d580ff8699 perf, hw_breakpoint: Fix crash in hw_breakpoint creation
hw_breakpoint creation needs to account stuff per-task to ensure there
is always sufficient hardware resources to back these things due to
ptrace.

With the perf per pmu context changes the event initialization no
longer has access to the event context, for the simple reason that we
need to first find the pmu (result of initialization) before we can
find the context.

This makes hw_breakpoints unhappy, because it can no longer do per
task accounting, cure this by frobbing a task pointer in the event::hw
bits for now...

e7d0bc0475 perf: Fix task refcount bugs
Currently it looks like find_lively_task_by_vpid() takes a task ref
and relies on find_get_context() to drop it.

The problem is that perf_event_create_kernel_counter() shouldn't be
dropping task refs.

74c3337c2f perf: Fix group moving
Matt found we trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_group_attach() when we take
the move_group path in perf_event_open().

Since we cannot de-construct the group (we rely on it to move the events), we
have to simply ignore the double attach. The group state is context invariant
and doesn't need changing.

e360adbe29 irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.

The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

8e5fc1a732 perf_events: Fix transaction recovery in group_sched_in()
The group_sched_in() function uses a transactional approach to schedule
a group of events. In a group, either all events can be scheduled or
none are. To schedule each event in, the function calls event_sched_in().
In case of error, event_sched_out() is called on each event in the group.

The problem is that event_sched_out() does not completely cancel the
effects of event_sched_in(). Furthermore event_sched_out() changes the
state of the event as if it had run which is not true is this particular
case.

Those inconsistencies impact time tracking fields and may lead to events
in a group not all reporting the same time_enabled and time_running values.
This is demonstrated with the example below:

$ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
1946101 unhalted_core_cycles (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
  11423 baclears (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
   7671 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=556827, run=556827)

2250443 unhalted_core_cycles (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
  11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
  11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)

Notice that in the first group, the last baclears event does not
report the same timings as its siblings.

This issue comes from the fact that tstamp_stopped is updated
by event_sched_out() as if the event had actually run.

To solve the issue, we must ensure that, in case of error, there is
no change in the event state whatsoever. That means timings must
remain as they were when entering group_sched_in().

To do this we defer updating tstamp_running until we know the
transaction succeeded. Therefore, we have split event_sched_in()
in two parts separating the update to tstamp_running.

Similarly, in case of error, we do not want to update tstamp_stopped.
Therefore, we have split event_sched_out() in two parts separating
the update to tstamp_stopped.

With this patch, we now get the following output:

$ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
2492050 unhalted_core_cycles (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
  11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
  11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)

1852746 unhalted_core_cycles (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
   9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
   9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)

Note that the uneven timing between groups is a side effect of
the process spending most of its time sleeping, i.e., not enough
event rotations (but that's a separate issue).

c530ccd9a1 perf_events: Fix bogus context time tracking
You can only call update_context_time() when the context
is active, i.e., the thread it is attached to is still running.

However, perf_event_read() can be called even when the context
is inactive, e.g., user read() the counters. The call to
update_context_time() must be conditioned on the status of
the context, otherwise, bogus time_enabled, time_running may
be returned. Here is an example on AMD64. The task program
is an example from libpfm4. The -p prints deltas every 1s.

$ task -p -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
    2,266,610 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
5,242,358,071 cpu_clk_unhalted (99.95% scaling, ena=5,000,359,984, run=2,319,270)

Whereas if you don't read deltas, e.g., no call to perf_event_read() until
the process terminates:

$ task -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
    2,497,783 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,376,899, run=2,376,899)

Notice that time_enable, time_running are bogus in the first example
causing bogus scaling.

This patch fixes the problem, by conditionally calling update_context_time()
in perf_event_read().

4447586364 ftrace: Do not process kernel/trace/ftrace.o with C recordmcount program
The file kernel/trace/ftrace.c references the mcount() call to
convert the mcount() callers to nops. But because it references
mcount(), the mcount() address is placed in the relocation table.

The C version of recordmcount reads the relocation table of all
object files, and it will add all references to mcount to the
__mcount_loc table that is used to find the places that call mcount()
and change the call to a nop. When recordmcount finds the mcount reference
in kernel/trace/ftrace.o, it saves that location even though the code
is not a call, but references mcount as data.

On boot up, when all calls are converted to nops, the code has a safety
check to determine what op code it is actually replacing before it
replaces it. If that op code at the address does not match, then
a warning is printed and the function tracer is disabled.

The reference to mcount in ftrace.c, causes this warning to trigger,
since the reference is not a call to mcount(). The ftrace.c file is
not compiled with the -pg flag, so no calls to mcount() should be
expected.

This patch simply makes recordmcount.c skip the kernel/trace/ftrace.c
file. This was the same solution used by the perl version of
recordmcount.

The elf reader for recordmcount.c had duplicate functions for both

This patch consolidates the two by using macros to define the 32
and 64 bit names in a recordmcount.h file, and then by just defining
a RECORD_MCOUNT_64 macro and including recordmcount.h twice we
create the funtions for both the 32 bit version as well as the
64 bit version using one code source.

ebc8827f75 x86: Barf when vmalloc and kmemcheck faults happen in NMI
In x86, faults exit by executing the iret instruction, which then
reenables NMIs if we faulted in NMI context. Then if a fault
happens in NMI, another NMI can nest after the fault exits.

But we don't yet support nested NMIs because we have only one NMI
stack. To prevent from that, check that vmalloc and kmemcheck
faults don't happen in this context. Most of the other kernel faults
in NMIs can be more easily spotted by finding explicit
copy_from,to_user() calls on review.

7df01d96b2 oprofile: disable write access to oprofilefs while profiler is running
Oprofile counters are setup when profiling is disabled. Thus, writing
to oprofilefs has no immediate effect. Changes are updated only after
oprofile is reenabled.

To keep userland and kernel states synchronized, we now allow
configuration of oprofile only if profiling is disabled.  In this case
it checks if the profiler is running and then disables write access to
oprofilefs by returning -EBUSY. The change should be backward
compatible with current oprofile userland daemon.

86c8c04792 sh: oprofile: Use perf-events oprofile backend
Now that we've got a generic perf-events based oprofile backend we might
as well make use of it seeing as SH doesn't do anything special with its
oprofile backend. Also introduce a new CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS symbol so
that we can fallback to using the timer interrupt for oprofile if the
CPU doesn't support perf events.

Also, to avoid a section mismatch warning we need to annotate
oprofile_arch_exit() with an __exit marker.

3d90a00763 oprofile: Abstract the perf-events backend
Move the perf-events backend from arch/arm/oprofile into
drivers/oprofile so that the code can be shared between architectures.

This allows each architecture to maintain only a single copy of the PMU
accessor functions instead of one for both perf and OProfile. It also
becomes possible for other architectures to delete much of their
OProfile code in favour of the common code now available in
drivers/oprofile/oprofile_perf.c.
