not supported perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel CPUs ...

* branch 'dcache-word-accesses': vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing This does the name hashing and lookup using word-sized accesses when that is efficient, namely on x86 (although any little-endian machine with good unaligned accesses would do). It does very much depend on little-endian logic, but it's a very hot couple of functions under some real loads, and this patch improves the performance of __d_lookup_rcu() and link_path_walk() by up to about 30%. Giving a 10% improvement on some very pathname-heavy benchmarks. Because we do make unaligned accesses past the filename, the optimization is disabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is active, and we effectively depend on the fact that on x86 we don't really ever have the last page of usable RAM followed immediately by any IO memory (due to ACPI tables, BIOS buffer areas etc). Some of the bit operations we do are a bit "subtle". It's commented, but you do need to really think about the code. Or just consider it black magic. Thanks to people on G+ for some of the optimized bit tricks.

For some odd historical reason, the final mixing round for the dentry cache hash table lookup had an insane "xor with big constant" logic. In two places. The big constant that is being xor'ed is GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME, which is a fairly random-looking number that is designed to be *multiplied* with so that the bits get spread out over a whole long-word. But xor'ing with it is insane. It doesn't really even change the hash - it really only shifts the hash around in the hash table. To make matters worse, the insane big constant is different on 32-bit and 64-bit builds, even though the name hash bits we use are always 32-bit (and the bits from the pointer we mix in effectively are too). It's all total voodoo programming, in other words. Now, some testing and analysis of the hash chains shows that the rest of the hash function seems to be fairly good. It does pick the right bits of the parent dentry pointer, for example, and while it's generally a bad idea to use an xor to mix down the upper bits (because if there is a repeating pattern, the xor can cause "destructive interference"), it seems to not have been a disaster. For example, replacing the hash with the normal "hash_long()" code (that uses the GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME constant correctly, btw) actually just makes the hash worse. The hand-picked hash knew which bits of the pointer had the highest entropy, and hash_long() ends up mixing bits less optimally at least in some trivial tests. So the hash function overall seems fine, it just has that really odd "shift result around by a constant xor". So get rid of the silly xor, and replace the down-mixing of the bits with an add instead of an xor that tends to not have the same kind of destructive interference issues. Some stats on the resulting hash chains shows that they look statistically identical before and after, but the code is simpler and no longer makes you go "WTF?". Also, the incoming hash really is just "unsigned int", not a long, and there's no real point to worry about the high 26 bits of the dentry pointer for the 64-bit case, because they are all going to be identical anyway. So also change the hashing to be done in the more natural 'unsigned int' that is the real size of the actual hashed data anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 28d82dc1 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

This patch fixes it and eliminates the reported oops.

ns_r_segments_percentage is read from the disk. Bogus or malicious value could cause integer overflow and malfunction due to meaningless disk usage calculation.

When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG: kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179! With a backtrace of: afs_free_call afs_make_call afs_fs_store_data afs_vnode_store_data afs_write_back_from_locked_page afs_writepages_region afs_writepages The cause is: ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue)); Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we are exceeding our disk quota: rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32) So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't freed all the resources for the call. By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

A read of a large file on an afs mount failed: # cat junk.file > /dev/null cat: junk.file: Bad message Looking at the trace, call->offset wrapped since it is only an unsigned short. In afs_extract_data: _enter("{%u},{%zu},%d,,%zu", call->offset, len, last, count); ... if (call->offset < count) { if (last) { _leave(" = -EBADMSG [%d < %zu]", call->offset, count); return -EBADMSG; } Which matches the trace: [cat ] ==> afs_extract_data({65132},{524},1,,65536) [cat ] <== afs_extract_data() = -EBADMSG [0 < 65536] call->offset went from 65132 to 0. Fix this by making call->offset an unsigned int.

As Ingo requested, it'd be better off treating first (and the only) argument as a symbol filter, so that user doesn't need to input the symbol on the dialog window on TUI.
