aba51024e7 uprobes: Fix utask->xol_vaddr leak in pre_ssout()
pre_ssout() should do xol_free_insn_slot() if arch_uprobe_pre_xol()
fails, otherwise nobody will free the allocated slot.

a6cb3f6d51 uprobes: Do not play with utask in xol_get_insn_slot()
pre_ssout()->xol_get_insn_slot() path is confusing and buggy. This patch
cleanups the code, the next one fixes the bug.

Change xol_get_insn_slot() to only allocate the slot and do nothing more,
move the initialization of utask->xol_vaddr/vaddr into pre_ssout().

9b545df809 uprobes: Fold xol_alloc_area() into get_xol_area()
Currently only xol_get_insn_slot() does get_xol_area() + xol_alloc_area(),
but this will have more users and we do not want to copy-and-paste this
code. This patch simply moves xol_alloc_area() into get_xol_area() to
simplify the current and future code.

74e59dfc6b uprobes: Change handle_swbp() to expose bp_vaddr to handler_chain()
Change handle_swbp() to set regs->ip = bp_vaddr in advance, this is
what consumer->handler() needs but uprobe_get_swbp_addr() is not
exported.

This also simplifies the code and makes it more consistent across
the supported architectures. handle_swbp() becomes the only caller
of uprobe_get_swbp_addr().

da1816b1ca uprobes: Teach handler_chain() to filter out the probed task
Currrently the are 2 problems with pre-filtering:

1. It is not possible to add/remove a task (mm) after uprobe_register()

2. A forked child inherits all breakpoints and uprobe_consumer can not
   control this.

This patch does the first step to improve the filtering. handler_chain()
removes the breakpoints installed by this uprobe from current->mm if all
handlers return UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE.

Note that handler_chain() relies on ->register_rwsem to avoid the race
with uprobe_register/unregister which can add/del a consumer, or even
remove and then insert the new uprobe at the same address.

Perhaps we will add uprobe_apply_mm(uprobe, mm, is_register) and teach
copy_mm() to do filter(UPROBE_FILTER_FORK), but I think this change makes
sense anyway.

Note: instead of checking the retcode from uc->handler, we could add
uc->filter(UPROBE_FILTER_BPHIT). But I think this is not optimal to
call 2 hooks in a row. This buys nothing, and if handler/filter do
something nontrivial they will probably do the same work twice.

8a7f2fa0de uprobes: Reintroduce uprobe_consumer->filter()
Finally add uprobe_consumer->filter() and change consumer_filter()
to actually call this method.

Note that ->filter() accepts mm_struct, not task_struct. Because:

	1. We do not have for_each_mm_user(mm, task).

	2. Even if we implement for_each_mm_user(), ->filter() can
	   use it itself.

	3. It is not clear who will actually need this interface to
	   do the "nontrivial" filtering.

Another argument is "enum uprobe_filter_ctx", consumer->filter() can
use it to figure out why/where it was called. For example, perhaps
we can add UPROBE_FILTER_PRE_REGISTER used by build_map_info() to
quickly "nack" the unwanted mm's. In this case consumer should know
that it is called under ->i_mmap_mutex.

See the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?t=135214229700002
Perhaps we should pass more arguments, vma/vaddr?

Note: this patch obviously can't help to filter out the child created
by fork(), this will be addressed later.

806a98bdf2 uprobes: Rationalize the usage of filter_chain()
filter_chain() was added into install_breakpoint/remove_breakpoint to
simplify the initial changes but this is sub-optimal.

This patch shifts the callsite to the callers, register_for_each_vma()
and uprobe_mmap(). This way:

- It will be easier to add the new arguments. This is the main reason,
  we can do more optimizations later.

- register_for_each_vma(is_register => true) can be optimized, we only
  need to consult the new consumer. The previous consumers were already
  asked when they called uprobe_register().

This patch also moves the MMF_HAS_UPROBES check from remove_breakpoint(),
this allows to avoid the potentionally costly filter_chain(). Note that
register_for_each_vma(is_register => false) doesn't really need to take
->consumer_rwsem, but I don't think it makes sense to optimize this and
introduce filter_chain_lockless().

66d06dffa5 uprobes: Kill uprobes_mutex[], separate alloc_uprobe() and __uprobe_register()
uprobe_register() and uprobe_unregister() are the only users of
mutex_lock(uprobes_hash(inode)), and the only reason why we can't
simply remove it is that we need to ensure that delete_uprobe() is
not possible after alloc_uprobe() and before consumer_add().

IOW, we need to ensure that when we take uprobe->register_rwsem
this uprobe is still valid and we didn't race with _unregister()
which called delete_uprobe() in between.

With this patch uprobe_register() simply checks uprobe_is_active()
and retries if it hits this very unlikely race. uprobes_mutex[] is
no longer needed and can be removed.

There is another reason for this change, prepare_uprobe() should be
folded into alloc_uprobe() and we do not want to hold the extra locks
around read_mapping_page/etc.

06b7bcd8cb uprobes: Introduce uprobe_is_active()
The lifetime of uprobe->rb_node and uprobe->inode is not refcounted,
delete_uprobe() is called when we detect that uprobe has no consumers,
and it would be deadly wrong to do this twice.

Change delete_uprobe() to WARN() if it was already called. We use
RB_CLEAR_NODE() to mark uprobe "inactive", then RB_EMPTY_NODE() can
be used to detect this case.

RB_EMPTY_NODE() is not used directly, we add the trivial helper for
the next change.

e591c8d78e uprobes: Introduce uprobe->register_rwsem
Introduce uprobe->register_rwsem. It is taken for writing around
__uprobe_register/unregister.

Change handler_chain() to use this sem rather than consumer_rwsem.

The main reason for this change is that we have the nasty problem
with mmap_sem/consumer_rwsem dependency. filter_chain() needs to
protect uprobe->consumers like handler_chain(), but they can not
use the same lock. filter_chain() can be called under ->mmap_sem
(currently this is always true), but we want to allow ->handler()
to play with the probed task's memory, and this needs ->mmap_sem.

Alternatively we could use srcu, but synchronize_srcu() is very
slow and ->register_rwsem allows us to do more. In particular, we
can teach handler_chain() to do remove_breakpoint() if this bp is
"nacked" by all consumers, we know that we can't race with the
new consumer which does uprobe_register().

See also the next patches. uprobes_mutex[] is almost ready to die.

9a98e03cc1 uprobes: _register() should always do register_for_each_vma(true)
To support the filtering uprobe_register() should do
register_for_each_vma(true) every time the new consumer comes,
we need to install the previously nacked breakpoints.

Note:
	- uprobes_mutex[] should die, what it actually protects is
	  alloc_uprobe().

	- UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER should die too, obviously it can't work
	  unless uprobe has a single consumer. The consumer should
	  serialize with _register/_unregister itself. Or this flag
	  should live in uprobe_consumer->state.

	- Perhaps we can do some optimizations later. For example, if
	  filter_chain() never returns false uprobe can record this
	  fact and avoid the unnecessary register_for_each_vma().

04aab9b200 uprobes: _unregister() should always do register_for_each_vma(false)
uprobe_unregister() removes the breakpoints only if the last consumer
goes away. To support the filtering it should do this every time, we
want to remove the breakpoints which nobody else want to keep.

Note: given that filter_chain() is not actually implemented, this patch
itself doesn't change the behaviour yet, register_for_each_vma(false)
is a heavy "nop" unless there are no more consumers.

63633cbf82 uprobes: Introduce filter_chain()
Add the new helper filter_chain(). Currently it is only placeholder,
the comment explains what is should do. We will change it later to
consult every consumer to decide whether we need to install the swbp.
Until then it works as if any consumer returns true, this matches the
current behavior.

Change install_breakpoint() to call filter_chain() instead of checking
uprobe->consumers != NULL. We obviously need this, and this equally
closes the race with _unregister().

Change remove_breakpoint() to call this helper too. Currently this is
pointless because remove_breakpoint() is only called when the last
consumer goes away, but we will change this.

f0744af7d0 uprobes: Kill the pointless inode/uc checks in register/unregister
register/unregister verifies that inode/uc != NULL. For what?
This really looks like "hide the potential problem", the caller
should pass the valid data.

register() also checks uc->next == NULL, probably to prevent the
double-register but the caller can do other stupid/wrong things.
If we do this check, then we should document that uc->next should
be cleared before register() and add BUG_ON().

Also add the small comment about the i_size_read() check.

91b988048b perf tools: Fix calloc argument ordering
A sweep of the kernel for regex "kcalloc(sizeof" turned up 2 reversed
args, fixed in commit d3d09e1820 ("EDAC:
Fix kcalloc argument order") and also fixed in the networking commit
a1b1add07f ("gro: Fix kcalloc argument
order").

I know that was the regex used, because on seeing the 1st of these
changes, I wondered "how many other instances of this are there" and I
happened to just use "calloc(sizeof" as a regex and it in turn found
these additional reversed args instances in the perf code.

In the kcalloc cases, the changes are cosmetic, since the numbers are
simply multiplied.  I had no desire to go data mining in userspace to
see if the same thing held true there, however.

b22e79395c perf perl scripts: Fix SIGALRM and pipe read race for rwtop
Fixing rwtop script race. The issue is caused by rwtop script triggering
SIGALRM and underneath pipe reading layer reporting error when
interrupted.

Fixing this by setting SA_RESTART for rwtop SIGALRM handler, which
avoids interruption of the pipe reading layer.

The discussion for this issue & fix is here:

0c5268bf22 perf hists browser: Add support to display whole group data for raw columns
Currently we don't display group members' values for raw columns like
'Samples' and 'Period' when in group report mode.

Uniting '__hpp__percent_fmt' and '__hpp__raw_fmt' function under new
function __hpp__fmt. It's basically '__hpp__percent_fmt' code with new
'fmt_percent' bool parameter added saying whether raw number or
percentage should be printed.

This way raw columns print out all the group members when
in group report mode, like:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...

d7e7a451c1 perf stat: Add per processor socket count aggregation
This patch adds per-processor socket count aggregation for system-wide
mode measurements. This is a useful mode to detect imbalance between
sockets.

To enable this mode, use --aggr-socket in addition
to -a. (system-wide).

The output includes the socket number and the number of online
processors on that socket. This is useful to gauge the amount of
aggregation.

 # ./perf stat -I 1000 -a --aggr-socket -e cycles sleep 2
 #           time socket cpus             counts events

0479b8b9cf perf evlist: Make event_copy local to mmaps
I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where
the event type is off the charts:

(gdb) bt
\#0  0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225
\#1  0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520,
    file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884
\#2  0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555
\#3  0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645

This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once --
before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to
be sane at that time.

There seem to be 2 causes:

1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there
are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the
ordered samples queue.

2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries.
event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer
boundary.

This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to
each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer
fails.

The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a
future patch.

When setup_sorting() is called, 'str' is passed to strtok_r() but it's
not checked to have a valid pointer.  As strtok_r() accepts NULL pointer
on a first argument and use the third argument in that case, it can
cause a trouble since our third argument, tmp, is not initialized.

51f27d1440 perf sort: Drop ip_[lr] arguments from _sort__sym_cmp()
Current _sort__sym_cmp() function is used for comparing symbols between
two hist entries on symbol, symbol_from and symbol_to sort keys.  Those
functions pass addresses of symbols but it's meaningless since it gets
over-written inside of the _sort__sym_cmp function to a start address of
the symbol.  So just get rid of them.

This might cause a difference than prior output for branch stacks since
it seems not using start address of the symbol but branch address.
However AFAICS it'd be same as it gets overwritten anyway.

Also remove redundant part of code in sort__sym_cmp().

d840f718d2 tracing: Init current_trace to nop_trace and remove NULL checks
On early boot up, when the ftrace ring buffer is initialized, the
static variable current_trace is initialized to &nop_trace.
Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never
become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer.

Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses
it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time
when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be
NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the
paths to these locations would probably not be possible.

By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared,
current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these
checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be
checked in the first place.

9c4c5fd9e6 perf/core improvements and fixes:
. Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to
   what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.
 
 . Add event group view, from Namyung Kim:
 
   To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf
   report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them
   together if --group option is provided.  You can use 'perf evlist' command to
   see event group information:
 
     $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
     [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
     [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]
 
     $ perf evlist --group
     {ref-cycles,cycles}
 
   With this example, default perf report will show you each event
   separately like this:
 
     $ perf report
     ...
     # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
     # ========

   As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and
   cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group {
   ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of group leader
   first.
 
   If perf.data file doesn't contain group information, this --group
   option does nothing.  So if you want enable event group view by
   default you can set it in ~/.perfconfig file:
 
     $ cat ~/.perfconfig
     [report]
     group = true
 
   It can be overridden with command line if you want:
 
     $ perf report --no-group

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

. Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to
  what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

. Add event group view, from Namyung Kim:

  To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf
  report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them
  together if --group option is provided.  You can use 'perf evlist' command to
  see event group information:

    $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

    $ perf evlist --group
    {ref-cycles,cycles}

  With this example, default perf report will show you each event
  separately like this:

    $ perf report
    ...
    # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
    # ========
    # Samples: 3K of event 'ref-cycles'
