perf, powerpc: Fix hw breakpoints returning -ENOSPC
I've been trying to get hardware breakpoints with perf to work on POWER7 but I'm getting the following: % perf record -e mem:0x10000000 true Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 28 (No space left on device). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? true: Terminated (FWIW adding -a and it works fine) Debugging it seems that __reserve_bp_slot() is returning ENOSPC because it thinks there are no free breakpoint slots on this CPU. I have a 2 CPUs, so perf userspace is doing two perf_event_open syscalls to add a counter to each CPU [1]. The first syscall succeeds but the second is failing. On this second syscall, fetch_bp_busy_slots() sets slots.pinned to be 1, despite there being no breakpoint on this CPU. This is because the call the task_bp_pinned, checks all CPUs, rather than just the current CPU. POWER7 only has one hardware breakpoint per CPU (ie. HBP_NUM=1), so we return ENOSPC. The following patch fixes this by checking the associated CPU for each breakpoint in task_bp_pinned. I'm not familiar with this code, so it's provided as a reference to the above issue.
