682968e0c4 uprobes/core: Optimize probe hits with the help of a counter
Maintain a per-mm counter: number of uprobes that are inserted
on this process address space.

This counter can be used at probe hit time to determine if we
need a lookup in the uprobes rbtree. Everytime a probe gets
inserted successfully, the probe count is incremented and
everytime a probe gets removed, the probe count is decremented.

The new uprobe_munmap hook ensures the count is correct on a
unmap or remap of a region. We expect that once a
uprobe_munmap() is called, the vma goes away.  So
uprobe_unregister() finding a probe to unregister would either
mean unmap event hasnt occurred yet or a mmap event on the same
executable file occured after a unmap event.

Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called:

 a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork.
 b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also
    happens at the required address.

On process creation, make sure the probes count in the child is
set correctly.

Special cases that are taken care include:

 a. mremap
 b. VM_DONTCOPY vmas on fork()
 c. insertion/removal races in the parent during fork().

d4b3b6384f uprobes/core: Allocate XOL slots for uprobes use
Uprobes executes the original instruction at a probed location
out of line. For this, we allocate a page (per mm) upon the
first uprobe hit, in the process user address space, divide it
into slots that are used to store the actual instructions to be
singlestepped. These slots are known as xol (execution out of
line) slots.

Care is taken to ensure that the allocation is in an unmapped
area as close to the top of the user address space as possible,
with appropriate permission settings to keep selinux like
frameworks happy.

Upon a uprobe hit, a free slot is acquired, and is released
after the singlestep completes.

Lots of improvements courtesy suggestions/inputs from Peter and
Oleg.

[ Folded a fix for build issue on powerpc fixed and reported by
  Stephen Rothwell. ]

0326f5a94d uprobes/core: Handle breakpoint and singlestep exceptions
Uprobes uses exception notifiers to get to know if a thread hit
a breakpoint or a singlestep exception.

When a thread hits a uprobe or is singlestepping post a uprobe
hit, the uprobe exception notifier sets its TIF_UPROBE bit,
which will then be checked on its return to userspace path
(do_notify_resume() ->uprobe_notify_resume()), where the
consumers handlers are run (in task context) based on the
defined filters.

Uprobe hits are thread specific and hence we need to maintain
information about if a task hit a uprobe, what uprobe was hit,
the slot where the original instruction was copied for xol so
that it can be singlestepped with appropriate fixups.

In some cases, special care is needed for instructions that are
executed out of line (xol). These are architecture specific
artefacts, such as handling RIP relative instructions on x86_64.

Since the instruction at which the uprobe was inserted is
executed out of line, architecture specific fixups are added so
that the thread continues normal execution in the presence of a
uprobe.

Postpone the signals until we execute the probed insn.
post_xol() path does a recalc_sigpending() before return to
user-mode, this ensures the signal can't be lost.

Uprobes relies on DIE_DEBUG notification to notify if a
singlestep is complete.

Adds x86 specific uprobe exception notifiers and appropriate
hooks needed to determine a uprobe hit and subsequent post
processing.

Add requisite x86 fixups for xol for uprobes. Specific cases
needing fixups include relative jumps (x86_64), calls, etc.

Where possible, we check and skip singlestepping the
breakpointed instructions. For now we skip single byte as well
as few multibyte nop instructions. However this can be extended
to other instructions too.

Credits to Oleg Nesterov for suggestions/patches related to
signal, breakpoint, singlestep handling code.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this better solution. It
should work as long as the initial value of the region is all

96379f6007 uprobes/core: Remove uprobe_opcode_sz
uprobe_opcode_sz refers to the smallest instruction size for
that architecture. UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE refers to the size of
the breakpoint instruction for that architecture.

For now we are assuming that both uprobe_opcode_sz and
UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE are the same for all archs and hence
removing uprobe_opcode_sz in favour of UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE.

However if we have to support architectures where the smallest
instruction size is different from the size of breakpoint
instruction, we may have to re-introduce uprobe_opcode_sz.

f39d47ff81 perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start()
The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following
commit:

        e050e3f0a7 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")

The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on
the sampling frequency adjustments:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4()

It was caused by the following call sequence:

perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() {
     stop()
     if (delta > 0) {
          perf_adjust_period() {
              if (period > 8*...) {
                  stop()
                  ...
                  start()
              }
          }
      }
      start()
}

Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering
the assert in x86_pmu_start().

The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We
pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether
or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the
start/stop from that function because it's called from
__perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a
stop/start back-toback call.

The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which
was removed by commit:

	84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()")

In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU
during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report
of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

e050e3f0a7 perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling
This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism.

It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The
unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each
timer tick.

This patch solves this problem and also separates:

  - unthrottling
  - multiplexing
  - frequency-mode period adjustments

Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick.

This third version of the patch is based on my original patch +
PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87).

At each timer tick, for each context:

  - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events

  - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods

  - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate)

We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling
period adjustments.  They should not necessarily happen at the same
rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1
but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs).

We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the
same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in
frequency mode, we scan the events only once.

We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow().
There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate
because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right
place.

The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods,
frequency mode, overcommitted PMU.

On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU:

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
 2000

We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000):

 $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000  noploop 10
 $ perf report -D | tail -21

 Aggregated stats:
           TOTAL events:      80086
            MMAP events:         88
            COMM events:          2
            EXIT events:          4
        THROTTLE events:      19996
      UNTHROTTLE events:      19996
          SAMPLE events:      40000

 cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:      40006
            MMAP events:          5
            COMM events:          1
            EXIT events:          4
        THROTTLE events:       9998
      UNTHROTTLE events:       9998
          SAMPLE events:      20000

 cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:      39996
        THROTTLE events:       9998
      UNTHROTTLE events:       9998
          SAMPLE events:      20000

For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.
We get exactly that: 20000 samples/event.

AFAIK only powerpc actually has a usable userspace read of the PMCs

ARM is restored to the default since it currently does not support

bb9d97b6df cgroup: don't use subsys->can_attach_task() or ->attach_task()
Now that subsys->can_attach() and attach() take @tset instead of
@task, they can handle per-task operations.  Convert
->can_attach_task() and ->attach_task() users to use ->can_attach()
and attach() instead.  Most converions are straight-forward.
Noteworthy changes are,

* In cgroup_freezer, remove unnecessary NULL assignments to unused
  methods.  It's useless and very prone to get out of sync, which
  already happened.

* In cpuset, PF_THREAD_BOUND test is checked for each task.  This
  doesn't make any practical difference but is conceptually cleaner.

b202952075 perf, core: Rate limit perf_sched_events jump_label patching
jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all
cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable
from userspace by unprivileged user.

When te user runs a loop like this:

  "while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done"

... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter
for one second drops by 4%.

This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of
them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse.

Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf
record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event
frequently.

This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses
it to fix the above problem.

I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more
common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing
it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to
perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this
patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the
number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a
similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in
perf_rotate_context().

By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for
the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.

10c6db110d perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-event
When you do:
        $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10

You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at
1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You
get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event:

$ perf report -D | tail -15
Aggregated stats:
           TOTAL events:      10998
            MMAP events:         66
            COMM events:          2
          SAMPLE events:      10930
cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:       3644
          SAMPLE events:       3644
cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:       3642
          SAMPLE events:       3642
cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:       3644
          SAMPLE events:       3644

On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable
of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those
events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active).
And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number
of samples per event.

The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer
to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user
notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file
descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling
on it.  The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer,
i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes
notifications for any event will come via that descriptor.

The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the
ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could
perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause
the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be
referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL.

Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup
from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited
upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it
works for now.

5d81e5cfb3 events: Don't divide events if it has field period
This patch solves the following problem:

Now some samples may be lost due to throttling. The number of samples is
restricted by sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ.  A trace event is
divided on some samples according to event's period.  I don't sure, that
we should generate more than one sample on each trace event. I think the
better way to use SAMPLE_PERIOD.

E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process, which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms.  perf got 100 events in both cases.

swapper     0 [000]  1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper     0 [000]  1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]

In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and
in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events.
perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. It's
bug.

With this patch kernel generates one event on each "sleep" and the time
slice is saved in the field "period". Perf knows how handle it.

dcfce4a095 oprofile, x86: Reimplement nmi timer mode using perf event
The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation
of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer
mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi
source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer
available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs
with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch
reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source.

V2:
* removing pr_info()
* fix undefined reference to `__udivdi3' for 32 bit build
* fix section mismatch of .cpuinit.data:nmi_timer_cpu_nb
* removed nmi timer setup in arch/x86
* implemented function stubs for op_nmi_init/exit()
* made code more readable in oprofile_init()

V3:
* fix architectural initialization in oprofile_init()
* fix CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER dependencies

4536e4d1d2 Revert "perf: Add PM notifiers to fix CPU hotplug races"
This reverts commit 144060fee0.

It causes a resume regression for Andi on his Acer Aspire 1830T post
3.1.  The screen just stays black after wakeup.

Also, it really looks like the wrong way to suspend and resume perf
events: I think they should be done as part of the CPU suspend and
resume, rather than as a notifier that does smp_call_function().

bc3e53f682 mm: distinguish between mlocked and pinned pages
Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by
increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked".

The difference between mlocking and pinning is:

A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from
   swapping. Page migration may move them around though.
   They are kept on a special LRU list.

B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to
   directly access physical memory. They may not be on any
   LRU list.

I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became
bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some
memory was accounted for twice:

Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband
layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA
memory.

This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and
accounts them seperately.

6e5fdeedca kernel: Fix files explicitly needing EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure
These files were getting <linux/module.h> via an implicit non-obvious
path, but we want to crush those out of existence since they cost
time during compiles of processing thousands of lines of headers
for no reason.  Give them the lightweight header that just contains
the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure.

7f310a5d4e perf_event: Fix broken calc_timer_values()
We detected a serious issue with PERF_SAMPLE_READ and
timing information when events were being multiplexing.

Samples would have time_running > time_enabled. That
was easy to reproduce with a libpfm4 example (ran 3
times to cause multiplexing on Core 2):

 $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
 $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
 $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
 IIP:0x0000000040062d ... PERIOD:2355332948 ENA=40144625315 RUN=60014875184
 syst_smpl: WARNING: time_running > time_enabled
	63277537998 uops_retired:freq=1 , scaled

The bug was not present in kernel up to (and including) 3.0. It turns
out the bug was introduced by the following commit:

commit c479429591

    events: Move lockless timer calculation into helper function

The parameters of the function got reversed yet the call sites
were not updated to reflect the change. That lead to time_running
and time_enabled being swapped. That had no effect when there was
no multiplexing because in that case time_running = time_enabled
but it would show up in any other scenario.
