      perf tools: Add perf-with-kcore script · c501e90b
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Decoding an Intel PT trace of the kernel requires an accurate kernel
      object image.  This is provided by making a copy of kcore.  However the
      copy needs to be made under the same conditions as the original
      recording, and then it needs to be associated with the perf.data file.
      The perf-with-kcore script does that.
      
      The script also checks the permissions on the buildid cache and can be
      used to fix them.  That is needed for distributions where root does not
      have a home directory and consequently writes to the same buildid cache
      as the user, resulting in cached files that the user does not have
      access to.
      
      Example:
      
      $ ./perf-with-kcore
      Usage: perf-with-kcore <perf sub-command> <perf.data directory> [<sub-command options> [ -- <workload>]]
             <perf sub-command> can be record, script, report or inject
         or: perf-with-kcore fix_buildid_cache_permissions
      $ ./perf-with-kcore record pt_uname -e intel_pt// -- uname

      perf tools: Let a user specify a PMU event without any config terms · ad962273
      Adrian Hunter authored
      This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form:
      
      	pmu//
      
      which is effectively the same as:
      
      	pmu/config=0/
      
      This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU.
      
      Further explanation extracted from lkml thread:
      
      Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist.
      
      Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would
      not know how to decode them.
      
      Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'.
      
      It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older
      versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot
      turn it on by default.
      
      It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by
      default.
      
      The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.

      perf tools: Allow to specify lib compile variable for spec usage · 6997af72
      Jiri Olsa authored
      We need a way to specify $(lib) part of the installation path for
      traceevent plugin libraries. Currently we use 'lib64' for x86_64 and
      'lib' otherwise.
      
      Instead of listing all possible values, this change allows the rpm spec
      code to specify the correct $(lib) part based on processed architecture,
      like
      
        $ make ... lib=%{_lib}

      perf kvm stat report: Enable the target.system_wide flag · f181957c
      Alexander Yarygin authored
      The 'perf kvm stat report' command can be used to analyze events either
      for system wide or for specific pids.
      
      Let's enable kvm->opts.target.system_wide flag when 'report' command is
      running for system-wide analyzing. This helps to sync kvm->opts.target
      values in 'report' and 'live' commands.

       "The fixes all address recently discovered data corruption issues.
      
        The original Direct IO issue was discovered by Chris Mason @ Facebook
        on a production workload which mixed buffered reads with direct reads
        and writes IO to the same file.  The fix for that exposed other issues
        with page invalidation (exposed by millions of fsx operations) failing
        due to dirty buffers beyond EOF.
      
        Finally, the collapse_range code could also cause problems due to
        racing writeback changing the extent map while it was being shifted
        around.  The commits for that problem are simple mitigation fixes that
        prevent the problem from occuring.  A more robust fix for 3.18 that
        addresses the underlying problem is currently being worked on by
        Brian.

         - a direct IO read/buffered read data corruption

      timekeeping: Update timekeeper before updating vsyscall and pvclock · 9bf2419f
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
      seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
      shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
      sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
      is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
      operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.
      
      The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
      pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
      of the invoked update functions used base_mono.
      
      commit cbcf2dd3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
      nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
      the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.
      
      Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

      compat: nanosleep: Clarify error handling · 849151dd
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      The error handling in compat_sys_nanosleep() is correct, but
      completely non obvious. Document it and restrict it to the
      -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK return value for clarity.
