Frederic reported that frequency driven swevents didn't work properly
and even caused a division-by-zero error.
It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a
failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period().
The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison
in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and
got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is
that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true.
Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

Frederic reported that because swevents handling doesn't disable IRQs
anymore, we can get a recursion of perf_adjust_period(), once from
overflow handling and once from the tick.
If both call ->disable, we get a double hlist_del_rcu() and trigger
a LIST_POISON2 dereference.
Since we don't actually need to stop/start a swevent to re-programm
the hardware (lack of hardware to program), simply nop out these
callbacks for the swevent pmu.

If a sample size crosses to the next page boundary, the copy
will be made in more than one step. However we forget to advance
the source offset for the next copy, leading to unexpected double
copies that completely mess up the traces.
This fixes various kinds of bad traces that have irrelevant
data inside, as an example:

The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific
code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at
least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were
over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was
showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more
often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though
harder to expose.
The issues were:
- group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path
- cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing
actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot
update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In
case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back.
- in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called
and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg.
But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch
HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you
could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which
did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1.
The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems.
First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the
transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is
necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all
event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events.
Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in
group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations
symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction
and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag.
With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned
system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

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.

A writer that gets a reference to the buffer handle disables
preemption. When we put that reference, we check if we are
the outer most writer and if not, we simply return and defer
the head update to the outer most writer. The problem here
is that preemption is only reenabled by the outer most, that
produces preemption count imbalance for every nested writer
that exit.
So just don't forget to always re-enable preemption when we
put the buffer reference, whoever we are.
Fixes lots of sleeping in atomic warnings, visible with lock

The software events hlist doesn't fully comply with the new
rcu checks api.
We need to consider three different sides that access the hlist:
- the hlist allocation/release side. This side happens when an
events is created or released, accesses to the hlist are
serialized under the cpuctx mutex.
- the events insertion/removal in the hlist. This side is always
serialized against the above one. The hlist is always present
during such operations. This side happens when a software event
is scheduled in/out. The serialization that ensures the software
event is really attached to the context is made under the
ctx->lock.
- events triggering. This is the read side, it can happen
concurrently with any update side.
This patch deals with them one by one and anticipates with the
separate rcu mem space patches in preparation.
This patch fixes various annoying rcu warnings.

Commit 6bde9b6ce0 ("perf: Add
group scheduling transactional APIs") added code to allow a
group to be scheduled in a single transaction. However, it
introduced a bug in handling events whose pmu does not implement
transactions -- at the end of scheduling in the events in the
group, in the non-transactional case the code now falls through
to the group_error label, and proceeds to unschedule all the
events in the group and return failure.
This fixes it by returning 0 (success) in the non-transactional
case.

pmu::enable() not perform the schedulability test, it will be performed
at commit time.

The cpu/task clock events implement their own version of exclusion
on top of exclude_user and exclude_kernel.
The result is that when the event triggered in the kernel but we
have exclude_kernel set, we try to rewind using task_pt_regs.
There are two side effects of this:
- we call task_pt_regs even on kernel threads, which doesn't give
us the desired result.
- if the event occured in the kernel, we shouldn't rewind to the
user context. We want to actually ignore the event.
get_irq_regs() will always give us the right interrupted context, so
use its result and submit it to perf_exclude_context() that knows
when an event must be ignored.

Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through
the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts
to retrieve a running perf event that matches.
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.

Scheduler's task migration events don't work because they always
pass NULL regs perf_sw_event(). 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.

v2: Always build perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() now that software
events need that too. They don't need it from modules, unlike trace
events, so we keep the EXPORT_SYMBOL in trace_event_perf.c

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() is exported for the overriden x86
version, but not for the generic weak version.
As a general rule, weak functions should not have their symbol
exported in the same file they are defined.
So let's export it on trace_event_perf.c as it is used by trace
events only.
This fixes:
ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined!
ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] undefined!
-v2: And also only build it if trace events are enabled.
-v3: Fix changelog mistake

This patch is an optimization in perf_event_task_sched_in() to avoid
scheduling the events twice in a row.
Without it, the perf_disable()/perf_enable() pair is invoked twice,
thereby pinned events counts while scheduling flexible events and we go
throuh hw_perf_enable() twice.
By encapsulating, the whole sequence into perf_disable()/perf_enable() we
ensure, hw_perf_enable() is going to be invoked only once because of the
refcount protection.
