      perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating · 2fde4f94
      Mark Rutland authored 
      Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the
percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these
are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by
separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of
the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in
perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues:

* Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of
  PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been
  removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation
  lists (when memory backing the context is freed).

  This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as
  modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for
  said PMUs.

* Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the
  rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by
  the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick.

This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are
scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with
the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU,
this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts
can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts
rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to
handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little
simpler.

As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are
renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function.
perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to
perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

      perf: Drop module reference on event init failure · cc34b98b
      Mark Rutland authored 
      When initialising an event, perf_init_event will call try_module_get() to
ensure that the PMU's module cannot be removed for the lifetime of the
event, with __free_event() dropping the reference when the event is
finally destroyed. If something fails after the event has been
initialised, but before the event is installed, perf_event_alloc will
drop the reference on the module.

However, if we fail to initialise an event for some reason (e.g. we ask
an uncore PMU to perform sampling, and it refuses to initialise the
event), we do not drop the refcount. If we try to open such a bogus
event without a precise IDR type, we will loop over each PMU in the pmus
list, incrementing each of their refcounts without decrementing them.

This patch adds a module_put when pmu->event_init(event) fails, ensuring
that the refcounts are balanced in failure cases. As the innards of the
precise and search based initialisation look very similar, this logic is
hoisted out into a new helper function. While the early return for the
failed try_module_get is removed from the search case, this is handled
by the remaining return when ret is not -ENOENT.

      perf: Use POLLIN instead of POLL_IN for perf poll data in flag · 7c60fc0e
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Currently we flag available data (via poll syscall) on perf fd with
POLL_IN macro, which is normally used for SIGIO interface.

We've been lucky, because POLLIN (0x1) is subset of POLL_IN (0x20001)
and sys_poll (do_pollfd function) cut the extra bit out (0x20000).

      perf: Fix put_event() ctx lock · a83fe28e
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      So what I suspect; but I'm in zombie mode today it seems; is that while
I initially thought that it was impossible for ctx to change when
refcount dropped to 0, I now suspect its possible.

Note that until perf_remove_from_context() the event is still active and
visible on the lists. So a concurrent sys_perf_event_open() from another
task into this task can race.

      perf: Fix move_group() order · 8f95b435
      Peter Zijlstra (Intel) authored 
      Jiri reported triggering the new WARN_ON_ONCE in event_sched_out over
the weekend:

  event_sched_out.isra.79+0x2b9/0x2d0
  group_sched_out+0x69/0xc0
  ctx_sched_out+0x106/0x130

  smp_call_function_single+0x67/0xa0
  task_function_call+0x53/0x80
  perf_install_in_context+0x8b/0x110

I think the below should cure this; if we install a group leader it
will iterate the (still intact) group list and find its siblings and
try and install those too -- even though those still have the old
event->ctx -- in the new ctx.

Upon installing the first group sibling we'd try and schedule out the
group and trigger the above warn.

Fix this by installing the group leader last, installing siblings
would have no effect, they're not reachable through the group lists
and therefore we don't schedule them.

Also delay resetting the state until we're absolutely sure the events
are quiescent.

      perf: Fix event->ctx locking · f63a8daa
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      There have been a few reported issues wrt. the lack of locking around
changing event->ctx. This patch tries to address those.

It avoids the whole rwsem thing; and while it appears to work, please
give it some thought in review.

What I did fail at is sensible runtime checks on the use of
event->ctx, the RCU use makes it very hard.

      Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
 "One more week's worth of fixes.  Worth pointing out here are:

   - A patch fixing detaching of iommu registrations when a device is
     removed -- earlier the ops pointer wasn't managed properly
   - Another set of Renesas boards get the same GIC setup fixup as
     others have in previous -rcs
   - Serial port aliases fixups for sunxi.  We did the same to tegra but
     we caught that in time before the merge window due to more machines
     being affected.  Here it took longer for anyone to notice.
   - A couple more DT tweaks on sunxi
   - A follow-up patch for the mvebu coherency disabling in last -rc
     batch"
