Otherwise they can't be filtered for a defined task:
perf record -e sched:sched_switch ./foo
This command doesn't report any events without this patch.
I think it isn't a security concern if someone knows who will
be executed next - this can already be observed by polling /proc
state. By default perf is disabled for non-root users in any case.
I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

A large enough symbol size causes an overflow in the size parameter to
the histogram allocation, leading to a segfault in
symbol__inc_addr_samples later on when this histogram is accessed.
In the case of being called via perf-report, this returns back and
gracefully ignores the sample, eventually ignoring the chained return
value of perf_session_deliver_event in flush_sample_queue.

Cross compiling perf requires setting ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE variables,
but libtraceevent couldn't detect the changes so it ends up believing no
recompiling is required. Thus the linker failed like:
LINK perf
../lib/traceevent//libtraceevent.a: member ../lib/traceevent//libtraceevent.a(event-parse.o) in archive is not an object
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [perf] Error 1
This patch fixes this by adding TRACEEVENT-CFLAGS file like
PERF-CFLAGS to track those changes.

Perf uses GNU-specific version of strerror_r(). The GNU-specific strerror_r()
returns a pointer to a string containing the error message. This may be either
a pointer to a string that the function stores in buf, or a pointer to some
(immutable) static string (in which case buf is unused).
In glibc-2.16 GNU version was marked with attribute warn_unused_result. It
triggers few warnings in perf:
util/target.c: In function ‘perf_target__strerror’:
util/target.c:114:13: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
ui/browsers/hists.c: In function ‘hist_browser__dump’:

They are bugs.

events reported to userspace is not correctly, sometime one trigger
bp_event report several events, sometime bp_event cannot go through to
user.
The root cause is attr->freq is 1 passed to kernel defaultly in bp
events, this make kernel calculate event period not as expect, make
sample period to 1 will change attr->freq to 0, to fix this problem.

Adding dso data caching so we don't need to open/read/close, each time
we want dso data.
The DSO data caching affects following functions:
dso__data_read_offset
dso__data_read_addr
Each DSO read tries to find the data (based on offset) inside the cache.
If it's not present it fills the cache from file, and returns the data.
If it is present, data are returned with no file read.
Each data read is cached by reading cache page sized/aligned amount of
DSO data. The cache page size is hardcoded to 4096. The cache is using
RB tree with file offset as a sort key.

Trace events have a period (weight) of 1 by default. This can be
overriden on events definition by using the __perf_count() macro.
For example, the sched_stat_runtime() is weighted with the runtime of
the task that fired the event.
By default, perf handles such weighted event by dividing it into
individual events carrying a weight of 1. For example if
sched_stat_runtime is fired and the task has run 5000000 nsecs, perf
divides it into 5000000 events in the buffer.
This behaviour makes weighted events unusable because they quickly
fullfill the buffers and we lose most events.
The commit 5d81e5cfb3 ("events: Don't
divide events if it has field period") solves this problem by sending
only one event when PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD flag is set. The weight is
carried in the sample itself such that we don't need to demultiplex it
anymore.
This patch provides the last missing piece to use this feature by
setting PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD from perf tools when we deal with trace
events.

Guest kernel symbols are not resolved despite passing the information

After a maddening 2 days sifting through perf minutia I found it --
id_hdr_size is not initialized for guest machines. This shows up on the
report side as random garbage for the cpu and timestamp, e.g.,

That messes up the sample sorting such that synthesized guest maps are
processed last.
With this patch you get a much more helpful report:

where 5671 is the pid of the VMM. With this patch the samples in the guest

"UV2 BAU productization fixes.
The BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) is SGI's fancy out of line way on UV
hardware to do TLB flushes, instead of the normal APIC IPI methods.
The commits here fix / work around hangs in their latest hardware
iteration (UV2).
My understanding is that the main purpose of the out of line
signalling channel is to improve scalability: the UV APIC hardware
glue does not handle broadcasting to many CPUs very well, and this
matters most for TLB shootdowns.
[ I don't agree with all aspects of the current approach: in hindsight
it would have been better to link the BAU at the IPI/APIC driver
level instead of the TLB shootdown level, where TLB flushes are
really just one of the uses of broadcast SMP messages. Doing that
would improve scalability in some other ways and it would also
remove a few uglies from the TLB path. It would also be nice to
push more is_uv_system() tests into proper x86_init or x86_platform

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Quoting from Paul, the major features of this series are:
1. Preventing latency spikes of more than 200 microseconds for
kernels built with NR_CPUS=4096, which is reportedly becoming the
default for some distros. This is a first step, as it does not
help with systems that actually -have- 4096 CPUs (work on this case
is in progress, but is not yet ready for mainline).
This category also includes improving concurrency of rcu_barrier(),
placed here due to conflicts. Posted to LKML at:

Note that patches 18-22 of that series have been defered to 3.7, as
they have not yet proven themselves to be mainline-ready (and yes,
these are the ones intended to get rid of RCU's latency spikes for
systems that actually have 4096 CPUs).

including improvements to rcu_barrier() testing. Posted to LKML at

Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov:
"The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The

The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper
iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler.
A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant
of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6.
It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll
try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go:
- The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at
all. It is a regression
- The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else;
- If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your

affect only these paths that are now broken. That is RAID5 in pnfs

UBIFS: fix a bug in empty space fix-up
We can't guarantee that REQ_DISCARD on dm-mirror zeroes the data even if
the underlying disks support zero on discard. So this patch sets
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
For example, if the mirror is in the process of resynchronizing, it may
happen that kcopyd reads a piece of data, then discard is sent on the
same area and then kcopyd writes the piece of data to another leg.
Consequently, the data is not zeroed.
The flag was made available by commit 983c7db347
(dm crypt: always disable discard_zeroes_data).

When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a
full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the
block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots
sharing this block.
This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when
sending it to the shared block.
The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be
guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
Thin target discard support with this bug arrived in commit
104655fd4d (dm thin: support discards).

This patch fixes a crash when a discard request is sent during mirror
recovery.
Firstly, some background. Generally, the following sequence happens during
mirror synchronization:
- function do_recovery is called
- do_recovery calls dm_rh_recovery_prepare
- dm_rh_recovery_prepare uses a semaphore to limit the number
simultaneously recovered regions (by default the semaphore value is 1,
so only one region at a time is recovered)
- dm_rh_recovery_prepare calls __rh_recovery_prepare,
__rh_recovery_prepare asks the log driver for the next region to
recover. Then, it sets the region state to DM_RH_RECOVERING. If there
are no pending I/Os on this region, the region is added to
quiesced_regions list. If there are pending I/Os, the region is not
added to any list. It is added to the quiesced_regions list later (by
dm_rh_dec function) when all I/Os finish.
- when the region is on quiesced_regions list, there are no I/Os in
flight on this region. The region is popped from the list in
dm_rh_recovery_start function. Then, a kcopyd job is started in the
recover function.
- when the kcopyd job finishes, recovery_complete is called. It calls
dm_rh_recovery_end. dm_rh_recovery_end adds the region to
recovered_regions or failed_recovered_regions list (depending on
whether the copy operation was successful or not).
The above mechanism assumes that if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING
state, no new I/Os are started on this region. When I/O is started,
dm_rh_inc_pending is called, which increases reg->pending count. When
I/O is finished, dm_rh_dec is called. It decreases reg->pending count.
If the count is zero and the region was in DM_RH_RECOVERING state,
dm_rh_dec adds it to the quiesced_regions list.
Consequently, if we call dm_rh_inc_pending/dm_rh_dec while the region is
in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, it could be added to quiesced_regions list
multiple times or it could be added to this list when kcopyd is copying
data (it is assumed that the region is not on any list while kcopyd does
its jobs). This results in memory corruption and crash.
There already exist bypasses for REQ_FLUSH requests: REQ_FLUSH requests
do not belong to any region, so they are always added to the sync list
in do_writes. dm_rh_inc_pending does not increase count for REQ_FLUSH
requests. In mirror_end_io, dm_rh_dec is never called for REQ_FLUSH
requests. These bypasses avoid the crash possibility described above.
These bypasses were improperly implemented for REQ_DISCARD when
the mirror target gained discard support in commit
5fc2ffeabb (dm raid1: support discard).
In do_writes, REQ_DISCARD requests is always added to the sync queue and
immediately dispatched (even if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING). However,
dm_rh_inc and dm_rh_dec is called for REQ_DISCARD resusts. So it violates the
rule that no I/Os are started on DM_RH_RECOVERING regions, and causes the list
corruption described above.
This patch changes it so that REQ_DISCARD requests follow the same path
as REQ_FLUSH. This avoids the crash.

It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on
stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then
the XOR should be preformed with all zeros.
Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great
waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have
pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't
like the kind of bugs this calls for.
Fix both birds, by returning a global zero_page, if offset is beyond
i_size.
TODO:
Change the API to ->__r4w_get_page() so a NULL can be
returned without being considered as error, since XOR API
treats NULL entries as zero_pages.
[Bug since 3.2. Should apply the same way to all Kernels since]

The read-4-write pages are locked in address ascending order.
But where unlocked in a way easiest for coding. Fix that,
locks should be released in opposite order of locking, .i.e
descending address order.
I have not hit this dead-lock. It was found by inspecting the
dbug print-outs. I suspect there is an higher lock at caller that
protects us, but fix it regardless.
