2009-11-08hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf eventsFrederic Weisbecker
This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-11-05hw-breakpoint: Move asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h to linux/hw_breakpoint.hFrederic Weisbecker
We plan to make the breakpoints parameters generic among architectures. For that it's better to move the asm-generic header to a generic linux header. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
2009-11-03perf/core: Add a callback to perf eventsFrederic Weisbecker
A simple callback in a perf event can be used for multiple purposes.

2009-11-03x86/hw-breakpoints: Actually flush thread breakpoints in flush_thread().Paul Mundt
flush_thread() tries to do a TIF_DEBUG check before calling in to flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() (which subsequently clears the thread flag), but for some reason, the x86 code is manually clearing TIF_DEBUG immediately before the test, so this path will never be taken. This kills off the erroneous clear_tsk_thread_flag() and lets flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() actually get invoked. Presumably folks were getting lucky with testing and the free_thread_info() -> free_thread_xstate() path was taking care of the flush there.

2009-11-03perf/core: Provide a kernel-internal interface to get to performance countersArjan van de Ven
There are reasons for kernel code to ask for, and use, performance counters. For example, in CPU freq governors this tends to be a good idea, but there are other examples possible as well of course. This patch adds the needed bits to do enable this functionality; they have been tested in an experimental cpufreq driver that I'm working on, and the changes are all that I needed to access counters properly. [fweisbec@gmail.com: added pid to perf_event_create_kernel_counter so that we can profile a particular task too TODO: Have a better error reporting, don't just return NULL in fail case.] v2: Remove the wrong comment about the fact perf_event_create_kernel_counter must be called from a kernel thread.

2009-10-15events: Harmonize event field names and print output namesIngo Molnar
Now that we can filter based on fields via perf record, people will start using filter expressions and will expect them to be obvious. The primary way to see which fields are available is by looking at the trace output, such as: gcc-18676 [000] 343.011728: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.012727: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.032692: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.033690: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.034687: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.035686: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.036684: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer While 'irq==0' filters work, the 'handler==<x>' filter expression does not work: $ perf record -R -f -a -e irq:irq_handler_entry --filter handler=timer sleep 1 Error: failed to set filter with 22 (Invalid argument) The problem is that while an 'irq' field exists and is recognized as a filter field - 'handler' does not exist - its name is 'name' in the output. To solve this, we need to synchronize the printout and the field names, wherever possible. In cases where the printout prints a non-field, we enclose that information in square brackets, such as: perf-1380 [013] 724.903505: softirq_exit: vec=9 [action=RCU] perf-1380 [013] 724.904482: softirq_exit: vec=1 [action=TIMER] This way users can use filter expressions more intuitively: all fields that show up as 'primary' (non-bracketed) information is filterable. This patch harmonizes the field names for all irq, bkl, power, sched and timer events. We might in fact think about dropping the print format bit of generic tracepoints altogether, and just print the fields that are being recorded.

2009-10-14x86: linker script syntax nitsRoland McGrath
The linker scripts grew some use of weirdly wrong linker script syntax. It happens to work, but it's not what the syntax is documented to be. Clean it up to use the official syntax. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> CC: Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>
2009-10-14firewire: sbp2: provide fallback if mgt_ORB_timeout is missingStefan Richter
The Unit_Characteristics entry of an SBP-2 unit directory is not mandatory as far as I can tell. If it is missing, we would probably fail to log in into the target because firewire-sbp2 would not wait for status after it sent the login request. The fix moves the cleanup of tgt->mgt_orb_timeout into a place where it is executed exactly once before login, rather than 0..n times depending on the target's config ROM. With targets with one or more Unit_Characteristics entries, the result is the same as before. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2009-10-14ftrace: Rename set_bootup_ftrace into set_cmdline_ftraceFrederic Weisbecker
set_cmdline_ftrace is a better match against what does this function: apply a tracer name from the kernel command line. Reported-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>
2009-10-14ftrace: Copy ftrace_graph_filter boot param using strlcpyFrederic Weisbecker
We are using strncpy in the wrong way to copy the ftrace_graph_filter boot param because we pass the buffer size instead of the max string size it can contain (buffer size - 1). The end result might not be NULL terminated as we are abusing the max string size. Lets use strlcpy() instead.

2009-10-14tty: use the new 'flush_delayed_work()' helper to do ldisc flushLinus Torvalds
This way all flush_to_ldisc work is always done through the workqueues, and we thus have a single point of serialization. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-10-14workqueue: add 'flush_delayed_work()' to run and wait for delayed workLinus Torvalds
It basically turns a delayed work into an immediate work, and then waits for it to finish.

2009-10-14[S390] cio: change misleading console logicPeter Oberparleiter
Use cio_is_console() in io_subchannel_probe to indicate that the special handling is console specific. As long as there is no other subchannel for which this might be true, it is misleading to speak of "early devices". Should more of these devices be introduced, a cleanup of all console special handling is in order anyway.
