Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 37982ba0a0 perf events: Default to using event__process_lost
Tool developers have to fill in a 'perf_event_ops' method table to
specify how to handle each event, so far the ones that were not
explicitely especified would get a stub that would just discard the
event.

Change that so that tool developers can get the lost event details and
the total number of such events at the end of 'perf report -D' output.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo baa2f6cedb perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-ids
Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.

For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.

Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

Peter Zijlstra 004417a6d4 perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detector
The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).

The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.

Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

Don Zickus 33c6d6a7ad x86, perf, nmi: Disable perf if counters are not accessible
In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated.  Instead they
return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing
a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have
specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all
NMIs thinking the counters overflowed.

This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its
magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests.

The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the
initialization and hopefully reading back the same number.  On kvm
guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as
a result.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c1a3a4b90a perf record: Handle restrictive permissions in /proc/{kallsyms,modules}
The 59365d1 commit, even being reverted by 33e0d57, showed a non robust
behavior in 'perf record': it really should just warn the user that some
functionality will not be available.

The new behavior then becomes:

	-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/modules

	Couldn't record kernel reference relocation symbol
	Symbol resolution may be skewed if relocation was used (e.g. kexec).
	Check /proc/kallsyms permission or run as root.
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

It still has the build-ids for DSOs in the maps with hits:

[acme@felicio linux]$ perf buildid-list

That can be used in another machine to resolve kernel symbols.

Corey Ashford d9cf837ef9 perf stat: Change and clean up sys_perf_event_open error handling
This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":

- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".

In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):

"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."

This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's.  However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

Lukas Czerner e681c047e4 ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard
Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().

It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.

struct fstrim_range {
	__u64 start;
	__u64 len;
	__u64 minlen;
}

start	- first Byte to trim
len	- number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen	- minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
  number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
  block size.

After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

Lukas Czerner 93bb41f4f8 fs: Do not dispatch FITRIM through separate super_operation
There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included
in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point
in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through
->ioctl.

So this commit removes ioctl_fstrim() from vfs ioctl and trim_fs
from super_operation structure.

Linus Torvalds 33e0d57f5d Revert "kernel: make /proc/kallsyms mode 400 to reduce ease of attacking"
This reverts commit 59365d136d.

It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:

 "On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
  and my box would not boot.  klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
  system.

  At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
  after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in.  It dropped back to the
  text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
  of time.  dmesg surprisingly still works.  I've bisected the problem
  down to this commit (commit 59365d136d)

  The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty).  Yes, I know
  that's old.  I read the bit in the commit about changing the
  permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
  help."

So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts.  This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

Robert Morell a71123977e perf tools: Remove hardcoded include paths for elfutils
This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
from the perf build.  The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).

Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.

Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
  and manually included in CFLAGS

Stephane Eranian f5b4a9c3ab perf stat: Add no-aggregation mode to -a
This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does
not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when
using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode.

Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between
CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs.

The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when
the -C option is used.

The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a
stray patch in builtin-trace.c.

Examples on a 4-way system:

# perf stat -a   -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1
 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
         9592808135  cycles
         3490380006  instructions             #      0.364 IPC
        1.001584632  seconds time elapsed

# perf stat -a -A -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1
 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
CPU0            2398163767  cycles
CPU1            2398180817  cycles

Darrick J. Wong 5a9ae68a34 ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruption
At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret.  However, the generic_check_addressable
clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail.  This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
oops.

A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check,
which was last changed in commit 30ca22c70e.

Keith Packard e7dbb2f2f8 drm/i915: Take advantage of auto-polling CRT hotplug detection on PCH hardware
Both IBX and CPT have an automatic hotplug detection mode which appears to work reliably enough
that we can dispense with the manual force hotplug trigger stuff. This means that
hotplug detection is as simple as reading the current hotplug register values.

The first time the hotplug detection is activated, the code synchronously waits for a hotplug
sequence in case the hardware hasn't bothered to do a detection cycle since being initialized.

Chris Wilson 51311d0a5c drm/i915: Do not hold mutex when faulting in user addresses
Linus Torvalds found that it was rather trivial to trigger a system
freeze:

  In fact, with lockdep, I don't even need to do the sysrq-d thing: it
  shows the bug as it happens. It's the X server taking the same lock
  recursively.

  Here's the problem:

    =============================================
    [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
    2.6.37-rc2-00012-gbdbd01a #7
    ---------------------------------------------
    Xorg/2816 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c626c>] i915_gem_fault+0x50/0x17e

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a

    other info that might help us debug this:
    2 locks held by Xorg/2816:
     #0:  (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a
     #1:  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81022d4f>] page_fault+0x156/0x37b

This recursion was introduced by rearranging the locking to avoid the
double locking on the fast path (4f27b5d and fbd5a26d) and the
introduction of the prefault to encourage the fast paths (b5e4f2b). In
order to undo the problem, we rearrange the code to perform the access
validation upfront, attempt to prefault and then fight for control of the
mutex.  the best case scenario where the mutex is uncontended the
prefaulting is not wasted.
