      perf_counter: Ammend cleanup in fork() fail · bbbee908
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      When fork() fails we cannot use perf_counter_exit_task() since that
      assumes to operate on current. Write a new helper that cleans up
      unused/clean contexts.

      perf_counter: Clean up task_ctx vs interrupts · 665c2142
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Remove the local_irq_save() etc.. in routines that are smp function
      calls, or have IRQs disabled by other means.
      
      Then change the COMM, MMAP, and swcounter context iteration to
      current->perf_counter_ctxp and RCU, since it really doesn't matter
      which context they iterate, they're all folded.

      perf_counter: Fix COMM and MMAP events for cpu wide counters · efb3d172
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Commit a63eaf34 ("perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks'
      perf_counter_context struct") broke COMM and MMAP notification for
      cpu wide counters by dropping out early if there was no task context,
      thereby also not iterating the cpu context.

      perf_counter: Don't swap contexts containing locked mutex · ad3a37de
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Peter Zijlstra pointed out that under some circumstances, we can take
      the mutex in a context or a counter and then swap that context or
      counter to another task, potentially leading to lock order inversions
      or the mutexes not protecting what they are supposed to protect.
      
      This fixes the problem by making sure that we never take a mutex in a
      context or counter which could get swapped to another task.  Most of
      the cases where we take a mutex is on a top-level counter or context,
      i.e. a counter which has an fd associated with it or a context that
      contains such a counter.  This adds WARN_ON_ONCE statements to verify
      that.
      
      The two cases where we need to take the mutex on a context that is a
      clone of another are in perf_counter_exit_task and
      perf_counter_init_task.  The perf_counter_exit_task case is solved by
      uncloning the context before starting to remove the counters from it.
      The perf_counter_init_task is a little trickier; we temporarily
      disable context swapping for the parent (forking) task by setting its
      ctx->parent_gen to the all-1s value after locking the context, if it
      is a cloned context, and restore the ctx->parent_gen value at the end
      if the context didn't get uncloned in the meantime.
      
      This also moves the increment of the context generation count to be
      within the same critical section, protected by the context mutex, that
      adds the new counter to the context.  That way, taking the mutex is
      sufficient to ensure that both the counter list and the generation
      count are stable.

      perf_counter tools: Also display time-normalized stat results · be1ac0d8
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Add new column that normalizes counter results by
      'nanoseconds spent running' unit.
      
      Before:
      
       Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench':

       Wall-clock time elapsed:   810.514504 msecs
      
      After:
      
       Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench':
      
         10469.403605  task clock ticks     (msecs)
                75502  context switches     #        0.007 M/sec
                 9501  CPU migrations       #        0.001 M/sec
                36158  pagefaults           #        0.003 M/sec
          31975676185  CPU cycles           #     3054.202 M/sec

       Wall-clock time elapsed:   810.514504 msecs
      
      The advantage of that column is that it is characteristic of the
      execution workflow, regardless of runtime. Hence 'hackbench 10'
      will look similar to 'hackbench 15' - while the absolute counter
      values are very different.

      perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting · c93f7669
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between
      identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible
      that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the
      wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from
      another task via fork.  This happens because the optimized context
      switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context
      has read task->perf_counter_ctxp.  In fact, it's possible that the
      context could then get freed, if the other task then exits.
      
      This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the
      critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks.  The context switch
      locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before
      swapping them.  That means that once code such as find_get_context
      has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task,
      the context can't get swapped to another task.  However, the context
      may have been swapped in the interval between reading
      task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to
      check and retry.
      
      To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in
      find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code
      to use RCU.  Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no
      contexts can get freed.  This part of the patch is lifted from a patch
      posted by Peter Zijlstra.
      
      This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a
      task that is exiting.
      
      There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and
      find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that
      was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context,
      so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it
      won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task.  It
      doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached
      to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context
      from the task.  They will just stay there and never get scheduled in
      until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove
      them from the context and eventually free the context.
      
      With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather
      than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually,
      we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a
      context).  We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a
      context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned
      context.
      
      This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter
      Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a
      full barrier anyway.

      This error condition:
      
        aldebaran:~/linux/linux/Documentation/perf_counter> perf report
        dso__load_sym: cannot get elf header.
        failed to open: /etc/ld.so.cache
        problem processing PERF_EVENT_MMAP, bailing out
      
      caused the profile to be very short - as the error was at the beginning
      of the file and we bailed out completely.
      
      Be more permissive and consider the event broken instead.

      perf record: Fix the profiling of existing pid or whole box · ef65b2a0
      Mike Galbraith authored
      Perf record bails if no command argument is provided, so you can't use
      naked -a or -p to profile a running task or the whole box.
      
      Allow foreground profiling of an existing pid or the entire system.

      Tighten up our C code requirements:
      
       - disallow warnings
       - disallow declarations-mixed-with-statements
       - require proper prototypes
       - require C99 (with gcc extensions)
      
      Fix up a ton of problems these measures unearth:
      
       - unused functions
       - needlessly global functions
       - missing prototypes
       - code mixed with declarations
