Added is a new static inline function that lets *any* tracepoint be used
inside a rcu_idle_exit() section. And this also solves the problem where
the same tracepoint may be used inside a rcu_idle_exit() section as well
as outside of one.
I added a new tracepoint function with a "_rcuidle" extension. All
tracepoints can be used with either the normal "trace_foobar()"
function, or the "trace_foobar_rcuidle()" function when inside a
rcu_idle_exit() section.
All tracepoints defined by TRACE_EVENT() or any of the derivatives
will have a "_rcuidle()" function also defined. When a tracepoint is
used within an rcu_idle_exit() section, the "_rcuidle()" version must
be used. This denotes that the tracepoint is within rcu_idle_exit()
and it allows the rcu read locks within the tracepoint to still
be valid, as this version takes us out of rcu_idle_exit().
Another nice aspect about this patch is that "static inline"s are not
compiled into text when not used. So only the tracepoints that actually
use the _rcuidle() version will have them defined in the actual text
that is booted.

The __raise_softirq_irqoff() contains a tracepoint. As tracepoints in headers
can cause issues, and not to mention, bloats the kernel when they are
in a static inline, it is best to move the function that contains the
tracepoint out of the header and into softirq.c.

Currently the ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions
do not return any return code. So there's no way for ftrace_ops

The set_ftrace_filter interface returns error in case the filter
did not match:

The event_type record has a max length for the event name.
It's called MAX_EVENT_NAME.
The name may be truncated to fit the max length. But the header.size still
reflects the original name length. If that length is > MAX_EVENT_NAME, then the
header.size field is bogus. Fix this by using the length of the name after the
potential truncation.

When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build
because commit 1aed267173 (perf kvm: Do
guest-only counting by default) indirectly includes stdio.h before the
feature selection in util.h is done. This prevents _GNU_SOURCE in
util.h from enabling the declaration of getline(), from now second
inclusion of stdio.h, and the build is broken.
There is another breakage in util/evsel.c caused by include ordering,
but I didn't fully track down the commit that caused it.
The root cause of all this is an inconsistent definition of _GNU_SOURCE,
so I move the definition into the Makefile so that it is passed to all
invocations of the compiler and used uniformly for all system header
files. All other #define and #undef of _GNU_SOURCE are removed as they
cause conflicts with the definition passed to the compiler.
All the features.h definitions (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
and _GNU_SOURCE) are needed by the python glue code too, so they are
moved to BASIC_CFLAGS, and the misleading comments about BASIC_CFLAGS
are removed.
This gives me a clean build on x86_64 (fc12) and mips (Debian).

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

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.

We've decided to provide CPU family specific container files
(starting with CPU family 15h). E.g. for family 15h we have to
load microcode_amd_fam15h.bin instead of microcode_amd.bin
Rationale is that starting with family 15h patch size is larger
than 2KB which was hard coded as maximum patch size in various
microcode loaders (not just Linux).
Container files which include patches larger than 2KB cause
different kinds of trouble with such old patch loaders. Thus we
have to ensure that the default container file provides only
patches with size less than 2KB.

The debugging info printed in these messages is no longer very useful

Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com>
Most filesystems call inode_change_ok() very early in ->setattr(), but
eCryptfs didn't call it at all. It allowed the lower filesystem to make
the call in its ->setattr() function. Then, eCryptfs would copy the
appropriate inode attributes from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode.
This patch changes that and actually calls inode_change_ok() on the
eCryptfs inode, fairly early in ecryptfs_setattr(). Ideally, the call
would happen earlier in ecryptfs_setattr(), but there are some possible
inode initialization steps that must happen first.
Since the call was already being made on the lower inode, the change in
functionality should be minimal, except for the case of a file extending
truncate call. In that case, inode_newsize_ok() was never being
called on the eCryptfs inode. Rather than inode_newsize_ok() catching
maximum file size errors early on, eCryptfs would encrypt zeroed pages
and write them to the lower filesystem until the lower filesystem's
write path caught the error in generic_write_checks(). This patch
introduces a new function, called ecryptfs_inode_newsize_ok(), which
checks if the new lower file size is within the appropriate limits when
the truncate operation will be growing the lower file.
In summary this change prevents eCryptfs truncate operations (and the
resulting page encryptions), which would exceed the lower filesystem
limits or FSIZE rlimits, from ever starting.

ecryptfs_write() handles the truncation of eCryptfs inodes. It grabs a
page, zeroes out the appropriate portions, and then encrypts the page
before writing it to the lower filesystem. It was unkillable and due to
the lack of sparse file support could result in tying up a large portion
of system resources, while encrypting pages of zeros, with no way for
the truncate operation to be stopped from userspace.
This patch adds the ability for ecryptfs_write() to detect a pending
fatal signal and return as gracefully as possible. The intent is to
leave the lower file in a useable state, while still allowing a user to
break out of the encryption loop. If a pending fatal signal is detected,
the eCryptfs inode size is updated to reflect the modified inode size
and then -EINTR is returned.
