perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directory
Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because
we dont know where to look for the vmlinux.
The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick
up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker
runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in.
The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the
date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that
tools can pick it up automatically.

perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event types
Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
method.
This is a 3-dimensional space:
{ L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
{ load, store, prefetch } x
{ accesses, misses }
User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
combination makes sense.)
Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.
Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
both valid aliases.
( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

perf_counter: Fix lockup with interrupting counters
Commit
8e3747c1 ("perf_counter: Change data head from u32 to u64")
changed the type of 'head' in struct perf_mmap_data from atomic_t
to atomic_long_t, but missed converting one use of atomic_read on
it to atomic_long_read. The effect of using atomic_read rather than
atomic_long_read on powerpc (and other big-endian architectures) is
that we get the high half of the 64-bit quantity, resulting in the
cmpxchg retry loop in perf_output_begin spinning forever as soon as
data->head becomes non-zero. On little-endian architectures such as
x86 we would get the low half, resulting in a lockup once data->head
becomes greater than 4G.
This fixes it by using atomic_long_read rather than atomic_read.

drivers/char/mem.c: avoid OOM lockup during large reads from /dev/zero
While running 20 parallel instances of dd as follows:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 20`; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/hda3/dd_$i bs=
1073741824 count=1 &
done
wait
on a 16G machine, we noticed that rather than just killing the processes,
the entire kernel went down. Stracing dd reveals that it first does an
mmap2, which makes 1GB worth of zero page mappings. Then it performs a
read on those pages from /dev/zero, and finally it performs a write.
The machine died during the reads. Looking at the code, it was noticed
that /dev/zero's read operation had been changed by
557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") from giving
zero page mappings to actually zeroing the page.
The zeroing of the pages causes physical pages to be allocated to the
process. But, when the process exhausts all the memory that it can, the
kernel cannot kill it, as it is still in the kernel mode allocating more
memory. Consequently, the kernel eventually crashes.
To fix this, I propose that when a fatal signal is pending during
/dev/zero read operation, we simply return and let the user process die.

perf_counter: Sleep before refresh using poll in perf top
perf top is refreshed every delay_secs the thread runs in such
loop:
while (sleep(delay_secs)) {
print_sym_table();
}
At the end of print_sym_table(), poll is used without sleep delay
to check if we have something from stdin.
It means that this check is done only every delay_secs, which can
be higher that 2 secs if the user defined a custom refresh rate.
We can drop sleep() here and directly use poll to wait between
refresh periods, so that the reaction after the user stops perf top
after typing "Enter" is immediate and doesn't suffer from the
delay_secs latency.
Nb: poll doesn't add any overhead that can parasite perf top measures
since it sleeps the entire timeout here.

Therefore add an (optional) third sorting phase to collapse the

Comm sorting now builds the histrogram on threads and then in

This collapsed histogram is then reversed and sorted on events.

perf_counter: powerpc: Fix race causing "oops trying to read PMC0" errors
When using interrupting counters and limited (non-interrupting)
counters at the same time, it's possible that we get an
interrupt in write_mmcr0() after writing MMCR0 but before we
have set up the counters using limited PMCs. What happens then
is that we get into perf_counter_interrupt() with
counter->hw.idx = 0 for the limited counters, leading to the
"oops trying to read PMC0" error message being printed.
This fixes the problem by making perf_counter_interrupt()
robust against counter->hw.idx being zero (the counter is just
ignored in that case) and also by changing write_mmcr0() to
write MMCR0 initially with the counter overflow interrupt
enable bits masked (set to 0). If the MMCR0 value requested by
the caller has either of those bits set, we write MMCR0 again
with the requested value of those bits after setting up the
limited counters properly.

perf_counter: powerpc: Fix event alternative code generation on POWER5/5+
Commit
ef923214 ("perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event
codes internally") introduced a bug where the return value from
function find_alternative_bdecode gets put into a u64 variable
and later tested to see if it is < 0. The effect is that we
get extra, bogus event code alternatives on POWER5 and POWER5+,
leading to error messages such as "oops compute_mmcr failed"
being printed and counters not counting properly.
This fixes it by using s64 for the return type of
find_alternative_bdecode and for the local variable that the
caller puts the value in. It also makes the event argument a
u64 on POWER5+ for consistency.
