      tracing: Do not allow llseek to set_ftrace_filter · 9c55cb12
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things.
      
      1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer
      2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer
      3) shows what triggers are set on any functions
      
      3 is independent from 1 and 2.
      
      The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine,
      and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks
      when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync
      and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops.
      
      Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app
      dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the
      set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter).
      
      A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for
      a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the
      set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the
      next major release.

      perf, x86: Try to handle unknown nmis with an enabled PMU · 4177c42a
      Robert Richter 提交于
      When the PMU is enabled it is valid to have unhandled nmis, two
      events could trigger 'simultaneously' raising two back-to-back
      NMIs. If the first NMI handles both, the latter will be empty
      and daze the CPU.
      
      The solution to avoid an 'unknown nmi' massage in this case was
      simply to stop the nmi handler chain when the PMU is enabled by
      stating the nmi was handled. This has the drawback that a) we
      can not detect unknown nmis anymore, and b) subsequent nmi
      handlers are not called.
      
      This patch addresses this. Now, we check this unknown NMI if it
      could be a PMU back-to-back NMI. Otherwise we pass it and let
      the kernel handle the unknown nmi.
      
      This is a debug log:

       Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 00 on CPU 6.
       Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?

       counter nmi #32348 1773      <<<< 3rd nmi (back-to-back)
       handling no counter! [3]
      
      For  back-to-back nmi detection there are the following rules:
      
      The PMU nmi handler was handling more than one counter and no
      counter was handled in the subsequent nmi (see [1] and [2]
      above).
      
      There is another case if there are two subsequent back-to-back
      nmis [3]. The 2nd is detected as back-to-back because the first
      handled more than one counter. If the second handles one counter
      and the 3rd handles nothing, we drop the 3rd nmi because it
      could be a back-to-back nmi.

      perf, x86: Fix accidentally ack'ing a second event on intel perf counter · 2e556b5b
      Don Zickus 提交于
      During testing of a patch to stop having the perf subsytem
      swallow nmis, it was uncovered that Nehalem boxes were randomly
      getting unknown nmis when using the perf tool.
      
      Moving the ack'ing of the PMI closer to when we get the status
      allows the hardware to properly re-set the PMU bit signaling
      another PMI was triggered during the processing of the first
      PMI.  This allows the new logic for dealing with the
      shortcomings of multiple PMIs to handle the extra NMI by
      'eat'ing it later.
      
      Now one can wonder why are we getting a second PMI when we
      disable all the PMUs in the begining of the NMI handler to
      prevent such a case, for that I do not know.  But I know the fix
      below helps deal with this quirk.
      
      Tested on multiple Nehalems where the problem was occuring.
      With the patch, the code now loops a second time to handle the
      second PMI (whereas before it was not).

      lockup_detector: Sync touch_*_watchdog back to old semantics · 68d3f1d8
      Don Zickus 提交于
      During my rewrite, the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog and
      touch_softlockup_watchdog changed enough to break some drivers
      (mostly over preemptable regions).
      
      These are cases where long delays on one CPU (due to
      print_delay for example) can cause long delays on other
      CPUs - so we must 'touch' the nmi_watchdog flag of those
      other CPUs as well.
      
      This change brings those touch_*_watchdog() functions back in line
      with to how they used to work.

      perf_events: Fix time tracking for events with pid != -1 and cpu != -1 · fa66f07a
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      Per-thread events with a cpu filter, i.e., cpu != -1, were not
      reporting correct timings when the thread never ran on the
      monitored cpu. The time enabled was reported as a negative
      value.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by updating tstamp_stopped,
      tstamp_running in event_sched_out() for events with filters and
      which are marked as INACTIVE.
      
      The function group_sched_out() is modified to systematically
      call into event_sched_out() to avoid duplicating the timing
      adjustment code twice.
      
      With the patch, I now get:
      
      $ task_cpu -i -e unhalted_core_cycles,unhalted_core_cycles

      perf: Initialize callchains roots's childen hits · 5225c458
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the
      callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the
      tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got
      random values on their creation.
      
      The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage
      of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum
      hits expected from children branches. If the random value due
      to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number
      of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches.
      
      The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to
      fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.
