perf symbols: Remove incorrect open-coded container_of()

At least on ARM, padding is inserted between rb_node and sym in struct

perf stat: Change and clean up sys_perf_event_open error handling

This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":

- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".

In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):

"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."

This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's.  However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard

Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().

It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.

struct fstrim_range {
__u64 start;
__u64 len;
__u64 minlen;
}

start - first Byte to trim
len - number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
  number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
  block size.

After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included

This reverts commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a.

It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:

 "On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
  and my box would not boot.  klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
  system.

  At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
  after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in.  It dropped back to the
  text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
  of time.  dmesg surprisingly still works.  I've bisected the problem
  down to this commit (commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a)

  The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty).  Yes, I know
  that's old.  I read the bit in the commit about changing the
  permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
  help."

So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts.  This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths

from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).

Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.

Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location

drm/i915: Do not hold mutex when faulting in user addresses

Linus Torvalds found that it was rather trivial to trigger a system
freeze:

  In fact, with lockdep, I don't even need to do the sysrq-d thing: it
  shows the bug as it happens. It's the X server taking the same lock
  recursively.

  Here's the problem:

    =============================================
    [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
    2.6.37-rc2-00012-gbdbd01a #7
    ---------------------------------------------
    Xorg/2816 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c626c>] i915_gem_fault+0x50/0x17e

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a

    other info that might help us debug this:
    2 locks held by Xorg/2816:
     #0:  (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a
     #1:  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81022d4f>] page_fault+0x156/0x37b

This recursion was introduced by rearranging the locking to avoid the
double locking on the fast path (4f27b5d and fbd5a26d) and the
introduction of the prefault to encourage the fast paths (b5e4f2b). In
order to undo the problem, we rearrange the code to perform the access
validation upfront, attempt to prefault and then fight for control of the
mutex.  the best case scenario where the mutex is uncontended the
prefaulting is not wasted.

14 years agox86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines
Soeren Sandmann Pedersen [Fri, 5 Nov 2010 09:59:39 +0000 (05:59 -0400)]
x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:

(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task

In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0.  If it _is_ defined, then

- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs,

- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
  dump_trace(),

- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs.

Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.

This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

perf: Fix owner-list vs exit

Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task
leads to a few funny side effects.

There's two different aspects to this:

  - kernel based perf-events, these should not take out
    a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's
    event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible
    to userspace.

  - fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating
    task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless)
    but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed.

Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints.

Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the
owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.
