From a831100aeefbe6d9f3e47a3e2712f82c042f1f5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 16:34:53 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf core: Generalize max_stack sysctl handler So that it can be used for other stack related knobs, such as the upcoming one to tweak the max number of of contexts per stack sample. In all those cases we can only change the value if there are no perf sessions collecting stacks, so they need to grab that mutex, etc. Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-8t3fk94wuzp8m2z1n4gc0s17@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- kernel/events/callchain.c | 5 +++-- kernel/sysctl.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/events/callchain.c b/kernel/events/callchain.c index b9325e7dcba1..7fc89939ede9 100644 --- a/kernel/events/callchain.c +++ b/kernel/events/callchain.c @@ -228,7 +228,8 @@ exit_put: int perf_event_max_stack_handler(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { - int new_value = sysctl_perf_event_max_stack, ret; + int *value = table->data; + int new_value = *value, ret; struct ctl_table new_table = *table; new_table.data = &new_value; @@ -240,7 +241,7 @@ int perf_event_max_stack_handler(struct ctl_table *table, int write, if (atomic_read(&nr_callchain_events)) ret = -EBUSY; else - sysctl_perf_event_max_stack = new_value; + *value = new_value; mutex_unlock(&callchain_mutex); diff --git a/kernel/sysctl.c b/kernel/sysctl.c index c8b318663525..0ec6907a16b3 100644 --- a/kernel/sysctl.c +++ b/kernel/sysctl.c @@ -1149,7 +1149,7 @@ static struct ctl_table kern_table[] = { }, { .procname = "perf_event_max_stack", - .data = NULL, /* filled in by handler */ + .data = &sysctl_perf_event_max_stack, .maxlen = sizeof(sysctl_perf_event_max_stack), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = perf_event_max_stack_handler, -- 2.20.1
