Add a new thread that takes care of the hist creating to alleviate the
main reader thread so it can keep perf mmaps served in time so that we
reduce the possibility of losing events.
The 'perf top' command now spawns 2 extra threads, the data processing
is the following:
1) The main thread reads the data from mmaps and queues them to
ordered events object;
2) The processing threads takes the data from the ordered events
object and create initial histogram;
3) The GUI thread periodically sorts the initial histogram and
presents it.
Passing the data between threads 1 and 2 is done by having 2 ordered
events queues. One is always being stored by thread 1 while the other is
flushed out in thread 2.
Passing the data between threads 2 and 3 stays the same as was initially
for threads 1 and 3.

When ordering events, we use preallocated buffers to store separate
events. Those buffers currently don't have their own struct, but since
they are basically an array of 'struct ordered_event' objects, we use
the first event to hold buffers data - list head, that holds all buffers
together:
struct ordered_events {
...
struct ordered_event *buffer;
...
};
struct ordered_event {
u64 timestamp;
u64 file_offset;
union perf_event *event;
struct list_head list;
};
This is quite convoluted and error prone as demonstrated by free-ing
issue discovered and fixed by Stephane in here [1].
This patch adds the 'struct ordered_events_buffer' object, that holds
the buffer data and frees it up properly.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

__perf_session__process_pipe_events reuses the same memory buffer to
process all events in the pipe.
When reordering is needed (e.g. -b option), events are not immediately
flushed, but kept around until reordering is possible, causing
memory corruption.
The problem is usually observed by a "Unknown sample error" output. It
can easily be reproduced by:
perf record -o - noploop | perf inject -b > output
Committer testing:
Before:
$ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null
stress: info: [8297] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd

But that was more a transitional patch while moving stuff out from

When processing events the session code has an ordered samples queue
which is used to time-sort events coming in across multiple mmaps. At a
later point in time samples on the queue are flushed up to some
timestamp at which point the event is actually processed.
When analyzing events live (ie., record/analysis path in the same
command) there is a race that leads to corrupted events and parse errors
which cause perf to terminate. The problem is that when the event is
placed in the ordered samples queue it is only a reference to the event
which is really sitting in the mmap buffer. Even though the event is
queued for later processing the mmap tail pointer is updated which
indicates to the kernel that the event has been processed. The race is
flushing the event from the queue before it gets overwritten by some
other event. For commands trying to process events live (versus just
writing to a file) and processing a high rate of events this leads to
parse failures and perf terminates.
Examples hitting this problem are 'perf kvm stat live', especially with
nested VMs which generate 100,000+ traces per second, and a command
processing scheduling events with a high rate of context switching --
e.g., running 'perf bench sched pipe'.
This patch offers live commands an option to copy the event when it is

In forced flush (OE_FLUSH__HALF) we break the rules of the flush
timestamp via PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event, so we could get out of
order event.
Do not force error in this case plus changing the output warning to use
WARN_ONCE.

Adding some prints for ordered events queue, to help debug issues.
Adding debug_ordered_events debug variable to be able to enable ordered
events debug messages using:
$ perf --debug ordered-events=2 report ...
Also using oe pointer in perf_session__queue_event instead of chained
session variable dereferencing.
