This flag is used to process only fully populated sampling buffers
when an sampling event is stopped on a CPU. By default the last sampling
buffer is also scanned for samples even if the sampling block full
indicator is not set in the trailer entry of a sampling buffer page.
This flag can be set via perf_event_attr::config1 field. It was never
used and never documented. It is useless now.
With PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS:
When a process is scheduled off the CPU, the sampling is stopped and
the samples are copied to the perf ring buffer and marked invalid.
When stopped at the last full sample buffer page (which is
achieved with the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS options), the hardware
sampling will resume at the first free sample entry in the current,
partially filled sample buffer.
Without PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS (default behavior):
The partially filled last sample buffer is scanned and valid samples
are saved to the perf ring buffer. The valid samples are marked invalid.
The sampling is resumed when the process is scheduled on this CPU.
Again the hardware sampling will resume at the first free sample entry in
the current, partially filled sample buffer.
Now the next interrupt handler invocation scans the
full sample block and saves the valid samples to the ring buffer.
It omits the invalid samples at the top of the buffer.
The default behavior is fully sufficient, therefore remove this feature.

On s390 bpf_get_stack_raw_tp() returns 0 entries for both kernel and
user stacks. While there is no practical unwinding solution for userspace
on s390 at this moment, there certainly is a kernel unwinder. However,
it is not properly integrated with BPF.
In order to start unwinding, bpf_get_stack_raw_tp() obtains the current
kernel register values using perf_fetch_caller_regs(), which is not
implemented for s390. The actual unwinding then happens by passing those
registers to perf_callchain_kernel().
Implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() for s390, where
__builtin_frame_address(0) points to back_chain.

A perf_event can be set up to deliver overflow notifications
via SIGIO signal. The setup of the event is:
1. create event with perf_event_open()
2. assign it a signal for I/O notification with fcntl()
3. Install signal handler and consume samples
The initial setup of perf_event_open() determines the
period/frequency time span needed to elapse before each signal
is delivered to the user process.
While the event is active, system call
ioctl(.., PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD, value) can be used the change
the frequency/period time span of the active event.
The remaining signal handler invocations honour the new value.
This does not work on s390. In fact the time span does not change
regardless of ioctl's third argument 'value'. The call succeeds
but the time span does not change.
Support this behavior and make it common with other platforms.
This is achieved by changing the interval value of the sampling
control block accordingly and feed this new value every time
the event is enabled using pmu_event_enable().
Before this change the interval value was set only once at
pmu_event_add() and never changed.

Introduce a PMU device named cpum_cf_diag. It extracts the
values of all counters in all authorized counter sets and stores
them as event raw data. This is done with the STORE CPU COUNTER
MULTIPLE instruction to speed up access. All counter sets
fit into one buffer. The values of each counter are taken
when the event is started on the performance sub-system and when
the event is stopped.
This results in counter values available at the start and
at the end of the measurement time frame. The difference is
calculated for each counter. The differences of all
counters are then saved as event raw data in the perf.data
file.
The counter values are accompanied by the time stamps
when the counter set was started and when the counter set
was stopped. This data is part of a trailer entry which
describes the time frame, counter set version numbers,
CPU speed, and machine type for later analysis.

To mitigate and correct the broken uapi for the BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type, introduce a user_pt_regs structure (similar to arm64) that
exports parts from the beginnig of the pt_regs structure.
The export must start with the beginning of the pt_regs structure because
to correctly calculate BPF prologues for perf (regs_query_register_offset()).
For BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program types, the BPF program is then passed
a user_pt_regs structure.
Note: Depending on future changes to the s390 pt_regs structure, consider
the user_pt_regs structure to be stable for a particular kernel version

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.

Add the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag to process only sample-data-blocks that
have the block-full-indicator bit set. Sample-data-blocks that are partially
filled are discarded. Use this flag if the sampling buffer is likely to be
shared among perf events that use different sampling modes. In such
environments, flushing sample-data-blocks that are not completely filled, might
cause invalid-data-formats.
Setting PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS prevents potentially invalid sampling data to
be processed but, in contrast, also discards valid samples in partially filled
sample-data-blocks. Note that sample-data-blocks might not become full for
small sampling frequencies or for workload that is scheduled for tiny intervals.

This patch is based on an original patch of David Hildenbrand.
The perf core implementation calls architecture specific code in order
to ask for specific information for a particular sample:
perf_instruction_pointer()
When perf core code asks for the instruction pointer, architecture
specific code must detect if a KVM guest was running when the sample
was taken. A sample can be associated with a KVM guest when the PSW
supervisor state bit is set and the PSW instruction pointer part
contains the address of 'sie_exit'.
A KVM guest's instruction pointer information is then retrieved via
gpsw entry pointed to by the sie control-block.
perf_misc_flags()
perf code code calls this function in order to associate the kernel
vs. user state infomation with a particular sample. Architecture
specific code must also first detectif a KVM guest was running
at the time the sample was taken.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
