perf test: Add round trip test for sw and hw event names
It basically traverses the hardware and software event name arrays
creating an evlist with all events, then it uses perf_evsel__name to
check that the name is the expected one.
With it I noticed this problem:
[root@sandy ~]# perf test 10
10: roundtrip evsel->name check:invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
FAILED!
Changed it to "cpu-migrations" in the software event arrays and it
worked.
This is to catch problems like the one reported by Joel Uckelman in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.perf.user/1016
Hardware cache events will be checked in the following patch.

commit ee8dd3ca43f151d9fbe1edeef68fb8a77eb9f047
causes a double free during a probe deletion as the node is never
removed from the list via strlist__remove(), even though it gets
'deleted' (read free()'d). This causes a double free when we do
strlist__delete() as the node is already deleted but present in the
rblist.
[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -a do_fork
Added new event:
probe:do_fork (on do_fork)
Make sure we remove the node from the rblist before we delete the node.
The rblist__remove_node() will invoke rblist->node_delete, which will
take care of deleting the node with the suitable function provided by

uprobes: Introduce MMF_HAS_UPROBES
Add the new MMF_HAS_UPROBES flag. It is set by install_breakpoint()
and it is copied by dup_mmap(), uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() checks
it to avoid the slow path if the task was never probed. Perhaps it
makes sense to check it in valid_vma(is_register => false) as well.
This needs the new dup_mmap()->uprobe_dup_mmap() hook. We can't use
uprobe_reset_state() or put MMF_HAS_UPROBES into MMF_INIT_MASK, we
need oldmm->mmap_sem to avoid the race with uprobe_register() or
mmap() from another thread.
Currently we never clear this bit, it can be false-positive after
uprobe_unregister() or uprobe_munmap() or if dup_mmap() hits the
probed VM_DONTCOPY vma. But this is fine correctness-wise and has
no effect unless the task hits the non-uprobe breakpoint.

uprobes: Change uprobe_mmap() to ignore the errors but check fatal_signal_pending()
Once install_breakpoint() fails uprobe_mmap() "ignores" all other
uprobes and returns the error.
It was never really needed to to stop after the first error, and
in fact it was always wrong at least in -ENOTSUPP case.
Change uprobe_mmap() to ignore the errors and always return 0.
This is not what we want in the long term, but until we teach
the callers to handle the failure it would be better to remove
the pointless complications. And this doesn't look too bad, the
only "reasonable" error is ENOMEM but in this case the caller
should be oom-killed in the likely case or the system has more
serious problems.
However it makes sense to stop if fatal_signal_pending() == T.
In particular this helps if the task was oom-killed.
1. Kill dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap(), it was only needed to calculate
new_mm->uprobes_state.count removed by the previous patch.
If the forking process has a pending uprobe (int3) in vma, it will
be copied by copy_page_range(), note that it checks vma->anon_vma
so "Don't copy ptes" is not possible after install_breakpoint()
which does anon_vma_prepare().
2. Remove is_swbp_at_addr() and "int count" in uprobe_mmap(). Again,
this was needed for uprobes_state.count.
As a side effect this fixes the bug pointed out by Srikar,
this code lacked the necessary put_uprobe().
3. uprobe_munmap() becomes a nop after the previous patch. Remove the
meaningless code but do not remove the helper, we will need it.
Oleg Nesterov [Mon, 6 Aug 2012 11:15:09 +0000 (13:15 +0200)]
uprobes: Kill uprobes_state->count
uprobes_state->count is only needed to avoid the slow path in
uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier(). It is also checked in uprobe_munmap()
but ironically its only goal to decrement this counter. However,
it is very broken. Just some examples:
- uprobe_mmap() can race with uprobe_unregister() and wrongly
increment the counter if it hits the non-uprobe "int3". Note
that install_breakpoint() checks ->consumers first and returns
-EEXIST if it is NULL.
"atomic_sub() if error" in uprobe_mmap() looks obviously wrong
too.
- uprobe_munmap() can race with uprobe_register() and wrongly
decrement the counter by the same reason.
- Suppose an appication tries to increase the mmapped area via
sys_mremap(). vma_adjust() does uprobe_munmap(whole_vma) first,
this can nullify the counter temporarily and race with another
thread which can hit the bp, the application will be killed by
SIGTRAP.
- Suppose an application mmaps 2 consecutive areas in the same file
and one (or both) of these areas has uprobes. In the likely case
mmap_region()->vma_merge() suceeds. Like above, this leads to
uprobe_munmap/uprobe_mmap from vma_merge()->vma_adjust() but then
mmap_region() does another uprobe_mmap(resulting_vma) and doubles
the counter.
This patch only removes this counter and fixes the compile errors,
then we will try to cleanup the changed code and add something else
instead.

perf/x86: Fix microcode revision check for SNB-PEBS
The following patch makes the microcode update code path
actually invoke the perf_check_microcode() function and
thus potentially renabling SNB PEBS.
By default, CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE is
forced to Y in arch/x86/Kconfig. There is no
way to disable this. That means that the code
path used in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
did not include the call to perf_check_microcode().
Thus, even though the microcode was updated to a
version that fixes the SNB PEBS problem, perf_event
would still return EOPNOTSUPP when enabling precise
sampling.
This patch simply adds a call to perf_check_microcode()
in the call path used when OLD_INTERFACE=y.

perf_event_interrupt() records an event only when an overflow occurs. But
this check for overflow is a simple 'if (val < 0)'.
Because the events are rolled back, this check for overflow fails and the
event is not recorded. perf_event_interrupt() later uses pmc_overflow() to
detect the overflow and resets the counters and the events are lost completely.
To properly detect the overflow of rolled back events, use pmc_overflow()
even when recording events.

Set 277889 page(s) to 1-1 mapping
Populating 40200-40466 pfn range: 614 pages added
=> here we set from 40466 up to bc559 P2M tree to be
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. We should have done it up to bc558.
The end result is that if anybody is trying to construct

still hangs seen with a more stressful hotplug testing.
It's expected that once imx_enable_cpu(cpu, false) is called, the cpu
will be taken down by hardware immediately, and the code after that
will not get any chance to execute. However, this is not always the
case from the testing. The cpu could possibly be alive for a few
cycles before hardware actually takes it down. So rather than letting
cpu execute some code that could cause a hang in these cycles, let's
make the cpu spin there and wait for hardware to take it down.

block: replace __getblk_slow misfix by grow_dev_page fix
Commit 91f68c89d8f3 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow")
is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee
that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to
__find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there.
Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595:
inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console,
which pointed to this commit.
I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs
sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on
ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7
itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an
irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between
18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2).
(I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages
from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until
yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.)
Revert 91f68c89d8f3, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus
a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers()
and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device
by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume
that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()),
returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case.
And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird"
comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really
now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??

size of the ucode patch + 8 (ie. size of the header). Later this is
compared against the maximum possible ucode patch size for a CPU family.
And of course this fails if the patch has already maximum size.

KVM: x86 emulator: use stack size attribute to mask rsp in stack ops
The sub-register used to access the stack (sp, esp, or rsp) is not
determined by the address size attribute like other memory references,
but by the stack segment's B bit (if not in x86_64 mode).
Fix by using the existing stack_mask() to figure out the correct mask.
This long-existing bug was exposed by a combination of a27685c33acccce
(emulate invalid guest state by default), which causes many more
instructions to be emulated, and a seabios change (possibly a bug) which
causes the high 16 bits of esp to become polluted across calls to real
mode software interrupts.
