So seperating nmi and others contexts in two buffers has become racy. Fix this by providing one buffer per nesting level. Given the size of the callchain entries (2040 bytes * 4), we now need to allocate them dynamically. v2: Fixed put_callchain_entry call after recursion. Fix the type of the recursion, it must be an array. v3: Use a manual pr cpu allocation (temporary solution until NMIs can safely access vmalloc'ed memory). Do a better separation between callchain reference tracking and allocation. Make the "put" path lockless for non-release cases. v4: Protect the callchain buffers with rcu. v5: Do the cpu buffers allocations node affine.

* | hw_breakpoints: Fix per task breakpoint trackingFrederic Weisbecker2010-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Freeing a perf event can happen in several ways. A task calls perf_event_exit_task() right before exiting. This helper will detach all the events from the task context and queue their removal through free_event() if they are child tasks. The task also loses its context reference there. Releasing the breakpoint slot from the constraint table is made from free_event() that calls release_bp_slot(). We count the number of breakpoints this task is running by looking at the task's perf_event_ctxp and iterating through its attached events. But at this time, the reference to this context has been cleaned up already. So looking at the event->ctx instead of task->perf_event_ctxp to count the remaining breakpoints should solve the problem. At least it would for child breakpoints, but not for parent ones. If the parent exits before the child, it will remove all its events from the context but free_event() will be called later, on fd release time. And checking the number of breakpoints the task has attached to its context at this time is unreliable as all events have been removed from the context. To solve this, we keep track of the list of per task breakpoints. On top of it, we maintain our array of numbers of breakpoints used by the tasks. We use the context address as a task id. So, instead of looking at the number of events attached to a context, we walk through our list of per task breakpoints and count the number of breakpoints that use the same ctx than the one to be reserved or released from the constraint table, and update the count on top of this result. In the meantime it solves a bad refcounting, it also solves a warning, reported by Paul.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Group siblings don't pin each-other or the parent, so when we destroy events we must make sure to clean up all cross referencing pointers. In particular, for destruction of a group leader we must be able to find all its siblings and remove their reference to it. This means that detaching an event from its context must not detach it from the group, otherwise we can end up failing to clear all pointers. Solve this by clearly separating the attachment to a context and attachment to a group, and keep the group composed until we destroy the events.

* perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABIPeter Zijlstra2010-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field: 0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid 1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid 2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid 3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup. Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual instruction triggering the event. This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more than a single event.

We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting. This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling down with a growing number of events running on the same contexts. To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when they trigger. v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic maths along the way) - Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it if needed when it becomes online. - Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore. v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to Eric Dumazet who spotted this. - While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path to lock the hlist mutex sanely.

The event hence gets filtered in perf_swevent_add(). Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread. Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event, we need to save the current context. This makes the task migration event working and fix the context switch callchains and origin ip.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are executed in the same context than the code that triggered the event. It means we need a different api to capture the regs there, namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags for further purposes. v2: rename perf_save_regs to perf_fetch_caller_regs as per Masami's suggestion.
