654443e20d Merge branch 'perf-uprobes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
 "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
  in Fedora and RHEL kernels.  This version is much rewritten, reviews
  from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

  This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

  Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
  calls without modifying user-space binaries.

  First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.

  If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
  from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
  within libc (binaries can be specified as well):

	$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6

  To probe libc's malloc():

	$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
	Added new event:
	probe_libc:malloc    (on 0x7eac0)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
  look very boring):

	$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make
	[ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712

  The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
  points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
  libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
  that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
  vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content.  The probe points are
  kept in an rbtree.

  If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
  then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
  perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.

  Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
  dynamic callback list of event consumers.

  The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
  original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
  specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
  The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
  entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).

  The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
  align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
  to it.

  Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
  by setting perf_paranoid to -1.

  You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
  regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change is the cleanup/simplification of the load-balancer:
  instead of the current practice of architectures twiddling scheduler
  internal data structures and providing the scheduler domains in
  colorfully inconsistent ways, we now have generic scheduler code in
  kernel/sched/core.c:sched_init_numa() that looks at the architecture's
  node_distance() parameters and (while not fully trusting it) deducts a
  NUMA topology from it.

  This inevitably changes balancing behavior - hopefully for the better.

 "Lots of changes:

   - (much) improved assembly annotation support in perf report, with
     jump visualization, searching, navigation, visual output
     improvements and more.

    - kernel support for AMD IBS PMU hardware features.  Notably 'perf
      record -e cycles:p' and 'perf top -e cycles:p' should work without
      skid now, like PEBS does on the Intel side, because it takes
      advantage of IBS transparently.

    - the libtracevents library: it is the first step towards unifying
      tracing tooling and perf, and it also gives a tracing library for
      external tools like powertop to rely on.

    - infrastructure: various improvements and refactoring of the UI
      modules and related code

    - infrastructure: cleanup and simplification of the profiling
      targets code (--uid, --pid, --tid, --cpu, --all-cpus, etc.)

    - tons of robustness fixes all around

    - various ftrace updates: speedups, cleanups, robustness
      improvements.

    - typing 'make' in tools/ will now give you a menu of projects to

 It's touches a lot of different parts of the kernel, all USB drivers,
 due to some API cleanups (getting rid of the ancient err() macro) and
 some changes that are needed for USB 3.0 power management updates.
 
 There are also lots of new drivers, pimarily gadget, but others as well.
 We deleted a staging driver, which was nice, and finally dropped the
 obsolete usbfs code, which will make Al happy to never have to touch
 that again.
 
 There were some build errors in the tree that linux-next found a few
 days ago, but those were fixed by the most recent changes (all were due
 to us not building with CONFIG_PM disabled.)

447a6013e9 perf tools: Bump default sample freq to 4 kHz
Quoting Ingo:

"While at it I'd also suggest increasing the default sampling frequency,
from 1000 Hz per CPU to at least 4Khz auto-freq or so - this should work
well all across the board I think. CPUs are getting faster and command/app
run times are getting shorter, 1Khz is a bit low IMO."

299c345208 perf buildid-list: Work better with pipe mode
In order for perf buildid-list to work with pipe-mode files, it needs to
process buildids and event attr structs.

$ perf record -o - noploop 2 | ./perf inject -b | perf buildid-list -i - -H
noploop for 2 seconds
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.084 MB - (~3678 samples) ]
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 [kernel.kallsyms]
3a0d0629efe74a8da3eeba372cdbd74ad9b8f5d5 /usr/local/bin/noploop

The reason [kernel.kallsyms] shows a 0 build-id comes from the
way buildids are injected in the stream.

The buildid for the kernel is provided by a BUILD_ID record. The
[kernel.kallsyms] is provided by a MMAP record. There is no clean and
obvious way to link the two, unfortunately.

In regular mode, the kernel buildid is generated from reading the ELF
image or kallsyms and perf knows to associate [kernel.kallsyms] to it.
Later on, when perf processes the [kernel.kallsyms] MMAP record, it will
already have a dso for it.

So for now, make sure perf buildid-list shows the buildids for
everything but the kernel image.

444d286639 perf tools: Fix piped mode read code
In __perf_session__process_pipe_events(), there was a risk we would read
more than what a union perf_event struct can hold. this could happen in
case, perf is reading a file which contains new record types it does not
know about and which are larger than anything it knows about.

In general, perf is supposed to skip records it does not understand, but
in pipe mode, those have to be read and ignored.  The fixed size header
contains the size of the record, but that size may be larger than union
perf_event, yet it was used as the backing to the read in:

  union perf_event event;
  void *p;

  size = event->header.size;

  p = &event;
  p += sizeof(struct perf_event_header);
  if (size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header)) {
    err = readn(self->fd, p, size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header));

We fix this by allocating a buffer based on the size reported in the
header. We reuse the buffer as much as we can. We realloc in case it
becomes too small. In the  common case, the performance impact is
negligible.

1a1ed1ba67 perf inject: Fix broken perf inject -b
perf inject -b was broken. It would not inject any build_id into the
stream. Furthermore, it would strip samples from the stream.

The reason was a missing initialization of the event attribute
structure. The perf_tool.tool.attr() callback was pointing to a simple
repipe. But there was no initialization of the internal data structures
to keep track of events and event ids. That later caused event id
lookups to fail, and sample would get removed.

The patch simply adds back the call to perf_event__process_attr() to
initialize the evlist structure and now build_ids are again injected.

e108c66e2c perf tools: Carry perf_event_attr bitfield throught different endians
When the perf data file is read cross architectures, the
perf_event__attr_swap function takes care about endianness of all the
struct fields except the bitfield flags.

The bitfield flags need to be transformed as well, since the bitfield
binary storage differs for both endians.

ABI says:
  Bit-fields are allocated from right to left (least to most significant)
  on little-endian implementations and from left to right (most to least
  significant) on big-endian implementations.

The above seems to be byte specific, so we need to reverse each byte of
the bitfield. 'Internet' also says this might be implementation specific
and we probably need proper fix and carry perf_event_attr bitfield flags
in separate data file FEAT_ section. Thought this seems to work for now.

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data

  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
    to a target system and run:
    # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target

  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

test 2)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
  - target system:
    # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
     --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
  - complete perf.data header is displayed

If the file that OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG exists then ktest.pl will prompt the
user and ask them if the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG should be used as the
starting point for make_min_config instead of MIN_CONFIG.

This is usually the case, and to allow the user to do so, which is
helpful if the user is creating different min configs based on tests,
and they know one is a superset of another test, they can set
USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG to one, which will prevent kest.pl from prompting
to use the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG and it will just use it.

If USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONIFG is set to zero, then ktest.pl will continue to
use MIN_CONFIG instead.

The default is that USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is undefined.

creation of a config file that is the minimum to boot and also

5e1c81d98a perf evsel: Create events initially disabled -- again
764e16a changed perf-record to create events disabled by default and
enable them once perf initializations are done. This setting was dropped
by 0f82ebc. Now perf events are once again generated during perf's
initialization phase (e.g., generating maps).

As an example, perf opens a lot of files at startup. Unpatched:

perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.087 MB /tmp/perf.data (~3798 samples) ]

Using perf-script to look at the samples shows the perf command generating
563 of the 566 total events.

Patched:

perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.028 MB /tmp/perf.data (~1206 samples) ]

Using perf-script to look at the samples does not show perf command.

683a3e6481 ktest: Fix kernelrevision with POST_BUILD
The PRE_BUILD and POST_BUILD options of ktest are added to allow the
user to add temporary patch to the system and remove it on builds. This
is sometimes use to take a change from another git branch and add it to
a series without the fix so that this series can be tested, when an
unrelated bug exists in the series.

The problem comes when a tagged commit is being used. For example, if
v3.2 is being tested, and we add a patch to it, the kernelrelease for
that commit will be 3.2.0+, but without the patch the version will be
3.2.0. This can cause problems when the kernelrelease is determined for
creating the /lib/modules directory. The kernel booting has the '+' but
the module directory will not, and the modules will be missing for that
boot, and may not allow the kernel to succeed.

The fix is to put the creation of the kernelrelease in the POST_BUILD
logic, before it applies the POST_BUILD operation. The POST_BUILD is
where the patch may be removed, removing the '+' from the kernelrelease.

The calculation of the kernelrelease will also stay in its current
location but will be ignored if it was already calculated previously.

Conflicts:

Conflicted with the recent 'perf_target' patches when checking the

a0187060f4 perf hists: Fix callchain ip printf format
The callchain address is stored as u64. Current code uses following
format string to display callchain address:

  "%p\n", (void *)(long)chain->ip

This way we lose upper 32 bits if we report 64 bit addresses in 32 bit
environment. Fixing this to always display whole 64 bits.

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data

  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
    to a target system and run:
    # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target

  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

test 2)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
  - target system:
    # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
     --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
  - complete perf.data header is displayed

8e7fbcbc22 sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs
It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power
aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending
patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ...
so remove it to make space free for something better.

There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first
and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology
levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a
state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to
master and almost nobody does.

Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it
means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either
under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if
there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of
it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads.

So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea
even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs
on every node of the topology.

There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single
3 state knob:

 sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto }

where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things
like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw
exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no
progress on it in the past many months.

Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs
is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at
fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable
state.

Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring
people who care to come forward once again and work on a
coherent replacement.

879d77d0cb Revert 'perf evlist: Fix creation of cpu map'
The commit 55261f4670 ("perf evlist: Fix creation of cpu map") changed
to create a per-task event when no cpu target is specified. However it
caused a problem since perf-task do not allow event inheritance due to
scalability issues so that the result will contain samples only from
parent, not from its children.

So we should use perf-task-per-cpu events anyway to get the right
result. Revert it.

aa22dd4990 perf target: Rename functions to avoid double negation
Rename perf_target__no_{cpu,task} to perf_target__has_{cpu,task} because
it's more intuitive and easy to parse (for human beings) when used with
negation.

The names are came out from David Ahern.  It is intended to be a
mechanical substitution without any functional change.

The perf_target__none remains unchanged since I couldn't find a right
name and it is hardly used with negation.
