I forgot about browser_ui->top. Fix it by resetting it to null after a

The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file
is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle
the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from
the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the
next read will continue where the data left off.

After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of
the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again
after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page
is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This
will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return
duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards
but instead data is just repeated.

The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read
from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more
data exists in the ring buffer.

When using multiple events the 'top' and 'report' tools will first
present the user with a menu to choose the event to browse.

After that the user can either press <- to go back to the menu and
choose another event or instead press TAB to go the next event without
having to go back to the menu or shift-TAB (UNTAB) to go the previous
event, useful to quickly visually see if multiple events are correlated.

The handling of each hists browser return was broken by the ed7e5662,
that combined both switches, the first that was for choosing the event
and the second that was for checking if switching to the next event
without passing thru the events menu.

Repeat with me: Don't be clever like that.

Fix it by moving the switch to right after the call to the hists
browser, making abundantly clear that the two switches are unrelated.

This also fixes a compiler warning about the 'pos' variable being
possibly used unitialized.

Merge branch 'tip/perf/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into perf/core

In browsers that access dynamic underlying data structures, like in the
hists browser and its hist_entry rb_tree, we need to revalidate any
reference to the underlying data structure, because they can have gone
away, decayed.

This fixes a problem where after a while the top entries get behind the
top of the screen, i.e. the top_idx stays at 0, which means it is at the
first entry in the rb_tree when in fact it wasn't because the
browser->top didn't got revalidated after the timer ran and the
underlying data structure got updated.

When doing intense tracing, the kmalloc inside trace_marker can
introduce side effects to what is being traced.

As trace_marker() is used by userspace to inject data into the
kernel ring buffer, it needs to do so with the least amount
of intrusion to the operations of the kernel or the user space
application.

As the ring buffer is designed to write directly into the buffer
without the need to make a temporary buffer, and userspace already
went through the hassle of knowing how big the write will be,
we can simply pin the userspace pages and write the data directly
into the buffer. This improves the impact of tracing via trace_marker
tremendously!

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner for pointing out the
use of get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic().

As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are
performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange
it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the
kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the
tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop
the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code
modification.

Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help
the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system
a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user
know that their data may be incomplete.

Previous patches allow the NMI subsystem to process multipe NMI events
in one NMI.  As previously discussed this can cause issues when an event
triggered another NMI but is processed in the current NMI.  This causes the
next NMI to go unprocessed and become an 'unknown' NMI.

To handle this, we first have to flag whether or not the NMI handler handled
more than one event or not.  If it did, then there exists a chance that
the next NMI might be already processed.  Once the NMI is flagged as a
candidate to be swallowed, we next look for a back-to-back NMI condition.

This is determined by looking at the %rip from pt_regs.  If it is the same
as the previous NMI, it is assumed the cpu did not have a chance to jump
back into a non-NMI context and execute code and instead handled another NMI.

If both of those conditions are true then we will swallow any unknown NMI.

There still exists a chance that we accidentally swallow a real unknown NMI,
but for now things seem better.

An optimization has also been added to the nmi notifier rountine.  Because x86
can latch up to one NMI while currently processing an NMI, we don't have to
worry about executing _all_ the handlers in a standalone NMI.  The idea is
if multiple NMIs come in, the second NMI will represent them.  For those
back-to-back NMI cases, we have the potentail to drop NMIs.  Therefore only
execute all the handlers in the second half of a detected back-to-back NMI.

Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines.
Most of it is straight forward conversion.  A couple of places needed some
tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler
and mce removes a call to notify_die.

[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call

And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163]

The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines
and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal
to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb
which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

The NMI handlers used to rely on the notifier infrastructure.  This worked
great until we wanted to support handling multiple events better.

One of the key ideas to the nmi handling is to process _all_ the handlers for
each NMI.  The reason behind this switch is because NMIs are edge triggered.
If enough NMIs are triggered, then they could be lost because the cpu can
only latch at most one NMI (besides the one currently being processed).

In order to deal with this we have decided to process all the NMI handlers
for each NMI.  This allows the handlers to determine if they recieved an
event or not (the ones that can not determine this will be left to fend
for themselves on the unknown NMI list).

As a result of this change it is now possible to have an extra NMI that
was destined to be received for an already processed event.  Because the
event was processed in the previous NMI, this NMI gets dropped and becomes
an 'unknown' NMI.  This of course will cause printks that scare people.

However, we prefer to have extra NMIs as opposed to losing NMIs and as such
are have developed a basic mechanism to catch most of them.  That will be
a later patch.

To accomplish this idea, I unhooked the nmi handlers from the notifier
routines and created a new mechanism loosely based on doIRQ.  The reason
for this is the notifier routines have a couple of shortcomings.  One we
could't guarantee all future NMI handlers used NOTIFY_OK instead of
NOTIFY_STOP.  Second, we couldn't keep track of the number of events being
handled in each routine (most only handle one, perf can handle more than one).
Third, I wanted to eventually display which nmi handlers are registered in
the system in /proc/interrupts to help see who is generating NMIs.

The patch below just implements the new infrastructure but doesn't wire it up
yet (that is the next patch).  Its design is based on doIRQ structs and the
atomic notifier routines.  So the rcu stuff in the patch isn't entirely untested
(as the notifier routines have soaked it) but it should be double checked in
case I copied the code wrong.

Intel does not have guest/host-only bit in perf counters like AMD
does.  To support GO/HO bits KVM needs to switch EVENTSELn values
(or PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL if available) at a guest entry. If a counter is
configured to count only in a guest mode it stays disabled in a host,
but VMX is configured to switch it to enabled value during guest entry.

This patch adds GO/HO tracking to Intel perf code and provides interface
for KVM to get a list of MSRs that need to be switched on a guest entry.

Only cpus with architectural PMU (v1 or later) are supported with this
patch.  To my knowledge there is not p6 models with VMX but without
architectural PMU and p4 with VMX are rare and the interface is general
enough to support them if need arise.

The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host
environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime,
profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track
what was recorded, on what machine and when.

This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file
with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions,
we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format.  The
change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files.

We define the following useful new extensions:
 - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname
 - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number
 - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture
 - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description
 - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus
 - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line
 - HEADER_VERSION: perf version
 - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology
 - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs)
 - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication

The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend
without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as
ASCII strings.

Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as
easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA
topology may be requested with the -I option.

Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of
this patch.

[ committer notes: Use --show-info in the tools as was in the docs, rename
  perf_header_fprintf_info to perf_file_section__fprintf_info, fixup
  conflict with f69b64f7 "perf: Support setting the disassembler style" ]

Previously the hist_browser dealt with a static tree of entries, now it
needs to update the nr_entries in the browser after the timer runs.

A better solution will come when moving using another thread for the
collapse_resort, etc, but for now this is ok.

When requesting multiple events, say:

  # perf top -e instructions -e cycles -e cache-misses

The first screen lets the user chose what to see first, then to switch
one can either use the left key to get back to the event menu or simply
use TAB to go the next and shift+TAB to go the prev.

When using TAB/UNTAB the call to perf_evlist__set_selected(event) was
missing, fix it.
