We will use it to count how many addresses are in the entry->ip[] array,
excluding PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc} entries, so that we can really
return the number of entries specified by the user via the relevant
sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts, or via the per event
perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob.
This way we keep the perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr meaning, that is the
number of entries, be it real addresses or PERF_CONTEXT_ entries, while
honouring the max_stack knobs, i.e. the end result will be max_stack
entries if we have at least that many entries in a given stack trace.

The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.
And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.
The new file is:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
127
Chaging it:
# echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
256
But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:
# echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
#
Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
of having no callchain users at that point.

There have been several reports of random processes being killed with
a bus error or segfault during userspace stack walking in perf. One
of the root causes of this problem is an asynchronous modification to
thread_info fault_address and fault_code, which stems from a perf
counter interrupt arriving during kernel processing of a "benign"
fault, such as a TSB miss. Since perf_callchain_user() invokes
copy_from_user() to read user stacks, a fault is not only possible,
but probable. Validity checks on the stack address merely cover up the
problem and reduce its frequency.
The solution here is to save and restore fault_address and fault_code
in perf_callchain_user() so that the benign fault handler is not
disturbed by a perf interrupt.

When an interrupt (such as a perf counter interrupt) is delivered
while executing in user space, the trap entry code puts ASI_AIUS in
%asi so that copy_from_user() and copy_to_user() will access the
correct memory. But if a perf counter interrupt is delivered while the
cpu is already executing in kernel space, then the trap entry code
will put ASI_P in %asi, and this will prevent copy_from_user() from
reading any useful stack data in either of the perf_callchain_user_X
functions, and thus no user callgraph data will be collected for this
sample period. An additional problem is that a fault is guaranteed
to occur, and though it will be silently covered up, it wastes time
and could perturb state.
In perf_callchain_user(), we ensure that %asi contains ASI_AIUS
because we know for a fact that the subsequent calls to
copy_from_user() are intended to read the user's stack.

We currently use PERF_EVENT_TXN flag to determine if we are in the middle
of a transaction. If in a transaction, we defer the schedulability checks
from pmu->add() operation to the pmu->commit() operation.
Now that we have "transaction types" (PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ)
we can use the type to determine if we are in a transaction and drop the
PERF_EVENT_TXN flag.
When PERF_EVENT_TXN is dropped, the cpuhw->group_flag on some architectures
becomes unused, so drop that field as well.

Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time.
But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several
counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction
interface to support a "transaction type".
The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions,
i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second
transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch,
by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once.
Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags'
parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are
not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++

Christopher reports that perf_event_print_debug() can crash in uniprocessor
builds. The crash is due to pcr_ops being NULL.
This happens because pcr_arch_init() is only invoked by smp_cpus_done() which
only executes in SMP builds.
init_hw_perf_events() is closely intertwined with pcr_ops being setup properly,
therefore:
1) Call pcr_arch_init() early on from init_hw_perf_events(), instead of
from smp_cpus_done().
2) Do not hook up a PMU type if pcr_ops is NULL after pcr_arch_init().
3) Move init_hw_perf_events to a later initcall so that it we will be
sure to invoke pcr_arch_init() after all cpus are brought up.
Finally, guard the one naked sequence of pcr_ops dereferences in
__global_pmu_self() with an appropriate NULL check.

The Montgomery Multiply, Montgomery Square, and Multiple-Precision
Multiply instructions work by loading a combination of the floating
point and multiple register windows worth of integer registers
with the inputs.
These values are 64-bit. But for 32-bit userland processes we only
save the low 32-bits of each integer register during a register spill.
This is because the register window save area is in the user stack and
has a fixed layout.
Therefore, the only way to use these instruction in 32-bit mode is to
perform the following sequence:
1) Load the top-32bits of a choosen integer register with a sentinel,
say "-1". This will be in the outer-most register window.
The idea is that we're trying to see if the outer-most register
window gets spilled, and thus the 64-bit values were truncated.
2) Load all the inputs for the montmul/montsqr/mpmul instruction,
down to the inner-most register window.
3) Execute the opcode.
4) Traverse back up to the outer-most register window.
5) Check the sentinel, if it's still "-1" store the results.
Otherwise retry the entire sequence.
This retry is extremely troublesome. If you're just unlucky and an
interrupt or other trap happens, it'll push that outer-most window to
the stack and clear the sentinel when we restore it.
We could retry forever and never make forward progress if interrupts
arrive at a fast enough rate (consider perf events as one example).
So we have do limited retries and fallback to software which is
extremely non-deterministic.
Luckily it's very straightforward to provide a mechanism to let
32-bit applications use a 64-bit stack. Stacks in 64-bit mode are
biased by 2047 bytes, which means that the lowest bit is set in the
actual %sp register value.
So if we see bit zero set in a 32-bit application's stack we treat
it like a 64-bit stack.
Runtime detection of such a facility is tricky, and cumbersome at
best. For example, just trying to use a biased stack and seeing if it
works is hard to recover from (the signal handler will need to use an
alt stack, plus something along the lines of longjmp). Therefore, we
add a system call to report a bitmask of arch specific features like
this in a cheap and less hairy way.

There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in
sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event().
Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.
However, event enable was not reversing this operation. Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.
That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .
The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear
out the event type encoding field. So fix this by OR'ing in the event
encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3".
As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same
as Niagara-T2/T2+. Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use
perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores
for copies.
We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in
this regard. Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can
report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode.
For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags. We probably need
to add a couple, for example:
T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware.
T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for
partitioned shift. One can also now move directly between float
and integer registers.
T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC
calculations, such as XOR multiply. Also there are "OP and negate"
instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate.
T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since
transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and
2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps'
behaves as a NOP.
So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent
all of these things.

Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure
local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an
ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads
and writes do reads only etc..
The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with
unsupported events).
I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as
an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since
it does appear to have some NUMA bits.
Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they
clearly are NUMA capable.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

Extend the perf_pmu_register() interface to allow for named and
dynamic pmu types.
Because we need to support the existing static types we cannot use
dynamic types for everything, hence provide a type argument.
If we want to enumerate the PMUs they need a name, provide one.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.
