8ad7013b25 perf test: Add round trip test for sw and hw event names
It basically traverses the hardware and software event name arrays
creating an evlist with all events, then it uses perf_evsel__name to
check that the name is the expected one.

With it I noticed this problem:

[root@sandy ~]# perf test 10
10: roundtrip evsel->name check:invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
 FAILED!

Changed it to "cpu-migrations" in the software event arrays and it
worked.

This is to catch problems like the one reported by Joel Uckelman in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.perf.user/1016

Hardware cache events will be checked in the following patch.

831394bdd9 perf header: Prepare tracepoint events regardless of name
Current perf_evlist__set_tracepoint_names is a misnomer because it finds
and sets correspoding event_format in addition to the name.  So skipping
it when a event has set name already caused a trouble.

Rename it and set name only a event doesn't have one.

4592281403 perf tools: Remove the node from rblist in strlist__remove
The following commit:

committer	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
	Fri, 3 Aug 2012 13:39:51 +0000 (10:39 -0300)
commit	ee8dd3ca43

causes a double free during a probe deletion as the node is never
removed from the list via strlist__remove(), even though it gets
'deleted' (read free()'d). This causes a double free when we do
strlist__delete() as the node is already deleted but present in the
rblist.

[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -a do_fork
Added new event:
  probe:do_fork        (on do_fork)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -d do_fork
Removed event: probe:do_fork
*** glibc detected *** ./perf: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x000000000133d600 ***

Make sure we remove the node from the rblist before we delete the node.
The rblist__remove_node() will invoke rblist->node_delete, which  will
take care of deleting the node with the suitable function provided by
the user.

09a2f16a91 perf tools: Fix x86 builds with ARCH specified on the command line

Adding V=1 you see that the include argument for the arch is
'-Iarch/i386/include' is wrong. It is supposed to be -Iarch/x86/include
per the redefinition of ARCH in the Makefile.

According to the make manual,
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Override-Directive:
  "If a variable has been set with a command argument (see Overriding
   Variables), then ordinary assignments in the makefile are ignored. If
   you want to set the variable in the makefile even though it was set
   with a command argument, you can use an override directive ..."

Make it so.

f8ac4ec9c0 uprobes: Introduce MMF_HAS_UPROBES
Add the new MMF_HAS_UPROBES flag. It is set by install_breakpoint()
and it is copied by dup_mmap(), uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() checks
it to avoid the slow path if the task was never probed. Perhaps it
makes sense to check it in valid_vma(is_register => false) as well.

This needs the new dup_mmap()->uprobe_dup_mmap() hook. We can't use
uprobe_reset_state() or put MMF_HAS_UPROBES into MMF_INIT_MASK, we
need oldmm->mmap_sem to avoid the race with uprobe_register() or
mmap() from another thread.

Currently we never clear this bit, it can be false-positive after
uprobe_unregister() or uprobe_munmap() or if dup_mmap() hits the
probed VM_DONTCOPY vma. But this is fine correctness-wise and has
no effect unless the task hits the non-uprobe breakpoint.

5e5be71ab3 uprobes: Change uprobe_mmap() to ignore the errors but check fatal_signal_pending()
Once install_breakpoint() fails uprobe_mmap() "ignores" all other
uprobes and returns the error.

It was never really needed to to stop after the first error, and
in fact it was always wrong at least in -ENOTSUPP case.

Change uprobe_mmap() to ignore the errors and always return 0.
This is not what we want in the long term, but until we teach
the callers to handle the failure it would be better to remove
the pointless complications. And this doesn't look too bad, the
only "reasonable" error is ENOMEM but in this case the caller
should be oom-killed in the likely case or the system has more
serious problems.

However it makes sense to stop if fatal_signal_pending() == T.
In particular this helps if the task was oom-killed.

f1a45d0231 uprobes: Kill dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap(), simplify uprobe_mmap/munmap
1. Kill dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap(), it was only needed to calculate
   new_mm->uprobes_state.count removed by the previous patch.

   If the forking process has a pending uprobe (int3) in vma, it will
   be copied by copy_page_range(), note that it checks vma->anon_vma
   so "Don't copy ptes" is not possible after install_breakpoint()
   which does anon_vma_prepare().

2. Remove is_swbp_at_addr() and "int count" in uprobe_mmap(). Again,
   this was needed for uprobes_state.count.

   As a side effect this fixes the bug pointed out by Srikar,
   this code lacked the necessary put_uprobe().

3. uprobe_munmap() becomes a nop after the previous patch. Remove the
   meaningless code but do not remove the helper, we will need it.

uprobes_state->count is only needed to avoid the slow path in
uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier(). It is also checked in uprobe_munmap()
but ironically its only goal to decrement this counter. However,
it is very broken. Just some examples:

- uprobe_mmap() can race with uprobe_unregister() and wrongly
  increment the counter if it hits the non-uprobe "int3". Note
  that install_breakpoint() checks ->consumers first and returns
  -EEXIST if it is NULL.

  "atomic_sub() if error" in uprobe_mmap() looks obviously wrong
  too.

- uprobe_munmap() can race with uprobe_register() and wrongly
  decrement the counter by the same reason.

- Suppose an appication tries to increase the mmapped area via
  sys_mremap(). vma_adjust() does uprobe_munmap(whole_vma) first,
  this can nullify the counter temporarily and race with another
  thread which can hit the bp, the application will be killed by
  SIGTRAP.

- Suppose an application mmaps 2 consecutive areas in the same file
  and one (or both) of these areas has uprobes. In the likely case
  mmap_region()->vma_merge() suceeds. Like above, this leads to
  uprobe_munmap/uprobe_mmap from vma_merge()->vma_adjust() but then
  mmap_region() does another uprobe_mmap(resulting_vma) and doubles
  the counter.

This patch only removes this counter and fixes the compile errors,
then we will try to cleanup the changed code and add something else
instead.

61bccf191f oprofile: Remove 'WQ on CPUx, prefer CPUy' warning
Under certain workloads we see the following warnings:

 WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU1
 WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU2
 WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU3

It warns the user that the wq to access a per-cpu buffers runs not on
the same cpu. This happens if the wq is rescheduled on a different cpu
than where the buffer is located. This was probably implemented to
detect performance issues. Not sure if there actually is one as the
buffers are copied to a single buffer anyway which should be the
actual bottleneck.

We wont change WQ implementation. Since a user can do nothing the
warning is pointless. Removing it.

e3e45c01ae perf/x86: Fix microcode revision check for SNB-PEBS
The following patch makes the microcode update code path
actually invoke the perf_check_microcode() function and
thus potentially renabling SNB PEBS.

By default, CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE is
forced to Y in arch/x86/Kconfig. There is no
way to disable this. That means that the code
path used in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
did not include the call to perf_check_microcode().

Thus, even though the microcode was updated to a
version that fixes the SNB PEBS problem, perf_event
would still return EOPNOTSUPP when enabling precise
sampling.

This patch simply adds a call to perf_check_microcode()
in the call path used when OLD_INTERFACE=y.

813312110b powerpc/perf: Use pmc_overflow() to detect rolled back events
For certain speculative events on Power7, 'perf stat' reports far higher
event count than 'perf record' for the same event.

As described in following commit, a performance monitor exception is raised
even when the the performance events are rolled back.

        commit 0837e3242c
        Author: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
        Date:   Wed Mar 9 14:38:42 2011 +1100

perf_event_interrupt() records an event only when an overflow occurs. But
this check for overflow is a simple 'if (val < 0)'.

Because the events are rolled back, this check for overflow fails and the
event is not recorded. perf_event_interrupt() later uses pmc_overflow() to
detect the overflow and resets the counters and the events are lost completely.

To properly detect the overflow of rolled back events, use pmc_overflow()
even when recording events.

To reproduce:
        $ cat strcpy.c
        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <string.h>
        main()
        {
                char buf[256];

                alarm(5);
                while(1)
                        strcpy(buf, "string1");
        }
