update FTRACE_SYSCALL_MAX to the current number of syscalls FTRACE_SYSCALL_MAX is a temporary solution to get the number of syscalls supported by the arch until we find a more dynamic way to get this number.

Introduce a new 'DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK()' macro, so that tracepoints can associate an external register/unregister function. This prepares for the syscalls tracer conversion to trace events. We will need to perform arch level operations once a syscall event is turned on/off, such as TIF flags setting, hence the need of such specific callbacks.

Commit d945cb9c ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data properly when the tty is stopped. So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write() routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check 'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written. This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things, but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped' handling.

Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case: | pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case | in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong | CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success | section. I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle counter was read without proper serialization. The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since _inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration. So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized. In other words: - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last iteration, rather than in every iteration - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read. Here's a suggested replacement.

We compute the perf raw sample size by aligning the raw ftrace event size plus the buffer size field itself. We do that instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we might economize some in some cases. But this buffer size field is not stored in the perf raw sample, we must then substract its size from the buffer once we computed the alignment unless we may get a useless u32 field in the buffer.

The problem is minor, but without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds. Now we do not need to re-check task->mm after ptrace_may_access(), it can't be changed to the new mm under us. Strictly speaking, this also fixes another very minor problem. Unless security check fails or the task exits mm_for_maps() should never return NULL, the caller should get either old or new ->mm.

It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(), but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle. Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies the code a little bit. Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should take this lock. With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the limit given by the user. Say you launched: perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10 perf report -g fractal,10.0 And you got: 2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave | |--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue | poll_freewait | do_sys_poll | sys_poll | sysenter_dispatch | 0xf7ffa430 | 0x1ffadea3c | |--7.14%-- __up_read | up_read | do_page_fault | page_fault | 0xf7ffa430 | 0xa0df710000000a ... It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10% filter. The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3 events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows: limit = 4 * 0.9; The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75% We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

perf tools: callchain: Fix sum of percentages to be 100% by displaying amount of ignored chains in fractal mode When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we ignore them and the end result only shows entries that have an upper percentage than the filter threshold. It seems to users then that we have an imbalance in the percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't reach 100%. Since in the past there have been real perf report bugs that showed the same sypmtom, it would be nice to assure the user that the data is perfect and trustable and it all sums up to 100.00%. So fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been filtered but without more detail than their amount in each branches. Example while filtering below 50%: 7.73% [k] delay_tsc | |--98.22%-- __const_udelay | | | |--86.37%-- ath5k_hw_register_timeout | | ath5k_hw_noise_floor_calibration | | ath5k_hw_reset | | ath5k_reset | | ath5k_config | | ieee80211_hw_config | | | | | |--88.53%-- ieee80211_scan_work | | | worker_thread | | | kthread | | | child_rip | | --11.47%-- [...] | --13.63%-- [...] --1.78%-- [...] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> LKML-Reference: <1249690585-9145-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
