c481f93011 perf ui/tui: Fix off-by-one in hist_browser__update_nr_entries()
The nr_entries variable is increased inside the loop in the function
but it always count the first entry regardless of it's filtered or
not; caused an off-by-one error.

It'd become a problem especially there's no entry at all - it'd get a
segfault during referencing a NULL pointer.

3186b6815d perf hists: Add missing update on filtered stats in hists__decay_entries()
When a filter is used for perf top, its hists->nr_non_filtered_entries
was not updated after it removed an entry in hists__decay_entries().
Also hists->stats.total_non_filtered_period was missed too.

820bc81f4c perf tools: Account entry stats when it's added to the output tree
Currently, accounting each sample is done in multiple places - once
when adding them to the input tree, other when adding them to the
output tree.  It's not only confusing but also can cause a subtle
problem since concurrent processing like in perf top might see the
updated stats before adding entries into the output tree - like seeing
more (blank) lines at the end and/or slight inaccurate percentage.

To fix this, only account the entries when it's moved into the output
tree so that they cannot be seen prematurely.  There're some
exceptional cases here and there - they should be addressed separately
with comments.

87e90f4328 perf hists: Collapse expanded callchains after filter is applied
When a filter is applied a hist entry checks whether its callchain was
folded and account it to the output stat.  But this is rather hacky
and only TUI-specific.  Simply fold the callchains for the entry looks
like a simpler and more generic solution IMHO.

The hists->nr_entries is counted in multiple places so that they can

its return value (nr_samples) is only for checking if there's any data

8e89c0be17 uprobes/x86: Emulate relative call's
See the previous "Emulate unconditional relative jmp's" which explains
why we can not execute "jmp" out-of-line, the same applies to "call".

Emulating of rip-relative call is trivial, we only need to additionally
push the ret-address. If this fails, we execute this instruction out of
line and this should trigger the trap, the probed application should die
or the same insn will be restarted if a signal handler expands the stack.
We do not even need ->post_xol() for this case.

But there is a corner (and almost theoretical) case: another thread can
expand the stack right before we execute this insn out of line. In this
case it hit the same problem we are trying to solve. So we simply turn
the probed insn into "call 1f; 1:" and add ->post_xol() which restores
->sp and restarts.

Many thanks to Jonathan who finally found the standalone reproducer,
otherwise I would never resolve the "random SIGSEGV's under systemtap"
bug-report. Now that the problem is clear we can write the simplified
test-case:

	void probe_func(void), callee(void);

	int failed = 1;

	asm (
		".text\n"
		".align 4096\n"
		".globl probe_func\n"
		"probe_func:\n"
		"call callee\n"
		"ret"
	);

	/*
	 * This assumes that:
	 *
	 *	- &probe_func = 0x401000 + a_bit, aligned = 0x402000
	 *
	 *	- xol_vma->vm_start = TASK_SIZE_MAX - PAGE_SIZE = 0x7fffffffe000
	 *	  as xol_add_vma() asks; the 1st slot = 0x7fffffffe080
	 *
	 * so we can target the non-canonical address from xol_vma using
	 * the simple math below, 100 * 4096 is just the random offset
	 */
	asm (".org . + 0x800000000000 - 0x7fffffffe080 - 5 - 1  + 100 * 4096\n");

	void callee(void)
	{
		failed = 0;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		probe_func();
		return failed;
	}

It SIGSEGV's if you probe "probe_func" (although this is not very reliable,
randomize_va_space/etc can change the placement of xol area).

Note: as Denys Vlasenko pointed out, amd and intel treat "callw" (0x66 0xe8)
differently. This patch relies on lib/insn.c and thus implements the intel's
behaviour: 0x66 is simply ignored. Fortunately nothing sane should ever use
this insn, so we postpone the fix until we decide what should we do; emulate
or not, support or not, etc.

7ba6db2d68 uprobes/x86: Emulate unconditional relative jmp's
Currently we always execute all insns out-of-line, including relative
jmp's and call's. This assumes that even if regs->ip points to nowhere
after the single-step, default_post_xol_op(UPROBE_FIX_IP) logic will
update it correctly.

However, this doesn't work if this regs->ip == xol_vaddr + insn_offset
is not canonical. In this case CPU generates #GP and general_protection()
kills the task which tries to execute this insn out-of-line.

Now that we have uprobe_xol_ops we can teach uprobes to emulate these
insns and solve the problem. This patch adds branch_xol_ops which has
a single branch_emulate_op() hook, so far it can only handle rel8/32
relative jmp's.

8faaed1b9f uprobes/x86: Introduce sizeof_long(), cleanup adjust_ret_addr() and arch_uretprobe_hijack_return_addr()
1. Add the trivial sizeof_long() helper and change other callers of
   is_ia32_task() to use it.

   TODO: is_ia32_task() is not what we actually want, TS_COMPAT does
   not necessarily mean 32bit. Fortunately syscall-like insns can't be
   probed so it actually works, but it would be better to rename and
   use is_ia32_frame().

2. As Jim pointed out "ncopied" in arch_uretprobe_hijack_return_addr()
   and adjust_ret_addr() should be named "nleft". And in fact only the
   last copy_to_user() in arch_uretprobe_hijack_return_addr() actually
   needs to inspect the non-zero error code.

TODO: adjust_ret_addr() should die. We can always calculate the value
we need to write into *regs->sp, just UPROBE_FIX_CALL should record
insn->length.

75f9ef0b7f uprobes/x86: Teach arch_uprobe_post_xol() to restart if possible
SIGILL after the failed arch_uprobe_post_xol() should only be used as
a last resort, we should try to restart the probed insn if possible.

Currently only adjust_ret_addr() can fail, and this can only happen if
another thread unmapped our stack after we executed "call" out-of-line.
Most probably the application if buggy, but even in this case it can
have a handler for SIGSEGV/etc. And in theory it can be even correct
and do something non-trivial with its memory.

Of course we can't restart unconditionally, so arch_uprobe_post_xol()
does this only if ->post_xol() returns -ERESTART even if currently this
is the only possible error.

default_post_xol_op(UPROBE_FIX_CALL) can always restart, but as Jim
pointed out it should not forget to pop off the return address pushed
by this insn executed out-of-line.

Note: this is not "perfect", we do not want the extra handler_chain()
after restart, but I think this is the best solution we can realistically
do without too much uglifications.

014940bad8 uprobes/x86: Send SIGILL if arch_uprobe_post_xol() fails
Currently the error from arch_uprobe_post_xol() is silently ignored.
This doesn't look good and this can lead to the hard-to-debug problems.

1. Change handle_singlestep() to loudly complain and send SIGILL.

   Note: this only affects x86, ppc/arm can't fail.

2. Change arch_uprobe_post_xol() to call arch_uprobe_abort_xol() and
   avoid TF games if it is going to return an error.

   This can help to to analyze the problem, if nothing else we should
   not report ->ip = xol_slot in the core-file.

   Note: this means that handle_riprel_post_xol() can be called twice,
   but this is fine because it is idempotent.

e55848a4f8 uprobes/x86: Conditionalize the usage of handle_riprel_insn()
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() calls handle_riprel_insn() at the start,
but only "0xff" and "default" cases need the UPROBE_FIX_RIP_ logic.
Move the callsite into "default" case and change the "0xff" case to
fall-through.

We are going to add the various hooks to handle the rip-relative
jmp/call instructions (and more), we need this change to enforce the
fact that the new code can not conflict with is_riprel_insn() logic
which, after this change, can only be used by default_xol_ops.

Note: arch_uprobe_abort_xol() still calls handle_riprel_post_xol()
directly. This is fine unless another _xol_ops we may add later will
need to reuse "UPROBE_FIX_RIP_AX|UPROBE_FIX_RIP_CX" bits in ->fixup.
In this case we can add uprobe_xol_ops->abort() hook, which (perhaps)
we will need anyway in the long term.

8ad8e9d3fd uprobes/x86: Introduce uprobe_xol_ops and arch_uprobe->ops
Introduce arch_uprobe->ops pointing to the "struct uprobe_xol_ops",
move the current UPROBE_FIX_{RIP*,IP,CALL} code into the default
set of methods and change arch_uprobe_pre/post_xol() accordingly.

This way we can add the new uprobe_xol_ops's to handle the insns
which need the special processing (rip-relative jmp/call at least).

No functional changes. Preparation to simplify the review of the next
change. Just reorder the code in arch_uprobe_pre/post_xol() functions
so that UPROBE_FIX_{RIP_*,IP,CALL} logic goes to the end.

Also change arch_uprobe_pre_xol() to use utask instead of autask, to
make the code more symmetrical with arch_uprobe_post_xol().

Cosmetic. Move pre_xol_rip_insn() and handle_riprel_post_xol() up to
the closely related handle_riprel_insn(). This way it is simpler to

ddb69f276c uprobes/x86: Fold prepare_fixups() into arch_uprobe_analyze_insn()
No functional changes, preparation.

Shift the code from prepare_fixups() to arch_uprobe_analyze_insn()
with the following modifications:

	- Do not call insn_get_opcode() again, it was already called
	  by validate_insn_bits().

	- Move "case 0xea" up. This way "case 0xff" can fall through
	  to default case.

	- change "case 0xff" to use the nested "switch (MODRM_REG)",
	  this way the code looks a bit simpler.

	- Make the comments look consistent.

While at it, kill the initialization of rip_rela_target_address and
->fixups, we can rely on kzalloc(). We will add the new members into
arch_uprobe, it would be better to assume that everything is zero by
default.

TODO: cleanup/fix the mess in validate_insn_bits() paths:

	- validate_insn_64bits() and validate_insn_32bits() should be
	  unified.

	- "ifdef" is not used consistently; if good_insns_64 depends
	  on CONFIG_X86_64, then probably good_insns_32 should depend
	  on CONFIG_X86_32/EMULATION

	- the usage of mm->context.ia32_compat looks wrong if the task
	  is TIF_X32.

8a6b173287 uprobes: Kill UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP and can_skip_sstep()
UPROBE_COPY_INSN, UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP, and uprobe->flags must die. This
patch kills UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP. I never understood why it was added;
not only it doesn't help, it harms.

It can only help to avoid arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() if it was already
called before and failed. But this is ugly, if we want to know whether
we can emulate this instruction or not we should do this analysis in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn(), not when we hit this probe for the first
time.

And in fact this logic is simply wrong. arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() can
fail or not depending on the task/register state, if this insn can be
emulated but, say, put_user() fails we need to xol it this time, but
this doesn't mean we shouldn't try to emulate it when this or another
thread hits this bp next time.

And this is the actual reason for this change. We need to emulate the
"call" insn, but push(return-address) can obviously fail.

Per-arch notes:

	x86: __skip_sstep() can only emulate "rep;nop". With this
	     change it will be called every time and most probably
	     for no reason.

	     This will be fixed by the next changes. We need to
	     change this suboptimal code anyway.

	arm: Should not be affected. It has its own "bool simulate"
	     flag checked in arch_uprobe_skip_sstep().

	ppc: Looks like, it can emulate almost everything. Does it
	     actually need to record the fact that emulate_step()
	     failed? Hopefully not. But if yes, it can add the ppc-
	     specific flag into arch_uprobe.

TODO: rename arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() to arch_uprobe_emulate_insn(),

6381c24cd6 kprobes/x86: Fix page-fault handling logic
Current kprobes in-kernel page fault handler doesn't
expect that its single-stepping can be interrupted by
an NMI handler which may cause a page fault(e.g. perf
with callback tracing).

In that case, the page-fault handled by kprobes and it
misunderstands the page-fault has been caused by the
single-stepping code and tries to recover IP address
to probed address.

But the truth is the page-fault has been caused by the
NMI handler, and do_page_fault failes to handle real
page fault because the IP address is modified and
causes Kernel BUGs like below.

 ----
 [ 2264.726905] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
 [ 2264.727190] IP: [<ffffffff813c46e0>] copy_user_generic_string+0x0/0x40

To handle this correctly, I fixed the kprobes fault
handler to ensure the faulted ip address is its own
single-step buffer instead of checking current kprobe
state.

c0b5a64d93 [IA64] Change default PSR.ac from '1' to '0' (Fix erratum #237)
April 2014 Itanium processor specification update:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/itanium/itanium-specification-update.html

describes this erratum:

=========================================================================
237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a
sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectly

Problem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence
using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address
is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.

Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
the erratum.

Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
that contribute to encountering the erratum.

Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
=========================================================================

[Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]

The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
(when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.

Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e70
  [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
(and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.

We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
update.  Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
trap and having the OS perform the access).
