      perf_events: Fix bogus context time tracking · c530ccd9
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      You can only call update_context_time() when the context
      is active, i.e., the thread it is attached to is still running.
      
      However, perf_event_read() can be called even when the context
      is inactive, e.g., user read() the counters. The call to
      update_context_time() must be conditioned on the status of
      the context, otherwise, bogus time_enabled, time_running may
      be returned. Here is an example on AMD64. The task program
      is an example from libpfm4. The -p prints deltas every 1s.
      
      $ task -p -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
          2,266,610 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      5,242,358,071 cpu_clk_unhalted (99.95% scaling, ena=5,000,359,984, run=2,319,270)
      
      Whereas if you don't read deltas, e.g., no call to perf_event_read() until
      the process terminates:
      
      $ task -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
          2,497,783 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,376,899, run=2,376,899)
      
      Notice that time_enable, time_running are bogus in the first example
      causing bogus scaling.
      
      This patch fixes the problem, by conditionally calling update_context_time()
      in perf_event_read().

      ftrace: Do not process kernel/trace/ftrace.o with C recordmcount program · 44475863
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The file kernel/trace/ftrace.c references the mcount() call to
      convert the mcount() callers to nops. But because it references
      mcount(), the mcount() address is placed in the relocation table.
      
      The C version of recordmcount reads the relocation table of all
      object files, and it will add all references to mcount to the
      __mcount_loc table that is used to find the places that call mcount()
      and change the call to a nop. When recordmcount finds the mcount reference
      in kernel/trace/ftrace.o, it saves that location even though the code
      is not a call, but references mcount as data.
      
      On boot up, when all calls are converted to nops, the code has a safety
      check to determine what op code it is actually replacing before it
      replaces it. If that op code at the address does not match, then
      a warning is printed and the function tracer is disabled.
      
      The reference to mcount in ftrace.c, causes this warning to trigger,
      since the reference is not a call to mcount(). The ftrace.c file is
      not compiled with the -pg flag, so no calls to mcount() should be
      expected.
      
      This patch simply makes recordmcount.c skip the kernel/trace/ftrace.c
      file. This was the same solution used by the perl version of
      recordmcount.

      oprofile: fix linker errors · b3b3a9b6
      Anand Gadiyar 提交于
      Commit e9677b3c (oprofile, ARM: Use oprofile_arch_exit() to
      cleanup on failure) caused oprofile_perf_exit to be called
      in the cleanup path of oprofile_perf_init. The __exit tag
      for oprofile_perf_exit should therefore be dropped.
      
      The same has to be done for exit_driverfs as well, as this
      function is called from oprofile_perf_exit. Else, we get
      the following two linker errors.

      ftrace: Rename config option HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT · cf4db259
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
      the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
      called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
      be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
      renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
      we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

      ftrace: Remove duplicate code for 64 and 32 bit in recordmcount.c · c28d5077
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The elf reader for recordmcount.c had duplicate functions for both
      32 bit and 64 bit elf handling. This was due to the need of using
      the 32 and 64 bit elf structures.
      
      This patch consolidates the two by using macros to define the 32
      and 64 bit names in a recordmcount.h file, and then by just defining
      a RECORD_MCOUNT_64 macro and including recordmcount.h twice we
      create the funtions for both the 32 bit version as well as the
      64 bit version using one code source.

      x86: Barf when vmalloc and kmemcheck faults happen in NMI · ebc8827f
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      In x86, faults exit by executing the iret instruction, which then
      reenables NMIs if we faulted in NMI context. Then if a fault
      happens in NMI, another NMI can nest after the fault exits.
      
      But we don't yet support nested NMIs because we have only one NMI
      stack. To prevent from that, check that vmalloc and kmemcheck
      faults don't happen in this context. Most of the other kernel faults
      in NMIs can be more easily spotted by finding explicit
      copy_from,to_user() calls on review.
