      perf test: Add test for the evlist mmap routines · de5fa3a8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This test will generate random numbers of calls to some getpid syscalls,
      then establish an mmap for a group of events that are created to monitor
      these syscalls.
      
      It will receive the events, using mmap, use its PERF_SAMPLE_ID generated
      sample.id field to map back to its respective perf_evsel instance.
      
      Then it checks if the number of syscalls reported as perf events by the
      kernel corresponds to the number of syscalls made.

      perf record: Use perf_evlist__mmap · 0a27d7f9
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      There is more stuff that can go to the perf_ev{sel,list} layer, like
      detecting if sample_id_all is available, etc, but lets try using this in
      'perf test' first.

      perf evlist: Move the mmap array from perf_evsel · 70db7533
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Adopting the new model used in 'perf record', where we don't have a map
      per thread per cpu, instead we have an mmap per cpu, established on the
      first fd for that cpu and ask the kernel using the
      PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl to send events for the other fds on that
      cpu for the one with the mmap.
      
      The methods moved from perf_evsel to perf_evlist, but for easing review
      they were modified in place, in evsel.c, the next patch will move the
      migrated methods to evlist.c.
      
      With this 'perf top' now uses the same mmap model used by 'perf record'
      and the next patches will make 'perf record' use these new routines,
      establishing a common codebase for both tools.

      Now that it handles group_fd and inherit we can use it, sharing it with
      stat.
      
      Next step: 'perf record' should use, then move the mmap_array out of
      ->priv and into perf_evsel, with top and record sharing this, and at the
      same time, write a 'perf test' stress test.

      dbe08d82 "perf: Fix
      find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race" added
      rcu_dereference() into perf_event_exit_task_context() to make
      the precedent, but this makes __rcu_dereference_check() unhappy.
      Use rcu_dereference_raw() to shut up the warning.

      perf test: Use cpu_map->[cpu] when setting affinity · ffb5e0fb

      When some of CPUs are offline:
      
       # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
       0,6-31
      
      perf test will fail on #3 testcase:
      
         3: detect open syscall event on all cpus:
         --- start ---
         perf_evsel__read_on_cpu: expected to intercept 111 calls on cpu 0, got 681
         perf_evsel__read_on_cpu: expected to intercept 112 calls on cpu 1, got 117

         ....
      
      This patch try to use 'cpus->map[cpu]' when setting cpu affinity, and
      will check the return code of sched_setaffinity()

      perf symbols: Fix annotation of thumb code · b2f8fb23
      Dr. David Alan Gilbert authored
      In ARM's Thumb mode the bottom bit of the symbol address is set to mark
      the function as Thumb; the instructions are in reality 2 or 4 byte on 2
      byte alignments, and when the +1 address is used in annotate it causes
      objdump to disassemble invalid instructions.
      
      The patch removes that bottom bit during symbol loading.
      
      Many thinks to Dave Martin for comments on an initial version of the
      patch.

      perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splat · 547e9fd7
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Lockdep spotted:
      
      	loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock:
      	 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7
      
      	but task is already holding lock:
      	 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218
      
      	which lock already depends on the new lock.
      
      	the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
      
      	-> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}:
      	-> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:
      	-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}:
      	-> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}:
      
      But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork
      (task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the
      perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those
      used by tasks.

      powerpc, perf: Fix frequency calculation for overflowing counters (FSL version) · 8c8a9b25
      Anton Blanchard authored
      When fixing the frequency calculations for perf on powerpc I
      forgot to fix the FSL version.
      
      If we dont set event->hw.last_period the frequency to period
      calculations in perf go haywire and we continually
      throttle/unthrottle the PMU.

      perf: Fix perf_event_init_task()/perf_event_free_task() interaction · 8550d7cb
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      perf_event_init_task() should clear child->perf_event_ctxp[]
      before anything else. Otherwise, if
      perf_event_init_context(perf_hw_context) fails,
      perf_event_free_task() can free perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]
      copied from parent->perf_event_ctxp[] by dup_task_struct().
      
      Also move the initialization of perf_event_mutex and
      perf_event_list from perf_event_init_context() to
      perf_event_init_context().

      perf: Fix find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race · dbe08d82
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      find_get_context() must not install the new perf_event_context
      if the task has already passed perf_event_exit_task().
      
      If nothing else, this means the memory leak. Initially
      ctx->refcount == 2, it is supposed that
      perf_event_exit_task_context() should participate and do the
      necessary put_ctx().
      
      find_lively_task_by_vpid() checks PF_EXITING but this buys
      nothing, by the time we call find_get_context() this task can be
      already dead. To the point, cmpxchg() can succeed when the task
      has already done the last schedule().
      
      Change find_get_context() to populate task->perf_event_ctxp[]
      under task->perf_event_mutex, this way we can trust PF_EXITING
      because perf_event_exit_task() takes the same mutex.
      
      Also, change perf_event_exit_task_context() to use
      rcu_dereference(). Probably this is not strictly needed, but
      with or without this change find_get_context() can race with
      setup_new_exec()->perf_event_exit_task(), rcu_dereference()
      looks better.
